Supporting Home Institutions.
Mr. Editor; Every day the fact is
dinned into our ears that money is
scarce, and iittle or no work on hand
in our various places of business.
Shall I tell you of one cause for this?
A friend has just shown me a note
head, of which 6,000 copies have re
cently been printed in Charleston, S. C.,
for a bank in Augusta, Ga.
Again, a grocery store, which is de
pendent on the retail trade of this city
for its support, actually paid to a house
iu Detroit, Michigan, §250 for one or
der of printing.
I will guarantee that any printing
office in Augusta would gladly dupli
cate either of the above orders, at
same price paid in Charleston, or De
troit, thereby saving freights, and
what is of more importance, keeping
the money in Augusta; thus enabling
the printers to deposit part of it, and
buy groceries with the remainder.
I have never yet seen a printing or
binding bill dope at the North or West,
which could not be executed just as
low in Augusta, Georgia.
Many, very many, of our business
men (including banks and railroads)
send thousands of dollars worth of
printing, ruling and bookbinding away
from this city, annually, every dollar of
which should and could be spent here,
thus indirectly and directly increasing
the prosperity of our beautiful Augusta.

REPRESENTATIVES ON THE
RAMPAGE.
Butler as tlie Eulogist of His Own
Courage—Poland Declares Himself
to be a Fighting Man.
The following is the New York Tri
bune's report of the “ scene ” in the
National House of Representatives on
last Thursday night:
Messrs. Poland and Butler were dis
cussing which measure, the Arkansas
report or the Force bill, ought to take
precedence, when Gen. Butler said: “ I
don’t believe you have any desire or in
tention to get your resolution upon
Arkansas before the House.” To that
Judge Poland replied : “ You have no
right to say that. What evidence have
you ?”
Gen. Butler—“ None, perhaps, but I
believe it.”
Judge Polaud—“l don’t believe that
you believe what you say you believe.”
Gen. Butler —“ I do believe it.”
Judge Poland—“ I believe that you
are a d—d liar.
Gen. Butler—“ My courage, sir, has
never been impeached. I am quite
able to resent au accusation like that.
You had better be careful.”
Judge Poland—“l don’t think I
have great courage, but I have quite
enough for this occasion. Not much is
needed.”
At this point the two men parted,
and as Judge Poland turned around,
Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, who stood
at his elbow, remarked that he thought
that Judge Poland might have needed
some assistance, and intimated that he
was ready to render it. Mr. Poland
thanked Mr. Lamar very cordially,
but remarked in his very dignified
way, “ I am a fighting man myself,
sir,”
An upright man, who does not want
to be set down as a suicide or a mur
derer, or both, should beware how he
goes to a drug store and asks for five
cents worth of strychnine. It is much
easier to endure the ravages of four or
five hundred rats than to encounter
the terrible eye of a druggist who
thinks he understands human nature.
An Oswego county (N. Y.) paper re
ceived the following notice for publica
tion, signed “Sophia Baker:” “I forbid
any Lady to marry Henry smith for he
is engaged and sent for his intend wife
to Carthage and he has not showed his
face and if he gets married! will arrest
him and put him in stay prison or
$2,000 fine in cash.”

JUDGE M’DONALD’S VIEWS.
An Interview with the New Indiana
Senator—His Opinions of Grant, the
Civil Rights, the Force Bill and the
Presidential Election—“ Hendricks
and Gordon”—The Slate for ’76.
[Special Corresponce of the Courier-Journal
Indianapolis, February 27.
On learning yesterday afternoon that
Senatoi Joseph E. McDonald was going
to leave for Washington this morning,
I called on that gentleman last even
ing and asked him if he had any ob
jection to granting me a few minutes’
conversation in the shape of an inter
view. He replied that he had not, as
the Courier-Journal and your corres
pondent were fairly entitled to any
opinion that he may have that would
interest the public. Knowing that the
Senator’s time was precious, I immed
iately propounded my questions:
“ Senator McDonald,” I asked, “do
you think that Grant is playing for a
third term?”
“Most undoubtedly he is, and has
been for a year. All' his actions go to
prove that, especially his late move in
recognizing Brooks as Governor of Ar
kansas. His idea is to rally the carpet
bag holders with whom he hopes to
ride into power.”
“Do you think he has any show,
even if lie gets the nomination ?”
“ No, sir, I do not. He will not be
able to carry four States in the North.
The people will suffer the written Con
stitution to be violated and all other
written laws, but they never will go
back on tradition. Public sentiment
North and South is now overwhelmingly
against Grant, and it will be stronger
against him two years from now, or
by the next election. He can play his
cards well lor a third term, but ho can
not win. You hear Republicans say
every day that they will never vote
for Grant for the third term. Some of
these men may, and no doubt will,
but yet their remarks show that there
is a strong public sentiment against
the third term policy. Men will never
go back on their traditions.”
