'' T'M'ralir of Prussia was simply Elector of
Brandenburg, unllV,’ln the year 1701, the then
rilling ;Elector assumed' the' royal crown, In
stead of the ducal coronet, and declared him
iejf King of Prassla', by the title of FapEaio
s j^|'FigSti'* .Hisjson and,; successor, FnKDEnio
’Willum 1,, had the advantage of receiving
prestige] foomhis,connection with England,
boing :son,in-law to Gkohok I. .To him suc
ceeded that mixture of meanness and sagacity,
iof pedantry as a scholar and eminent merit as
a i’stddier, that’ Fbkdeeio, commonly called
’«'ThB;Qreat, "’ whose biography, written by
TnouAa CkKnYLE, in Germanized English,
hits, just been published in London, and will
immediately be, reproduced by the Hakpeks,
iof,New York. .This.man had a strong deter
mination to’. increase his territory, and acted
muchmpon the advice given by a knave-ie his
first-born,'« Get money—honestly if yon can,
but get money.” 'Where Fmdekio could not
buy, he robbed. He added Silesia to his do
minions by'forcible « annexation,” before he
had been two years ob the throne. The greater
part of hitfreign was spent in war, and, with a sa.
gacious forethought far. in advance of his time,
carefully cultivated all the arts of peace, amid
this continued series of military campaign.! In
-fact, he has aright to be called the real foun
der of th'O 'kingdom of Prussia; because: ha
"elevated'it to power, influence, and wealth in
Huropo. He,wound bp by joining in the par
tition of Roland, which immensely augmented
his ’territory,' and died, shortly before the
French Revolution, leaving Prussia the most
prosperous of all the European sovereignties.
FaKDEHiG William 11, hiß son, was a man
of inferior capacity, who probably escaped
ruin, by keeping as much as possible out of
other podple’s quarrels. He was drawn in,
.however, into the vortex of war caused by the
suppression,of monarchy ,in France, and died
,in 1797, when Napoleon’s star was beginning
•,to arise: in the political' horizon. His son and
successor, !Fbedhbio i William III; lived. to
seethe 'dismemberment of his kingdom !by
Napoleon, and its restoration by the Congress
oi •Vienna, in 1814, atwhich time he received
considerable accessions of territory. He
committed,the fatal mistake of promising con
btitutional liberty to 'Prussia, immediately
after, Napoleon’s downfall, and of evading
the fulfilment of that promise tor over qnar
iter of.a century..-Prussia required, and was
entitled to, a limited instead of an absolute
monarchy,' and it wonld bave been prudent to
have 5 ’ given her these liberal institutions—in
1 ofder' to. estabilsh Prussia as a balance, in Ger.
5 many; tor the restrictive absolutism of Aus
tria-.; r . !
! When, .Fubdebio. 'William XV ascended
the throne, in 1840, at the matnre age of forty
five, his earliest acts -awakened a belief that
.he was disposed' to reign as a moderate,
justice-dispensing, liberal-minded, God-fear
ingl monarch.' ! He affected so much Phari.
saical : piety : (which he has largely professed,
: ail through his llfoj even while doing very ir
rellgioUs things), 5 tlmt“ my Lord Phylactery”,
would have takon him to his .heart of heart,
lie restored the liberty of the press, encour
aged mon of letters, granted am amnesty to
pplitical offenders, and gave great satisfaction
for a time; But he evaded granting the liboral
Constitution which bis father, from the throne,
had promised in'lBls;' At last, when, for
the first time in Prussian history, he convoked
the States-GOneral/the Constitution which ho
submitted to them , was the laughing-stock of
Europe, so weak, vagne, and absurd was it.
In 1848, he’ was compelled to grant an
amended Constitution, which ho repeatedly
endeavored, to get officially abrogated by the
Parliament. It binds the Prussian sovereign,
who, to seenre - additional power, has endea
vorbd'td crash’the liberty of the Press, by
censorship and prosecutions..
