Hew Mr. KMUe Did IU i'ffleldent Itlddle, of the Pcnn bank at Pittsburg, explains the smash of that in atltutlen by saying that It lest a hundred thousand dollars or se of its money several years age, when he was 111 and unable te attend te its affairs, through bad leans made, and that when he found out hew it was, he concluded that the best thing he could de would be te uce the bank's remaining money te speculate for a rise In oil, and make geed for it in this way a less that it could net make geed in the regular business. Sir. Kid dle says he formed a syndlcate te ad vance the prlce of oil, and that the bank directors knew of it, and went into it themselves, for their own profit, but that all hlsewn operations were intended for the bank's profit ; and be thinks he cannot be blamed, his intentions being geed, because he failed in hl3 object and lest all his own property in the under taking. Mr. Itlddle evidently thinks he is worthy of sympathy ; nnd he seekB still further te provoke it by charging upon his fellow directors in the bank thatthey overdrew their accounts and sold out the oil tuny had premised te keep, nnd generally failed te help him in his operations for the bank's relief. Ne doubt Mr. Riddle sincerely believes that he is a much abused man by fortune and his fellow meu ; nnd itute probably he is entitled te our sj inpathy; just ns is every unfortunate person who proves te be incapable of discharging successful!) the duties with he is charged. Mr. Itlddle evidently was net cut out by nature for a bunk president of the or thodox type, who is expected te act uien the inflexible rule that it is his busiuess te borrow money without interest and lend It with interest, upon sufficient security; nnd beyond tub te have no ether business whatever. The experience of ages has demonstrated that there Is no business se profitable as that which the bank president does when he does it under this stringent W'strlctien. What can better recommend itself te the money-maker's eye than the prospect of compounding interest for his own benefit en ether people's money V Mr. ltiddle was seduced into thinking that booming oil was a better business; and seme New Yerk bank ' presidents have been similarly overcome by aweet dreams et rising stocks ; but they have all ceme te grief when oil and stocks descended. The ownership et bank stocks would be an unmixed Jey forever it bank presidents would but abide by the teach - ings of experience and bank clerks would never forget their Sunday-school les sons. But while presidents speculate and tellers steal, as it seems te be human nature te de, the ownership of bank shares cannot be an undiluted pleasure. It involves, tee, nn insurance of a moral hazard which does net recommend itself te the prudent soul who likes te knew what he ha3 when he has it. Tne Penn bank, of Pittsburg, bad seme of its best business men in its directory. Its former president was James II. Hepkins, who retired when he was sent te Cen cress ; but was still one of its directors. Under bis direction the bank muse have been properly managed, as he is all that a bank president should be in Intelligence, pru pru dence nnd honesty. The history of these late bank houses shows, however, that bank directors de net direct. They knew nothing of any crookedness there may be, it being entirely in the power of the elllcers te deceive them it they desire te de se. Being engaged In ether business, it is necessary for them, te rely upon the statements of the president, who lias tin bank especially in ids charge. It docs net seem practicable te give te the stockholders any b?tter secuiity than they new have against the moral hazud of their business Tliey must rely upon the knowledge thy posses of the com potency aud integrity of their elllcers His Characteristic Methods. It is no Just ere isien for surprise that the managers of Blaine's campaign in Chicago should take such a notoriously J corrupt scalawag as Powell Clayten for president of the convention, and even have premised him a cabinet office 'n secure the votes which he can control, and which are necessary te Blaine's success. They would have done the Baine for Djrsey, or Ivdlugg had either et them been there m Clay toa'dsltuatlen. Ner is there any reason for wonder that Blaine's friends are re ported te be operating with cash, right aud left, among the commercial dele gates from the Seuth. An adept In pe litlctl intrigue himself, and hardened te every cert of rascality and corruption, Ulaine employs the most reckless and unscrupulous agents, and they are run ning his canvass in Chicago with full authority, There la no concealment of this, and there would be no possibility of hiding it it there was even a dispest Hen te de se. It remains te be seen wliat a nomination will be worth, secured by such means. Fer some reason an element In Penn sylvania polities which professss lude pendeuceaudade8lrefer reform rallies te the Blaine stand. Some of its inem beiB are deceived, seme decoive them selves, and most of tliem nre entirely willing te beceme part of and partners In as corrupt and tyrannical u political dynasty as that which they profess te aim te upset. Shouting for civil service, they may contein plate the spectaele et their candidate emptying the New Yerk custom house this week te recruit therefrem the ranks of his heelers-at Chicago. "It was be Hevcd," a correspondent says, in view of the federal law prohibiting it, "that the custom house would stay at home and attend te its business, but when the collector decided te go, perhaps it is net surprising thutee many of his associates and subordinates should have followed 1.1. .v... t 1 ii. rt . t ma cAuwuJie. ier me nret time en record, however, the curious spectucle Is presented of a New Yerk collector going te tne national convention In open hes tlllty te the administration under which he holds his office." It Robertsen, whom Oarfleld appointed, were at Chicago helping Arthur, what n wall would go up from tl-e sniveling hypocrites J TliO HUte Meney. The monthly report of the statetrcas. urcr shows that he has en hand, de posited in the banks which find favor with him Including the broken Penn bank, of Pittsburg ever ene million, six hundred thousand dellnrs, In spile of the law, which prescribes that when this balance exceeds half a million the sur 1 plus is te be turned ever into the sinking fund, where, by the previsions of the Humes net, it cau be invested in Inter est bearing government or state bends. Why no pretense is made of obeying or enforcing this