NEW YORK, March 28, 1876.
THE BIG BANK FAILURE.
To the surprise of everybody, the Bank of
the State of New York closed its doors Tues-
day. This was one of the oldest banks in
llll'. eh y, and was presumed to be one of the
soundcst, and the failure created a profound
sensation on the street. Stocks went doivn
i‘riglnfully, other banks shivered in anticipa-
tion of runs, and for awhile it seemed proba-
ble that a panic would sweep over the street.
lur, fortunately, the event passed without
any wide-spread trouble.
This failure lets in a flood of light on New
York business and New York business men.
When this staid,solid old bank—this eminent-
lyrespeetable “financial institution,” went
under, and its affairs came to be investigated,
it was found that none of the directors, or,
for that matter, any of the officers knew any-
thing about its management, a d that not one
of them had ever looked lug) it, there had
never been a regular meeting of the board,
and that the whole management was left in
the hands of one man, the Vice-President,
Partrick! As a matter of course Mr. Partrick
lent himwlf $200,000, and he had lent the
" Attrition Flour Co." $400,000 on $600,000
of its stock, which stock was worth about
four cents a pound, and equally as a matter of
course every shyster‘ concern in New York
in which Mr. Partrick, was interested, or
felt friendly toward, had its money on just as
worthless security. The directors were all
surprised when the failure was made known
to them. .
The effect of the failure will be bad in one
sense and good in another. It will be bad
because it will unsettle confidence, and make
distrust. It will be good because it will
compel directors to look into the manage-
ment, and see what is being done with the
money with which they are entrusted.
‘ A $100,000 nouss.
Do you remember the failure of the “ emi-
nent” banking house of Ducan, Sherman &
Co? Of course you do; and you also re-
member. that they didn’t pay scarcely any
thing on the dollar, and that their creditors
were fearfully indignant. It is comforting to
take up a Newport paper and read that Mr.
\VattsSherman, one of the partners, is‘build-
ing a cottage in that “city by the sea," the
cost of which is only $100,000! And this for
asummer residence only. Failing is not a
very bad business, after all. If a ruined man
can afford a $100,000 house, what ought one
to have who sticks to his legitimate business
and goes on regularly? The Vice-President of
the big bank failure of Tuesday, will proba-
bly build himself a cottage next year.
run LABOR 11112an
is in a fearful condition. ,One publishing
house has discharged thirty clerks since Jan-
nary ist, every oneof whom are now out of
employment, and will be till trade revives.
The great metal house of Phelps, Dodge &
()0. notified their employees that they should
be compelled to dismiss one-half of them,
whereupon the men held a meeting and re-
solved to work for one-half wages, provided
the whole force should be kept on, To this
the house consented, and the men are doing
the best they can until something turns up.
One manufacturer in the city who never, till
last year, employed less than 1200 men, has
but 400 at this time. He discharged 600
last week. These are but sample cases. The
whole industry of the city is paralyzed, and
distress is not only wide-spread,but universal.
Those who are doing work, are doing it for
thcgharest and closest. possible subsistence,
and they agexccedingly fortunate. \Vhere

K, t . .y are living on, Heaven only knows. I
“can“ hire ten thousand women to-lnorrow for
$5 a week, women skilled in the labor they
do, and men can be had in droves for a dollar
a week more. When will good times come!
Dnsw’s FAILURE.
The failure of Daniel Drew, once the king
of Wall street, produced no sensation, for
the old fellow nearly failed a year ago. He
has been uniformly unfortunate for some
years, and “the boys," as he was wont to
term the younger members of the board,
have squeezed him unmcl'cifully. And final-
'ly they have got him down, :lnd everybody is
glad of it. In his‘day, when he had power,
he showed nomercy. He never asked or gave
it, and now that his enemies have him, they
mete out to him his own medicine. Drew’s
career was a strange one. He commenced
life as a (Il'OVCi‘, and having accumulated
some little money, wentinto Wall street. As
he was totally unscrupulous, very bold and
during in his operations, and very shrewd as
well, he amassed an immense fortune. At
one time he was worth not less than fif-
teen millions, and he was never quoted at less
than ten. He was probably the most igno-
rant man that ever did business. His igno.
rance of the English language was one
of the standing jokes on the street,
and “ Drew’s last" was ' as common as
lying. He approached a broker one morning
with the remark, “ Don't you b’lieve that the
skrimmagc on Nor'westerll her. about Hill/II)-
. skinned the boys out of it jzst ez-easg !"
willed ?“ ‘f (.‘alulnniater ” was as good a word
for him as >‘.‘ culminated”: He . is in. bud}

