Another Heavy ISank lie fat-

From the New York Tribune Aug. 17.
Yesterday the Guancial cirole of this
city were much startled with rumors of
heavy defalcations by the paying tellers
of the Tradesmen's National Hank, cor.
nor of Broadway and Reade street. Of
course, these rumors were, as is usual in
such cases much exaggerated. Trust
worthy reports, however, show that the
defalcations are indeed large, amounting
in all to about $95,000. The default
ers, James Arnold and Raker, the
first and second tellers, have been era
ployed in the bank over thirty years.
They have ever, until this week, enjoy
cd the unlimited confidence of the bank
officers. They arc both married men,
nnd boih are about fifty years of acre.
What could have led to the crime with
which they are charged in still a mys
tery. They have both been hitherto
regarded as upright citizens, froo troni
the dissipations which have so often ru
incd men of their class in this city, and
altogether regarded na really worthy of
the trusts reposed in them. Not a sus
picion of thci'r lack of integrity bad been
raised till Tuesday of this week. On
that day one of the clerks of the bank
found a deficiency in the accounts of the
Receiving Teller "Arnold. He commu.
nicatcd this to the President of the bank,
who immediately held an interview with
Arnold. The latter on being question,
ed closely 'concerning these accounts,
"was very much confused, and at hist ad.
mitted that he did not know how much
his deficiencies were. This h'd to n clo
Ktr examination, when it was found that
the bank had been defrauded by the two
tulioi-3 in the above named sum of 895,
.'(. The two tullars for a long time,
T robably for a period of four or five
v( rs, hail been act ng in conumon.
Although the fact that a defalcation hud
been committed was known on Tuesday,
it was not certainly known till yesterday
morning that collusion had existed be
tween the two tellers. Ry any one well
vcivcd in tho general management of
banks it will be perceived that these
f rauds could not have been easily cor-i-octiid
except by snch collusion, because
f the regular bal.incincr of tho books
each d.iy ; with such collusion conceal
went could not easily be prevented, so
long as tho books of tho two balanecd.
Tin general plan of the two, iu brief,
was this : When deposits were placed
iii the hands of the receiving teller, be
v.nuld make false entries in his bocks.
11c frequently postponed balancing his
boo'; till tho morning following the
time tho deposits were made. The pay
j nc; lullor, of courso had ample time to
mi. ke his books tally with tho rocciving
ti'lh-r's. In banking, as in all other bu-ui'.o.-s
of couwe trust must be reposed
i omcwhisre. It is simply impossible for
the mineral officers of a bank to know, at
ibe lime, of every deposit made. Tho
lidlerj in this ease, of course, were trus
ted. Had ono been boiusf, tho crime
of th.fi other could not have escaped
i pi-cdy detection. Tho Hoard of Pircc.
1,.1-s of the bank will hold a meeting on
Monday with reference to the.se defalca
tions. Tho defaulters, for obvious reas
ons have not, as yet, been arrtssted.

n t:s'vnr..si ti.
Mr. l'liroii : 1 wish to ' pudiutc
the punter's punctuation of tho last
clause in my letter hist, week, before I
say a word on repudiation. Tbs wonts
" tnkc that" should be included in the
rjuotalion marks as the language of the
debtor to his creditor vh"ti offering tho
" legal tender" currency : a paper dollar
is as good as n gold one, take that." )
Now tho question which the people!
mo called to answer, and which every
man is pentniir!i inleiested to have an
swered right is this: 7s a paper dol
lar equal iu value, to a gold ouc ; and, if
not, is it 7ionf.it to give only paper where
gold is due ? "Whatever Thud. Steven!"
may guy, and whatever Congress may
legislate upon tho subject, every man
knows that the paper is not equal in val
ue to the gold. Tho paper is only a
promise to pay, and is very convenient
in commerce when the promise is relia
ble. Rut when the promise is not reli
able ; when the promises, whether nn
individual, a bank, a state, or a nation,
is able to pay only a part of what is
promised j then, evidently, the value of
the paper is not what is promised on the
face of it, but only such part a3 can ac
tually bo obtained. Suppose your neigh
bor owes you 500. lie has not tha
money, aud offers instead notes of two
well known individuals, Thomas Tag for
5300, and Robert Tail for $200. You
reply " these gentlemen ate well known
indeed, and the notes together are worth
prccitcly $315, and I am willing to take
them for so much." Rut your neigh
bor is indignant that you should dispar
age the paper of such men men who
hazarded their fortunes if not their lives
to sustain the government calls you
"disloyal " etc., etc., because you are
not willing to take 315 as equal to 6500.
All can Fee how ridiculous such conduct
would be; and is it any less so when a
nation does the same thing? Yet the
Radical press urges that tha opinion of
Judge Sharswood against "legal ten
der " currency " is enough to damn any
man who is candidate for the votes of a
loyal people." " Why ? Because goy.
eminent was in extremity, and could
only be saved by the legal tender act !
Well : if the inability of government to
pay its soldiers and other creditors jus
tified that act, then the greater tho ina
bility the stronger the reason. And if
which is supposable if not probable-
the credit of the United States should
fall as low as that of tho Confederate
States toward the close of tho war, then
tho legal tender act would enable Uncle
Sam and all other debtors to discharge
their obligations by paying ono cent on
tho dollar. The soldiers thirteon dol
lars a month would then be thirteen
cents a month rather cheap fighting.
Would it bo " disloyal " to suggest
that it was rather small in Uncle Sam to
claim that he had fully paid his debts ?
Rut the prineiph is thsame when he
claim to have paid his debts by paying
for or sixty cents on the dollar ; and the
consequence of establishing this princi
pie can be easily imagined. Aro tho
Radicals-or Republicans, if they pre
fer willing to commit themselves to
this kind of repudiation ? Let the is
sue be fairly placed before the people :
let it be understood that the now domi
uant party in favor of repudiuting the
national dclt at least a quarter, half, or
any portion that may bo rendered ne
cessary by tho ' high premium on gold"
and see whether the October elections
will result iu fuvor of that party. It
they do, wo must acknowledge that
honesty is not a prevailing trait of the
American character. C1VIS.

CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY NO. 12.
Wc come now to a' point whero the
Catholic doctrine is vehemently opposed
by some modern sectaries, as it was by
some heretics in ancient times. The
(lot-trine of election Mi-ikes at tho very
root of human pride, and hence those
who arc willing to submit to God make
n frrcat ado against it. Put those who
arc willing to learn what God has taught
in the l'ible, and to obey what IIo has
commanded, will find no difficulty with
this doctrine ; but will say with tho sa.
viour himself, " I confess to thpo, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, be.
cause thou hast hid these things Irom
the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them to little ones. Yea, Father; ot
to hath it seemed good in thy sight."
(Matt. 11, 25, 20). To such persons
these words give a sufficient answer to
the question which I proposed to ans.
wcr in this number ; and this is tho only
answer which can bo given in our pro
sent stttc. If any aro not satisfied with
it, but say "it is not right for God to
save some men and leave others who are
no worse to perish," we might ask ' is it
right for God to give more of this world's
goods to soma than to others f ' which
he evidently does.
But every honest mind, even without
much learning, may understand the dec
trine, and derive practical benefit from
it, by simply following the word of God.
There it is plainly taught that all men
are tiuners, evon " dead" in their sins,
and that they need to be " born again,"
" created anew," beforo they can enter
into the kingdom of heaven. Although
the blood which cleanscth from all sin
has been sued, and its saving benefits
offered freclcy to all men, yet men are
so unwilling to bo saved, they so much
prefer to follow their own inclination and
leave all thoughts of God and heaven to
some other times, that no one would
ever come to Christ and be saved if God
did noj interpose and draw them one by
one. " No man can oome to me, ex.
cept the Father, who hath sent me, draw
him, and I will raise- him up at the last
day." John G, 44. 3ut why does
not tho Almighty Father draw all men,
and not allow the gospel to be " hid "
2 Cor. 4, 3 to any ? The answer
given Matt. 11, 26 is the only one that
is ievealed to us : " Yea, Father; for so
hath it seemed good in thy sight." It
seemed good to the Father, who so loved
tha world as to give his son for its salva
tion, and who invites all men, yea, com
mands them, to oome to Christ and be
saved, it seemed good to Ilini to draw
only a part of the unwilling multitude
aud leave a part to their own chosen
ways, that these may be monuments of
justice, as the others are monuments of
mercy. And in selecting the individu
als who aro to bo " vessels of mercy,'
wo aro inlcrmea that God does not
choose many mighty and noble, accor
ding to the distinctions of this world,
but more of the poor and despised : and
this is to the end " that r.o flesh should
glory in his sight." (1 Cor. 1, 29)
Only those are saved whom God choos.
cs, ot bis own sovercgn pleasure, to
draw to chnst : and tho rest cannot
complain of injustice, (as some are ready
to do), for all are invited to come, and
there is nothing to hinder any one from
coming but hi3 own unwillingness- If
men will chooso to die when life is free
ly offered, surely it is nobody's fault but
their own.
Put those who are saved cannot con-

lor it is only God s distinguishing mer

every member of it, must forever thank
Uod not only the gift of a savior to the
world, but for the g'ft of salvation to
them in particular; as Paul to the
Ephesiaus (I, C) blesses God forfpiritu

