The Banks of New York—lnteresting
Statistics—The Democratic Opportu
nity.
When Senator Bayard was in this
city he dwelt upon the fact that the
Savings Banks of the East held an
amount of deposits, mainly from labor
ing men and women, of almost fabu
lous magnitude. The coming winter
will test these institutions to the ut
most ; for when people get out of employ
ment, and many thousands will be thus
fated, they are compelled to encroach
upon their little hoard in the bank. It
would be worth knowing, too, how
deeply these Savings Banks have in
vested in second mortgages, which, as
Mr. Bayard grimly remarked, were not
now worth the paper upon which they
were written. To get an idea of the
entire system and its grand aggregate
of capital, one need but take New York
city as an illustration.
The New Orleans Times has been
delving in this rich mine, and brings to
light the subjoined interesting details :
“The capital of the public banks of
New York city 16 885,000,000. This in
cludes the old State organizations and
the later National Banks. The one of
the largest capital Is the (national)
Bank of Commerce, which has $10,000,-
000. The greater part of its stock is
owned by Robert Lenox Kennedy, the
President The most prosperous of
them is the City (national) Bank, of
which Moses Taylor is President and
almost entire owner. Its stock is now
worth 300, or 200 above par.
“The richest bank in New York is
the Chemical. This was established
years ago by a family named Jones,
who had made a good deal of money
by the importation of English chemi
cals, and when this bank was chartered
the founders named it the Chemical
Bank.
“ The par value of the shares is SIOO
each ; and they are worth $1,600 in the
stock market; that i9, $1,600 is offered
with no sellers. This institution keeps
the deposits of the old blue-blooded
New Yorkers, such as the Roosevelts,
the Gerards, the Van Rensellaers, and
all the rest of the old-time magnates.
Business Is done in the old-fashioned
sleepy way, no modern emotional
financiering for them. When the war
closed the Chemical had about $150,-
000 of its notes outstanding, which
were called in and redeemed in gold.
“But the New York Savings |Banks
are the most powerful moneyed insti
tutions in that city. Although, they do
not have magnificent offices and
cashiers with hair parted in the mid
dle, resplendent with diamond pins,
they do possess $100,000,000 more
money in deposits, than all the lich
men’s banks on Wall street would
have, if they were pooled together.
There are forty-three of these institu
tions, and most of them are on the
eastern side, or least wealthy portion
of the city, and if those of Brooklyn be
included, there are sixty-one. Nearly
all of these are situated in the Bowery
proper, and are managed by Germans,
generally with the commendable thrift
of that careful and frugal race. On
the first of September, the Savings
Banks had the enormous sum of $225,-
000,000 on deposit and invested. This
amount belonged to 498,000 persons.
The German* are the heaviest deposit
ors, then the Irish—and of these, two
thirds were women.”
It would appear, from the above
statement, that, in New York, and pre
sumably in all other localities at the
North, the most thrifty population is
that either foreign-born or of alien ex
traction. If this be true, and the evi
dence is apparently convincing, it will
not be many years before the immedi
ate descendants of the Celt and Saxon
shall possess this rich inheritance of the
United States. They raise large
families and save much money; and it
would seem to be impossible that the
restless, extravagant and barren stock
of “natives” can hope to hold their
own for any lengthened period, against
such prolific and frugal races. It is a
good thing materially that a vigorous
and industrious people should sup
plant a weak and spendthrift class, but
whether it is a good thing, or not, for
our institutions, remains to be seen.
We trust that it is, and, at any rate,
if the country is rapidly drifting into
the European or Asiatic form of govern
ment, something fixed or definite is
better than something fraudulent and
hypocritical.
The Times says that “the French and
Italians who save their money are
about equal in number. The servant
girls alone have $2,000,000 in the banks,
and the sums amassed by the fruit sel
lers, and kept in the savings banks,
would surprise anyone who believes
them to be a thriftless class.”
From the statistics thus recorded, it
may be easily understood why the cur
rency question is one of considerable
magnitude and of pervading interest.
If financial chaos and a stoppage of
great industries should occur, this
winter ; and if the Savings Banks have
serious withdrawals of their deposits ;
and if their funds have been invested
largely in second-mortgages on real
estate—their future is one of peril. If
such contingencies have any founda
tion, and if Banks can not
stand the apprehended pressure, there
will be, in this country, a social, politi
cal and monetary earthquake never
before known or felt in its history. It is
to be hoped that these forebodings may
prove either unfounded or exaggerated.
It is to be hoped, too, that the next
House of Representatives, so far as the
members are able, will secure the
country at large against any fatality.
