The Post has alwajs adrocated SaTioss Banks, and bas given statistics showing tbe almost magical gain ot compound interest. As deposits from ten-cents and upwards are received at Tn fihnrt time. & new candidate for public layor, tbe 41 Wilmington Trust Company and Savings' wans:,'' win commenco operations, and we invite at tention to its claims for patronage. It is a home enterprise. This, to oui mind, is a great and paramount argu msot in favor of any institution or man ufacture. It wo had our way, there would be tar less importations from Europe, and far lees articles brought here from tbe North. It often sur prises us to see men who are per- J 4 I 41 -i - I U V r. r. II na.a by their own brethren and send North for their manufactured articles. The principle is tbe same in banking. We are to have a Savings' Bank in our midst, managed by men of high integ rity and known wealth, and that guar antees the fi ancial soundness ot the institution. Being successful business men, tbey are skillful enough to cngi neer tbe affairs ot tbe Dink through tbe dangers sucb husiuess often encounters, and as it loans Its deposits in our miUt it proves of twofold value to our people. Tbe system of credit is at best a very precarious one, an1 tbe Bank that re ce ves tbe earnings and little savings ot tbe widow and . orphan should be so completely above suspicion, and eo thoroughly guaranteed by its managers, as to command the confidence of every man, woman and child in tbe city. Sucb a one will be opened for business in a few days. We believe that our Savings Banks, above all others, should be home institutions, and managed by people perfectly well known, who are not borrowere, and wbo will loan the funds in our midst. By this means, tbe funds of tbe depositors will be though drawing interest for their benefit still in circulation in our midst. A Savings' Dink, which sends its deposits North for investment, while it may work ben efit to its depositors, is a detriment to the pe ple at large. We need every dollar we can raise to transact tbe bu siness of the city, and we most sincerely dislike to have the money deposited here in small 6ums sent out of the State for investment, thus reducing our-vol-ume of corrency, and being of no prac tical benefit to the people at large. This is a subject of great importance, and to which we invite careful atten tion. Will we deposit our money in an institution managed and guaranteed by capitalists in our midst, or will we still send our earnings to be invested in another State, and under the direction ot men unknown to us financially ? We do not wish to be understood in the slightest degree as doubting tbe solven cy or integrity of other Savings Banks, but as a plain, business proposition, we believe it to be our interest to patronize the home institution. Brutal Murdor. The Greensboro Patriot tells ot the murder of an old man ntmed Henry Clapp seventy years old in Guilford county, by two men named Peter Staley and Alson Staley. It seems that on Sunday, March 20th, the Staleys met Clapp in tbe road, and a quarrel ensued, when Peter Staley felled the old man with a stick and Alson Staley stamped him severely, and then left him in a disabled condition. They met a col ore man, whom they requested to go to the placo where Clapp was and take him home, which be did, the poor old man being in an unconscious condition. Physicians attended the injured man, and in about two weeks he had so far recovered as to be able to get about a little, though with'much Buffering. - On the 18th lost, he was seta in the woods rear bis bouse, alter which time he was day night a party carrying torches were attracted by the barking ui a dog be longing, to the old man and which always accompanied him, and upon reaching the place where the dog Was, tbey found the dead body of Clapp, within four hundred yards of bis house. The faithful dog bad evidently remain ed by the side of his master all the while. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict rendered in accord ance with tbe foregoing facts. The murderers arc still at Urge. EDITORIAL BUDGET. A letter from Sieney, Nebraska, dated the 22d instant, says: Sixteen Indians dashed into Moore's beid and stole thirty bead of horses and mu!es. Mr. Moore and fifty mounted men, with; Captain Handley in command, started in pursuit. Over three-fourths of the railroad bridge at Kendall's Mills, Maine, was destroyed by fire April 23CT. It is sup posed to have caught from a freight train which had passed over it a short time before. Tbe loss is estimated at $100,000. All the telegraph lines that run on the bridge are destroyed. Secretary of War Belknap, General Phil Sberiu'an and party lelt Ringgold barracks, 120 miles above Browcsville, La., for that place Wednesday. Tbey are expected to arrive to day. The city council bas tendered tucm the freedom of the city, and bas appointed a com mittee to meet and escort Ibem into town. Preparations are being made to extend a hearty welcome to the distin guished persons by tbe people generally, without distinction of party. A correspondent of the Daily Champion, writing irom Arkansas City, says a man named Thompson arrived there on tbe 20th instant, wbo states that on tbe 11th lie