For the last ten years, habits of intempe
rance bad so much grown upon’ the King of
Prussia, that he was eveiy where recognised
by the name , of " King Clicquot,” from the
name of ttje Champagne which formed what
the Kev. Mr. Stiggins would have called his
"particular vanity.”’ By the early part of
last yoar, he had drank his wits away. His’
brain was' softening, his intellect departing,
his' incapacity palpable.- The proper step
wodld’have .been. to cenfiue him in a lunatic
asylum, but that eternal “etiquette” which
hangs round the neck of royalty like a mill
stone;' intervened. The imbecile monarch
’was mado te sign a, document appointing his
only brother, the Prince of Prussia, as depn
ty-King; for three months.’ This deputation
has been periodically renewed—tbo poor King
latterly quite unconscious of what his scrawled
signature authorized—until nowi after a year’s
yice’-roign,. the Prince of Prussia was, only
" Vicar of the Kingdom,’’ with less power
tban ho wbuld have exercised as Regent. The
. year.will end on next Sunday, by which time
it must be dOcided whether a now Vicar shall
be'oppointedj Or whether the Prince of Prns
:sia shaU bccomo bona'fide Regent, with the
powers exercised by the King when sane.
ijThe Queen :of Prussia resists tbo appoint
ment of a Begent with fnil.rbyal powers. By
tho Consf itution, the Prince would succeed to
.the Regency, de jure, on the incapacity of
the'King; Bat the Queen has managed to.
evade allowing :tho necessary legal and medi
cal oertiflcatos of that incapacity to bo pre
pared. ’.Resides; she now. receives the full
and very large Civil List, or annual allowance
by; the State to the Sovereign, and dreads
that; as: Regent, her brother-in-law weald
claim part of it. Lastly, she is an Absolutist,
and dreads the inauguration of a liberal sys
tem of 'government by the Prince of Prussia.
The Prussian Chambers consist of two par-
ties, the Progressive and the Stand-still. The
former eido with the Prince of Prussia, who
has hitherto restrained their action.Ho doubt
they wilPnow iristal, him as Begent.
' In , that 'capacity, with full powers of sove
reignty, i there is a strong-chance that the
Prince—yielding to Expediency, as Peel did
and DsHßr is doing in England—will reign as
a liberal tnan, and asshme a high position' in
Germany asa counterpoise to the ahsolntism,
some would call it tyranny, of the Emperor
of Austrian Thus. Prussia may yet play a
great game for political ascendancy, taking
the cause of Right against Might.
Mr. Joseph Curtis, the genial proprietor of
the Orleans House, ; Chestnut street, whioh eontalns
the best known and most highly-appreolated res
taurant in the oity, has lately invented a patent
sddition to the. reqajsito furniture of the table,
Jwhioh remarkably combines elogauoe and utility.
It bears the name of « Curtis’s Sauce and Bitters
Bottle,” and consists of a metallic covering, me
chanically. spun around a 'solid mould, the exact
shape of a glass bottle, whioh it holds tightly, so
’as to present, when electrotyped, the appoarauoe
of a silver case, battle-shaped, either plain or with
flowers, or an arabesque pattern raised upon tho
sides, in gold. This combination of burnished
silver, with dead and burnished gold ornaments, is
vpry'beautiful.
, -.®# the upper part of ,tho nozile, which screws on,
(iikeihe covering of the mysterious travelling im
plOment'oalled “ ye pooket pistol,”) is attaohod a
small tube, through which sauces or bitters con
tained in the bottle, runs out with sufficient free
dom, bat into attenuated a atreem that ho who
uses it oh his foody,even for the first time, finds it
impossible to inundate the viands with tho liqnor.
At the ’ same tlmej the pipe through whioh the
liquor,descends is eosmall, that suffiolent air.to

[OorrMpoolenee of Tie Pres*.} -
Washington, Oot. 18,1858.
