. 4 fWells's little report, is entitled to an average

43uLturill. If we were to say that there is
"lnot A page to call a blush upon the cheek of
,%. :innocence, we should underrate the
, modesty of
:-'' 'innocence, common sense, and every other
;sense. Any one of them having a friendly
feeling for, the -Commissioner would blush at
his ridicnlons calculation that the war of the
rebellion has. , cost the country nine thousand
millions , of, dollars. The glib manner in
,which he presents this pretty little statement
_
.makes.one think he believes it. And yet an
, average ; American mind, not so ingenious at
;figures .as Wells, can see that nine thousand
'millions, or nine million millions, mostly spent
.in the country, is not a loss, but only a diver=
sion of -money-from hand to band. The Fed-,
-eral government, the State governments, • the
cities, counties, towns and the individuals, spent
money lavishly during the war, of course, and
heavy debts were incurred. But the money
was :not all -lost to the country. It was not
sent.abroad to enrich the rivals or the enemies
of the nation. It was not paid, as Mr. Wells
.and his* free trade friends would like to have
bad it paid, foriforeign luxuries imported with=
•ont paying a toll to the government, or . for
0 , eign fabrics that . the cheap labor of Europe
w
• fluid throw upous in such quantities as to
er
. ~
Alestrey home industry, ,if there were not a
'reasonable tariff for its protection. Four years
of Free , Trade, such as is wanted forever by
Mr. Wells and his .friends, the New York Free
Trade. League, and their friends and sup
porters, the - British manufatturers and mer
chants, would do more to impoverish this
country than ten years of such a war as that
for the, suppression of the rebellion. Industry
was _lever seriously affected, in any of its de
partments, during the rebellion. But cut down
or take off the duties 'On iron, coal and other
home.products, as Mr. Wells would like to do,
and there would be a calamitous condition a
thousand times worse than that of the fanciful
Commissioner's.nine thousand millions of debt.
That kind of business would throw millions of
people out of work, and would flood the coun
try. with foreign -productions, for which hun
dreds of millions of gold would have to be sent
out of the country every year.
When he sticks to dry facts, derived from
reeords, the statements of Mr. Wells are valu
able and, to a certain de-ee, interesting.
There is nothing vicious or demoralizing in, his
inform:Larkin that nearly three millions of imini
gi-int have PaTaied in this country in fotirteen
yearn; notMn;,- - - , subversive of religion, peace or
reprata-A-:Tiv - rs, in -the table teat shows that
among these were 15,517 Chinese. The rail
way and telegraph extensions are described in
pleasant pa.g . ., that are so flattering to the
national pride,and to the individual pride of
' bloated stockholders, that we do not care to
question their exactness. Indeed there can be
' no exactness in imaginings,and those of Com
missioner Wells are so " wild above rule of
art," and even if they should not be realized a
century after his.time, they are so sure to come
true, eventually, that it is well to let them go,
as unquestioned as they are harmless. But
anuchof this unquestionable and harmless stuff
is unnecessary; just as unnecessary and as
senseless as the quotation from Gulliver's
Travels, which Mr. Wells seems proud to have
read and studied as a preparation for his duties
as "United State's Special Commissioner of the
Revenue."
The practical part of the report, arrived at
after so many flights of imagination and ex
hibitions of ilietoric, is that where essential
• modifications in the Customs Tariff are recom
mended. Mr. Wells advises, in this part, sim
ply the destruction of the business of the 'tan
ner, the iron -maker, the coal-miner, the wool
grower and woolen manufacturer, the salt,
maker, the copper-miller and copper -mane=
facturer, the lumberman, and various other
producers, whose labor is inestimably valuable
to the country. This advice is given chiefly
in the interest of foreign producers, but, very
largely in the interest of a certain section of
the country. , Leather, iron, coal, wool, salt,
copper, &c., are not produced in New England;
but they are important productions of other
parts of the Union. Mr. Wells's predilection
for the New York free-traders and for New
England, and his discrimination in their be
half, in making his fantastic report and recom
mendations, may do very well to secure capi
tal notices in the free-trade papers, which are
already breaking into an eruption of raptures.
But, after all, 114. Wells is not the Govern
.... ..ment...., .lie, is .not the, President andle is, not,
Ile Congress of the United . States. lie may
have acquired a profound knowledge of politi
cal economy in his readings of Gulliver, the
Tale of a Tub, the Arabian Nights, and other
' • workS applicable to the situation and the insti T ,
s , tutions of the United States. Rhetorically
~, and statistically, he is a very remarkable spe
s,
eimenof a public functionary., But the Pre
. nident and the Secretary of the Treasury;*and
, ' . .i the Congress of the United States are men of
practice and not of fancy; an d when they
fi .
Ltt• come to legislate for the people and their in
dustry, they will pay but little, heed to the
flights - of iniagination of Commissioner Wells.

