The Story of an Iowa National
Bank.
The failure of the Merchants’ National
Bank at Dubuque, Iowa, is one of the j t in ^
most remarkable occurrences of the panic.
The bank was organised in L865. The
President, Sheffield, had been for many
years identified with the dry goods busi-
nes* of that city, and was also promi
nently connected with new railways. Th.
eashier was Babbage, formerly a private
banker. The.^ gentlemen retained their
places up to the hour of the col lap**?, but (
when that came it was discovered that j
they had stolen $329,000. The ease with !
which this stupendous theft was con
summated is not the leas* wonderful port
of the affair. Says the Dubuque Herald :
All this (stealing) was done unknown
to a single person, not & director or hank
employ** knowing or mistrusting a word
of it. Unindorsed notes, have been put

dition. Entries have been made of

tho tainted air, and experienced that
stifling sensation which not even the full-
orbed sun in his midday glory could dissi
pate or drive from that doomed city ?
Or, if never permitted to be present
amid these harrowing scenes, have you
ever seen and nursed a victim of the
dreaded yellow fever ?
Then listen while the writer attempts
to portray what he saw:
It was a cool frosty evening on the 8th
of October. 1854. The sun had gone
down in unclouded magnificence, the
fields were whiio with tho fleecy staple,
the forests robed in their coat of many
colors. AU was peace and happiness, save
in the death-stricken habitations of, our
chief seaport. Savannah.
There, aU the dread pictures we have
summoned before you, had actual pres
ence and existence. Hurricanes, and dis
mantled, storm riven homes had added
their horrors, also, to tho “pestilence that
walkcth in darkness,’’ and “the destruc
tion that wasteth at noonday.”
It was jnat ten days before the period
wo have named, that a devoted brother,
one of nature’s noblemen, had ventured
within the walls of tuo doomed city (o
rescue the valuable papers and effects of
his sister, whose husband, an eminent
physician had just fallen at his post, a
victim to tho fever.
It was tho hour of noon when ho drove
into tho city, and fearlessly entered the
closed mansion, from which tho owner had
so recently been carried to his last rest
ing place.
A few brief minutes only were spent in
examining tho desk of tho deceased, and
securing tho papers and other valuables
sought for. Then that stalwart man, the
very embodiment of health and vigor, re
turned to his carriage and drove rapidly
back to his home in tho country some
forty miles distant. As before state*!, ten
days afterwards, on that cool, October
eve, he entered tho residence of a relative
alout nightfall, too thinly clad for the
season, and shaking with ague. That
kfnsraan, at once apprehensive of the
nature of his ailment, proceeded to treat
him accordingly. A rousing fire was
kindled on the hearth, hot water ordered,
and soon tho feet of the sick man were
placed in a worm mustard bath, and he
was bathed up to the knoes for several
minutes. While taking his bath, the
fever, now rapidly coming on, unloosed
his tongue, and the poor fellow rattled on
in the most excited manner upon all sorts
of subjects, both grave and comic. Evi
dently growing worse, however, an
emetic was administered, and his stomach
relieved of the undigested remains of a
hearty dinner. Then he was put to bed,
and before midnight such a fever set in ns
the writer, who was present, hod never
seen before. It was like an internal fire,
literally sapping and drying up the foun
tains of life.
The' face was swollen almost to double
its natural sixe, and flaming red. and the
eyes, engorged and of a saffron hue, wore
the most heartrending expression of anx
iety. It was then that the ill man real
ised his situation, and calling for a mir
ror, carefully put back his eyelids and
closely noted the yellow suffusion visible.
The truth was but too apparent, and
like a brave man he prepared to meet the
worst. Physicians were summoned and
his wife and mother sent for. Every
remedy known to the faculty was ex
hausted in vain, and the progress of the
disease was like the irresistible rush of a
prairie fire. A powerful constitution,
great physical strength and mental reso
lution. all succumbed with fearful rapid-
itv before its onward march. _ The breath
of the patient was like molten lava, and
his respirations almost too quick to be
noted. Soon his face grew livid, and
the skin, which at an early stage had
assumed the color of polished copper,
broke out in dark blotches of a mahogany
hue The very springs of life were fast
drying up, and within thirty-six hours
from his attack, the poor sufferer bad
breathed his last. So rapid was the pro
gress of the fever that death claimed its
victim before black vomit had super
vened, and decomposition almost imme-
rtely began its ravages.
This is the fearful disease, kind reader,
which is now spreading death and con
sternation among our countrymen in
Memphis and Shreveport. Let us aid
them all we can. and thank a kind Provi
dence that has ever exempted our own
city, from a soourge so terrible an 1 de-
fowa Central railway, “ and," says the
Herald, “ it is believed that this is the
sink-hole where much of the bank’s money
has gone"—that is, much of Sheffield’s
share of the swag, which amounts to $62.-
000. Even the fact that one of the prin
cipal officers of the bank was engaged in
railway speculations did not seem to
awaken the suspicions of tho credulous
business men of Dubuqne.
Babbage was universally respected,
and enjoyed the public confidence to such
r remarkable degree that a man who had
dared to hint aught against him 41 would
have been hooted out of town."
• Such are the outlines of a failure
,which has no equal in the history of
national, or almost any other, banking.
All is marvelous. It is marvelous that
the only thoroughly rotten bank in - the
city should have all the deposits; that a
condition of entire unsoundness, extend
ing over the Best port of a "decade, should
not be detected; and that tho biggest
thief in the community should turn out
to be tho precise man in whom everybody
liad the utmost reliance.