Governor Brown, of Mississippi, was hero a few
days ago, (I think hols in Philadelphia now,) and
publioly denounced the war on Douglas by the
powers that are. \ , "
There is trouble about; Nioaragaa again. I
hope to send yon ample foots at an early day.
The President will not baok down from his as
saults upon the unterrified Democracy. He will
take off heads whenevera ohanoe ocours.
By the way, it is rendered nearly certain that
James Gordon’ Bennett is desired os a member of
the new House—and that the creature whose ears
the President wanted in 1856, is preferred to the
poble Horace F. Clark! Who would have sup
posed this"? , Mrs. Bennett, with her interesting
family, just from Europe, would be the very queon
of fashion hero, in 'that event. At all hazards,
she is oorning; and Bennott is expeoted to play
his part as usual. •
’ It is diffioult to deplot the consternation and dis
may caused in offiolal circles here by the resalt of
your election. The ntter. rout that has taken
place was totally unexpected. The king who,
when he opened his bhokbird pie, found its five
and twenty occupants. singing melodiously, was
not more ‘taken aback than Mr. Buchanan when he
discovered that of the five-and-twenty Congress
men of his native State, but two favorable to bis
Kansas policy had been elected. The President
oould have home without a pang the loss of almost
any other State, hut to be thus rebuked and re
pudiated by the Commonwealth of whioh he was
so long “ the favorite son,” is a terrible blow, and
puts him in a very had humor. The lamentations
oyer the defeat of Glanoy Jones are really dis
tressing. It is ourrently reported that the Presi
dent busily endeavored, when the earlier reports
from Berks came in, to figure up a majority for
his distinguished favorite, but all in vain; the
figure of Schwarts would loom up. Judge Blaok
is not in his usual talkative and amiablo mood.
His mind is too muoh oooupied with State affairs.
As a salvo for Glanoy’a defeat, it is rumored that
he Is to bo appointed Minister to Austria. Will he
accept? He took care to publish to''the world
a few years since that Mr. Buchanan had warmly
recommended him as his successor at the British
Court—whioh, by the way, was the revelation of a
private letter, written by a person in a foreign
country—and why Bhould he not obtain the placo,
now that it is in Mr. Buchanan’s gift ? It is true,
the withdrawal of Mr. Dallas from England.would
be generally regretted, but public sentiment is of
,no eonsequenee to this Administration. I have
no doubt the country will think the mission to
Austria far enough beyond Jehu’s desorts, yet it
falls far below the President’s professed estimate
of them. But what will become of the nation if
Glanoy should accept this mission at onoe, and
resign his position as ohalrman of the Committee
of Ways and Means? Where oould he found a
man sufficiently inefiioiont and incompetent to he
his suooeßSor? Surely, the President cannot be
oruel enough, in the midst of the pecuniary diffi
culties of the country, to suddenly deprive ft of the
financial skill of the immortal Jehu! And besides
if Glanoy is to be thus provided for, what is to be
come of Landy, Owen Jones, Reilly, Dewart, Leidy,
Ahl, and the other viotims ?
An old Democrat is anxious to know whether it
Is in accordance with the dootrinos of the party
for the Executive to reward with honors those whom
the people reject. Is it not virtually outbidding
the power of the people, and giving their own
money as a premium to those who betray them ?
Keitt has been delivering another spceoh in
South Carolina. It breathes the warmest friend
ship for the Administration, whioh has suooeeded
in accomplishing what Old Hickory never oould do
—adopting a policy exactly suited to the tastes of
the nultifiera of that State! This Is one of the
few things in whioh Buchanan has surpassed
Jackson l Why do not his eulogists in Pennsylva
nia give him dne credit for It ? Occasional.
Lecture Season Opening.
In &• way is the growing taste for literature of
our oltisens more signally manifested than in their
popular support of lecture-board entertainments.
