IMURSDATf KVRNIWO, MAY 30,1884. A Hato.Iier Striking Hack. Butcher DIelorle, who wns recently discharged by Judge Allisen, of Phila delphia! en the ground that there was net nufllclent evidence te connect lilm with the alleged murder of Frederick BUthl, new proposes te make It warm for these who were responsible for his false Imprisonment, He has brought a civil suit for damages against two of the men who were chiefly Instrumental In his de tention, laying his damages at $50,000. This Ib an eminently proper proceeding en the part of the injured plnintltr. Whlle he may recover but n small por tion of his claim In damages, the suit will afford him excellent opportunity te vindicate his reputation, which lias suf fered in no little degree by the notoriety glven him by the case and the degrada tion attendant en his wrongful detention in prison. Ne damages, however large in amount, can properly compensate Dleturle for the criminal mtsUke made in detaining him In prison en ovidence insufficient te e3tabllih evon a urfiwi facie case against him. Ilia business suffere 1 in his ab sence, his family felt the sting that fol lowed the degradation of its head, and the prisoner himself was unjustly denied the greatest of the three prerogatives attaching te man under the common law the right te personal liberty. Men cannot be tee careful in their accusations when the reputation of a fellow clliren Is at stake. Vague iiisln nations in private cannot well Ik? pre vented, but when the charge is public, the facta substantiating It must be suffi cient and certain. .Spotless reputation Is "the dearest jewel mortal life affords," and he who wantonly and without cause assails it, deserves te suffer the full rigor of the law. m mm m Tiieiie will be little sympathy wasted upon McKinley, who was ousted from the seat in Congress of which he has been drawing the salary for fifteen months. Ha was given his certillcate by a Republican retiring beard lu Ohie against the equlttei of the case. Notwithstanding the opinion of the Republican attorney general that all votes obviously intended for Wallace should be counted for him, Gov. Vaster auil Sec. Townsend, a majority of the Republican returning beard, denied him his certillcate because some of his votes appeued variously for "Jonathan Wal lace" "J. H. Wallace," "Jehn II. Wallace," "W. II. Wallace," " W. W. Wallace" and " MaJ. Wallace"-his correct name being Jonathan II. Wallace. It has been McKinley's beast that in his seven years ser vice in Congress lie h id voted te unseat forty fix Democrats and had never voted for a single ene in a content. He also made campaign speeches m which he said that the Forty seventh Congress which had been charged with doing nothing had unseated twelve Dem ocrats aud seated twelve Republicans, a 'id for this alone it deserved the thanks of the country. Of course this meanness and bigotry en his pare were no justifl catien of his ouster had he been fairly elected, hut they are very strong evi evi evi (loiice that he is net an honest and fair judge of his own claims te the seat ; and that these claims were ill founded m mm m. The New England Republicans woke up the wrong customer when they stir red up Uncle Joellrewn.of Georgia, te a comparative examinational New E lg land aud Utah morality. The Pecksniffs from that region are never se happy as wheu they are demonstrating that the people of 3eme ether section are wholly evil and given ever te abominations. Utah, Mormeuism and polygamy have long been favorite targets for their long lauge morality. Meantime their own just preachers and lawgivers have been furnishing fearful statistics of the deca dence of social purity In the New Hug land states, and wheu the Georgia sena tor get the fleer the ether day, it was easy for him te make a vivid contrast c f New England und Utah, that did net show the former te great advantage : Tbore had been ever 27 000 diveir-et. granted lu New Englaud within the last twenty yearn. destroying 27,000 families and turning loose- 54,000 persons te marry again, all illegally, except these- who were divorced for adultery or fornleati m in the ether party. Assuming that j or them had been divorced for adultery, it would lcave 80,000 persons divorced aud married again, who wero practicing polygamy in New Englaud. while the Utah commit sien, noting under the Edmunds bill, alter Having senrcucci Utah with the test oath, could lind but 12,000 rueu aud women who would net swear they had never iu their lives been guilty of polygamy. Prostitu tion was practiced in New Euglatid te an nlarmlug extent, aud fraticide lean extent that 11 continued would in less than a ceu tury depopulate New England of its Purl tan atoek, whlle Utah is practically free of both. A nation of Mormons was inipeBsi. bio; net se a nation of libertines. The gatherlug of the Republican clans in Chicago, aud the gossip of the news paper correspondents from that present centre of political interest, de net shed much light en the outcome of the con vention, nor ludlcate the probable neml nees. The struggle Is between Maine aud Arthur, with the forces of the ud ministration mere compact and mere easily transferable. There does net Beem te be any material differ ence between their respective Btrengths, the hungrs and anxious delegations who want te determine the winner and te east their fortunes with him, holding the balance of power and desiring te put their votes where they will de them selves the most geed, Mr. Ulaine's friends manifest a high degree of nerv ousness, und he shows hia own luterest by transferring himself te Augusta, Me. during theslttlug of thocenventlon.thus avoiding the dangers of sunstroke which he suffered In Washington en a previous memorable occasion. The one thing he avows his Interest in is the defeat of both Arthur nnd Edmunds ; and In this he Is likely te be gratified, as the Held is sen erally (reed against the favorlte or, in u largehwd, against evon any two or three mi a i W.b. are privileged te print tedav seme extracts from a private letter from B prominent nublle mnn nnd a perenlca. oleus observer of political events. Were we allowed te give his name it would be recognized nt once ns that of ene who, by his oxpcrlence nnd in his position at Washington, Is able te Judge of the drift of eventa aud with rcasonable contl centl contl dence te predict their future course. Widely as we may differ from his con clusions and judgment we have reason te knew that they are founded In Intelll gqnt observation and a wide knowledge of men and things. It is really painful te see that nobody pajsthe least attention te Jehn Slier man's report en the se called Danville and Copiah " outrages." After his fab rication of the Infamous Eliza Plnksten case the country set hlru down for a reckless partisan and unmitigated liar ; and It has never had reason te change its mind. Hew many mere banks in the country, apparently solid, would dovelop en inves tigation the same rottenness as the New Yerk aud Pittsburg concerns, is what no fellow cau find out.

