" If we could only get a larger discount
i> line," said a young mtriliant to a friend,
d "ive could double our business; what we
" want is capital, and discounts would give it
• lo us." "It is lack for you." replied Ids
h friend, who happened to be old 4c.il experi-
II j encs.d, "lhal you caimnt gat a larger discount
e ' line; for it would tempi yon.-13 extend your
I business and then fail you, just when yon
- ! needed il most; lake my word for it, relying
t on bank accommodation* to milage your cap
't j it ul is leaning on n broken reeil."
j The old inercl.uul was rigid. Il is strange
, I indeed, that lltn delusion which lie refused,
s ! prevails so generally among our beginners.
There is nothing which more frequently ru
. ! ins mercliaiits than this enlarging of their
, | business on the faith of an increased dis
; 1 count line; for such additions to llteir means
. j cannot be permanently rlied on, and should
not he regaided as capital. The plan works
t i well enough while everything is prosperous,
inor.ey cheap, and the banks eager lo linil
1 borrowers. Hut let a succession ol bail crops
1 j come, let ihe country over trade ilsell, or lei
| a financial panic arise from any cause, and
lo ! ihe bank cms down your discount line
, j immediately, and 10 all your expostulations,
. j curlfy replies that "it must protect itself." —
Thousands of inerehants were ruined be
! liveen the years 183(5 and 18-10, by having
| depended on bank ueenmmodalinns lo ex
lend their business, fit the period of cxpan*
j stor. they have beguiled into "making haste j
I to get rich," by the faeilities oflered by the '
! hum's; but when the hour for cordractinn
i came, when the banks put down their dis- j
] count lines, they found, alas! that lltey had 1
j beet: leaning 011 a broken reed.
A*k nuy intelligent nnil experienced mer- J
elintd, who has realized a Infinite, unci lie I
will say Hint bunk neenmiiiodstiiin*, though j
ihey may be salely used lor lempurnrv em- i
1 urgencies, should not bo relied on to ineran-e j
capital. For the later is required perm a- j
ni'tilly. and ought in be above the chance- J
of b.mk favor. It a dealer does business on ,
lilty thousand dollars, which he either pos
sesses in hi* own right, or tin* borrowed lot
a tent, of ye ns, hit knows, or should know,
preei-ely lioiv mneh he end salely sell; bid
lei him sell one liumlrad per cent, more, re
lying on bank Accommodations to tits extent j
ol att additional litiy thousand, and he sub
jects himself to the tisk of insolvency, the
moment the banks reduce his discount line
N.nv, in 111 ft-ommetcial transections, there '
me enough nks beyond tha merchant's eon- '
trol. without nteieaimg them by trading on
a espial burrowed. Item quarter to qti ioer.
Item the banks. Tlta temptation to enlarge
a business, by raising money on discounts,
is one to which voting mercltsnts, pinched
lot capital, are peculiarly liable, but beware
of it, lor. as the old shipper said, tt is lean

• well considered and digested ir.itrument. It
is federal reptibliran in its character and deal

1 terminating 011 the ISth December j the
' second beginning on the Ist of April nud ler
-1 minu'ing on the Inst of May. The executive
' is vested in cue single individual, styled the
"President of the United States of Mexico."
He must bo a Mexican citizen fry birth, 3d
years of eg J, and resident uf the country at
the time of his election. His term of office
|is limited 10 four years,to begin with die lt
|of December. He ban Hie power lo declare
war and roako treaties, subject, however, 10
) the ratification of Congress, and is charged
J well the other usual duties of at: executive,
j No ecclesiastic can ever become President ol
I the republic. The i tdtctary is vested in va