'.,4tress has been laid, in varioum quarters, upon

throWn out that be had done so to avoid further
lentil investigations. It has also been attempted
,to fasten upon him a charge dr complicity In
manufacturing , the will,. - the' '-,discoiery.,
.of which was the signal of 'lldisspteinnecite's
relatives to start the cbarge of murclei; against;
_Dr. Schoeppe. 'So far as these injurious state
ments can be set at rest by the simple, earnest
declaration of the reverend gentleman at whom
they are aimed, they are fully disposed, of -by
his card, WhiCh we pUblish to-day. It'bears the
clear impress of truth upon its, face, and we
can hear of no evidence which challenges' its
writer's character as an honorable and' esti
mable Christian gentletnan.
Every day , strengthens . . the' proof that the
public sentiment . has been right, when it has
called for ati =eat Judglinent,' in' this re
mailable case. Facts - are being developed,
hitherto (unknown to the !comniunity, , :but
which will he presented at the proper time,
throwing much additional light both
,On the
merits of this prosecution and the mode in •
which the 'conviction of • Dr. Schoeppe WaS!'
brought, about. '
,The,instinet of the peOPle
has been right,in' this matter f . and the disci r;
terested,zeal avith whieh public opinion has;
sustained the scientificiestimpny in thaprisonT
er's behalf. speaks well forllie popidar, anxiety
that the la.ivs shall be ; Justly as well as
On sly executed. The counsel for Dr. Schoeppe
are understood- to be industriously, at,work,
preparing their arpment . fora new trial, and
the grounds upon . which the application !rests
are said to be so strong as to leave little doubt
that it will be favorably received by the'Court,
There is one strong reason why this new
trial should be granted which.; being one of
public policy and interest, rather than of ab
stract law, may not be embodied in the legal
argumentS but' ought to hive great weight. If
the Supreme' Court grants a new trial to Dr.
Schoeppe, it is morally certain that it will be
fully and fairly directed to a dispassionate dem
onstration of the whole facts of the . case. If
it results in developing any proof of the guilt of
the accused, he will be left to pay the penalty
of his crime. if it results, as seems most pro
bable, in a failure to establish any such proof,
the laws of Pennsylvania will be honored by
this fresh evidence that they protect the in
nocent as well as Finish the guilty. But if the'
Supreme Court, upon technical points of law,
should conclude not to re-open, this case, it will
fall back on the Governor with fresh embarrass
ment and difficulty. The application for the
new trial will have laid before the public the
full Statement of the grounds upon which. the
execution of this man has . been resisted;
and while the reasons for pardoning
him will be dealer mid stronger in the popular
mind, the refusal.of the, Supreme Court te in
terfere will act as a sort of practical en dorse
ment of the Governor's original action, and,
while it cannot abridge his pardoning, power,
t will only serve to complicate the position of
be Executive.
The true way out of this dilemma seems to
be by a new trial, with a change of venue, and,
without presuming to suggest . to the Supreme
Court a course, which it will adopt, if at, all,
upon its own motion and judgment, after
hearing the argument, pro and con, there is no
impropriety in expressing the hope that
Schocppe will not be hung, until mercy and
justice have both been exhansted in the fair
endeavor to reach the precise fact of his inno-
come or guilt
• THE GOTHA ALMANAC.
The Gotha Aliname for the year 1870, being
10111) year of its existence, is promptly
flurnished to the public before the first of the
year. it is a bulky little volume of over
eleven hundred pages, crammed full of infor
mation .concerning all the governments of the
earth that furnish anything like trustworthy
statistics. Each year there are several Por
traits of distinguished personages. This year
these are 'Count Bismarck; the Prince and
PrinceSs Eoyal of 'Denmark, whose marriage,
took place last summer; the Princess Louise
of England, who, if her portrait is a likeness,
is the ~ handsomest of Queen Victoria's
daughters; and last, but not least, Ulysses S.
Grant, President of the- United States. • This
is not an innovation, for. it has long been the
custom to give a portrait of each Presidentin
the volume for the year succeeding his inau
guration.
A very large portion of this valuable annual
is occupied with stuff of no interest to the
world at large. We' allude to the genealogies
of a host of so called "princely" families that
are not reigning, and that are of no more eon- ;
sequence to. the world at large than are thou
sands of decent American families. But these
,
are the chief supporters of the Gotha Almanac.
Even when they havelost thrones and domains,
they prizb above all things their recognition in
the pages of the venerable little record of legiti
macy, of race and of antiquity. So they tran
scribe from the faMily record; each year; every
birth, marriage and death; and - the, editors,
living in the quiet: little capital of Gotha, com
pile the facts and print them, without fear of
the censorship or criticism that might be severe
in more important cities. There are about
two hundred of these princely families not
sovereign, and sometimes many pages are re
quired to give the catalogue of all the liVing
epresentatives of a single flintily.
The list of recognized reigning European
sovereigns (in which are included the Pope
of me, the Sultan of Turkey and, the Em
i eror of Brazil) contains only thirty-seven in
this cati's Alnianaii. Even in this list are
Liven the names of such petty monarchs as the
Duke Anhalt, the Prince of iichwartzburg
lindolstadt, the Prince of Schaimthurg-Lippe,
Ibe Doke of Sax-Meiningen, the Prince of
Waldeck, the Princes of the two lines of
fteuss, the Prince of Monatio, whose doinitiion
is a gambling establishment on the aleiliter
cant apt; and SM,Mlif 'ethers 'whose long names
are not, worth the trouble they cost to be
spelled and put in type. Comparing this list
whim), corresponding one in the Almanac of
iss4, we find that there is t loss or ten
monarchs;' the list of that year containing
tarty-eight. Tuscany, Farina, Alodena, the,
Two Sicilies, Spain, NaSsan, Hanover, Ifesse-
Homburg, and several others once bnportant,
are qUietly dropped frOM the list, and their
. Mimes and family records are transferred to
the fast swelling . department of the Almanac
devoted to monarchs retired from business and
denoniinated • " Fundlles P riricarPs nort Sou
urailtes."
The list of sovereigns arranged according to
age is headed by the name of Pope Pins the
Ninth, who iff in his seventy-eighth year.
Omitting the tietty princes, the ages of the other
sovereigns are as follows : King William, of
Prussia, is hi his 7:)d year ; King John, of
ny, in his dlith; the Emperor Napnle on in kris
0