The idei, of ubol ubel ishlni: this braueh of work in the oenvent was net due te any lack of patronage ir want of llnaucl.il support, but because it te some oxteut interfered with the works of charity, fce , which nre tbe main objeets of the order.

Tue excitement caused by the fallure of the lVnu bank In Pittsburg reached its eliinnt en Wednesday afternoon, when it broinie known that its resources had been completely exhausted by llctitieus ber reweis nnd that the prospects are that baldly enough will be saved from the wreck te piy ihe expenses of wimlirg up its ntrairs. The examination of the biMks has led te the discovery that persons, pre sumably etllclals of the built or bankers handling oil for the institution, had, under the name of firms that have no existence, everdrawu their accounts at least $1,200, 000, aud it Is feared, when all the indi vidual accounts have been examined, tint the showieg will be still werse. It Is uew 07ldent that this stale of af fairs iu the bank h.w net been of recent development, but dates back for at leit threj years te the tune of the Chen Urove excitement, when the price of oil fell below 50 ceuls and buikshad great difficulty iu keeping their customers up te the liue in the matter of maigins The Poun did net succeed in doing se and this was the begiuniug of that which finally wrecked it. A gentlcuiau cemer;ant with the method of the bank says : " Had th Penu bank closed it d iers the 1st of M ireh and wound up its atr.irs I doubt whether depositors would have realized ten per cent en their accounts It his beiU Iumuj: money steadily since, aud will net, I believe, realize live per cent, under liquidation. It has been doing busiiies entirely ou a falsa teputa tien. At tbe time I speak of I saw a transcript of the ucoeuut of a prominent oil speculator at tbe Peen, which showed an eerdraft of mere than $170,000, and this was uet an isolated ease, as te ray certain knowltdge there were ethers When cash tnu 1 ) they adopted the de vie of margiu slips te tide thorn ever, and a few weeks age seme of the binks wete full of the ' evidences of indebtedness,' whteh readily hail ue uiore value than the piper upon which they were printed. Some bauks, as the Allehey national for instance, refused te touch these margin slips, and the ethers gradually drew away from them. Out of the calliug by the Merchants aud Manufacturers' national bauk for the cash en $SO,000 worth of this sort of paper grew the stories as te the Penu's sbnkiness, which se excited the indignation of Mr. Riddle and ether co nccted with tbe bank and which, perhaps, was instrumental iu precipitating a crash, which must inevitably have come within a short time unless prevented by semi thing little sheit of a tiuancial miracle, ilont-ycetnooa from Tep te Hattem. " The whele institution was honey combed from top te bottom nud it is one of the wonders of the aju that the dram should have goue "ii se long without dis cjvery by the sTiv.holders. It was Pies ideut Riddle's habit te publish a eUU meat of the condition of the Penn bank when ever the nation U lucks made ene in io ie io speuse te the rail of the comptroller of the currency. Judged hy thet-e showings the bank was proceeding en a highly prosper eus cireer, but in the light of lacts new coming out the public can judge accurately of the utter worthlessness e uis ugures. It is the old story ever again of ttirewmg geed dollars te c itch bad ones. Having get into difficulty by its Ioefo business methods, looser moral expedients were resorted te te regain lest money, with the result of plunging still deeper lute difli cnlty and danger." The d roctets made an assignment te Henry 'Stard, an experienced tinaucier President Riddle has coufessed judgment in favor of the directors for $90,000 and nearly all his per mal property has been attached. Tue cashi-r, U. L Raber, is under police surveillance. Criminal proceedings are talked of iu msny q Jirters If they are begun, ail the c tllietti of the hank will be included as defendant. The directors have net iet ma le a statemeut, hut it is understood ha they de net kuew who composed the fictitious firms whise acceuuts are ever drawn, and that President Riddle and Cashier Rr-rbcr have le fused te give any information ou the fcubj-ct. It is charged that securities and notes left for collection hae b:cn hypothecated and that $l0 00u cub reported le be en hand when the hank closed Us d ors has beeii reduoeJ te 0 000. The directors of the bauk who signed mtcs Individually for the $239,000 ebtaiu ed from the associated banks are iu an unpleaiant tositien. They will have te pay $72,000 every thirty days, aud they have te pay this with securieties turned ever te them by the bank as collateral. The associated bauks refused te take these securities in the tirst mstance aud uege tiatiens would have ended if it had net been for the agreement of the direoters te give uoies. A new complication has arisen because the attorneys of some of the depositors are preptrlng the papers necessary ti support a claim that the depositors have a prier claim ou the se curities held by the directors and that they are net entitled te held them. nit. jir.riieuisT uuMfKitr.auis.