I - f villainous operation in stocks would endow a
religious school or ‘ a church with as much
unetion as though he had been in dead earn- 5
est. ‘Iic built and endowed a selllinul‘y ill
New Jersey, and his benefaetions were wide-
'spread. ‘It is said of him that he was applied
toto give enough to endow a school at a time
When he felt rather poo . “I wanted to do
it,” said Drew, “ but didn‘t see my way
clear, so'I prayed over it, and wrastled long,
and I got a anser right away. I riz from my
knees, and Went down on the’ street and
In
a schedule of his effects, he takes great pains
to include “ Bibles and hymn-books, $150.
The loss of those books must prey on the old
man’s mind i As it is said: that he has some-
thing ill the neighborhood of five million Safe-
1y put away in the name of his family, it is
not probable that he will suffer in his old age.
He was a great admirer of Jim Fisk, and did
a great deal of business with him when Fisk
was on the street.

After tllc usual preliminary squabbling, the
ladies of New York have gone to' work ill
good earnest, resolved to have a show worth
the name at. the exhibition. The women rep-
resenting the oldest families in the State,
bearing honored names of the revolution, the
Schuylers, Livingstoncs and VanRenssehers,
have ordered a flag, richly embroidered with
the arms of the State, which will be hung in
Independence nth after the exhibition, as a
trophy for the next Centennial. This was
thought a small matter to exhaust the resour-
ces of the women of the city, and they are to
raise the $15,000, to complete a pavilion,
where tlleir'dierrcnt works of art and skill
may be shown, and, as usual, the best way of
raising the money is by giving entertainments.
Titicns is to sing'at a grand concert to help
build the pavilion, and the amateurs of the
City are working every other night in theat-
ricals for the same end, young ladies and gen—
tlemen of the best families appearing at the
Union League Club Theatre before crowded
houses. One of the city judges andhis daugh-
ter played together one night, the judge, it is
said, appearing with the spirit and grace of a
young luau of twenty-five, by the side of his
daughter of eighteen. The single perform-
ance realized $900 for the fund. The deci-
sion of Mrs. Gillespie, who is the head of the
Women’s Commission in Philadelphia, refus-
ing with unnecessary curtness, to admit all
specimens of women’s work relating to
dress, raised such criticism that it was found
' expedient to ,modify the rule. A strict inter-
pretation of it would exclude all such valua-
ble arts as lace making, which has attained
a very creditable stage in this country, em-
..broidery and design in dress, in which our
women‘can show much more creditable han-
diwork than anything they have yet done in
painting, let alone sculpture. The action of
the committee at Philadelphia was in blind
indifference to the high esteem in which
needle-work is held in England, where speci—
mens of lace, embroidery and dress, form
one of the most attractive and elegant depart-
ments of the Museum at Kensington, of
which Peeresses are the interested patrons
and contributors, and in which the Princess
Louise herself is an enthusiastic amateur. In
my way of thinking, the Philadelphia ladies
have done their sex an injury by omitting to
pay proper respect to their peculiar arts, and
so elevating them abo ve the level of trades
and drudgery. A very curious and interest-
ing department at the exhibition would be
specimens of fine needle-work from the days
of the revolution down. The excuse of the
committee (that to admit such things would
bring down on them all the dressmakers and
millincls in the country,) is as unreasonable
as to exclude all machinery because the whole
patent office might be offered. ' It was theirs
to choose what to exhibit. This isa question
which ought to interest every woman in the
country who wants to see proper balance of
respect shown to all branches of woman’s
duty and work, to sewing and dressmaking
as well as making poor clay figures and pic-
tures out of drawing. '
'rnn xsw nanrsnlnn ELECTION.
You can’t imagine the wild delight with
which the news of the glorious triumph in
New Hampshire was received by the Repub-
licans of New York. If there is any one
thing that the New York Republican dreads,
as a business man, and aside from any politi-
cal feeling, it is the return of the democracy
to power, for it means to him the old Tweed
rule, which is another name for ruin. The
sentiment of the Republicans of the city was
well expressed by a prominent business man
at the Union League Club. “The election
and victory," said he, “is not an endorse.
ment of Bclknap and the thieves—it. is a ver-
dict that the Republican party is not rcspon-~
sible for the acts of a few corrupt men.
And speaking of this election, it is singular
how it tears into the independents. The Tri-
bune has awakened to the fact that the Re-
publican party is the only one that ever did
any investigating in its own ranks, and the
only one that ever punished its own thieves.
It really seemed to feel good over the Repub-
lican triumph in the Granite State, and read
more as it used to before Horace Greeley went
insane, thanit it has for years. It would not
be singular. if the Tribune should get. back
into the Republican fold, and be a power in
the party once more. PIETRO. '
The most. wonderful explanation of the
Democratic defeatin New-Hampshire comes
from that soft money curiosity-shop in Cin-
cinnati, The Inquirer 'ofiice. ,“TheDemo.
crats of New-Hampshire and Connecticut,"
says the editor, “failed to present to the
peopleabeneficent measure. They ignored
the vital issue, and they will probabl lose