So woll established has this intelleotual taste
among our people become, that discriminating as
sociations hazard nothing by their preparatory
outlay in scouring the services of men of undoubt
ed ability, as by proper management the reoeipts
are searoely ever-less than the expenses incurred,
and in most eases a surplus has been realized.
When exceptions to this rule occur, they are usu
ally traceable to some defective arrangement;
either the leoturer is not popularly known, or his
past efforts do not entitle him to a front rank in
his profession as a lecturer, or the announcement
of his lecture has not had sufficient publioity given
it through the newspapers, or the prioe charged
for.admission has been disproportioned to the ooat
.involved, and benee at variance with the demo
oratio notions of onr lecture-going masses,
. This point has also been praotioally demonstra
ted, that leotures given under the ausploes of
some respeotablo organisation are muoh better
sustained than those given on the responsi
bility of a single individual. The reasons for
this are obvious. One remarkable phase of
this subject, and whioh well illustrates the libe-'
ral spirit of inquiry that obaraoterises the Ame
rican mind, Is, that it matters not what may
be the suiject of a lecture, so that the leoturer is
believed to possess sufficient ability properly to
treat it.' We have thus seen, in more than one in
stance, a large hall filled to hear a lecture upon &
subject with whioh the bulk of the audlenoe were
not only unacquainted, bat actually at a loss to
know what was really meant by the terms of the
announcement. The admirable oonrses of leotures
with whioh Philadelphia has heretofore been fa
vored have measurably been the means of school
ing those who attended them into respeotable orili
oislng competency, and, in oonsequenoe of whioh,
the day may be said to have gone by, in this com
munity, for a rigmarole of glowing rhetoric in a
lecture to take theplaoe of well-condensed thought
or feeding facts.
Of the several olaeses of literary leotures best
sustained among us, it is difficult to say whether
the palm has been awarded to the humorous—of
whioh lost season Park Benjamin and John G.
Whittier gave us the best specimens; the moral and
philosophical—as represented by those twin Go
liahs, Beeoher and Chapin; the descriptive—in
whioh Ralph Waldo Emerson holds an enviable
rank; or the purely literary—of whioh the lec
ture on *iThe Lost Arte,” last winter, by Wen
dell Phillips, afforded the finest speolmen of the
season. There are several types not included in
this oategory ; of those enumerated, however,
that represented by Beeoher and Chapin was
manifestly the most popular; though, in foot, it
was the men, rather than their style of subjeot,
that drew. In the tine of Travels, the field last
winter was left almost undisputed to Rev. Dr.
Stovens, and his fall oourse was at least twice
endorsed by a popular attendanoe. Willlts, Ouy
ler, Stockton, and several others, whose several
productions were duly noticed in this paper at
the time, were also flatteringly received, and we
may hope will figure to some extent in the pro
gramme of the ooming Benson. Mackey’s efforts
here were—os tboy deserved to he,- for reasons
already given—a dead failure. The Historic, as a
branoh, was last season, with a few trivial ex
ceptions, entirely negleoted. This was an over
sight which the coming season should not fail to
remedy, as of. all philosophy, that which has the
popular oredit of teaching by experience, is, if
properly presented, most substantially instructive
to a popular audionoo.
The first gun of the season, as per announce
ment, will be fired this (Tuesday) evening, in Ma
sloal Fund* Hall, in a new and original leotnro by
Mr. Park Benjamin, on “Sooial Life in America.”
Aooureo ofleotnres is also announced to be given,
at the seme Hall, under the auspices of the Litera

Yellow Fever—Two Dead Bodies on
board A Vessel.—The barque New World, Copt.
