A Be view of the bitiuttoB.
A visit to sereral of our banks and spe
cial inquiries addressod to cashiers and
presidents, reveals the pleasing fact that
thure has been no run whatever upon any
of them, hut on the contrary, in some in
stances the deposits up to noon were
considerably greater than the checks,
and they were all, as to assets, never
stronger and mart perfectly solvent.
A better feel' ng in all circles, too, will
prevail when the fact becomes more cer
tain and .latent to observation, that the
South u only affe*’ti*d sympalKetic'iQy by
the New York financial crash. In reality,
her condition was worse of a few months
fcinoe, when po many millions were sunk
upon cotton futures.
At present, everything in the future is
hopeful and full of promise. Of bread,
there will be a greater abundance than at
any period since the war. The‘crops of
rice, sugar cane, potatoes, hay *.nd peas
are heavy without precedent. Our mer
chants are well provided with goods,
either paid ior, or bought' 4> 9ft day* or

and railroad securities, and we have the
whole crop of cotton, worth nedrly f 200,'
000,000 and coming rapidly forward, to
meet al 1 maturing obligations. What bet
ter showing could he asked for?
True, the yield in cotton will be dimin
ished to some extent by the worm, rust
and other causes, bnt the crop will be
fully equal to that of last year, and a
larger volume might have served to de
press prices still further, without any ad- ,
ditional profit to the producer. With
such a condition of things generally, and
the merchants of our own city sound and
staunch as the nock of Gibraltar, the
maintenance of confidence ouly (and there
is really nothing to dt «t irb It i is necessary
to assure perfect mm i*M financial relief

os the needle points to the pole or water

ere long flow to the South, to be ex
changed for her indispensable staple—
that great regulator of all values,
the meantime, let prudence, forbearance
and economy be the watchwords of our
people.
Latex —Our night dispatches announce
the suspension of all the Augusta bank‘d
save the First National. This in true also
of those in New Orleans for the period of
thirty days. It is more than probable
that this wholesale measure was resolved
upon in these cities, to save the credit
perhaps of one or two institutions only,
which were unable to bold out. One bank in
Atlanta also (a small one) has suspended.
In Savannah two of the banka have had
Iwvj runs upon fiwsi, kst so far there
have been no suspensions. Memphis re
ports two suspensions.
In New York up to 3 o’clock r. k. yes
terday. the feeling was decidedly bitter.
Government refuses to do anything
further for tho relief of the financial
situation, and will not touch the reserve
of $-U,000,000 in the Treasury. It is
churned the suspensions in the South are
really no indication of weakness on the
part of the banks, but are merely pruden
tial and precautionary. They all have
ample assets, but the scarcity of currency
is tho trouble. In Charleston there has
been no run on the banks, or suspensions.

block and standstill in tho cotton busi
ness, and trade, of course, sympathises
with tho condition of things. About 80
or 100 bales, however, changed hands in
Macon yesterday. On the whole, tho
prospects of our city are encouraging, and
her banking institutions as stable as any
in the land.
flow Small Grain* ••
The prisongeneral disturbance in
financial affairs, is another admonition to
the fanner that he can, and ought to be,
almost wholly independent within him
self. The merchant, mechanic, banker,
and the representatives of all tho other
trades and professions, are forced to buy
at any figure, every, article that enters
into tho consumption of the household.
Hence, fluctuations in stock, business
panics, and the mutations of commerce,
all affect most sensibly the purse and
prospect* of uon-producers. But the
U nant of his own broad lands, with the
exercise of proper attention and industry,
hr this favored dhnate, may raise all the
necessaries, and many of tho luxuries, of
lift*. Sugar, syrup, lard, bacon, mutton,
poultry, butter, rice, flour, and vegetables
in any variety, are all within his roach.
If tho accursed lust for cotton, and cot
ton only, could be banished, and a diver
sity of crops introduced, including the
culture of fruit, and the grape for wine,
the country would be vastly more inde
pendent and happy.
But the special object of this article, is
to urge upon our planting friends the
importance of putting in overwhelming
crops of oats, rye, Irheat and barley. It
is true our corn crop is above an average,
but it may be doubted whether the
supply is sufficient for the wants of the
State the ensuing year. And with the
large falling off in the yield Of the crop in
Illinois, and the other Western States,
aad diminished acreage besides, those
who are forced to buy may reasonably ex
pect to pay long prices. Now, however,
the remedy is in your own hands if you
will but listen to reason and sow a large
breadth of land in small grain—nop-
rustiug oats especially. Put your rye
aad barley in the ground immediately,
and make both a fall and spring sowing
of oats, so that one or the other may hit
the seasons.
With thu* precaution, next summer
your stock can be subsisted with but lit
tle draught upon the corn crib, and will
be in far b*Uer condition than when
feeding upon scanty rations of Western
corn. This course will also be the saving
of a mint of money to the oouatry, and
may enable many to tide over the next
cropping season, without placing their
necks within the noose of a factor's lien.