1 ho lVushintion County Murder.
ti | Although 11 week has elapsed since Bam
1, ' nel H. White was brutally murdered in bed,
1- in his residence near the Borough of Wash
t ir.gion. the police have been unable to gath
er any satisfactory or even circumstantial in
) formation, which might serve to dispel the
e I cloud of mystery which hangs around ihe
; bloody deed.
- I The Washington Examiner of the 4th tnst.
a contains full particulars of the tragedy, and a
It I diagram of the house and premises. Trie
• j editor thus describes the Bppearnnce of the
a ; room, as lie entered it about 10 o'clock,
- | Monday morning, some seven hours after the
v ; inuriler:
I | "The face and head were covered with
> clotted blood; the gore was dry and bard—
/ I not a feature of the face could bo discerned.
I The pillow ami bolster on which the head
i | rested were saturated with blood, and the I
, , sheet contained s perfect pool nf it, extending 1
I J from the neck of the deceased to Ihe middle .
i| of Ihe body. Blood was all ntound. The
- j head-board and the upper posts of the bed— t
v j the celling above ihe bed —the wall at the 1
> hca.l of the bed—the window at the side of ,
' the bed—and even the wall six feel Irom the I
1 I bel, were covered with blond.
j The appearance of the desk in which were I
the secret drawers used by Mr. White for j
keeping his money, is thusderenbed by the
I Examiner
| '• The door thai enclosed these drawers was
1 found to have been pried oIT its hinges, and j
I the drawers bore the marks of having been .
rnmnged. The lower mid larger drawers ol
I this desk, in which clothing vvas kept, had ;
evidently been examined by the robbers and
murderers, as their eontents ware ir.tteh dis- j
placed. There are no marks of blood on the
! desk, which, tit ettr opinion, goes lo show
' that there were two persons engaged in the ;
j 111 order, for no one con Id have dealt t'<e blows
! without getting very bloody. One must have
j done die robbing while the other nccont-
I plished the killing
The local press do not breathe a word of
suspicion against Mrs White, although the
truth of Iter testimony is ip estioned by the
MonotvgaltelA Jv'r/niMtVm, published in the
' same county. For want of a more reasonable
I tbooty—ot lather the absence of till material
! Irom which to form any other— he police
' and the public generally hereabouts, regard i
| Mrs. White as the murderess, or at leas; a
1 knowing who the motderers are. We have
' carefully read the entire testimony (filling
1 toar columns of the Kx-mintr.) and we can
reullv see nothing to warrant such a dreadlul
! conclusion. It does not appear that she could
have had any motive for committing the !
1 deed.
I The only circumstances which seem to
opetate against her aie, first—she got tip vjlti- ,
etiv, and passed over the toot ot the bed, so
as not to wake her husband: *nd secondly—
at vt passing into the kitchen, hearing the
noise outside and seeing the men approach
• and enter the door of her husband's room.
| she tied to Allison's without raising the least
t alarm
1 The first circumstance is very easily ex
plained—the very object she ha.t in getiiog
... ,> would induce any modest women not to
i wake bet husband.'
Her conduct m tieeing from the kitchen as
the robber* entered the room, vvi.l not admi'
1, ol so easv a solution —but whilst it s admit
-4 ted that the generality ol women would, un
[ dot s inilar circumstances, have raised an
alarm, and lematned in the house, yet surely
i; wool. 1 be absurd to conclude that because
Mis. White s\va she tied quickie away, it is
an evidence 01 her guilt Bhe might as easily
I have said, "I screamed aloud several times,
j and then tan."
The general impression here is, that Mi*
White wiilvei be arrested. Bui unlet* there
be iiuther developments, tending to implicate
! s bcr. we consider th: it would bo a gross out
,l rage to charge her with the crone. Taking
her statement as a whole, and comparing it
y wuh that of o.hcr*. it s.-cnis plausible ituough
out It is nut absolutely impossible that she
n could have murdered her husband, but to
at our view it is tar, tery far Item batingplaui-

The Unibatitlea In China.
The Crimean snuggle woke a Urge portion |
, of the civilized world from the delusion into
• which it had fallen, that "ware should be no
. more." The Chinese contest will shake mill
• further that faith in the perfection of the 19th
i century which so many entertain. Cities,
ruthlessly laid in ashes on one side, and poi
son sdmiciatered in bread on Iha other, are
significant warnings that revenge, troaclt
t ery, and other base passions reign yet ill the
i human heat!. From the Chinese, indeed,
i little else could be expected. They are — 1
, from the European point of view, at least— j
i a semi-barbario race of people, the belisvers
in a gross idolatry, cowardly, traitorous, liars,
i assassins. That they should seek to destroy, J
■ by arsenic, an enemy whose prowess they
fear, and from whose extirpation, in litis way,
no Christian teachings withhold them, is
1 nnrdly surprising, especially when we ra- '
' member that the Spaniards, a civilited, high- I
spirited people, during the French invasion, :
! poisoned the wells, in order to destroy the ;
j soldiers of Napoleon. But that the British ;
! should wantonly waste tho suburbs of Csn- '
j ton, seems, to us at least, altogether inexcu- j
1 sable and inexplicable.
1 And in this destruction, in fact, is to be
' found the solution to the poisonings at llong
Kong. Thousands of innocent families saw
their houses horned over their heads by the
j bombs and shells ot the British; sow them
| burned in a quarrel in which they had per- !
I sunnily taken no part, and lor which individ- !
, ually they were not responsible: sud their |
exasperation may be imagined. If there is j
anything which rouses the tiger in a man, it j
; is to have his wile and children driven forth i
' homeless into the world. The people ol our,
• own rural districts remember to this day, tho' !
three generations have elapsed,the atrocities '
J of the Hessians in the Revolution, and exe- '
cate lireat Britain accotdtitgly. It is almost
impossible lot a Christian and a civilijte.l
population will go. in revenge lor tne burn
ing of their homes anil household goods, and
1 their con sequent mm—especially a popula
liotl in whom the lainil) ties ate held so sa- .
