Resumption by the New York banks is an important step in the restoration of confidence, and this can only be accom plished by giving up the present system of pooling greenbacks which has always been on injustice to strong banks able to take care of themselves. These banks have carried safely through the recent panic about a dozen weak bonks and it is but natural that they should desire re sumption. These weak banks wonld no doubt bo called on to liouidate largely in consequence of the withdrawal of deposits and cancellation of accounts, and possibly loose from the lever.

Mixed Schools in Washington Crr..-— The Cincinnati Commercial’s Washington correspondent telegraphs that the late election for delegates to the territorial Legislature in that city settled the ques tion of mixed schools >0 far as Washing ton is concerned. In every district, the candidates known to favor such a policy were defeated, though the Radicals and negroes elected twenty of the twenty- two members composing the Legislature. General Mantkcffel, who command ed the German army of occupation in France, bos just boon made a field mar shal. Although sixty, he is the youngest of the Gorman field marshals if the Crown Prince of Prussia and Saxony and Prince Frederick Charles be excepted.

This compound is the only commercial manure of foreign origin whose merits are so incontestable that the proprietors are even willing to risk a market for it across the ocean. For a quarter of a century it has been in general use in Great Britain, contribu ting not a little to tho far-famed fertility of the soil, and the exuberant crops of the United Kingdom. Highly recommended for the cereals, it is believed to be equally valuable in the pro luction of cotton, and. indeed, is warrants by the manufactur ers. The only hope for the South lies in the continued ownership and preservation of her broad acres, so that they may be handed down unimpaired in value to suc ceeding generations. But this can only be effected by the application of proper fertilizers. Heneo the importance of pro curing those which have withstood the test of time, and are knoica to be pure.

The Result lu Ohio, and How it Happened The Cincinuati Commercial in its issue of Thursday, lifts this to say of the result of the election in Ohio on last Tuesday. The Commercial supported tho “People's** ticket during the canvass : Perhaps the official returns will bo re quired to determine whether Allen or Noyes is elected Governor of Ohio, but the chances seem in favor of Allen, who has been a man of destiny in close votes; having but one majority, it may be re membered, when first elected to Congress. We presume the Sage of Ross has been chosen to appoint Notaries Public, and pardon from the penitentiary repentant sinners blessed with friends. The situa tion is a pleasant one for a statesman who has little ambition to do much, and to horn an official pedestal is an agreeable The re-election of Thurman to the Senate has been secured. That is not nn •iiiiuuca uwfwirwn, m— o^mumu ia a Senator of integrity, said it may do the swarm of carpet-baggers good to continue him among them. There are too many unmitigated partisan Republicans in the Senate already. It is just as well .that no more of the same sort are to be sent there. We should even have preferred tho re-election of Thurman, if he had not made it a condition of his success that the Democratic party should succeed with him. He is the man responsible for tho failure of the New York Convention in 1868 to nominate Chase, and for the fact that the Democratic party in Ohio was not this summer formally dissolved. So Bourbonism seems to be making its appearance’on the surface in Ohio as well as in France. The country will be cu rious about the happening of this thing. Certainly the situation is highly inter esting and events of far greater scope than those that have transpired are likely to come of it. 'Whether Noyes or Allen is declared \c\nner by a few hundred votes, there is a Democratic victory. It is the old jlaj of the old party that has been advanced. The Demosratic bugles will, therefore, be blown along the line, and there will be a grand rally. The claim will be made throughout the country that there ia a great Democratic Revival, and an effort will be made, which will probably succeed, to put the Democratic party into the other campaigns without any abatement of its pretensions to infallibility, and without any entangling alliances with disaffected Republicans, or reformers who seek to prepare the way for their work by the overthrow of the old organi- Fr vnce, too, wants her canals enlarged and new ones opened.