Mr. T. C. Hill has been the postmaster
at Hurtrille, Ala., for sereral years. The
L-urt election rcultcd in a victory to the
Radicals and since then that party has
t ried to re-officer the State with men of

eral government appointed n negro,
Treadwell, who had been elected a mem
ber of the Legislature from Bussell coun
ty, postmaster at Hurtrille, hut without
giving Mr. Hill any notice of a change.
Mr. Hill last week, having failed to pro
cure any answers to three letters for
■tamps telegraphed to Washington, and
received in reply the first intimation of
his removal. Ho at once surrendered his
office. He hat been serving since April,
and will not get any pay. The fault is
■aid to be in the government. at Wash
ington. Xo one in Hurtrille will rent
Treadwell an office. He cannot give
bond, and they are afraid of registered
letters disappearing. The contequenoo
is no mails are received or delivered at
Hurtrille. 'Die people have to go to
Ouerryton, five miles below. Hurtrille

day :
Bkutal Mukpeb—One Xeobo Shot
Dead bt Anotbeb — A Woman the
Cause.—Voetcrday afternoon, at a quar
ter after 3 o'clock, the citizens in the
neighborhood of the Central railroad de
pot were startled by the loud report of a
gun, evidently but a short distance off.
A general ru'ah was made for the spot,
where the report' wa* supposed to have
come from, and reaching the entrance to
what is known as Railroad street, a short
street running from West Broad street
along down by the Central railroad pas
senger .shad, the cause of the firing wa*
soon discovered. There lay a negro on
the pavement, near the second or third
gate to the shed, shot dead, a large pool
of warm blood surrounding his head and
still oozing from the wounds. In a very
few minute* the street where the dead
body lay, and also West Qroedstreet,in the
neighborhood of River street, was Crowded
with people.white and black,old and young,
all running over with anxiety to see and
hear everything they could concern
ing the affair. It was soon ascertained
that the roan who had just been killed
wa* named Stephney Williams, a negro
about forty-four or forty-five years of age,
in the employment at Hie time of Messrs.
Moran A Rielly as a drayman, and the
man who committed the deed was named
Cyrus L. Brown, a negro tnirty years old,
in the employment of Capt. H. J. Dick
erson. engaged in loading and unloading
vessels under the bluff. As soon as he
had committed the awful deed'he was
captured by Mr. William Otter man, to
whom he readily surrendered himself, and
hv whom he was subsequently turned
over to policemen M. N. Barry, W. L.
O'Connor and A.' E. Hodges, who were on
the ground a very few' minutes after the
report of the gun was heard. As soon as
possible a reporter of this paper repaired
to the scene of the tragedy and obtained
the following information in regard to the
killing: The negro Stephney Williams
had been far some time having criminal
intercourse with the - wife of Cyrus
Brown, who had suspected the par
ties from the conduct of both Wil
liams and his (Brown’s) wife. He
accordingly put himself in position
to satisfy his mind upon the subject, and
ascertain whether his suspicions were
correct and well founded. With the aid
of a friend he watched them closely, and
on Monday night he discovered that his
suspicions were correct. His wife and
Williams were seen together in a patch of
woods back of Arkwright’s factory. Re
turning to his house he armed himself
with a knife and stick, and calling on
Williams after his return home, he in
formed him of Us discovery, and notified
bi-n that he would give him until the
next (yesterday) morning to leave the
city, and that he should also curry the
woman array with him. That if he did
not comply with his demand he would
kill him on sight. Williams, as the fatal
result shows, did not pay any attention to
the threat, or at least failed to comply
with the demands of Brown, who, as soon
as he bee l ms aware of the fact, armed
himself with s mosket, which he loaded
with a heavy charge of buckshot, and
went in search of Williams. He found
him on his dray, near the corner
of West Broad and Railroad streets.
When Williams saw Brown coming to
wards him with a gun. he attempted to
get oet of his way, but he was already
upon him, and, leveling' the gun at his
head, he fixed when he was within about
twenty puces of him. three or four of the
buckshot mitering the forehead and face
of Willis ms. who fell dead at the report.
Brown unemj to have been very much ex
cited aad exasperated at the time ha
I committed the act, for the discharge
which killed Williams came very near
killing two little white boys, who were
sitting in a wagon just beyond. One of
the shot passed through the fleshy part
of the left arm of Andrew Culver, the
boy in charge of the s-agna. a
very painful, though net dangerous
mound. Had this shot passed a tew
inches further to the left of its oeupus it
would have entered the boy's breast and
kilted him. The little boy was
home immediately and his wound at
tended to.