THE STREM4.
.
The Boardof Health has made its contracts
for cleaning the streets of ,Philadelphiai : for the
next two years. Many of the ContraetS 'go
intoew hands, and it is to be hoped that Jhe
new-brooms will sweep cleaner than the old
ones have done. There is no doubt that the
Board of' Health, desires to .get , Philadelphia
clean, and to keep it so. - What the - precise
causes of its failure up to this time are, we do
not know. The fact of
,the failure is .dismally
evident to everybody in all parts of the ' city.
It is safe to assert that there is not a .single
block of this great City Where the streets are
passably decent, while the general rule is one
of the Most disgraceful and mortit:ying filthi
ness. ' •
It. Would have a good effect, just now; if the
Board of Health would publiska statement of
the condition of the old contracts, which have
just expired. The public would be glad to
knoW whether the street-contractors have
been paid or not. None of them, so far as we
are able to learn, have earned their money. If
they have been paid, it has been by the gra
.tuitous and certainly very objectionable gene
rosity of the Board of Health. We remember
once being told, when remonstrating against
the fashion of paying street-contractors. for
keeping the streets ia. a condition of almost
impassable dirt, that these men bad a great,
deal of 'political influence, and that theyiwere
to be tenderly dealt with by the powers that
were. We also remember that we. did
not believe this at the time, and we cer
tainly do not believe it now. If a man
Who takes the public money, and does
not discharge the public duty for which he is
paid, has political influence, the man who is
not only paid but who does his work honestly
and well will have far more influence, and
should certainly have the preference upon
policy as well as upon principle The public
ought to know, distinctly, whether the old con
tractors have been or are to be paid or not.
The people can judge, by the use of their own
eyes, how far the money has been earned.
We have no rery sanguine hope that the
new contractors will do any better than the
old ones. Past experience is not encouraging,
and unless there is some great revolution either
in the system or in the administration of it,
the Board of Health experiment' will have to
be confessed a failure.
THE ACADEMY t OF FINEARTS MOVES.
E pvr I,l4tore. We scarcely expected a
motion on the part of this ancient institution,
Ibut a motion was made,yesterday afternoon, at
a speCial nieeting,—a motion to move. l'resi 7 .
dent Caleb Cope, :descending from his Omir for
the purpose, represented to the meeting, 'at
which - Mr. Alexander .1. Derbyshire presided
for the time being, that the present building
at 1025 Chestnut street, with its on
tents, is valued at $200,000, while the
capital stock of the Association is but
$25,000. ft is evident that stock thus secured
will bear watering, and bear it well. Other
incumbrances on ihe ground and property
'anoint to , $l,OOO, making the paltry total of
thirty-two hundred dollars as a clog to the
Academy's possessions. The groun I could
have been sold - last summer for '5135,030, but
the Directors wanted another five thousand.
The valuables,of the Association are thus esti
timated :
Lot and building...
Works of art....
Cash in treasury
Against - this is the irredeemable' ground-rent
of $5,333, which $7,000 would probably pay
oft Add this to the stock, $2 1 5;000, and we get
the total' incunibrance above'allUded to. The
Academy's earnings have been 'dwindling year
by year, the exhibition of last spring having
yielded but $2,800, • i ,l.gainat ;$3,000 of 'the
spring previous. Still the receipts for a: year
back ainount to the considerable sum of $15,-
000, summer and winter, which would be suf
ficient to pay the interest on the mortgage on
any new site that May be purchased.
The Academy has heretofore been relying
on the, casual favors of prothenaders and OtititrY
visitors for these receipts. 'JCR should retrieve