Messrs. Brown & Co. send us this new
novel, just from the press of the Har
pers, New York city, and credited to the
pen of Mr. Frank Lee Benedict, author
of “ My Daughter Ellinor," and “ Miss
Van Kortland,” two of the cleverest
American stories that have appeared in
many years. Mr. Benedict has kept his
identity hidden until recently, hut
Biirely with no motives of apprehension
or timidity as to his reception by the
public. He has had a very large circle
of readers, and their verdict has been un
usually favorable. His pen is pointed
with a dramatic fervor and grace of dic
tion, an acute perception of human na
ture, a facility of expression and a rare
skill in the construction and develop-
nt of plot that is seldom found among
his class on this side the Atlantic. His
last effort will doubtless add new and
greener laurels to Lis chaplet.
The Responsibility for the Salary-
Grab Charged on President Grant.
Sperisl dispatch to tho Chicago Tribune.
Adrian, Mich.. October 10.—The
Adrian Times and Expositor, the Admin
istration orpin of this "city—of which J.
H. Fee, Postmaster, is editor-in-chief and
joint proprietor—contained a savage at
tack upon Gen. Grant in its issue of this
evening, leaving the whole responsibility
of the salary-steal upon his shoulders.
The following is the opening and conclu
sion of the article: “ Sundry political
conventions have met since the adjourn
ment of Congress, and all, or nearly .all,
have had their say about what is known
as the salary-grab; but none of them on
the Republican side have had the bold
ness to place the responsibility of the
salary bill becoming a law where it prop
erly belongs—with President Grant."
“Weare opposed to the Congressional
feature of the salary bill, and we hope
to see Republicans in every part
of the country denounce not only
the men who aided in the passage of
the measure, but all men who took
the money. It is the part of manhood
and honesty not to forget that President
Grant had it in his power to squelch the
raid on the Treasury, and that he did not
do it; and we fail to see any great differ
ence in point of morality in a Congress
man voting himself $2,500 increase of sal
ary, and a President signing a bill which
gave him an increase of $25,000. This
difference does not exist. A single Con
gressman could not have prevented the
bill beooming-a law; that power did rest
with President Grant. The people will
not adopt a rule for public action which
prescribes penalties for minor official*,
and leaves equally guilty ones of higher
position to go scot free.”
Fee will be feeling for his head just so
soon as that copy of his paper gets to
Washington. Perhaps, though, he has
made as much out of his office as it will
stand without an explosion, and is now
treating himself to an unknown luxury
among his sort, vaz : Telling the truth

High Price for Services.—We have
not suffered with anything like an epi
demic in our city, nor has it been other
than a perfectly healthy season—one of
the healthiest we have ever been blessed
with, and yet we have just heard of a
nurse and a medical man sending in a
bill, one for nursing a patient for about
a couple of hours or more for tho modest
sum of five hundred dollars, and the
other a bill of two hundred dollars* worth
of medical attendance. Now it must be
remembered that the individual who was
fortunate enough to secure the services
of such high-priced attendants is per
fectly able to pay the amount of seven
hundred dollars, and the services of the
attendants may, in their opinion, have
been worth that much money, but, as it
is not customary to pay such a high price
for nurses and medical attendance, the
party against whom these bills have been
made very quietly but decidedly refuses
to pay them.
More Freight Room.—The steamship
RApidan, of the Great Southern Steam
ship Company, for which Messrs. Wilder
A Co. are the agents, arrived yesterday
from New York, for the purpose of load
ing with cotton for that port, the neces
sity for the transportation of cotton hav
ing required the sending out of this extra
steamer.
Large Cargo.—The schooner Thomas
D. Harrison, Captain Crossman, cleared
yesterday for New York, with 352,402 feet
of lumber. This will be the largest cargo
of lumber taken by any fore and aft ves
sel from Savannah within the recollection
of prominent shipping men. The Harri
son is a new vessel of 512 tons burthen,
and is said to be the largest vessel of that
rig (schooner) that has entered this port.
According to a report made to the Sa
vannah Chamber of Commerce last week,
the annual imports of foreign goods to
that port, amount to about $2,500,000
of which alxmt $1,500,000 are in dry
goods ^ iron plates and rails $273,6S3;
pig iron, $100,000; drugs, etc., $200,000;
earthenware, china and glass, $65,000;
jeweller’s goods, $50,000; tin plate, $90,-