Grant as s Gentleman.
We find the following in the Cincinnati
Commercial:
The Xcw Tork Sun relates an anecdote
of President Grant at Long Branch,
which we reproduce in another' column
and propose to correct in this. The Sun’s
story is s little crooked, and *e hope to
give the straight of it. The President
WAS dining at Drexel's cottage. Among
the guests wss a young man from Phila
delphia, recently returned from Europe.
He was a pleasant talker, and related a
good deal of his experience abroad, dwell
ing especially upon England. Perhaps
the young man had heard so much about
“Cmarism” that it occurred to him that
the President had mooaichial tendencies.
At any rate, he spoke in very high term*
of the English form of government, and
pointed out the features in which it
was more liberal than our Republican
form, expressing also, confidence in it*
great stability. The American Eagle
on the bosom of the President was
aroused and screamed, so to speak. It is
related that he interrupted the talker by
saying: “As you hold such sentiments, I
think you should become a British subject.
I don't think you have any business in this
country.’’ A melancholy pause' in'the con
versation succeeded this practical remark.
In the language of the p.»et. “Silence, like
a poultice, came to heal the blowg of
sound.” Two or three dismal attempts
were made to restore tho conversation, but
they were feeble, and very soon faded.
The dinner closed with a coolness. As soon
as the host could speak alone with his
distinguished guest, the President of the
United States, he approached him, and
said that the young man from Philadelphia
had certainly not intended to offend him,
and merely meant to do the Engli-h justice,
without disparagement of his own country.
But the wrath of the President swelled
within him. and he declared that he had
made np his mind not to hear any more of
that sort of talk without rebuking it.
There had been too much of that sort of
thing in this country, anyhow. Without
knowing the result of this intercession for
peace and good will among men, the un
fortunate Philadelphian sought the Presi
dent and desired to say that however
fairly his remarks at the table might be
open to criticism, he begged to be under
stood not to mean any disparagement of
the United States or disoourtesT toward
the Chief Magistrate. The President

in the State, the negroes will elect him.
They regard him as the regular nominee
and a "head Grant man,” and that is

able state of affairs generally,-but there
is no remedy. During this generation, in
the cotton States, race lines wifi be party
lines. Alcorn looks to the negroes for
support, and counts largely upon his rec
ord to secure their votes, but he will be
disappointed. The 1 negroes follow the
regular organization, no matter who leads
it. The Republican party could not put
up a man so objectionable that the ne
groes would not vote for him. This is
not an inviting picture I know, but it is
true. The negroes of the cotton States
are like sheep; they all go in one direc
tion. It is a part of their creed not to
support a man that the whites support,
and they will not do it. The whites may
split up and divide out on questions, but
toe negroes are solid. This,expat black

dangerous because it cannot be divided,
and because one man can do the thinking
for fifty thousand. A white man’s party
is bad enough, but not so dangerous as a
black man’s party, for you cannot mold
the whites into a solid mass and keep
them in line—a chain-gang. They do

their opinions now and then. A negro

Had Been Shaky Some Time.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commensal reys Jay Cooke’s
failure did not surprise some people of
that city, who bad watched his career
closely for several years. The other
hanking house* at Washington have
been suspicious as to his r solvency some
time, and Bigg’s bank, for one, made it
% rule never to hold a cheek on Cooke
even tor an hour. They were collected
right away. In short, adds' the corre
spondent; ** there is little excuse for any
body of ordinary sagacity losing money
with the Cookes. Mr. Knight, a director
of the Pennsylvania railroad, told me
three months ago that Jay Cooke was
pfirr**g over the critical months of his
career, aad that there was the barest
possibility of his survival, dependent
wholly on the sale of his railroad bonds
in Europe. Mr. Hamilton G. Font, a
banker of Washington, told me only a
fortnight ago that Jay Cooke had not
a cent since the war, that in a
■ingle operation of Cooke in New York,
namely, Mariposa stock, the firm had
lost seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, which frightened E. W. Clarke
out of tbe firUT; and it is well known
that Governor wOaoke’s mamdivn at
Georgetown has stopped at the founda