Senator Wilson, yesterday, offered a resolu
tion instructing the Military Committee to con
sider the expediency of adding two to the num
ber of lieutenant -generals and reducing the
major-generals from five to three. The object"
of this proposition is to pay a fitting compli
ment to Generals Meade and Thomas, , whose
distinguished services during the /Rebellion
certainly place them on a par with the present
distinguished Lieutenant-General, ', , Cavalry
Sheridan." By reducing the'number of major
generals, there would be. no Material increase'
of expense by this change of rank, while the
country would have, the opportunity to do full
'list ice to the heroes of Gettysburg and Nashville.
_ . .
It can deiogate nothing :from the honors
which Pre'sident Grant so generously and yet
so justly heaped upon the gallant ' Sheridan, to
it this proposed honor to Generals Meade and
Thomas. The patriotic people of the United
States : have no wish to stint their rewards to
those who. so ably led the. hosts of the Union
to victory in the days of the countrf's worst
trials. Gettysburg,, SPottsylvania, the Wilder.
ness, Petersburg and Appomattox, at the East,
and Chickamauga, Franklin and Nashville, at
the West, are great events of American history
not to be forgotten, and the American people
will, be thankful to Senator Wilson for his
suggestiOn of this new step towards paying off
a moiety of a most sacred public debt.