$75,000.
Bi3n »p Gross delivered a lecture on
Saturday at Augusta, for the benefit of
the “Young Men’s Catholic Society," of

Theobold Mathew, the Apostle of Tem

tinelsays:
Prefacing his lecture by stating that
two men. Daniel O'Connell and Father
Matthew, had seemed to have been spe
cially and providentially raised up to aid
the Irish people, the speaker, after pay
ing a just tribute to O’Connell, which
provoked load applause, gave a glowing
and most interesting history of the life
and character of Father Matthew, the
great Apostle of Temperance. He show
ed how vast were the results which had
been accomplished by him. how many
homes had been saved from desolation,
and human beings preserved from tho
great enemy, drunkenness, as. brands
plucked from the burning, by his grand
efforts in the cause of temperance. Nor,
said the Bishop, is his work over. The
ball put in motion by hi*n is rolling still,
gathering strength as it proceeds, and
the numbers of the advocates of temper
ance, the members of societies, are daily
increasing, They are numbered by thou
sands and tens of thousands. Charity,
humility and modesty, he said, were dis
tinguishing characteristics of Father
Matthew. In concluding his lecture,
which was listened to with the most
marked attention throughout. Bishop
Gross called upon the young men in the
audience to draw a moral from the life
and character of Father Matthew, and
remember that none were too humble to
do some good in the world. The 'occasion
of the lecture was most opportune, being
the anniversary of the birth of Father
Matthew.
The Atlanta Public Schools.—From
the report of Mr. Mallon, superintendent
of the Atlanta Public Schools, published
in the Constitution, yesterday, we make
some extracts of general interest. During
the year ending August 31st, 1873, the
total number of pupils enrolled was 3,594
against 2,842 the first year of the schools,
the average daily attendance being 2,268.
There are ten schools and fifty-seven
teachers, and the total expenses for the
past year were $49,956, the teachers’ sal
aries amounting to $40,851. The cost
per annum for each scholar for instruc-
I tion was $15,00, and the cost per scholar,
j including all expenses, $18,29. The total
When the Expedition rendezvoused at ; that he should consider the prisoner’s re-
l*oth the infantry and cavalry , sponsibilily commenced with the 12th
sutlers ma<ie extensive additions to their | c f August. He, however, put several
stocks. The latter added an extra amount
of commissary whisky. After being some
days on the’ march, Gen. Stanley found
that the sutler was issuing whisky in too
lai«re quantities, and so he ordered Lieut.
Ray, officer of the day, to hunt up the
whisky and* destroy it, which was done.
This circumstance gave rise to the sensa
tional paragraph, sent back by a corres
pondent, that Stanley and Custer had had
words, and that the latter had been sent
to the rear.* Gen. Custer positively de
nies anything of the kind, though he did
think that, as the sutler was attached to
his command, the order for the spilling of
the whilky should haft* come through
him. But the following is one of the un
published notes:
within twelve hours
after the whisky was spilled on the alkali
plain, Lieut. Fred. Grant became dis
gusted and left the expedition. There
are vindictive opponents of “the Govern
ment” who put this and that together,
and talk sharply. It’s none of my busi
ness to make deductions. The officer
who told me this said he only regretted
that he himself was not “a son of the Gov
ernment,” so he could have come back,
too.

Preaching at the State Fair.
Perrt, Ga., October 13, 1873.
To Mayor Huff:
Sir : While making arrangements for
other things, it is especially suggested
that provision be made for the preaching
of the gospel daily. Among the -multi
tudes who will attend on that occasion
there will donbtless be many who would
gladly turn aside and listen to the word
of life. It is hoped your city pastors
would lend their aid in thus sowing “ the
good seed of the kingdom,” and that
other ministers, at the instance of ^ the
Mayor, would take part in such services.
It would be a fine opportunity also for
the distribution of religious tracts, etc.

