Morris, Girard, Biddle, Ceoke, and Other Prominent Banlkers. —— £rom Our Oten Correavondent, : WARUINGTON, Bept, 21, 1873, Philadolphia has provided tho three most occontrio nnd munificent bankers In American bistory: Ttobort Motrls, Nick Biddle, and Jay Cooke. Thoir fates and famos recall one an- othor. All bave been mon of noortain ap- pointed use, which thoy survived in order to ond in entastrophe. Monn1g was the Colossus of the Ievolutionary poriod, 1l raised money for the Government on forlorn oceasiony, and once ralsed the Lalf-million to transport Washington's army to Yorktown, whoroby Cornwallis surrenderod. Ho lost about 160 vosgels in tho courso of tho war, but eamo oul more than eafo, and built himsolf o gorgoous rosidenco, which was nover comploted. 1o wont into speculations in Jand, just as Jay Cooke has done, and, failing in his old ago, took rofugo iu ndobtors’ prison, TRovert Morris bns descended to us a8 a savior and bouefactor of tho country ; but his motives sud probity were many times called in question, and ho was investigated by Congross fn 1777, e ostablished tho first and the sccond bauks Philadelphia possessed, in tho years 1780 and 1781, Tho firet of theso banks had £800,000 in spacio eapital, put up by nincty poraons,—Morria hending tho list with £10,000 storling, Tho gecond bank was stocked with coin sont out from Franco to Morris. Both banks stood with- in guu-shot of Jay Coolc’s presont or lato bank- ing-houso, and thoy wore the onrliest banks in Amorica, Tobert Morris and Jay Cooke wors prabably of bout tho samo dimonsions and force; both pousessed of meoroly English eduoations; both sanguine men, and bottor salosmen than baukers ; both defectivo in judgment, and apt to go off at Linlf-cock. They illustrated two dif- foront periods bettor thau thoy complotad thelr own carcers. Morris, liko Cooke, made a part- norship with ouo of his own name (Gouvernour Motris) ; anda contemporary ballad skotchos one of them ag follows . Bome littlo knowledga, with some little scnso,— More affectation far,nand moro pretenso ; Buch i the man ; his tongue he never balks; On all things talkablo ho bokdly inlks ; A wypecions orator, of law Lo prates s A pompous nothihg, wingles in debates, NICK BIDDLE. A man of more culture and polish than cither Morris or Cooke, but equally unfortunato, was Nicholas DBiddle, who was born in Morris' old age; becamo Secretary of Legation to Frenco in Lhe perlod of Bonaparte's magnificenco ; followed law and literature ; and camo to the hoad of the second bank of tho ‘United Statos in 1823, o had previously advo- cated its rechartor in 1811, and may bo ealled, in thia respect, tho Jay Cooko of tho second war with England. For thirteon years Biddle pro- sided over this Dbaunk, or until Gen. Jackson closed thio bank, and then for two years ho was Presidont of a State bank bearing the eamo name, which came down with a crash in 1841, It is notablo that the bank which Morria sturted in 1781 lived, under the name of tho Bank of Ponnsylvania, down to the yesr 1857, when it failed in the most diesetrous manner for £1,815,000, Tho bank over which Biddio prosided was tho croation of Alex- sndor Hamilton in 1791, with $10, 000,000 capital. In 18I1 it went out of ex- istence deceutly, nccording to law ; but was re- chartered in 1816 for twonty years, with $95,~ 000,000 capital, or just abont the capital in bonds of the Northorn Paciflc Railrond. As o Btate bank, this institution, of which Biddle was tho chief cook, sunlk every cent of its capital, and twico nuu‘mndcd specic-psyments. 