SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 5, 1863.
A MONSTER NATIONAL BANK.
In Thursday's paper we re-published from
the Journal of Commerce an article on this sub
ject, calling public attention to the fact that
Mr. Secretary Chase had set the machinery in
motion to establish a monster Treasury Bank
upon the ruins of the State Banks, which he
has determined to strike down, so as to secure
to himself the entire control of the finances of
the country. We subjoin a second article from
the same source, and, as the new policy indi
cated by the Secretary affects not only the
whole business of the country, but the integrity
and liberty of the people, we commend it to
the attention of every one who hie yet left any
regard for our republican institutions and the
public virtue:
EVILS TO BE AVOIDED.
While the act to provide a national currency
was under discussion, there were many efforts
made to show its evil tendency, and to prevent
its enactment. The labor is now over, and the
only good which can come from an examina
tion of the law is the prevention or mitigation
of the evils which are most to be dreaded from
its execution. In our last we pointed out the
dangers which were likely to occur from a col
lision between the old and new systems, and
called attention especially to the purpose now
avowed at Washington, to establish the new
banks upon the ruins of State institutions. The
object of this substitution is declared to be the
desire of the General Government to have the
moneyed institutions of the country under its
control and supervision. The danger of such a
connection must be apparent to every reflecting
mind. History towhee that there are no means
of corruption as potent as the unlimited use
of the'public funds.
The original draft of the act under discus
sion restricted the Secretary of the Treasury in
this particular. He could deposit the public
money in any of the new banks, and to any
amount ; but he must in all cases take an equal
amount of the national stocks as security. After
much finesse, this restriction was removed, and=
the power of the Secretary over the funds of
the Treasury was left without limit. We called
attention to the danger from this source ; but
our warming was met with the assurance that
the money would always be safe, as the Secre
tary, without legislative prompting, would ex
act ample security for every dollar of the pub
lic money.
We are now only en the threshhold of the
experiment, and yet we learn from the organs
of the Secretary that he has taken the very
course against which our warning was uttered.
He has concluded, as announced, to exact ten
per cent. of the capital stock in stocks, and to
take, in addition, a bond from the stockhol
ders to the full amount of theiz capital ! Who
would lend, indiscriminately, one hundred
thousand dollars on such security ? It is easy
to see that the fostering care of the general
government is likely to bring into being a ma
jority of ' , banks of circulation," started chiefly
for the purpose of distributing currency and
availing of the government deposits. Several
gentlemen with limited means borrow $lOO,OOO
in government stocks, paying a commission
for their use, and thus secure $90,000 in bank
notes from Washington. They open a bank,
receive deposits, and may then pay off the
original loan. The Secretary of the Treasury
deposits $lOO,OOO with them upon 10 per cents
security and their joint bond to make it good.
They loan it out, honestly intending to make
good use of it, and to save the principal harm
less to be restored in due time to the Trea
sury. But they are new, and have few regular
customers in a legitimate business. Besides,
the very fact of their connection with the
Treasury will send to them a throng of politi
cal leeches, who always expect a little accom
modation for their Whence. Time, with the
best intentions in the world, their investments
cannot be realized when the Treasury needs
its funds. The hour of need is always a bad
hour for collections. They cannot respond.—
The stocks they have deposited, it may be,
will not sell for enough to redeem the circula
tion ; their bond is worthless, and the public
funds are lost.
If this danger exists where the associates do
not intend any fraud, what will cover the risk
of dealing with that swindling fraternity who
hang around the banking system of every
State, seeking an avenue to evade the laws and
prey upon the public? Will no such rogues
avail themselves of the new act, and enter this
unguarded way to the public treasury ?
But who is to distribute the patronage among
these several institutions? On what principle
is it to be divided or conferred ? The Comp
troller, in his circular, already alluded to,
promises them that they "are to become the
financial agents of the government." What
conditions will be exacted of them? What
services are they to render for such a distinc
tion ? Will all alike share in the profits of this
connection ? These are not idle questions.
They must startle every thoughtful patriot
with their terrible significance. The govern
ment has at this moment over thirty million
dollars of money in its chest. All •of this,
save the specie, and as much more as shall be
accumulated, is to be garnered, it is said, in
these :pet institutions, and thus let out upon
the country, like a great tide of corruption,
corroding the body pelitic with its inevitable
canker.