Cooke’s villa property is of an extensive

Jay Gould Speaks—He Goes Back
• t * ,on Grant. \ y . / r
Tho World, of tho 22(1, contains Ihe
particulars of a conversation held with the
President’s former right bower, Jay
Gould, and a reporter of that journal.
We apj>end several extracts:
Amidst the vast throng which filled the
Fifth Avenue Hotel there was one man
who attracted unusual attention. Men
followed him wherever he went, and no
sooner did he ^pen -liis - mouth .to. speak
than eager listeners made’ready to catch
every word. It was Jay Gould. The
writer had on interview with him. He
thought that prompt and immediate ac
tion was required of the Government.
“What policy would, in your opinion,
tend to restore confidence and stay tbe
crisis V the writer asked.
"There are so many plans that have
been suggested to the President that it
is extremely difficult to say which is the
better' one*. - Thp-'* general impression
seems to be that the Government should
call upon its reserve fund. Others main
tain different-theories.” . , .
£ “Do vo i think .that.this would navejs
tendon* ' to settle matters ?**
“I think it would. *It would certainly
tend to restore confidence amopg the peo
ple, and would aho put considerable
^ money info circulation.!’^ »’ - •
"Are you of the opinio n-thnt the ■closing
of of the Stock Exchange was necessary?”
** Undoubtedly it was a wise policy. I
have no doubt it prevented many addi
tional failures."
•'Do you think t&ft there is any abso
lute'necessity for tlie govdramenl to’ in
terfere ?”
** I think that it will be the only means
to prevent the spread of the crisis. I
understand that the President is averse
to •using the reserve - fund, but in- my
opinion it will be the most effective
measure.’* * -
" Mr. Gould, vhat dp you think is the^
cause*of the present’monetary’ crisis"?” *'
"It is due to many causes. In tho first
place, men have made heavy advances for
the construction of roads that can never
pay a cent in return. It is likewise due
to the lack of confidence among the
people on the street. And then again it
undoubtedly originated from the had fi
nancial management of the Government.”
"In what respect has the financial pol
icy of the Administration been bad ?”
“In every respect. Every move of the
Government shows its utter ignorance of
financial matters, and tbe Administration
as a whole lacks financial ability. What
does a second rate lawyer know of finance,

The Banking System—Its Uses
and Conveniences.
In an article on the monetary situation,
a New York exchange says:
‘‘From the very nature of banking, the
banks are always exposed to a danger re
sulting from the fears or caprices of their
depositors. In the double relation of
debtor and creditor in.which banks stand
to'the' commubitV, the terms are, In ohb
respect, very unequal. As debtors they
are under ■'.constant' obligation to pay
back the whole amount of their deposits
on demand; whereas, on the other hand,
as creditors they canoofcall in their loans
until the notes of their customers mature
at fixed future dates. When, therefore,
any sudden alarm unsettles confidence
sad gives a shock to credit, the stress of
the crisis falls first upon the banks. But
it must presently reach the community,
because the ability of banks to lend de
pends on their deposits, and when depos
its are withdrawn or withheld the source
of loans is dried up.
One step more will bring us to the point
to which these very elementary observa
tions are directed. When, from distrust
of the hanks, merchants withdraw or
are upset. This is the point on which we
desire to fasten attention, because no per
son who does not appreciate it can hav^ a
correct view of the disease, or of the adap
tation of proposed remedies. The service
rendered by the banking ovstem being a
prodigious economy in the use of currency
by the general substitution of checks for
money in making payments, it follows
that wheiLA panic uuae* jnerchtint^to go

their funds in dfoir^oss and
making pavin** nts in actual inoDev, all
that wonderful economy disappear* and

and payments by checks >'n' 7 y
cease) would need many times as much
money to transact the same amount of
business. Indeed, in the present state of

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The- Policy of the Administration.
Washington, September 25. — The
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury are entirely in accord. They
think they have done all they legally can
do, and all that is necessary to relieve the
legitimate business of the country. Tbe
forty millions reserve will be used for
urgent Government necessities only, and
to a very limited extent, with the under
standing that it shall be replaced when
the urgency passes.
The Government at present will buy no
more bonds or sterling exchange.
The Secretary* answering constantly
coming dispatches, advising him to some
other course, invariably answers “no.”
The above is official and may be regard
ed as the fixed policy of the administra
tion. g