A Poor LeglolnOve Joke.
(By IfitisOn's News AsOncY.l.
NANIIVII.I.I3, Dec. 22.—The resolution intro
duced in the House a few weeks since, In re
lation to the sale of General Thomas's portrait,
has created such a stir throughont the country,
based on erroneous data, that the real facts
of the ease ought to be known, A. resolution
was introduced providing for baying theper
trait of General Jackson placed iu the capitol.
This was opposed from an economical stand
point, and . ..the resolution was about being
withdrawn, when Mr. Hinkle offered an
amendment providing for the sale of the por
,traits' of Brownlow and General Thomas.
Thia 'was intended by its author as a rebuke to
the extravagance manifested at a time when
the. State-was groaning under debt and the
common schools were being abolished.
The amendment was offered, as Mr.
Hinkle explained, as a sort of
burlesque, with• not the slightest idea of its
being acted on. The author of the 'amend
ment was an officer in the Federal army under
General Thomas, and has the -highest rover
cue() and regard . for his .old chief. Ho ex
hi bated poor taste in perpetrating • his little
joke, a fact he afterwards discovered when
he found the Radicals making political capital
out of his ' unintentional blunder. The
Speaker of the House and Mr. Hinkle have
both written to General Thomas, explaining
the circumstance. Out of sixty-seven mem
bers present only eight voted for the amend
ment, and four of these were ex-Federal offi
cers. They nearly all explained their votes
by saying they were acting solely in the in
f e.
terest oconomy, and not out of disrespect
to Brownlow and Thomas. These 'are the
facts in the case, as your correspondent was
present in the House from .the time the reso
lution was introduced until it was disposed of.

The government bond market was active and strong,
in sympathy with tha advance in gold, and tinders* large
home investment demand, doubtless springing from the
desire of rich men, capitalists and corporations, td con
vert their funds into governtnents, by the holding of
which on the 31st Inst., they may evade tbe imposition of
titate• and lora! tavatiOn. It may be remembered that
when t boraid on thisclass of securities WWI made a month
ago an expose of the designs of the speculators was given
in this column. This plan td break the market prepa
ratory to laying in bonds for carrying over the end of
the year has been eminently successful. They have rold
their former bonds at a tine profit. and are now buying
them back ten to twelve per cent. lower. .

FROM WASHINGTON
THE',`SUPREME JUDGESHIP
'J erg . ' UoaoloB NOMINATION
The Failure Of the Senate to Confirm Rim
A Sensation in Political Circles
Absurd Rumors Afloat
The Debate in the Executive Session
air. Hoar In the Senate.
(Special "Despatch to the Phila. Evening 13n1lettn.l
WasnixoTost, Dee, 23.—T0 say that the
action of the Senate yesterday, on the non&
nation of Attorney-General Bear. for . the
.
Siiiireine R ;
ehab h'is Prodneed a sensation ,in
political circles does not fully describe the
feeling and situation , here this morning. The
',topic is eagerly discussed by politicians of
both.. parties, and many rumors are afloat,
' which,if the half were true,a riipthre between
'the Senate and President, of the most Bellows
nature, is inevitable. •
Of course, speculation is rife as to What
course the President will pursue, and conflict..
ing statements abound. The preVailing
opinion' is that Mr. Hoar will at once tender
his resignation as Attorney-General and re s
tire from the Cabinet. A prominent Senator,
who was a 'strong supporter of Mr., Roar's
confirmation in the Senate, and who had an
interview with him last night, after the 'ad
journment of that body, informs me that .lire
Hoar considers the action of the Senate as a
reflection upon his official conduct, and an
expression of want of confidence M. his
ability to administer the duties Of ihe Attor
ney:General's office in a manner satisfactory
to the Republican party, and hence be will
insist upon retiring from the Cabirntt.
A report is in circulation, which seems to
be pretty well, authenticaied, that the PresiL
dent will not accept Mr. Roar's resignation
or withdraw his name from the Senate as Ae
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court, but will
make a square issue with the Senate, and com
pel that branch of Congress to place itself
upon record by either rejecting outright or
confirming the appointment. This course,
however, will not meet with the approval of
Judge Hoar's -friends, who- maintain that he
ought not to allow the President to keep his
name in the Senate when it appears that there
is no chance whatever of his being confirmed.
It appears that the opposition in the Senate,
yesterday, was led by Conkling, Edmunds, of
Vermont ; Morrill, of Maine, and. Matt Car
penter. The debate was long, and at times
conducted with great spirit, so much so as to
create some ill-feeling between Senators them
selves. The three prominent points urged
against confirming .Hoar were: First, the great
injustice it wenn be doing Southern States by
placing Lim •on the bench to pre
side over their circuit, when there are
fully one hundred lawyers in those States,the
equal it'not superiore of Roar in legal attain
ments, from whom, to select. Second, his
want ef knowledge of local laws and judicial
unthiniliarity with the manner of practice and
procedure in the Southern Courts. Third,
that in making appointments, he has totally
ignored the Southern States and permitted
himself to be controlled,. great
measure, in making all other appointments,.
by Wm. M. Everts, who is hostile to the prin
ciples of the Republican parts. These, in
brief, are the principal points urged against
Mr. Hoar, although one Senator gave, as his
reason for opposing him, the rough and
brusque manner with which he hail been re
ceived at the Attorney-General's office, when
calling on official business.
During the course of the debate. Senators
Conkling and Carpenter made a violent attack
upon the New England States, charging that
they not only pushed forward and tried to
control alt leading appointments, but sought
to dictate the policy of the Government itself.
This caused some commotion among New
England Senators, and Sunnier, Wilson and !
Patterson responded wtth promptne.ss and
spirit, defending New England from what
they styled unjust charges caused by sectional
jealousy. • 1 ,
The debate lasted over four hours, and it
appearing upon a canvass of the Senate by
Boar's friends, that he would be rejected by
eleven votes, if a final vote was taken, they
agreed to lay his name upon the table and to
• have it withdrawn. Boar's opponents tried
to get his friends to agree not to call up his
name again, but this they would not do, say
ing they were not authorized to bind Mr,
Hoar to any particular Course.
Mr. Warner, of Alabama, was the only
Southern Senator who sustained Mr. Hoar,
the remainder voting in a body against him, I
together with a majority of the Western
Senators, who appeared to be guided mainly
by the report of the Judiciary Committee,
1
vilio,with the exception of Mr. Trumbull,
unanimously reported. Mr. Boar's name back
to the Senate with the recommendation that
he be not confirmed.
From Washington.