It is not yet too late to avoid this great dan
ger. The Sub-Treasury is a safe place of de
posit for the public funds ; and that well-tried
system
_should never have been encroached
upon. It is not necessary to the establishment
of these new banks that they should be made
the custodians of the public funds ; and -we
cannot see how any good citizen can fail to
shudder at the danger, both financial and po
litical, which must attend on such a distribu
tion. But if the bargain must be kept, and
the money, for political reasons, must be loaned
to institutions "supervised and controlled at
Washington," the public may certainly insist
that the Treasury shall have something more
than the shadow of a security. It would be a
great favor to any bank to make it one of "the
flu:uncial agents of the government" and allow
it to use a million or two of the public funds,
paying out its own currency when called upon
for disbursement, even if it gave as security
°eat per cent in U. S. bonds into the Trea
suter's keeping. It would then draw the in
terest on the bonds, and have the use of the
mey, with the influence and patronage it
wold bring, for nothing. We earnestly hope
th this question of security will at least be
set led in the interest of the Treasury. - The
ot , •r danger we cannot hope wholly to avert ;
bu by directing public attention to to it, the
tid
.of corruption thus set at work may lose
so , ething of its power. A shrewd politician
re . arked, when the details of this banking
se . -me were Ord made known to him, "who

But a great sacrifice has been made to ob
tain it, and the end is not yet. Every banking
institution in our land is to he crushed that
this new power may have free scope. It
"would be better," says the head of this de
partment, "to wind up present State institu
tions, and organize new associations t " and the
whole power of the government is to be di
rected to this end. We might paint a graphic
pioturn of the wide-spread commercial disaster
which is involved in this simple phrase "wind
ing up their present State institutions.," but it
needs no coloring at our hands. Vested rights,
the little trust fund of widows and orphans,
cherished names, all count for nothing in this
struggle after political power through the con
trol of the nation's purge.
In our next we shall discuss some points
bearing on the duty of bankers in this State,
in the struggle now before them.
HOW TO END THE WAR AND RESTORE
THE UNION.
On Monday last we published a letter from
a Mr. John Adams, whose character for ve
racity was strongly endorsed by the National
Intelligence?, giving an account of the state of
feeling in regard to the rebellion throughout
several of the Southern States through which
he lately traveled. After alluding to the de
spondency among the rebel leaders, because of
their late reverses, Mr. Adatne, speaking of the
masses of the Southern people, remarks :
" In view of these simple truths I would ask,
Messrs. Editors, through the medium of your
invaluable journal, if the President cannot
; afford to be magnanimous ? If, after-the fall
of Charlethon, he cannot afford to offer some
terms which shall induce the great body of the
Southern people to return to their allegiance
to the Federal Union and the Government of
the United States ? If he be ambitious of en
viable fame, he will do it ; if he desires to be
remembered as the second Washington, he will
do it ; if he wishes to secure to himself the ap
pellation of Abraham the Great, he will do it ;
if he wishes to imitate the example of Him who
said, Go thou and sin no more,' he will do
it; and, I may add, if be wishes to proclaim
the popular sentiment of the American people,
and the sentiment of humanity, civilization and
Christianity throughout the world, be will do
it ; which God grant, for peace sake."
The publication of the letter in question hts
aroused the rage and indigAtion of„the radi
cals throughout the country. The idea of the war
is for the Union," being concluded, before their
darling schemes of emancipation and Southern
subjugation are fully consummated, is harrow
ing up their very souls. Among the worst of
them is, of course, the Pittsburg Gazette, which
responds to Mr. Adams' appeal for peace by
the withdrawal of the emancipation proclama-
tion, as follows :
" And now, John Adams, Jr., we have a
message for your friends. Tell them for us,
that if the aet'of the President was valid—
/ what is writ is writ,' and before Heaven and
earth it is irrevocable. Tell theM that if it
Was not valid, it is a 'nullity in itself, and the
courts will so declare it, as the President can
not. Bay to your friends of the Intelligencer,
too, that the country will refuse to accept its
alternative of Union and slavery,or freedom and
protracted war, however much it may labor to
marry the ha wk and the dove, or join those
things together, between which (14 . 011 and
nature have decreed an eternal separation: We
have tried'the Union with slavery and found
it would not work."