or is it not, equally right _ one man, a ba-
ker, to undertake to do all that same Sunday
morning, cooking for fifty or a hundred fam-
ilies in his neighborhood, they to send to his
shop in due season for their brown bread and

for their meals that day ‘3 Again, no one
questionsthe propriety of a Sabbath conver-

if it be right to 'write sucb aletter, but wrong
to post it, how does it become less wrong to
post any letter on Saturday night, when its
destination and route are such that it. must
help to swell a Sunday mail? Few of the
many people who would never read a Sun-
day morning newspaper do not hesitate ta
read a Monday morning paper. Yet if Sab-
bath labor be the influencing consideration,
why should the latter be allowed and the
former forbidden? Many people use the
horse cars on the Sabbath without a scruple,
who would feel it very wrong to use the
steam cars. Yet is it not probable that the
latter would make in proportion less work for
man and beast than the former ? It is right
we will suppose, to ride ill your carriage one

to ride two miles ? Five ‘3 Tell? And if

The Registry Lists
'Aro now out. We hope every voter has. ex-
amincdthem to see if his name ison the list
. of his district andto see if the names of his'
acquaintances are on their lists; also, to dis-
cover any errors in the lists either in omis-
sions of any names which should be on
them, or if they contain the name of any
person who is dead, out of town, or in any
manner disqualified to vote, or if the name
of any one person is on the lists of two or
more districts.
If any one discovers any errors whatsoever
in either of the lists he should report these
urrors to the registrars, and he can find
where the registrars meet by referring to the
advertisements in the. GAZETTE.
The registry lists should be absolutely cor-
rect ; they should contain the name of every
person entitled to vote and be purified of
every name not entitled to be there, and it is
every voter’s duty to aid in making the lists
entirely correct so far as he can. '
Cheer up, General Grant.
wasnlxo'rox’s SECRETARY OF STATE .tcssrrun
nnlnns.
General Grant’s career presents many anal-
ogies to that of the Father of his Country, in
both its successes and misfortunes. At just
about the same period in Washington’s presL
dential career, that this Belknap blight has
fallen on General Grant’s administration, Ed-
mund Randolph, secretary of state, was ac-
cused of accepting bribes to influence the pol-
icy of the country in favor of France and
against Great Britain. Confronted with the
documentsafl'ording evidence of this venality.
Randolph resigned: The President at once not
only accepted the resignation, but kept its
cause aprofound secret until Randolph should
be able to construct a defense! Randolp’was
not impeached, for the lower house of Con-
gress, then, as now, was hostile to the Presi-
dent ; but it sollappened that Randolph sided
in his views with the House and against the
President. But his course was very suspicious
Washington regarded his final ‘ ‘vindication” as
unsatisfactory in spots, and mendaeious in
other spots; and Hildreth, the. historian, says
that the secretary, although the especial cabi-
net confident of Washington, left office a de-
faulter. Cheer up, General Grant. You are
not without prayient in your misfortune.
Neither are you alone in the abuse malignant
and disappointed republicans and hostile delu-
ocrnts and infuriated confederates are heaping
upon you, Chief Justice Marshall, the great
historian of Washington and his administra-
tion, states that the newspapers of the time,
especially those of Baclle and Freneall,hurled
upon the original proprietor of the little
hatcllct,every epithet and charge the imagina-
tion could invent. They not only attacked his
cabinet,his obscure men lifted to place, while
old chaps indorsed by the party were ignored,
but they with equal virulence raided uponhis
private life, his personal habits, and even his
business honesty, accusing him of personal
peeulation upon the Federal treasury. The last
charge George ,Washington, who had served
through the Revolution without salary, mere-
ly drawing his expenses, was bound to no-
tice. He did so by a statement from the sec-
retary of the treasury, showing that as exe-
cutive, $25,000 per year, was entered up
'quarterly on the books, but paid from time to
time upon tha‘order of Washington’s stew-
hrd. Sometimes the drafts overran the entry
for the given quarter, and sometimes they fell
short, but ollt of this grew a charge of steal-
ing against the party who was “first in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen.” We do not wish to unduly
elate Ulysses, by showing to how minute an
extent his public career corresponds to that of
his immortal predecesssor; we might other-
wise consider the parallel on the third term
business far enough to show that the only
thing that kept G. W. from taking another
four years was a lively notion that the mis-
guided populace, led on by disreputable ca-
bals and political demagogues, would very
likely prevail so far as to beat him at the
polls. The best presidents the country has
ever had have been the most abused, just as
the most clubs are found under the best apple
trees—Uldcayo Pool.

A SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF 'l‘lll‘. RESULT
IN SHIV HAMPSHIRE.
Returns from 'New Hampshire indicate
the State on Tuesday by something more than
a thousand votes. We are not at all surpris-
ed at the result ; in fact, we expected it.
“’6 cannot trust any state whose interests are
confined to manufactorim. The great mass
of voters .are merely political automatons;
are under the surveillance of their employees;
have no freedom of opinion ; are dependent
upon others for their daily bread ; and like
dumb cattle, are driven ‘to the shambles at
their masters’ will. Besides, there ,is‘nothing
in common between us and New England
people. Mean and petty in their spite ; vin-
dicative and malignant in their hatred; and
base and cowardly by nature, they are inca-
pable of a magnanimous act or of any of the
noble impulses that actuate a warm and gen-
erous heart; They tried as once, and found
us so hard to conquer that they have feared
us ever since, and would now, after a decade
of peace, favor any measure that would
place collars upon our necks or' make galley
slaves of our Southern manhood. The only
possible objection to the Democratic party is
that it favors the freedom and enfranchise-
meat of the Southern States, and that alone
is sufficient to damn it forever in the eyes of
the New England Yankee. Yet, while we
expected nothing patriotic from the Radical
Yankee, whose very name is the synonym of
all that is pusillanimous and sordid in nature,
nevertheless we cannot but feel somewhat
dejected at the course of New Hampshire on
last Tuesday. The peeple who did the' vo-
ting are at least human creatures ; have the
blood of the Anglo Saxon race coursing in
their veins, and are sufficiently intelligent to
know that it is a violation of- all laws, both
the thieves who are plundering all that is
sacred and‘valuablc in their own country.
The Radical party has swept like a typhoon
over the plains of this broad Union; it has
scouredfihe fields and withered the vegetation;
.it has defaced the landmarks and destroyed
our institutions ; it hasspit upon our cher-
ished traditions and defied our laws ; it has
trampled upon our liberties and plundered
our treasures ; it has shamed us at home and
disgraced us abroad; and New Hampshire,
after all this, gone Radical! Well might we
exclaim, Blush, then, 0 humanity, for anoth-
name! The dark flood of Radicalism thathaa
swept. over the country for the last ten .years
has leftits stagnant pools only to produce
sickness and disease everywhere. The stench
and miasma that is arising daily from the
putrid filth and decaying mould is nauseating
in the extreme. Wail after wail of official
corruption has come up from every quarter of
the Union. The public funds have been stolen
by the millions, and the tracks of the thieves
traced directly to the White House. An age
of pcculation’ and venality such 'as probably
no nation has witnessed since the degenerate
days of Caligula and Didius, of the Roman
Empire, has sprung up here in our midst;
and instead of an honor it now has become a
reproach to be called all American citizen!
Reports that bribery alld dishonesty were
discovered ill the Cabinet and among the
highest trustees of the government, electrified
the wires and astounded the people from one
end of this continent to the other, yet right
upon the heels of these most startling disclo-
sures, New Hampshire indorses the course of
an Administration that protects and shields
the perpetrators of the dark crimes. We
verily believe that corruption is one of the
strongest bands which holds the Republican
party together, and the more wide-spread it
is developed, the more closely it is determin-
cd to stick. Surely the sturdy yeomen of
the great West and states like New York,
cannot. indorse such shameless acts.