law is one of the things we have neverbeen nble te And out. If tliere are in the general fund eleven hundred thousand dollars belonging te the sinking fund, ns this treasurer's statement indicates, why de net the sinking fund commissioners call for It and compel its transfer ? It is cislly understood why the state treasurer does net turn It ever. He has It in banks that he wants te accommodate. lie has, for instance, S1S0.000 of it in the Peeples' bank of Philadelphia, the capital of which is only $100,000; he has $103 000 of It in the Unlontewn bank, Payette county, of which the capital Is probably no mere. Recent experience has shown that such heavy depes ts in weak banks ure risky. The risk is net alene that of the treasurer and his bandsmen; the state's security, we bellow is only 300, 000 ball for about two millions et money. Tin: Heading railroad company has gene Inte the bauds of receivers for the simple reason that it cjuld net earn the money it needed for its current pay ments and could net borrow it. It has never been able te earn the money it needed in the first half of the year, and lias borrowed it. Tills time, however, it could net borrow because of the shock given te credit by the collapse of banks and shrinkage of railroads. When numey in grt.it sums cau hardly be borrowed en government bends it was hopeless for the Ueading railroad te undertake te raise the large stuns it required for present use upon the security it had te offer Yet its assets are mere than enough fer its liabilities, and its stockholders have but te held their property patiently te receive full dividends upon it Tnere i3 no water in their property only coal ; aud no one who appreciates the value of the iuimeuse anthracite deposits con trolled by the Heading can have any doubt et the intrinsic value of its stock. I Politic makes strange bed fellows I Indeed. A dispatch from Chicago says, I William Walter Phelps, in a red necktie 1 dined with ex Senatev and Mrs. Themas C. Piatt, In the Grand Pacific yesterday. Mr. Piatt is out there lobbying against Arthur because he would net turn every half-breed out. Mr. Phelps dine, anl consults witli him simply because he is tcrviceable in New Yerk te beat Arthur at d help Blaine. It has net been long since Phelps' friends set up the step hdder aud transom job en Piatt te defeat his return te the Senate. He must be of a terglviug disposition, or he likes his waliiw. Mit. Bi.ai.nk proposes te go te the White Heuse by a Star Ileute.

ELAINE'S BOOM. maCHLlUAN NATIONAL, l)ONVF.TION The Mltuttleu In (Jhlcnge tlUIne beenret tt'6 OrcunlxsUen Umh, Cerrni lien unit I.nMiti l'reiulies. The Blaiue tnen had the boom all te tlicniKelvcA from olevon o'elook Sunday night until the eamp tires were put out in the i! mall morning hours for rest. The battle openod next morning with increased conildcueo ntneug the Blaiue men aud with dospernte dotermiuntiou amuiig the Arthur leaders. They had made exhaust exhaust ive efforts, after the panic started, te repair the weak peluta and steady the wobblers, and they tenened the effort with masterly onergy aud skill. They appcaled te the Southern nien te resent, the open sale of Clayten and his at tempted sale of ethers. But it was evl deut in many eases that instead of rcsont rcsent lug the alleged sale they wcre pnte will ing te take their share of the hair of the deg thac had bitten Clayten. Iu short, the battle te held the Southern line ter ArthurODd te break it for Blaiue became mainly a test of commercial resources nud skill, and the auction was yesterday iu progress with desperate vigor all the day nud evening. The Blalne men romembeicd that Blaine was defeated in 1870 by the money aud plunder that held the Southern adventurers ncalust him. They tometn temetn tometn berod that Blaiue was beaten by like methods iu 1930, and they deeided that if cash and lavish premises of anything or everything te anybody or everybody can wiu this light, they will win it. They are aimply delug what must be doue te control a bind of icekless advoututers who con trel the choice of a presidential caudiilate, aud they have nel down off their stilts te meet the dr mauds of the market. They de net need vy many, and they will get them unless t'i3 opposition bidders over ever siz j them en the hst call before the knock dewu. The dofectiea in the southwest demora lized the Arthur forces e that their caudidate was seen admitted te be beaten and they were ready te acet-pt either K 1 mueils, Sherman, I.ean, Harmen, (Sresh am or Lincoln, or almost anybody else in fact, te assure the defeat of Blame. A cautious mitvcruent was made te unite the tield ou Harrison, but it has net as et been succcsful. The obstacle te tbe con ceutraiieu of the lie Id against Blaiue is the fact that Blaiue is the second cboiea of m toy et the Hdmuuds, Harrison, Sherman and Lei'an meu nnd it uew seems impreb able that a majority eau be combined agaiust Blaine, unless thore shall be a sudden landslide te Liuceln, who is the ilrst choice of three-fourths of the delegates for the second place and the second choice of many for first place en the ticket. The Blaine meu fully understand their oppor tunity and their peril. They have Arthur beaten and must fortify thcmselves at every point te repulse the inevitable aud doperate aisault the defeated Arthur column will ruake te defeat Blaine and make the two chief gladiators fall side by side, each fatally smitten by the ether. A struggle (or delay is n w likely te bj the policy of the Arthur aud ether leaders of the field aud if thev ou tlUt oil a I ballet until Thursday the chances will 'be against uiame. ine leaders opposing Blaine are able, earnest and desperate and he must win ou his tloed tide or suffer another self indicted defeat. Uuyten ter temporary Ohtl'umn. The soleotlou of Powell Clayten for temporary chairman of the convention, which was made by the uatienal commit tee was a Keneral surprise. It was a set up by Blaine people, aud was devised as a notice te ether S'lUthern delegates that theie are rewards iu store for these who want te tbp from Arthur te Blaine. In the history of the Hepublicau party no sucu disreputable person has been called te preside ever a convention. It is casier new ler people tj bohevo the story that has been current for two day, that the Blaine people had premised Clayten a cabinet position.

The notable emission from Blaine's book, and from L.indis' biography, of Blaine's famous speech en Ceukliug, nud the events of the present week have created a demand for the phillippie.