The crumbling of the rebellion throughout
the South, the lamentations of the people over
their disasters, and their anxiety to return to
the Union, are forcing theradicals to announce
what they have all along endeavored to con
ceal. Their pretended war "for the Union"
was a cheat, a villainous swindle, to deceive
the people. They commenced hostilities, net
for the preservation of our Union, but for the
destruction of slavery; they have prolonged
hostilities for the same purpose, and they now
openly proclaim their determination to accept
no restoration of the Unian until their bloody
purposes are finally and completely accom
plished. But are the people, the sober, serious
and reflecting =sew prepared to sustain a
war for . exterminating the innocent white mil-
Hone of the South, in order to give freedom to
some millions of slaves ? Are hostilities to be
continued indefinitely in order to appease the
vengeance of bloody and brutal Abolitionists,
who, in safety at home, exult in carnage and
blood ? These questions the people of Penn
sylvania will be called upon to decide at the
approaching election. For, be it remembered,
that if the people of our State endorse by their
untrmumelcd suffrages the party in power,
theeeby giving them an additional lease of of
fice, the radical element, of the Gazette class,
will fore the National administration to rigidly
enforce all of their programme. The southern
States will not be permitted to return to the
Union, except upon Abolition conditions. The
millions of the North may long for a cessation
of hostilities, which are, unnecessarily, killing
off their relatives and friends ; but the inexo
rable spirit of Abolitionism will not yield to
their entreaties for peace. , Conscription acts
will be renewed to raise additional forces to be
used for Abolition purposes, and the very blood
and agony of the nation exhausted in endea
voring to secure negro emancipation. The
acknowledgment of this monstrous intention
should put the people to thinking. Hostilities
can be easily terminated, if the Abolitionists
will but say so. Will they do it ? " That is
the question."—Pittsburg
FEMME ON THE GOVERNMENT.—The Balti
more Sun states that a man named John L.
Piehl was arrested in Washington on Saturday
on the charge of forging the name of Captain
Tompkins, Quartermaster in the United States
army, upon a receipt, on which he obtained an
order from the Paymaster, drawn on the Citi
zens' Bank of Baltimore, for $40,000, payable
in twenty days. He went to the bank and
obtained $25,000 in cash and a certified cheek
for the remaing $15,000. It appears that the
accused, who resides in Pittsburg, professed
to have purchased five hundred horses for the
government, and, upon his statement, Levin S.
Tarr, a clerk in the Quartermaster's Depart
ment, gave him five receipts for one hundred
dollars each, though the animals had not been
delivered. Tarr, the clerk, confesses to ljsve
filled all the receipts on official paper, but did
not sign the name of the Quartermaster. The
receipts, however, were found, and the slipa.,.p .7
4
tures corresponded with others confeW 4 l4
Tarr to have been written by himself for
amusement. He was taken into custody, and
is now confined in the Old Capitol prison.
After getting the receipts, Piehl, it is alleged,
forged the endorsement of the Quartermaster,
and succeeded in obtaining the order from the
Paymaster for the amount drawn on the Citi
zens' Bank. He then went to the bank, where
he was introduced by a business man, and
obtained the amount in cash and the ce rtified
check for the remainder, as above stated. It
le / thought probable that the greater part of
the money obtained from the bank may be re
covered, as the discovery of the forgery was
made so soon after the money. was obtained
that he had not time to dispose of it.

ALL ABOUT QUANTRELL.
Quantrell't retreat, says the Leavenworth
Times, was marked by all the outrages he and
and his command could find time to commit.
They burned the house of Goss, a farmer near
Lawrence, on the road to Blaton's Bridge, and
tore up the planks of the bridge, and fired it.
It was extinguished without much damage be
ing done. From Blaton's Bridge , to the Santa
Fe road they burned everything—houses,
barns, crepe, &c., for half a mile on each aide
of the road. The house, bars, Stc.,.of Mr. lll
rick, one of the heaviest farmers of Douglas
county, were burned; also, those of Mr. Both
wick, whom they attempted to kill, shooting
him three times. At Brooklyn, a little town
on the Santa Fe road, they burned pretty =oh
everything there was. Here they divided their
command, with the intention of burning both
Prairie City and Baldwin, but Major Plumb's
force coming up on their left flank, they pushed
off to the west of Prairie City, following down
the Ossawatomie road.
