AUGUSTA, GA.,:
Friday Morning, October, 1, 1875.
An Elastic Title —What “Company’
Means Sometimes.
An old lawyer once told us that he
had a case in bankruptcy which annoy
ed him exceedingly. One oE the
points of disgruntlement was his
inability to find out the “company”
of the broken firm. At last the peti
tioner for discharge from debt agreed
to throw some light on the dark sub
ject, and did so as follows : He said :
“You see, Judge, I was brought up in
the city of Blank by Mr. Blank, one of
the soundest merchants in that place.
He one day called me aside, and thus
spoke: ‘Squibob, my dear fellow, you
may, at a future period, go into busi
ness for yourself. Now, let me give
you a dqt or two which may serve to
make success a certainty. Never take
a partner, but always impose upon the
world that you have one, and that he is
rich and mysterious. Let your shop
sign be blazoned with the gilded letters
of Squibob & Cos., and so conduct your
external affairs that the people will con
fidently believe in the existence of your
colleague. The wisdom of thi3 course
is plain. Men in this country are great
borrowers of money. Borrow all you can
from commercial friends, but never lend
if you can help it, and only on security
which would make a Rothschild weep
for joy. The way to avoid letting
your cash go to fish} members of the
trade is an easy one. Say to the appli
cant for a loan that you are more than
anxious to oblige him, but, in arti
cles of copartnership with the “com
pany,” it was expressly stipulated that
no funds should be loaned without his
permission. Say too that you must
see the “company” and secure the ne
cessary authority, and if the beseech
ing merchant can call on the mor
row, an answer will be ready. You
must, my son, when that man
calls again, as he is certain to do, put
your face in mourning, your eye 9
should be steeped in tears crocodilian,
your tfoice may be modulated to the
wail of a despairing spirit—no chief
mourner, well-paid for first-class grief
at an English funeral procession,
should surpass the melancholy of your
wholesale demeanor. Thus equipped
for the contest, take the hand of the
would-be borrower in your clammy
palms, and, in tones of sympathetic
woe, each syllable a broken heart, in
form him that the “company,” an iron
hearted and penurious Croesus, posi
tively refuses to grant a favor which
has been pleaded for on bended knees.
Observe, my dear Squibob, that, by this
dramatic process, you save your cash
and yet do not utterly risk the
friendship of your petitioner. He
will go from Dan to Beersheba pro
claiming your tenderness of soul and
excoriating the hard destiny which
binds so noble a man as yourself to
such a monster as the “company.”
When you have seen the last of your
applicant, retire to the back part of the
store, mix a first-class cocktail, and,
with a countenance beaming with satis
faction, drink to the health of that
mythical man who has saved you from
a possible and, I may say, probable,
loss.”
Such was the explanation vouchsafed
the Judge, and if it would not shock
cars polite we might record his excla
mation at the close. Suffice it that he
formed an opinion of that sagacious
client and ejaculated it audibly in
terms more sonorous than classical.
We were reminded of this anecdote
by reading the subjoined paragraph
taken from the New York Evening
Post:
It was not known in commercial circles
in 1869 that Mr. Benjamin H. CHEEVERand
Mr. James Van Buben composed the
“Company” in the Banking firm of Henry
Clews & Cos. Yet it appears from papers
produced in the bankruptcy proceedings of
that house that on the 27th of March, in
the year aforesaid, the firm agreed in
writing to pay Cheeveb and Van Buren
one-quarter each of the profits which
would accrue from the firm’s being “ap
pointed by the United (States Government
its financial agents in London, Paris or
Frankfort.” On the 29th of the same month
and year the firm agreed to pay to Chee
ver and Van Buren one-quarter each of
the profits accruing in like manner from
its appointment as agents in New York or
any other city or town in the United
States. Cheeveb, who is said to be a Wash
ington lobbyist, claims $290,000 lor him
self and Van Buren under the agreement.
The members of the firm should lose no
time in explaining this curious partner
ship transaction.
The gentle reader may judge for him
self how many crimes are committed iu
the name of “company.” Here we have
a banking firm that negotiated mil
lions of securities, and was, in high Re
publican circles, deemed of sufficient
importance to succeed the Barings of
London as financial agent of the Uni
ted States. And now that the bladder
has been pricked and the gas bag ex
ploded, what a stench is emitted ! The
books of the concern are valueless as
records of business transactions/and a
“company” pops up, in Mephistophe
lean proportions, whose very existence
no human being outside the ring ever
suspected. Is it any wonder that, so
frequently confronted with such atro
cious deceptions, the stern moralist
should thus expatiate:
“ ‘Money, if thou canst, by fair means;
if not, by any means whatever, money'
—is also the standing indictment
against the present age. And in the
hot pursuit, the race after gold, men
throw away, one after the other, all the
restraints and decencies of an honest
and virtuous life, just as a swimmer ‘in
his agony’ strips himself of anything
that might clog his desperate efforts to
reach the desired goal. Rome, in the
days of its luxurious excess, listened
neither to the moralities of Seneca nor
the satires of Juvenal; and the de
baucheries and follies which resulted
in the French Revolution were wholly
unchecked by the speculations of the
Encyclopedists. And it is the misfor
tune of society that those who should
guide and purify it are too apt to minis
ter to its weakness, are too easily sway
ed by its luxurious influences; so that
theagevhioh neglects a Milton fos
ters a Suckling, a Sedley, and a Con
greve. The ‘higher culture,’ indeed, j
may rise above the contagion, but then
society pays no attention to its profes
sors.”
True every word of it. The most
dreadful apprehension in this day is
not the wreck of fortunes so much as
the abasement of good reputations.
The most appalling prospect in this
country is not the loss of its gold but
the decadence of its morals.
The History of Banking—Whither
are We Drifting ?
The first bank established in Europe
was at Venice in 1171, which owed its
origin and existence to continuous wars
forcing upon the Government the ne
cessity of obtaining means for conduct
ing them. This institution was for
many ages the admiration of Europe,
