The Cnse of Paymaster Paulding ««A Noted Cashlor Defunct, From Our Own Correapondent, WasiNaTON, Bopt, 20, 1873, Opposito the one gloomy facade of the L'rons- wry, whoro n vow of plaster columns stand om- battiod, like divk supporting splendor, is a bulld- ing of two storios, so white aud voat as to ap- ponx o recont tombatone, It is THE FINST NATIONAL BANK,— Tenry D. Cooke, Prosidont,—which closed its doors just ton yems aftor ihoy wore opened ; aud now Edwin L, Stanton, son of thio ox-Beoro« tary of War, is Recoiver within, ‘Tho grent pan~ clod doors are closed 3 lights hurn by day within the roomy intorior ; clorks count up the losses where thoy used to figure the discounts ; and only tho spaco befora tho counter is empty, where customers and suppliauts were wont to stand, Tho houso of Jay Cooke & Co. ownod this amongst other banks dotached from thoir busi- nesy, yob tributary to it., The building was erected out of tho proceeds of snle of stock in tho first streot-passenger-railrond of Washing- ton City,—n rond which Honry D. Cooke wainly corriod through. Tho roal estato, furniture, and fistures of tho bank are got down in tho Comp- trollor's xeport as worth 161,000, This baulk hag many " NEMINISCENCES inits short carcor, only a fow of whioh I can mention, Amongst its incorporators were William Spraguo, John Sherman, and, I think, Schuyler Colfox. Tho latter doporited thore, mnd nll threo wero stockholdors at gomo time. Tho lnst Cashicr, Swayne, o nativo of Cape May, N, J., nc~ companied to the Poland Committee tho books which shiowed tho Amas and Nesbitt chocks, ond crowned with wmartyrdow, as it wero, & Clris- tian Btatosman’s carcor. Here was depositod, niso, much of the monoy to do Jobbing in Congress ; and many purchased Coungressmon Lopt the same money thero nftor it wos paid thom. It was mainly the banking- houso of tho uow regime, and most of the rop- utations of tho war-ridden yems have pnssed its threshold,—somo to make thoir first, many thowr habitusl, aspignation with Mammon. Lot mo first indicato tho rank and position of tho banlk ¢ 'THE FIOST NATIONAL'S STANDING, This timo one yonr ngo, tho Firat National Bank of Washington had duo to National Banks £160,000, to State banks and to bankora §20,- 000, to the United Sintes ne n dopository $40,000, nnd to individual depositors the large sum of £1,000,000. It had a surplus of $108,000, an outstanding circulntion of $448,000, and its capi- tal stock wus §600,000, It condition was sound, nud its management in improved hands over the provious year, 'Flhio Comptroller of tho Currency himsolf, an old bLank-oficor and conservative office-holder, deposited in it. It was tho goneral placo of discount for persons with clnimg, epecial approprintions, and warrauls for pay. Mon of the old stylo of sily-morchants patronized it; bLut it reported a line of lonns and diecounts amounting to #775,000, and its nsgets, real and assured, were newrly £2,400,000. As o bauls, it wos 08 good a piece of cpropeny, por'eaps tho best, that Jay Cooke & Co. possessed; for they owned it, or & mujarity of its stock, aud conld, therofove, have ils Diroctory and officors, This bauk, so fur from being a drag upon_ the goneral house, waa ovon sharply—some enid unscrupulously—man- nged; for its formor Caslier, Henry Hunting- ton, was o wily, netive, insinuating mau, who mode fow mistakes, uud ofton oxtricated himself Dy nsyetem of eharp practice, as I ghall pros- ently rolato, Mr. Honry D. Cooke, in lin enrnestnoss to forward a more Northernly char- actor of intorests, made some poor investments hero, none of \;hlc\:, Liowever, could matorinlly alfect a bank liko tho nbove, which had more than one-third of tho businoss and assots of all tho Natlonal Banks of tho District, fivo in nym- u bave but threo National Banks in Chi- cago with lurger capital, A X( tho time of closing tho doors, it is now said thnt the First National of Washington City Liad £850,000 on deposit from the National Banks, £100,000 Governmont doposits, nnd £450,000 indi~ vidual dopoeits, If this bo truo, hovo is 1,400,000 due somehody,—cuough to startle a little func. tionary city lilko ours vory much.

Boneath tho beuk was the branch hiouse of Jay Cooke & Co., on the flrut floor. lts ncconuta were, of courso, soparately kept ; and it hada lnge number of ofiiclal, military, aud other de- positors, nmongst them some grave old function- arieh and warriors long retired from activo life.