If the Democratic majority in the
House will reform in earnest, cut down
expenses, discourage extravagant
schemes, kill the wicked lobby and re
store confidence, their forties and
thofle of their party are made, more
especially if they likewise keep intact
the glorious principles of their organi
zation which have been so shamefully
betrayed in the pa*t.
A Medical Prodigy.
If we are to credit the Memphis Ap
peal, the vicinity of Bartlett, Tennessee,
rejoices in a colored physician whose
feats of medical practice rather throw
into the shade anything attempted by
his white professional brethren. It is
well known that negroes frequently
imagine that they have been “con
jured” by their enemies. At all events,
they get sick in the most surprising
fashion and, it is said, never recover
their health until the spell of the sor
cerer has been, in some way, counter
acted. All reading men know that the
imagination plays curious pranks upon
individuals. We once knew of a colored
woman who was salivated by a bread
pill, having drank freely of water after
taking it, all the while impressed with
the delusion that it was composed of
blue-mass. Men have been pos
sessed of the most whimsical fan
cies. It is related of a French
abbe that he believed a leg of
mutton depended from his nose. A
doctor undertook to cure him in
t.h's wise: He came to the patient
swathed in a huge cloak, beneath
which he had concealed that fragment
of the sheep which the abbe supposed
to ornament or disturb his proboscis.
Going to work secundem artem to
perform the necessary surgical opera
tion, the physician, at the proper time,
deftly jerked the prepared leg from the
unhappy smelling apparatus, and held
it triumphantly before the victim. “Be
hold,” said he, “that incumbrance has
been removed!” But the abbe mourn
fully shook his head and answered;
“Alas! monsieur, there must be some
mistake. The leg of mutton in your hand
is raw, and that which curses me is
cooked!” Had the doctor only known
the “true inwardness” of the abbe’s
protuberance his ruse would no doubt
have been successful; but a failure to
so inform himself caused the whole
proceeding to miscarry.
We could relate numerous instances
showing the singular freaks of morbid
Imagination, some of which ended fa
tally; and we dare say that every phy
sician, not a mere martinet, relies, to
some extent, upon discovering, remov
ing and counteracting the whims of his
sick clients.
But, let us return to our muttons, or
rather to our colored enchanter. We
read, in the paper already mentioned,
that he can take bugs, snakes, lizards,
frogs, toads, terrapins, ground-hogs
and various insects out of his patients,
and effectually undo the devices of the
wicked conjurer that placed them
there ; that he frequently finds about
the bed or corners of the fire-place the
identical blue bottles with which they
were conjured; that he took from one
colored man a worm four feet long,
and extracted from another patient a
great number of black bugs, such as
you see under shocks of corn or wheat.
He took from a lady patient of his
own color a ground-hog that weighed
seven pounds, and from another an
actual live terrapin. His male patients
are more frequently afflicted with
bugs, snakes, toads and such small
things, while the lady patients, poor
oreatures, as is the fate of their sex,
are frequently conjured with more
weighty things.
The name of this wonderful prophet
and necromancer is Dr. Yancey, and he
is said to acknowledge only one rival
] in the profession, old Dr. Longstreet,
j a native African, who once belonged to
| Gen. Longstreet’s father. Of this last
named scientist we learn that he
, “claims to be immediately connected
with the said Gen. Longstreet, and was
! a great rebel when his young master
commanded his famous battalions on
the Confederate side, but is now rather
‘shaky’ on that question. He has un
derstood that his young master ac
knowledged we were wrong, and he is
iuclined to think so, too, and votes that
! way, ‘bress God.’”
' It would appear from the above state
| ment that Dr. Longstreet has as much
j skill in disenchanting himself as he
pretends to have in relieving his fel
low-citizens of Ethiopian descent of
the wiles of the evil eye. We have
seen white men who fancied they had
snakes in their hat, and we know for
certain that they have been rescued
from that brood of ophidians which
are born of the monstrous Ser
pent of the Still. It may be that
the bugs, terrapins, worms, etc., ex
tracted by Dr. Yancey and his
J confrere have some kinship to the mon
strosities which too much benzine or
1 gin-twist occasionally surrounds the
I toper who has fallen over the verge of
i reason and descended to the Hall of
i Eblis. At any rate, these learned doc
tors have the wit to find out before
; hand whether the mutton is cooked or
raw, and how a doctor, black or white,
can butter his bread by ingeniously
adapting bis art to the foliios of man
i kind.
Moody and Sankey—The True Secret
of the Preacher’s Power.
