TH BAMK HiTTER.
Tbe (return of the absconding presi
dent and cashier of the State National
Bank has been attended by the cir
cumstances we anticipated and fore
shadowed some ten days since. Just
a fortnight ago the community and,
indeed, the reading public of the en
tires t ate Were thrown into a state of the
greatest excitement and consternation
as the fact of their flight became real
ized for indeed it was difficult to be
under stood and realized. Then came
the developments connected with the
condition of the bank, the public
learning that its capital cad been im
paired, and that the president and
cashier had been using forged paper
both in the bank and to obtain money
from other banks.
5 We doubt if the credit of Southern
banks in financial circles ever received
before such a shock as has accom
panied this development. Notes of
fered for rediscount tb obtain money
or local use in a case of pressing ne
cessity! have heretofore been subject
to inquiry as to the solvency of the
makers now the question of their
genuineness has to be met.
'i There are sufferers both in business
and in: the absolute loss of money.
But the evil consequences are not yet
felt. The great trouble will come
when the Receiver of the bank de
mands payment. The notes held as
assets by the institution must be col
lected. They are to be converted into
money. j
i While in some instances arrange
ments may be made, yet in the bulk
of the cases the notes must be paid
in cash at an early day, whi'ch will se
riously embarrass many business men.
Such are some of the consequences
yet to be suffered.
In the first flush of exasperation our
toeople expressed themselves with un
Controlled indignation, but that
phase of feeling has somewhat abated
ana me tenaency is now ojiuptuuenu,
Jnineling pity, and commiseration,
frith a feeling of regret that the men
whom we have all known so pleasant
ly, so kindly in some instances so
affectionately should be in sucn
condition.
I It is sad, aa we formerly said it
fro aid be a sad day when they should
be brought back. But sadder yet will
be the day of trial. Sadder yet the
end of the law. It is not needed for
any one in this community to say
that the processes of the law will
and needs must go on. Nothing can
arrest ; its inevitable progress. But
the doily of the public is to see that
the trial be fair, impartial, not accom
panied by undue harshness, but rig
orously just and exact.
i We should sav too unless there
aK . m -
be some e'ement of defense not now
known; that the sooner the better for
the community; so that this part of
the unhappy matter be gotten be
hind us.
I TUB BOWD PCHCIUIE BILL.
We have been a little surprised
that our Democratic friends in Con
gress should have permitted the
Bond Purchase Bill to pass without a
grand debate. While it doubtless
presents the only feasible means for
getting currency out of the govern
ment vaults, yet the consideration of
the bill ougbt to nave been tne occa
sion of bringing pointedly to the at
tention of the Country that it was an
beroic remedy required by a dangerous
situation. Having made teat point clear
nd clean-cut, tbe next step ought to
have been to bring forcibly before
the i country how the situation
arose, ! sinking it deep into the
Eublic mind that the Repub
cans brought the situation to pass
by preventing revenue reduction last
year. This would have prepared the
people for a better appreciation of
he merits of the Mills bill when that
matter is reached. Indeed in casting
about for a reason why the Bond-Purchase
Bill should have been given
precedence to the Mills bill, we had
concluded that it was for the purpose
pf directing public attention totbese
matters, but it seems that we were in
in error, for while the bill was under
Consideration in the Senate for some
days, yet the underlying stress neces
sitating the measure was not ven
tilated at all.
It ought to have been discussed
day after day until the whole country
Inew thoroughly the object of the
bill, the occasion for it and the causes
which have led to its presentation at
the only escape from greater evils.
As it lias how gone back to the House,
we hope that something may yet be
ihne on the line indicated.

Undib the Republican pocket bo
rough system of hold on Rhode
Island only about 5,000 of tbe 32,000
men of voting age of foreign birth in
the little State have been permitted
any voice in the direction of public
affairs. The restrictions cn the class
indicated were so severe that the
larger number of the people compris
ing it have not even taken tbe trouble
to be naturalized. At the recent elec
tion these restrictions were removed
notwithstanding the.fact that the Re
publicans elected .their candidates
tor the State offices and the legisla
ture. There will thus be a change in
the politics of tbe State, and in view
Of the rapid trend toward Democracy
which we pointed out the other day, it
is not unlikely that the Democratic
leaven which appears to be operating
so mightily will soon leaven the whole
lump. Restrictions on the suffrage
Remain, however. The right to vote
for city councils and the expenditure
of money in cities and town continues
to be limited. What folly for Repub
licanism to prate of the free ballot
and so on in view of its recoid in
Rhode Island !
:i Thx death of Gen. Gilmore of the
Federal army has called out the usual
encomiums on his bravery and hero
ism. That is well enough, but then
be probably was no braver than ten
thousand others in the late unpleas
antness. But he did something no
One else did and which entitles his
same to be deeply inscribed on the
roll of fame. He was the first officer
on either side to comprehend the de
structive power and efSincy of rifled
cannon in a contest with masonry.
His work a'. Fort Pulaski was a reve
lation which even months later was
not understood by the Confederate
tngineors at Charleston. As an
engineer he was only equalled, as far
as we know, by Gen. Gilmer on the
Confederate aide.