The Missouri Republican furnishes some bio
graphical information of the butcher outlaw
Quantrell : "He was an early resident of Law
rence, where be went by the name of Charles
Hart. In 1854 he was a member of Jennison's
regiment, and proved himself an apt pupil un
der his tuition. Of late years he seemed to
have subordinated the question of politics to
that of brigandage, and although he now pro
fesses to 'be a rebel, holding a commission of
some sort from Jeff. Davis, it makes very little
difference to him by what name he is called,
so that he gets all the plunder that he wants,
His relations with all the leading brigands and
the Red Legs of Kansas, were of the most
friendly character—so much so that they never
did each other much harm in battle or other
wise—and Quantrell's plunder of horees,mules,
cattle and valuables,have frequently been found
in the market of Kansas.".
QUANTRELL, THE GUERRILLA RUFFIAN.-
Quaatrell, the butcher, of Kansas citizens, is
an Ohioan by birth, went to Kansas as a school
teacher, and turned up the leader of a banditti.
The Worcester (Mass.) Spy says :
His real name is Hart. Sometime after Kan
sas was organized as a Territory he want there
and became a resident of Lawrence. When the
border ruffians beget', their outrages in Kansas
he acted with the free State men, joining one
of the military companies, and for a time, we
believe, was connected with John Brown's men,
and failed to win his confidence.
After a time "Quantrell" (or Hart rather)
formed a secret connexion with the border ruf
fians. He was fast losing reputation at Law
rence, and found it desirable to seek new and
more congenial associations. He served the
ruffians as a spy, concerted with them plans
for abducting colored people from Kansas, and
continued to operate in this way until Law
rence was not likely to tolerate him much
longer. The fear of lynch law constrained him
to leave the State. Soon after the present war
began be turned up in Missouri as the leader
of a lawless band of guerrillas.
THE PRICE OF BLOOD
We daily hear such expressions as the fol
lowing :
"Well, if the war does goes on, we aregetting
rich." " The country never was in a more
prosperous condition." "Business never as
brisker." "We are all making money." "This
war has not hurt me any." "I don't see why
men make so much ado in favor of peace," and
others of like import fall from the lips of men
who chatter loudly about "loyalty" 'war I war !
"to the last man," and "the last dollar."
How thoughtless, how cruel, how craven
hearted indeed must men have become, who
can talk thus whilst their neighbors, their
freinds, their brothers, and their country's
woes stare them boldly in the face. If they
are getting rich it is by 'coining money" out
of the necessities which the calamities of
war —cruel war have brought upon their
neighbors. If the condition of the country on
4, prosperous " it is that kind of prosperity
:AVenriches the few at the expense of the
. However prosperous the country may
appear, the nation is daily merging toward
bankruptcy_
If "busines never was brisker," it has often
been more profitable to the country at large.
The man who buys a pound of coffee, tea or
sugar, a yard of cloth, calico, or any article of.
actual necessity, will readily admit that the
draw on hie pocket is "brisk" indeed.
Men who are soulless enough to boast of
making money, now, whilst our mother earth
is drunk with the life blood of our friends and
our neighbors, freely poured out in defence, as
they supposed, of our outraged laws, we can
pity. They are but whitened sepulchres,
filled with dead men's bones, and, hyena like,
are making common cause with the vultures
who follow the track of our armies. The one
fattens, the other coins money out of the man
gled forms of slain veterans. The tears of
bereaved widows, the silent moan of a heart
broken mother, and the wailing of the father
less child, are so many sources of profit to
these modern "Shylocks."
Such men may well exclaim, why "so much
ado in favor of peace." No wonder they cry
war ! war ! no compromise ! Did the war
cease—did honesty and patriotism rule at
Washington and Harrisburg, instead of fanati
cism, Abolitionism and downright treason to
the Constitution, we would secure a speedy
peace and a restored Union ; and then, then
the vocation of such men would be at an end;
their patriotism would cool as soon as it failed
to pay. Shame ! shame ! on the men who can
make use of such expressions, and prate about
loyalty with the same breath.
Under their auspices, our country—once
happy, once free, once the home of the op
pressed of all nations—now mourns over a
fratricidal war, and freedom lies crushed in
the dust by the stern decree of military neces
sity.
The "asylum for the oppressed of all nations"
they have converted into a " Potter's field of
blood," the wealth of which they boast is the
"blood money" of the.paor. How long shall
fanaticism rule and ruin ? Answer, freemen,
at the polls.—Huntingdon Monitor.