and was sufficient for Government
and commercial purposes, when the
Venetians were not surpassed by any
nation in Europe for their trade and
commerce. We are assured that so
thoroughly and honestly was the man
agement of this bank conducted that
transferred deposits commanded a
premium over coin, and thus, with but
few interruptions, existed this first
European bank up to 1797, when it fell
along with the Republic by the Revo
lutionary army of France.
In 1401 is recorded the establishment
of the Bank of Barcelona. Here was
first instituted the system of negotia
ting bills of exchange. Some 208 years
later the Bank of Amsterdam was
founded. Being only a bank of de
posit, the object of this institution was
to give a standard value to bills which
might be drawn upon Amsterdam, ren
dered necessary by depreciation of
coin from clipping or friction. Mere
these coins were received on deposit,
and their value established by weight
and fineness. Passing to other Euro
pean banks which were established at
intervals up to 1694, we have in that
year the creation of the Bank of Eng
land, with a capital of £1,200,000. This
unequalled institution was the result of
necessity, growing out of an exhaust
ing war with France. With many
checks and suspensions it has
steadily increased in capital and
power, and is now the centre of
the world’s finances. As our object is
merely to give facts for those who have
time and disposition to eliminate them,
we will pass on to February 26, 1797,
when the bank was forced by an order
of the Government to cease paying
coin. Notes of one pound sterling were
then issued by the bank. This suspen
sion was regarded necessary to prevent
the ruin of the bank, and was the sal
vation of the business interests of the
kingdom. In May, 1823, the resump
tion of specie payments occurred for
which preparation had been made for
four years. This resulted in wide
spread ruin and disaster of which wo
cannot now read without most painful
feelings. This resulted too when gold
was at the .following rates of premium:
1816, 2 % per cent.; 1817, 21818, 5;
1819, 6}£; 1819 and 1820, par. During
the past 39 years, the Bank of England
has been forced intoj suspension three
time, first October 25, 1847, second No
vember 12, 1857, third May 11, 1866.
These suspensions were of short dura
tion and did not in the least impair
public confidence iu the founders and
ability of the institution. *
Now, if widespread ruin followed re
sumption of this great bank iD 1823,
when gold was an average of 3 per
cent, premium, and the issues of the
bank not more than 3 to 1 above coin
in its vaults, can we be surprised at the
precaution of moneyed institutions in
the United States, since the passage of
the insane law of Congress fixing 1879
as a period of resumptioL for the Gov
ernment and national banks, or at the
unparalleled depression and ruin which
from this cause alone has come upon
the whole country ? How can we re
sume specie payment with issues out
standing of $852,000,000, and coin avail
able to redeem with of 890,000,000,
and with gold to-day at a premium
of 17 % per cent, in New York ? It will
require more generosity and less ava
rice than has ever been evinced by
a mixed population like ours who, to
an alarming degree, bow more fre
quently and reverently to the Golden
Calf than to the Lord of Heaven and
Earth.
“ Breaking the Color Line”—The Slo
gan of the Charlatan.
It is true that the modern humorist
has shown that a leopard can change
his spots, by moving from one corner
of his cage to another, and Nature in
one of her freaks, now and then,
bleaches the negro into a repulsive
caricature of the Caucasian ; but the
“ true inwardness ” of beast and Ethi
opian is not destroyed by a witticism
or a monstrosity.
We hear a vast deal now-a-day about
“ breaking the color line,” as applied
to the whites and blacks. This cry
usually proceeds from our Northern
friends, whose fanatical ideas are now
being pushed to a conclusion which they
little dreamed of when they started
their Abolition and Reconstruction cru
sade against the South. There never
was a greater fallacy or a greater sin
against society than tho attempt, by
propagandism, warfare and special leg
islation, to make the world admit that
an Ethiopian is only a black white
man, and that he should bo subject to
the same ethnological laws. True, na
ture, experience, history and science
are opposed to this madness ; but it is
still claimed by a powerful organiza
tion, who have inherited the wolfish
ness of Robespierre and tho folly of
the so-called “friends of the blacks.”
The fate of the West Indies,
the rottenness of South American and
Mexican civilization, the long night of
Congo barbarism and dying declara
tions of Livingstone ought to count for
something; but an insane prejudice Is
hard 4 to extirpate since it has a root as
stubborn and tenacious a3 that of the
scrub-palmetto.
The direful financial experience now
pursuing the people of the North, lik9
an avenging Nemesis, is rapidly driving
the thoughts of that region into horror
and wrath against such philosophers as
Sumner, Garrison, ; Phillips and the
black host of Radicals whose pet
theory, once so popular, is now turning
to dust and ashes.
We see glimpses of this in the New
York Methodist, which recently, treat
ing of color and fraternity, says :
There is just as much “caste” —to use the
cant phrase—in one section as in the other,
because the same cause produces it. Race
lines are, so far as this generation is con
cerned, matters of Providence; we did not
make them, but something within us
prompts us to respect them. We do not as
sociate with the Chinese, and they do not
associate with us. The fact in no' way im
peaches the sincerity of our efforts to evan
gelize either race. We have lived in a town
where nearly.everybody voted and talked the
most radical politics ; but if a colored man
moved into a street, properly fell twenty-five
per cent. The people who are “putting
down caste” differ from their fellows only
in having rather more of the color-phobia.
The fact is, many ignorant and well
meaning persona have been led into a
grievous error with regard to race dis
tinctions, so far as theory is concerned,
but when tho case was brought home
to them practically the voice of nature
was stronger than a religious or po
litical ideality. At the rate with which
panics, corruptions and enormous pro
perty shrinkages are menacing the peo
ple of the country, and the Govern
ment itself, we can confidently look for
a reaction in public sentiment which
may make Sumner’s grave less sacred
than he thought it would be, and Wen
dell Phillip’s life a dangerous risk.