Ross, arrived at tho Bo Forest dock, Brooklyn,
on Saturday, from Marioaibo, with logwood. An
officer went on board to inspeot the vessoi, and
found the bodies of Captain Ross’s wifo and
daughter enoased in coffins, having died on the
passage of yellow favor. It appears that no in
spection of tbe vessel took plaee at Quarantine by
the health offioar, as tho oaptain of-the New
World bad possession of a pass to the o ity. It is
probable that Captain Ross reported “ all well,”
not mentioning anything of tbe dead bodies he
had on board his vessel. Dr. Boyd, one of the
health office rs, wos sent by the Mayor to investi
gate the ease.

[Correspondence of The Tress.]
.. N*w York, October 18,1868.
Full as are the descriptions in our oily papers of
the reception of the Hope Hose Company, of Phila
delphia, and gratifying as it must be to the mem
bers of the company, jour department
generally, it hardly does juatioe to the occasion.
It was, in truth, an ovation, excelling anything
of the kind over known in this metropolis. The
brillianoy of the toroh-light the in
spiriting musio, the orowds gathorod at every
point through which the procession moved,, and
the oonstant and vooiforo'us cheering with whioh
the Philadelphians were greeted, combined to
make it a scene that will be memorable In the'
annals of- the 1 department. But the visit of the
company has ft signifioahoe beyond the mere hos
pitalities of the hour. 1 The exhibition they pro
pose to give of the praetioal working of -a fire
engine by steam, if BuooeBsfal, Xandof its.suocess
there oan be no doubt,) Is destined to he the ini-,
tiatiye of a revolution in the fire-department of
this, and of other oities; for human thews, and
muscles have neither the power nor endurance of
maohinery and steam, and must suocumh to its
potency in fire engines, as they have in all other
motive power. To-morrow (Tuesday) a publio ex
hibition of the oapaoity of the engine will he
given, in front of .the , Merohants’ Exohange, in
presenoe of. the heads of our imaranco companies,
leading merohants, and a portion of the mnniolpal
authorities.
The movement of exhibitors at the late Crystal
Palace, and Inventors, for the organization pf a
national institute, independent of the American
Institute, progresses rapidly. A formal organiza
tion was effected on Friday evening, with Mayor
Tiemann as chairman. . Letters have been re
oeived from leading manufacturers and inventors,
in various seotions, expressing warm sympathy
and a desire to co-operate in the movement, and
thus plaoe the inventive, industrial, and manufac
turing talent of the oonntry in a position inde
pendent of the olobo corporation by whioh it has,
for the last quarter of a oontury, been trammelled
and hemmed in.
The programme of the anti-Tammany Demo
cracy is beginning to ho developed. No formal
opposition is to be made to the Tammany party
nominations, excepting in the Congressional dis
tricts where Messrs. Sickles and Purdy are run
ning,' and to some portion of the oounty ticket.
In reference to those gentlemen the “Rogulars,”
or “ Wood” organisation, will pursue suoh oourse
as they may deem proper, by way of retaliation
for the course pursued last fall by those who
were prominent in defeating Mr. Wood for the
mayoralty.
The Broadway Theatre reopens to-night under
the managementof Mr. Edward Eddy. The prices
are twenty-five eents to the parquette, and fifty
conts to the drees cirele. Julia Dean Hayne is
the first star—commencing as Pauline, in the Lady
of Lyons. The star system has not been able to
make headway thus far during the year. It re
mains to ho seen whether a theatre so far down
town as tbo Broadway oan he supported against
the Opera, Wallaok’s, Niblo’s, and Laura Keene’s.
Very doubtful, s
A vaudeville company eoinmenoo a short season
this evening, at the Metropolitan MußibHall, where
the Frenoh company perform two evenings in the
week. It oonsists of Mark Bmith and wife, Tom
Wcmyss, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Oranshaw,Mrs Seftofi,
Mrs. Duffield, Mrs. Arohbold, Mrs. Soott, and other
clever people.
On Monday next, Nixon k Kemp open the Horse
Opera at Palaoe Gardens od a greatscale.