The ravenous tiger that swallowed his
keeper in London last year has ji&t been
making another rumpus in an English
menagerie. There was great consterna
tion in the tent when it was discovered
that the animal had reached through the
bars of his cage and got hold of a small
boy that had been poking him with a
sharp stick. Tho tiger was infuriated,
and was making strenous efforts to draw
the lad through the bars of the cage. The
beast growled frightfully, and what with
the pitiful cries of the boy, the shouts of
the men, and the screams of half-fainting
women, the scene was one of the most ter
rible description. Some men ran for
hot irons, while others beat the beast
with their stick and umbrellas, and
they did all they could to draw the
brute from its helpless victim. Ul
timately, after a severe mauling, the
animal relinquished it* prey, and the boy,
helpless and faint t • rough the loss of
blood from the injuries he luul received,
was borne away through the crowd. His
wounds, upon being dressed, apj>eared to
be of a-serious nature, though they are
not likely to prove fatal. The brute
seems to have caught its victim just be
low the elbow, and tore a deep lump of
flesh right down the forearm to the wrist.
There is also a deep gash in the.palm of
the left hand, from which the hemorrhage
is great. The patient lies in great pain,
and it is feared he will not recover the
perfect use of his arm. One of the keep
ers has also been seriously injured. He
was struck by one of the elephants, and
•his ribs were smashed in.

The Southern Canals.—It is stated
the Senate Committee on Transportation
have agreed to report in favor of three
general water routes; one Northern, one
Southern, and one Middle. The choice
of the location of each water route* has not
been determined. The canal proposi
tions from the extreme South come up in
so unsatisfactory a shape that the com
mittee will probably confine itself to re
commending a short canal around the
mouth of the Mississippi. The prefer
ence of the committee is reported to he
in favor of the James river and Kanawa
canal for the central route. The North
ern interests are so conflicting that the
committee are much perplexed how to
make a choice between them. Such are
the reports in circulation, but it is proba
ble that they embody the present drifts
of the views of the committee, and not any
final determination.
The personal examination by the com
mittee is still incomplete, and it is not
likely that they will finish before Novem
ber.

questions in regard to events before that ^ ^

then resolved that his army should be
brought to the walls of Metz, and the,
movement in that direction began the
11th. After reaching the city ho re
Insurgents of .Cartagena attribute
the defeat of their squadron solely to the
cowardice of Con terns, who ordered a re
treat against the wishes of the crews.
They declire that he will not be suffered
to command the fleet again. Their ves-
d no orders to obtain ammunition. He gels sailed out of the harbor to-day for the
complained of carelessness of intelligence
in the service. He did not receive pre
cise information of McMahon s situation
.until the 13th, and orders to throw a
bridge across the Mozelle reached him
onlv the day before.
He denied that he could be held re
sponsible for the delay and subsequent
failure to destroy the bridges to pre
vent the enemy’s pursuit.
Telegraphic dispatches were read,
showing that Bazaine intended to coun
teract the flank movement of the Ger
mans, but the Emperor prevented him
from carrying out his plans.
The Marshal, in answer to further
questions, especially concerning the 15th
of August, stated that he agreed with
the Emperor to march to Verdun, but the
delay was caused by battle, and he was
otherwise hindered. He was unaware
that the-Emperor intended to*depart
from Metz. He declared that the Em
peror left no special orders. ^ It was well
understood, however, that in the event
of a strong resistance the army was tore-
main at Metz a few days, and not go be
yond Verdun in any case.
After the battle of the 16th, Leboeup
and Conrobut agreed with him that it
was impossible to advance. Responsible
officers informed him his supplies were
insufficient. . „ ..
He said that he gave Conrobut all the
aid ho asked at St Privat. He blamed
L’Admirault for pot calling up reserves.
In justification of his conduct of the
18th of August, he cited orders he had
received to be cautious. # .
The accused betrayed much excitement
at the beginning qf his examination,
which was long and searching.

How Chandler was Picked Up.—The
Fredericksburg Herald says; In his har
angue at King George Court-houre, last
week, Chandler spoke in exalted terms of
the laborer and of the negro, who he
sought to show was an equal, and ought
not to be looked down upon. A quiet
chap in the audience, who looked meek as
Moses and innocent as a dove, interrupted
Chandler, and asked if he (Chandler)
thought a poor white laboring man was
as good as himself. Promptly Chandler
responded in the affirmative. Quickly this
was followed up by a query as to whet er
Chandler thought a negro as good as him
self. This was a stunner, and fairly
knocked the ready Chandler off his pegs,
but he had to face the music, and re- inability to supply them