The Discovery arm can.
The festival called the “Invention of the
Cross," instituted in honor of the flhdinfl 0’
1 the 01089. in 320, by the Empress Helethhe .
mother of Constantine, is ochbrated on Ibo
3d of May. The story of the discovery is re-
lated by Secratcs, Sozomen, Refinuo, '1 hood, -
oret, Paulinus, Sulpicius Severus, St." Cyril ,of
Jerusalem and Chrysostom; but Ennbiusjs
silent regarding it. When Helena visited the
scene'l about Jerusalem. it is said that every
trace of the great events had been obliterated
by the heathen, and a temple of Venus stood
upon Mount Calvary; but 8 Jew, Who had
tl’mlfl'ed up WM ”Editions he could gather,
pointed out the probable place 01' Christ's
sepulchre. The BpOt being 933"“. three
crosses were discovered. and the title which
that of- Jesus bore was found lying by itself.
It is related that the cross of Christ was dis
tinguislied from the other two by miraculous
curves wrought by touching it. A church
was built over the spot, and apart '0! the 83-
cred relic was deposited in it; a part WEI
sent to Rome, and placed in the church - of
Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, built to receive
it; and the rest. was put by Constantine into
the head of a statue of himself in Constanti-
nople. The first was carried away by Choo-
roes, King of Persia, in 614, but was after-
ward recovered by the Emperor Heraclius,
who restored it to its former place in 629.
In the time of the Crusades it was home to
battle by the Christians, and was captured by
Salladin in 1187, in his great victory near Ti-_
berian. What is asserted to be a piece of the
true cross is still show nat Rome ; another was
preserved in Poland till the seventeenth cen-
tury, when it was presented by John Cuimir
to the Princess Palatine Anna Gonz'agn, who
bequeathed it to the monks of St. Germain,
in Paris; and innumerable small reputed
fragments are held by Catholics throughout

“ That’s Me."
I was sitting down in the Orphanage
grounds upon one of the seats, talking with
one of our brother trustees,.when a little fel-
low, I should think about eight years of age,
left the other boys who played around us and
cable deliberately up to us. He opened fire
upon us than : “‘Pleose, Hr. Spin-goon, I
want to come and sit down on that seat be—
tween you tWo gentlemen.” “Come along,
Bob, and tell us what you want. ”
“ Please, Mr. Spur-goon, suppose there was
a little boy who had (no fathers, who lived in
an orphanage with a lot of other little boys
who had no fathers, and suppose those boys
had mothers and aunts, who corned .. once a
month, and brought them apples and oranges
and gave them pennies, and suppose this lit-
tle boy had no mother and nobody ever com-
ed to bring him nice things, don’t-you think
somebody ought to give him a penny ? ‘Cause,
Mr. Spurgeod, that’s me. _
Somebody felt something wet in his eye,
and Bob got a sixpense, and went of! inl‘a
great state of delight. Poor little soul ; he:
had seized the opportunity to pour out a
sorrow which had made him miserable when
the motherly visiting day came round, and as
he said, “Nobody ever comed to bring him
nice things.”—Reo. C'. H. Spurgeon.
Settllng Coffee.
This can be done without anything being
put into your cofi’ee to settle it. It only
wants to be known how to handle it. Put
your ground coflee into the coffee-pot, add
cold water sufficient for use, if but a 'few
cups are 'wanted. Set on the stove and keep
there till the boiling point is reached, but in
no case boil. This requires, some watching
toward the last. Better set of! a few mo-
ments before boiling than have it boil; up.
Immediately when set of! stir the surface _
with a spoon. This can be done. two or three
times in as many minutes. Then let it rest.
In about ten minutes’ time it will be all sunk
to the bottom and fit to pour out. Where
more than a few cups are wanted, more wa-
ter (hot) may be added when the cofice-pot
is rembved from the stove, or the hot water
may be used to dilute the coflee when it is
poured out, asis sometimes done with tea.
In this way your cofiee will be clear and
sparkling, and what is of equal importance, it
will retainall its fine flavor and "exhilarating
properties, which, had it been boiléd, would
have been thrown of. Be particular in car-
rying out directions to the letter. You will
soon get the hang of it and thank us for the
directions, simple as they are—Indiana-

Gasman 811111211411 AND Purina—Gen-
eral Kilpntrick, in his review of Sherman’s
campaign, tells the following story: .
Shortly after our army had entered Savan-
nah a number of clergymen alledupon Gen-
eral Sherman, and among other questions in-
quired if they could hold divine service as
usual in the churches. _
“Certainly." said the general, “Why not?
We are specially directed by the ‘Army Reg-
ulations’ to pay due attention to divine service
on the Lord’s day. My soldiers are allChris-
tains; certainly, open your churches, we will
all go.” '
“But,” said a dignified, saintly-looking in-
dividual, “some of us are Episcopalians”
“Well, that is a good religion. No objec-
tion to your religion ; none whatever,” answer-
ed Sherman. : ,
“But, sir,” said the clergyman,'_“we are in
the habit of praying for the presidentand con-
gress." . - ‘
“That's right; pray for them; no objections
on this score.”
“Yes, sir—we

“Oh !” said Sherman, “you want to pray
for Jeff Davis, do you ?" '
“Yes, sir,”emphatically replied the clergy.

“All right,” said Sherman, his brow lower-

for both of them—the one needs it us much
as the other. k that all, gentlemen, ‘1’";
That was all—that wascuolxgh Theyhad