General Paez to-day took formal leave of the
oity authorities, and the members of the Vene
zuelan Government at the same time took oeoasion
to express to the corporation thoir thanks for the
oourtesies that had been extended to the Genoral.
The Genoral was cßoorted to the Oity Hall by
Captain Morphy’s fine City Horse Guards.
The immigration at this port thus far during
the year is far less—indeed, less than half—what
it was at this time lost year. At the end of Sep
tember last the whole immigration, In 1858, was
61,323, of whom 25,028 were Germans. During
the same period last year the aggregate was
146,038, of whom 60,800 wero Germans—showing
that the tdtal Immigration of this year is only
about equal to the German immigration of last.
Lord Kapler Is quito übiquitous—one day in
Washington, next at Boston, then here, next at
Niagara, a day after.at West Point; first at the
Brevoort Houso, next at the Oiarendon, to-iay at
the Stevens House. Yesterday he was on board the
Valorous with Sir Gore Ousoly, Who has been a
sort of John Jones to him ever elnoe his arrival in
the country.
Another book, of the sensation sort, Is about to
be Issued by Stanford A Belisser. <lt professes to
oomprlse an Important oolleotton of astounding re*
velations concerning the secret associations of the
Papacy, derived from new add exclusive Roman
Oatholio authorities. Its title is “The Pope, or

Letter from Berks County*
fOorrespondence of The Press, i
Tho long agony Is over l John died hardl Tho
offioiol majority for Sohwartz nineteen—not muoh,
but enough; tbe Immortal Jehu ia laid out oold in
a county that, two years ago, gave James Bu
ohanan 0,953 majority.
Poor Glanoy did all he cou\d to aioid defeat.
He stumped the county, and ate Innumerable bad
dinners—ho who had dined with the. President!
He begged men of all parties—Whigs, Democrats,
Republicans, and Know-Nothings, personally, and
actually with tears in his eyes, to vote for him—
only this onoe more, Ho told thorn it was not he,
it was James Buohanan that wanted.it. It would
not do.
One thing must not be forgotten. The friends
of Glanoy Jones made tho issue bold, broad, di
rect, Buohanan or not Buchanan. They told the
people at every meeting that to vote for Jones was
to sustain the President—to vote for Schwarl* was
direct ooneure of Buohanan. And now over four
teen thousand votes have boon polled, and old
Demooratio Berks has given her deoiilon. What
will the poor Lecompton minions say how ?
The last effort of Jones’s friends was when tho
judges met. Por seme trifling disorepanoy, there
was an effort made, by an unscrupulous tool
named Sken&, from Hamburg, to throw out tbe
Southwest ward of Reading, whioh gave Schwarts
two hundred and thirty-six majority. But there
was too muoh honesty in the judgeß to ehoat* the
people, even to elect Glanoy. The vote was
eountod and justice done. Thus Glanoy lost.
How the oreatures of Joneß bang about the door,
hoping tbe judgeß would perpetrate this fraud!
There were others about the door, too—hard-fisted
fellows —and there is no telling what the conse
quences would have been bad the fraud been con
summated.
1 understand that Jones has said that he had no
idea of such a result. His friends bet largely on
one thousand majority, and thought it a sure
thing, expeoting, as they alleged, three thousand
majority. Of coarse some money changed hands.
All the Jones tioket, except Tones , is eleoted by
a small majority, making the complimentto him—
over the left—still greater. Pninip.

ding in Cambria .street, near Twentieth, attempted,
while laboring under delirium tremsns, to murder his,
wife by'stabbing her with a knife. The unfortunate
woman fought desperately, and in her attempts to es
cape from her Infuriate aasallantieeelved nineteen stabs
on the baok of her head, neck and body The screams
of the popr woman brought to the house a number of
the neighbors jnstin time to save her life. She was
conveyed to the residence of Dr. Gardcer in that vicin
ity, where her wonnds were properly dressed Tbe
wounds are not of a very serious character, and she will
in'*ll probability recover. ‘ The husband in his attempt
to escape from the officers, jumped from a second story
window, hut was finally captured add placed in the sta
tion-house to ayrait the result of the woman’s injuries.