was robbed by a band of Indians, near Medicine Lodge creek, and his four companions killed. Tbe party consisted of himself, John and William Mitchell and William and James Fullerton. Tbe party arrived at Medicine Lodge creek, near tbe south l ne of tbe State, on the Sth instant. Tbey had with them a span ot horses, wagon, camp equipage and 1,000 in money. On Friday, the 1 lib instaof, Thompson was about a quarter cf a mile from camp, when he siw three or four hundred Indians surround it, and shortly afterwards heard firing and saw the Indians using tomahawks on bis comrades. " He supposes tbey were all killed at the time of tbe attack. Part of tbe band took him prisoner and rob bed him of all be had, but finally let rim go. He arrived at Caldwell about noon of the Htb, and while tbcre was told that nine others were killed at Medicine Lodtje creek by tbo Indians about tbe same time bis camp was at tacked. WASHINGTON NOTES, Tbe Fist Comptroller bas not yet re ceived a copv of tbe opinion of tbe Supreme Court concerning the twenty per cent, claims, and wbeu received an important question will arise as to bow the claims shall be paid. There is no appropriation for that purpose. Drs. J. B. G. Baxter, of Wisconsin, N. F. Grahsm, ot Minnesota, Wm. Greusted, of Missouri, and W. L. Wor ccster, of New Hampshire, have been appointed to positions upon tbe stafi of the medical reteree of the Pension Bu reau, atter thi usual competitive exam ination. It is stated that an important statement will soon be made public re garding a gigantic scheme said to be already nearly matured, to obtain con trol of the entire transportation traffic in the United States. The scheme has been carefully concealed and attempts made to involve members of Congress to prevent adverse legislation. Ad vances to subsidiZ3 a well known Sena tor from tbe West, by a proffer of stock at par, are reported as the cause of the impending exposure. Th8 advertisements for bids for furnishing boilers and other machinery tor tbe new sloops of war will soon be issued. The specifications for this work have all been made, and the Secretary ot the Navy will, as 60on as the pressure ot business relaxes somewhat, scrutinize them, and upon his approval, bills will be requested. Contractors can send in their own plans, which will be exam ined by the Department, tre Secretary of the Navy not being entirely guided by the plans ct the Government engine eers. The Secretary of the Treasury has notified collectors of customs that cer tain so-called plain glass chimneys returned by. appraisers as cut glass, by reason ot their having undergone a process of grinding, is held to be duti able at 40 per cent, ad valorem, under tbe provision for "class cut" in section 0, act June SO, 1861, less 10 per cent, under section 2, act. June 6, 1872. The Secretary states that the rule that arti cles of glass are to be classified as "cut glies" by reason of the fact that the whole or some parts thereof have been smoothed or polished by griding, is of r--''!-", f!thc!7h never publisb- Captain 8. R. Franklin has been de tached from the naval station at New London, Conn., and ordered to com mand tbe, Wabash, in the European fleet. lie will sail for Europe on the 31st of May. The Navy Department is in receipt of letters from the flag-ship Lancaster, South Atlantic squadron. That vessel left Sata Catbencia April 1, for a week's cruise, and would visit other ports, and, after a short cruise, go to Montevideo and return to Rio aa soon as yellow fever abates. The health of officers and crew, and generally throughout the fleet, is good. Lieuten ant Commander Roderick S. McCook was examined lor promotion. The sensational reports regarding the alleged purchase of appointments' to be commissioner from this Goverment to the Vienna exposition have no founda tion whatever in fact. Charges have been made by Minister Jay based upon unsubstantial rumors to tbe effect that Borne of Gen. Van Burcn's assistants have used their authority with him to procure privileges and licenses for tbe keeping of restaurants, &c, in the American division of the exposition; but no charges have been made, except from irresponsible sources, that tbe ap pointment of commissioners was cor ruptly procured. Certain interested parties have made public assertions that some of the honorary commission ers directly concerned in sewing ma chine and other patents, but close in vestigation disproves these assertions. A respectable young man in Worces ter bas been inhumanely treated by his landlady, and finally ejected from her bouse, where be had all tbe refining in fluences of a borne for three dollars and a half a week, merely because at the breakfast table the other morning he advised her in tbe presence of the other boarder?, to send the butter to a hair dresser and sell it for a wig. It seems as if some people never could take a joke. A revolutiodary soldier deposited his pension in a New Hampshire bank fory years ago. Neither principal cor inter eat bas been touched, as tbe soldier died soon after mating the deposit. A beeutiful Indiana school gir', thir teen years old and six feet one ineh high, is causing a general rupture among tbe suspenders of the short boys who try to kiss her.