'The 'fotal loas resulting from the panic of 1841 was &G6,- 000,000 in corporate institutions. Biddle's great conutry sent of * Andalusin” was immodiately gold by-the Sheriff, and his pertonal indebtedness to the bank was £1,018,000 ; failing to pay which, ho was subjected to'n police-court exame ivation. Ho dicd mortifled and poor. THE TIREE BANKEDS nbove reforred to were all men of a similar turn of mind as rolated to the prosecution of national fnanco a8 & mouns of personnl waslth, Activo, plusible, uggostivo, onthusing milttudos, hoy all Incked prudence and underrated scrux ulousnoss, They all believed that the end Ylilullflnd the monus; that s short cut was ag dignified in banking a# in peddling ; and all of them weore fillad with oxtravagnnt idess of the prosperity of tho country at their Hm’iud, which they wanted to hypothecate, aud thus make o currency out of futuro possibilitics. Morriy svas tho flrst Bowrd of Public Works of this Dis- trict of Columbin, snd he suunk much of his money bulding rows of houses hore. Biddle was the flunucinl ropresentative of Houry Clay's boundless ndvocacy qf internal improve- ments, Greek sire, and Sduth Amorican inde- pendence, Mr. Jay Cooke bas beou tho last of tho Jine. Almost invariobly thie kind of banker goos under. - Tho kind 0f banker who holds inst iy your real money-grub, like Btephon Girard and others that we might name, who riso from coiquering mennness to jmmnortal alnmumu, aud die with a terror of tho poor- ouso. TIHE DANKER'H MARKS. Thero seoms to be Bomothing about finance so romantic that the most impecunious man can give lossons in jt. ~There aro probably as many men doing the business of banking who under- stund litllo of its scienco as there are curb- stono orators aforosaid. T'ho origin of banking was lowly enough,—the word itsolt boing de- rived from banco, tho bench on which the Ho- brew Inid bis littlo pilo in the public square, and looked down the generations st Rothschild and Belmont, And, for tho matter of sntiquily os ell, buuking s of no groat ago, be- giuning with the _maritime republics of Venico, Gouon, Barcelons, Amsterdam, and Iomburg,' Dills of _oxchange wero first ueed a whilo prior to tho discovery of Amer- icu, and the great banks of Holland ‘and Eng- lond wero kot up in the period of our rising Colonial Jifo. Philadelphia was founded bofore tho Bank of Englund, and Morris decorated it with o bank loss thau a century after William Patterson suggestod the bank at London. Ten times has the luttor heavy institution boen re- chartered, Pavics and suspensionn of specie- puyments have not spared it ; but something in tlie 6olid genius of the English people has mado it & fortress tn finance. COMING DOWN TO COOKE, The final failure of ‘the Bank of the United Btates brought into voguo our vast systom of Btato Banks, the first of which was founded in Boston City in 1784, und just prior to the Re- ballion we had about-1,600 of those, Now York Btate, in 1820,—just thirty yoats aftor hor first Dbank ‘was foundod,—bogan ‘8 sories of measures to givo stability to the banks of that Common- wenlth; in 1840 tho basls of banking there way mado United Btates or Btate stecks, or bonda and mortgagoes ; aud in 1863 the cloaring-houso was established, Tifty-soven sud its ponic oll are familisr with, Just after tho intallation of Mr, Chuse as Becrotary of tho “I'ronsury, ho concoived tho National Banking systom, lnwhlfi it in the main upon the experi- ence of tho Now York Btate banks, Mr, Jay Cooke opposod this system for gomo time, bo- cenuso lio wad bmmwlnfi monoy_ easily from the Btate banks, and they had no dosire” to chango their chartors, Seolug that Dr. Obaso was ros- olute, Mr, Cooko finally gave bim overy sssist- ance, and otablishod somo of tho earliest notn- blo Natlonal Banks in Washington, Phuladelphia, aud New York. TI{E CLOBE OF ‘THE IERELLION found Jay Cooke & Co, one of the moat widoly- known bond-selling houses in the world. Thoro waH & cortsin romance In their coming up from rolativo obwourity, which fhoy felt in common with the public, und_ambition grew in them to omploy tboir wide-spread and all-perme- ating rystom of solicitation aud advertising upon somo othor impurial project.