“But suppose that Grant gets up a
civil war by his infamous and over
bearing acts; what then?”
“He will not do that. He dare not
do that. He may intimidate, bluster
and make believe that he is going to
get up strife to frighten the people into
the support of his measures, but that is
as far as he will go. When he gets to
the point where there is danger of a
war he will haul in his sails. There is
a certain point to which Grant can go,
and when he reaches that point he will
subside. I have no fears of another
war iu this country, no matter what
Grant may do. The South is too con
servative, patient and heroic, and will
stand the most obnoxious and oppres
sive laws before it will take up arms
again, for they know that in 1876 the
Democratic party will come again in
power, and that they will have all the
rights they are entitled to—the rights
guaranteed to them uuder the Consti
tution, and enjoyed by the people of
the Northern States. The passage of
the civil rights bill
will affect them but little, as you
already have seen, as that bill is virtu
ally passed. The dominant party have
forced that measure upon them more
for the purpose of creating ill-feeling
and bloodshed than for any love they
have for the colored race or any care
they have for their interests. In this
Civil Rights bill they have been so far
most sorely disappointed, for they al
ready see that the people of the South
are not going to allow the bill to dis
turb their relations with the colored
people. And you will find that in a
very few States will the colored man
attempt to exercise the right given
him by that instrument.”
“ Is there nut danger of some of our
Democrats making fools of themselves
in the next Congress ?”
“ Yes, there is great danger of that,
as we have such a large majority, and
and oar men have not been in power
for so long, and the majority are inex
perienced. It would have been better
if our majority was smaller than it is.
I am sorry Mr. Beck, of Kentucky,
will not be there. He is an able man
and a safe leader. Mr. Niblack will
also be greatly missed. With such
men as Beck and Niblack, Kerr and
Holman, Kentucky and Indiana would
be ably represented. However, we
have a few good and safe men in the
next House, and I hope for the best.
A few young, impulsive and inexpe
rienced Democrats may talk rashly
and wildly about some things, but they
will be held down by older and wiser
heads.”
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
“ How long, Senator McDonald, do
you think it will be before politics as
sume a shape so that we can specu
late upon the probable Democratic
nominee for the Presidency next year?”
“It will not be long. Already the
matter is being extensively canvassed.
I am satisfied the nominee this time, to
be successful, must come from the
West. We cannot elect a man from
the North, for the West is tired of
voting for extreme Eastern men. The
last three Presidential Democratic nom
inations have been from New York—
McClellan, Seymour and Greeley. The
next time we must have a Western
man.”
“ Who do you think that will be?”
“It is hard to tell. I think the duty
of Indiana is plain. It should bring
out Mr. Hendricks and earnestly press
his claims. Kentucky ought to go with
Indiana for Mr. Hendricks, and I think
Southern Ohio will. The South will
support Mr. Hendricks, I think.”
“ Won’t ‘ Uncle Billy Allen ’ run ?”
“ I don’t think he will. He ought not
to. If Ohio has a mau it will be Sena
tor Thurman.”
“ Ought the Vice-President to come
from the North?”
“ Yes, I think so. But then it does
not make much difference. If he were
a Southern man he would have to be a
very conservative one. Gordon would
not be a bad selection. We could not
afford to take a man less conservative
than Gordon.”
“ Hendricks and Gordon would be a
strong ticket ?”
“ That ticket, sir, would sweep the
country.”
Roosters, says J osh Billings, are the
pugilists among birds, and, having no
suitable shoulder to strike from, they
strike from the heel. When a rooster
gits whipped' the hens all march off
with the other rooster, if he 'aint half
so big or so hansum. It is pluck that
wins a hen. Roosters, az a class, won’t
do any household work ; yu kan’t git a
rooster tu pay enny attention tew a
young one. They spend most of their
time in crowing and strutting, and once
in a while they find a worm, which they
make a great fuss over, calling their
wives up from a distance, apparently
to treat them, but jist as the hens git
thare this elegant cuss bends over and
gobbles up the worm. Jist like a man
for all the world.
[Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.
New York Banks and Banking.
THE PRESIDENTS.
Of the entire list of sixty-five, .Moses
Taylor, President of the City Bank,
takes precedence. This is not because
of the capital of this institution, for it
is only a million, while the Central Na
tional has three millions, and yet the
latter is a small affair compared with
the former. Its stock is 60, while that
of the City is 300. Mr. Taylor so ma
nipulates his capital that it yields a
very large profit, and this is the secret
of banking. The late Mayor Have
meyer was President of the Bank of
North America, which he managed
with much ability. This city has,with
in a few months, lost three noted Bank
Presidents, one being the late Mayor ;
another was John A. Stevens, of the
Bank of America; and the last was
Shepperd Knapp, of the Mechanics’
Bank, who died on Washington’s birth
day. These men had passed their 80th
year, and retained not only faculties,
but business habitjs until the very last.