Asa companion piece to what we
to say, on a former occasion,
concerning the problem of Mr. Moody’s
wondrous power over his audiences, we
submit the following article from the
Nashville American:
“There appears to be a general im
pression that his sermons are deficient
in eloquence, lacking in imagination,
and generally in all those powers and
graces which make up oratory. Those
who have given the subject most dis
cussion and analysis agree that their
great power over men is that of touch
ing secret springs in the human heart;
of striking those common chords in
humanity which thrill responsive to the
touch, and give the speaker at once the
mastery of an audience, who feel that
he is en rapport with them and tuned
in unison and perfeclty familiar with
their inmost natures. We are very
much inclined to this view after read
ing the sermon of Mr. Moody at the
Brooklyn Bink. It was plain, de
void of ornament, without senti
ment, lacking in pathos. There was
no effort at reasoning, no attempt at
rhetorical display, no appeal to the
passions, no attempt to arouse the feel
ings by touching upon slumbering
griefs, or awakening forgotten sorrows,
no fiery painting of infernal torments,
resurging flames and fierce fiends, sul
phurous fumes and eternal horrors of
‘sooty cavern,’ and all the ‘hollow deep
of hell,’ awaiting the fall of the ‘hair
huag and breeze-shaken cimeter.’
There was, however, calmly and simply
said, a statement which touched a com
mon chord and went home like an ar
row of conviction to every male breast.
When he said: ‘There is not one of
you who would have his fellow men
know all you know about yourselves—
no, not your dearest friend,’ he was
master of Brooklyn, and when he ad
ded—‘no, not even your wife,’ every
man in Brooklyn felt there is a man
who knows how it is himself.”
The Jewish Messenger, alluding to
the same subject, states that it seems
strange, “ this making of religion an
exhibition, the hiring of a hall, the busy
preparations for a big crowd, the train
ing of a large choir to sing the songs
that the multitude are to join in spon
taneously, the studied simplicity of
the preacher’s platform, the oddity of
the siuger’s manner; but we may be
aDswered that church and synagogue
matters are not conducted on so wide
ly different a fashion— the simplicity of
the one has its counterpart in the gran
deur of the other, powerful preachers,
sweet singers, and improved organs
are employed by the one to attract
worshipers and pew-owners, in just as
marked a manner as the novel fea
tures of the two revivalists are parad
ed in the press to insure crowded audi
ences.” Conceding that it is just as
well to be sileQt on such matters,
the same paper adds : “We give the
two enterprising gentlemen the credit
of being honest in their intentions,
earnest in their work, and, as the past
has proved, disinterested in the pe
cuniary results of their vast undertak
ing. Would that we could say the
same of all our deacons and trustees,
pastors and rabbis.”
Mr. Moody appears to be a species
of modern Savonarola, without that
! illustrious Italian’s scholastic training.
We trust that he will be content to
| imitate what was precious in that great
! and unfortunate preacher, and have
: the grace and prudence to avoid the
delusions and errors of his latter days.
Liberia.— Aneut the Liberian ques
j tiou, the Louisville Courier-Journal
i thus discourses : “ The Grebos, it is
reported, have whipped the Liberian
troops and captured three of their
guns. This is pretty good evidence
that the Grebos are bent on repudiat
ing the deed of cession of Cape Palmas
lands, made in 1834 by the three negro
kiugs, Parm a, Weak Boleo and Baphro.
The story of the defeat, may, however,
be a put up job to further the plans of
the Administration at Washington, set
forth in the organs of that city, to send
a man of war to bolster up the Liberian
Government. If the story is true, it
will doubtless throw cold water on the
regular expedition which leaves Balti
more this month for Liberia. Quite a
number of emigrants are booked for
the African republic,”
Bismarck.—According to current gos
sip Prince Bismarck’s sickness has been
much intensified in consequence of the
illuess of his proposed son-in-law, and
the death, by an accidental gunshot
wound, of his favorite body-servant,
Heinrich Niedergesaess, who has, for
ten years past, been in the Chancel
lor’s service and eDjoyed his entire con
fidence.

The doctors were just as polite and
gentle in those pioneer days as they
are now, and, catching the spirit of the
rapidly growing country, they felt that
time was the great desideratum. A
doctor living in Macomb county, when
called upon to' set a broken leg for a
laboring man, examined the limb and
said: “If I set this limb, it will be five
or six months before you can walk. If
I saw it off and make a wooden leg,
you’ll be out splitting rails in less than
three months.” The man declined the
generous offer, and the doctor sighed
drearily as he rolled down his shirt
sleeves.— Detroit Free Frets.

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
m:ind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angei to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, anti
so far is it indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Films, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
!
MUST be those afflicted with Consump
tlon, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872.
Dr. T t jtt In gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant, I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wi'h great difficulty of
breathing. I was Induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am now per
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I began its use. and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have,lung
or throat disease. Very respectfully,
Mbs. A. M. Wellborn.