JUDGE S'iAESWOOD AND LEGAL TENDER.
Tho New York Tribune recently con.
tainod a well. reasoned nrticlo based
upon the letter of a Herald correspond,
cut on the subject of our national finan
ces ; which purports to como from tho
West, and, charges tho Democracy of
that region with favoring n substantial
repudiation of tho public debt, by sub
stituting " greenbacks " for tho out
standing bonds which are payable, both
principal and iM.erc.st, in gold. In
other words, by compelling bond-hold-cis
to surrender their bonds, accepting
payment thcrcfoi in legal tender notes.
This being the substance of the text the
Trilntnr retrarks as followes :
Our readers will bear witness that wo
have steadily opposed all these "indirect
paths "to repudiation as only more knavish
than direct, unblushing rasealicy. Tlio
American people, iu oi or to sustain their
national existence, wero constrained to
borrow twenly-fivo hundred millions of
dollar. They obtained this vast sum
on tho best, possible terms eagerly accept
ing lulls for loans irom native ana foreign
er, Republican and Democrat, War Unionist
or Copperhead, No man can say that ho
miftht not have had all the bonds he chose
to take on tho samo terms with thoso who
did take them. Now it is the imperative
dictate of honesty and good faith that we
shall pay these loans presisoly as we con.
trncted to pay them, ilio pretense ol pay
ing them by issuing tweuty-fivo huudred
millions of new greenbacks, redeemable in
nothing, and proffering those to every public
creditor, djllav for dollar, in lieu of tho
principal aud interest in gold that wo owe
him, would ihame any ewindlcr tcho ever
uttered counterfeit money, orpaeaed off bogus
checks. No one will countenance any of
these dcvieeB for evading dobt3 instead of
paying them, who is not in heart and soul
a villain. Any Republican or War Demo
crat who lends them a shadow of counte
nance proves himself an inyratc, a villain,
and a fool.
In his dissenting opinion in tho case
of Borievs. Trott, Judge Sharswood, in
well-selected jiulim'al language, dcuied
the constitutionality of tho act of Con
gresss of February 25, 1802, which is
supposed to have made paper the equiva
lent ot coin in the payment of debts
for obvious reasons rejecting the edito
rial epithets of " swindler," " ingrate,"
" fool," " villain," &o as applicable to
those who will " lend countenance," or
" it nbndnw of countenance " to the
opposite doctrine
Ilia view of the law
upon this question is in full accord with
that of the Tribune, communicated with
so much empasis in the above exttact.
To that paper is generally conceded the
position of the organ of tho republican
party of the country it sustains Judge
Sharswood's view that paper and gold
are different things, and that oven Con
gressional omnipotence cannot make
them either identical or equivalents, and
yet the Republican press of this city
and State have hinged their wholo op.
position to Judge Sharswood, as the
Democratic candidate for tho Supreme
Bench, upon the opinion entertained iu
eo mmon by him and the Tribune on
this important question. Have tho Re
public an party no uniform theory upon
this :subjocts, or are there factions
within its organization, ono holding this
view and another that ? Does one Re
publican hold that a piece of printed
papor, promising to pay one dollar, is
identical with a piece of gold medal with
tho impress of " ono dollar " stamped
upon it by a die ; while another Rep Jj
lican, equally sound in the faith, insists
that there is a difference between the
two 1 If Simon Cameron were to bor
row of Johu W Forney 8100,000 in
cold delivered in bulk, in sacks or kegs
at the United States Mint iu Philade!
phia, to be repaid in ten, twenty or
thirty days at tho office of " The Press,"
at Seventh and Chestnut streets, would
the said John W. Forney be willing to
receive payment of his loan in tho legal
teLdcr notes of the United States as the
equivalent of tho gold bo had loaned
dollar for dollar ? If not, why not ?
In such a case whieh would be tha more
cons'utent and steadfast Republican.'ho
Cameron who tendered payment in
paper of the debt contracted in gold, or
tho Forney who refused to accept the
tender ? Mr. Forney's " two newspaper
both dailes, support tho Cameron side
of this supposed case, and say the paper
payment is legally sufficient. Judge
Sharswood and the Trilnue coucut a
condemning it. This is tho exact issue
the Republicans make with Judge
bharswood, and this the people will da
terminein October next, and upon their
neaas win rest mo consoqusnoes ot their
decision. Jige,
To Make a Stack Settle True.
There are two things to do this ; keep.
ing mo center up ; ana pitching on
from all sides. This last makes tho
stack settle evenly. Pitching on two
sides will balance it ; but it is not so
good, as it docs not make it evenly solid
all round, but leaves some parts lower,
whore tho water is apt to scttlo. By
keeping tho stack high in the centre, as
it is built up and sloping outward, tho
rain will be unable to penetrate, as, like
a roof, it will ward it off. Keep high
in the middle from bottom to top, aud
pitch on all sides to make equally solid.