The ConaMittce of Ways and Means have

annual session of Congress; a.great part of the
time from May until December, in holding
meetings and conducting their investigations'
at New York, , Philadelphia, Boston,
Washington, Chicago,
San Francisco, Port

final settlenient of their accounts - that the
whole amount drawn from the contingent
funds and for which they, have tiled vouchers: ,
covering all their expenses, including three of
their clerks, stenographer and messenger, is
55,717. only, instead,of:Aln; alleged amount, of

THE HOWARD, BOSTON. BANK AFT
FAIR. •
.
How, Moneyed Institutions are Con..
• &meted.
' ' f Yrom the toeton Advertiser of Di;C.
Mr. Ransom and his assistants have coin
pleted the examination of the accounts' 'orthe
Howard National liank,• and find that there
is a discrepancy between the books ;of the
bank and the actual amount•of cash, of VW,-
.067. The manner in which the deficiency
occurred is still a mystery, but there appears
.to be no doubt that the bank has actually, lost
.the amount of money above mentioned;' but
•
how, .when and through whose means is
still to •be ascertained.. Mr. Ran
' son; and Mr. Demmon, the President of
the bank, had a long interview Mr
• Mackintosh, the book.-keeper, at his residence
a few evenings since. The • book-keeper de
nies all knowledge as to, where, when or how
the deficit occurred and states that he never
. has taken a 'cent of the money or aided any
one else to. A guilty man might easily say as
much, yet his honesty of purpose being, still
undoubted by those who know him, his
statements are believed to be true, even
although, it appears to be difficult to un
derstand why he should have pursued the
course be has. In the regular course of
his duties he had nothing to do with handling
the - funds of the bank. He acknowledges
having•known of the discrepancy between the
-books and the actual cash in the bank for
about six years, and his wife has known it
about five years. At first he thought it might
prove to be in a New York account which had
not been verified, but time passed on without
his being able to find the error, and dreading
to expose the condition of his beaks' to the
bank officers, he has covered the matter up
day after day and year after year in the indi
vidual depositors' or other accounts, hoping
to discover at last where the trouble wa.s.
One or two small errors were found
by Mr. Ransom's examination, show
ing rather defective book-keeping,
but nothing to indicate designed error. With
this examination Mr. Ransom's labor in the,
'affair ends, but the directors of thehank, who
are men of high character, - are punning the
investigation with the determination of as
certaining where and how the irregularity
began. The bookkeeper has beep connected
with the bank about fifteen years, and the
examination will probably have to g.o,over
accounts of that long period and perhaps be
zarried still further. The bank capital
is all right, and there is still a 9111"-
plus of over 550,000 over the amount
. which has so my.lsterionsly dropped out. Some
surprise having been expressed that, although
this discrepancy in the accounts of the bank
has existed for four or five years it had not
been discovered in previous examination.s,
it is proper to state that until this year the ex
aminer has had no authority to verify the
accounts of depositors, knowing which the
bookkeeper was enabled to cover up in this ac
count the amount of the deficiency. This
shows the advantages of the new system of
examinations, and as it is ' r the utmost im
portance • to stockholders and all concerned.
that all irregularities should be discovered as
early . as possible any means taken by the
examiner to insure the correctness of accounts
should receive the active co-operation of bank
officers.