Some of our bank Presidents have
sprung from the lowest rank; for in
stance, LeviApgar, of the North River,
was a Jersey grocer, who made a for
tune by a long career of industry, and
thus reached his present position. John
Costrel was a retail grccer until his
wealth placed him at the head of the
Irving Bank. F. A. Palmer, of the
Broadway Bank, was an omnibus pro
prietor. One bank in the city is con
trolled by a man who is not only Pres
ident, but sole owner. This is the Dry
dock Bank, which belongs to George
Law. It is located far up town, and is
of but little note outside its special
range.
BANK CLERKS.
When you consider the variety of
services performed in our banks, it is
surprising that some of these institu
tions employ a hundred, or even more.
When the Bank of New York was the
only institution of the kind in this city,
it had seven employes, including the
cashier, two tellers, the book-keeper,
the discount clerk, the messenger and
the porter. At present its pay list is
nearly ten times as large. At that time
business was done in an old-fashioned
manner. The bank opened at 10 and
closed at 1. Two hours were allowed
for a square meal at home, and from 3
till 5 the bank was again open. Al
most the whole of the population lived
within half a mile of Wall street, and
such a convenient system was practi
cable. Among the features of that
time was the rule that no discount
should be over forty-five days, and no
note should be discounted in order to
pay a former one. To return to bank
clerks, it may bo observed that instead
of the seven servants of the Bank of
New York, this city now contains not
less than three thousand of this class,
few of which receive adequate salaries.
This cannot excuse, but it may explain
the frequent defalcations. There is
hardly a bank of any importance that
has not been robbed by its clerks, and
I do not believe that there is one in
this city in which there is not some se
cret defalcation at the present time.
The temptation is great, and the fa
cility for concealment adds to its force.
If indeed there be a tempted class, it is
found in this array of banK clerks.
SALARIES.
The cashier receives from §5,000 to
SB,OOO. but the office of President is
often considered honorary. This is but
another term to express the facility
for Ailing one’s purse furnished by
such a gratuitous berth. Any bank
president who improves his opportu
nity may make the office worth $lO,-
000 a year. The paying teller receives
from $3,500 to $4,000. It is useless to
place him lower than this, because he
will steal enough to make up the dif
ference. The receiving teller should re
ceive the same pay for a similar rea
son. Some of these receiving tellers
eke out their salary by serving at the
ticket offices of our theaters. They
are good judges of money, and as at
such places counterfeit currency is
offered, their services are of value* A
North river grocer Who dealt at a cer
tain bank, and knew the receiving tel
ler intimately, once went to the the
ater and was astonished to see his
friend stationed in the ticket office.
He then learned that for years
the man had gone from the bank
to the theater and spent an hour in
this service before going home. The
fee for that hour paid his house rent.
Book-keepers receive $1,500, which is
no more than enough to support a
bachelor. No can can think of setting
up his household gods on such a pit
tance, and yet there is a continued rush
to obtain bank appointments. Every
director has his list of applicants, and
for every prospective vacancy there are
a hundred candidates. In London
superannuated clerks are pensioned.
This should also be the rule in this
city, but on the contrary, a wornout
clerk is turned away to take his chance.
The only exception that I have ever
known was that of the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company. When their
Treasurer, Isaac N. Seymour, retired,
after a term of service which lasted
more than a third of a century, an
annuity of $2,000 was granted him,
and was continued until his death.
THE DEAD FINANCIER.
Shepherd Knapp, of whose death I
have spokeu, was a native of Massa
chusetts, and came to New York when
a mere lad, to seek his fortune”. He
became a great leather dealer in “ the
Swamp*” and then was made President
of the Mechanics’ Bank. AU the ele
ments of success centered in his per
son. He was robust in form, honest,
determined and far-seeing, and these
faculties enabled him to pass through
a half dozen panics unscathed—the
last hemp the most severe. Among his
early associates who have attained
great wealth was A. E. Eno, the ownei
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, who began
poor, but is now worth two millions.
Other successful names of these Yan
kee adventurers might be added. They
made money because they avoided ex
travagance on the one hand and spec
ulation on the other. Knapp was a
plodder, but this expression refers only
to the regular system by which he
moved. He made money from the
time he was a clerk, but the rapidity
of his profits increased as he grew old,
until the plodder became the million
aire. Plodders of the most patient
kind are the ones to succeed here.
Knickerbocker.
Susan B. Anthony is a maiden sister
of Mark, and came oyer to this coun
try because of mortification growing
out of her brother,s naughty behavior
in the Cleopatra affair, thus anticipat
ing Columbus iu the discovery of
America by about fifteen hundred
years.
