THE object ofCa postal savings bank
Will be to bring ointo the channels of
commerce and trade the money that Is
to-day being hoatded by a large class
of our people in all parts of the coun-
try. The great majority of the immi-
grants who cOmei here are ignorant of
our language, and are not familiar with
our institutions, but have absolute con-
f1dence in the Government. The moneys
that they sent abroadrlast year amount
ed to about s7S0O0loo0 in money or
ders.
I'm order to sHt this money into cir
culation after it is brought to the post
office, 1 propose to place 1t with the
National banks in the districts where
the money is deposited; that is. in those
banks which are Government depositor-
les The rate of interest which 1 shall
recommend will be two per cent, or
one per ctnt semi-annually, thus giving
evidence that the Government does not
desire or wish to compete in any way
with the existing savings banks.
Every National bank president with
whom I have spoken has assured me
of his readiness to allow on these spe-
cial deposits to postal savings banks a
rate of two and a half and three per
cent. Consequently 1T is plain that in

GEN. N. p. BANKS.
A Record Of Dismal Failures in the De.

A Record Of Dismal Failures in the De-
partment Of the Gulf.
Editor National Tribune: In the issue
of Oct. 13 1 notice an exception taken
by w. L. Stork to Comrade McElroy's
criticism of Gen. Banks. He cites
Banks's work in the Valley in '61-'62,
but failed to give his blunders and in
efficiency in the Gulf Department in
1864. 1 don't know anything about his
record referred to, but saw all l wanted
when he was in command of the Nine
teenth Corps. 1t is safe to say he cost
the Government a round million if not
more in that year. Port Hudson might
easily have been taken the first day If
he had had the first element of a COM
mander. The men lost all faith in him
after that. Then, again. the 14th of
June came another useless slaughter
that was not followed up. But his
greatest achievement, that should have
retired him, was at Sabine Pass, when
he allowed 40 men in little mud fort
to capture two gunbOats with more than
double their armament and over 200
men, who went to rebel prison for near
ly a year. The rebels had hardly taken
possession of the boat before Banks up
sail and back to New Orleans, and then
followed this up by crowning effort,
the Red River invasion, when but for
the ingenuity of one of his officers he
would have lost his entire fleet and
possibly army, too. according to all ac-
counts, an inferior force. When / read
McElroy's article L most heartily con-
Cured with it, and think it was not n
bit too strong, but, like all he has writ
ten so far, just rights II. Wright,

Taft at Oklahoma City. 1t was grand,

pie, who had followed his address for
two hours. His simplicity and candOr
won the hearts of all, and he supported
everything he said with undeniable
facts. His denunciation of the tumble
of words patched up to pass for Con-
stitut!on was severe but just, and
aroused the audience to wild applause

Francis remembers that on the retreat
from Mechanicsville to Gaines's Mill he
saw burning apparently two acres of
commissary stores. whisky, crackers,
pork, beef. etc. He found those two
acres piled from 12 TO Is feet high. The
pile looked large enough to feed Gen.
Porter's Corps for month. At the
time it was said that over $1,000, 900
worth of commissary stores were burn