A MassathusettN Rau In 'a Quicksand
at the Bottom era We11...-Whe Effort*
to. Release 111 m.
[from the Doeton Journal of . Dec. =.)
A singular accident, and . one that caused
the greatest excitement in - the quiet town of
Winchester, oeturred on Monday. A man
named Wing. - has been employed a few days
past in repairing or rebuilding a well upon
the -premises 01 Mr. Cameron. Monday he
was a; work about- -thirty . . feet below
the surface, •at the bottom of the well,
laying brick, with' which the well was
to be built. He is a man weighing over 200
pounds of large frame. Ho was standinz in
the water and.sand at the bottom, and in
' sensiblpto himself ; gradually sank until he
discovered that his feet and legs, nearly to the
knees, were embedded in a quicksand. He
made repeated attempts to move, but found
that be was stuck fast. Those at work at the
mouth of 'the well, wore informed of the fact,
and the rope was fastened about him and an
attempt made to pull him out by the - aid of
the windlass at the top. They were
unable • to. move 'him at all, and
the pain to him was so acute that they were
Compelled to desist. Ropes were then arranged
so that he should not sink any 'deeper, and at
tempts were made to dig him out. The well ue
ing small and Mr.
_Wing very large, no one
could - get inside the brick work to assist him,
and he has been 'compelled to do all the
digging :himself with pails or cups, pass
ing them as he tilled them to some
one above. The sand constantly tilled in as
he dug it out, and in this condition he
remained all the night. Refreshments and
stimulants were sent down to him; and be was
aliVe and in as good spirits next morning as a
man could be expected to be under such cir
cumstances. A colored man worked in the
well eight hours Monday night, assisting the
unfortunate man to extricate himself. At
about three Welock the bre bells of the town
were rung, and. in that way a relief was
obtained for the men who had been,at work
and on watch at the well during the night.
With daylight the men renewed their efforts
with vigor, occasionally pausing to speak an
encouraging word to the poor victim. The
first train to Boston bore a gentleman in quest
of some prafe.ssional miners, who might possi
bly suggest some quick method of release. On
their arrival at the scene of operation. these
be
immediately ordered some piles to
be driven about him, in order that the adhe
sive and contracting properties of
the sediment might meet with some
resistance. This was partly accom
plished, when it was found . that .one leg of
Mr. Wing was getting loose, and after sonic
boring with long augurs, and a constant
pulling upward of the entire body by ineaiis
of the windlass above the limb was cleared,
amid much cheering from the crowd who sur
rounded the well at the imminent risk not
only of meeting a fate similar to that of the
man whom they were endeavoring to rescue,
but also of breaking their necks. This
was at 11 . o'clock. The wood
driven into the clay so relieved the
pressure upon Mr. Wing's body that one hour
and a half later he was pulled up and placed ,
on terra firma, though in a very exhausted
Condition. He was instantly conveyed to Mr.,
Cameron's house, and • Dr. Windsor and Mr.
Cameron endeavored to restore the henumbed
limbs. Fortunately, the well water, though
intensely cold, had 'not the slightest par
ticle of frost in it, else very serious
consequences would have followed even
a short confinement. He is now doing
well, and the physicians apprehend no
serious injury from his incarceration of
twenty-one and a half hours. The citizens
exerted themselves to the utmost to rescue
Mr. Wing, and every fresh idea brought for
ward during the weary work found plenty of
bands-readyßilling to take hold. The brick
work around the bottom of the well and also
the curbing were torn to pieces In the frantic
endeavors of the"workrnen to save the life of
the unfortunate man.
