The American Bible Union is in session now in New York, for revising the Biblo. The Court of AppoalB has reversed the decision of the lower courts in the Wettfield cases, in which the plaintiffs wore awarded damages for wounds received by tho ex plosion of that steamboat two years ago. The Domocratio State Convention which was hold in Utica, N. Y., last week, wont for the " Salary Grabbers," rather rough. A resolution was passed unanimously ex cluding from the State Democratic Com mittee any man who voted for or received back pay in Congress. A visit to different savings banks in N. Y. last week, shows that all foars on the part of depositors havo vanished, and largo numbers who drew out money the previous week have returned it. There are about $13,000,000 in greenbneks in the -vaults, which, when all signs of any run are passed, will be distributed through othor channels. J. A. Stephens, cashier of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company, left his office, in that city, early Monday morning the 29th ult., and has not Bince been seen. Previous to leaving the office ho locked the inside door of the safe. It being necessary to obtain some papers from the safe, the lock was picked and a package containing $0500 in currency was found to have disap peared. It is supposed Stephens, took the package. , It is said that in tho new counterfeit five hundred dollar Treasury notes the Goddess of Liberty has been ' honored by the engraver with six toes on the foot which is most conspicuous. An expert writes to the Washington Sun that this is an old dodge of the counterfeiters, and that the newspapers, in publishing such defects as these, are doing the rascals the vory favor which they most desire. They purposely omit something or add some thing which can be easily detected, and strike off a few notes, which are put in circulation, with tho intention that they shall be discovered and minutely described in the counterfeit detectors and newspa- ' pers. ' As soon as the description is pretty thoroughly made publio the defect in the plate has been remedied and the market " Hooded with the worthless notes of which there is no published description. ' The assertion so frequently made, "that the volume of currency is too large for the wauts of the country," has been proven false during the financial troubles of the past two weeks. ' Scarcity, of currency was the cause of the whole panic, and the impossibility of asy legal enactment regu lating the amount of money required for the business of the community was shown by tho action of the banks in the large cities. Finding they could not get curren cy to pay checks, they adopted the plan of issuing loan certificates, paying demands with cashiers, checks or certifying the checks of thoir customers. The result of this was to increase the circulating medl nm of the country, to the amount of many millions of dollars, as these certificate took the place of so much currency. Had the government tho authority to have issued legal tenders, in exchange for United States bonds, with power to call them in again when the needs of the com munity no longer required their use, the panio would have been over in one days time. As a proof of this we need only to state that the Union Trust Company of New York, took a million dollars In six per cent, bonds to the Assistant Treasurer and sought to obtain currency in exchange for them, offering to .take a price below the lowest bid that might be roado, the offer was refused ; and the Company, unable to obtain cash to meet the demands of deposi tors, stopped payment, carrying confusion, dismay and distress into many circles of . the community, and precipitating unhappy events on other institutions. t3T W. I. Nelville, a young druggist, was Bhot and instantly killed iu Cincinnati by his landlord, Dennis Carey, during a quarrel about tome goods. .... 'tw TerriOo Storm In the South. A terrible cyclone has Swept over a long traot of country in the west of Florida and in Georgia, being the most destructive ever known in that region. The damage done will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. A large number of houses have been dostroyed, and property of almost every description" has been oarriod from its foundation, and wrecked ' in the general tempest. Tallahasse and vicinity have been almost wrecked. Many houses there have been blown down. The cotton crop has been ruined. The loss in that locality is esti mated at $120,000. St. Marks has been inundated, and the place swept completely away. The people are houseless, and in need of aid. Apalachicola is partially wrecked, damage $140,000. Cedar Keys is inundated and all communication cut off. Jefferson and other Florida couuties have also suffered greatly. The loss of Thompsonville, Ga., is $200 000. The violence of the tornado was un paralleled. . So far as known the damage has yet only been partally ascertained, and it is feared that a fow days time will reveal more painfully the full effects of its force in the districts through which it passed. t3T Representative Willard,of Vermont, wants the honors distributed where they belong. And in the matter of raising the salaries of Congressmen and President, he gives most of the honor to tho latter. The President wanted his salary Taised, and said so explicitly before Congress did any thing about it. But Congressmen had no idea of doubling the pay of the President without adding anything to their own meagre compensation, especially while the expenses of carrying on the White House are paid out of the Treasury to the tune of some $77,000 a year. Mr. Willard don't see why the members of Congress should be blamed for raising their salary from $5, 000 to $7,000, while they have thoir own house rent, fuel, gas, and other things to pay for, when the President, whose house is furnished and provided for by tho Gov ernment, has $25,000 a year added to his salary at his own urgent request, and is passed over iu silenco. A Streak of Fortune. The Newark Courier says : About two weoks ago a "personal" in a N. Y. paper, signed by a lawyer of California, asked for information of a certain Dr. Chas. F. Dra per, who in 1870 had attended a sick Frenchman en route for California. It was intimated that a large inheritance awaited the Doctor. Dr Chas. F. Draper, . tho druggist at the corner of Bank and Wash ington streets, chanced to see the personal, and as about two years ago ho had given his professional services to a Frenchman, he was not slow in writing to California in response to the " personal." The other morning he received a letter from the lawyer announcing that the bulk of a large fortune had been bequeathed to him by the said gentleman of Franco, and requested him to come to California. About $250,000 iu gold is said to bo tho Doctor's portion. lie is preparing to de part at once for the Golden State. The Farmer's Movement. A dispatch from Chicago says that a very large meeting of the farmers of Iroquois, co., Illinois, was held at Gilham a few days ago. Resolutions were adopted by the meeting renouncing all formor political affiliations, rebuking class legislation, favoring a rev enue tariff', calling for the abolition of the national banking systom, and for the as sessment of railroad property for taxation at its national value. They pledged them selves never to vote for any man who voted for the back salary or accepted any back pay, and stigmatized the action of the President in signing a bill that put $100- 000 in his own pocket as an exhibition of morbid avarice unparalleled in American history. A Defalcation of $40,000. Boston, September 20. The national bauk examiner has discovered a defalca tion in the Hinghara national bank of $40,000, and has closed that institution, The failure of this bank is in no wise con nected with the panio. It is solely from the defalcation of Mr. Lovett, tho cashier, who has appropriated more than $40,000 of the bank's money for speculative purposes, Under ordinary circumstances they think they could get re-discounts and proceed with their business, but at this time that is an impossibility. Ukdeb the Constitution as amended by the convention the number of the members in the House is to be doubled. The ratio of representation is to be obtained by .dividing the population of the State by two hun dred, but every county is to be allotted at least ono member. All counties having over one hundred thousand inhabitants are to elect by tho district. tW Report bos it that a reduotion of ton per cent, in the wages of the employes of all iron works in the State will take place in a few days. The recent decline in the price of iron coupled with the stringency of the money market is given as the cause for the step. 55" The tobacoo crop now being secured will be the best that has been raised in Yirglnla for years.

' 8TiQ puddlers of the Columbia steel and iron company have ceased work on the ground of officious interference on the part of thoir employers.

If good for nothing, she is not worth getting jealous for ; if she be a true woman, she will give you no cause for jealousy. A man is a brute to be jeal ous of a good woman a fool to be jealous of a worthless one but he is a double fool to cut his throat for either.
