of the honor for tlie complete and al
most perfect militia system of the

General Jan.es W. Lutta, whose

The gentlemen elected to the di

Borough are already talking over
their coming duties. Under the Act
of May 8th, 1852, they can form a tem

and despoiled things generally. It
may be well under certain circum

allow the people of the immediate

should be exercised.

The inauguration ceremonies have
passed off w itiiout u jar and w ithout
aq accident. As a spectacle they were
more than usually brilliant, thou
simple enough when tlie maguitude
of Friday's transfer of power and re
sponsibility is considered. The mest
significant features of tlie ceremonial
were not, however, those of pictur
csque effects. The moral suggest! ve
il ess of the elevation of tlie Presidency
of the United States of a man who has
fought his way up from poverty and
obscurity was heightened by tlie
thoroughly democratic character of
the crowd who witnessed his inaugu
ration, and by the equally humble
origin of many Senatrs and Repre
peu tat Ives who occupied prominent
places near the new President. In
the crowd were former slaves Jostling
men who had formerly owned human
battels; leading the procession from
the Senate Chamber was a man who
had writhered under the lash of the
overseer's whip, and among tlie newly
sworn in Senator of the United States
was one who had stood as a page boy
on the spot where he took the oath.

Heavy Failure.
The Olean Democrat of last week
says: Wednesday morning tlie tuil-
ureof DeForest Weld, who has some
times been denominated tlie "merch
ant prince of Western New York,"
was announced, losome peoplo the
failure may have been a surprise, but
to tlie more cautious and observant
part of tlie business public the crash
lias been expected for some time tn
fact we have heard it predicted for
more than a year past. At the time
of tlie failure Weld Was the ostensible
owner of stores at Jamestown, Me..d
ville, Titusville, Bradford and Warren,
and was, to use a vulgar expression,
"just spreading himself." The Mead
ville and Titusville stores were re
cently purchased of W. A. Andrews,
who in one way and another has been
connected with Weld's enterprises.
By tlie aid of a liberal display of prin
ter's ink in tlie way of advertising
and hand bills, and the running of ex
cur-ion trains, and other enterprising
devices, Weld has undoubtedly done a
very large business, and secured more
or less trade from almost every town
in western New York. He pretended
to sell very cheap, an l in soaie lines
did make very low prices, hut il is
generally understood that much the
larger part of his stock consisted of
cheap goods, several degrees removed
from first-class. Some newspapers in
ill is locality, notably the Olean Time
has covered him with fulsome praise,
and lauded him to the skies, at times
going so far as to advise its own town
people to patronize Weld In prefer
ence to local merchants, but tlie Dem
ocrat has always opposed this idea,
and repeatedly told its readers that
goods could be purchased as cheap, if
not cheaper, at home than of any
flash-iii-tlie-pan merchant like Weld.
Weld's total liabilities are very large
and will probably approach a quarter
of a million of dollars. Judgments to
the extent of nearly $200,000 were en
tered against him on Tuesday, and the
squall had just commenced. Of this
sum, it is said II. B. Claflin & Co.,
hold $e",K)0. Meadville, Titusville,

said to be quite heavily involved.

This very remarkable enterprise
continues to make such progress as to
astonish its friends and astound its
enemies. Its greatly increasing pro
portions have compelled the removal
of its head-quarters from the Tribune
liuilding to the large and beautiful
building, No. 704 Broadway, which
is in tlie very midst of tlie "book dis
trict" New York City, and, therefore
of the publishing enterprise of tlie
nation. This building, though six
stories iiHieiglit, 25 feet front and 100
feet deep, is sullicieiit only for the of
flees and retail store of tlie Company.
Die manufacturing is curried on in
several large buildings located in other
parts of the city, though it is contem

The Government has decided
against the petition of tlie national
banks for the return of the currency
deposited by them In the Treasury
during the recent Funding Bill agita
tion. The total amount deposited af
ter the passage of the Funding Bill by
the Senate and Its veto by the Presi
dent was $18,864,434. Of this, $1,287,
500, on which the security bonds had
not been surrendered nor any redemp
tions made against the amount de
posited, have been returned. So the
contraction of the currency by this
action of the banks is $17,57B,931. As
an offset to this the Treasury first paid
out for bonds purchased about $0,500,
000, and yesterday let loose $5,000,000
additional by another purchase.
This would leave the net contraction
about $8,000,000, but this has consid
erably more than made up by the puy
ment in advance since the 1st lust, of
$7,583,844 arrears of penions.
The last payment being scattered
In small amounts all over the country
would not at once be felt in banking
circles. On the first of April there
will fall due more than $7 000,000 In
terest, so it will be seen there is little
possibility of even a temporary con
traction of the currency. Of a ier
mauent contraction there has never
been any danger unless the banks
should so elect. It has been within
their discretion all along to return
their bonds and receive on them the
same amount of new circulating notes
as they had before. They pieferred,
however, to recover their legal-tenders
and avoid the delay and trouble
of issuing new notes. This course
would also have saved the Govern
ment the expense of printing new bills
but as the bonds had been surrendered
and redemption against the amounts
deposited had been made, it suited tlie
Government better to treat these sur
renders as completed transactions
which could not lie reconsidered. The
banks will doubtless now apply for
new notes at once to an amount equal
to that which was surrendered. The
printing and signing of these notes
ought not to involve a very long de
lay; some $4,000,000, indeed, are ready
to be issued at once- The same bonds
will be received again as security and
the transient evil effect of the latest,
and we trust, the last Democratic ex
peri ment at financial legislation will
be effectually remedied.