' FtiDAT Night, April 6, 1888.
The most important event of the
week is the practical collapse of the
strike of the employees of the great
lines: of railroad centering at Chicago,
which bsd begun to assume alarming
prOpjortipufl, and was having an im
portant effect upon values, not only
of securities but of merchandise. The
weather has been springlike, favor
ing crop, prospects in all latitudes,
but inland navigation is not fully re
sumed at the North.
Lard on the spot met with only a
moderate demand and prices did not
sustain the advance quoted in our
last. Today at a slight decline there
was more doing, closing this after
noon at 7-60c for prime city, s$7.90a
7.35c for prime to choice estern,
7 80c for leaned to the continent and
8.G0? (or South America. Lard for
future delivery ruled dull through
Out most of the week, with prices
fluctuating within narrow limits.
Other bog products show no changes
of moment Butter dull at 23a30c
for creamery. Cheese unsettled.
Coffee on the spot met with an ac
tive I d jrnand at hardening values,
until yesterday, when some reaction
took place, and lihe market today was
very; dull. The speculation in Rio
options has active st buoyant prices
on Monday and Tuesday. There was
a furthe? advance on Wednesday, but
a sharp decline followed which con
tinued throughout yesterday's busi
ness. Raw sugars were dull at drooping
prices until yesterday, when a steadi
er tone was apparent, though without
milch business. Today tbe market
was active, sales including Mu6cova
do, 86 aad 88 degrees test, at I ll-16e,
and Centrifugal, 96 degrees test, at
6 13 32ci Mola989s further dec med,
several dargoe? selling at 19a for 50
degree test, but the close is quiet. A
large offering of tea9 by auction on
Wednesday went off at easier prices
for oolongs and greens, but other
wise about steady. Oranges and
lemons Still bring high prices.
1 I The iron markets are unsettled,
with sales reported below current
quotations.
; Spirits turpentine has been dull
and closes easier at 93ia93Jc. There
has been a fair business in rosins,
with common to good strained selling
at $1.22al 27J, and fine grades
bringing some advance on late prices
' The speculation in cotton for fu
ture delivery at tbia market was quite
depressed at the r sumption of busi
ness on; Monday. Receipts at the
ports vrere comparatively large
btocks in American markets were
much larger than one year before,
and there was an absence of foreicn
advices. I Under these adverse influ
ences, prices roceded to within 10al2
points 6f tbe lowest figures of
the previous week. Some reac
tion followed on a demand to
cover contracts, to which reports
of a much larger business in
spot cotton gave some strength.
uut at a. small advance on
Wednesday the market relapsed Into
dullness and depression, the bull
party showing very little confidence
in action, Yehterd ly the market was
very unsettled, but closed slightly
dearer, On renewed discussion of a
smaller Overland movement, with the
planting: season backward except in
Texas, but the best prices of the day
wef e not sustained. Today an early
advance was followed by a decided
decline the bulls losing courage and
selling to realize, under the full crop
movement and large stocks. Cotton
on the ssot declined l-16con Monday
and again on Tuesday. There was a
fair business at the decline, with ru
morfe of much larger sales for export
than were r ported But on Wed

Listen, to what, a ninetr year old
Democrat has to say who has voted
for Jackson and every Democratic
President down to Cleveland, and if I
live until next November I will vote
for him again. I was at Raleisrh in
1876 when Judge Fowle got the nom
ination for Lieutenant Governor
if
they had have counted the votes, but
they changed and cheated him out of
it. If he had have gotten the nomi
nation he would have been Governor
as long as Jarvis was, and we all
know he -was eminently qualified to
fill the place. Qe has worked faith
fully for;tbe party ever einco. Let
us do him justice now and nominate
him for ; Governor. Jarvis made a
good Governor for six years, and that
ought to satisfy him and all his
friends. 1 1 am not personally ac
quainted: with Judge Fowle. r. Ed

Troy vs. O. F. A T. V. R. R.
Held, that where the public for a
series of years has been in the babit
of crossing the railroad, the acquies
cence of the company in the public
usv '.mounts to a license and imposes
the duty on the company to exercise
reasonable care in the movement of
ts trains to protect from injury to
persons so crossing.
Held, The right to recover damages
for alleged injuries is not determined
by the question of contributory neg
ligence.
Held, To constitute sucn contribu
tory negligence as will defeat a re
covery, it must be the proximate and
not remote cause of the injury; by
proximate cause is intended the act
that directly produced or concurred
in producing the injury; remote cause
is that which may have happened
and yet no injury have resulted.
Farnor vs. Houston
Held, That the only effect of a levy
previous to the oale under execution
is the specific appropriation of the
property on which it is made to the
payment of the judgment.
At a sheriff s sale all that is requi
site is that it be fully made known
what property is exposed to sale.
Where the sheriffs deed declares
that the Bale was made on the day
and at the place specified by law of
the lands of the defendants levied on
and "hereinafter described," followed
by a good description, it is sufficient.
Kameey vs. Glenn.
Held, The specific execution of a
contract cannot be invested upon in
equity or a "mat er of right, but
Lreets in tbe discretion of the court.
If the contract be bard and exacting
or in its terms contrary to its spirit
and inequitable under the circum
stances the court leave the parties to
their remedy at law. So where an
elderly man agreed that he would un
der certain conditions give a deed
for a hundred acres of land to
parties if they should move on his
premises and support him during his
life and even before the arrangement
were entirely completed, he died,
specific performance will not he de
clared against his representatives.