Thieves Caught.— I The residents along the
North Pennsyivania Raliroad.Vori Fisher’s Lane, and
near Germantown, have recently suffered from a gang
of burglars from this city, who nightly. visited them
and carried off whatever they could conveniently se
cure . On Saturday night,' Officer Russell, of the Detec
tive force, arrested Franoia Fetter, John Shall, and
Kato Brooks,' on the charge of being the thieves, and
recovered from them a large amount of stolen goods, a
portion of which has been identified and olaimed by the
owners. ..The thieves had also in their possession three
horses, one of which it is supposed was (stolen from
Montgomery county*' The accused will have a hearing
at 10 o’clock this morning, at the Mayor’s office, where
the goods can be seen.'
Another Shooting ' Case.— Acting upon
information made before him, Lieut. Hampton, of the

17 years, on the charge' of having, on the night'of"elec

and 11 yean of age, in the knee, with a slug. It seems
that Matilda was among the lookers on at a bon-fird at
Broad and Rose streets, when Donohue fired tbe pistol.
Tbe wounded ohild told her parents that she bad fallen
and hnrt her knee, and she did net tell the truth uotil
i ho wound had become so serious that it is feared she will
not recover. The slug has not yet been extracted.
Denobue belongs to' a gang of outlaws known as the
“Lancers” He say: the pistol went oil accidentally.
The accused has been committed to answer.

C. CrAwford, discharged one of the barrels.: The
ball passed olose by nis bead, on the left, striking
the wall of the pulpit behind him. The, congre

seized and handed over to the police of the twen

told the'officers that Mr. Crawford had insulted

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Money Market.
PHIX.ADKLPHIA, October 18, 1858.
* All kinds of stocks were dull to-day, especially the
fancies, which' were'exceedingly heavy. The turn in
the market is by some attributed to the reaction conse
quent upon the rapid advance in Beading last week; It
may be .owing to the faot that a good part of the demand
for Beading came from New York, and caused ]rices
hereto rise, and that, as the shorts in that city hare
been supplied, the stock is returning to .its former po
sition in the market.' Our readers are at liberty to so
cept either ef these theories as true, or to make a bet
ter onefor themselves 1 It is a free, country. Vtry
/res, said the poor Frenchman—if yon hare
they allow you to go barefoot.

The Cincinnati Gazette takes the following notice
of a dangerous counterfeit on the Bank of Ohio:
*< Another exceedingly dangerous counterfeit on the
State Bank of Ohio has been discovered, which has tm<
donbtedly had an extensive circulation. Last week a $2O
billon the Ripley branch was suspected by atelier of
one of the banks in Third street; but. after a close com
parison, and a strict scrutiny by the most reliable
jadges, thero was a difference of opinion as to its cha
racter. The majority, however, decided that it was
gennine. Iu order to test the matter fully, Messrs.
Johnson Sc Bro. forwarded tbe bill to the cashier of tho
Ripley branch, and to day an answer was received pro
nouncing It a counterfeit, no notes of the date and num
ber of the counterfeit having been issued by the-bank
Engravers are of the opinion that tbe impressien must
have been taken, in part at least, from genuine engra
vings, so perfect is the engraving. There Is no mark
by which the counterfeit oan be distioguished from the
genuine, and as the‘ former have undoubtedly been
changed in the filling up so as to represent the seven!
branches, the oolr safe plan is torefuse all notes of the
denomination of $2O on the Btate Bank of Ohio. Tbe
counterfeit Is not a new one, and some of our bankers
are of the opinion that tbe spurious notes have been
received anapaid out by the bank themselves, for some
time, and that a large proportion of s2o*B now in cir
culation are counterfeit.”