It was o romarkablo performance, however, to sell §25,000.000 of these bonde, from thoe fact: 3 Second—'Tnat all tho tinancial authority in the country took position at tho outset sgainst the snceess of the railway, and 1t was almost at the poril of roputation that sny banker of moto negotiated tho bonds, The opposition, at firat morely dej recatory, grow roally misohievous to- wnrd the lnst, and Wall atreot was flooded with’ i}x\l‘icntul‘en sud pasquinades against the doomed highway. Y hivd—Tt was aub of thio power of any lious in Aniericn to earry a bolt-hue of rail across the Contiuent, unaswisted by foreign capital or Government. But the management of tho Northorn Pacifie Railroad, m addition to tlus fnet, portook of all the failrond loosoncss of the ‘times, It had its Innd-companics nud' its Crodit-Mobilier ; and that it reachod the Mis- souri Rivor at all, is & wondor, The above appear to mo to be - THE TIRUE OAUSES OF THE FAILURE of the railrond, nud not the goodnoss or bad- ness of the lands nloug tho lue. As it was Joy Cooke & Co.'s mistake, it wne also the error of the Itepublicau Congress which sot the eyeam going und took past of tho plunder. The North- ern 'acific Rallroad was an individual inipossibili- ty, discouraged by the financial world, and begun 100 Inte in the day of laud-graut_extravagauco. Grant could do it no good with his sllusion to ihe strong box of gold in tho mountaius; for it waw tho strong boxoa of gold in the coffors which alono could bs of any uso to this railway, Bv- ory railway based upon o roal-estate specitiation, instoad of traftic, will havo & hard timorto hoo this winter, ‘Think, for oxample, of roads liko tho Atchison, Topeka & Savta Fe, the St.Paul & Pacific, or tho Atlantic & Lacitlo, running out to sohtude for hundreds of miles, sud expecting to poy interest on their bouds.

Intho past threo years we have built 22,000 miles of road, or a mito to ovory 1,500 inhabitations, At $30,000 por mile, evory liuman boing in the country, including’ Indians not taxod, is in debt $20 on these 1oiiways'; or thoy ‘bear, at 7 per cont, over $46,000,000 inlerest, or §47,000,000 moro specio thau there was in allthe Unuks of New York City last Saturday, No won- der that speculators in gold load tho’ stroct, and that Jay Gould rises to prominenco, whilo Jay Cooko disappears from thovista, But tho cash of our railronds is put down at 50,000 the mile, which isthe cost of the Northern Pacific Railroad and this_will make, at 7 per cent gold interoat, §77,000,000 of mero intorest every year. It i $imo for Gen, Grant's strong box in tho moun- tains to bo Leard from. Had the Northora I'a- cific Railroad been continued at the rato it had cost for 500 milos, it would bave consumed uob Tosy than 150,000,000, or three times the great- ost fortuno in tho country. J JAY COOKE & IUS RIVALS. The growth of privato Lnnkiug-houses in Amorica bears a close relation to the rise of simi- iar firms in Europe. BMost of our really solid bankers have Loon DBritish, Frouch, and Gor- mans, who, for some Teason, combino responsibility aud pouuriousness in about cqual dogrees, Bhylock is _still the truest type of money-lenders, You want good- nature aud the lboral hand lesst of all whoro sou knep sour doposits. . Tobart Norris was an Englishmion by birth; Stephen Girard, Frencl ; and they probably sew cach other ofton, Qdoing business within one square of each ofher, Bix years aftor Morris' death, Girard bought tho Tirst Unitod Btatos bank-bullding, noxt door to the late Jay Cooke & Co.; sud there this ex- sutlor aud liquor-grocer took Govornment £5,000,000 loans, anid died, posscssed of §9,000, 000, in the year 1831. As Girard forbado a cle; gyman or ecclosiastic of any kind to entor his college, Joy Cooke has boon the Knight-Hospi- taller to tho clergy. He told me, some time ago, that his villa at Put-in Bay had beon a sourco of Egut imposition, and that men wealthier than imself wore constaotly sonding their clergy to him to be housed aud transported froo on rail- roads. 'The staturc of Ghard stands out typical and: cloar: of the true banking clasa: exact, sovoro, successful, earolows of all things but his creditors; and, whether wo_like him or no, ho is consistont and recognizablo. Mr. Cooke has atiempted to humauize banking too much; but not all tho pootry of tho bankor TRogers can got the clink out of tho business, TIHE FOREMOST AMERIOAN DANKERS of our dsy are rown Biothors and August Bel- mont, who is Rothschilds' correspondont.