Bones of contention—Guibord’s.
The St. Louis Republican thinks milk
adulterators should be crem-ated.
The masses procure their opinions
ready-made in open market.
The Grand Duke Alexis is now pro

An Illinois paper makes its death
column more interesting by publishing
a “ sick list ” several days in advance.
An American girl won the gold medal

We know a fellow who has become so
nervous from coloring his hair that he
can’t keep still long enough to pay his
debts.
Of the entire population of London,
it is estimated that over one-fourth, or
ono million of people, never attend

There’s pluck for you. An Ohio wo

chances of success and failure.
It is believed in many circles abroad
that Pere Hyacinthe will go back to
the Pope and the Church of Rome very
dissatisfied with all other parties.
Madame Nilsson’s voice is all right,
and the man who set afloat the story
that it sounded like a sheep-bell won’t
receive any complimentary tickets
when she returns to America.
“Who was the first man?” Head
scholar—“ Washington; he was the first

How vain it is for a bootmaker to
think that he will ever reach a better
world when the cry of “ouch !” from a

ascends hourly.—[Detroit Free Press.
An Arab chief at tho Marseilles
Opera House admired the trombone
player, expressing his wonder “to see
that Christian swallow so much brass.
I cannot yet comprehend where he puts

A St. Louis burglar says he’d rather
encounter four watch-dogs around a
house than one old maid, and Anna
Dickinson has gone down there to give
him a piece of her mind.
The rash suggestion is made by the
Troy Times that the girls ought to get
some clothes to wear over those
dresses. And now we suppose some
body will insist that the Greek slave be
properly—or perhaps improperly—
clothed— [Rochester Chronicle.
They say that the ladies now propose
to introduce a style of dress sprinkled
profusely with lions, tigers, panthers,

No matter. They frighten the men