The following dispatch, sent to Rev. J. E. Godfrey & Son by the President of this company, we trust, will effectually put a stop to the damaging rumors and reports regarding its solvency. The Messrs. Godfrey are the general agents for the State of Georgia, and send us also a private note containing the most satisfactory assurances as to the financial status of the company. Hereafter, it is to be hoped that the wrangling among the officials of this Life Insurance Company will cease. Policy holders don't like it, and, moreover, the effect is most damaging in every way to all concerned: St. Louis, October 13th, 1873. J. E. Godfrey $ Son, Agents, St. Louis Hutual Life : Injunction dissolved. Court decided that by plaintiffs* own showing the com pany is solvent. Renewed energy will characterize the efforts of all the officers. The company’s course from this time will be progressive. (Signed) W. J. Lewis, President. about 80 per cent, protestant. The Bible was not read in the school? of Richmond, and he had the assurance of the- board that no religious instruction was given in them. He was not in sympathy with the.yos- olution, nor could he vote for it without stultifying himself, which he did not pro pose to do. Father Phelan, of St. Louis, defended the resolution, and said we have nothing to do with Richmond or its schools. If religious instruction was excluded from them, as Mr. Roily said, they were the most objectionable of all schools. The public men of America were educated in public schools, and were ealiibitions of the system. They were the most corrupt and dishonest of any country in the world. Men can sG'al i:i this country with impunity, provided the amount is large enough. That the children of this country go heels over head to the devil, must be at tributed to the .education they receive in public schools, which does not fit them for the temptations of the world. In these schools men of science are honored and eulogized, but the name of Jesus Christ is not allowed to be men tioned with reverence. These children turn out to be learned horse thieves—scholastic counterfeiters, and well posted in all schemes of deviltry. Mr. Harley, of Pennsylvania, denounced the resolution, as it contemplated a union of Chnrch and State. President Dwyer said the resolution meant no such thing, and he did not wish such impression to get abroad. He ad vised that the resolution be changed so as to simply favor Catholic s bools. Mr. Harley proceeded, and said the Catholics had gained a great victory in driving the Bible out of the public schools. Father Grayain being introduced, said the Church did not drive the Bible out of the public schools. The purpose was to put in their correct version of the Bible and the Catholic caG*cliism. Mr. Harley—Exactly. Now I ask you, is it just or right tiiat wo should intro duce our Catholic catechism among pro- testants, when we will not allow protest- ants, who are in the majority, to use Bi bles in the public schools. Mr. Chance, Delaware, thought this was a fling in the wrong direction. They might favor Catholic schools but they should not denounce protestant schools. Father Butler, of Kansas, thought the resolution went too far. It should not be forgotten that the public schools of this country had served as a model for Catho lic parochial schools, and in that respect ha<i done good. The difference between them was in religion only. Father Phelan again spoke, «nd said he thought the delegates from the East had not studied this subject enough. He frankly confessed the Catholics stood be fore. the country as enemies of public schools and reasons. Therefore this should be stated. He considered these reasons were embodied in the resolutions. They must say, the Catholics would as soon send their children into a pest house, or bury them, as let them go to public schools. They were assured they would lose faith. They were afraid the child who left his home iu the morning would come back with something in its heart os W*u*Jr as helL system to ZSBSSn^'-l'itS r™ J resolution are none too strong. Mr. Chance moved to recommit the resolution with instructions to report one favoring Catholic schools, which was car ried. The following substitute was reported for tho education resolution: That the system of State education now established in most States, by its failure to provide religious instruction for the’ young, and its enlightening head, to the entire neg lect of heart-culture, meets with our un qualified reprobation; tlxat it unjustly taxes a large class of our people who can not, without danger to the faith and morality of their offspring, avail them selves of its advantages. The resolution was adopted unani mously. A. M. Belly, of Richmond, was elected President, and M. J. Griffin, of Philadelphia, Secretary. Affairs in Memphis.

The government had the advantage of possessing cannon, with which they have produced great destruction to many val uable houses. Duiing the continuance of this contest, fortunately, Admiral Almy arrived and hoisted his flag on {he .United States steamer Pensacola. Admiral Zeingun protested a ‘state of transit noo the disordered condition of the city, and there being no national force in the port of Co lumbia, landed 150 men at the railroad station, and afterwords, at request of the government itself, sixty men. with their officers, in the city government, expecting that a general favorable to the rebel party might come across the road sent out a forehand demanded that tie.train should be stopped, and had all p-.ws-engers arched. The Admiral, on ’’-j-iisg. in formed of the daring at tempt on iii free dom of the iiitor-oet*anie transit, oWlfcred that a guard of United States marines should accompany ’each train, and-shoot down any arne 1 men who should en deavor to interfere with it. The inability of the Government to protect the tran ut calls forth much comment. A constitu ent assembly, which was organized to settle matters, has done little else than autho ize a forced loan of $^0.000‘on the city, and $-10,000 on the province. Theslateof affairs unsettles all busi ness in Panama. It is hoped Admiral Almy will not give up possession and protection of the transit until he is sure travel will be no further disturbed. * The Turf.

The sum he declined to pay—though on that eventful night his friends and followers labored with him till midnight to per suade him to do this simple justice—was a million and three-quarters.

C., has received a quasi formal determin ation by the British and American Mixed Commission. This controversy grew out of claims for cotton destroyed in the burning of Columbia, which claims were based upon th© assumption that the city was burned by the Federal soldiers, act ing under the authority of the Federal commanders. The vast mass of testi mony taken on that subject was before the Commission, and after giving it care ful attention every one of these claims were disallowed. The total amount claim ed was between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000. Proposed Governmental Economy. A semi-official statement of the finan ces of the Government concludes: “There is no apprehension that Congress will im pose additional tax to supply supposed or actual deficiencies in receipts, but will rather restrict the appropriations, econo mise limits, and commence no new works that may not be actually needed.*' The Star says the appropriations which Congress will be asked to make at the coming session, including the estimates for the next fiscal year and a very lar *e deficit for the present year, there is rea son to believe, will be greatly in excess of the appropriations for any year since the beginning of President Grant’s ad ministration.

The bishop was murdered in the sacristy of the chapel of St- Jean de Dieu, hav ing been stabbed in the heart and lungs while at prayer. One Emil Pelletur, cousin of the bishop, was charged with the crime and arrested. It is said the crime was incited by the fact that Bishop D eye re inherited all the fortune of Pelle- tur’s father, a wealthy Frenchman. The Stoke’s Case. Some surprise has been caused by the failure of the prosecution in the Stokes case to call the new witness, Mrs. Benton, of whom so much has been said and written. Assistant District Attorney Allen said this morning that the prosecu tion liad never intended to call Mrs. Benton. He said that she was ignorant, or feigned to be ignorant, of certain mat ters with which she was supposed to be familiar, and that, moreover, her charac ter was such that it was undesirable to put her in the witness box.