The Inlij oT Ittmocretts.
The Democrats of tho country may
learn many useful lessous by obscrv.
ing and imitating tie Republicans.
While the Democrats aro resting,
the Republicans are working with un
tiring industry.
Whilo tho Democrats aro striving
to heal tho wounds of tho past, tho Re.
publicans are treasuring up wiath for
the future.
While a Democrat i.-t saying : " Wc
will not hereafter mako any political
tests iu business, religion or social
life," the Radical is canting about for
some way to make his business, his
religion and his social position con
tribute strength to his party.
Six days in tho week Republican
laymen work for their party, and on
the seventh the some kind of work is
done by many of the republican clorgy
men that infest the pulpit.
Too many Democrats, out of regard
for the feelings of susceptible Repub
lican friends, hold their pcaco six days
in tho week," and on the seventh Dem
ocratic clergymen rctuso to talk pol
itics.
Republicans support their papers'
advertise iu their., subscribo for them,
talk for them, canvass for them, and
if the paper have a job office, patronize
it liberally.
Too many Democrats rcluse to sup
port their papers do not advertise iu
them, nor subscribo tor tnetn, nor taiK
for them, nor canvass for them, and if
the paper have a job ofiiee, do not
patronize it. If they want blanks or
bill-heads, or cards, they go to another
city and obtain them from a Republican
firm. And even Democratic offieei
holdcrs sometimes send to another city
and patronize Republican printiug
offices. These office-holders .aiay say in
apology that the foreign office does bet
ter and cheaper printing, and as they
are very fastidious men, tne apology may
be sufficient with the Ilemoeratio party ;
but we assert that a Republioan office
holder never prcuiits his love of fine
printing and cheap prices to induce
him to send away from a town in
which there is a Republican printing
office a blank or a poster to be done
by a Democratic printer. . If he did,
no excuse would bo sufficient to save
him from the wrath of his part isans,
Thev would become too fastidious to
retain him in office
In Republican cities Democrats do
Dot often become school duectors, and
the school directors never employ Doni,
ocratic teachers.
Iu Democratic cities tho Democrats
too often permit the Republicans to
have a majority of the school directors,
and these directors always employ He.-
publican teachers, who are too much
prejudiced nxainst the Deuioeraey to
subscribe for the Democratic paper,
although it may be tho only paper pub'
lished in tho city.
Before and after and during polit
ical campaigns, the Republicans sub
scribe liberally to pay for party work.
Before and after political campaigns
a great many Democrats refuse to give
anv money for party purposes, and
during a campaign it takes great labor
to induco them to pay half as much
as they ought to pay.
At present the Republicans are
working with great industry to mak
sure of the Presidential election next
fall.
Al present the Democrats are indus
triously doing nothing.
The Republican National Executive
Committee have just issued an address
in winch they announce that money
is wanted, because this is an "auspi
cious crisis of our country," that " not
a day should be lost ; " that" it(money)
is the pressing need ot the hour ;
that it is " an imperative duty " to con
taibute " legal tender " to aid in this
work of spreading " the principles
which underlie the groat political or

.1 iMtrrow Escape.
From the Dubuquo Hc-ald.
A remarkable escape Irom death oe
currod tho other day which makes one's
blood chill to think that tho eonssqueu
ccs were not greater than they wcro.
Last Tuesday evening Mrs. Patrick Ma.
bar, a middle-aged woman, residing near
the head ot Dodgo street, back of the
gas house, had occasion to visit her son 9
houso, a short distance fro-u the bluff.
Starting between nine and tan o'clock,
she proceeded along, and wandering
from tho path fell into a mineral hole
forty feet deep, where she remained un
til Wednesday noon. Tho shaft had
been worked years ago and abandoned,
and was covered with grass and weeds,
whioh no one would suspect concealed a
dangerous trap. Not returning that
evening, it was suspected that sho had
concludd to remain at her son's house ;
but a visit there disclosed the fact that
sho had not been heard of. Search was
then made about the neighborhood, but
no traces of the missing woman could be
found for eeveral hours. A woman
looking for her children, who had stray
ed away, found a shawl on the edge of a
mineral hole, which furnished a clue to
the mising feiffale. Assistance was
procured and the shaft explored. Down
iinised considerable, butstrariL'0 to say
no bones wcro broken, and after receiv
ing medical treatment wns pronounced
in u luir way oi recovery, lcstprdav
she was doing well.
Mrs. Mahar is tho mother of a lar'o
family, who are rejoicing in her miracu
lous csCano from instant death. Tho
finding of her shawl is accounted for by
the fact that it hung loose on her shoul
ders, and fell off when she stepped into
the concealed .shaft.
