If the decision shall imprees the blundering portion of mankind in this vicinity with this fact it will not havo been in vain. The preparations for tho execution of the re- doubtable Capt.

Thiers hns beon recently recog- nized o8 the leader of the Liborals, and as the political atmosphore has been lowering for some dnys, the public need not bo surprised ot any fulure announcement, . Liko Henry Murger, tho Bohieminn, overy man intorosted in Frauco ghould Icop u valet, not only to tell him the time of dny whon ha calls him in the morniug, put also the ruling Governmont of tho hour. The Evangelical Alliance, for tho assombling of which thore have boen two years of propara- tion, was oponed in Now York lact night at tho Liall of the Young Men's Christinn Assoclation. Among the distinguishod mon from abroad wero Tord Alfred Churchill ; Payno Smith, the Doan of Crnterbury ; Charles Reed, M.

There 18 no doubt that ** panio ™ hes sorved as an ox- cuso for not paying bills which might have boen discliarged as well ag not. The timo has passed whon this oxcuso has oven o plausibility with regard to the debts in question. For all the ovory-tay purposes of lifo, thore is now an amplo amount of mouoy in clrculation overy- where, i Tho Constitutionnl Convontion of Ponnsylva- nia have, on the motion of Mr, Buckalow, ap- ;proved, in Committoo of the Whole, tho follow- ing constitutional noveliy: “‘Tho practico of ‘oring sliall bo defined and punished by lnw, and shall include any corcupt sollcitntion of members of the Genoral Asacmbly, or of public oflicers of the Bato, or of any municipal division 1heveof, and any ocoupation or practico s o common borer for or ngainst the Passago or ap~ provul of laws, The punishment for tho offenso ‘shall bo by fine and imprisonment,” If thero «can bo any objeotion to this constitutional pro- wision, it ig that the praotice of Lorfng has beon o closoly limited by the definition, [ A corrospondent, whoso lottor we print thin morning, congratulatos Chiengoin a timely nan- “ner upon tha fortunato cscapo that our local financiers havo made in rojecting the polley of Jesuing loan-certificates, which Lad been adopted n soveral other citios. Bt.Louls is already roport- "od a8 regretiing the stop, and tho New York ox- porlencosy. yot provo embnrrassingtoits banks, though it can no longor affoet Chieago or tho Went very matorinlly. ‘Anothor citizon writes to complain of tho hardehip of setting off deposit ncconnts with notes made by tho dopositora aud not yot mintured, 'This wns done only during tho Aovoro straln of threo or four days upon tho bauky, and thon with mutunal concossions that | wero usually uatisfactory to both tho banks and depositors, Wo do not bolieve that the praotico hias boon at all gonoral within two or thrco days, Tho Amerfcan Goographieal Socloty in Now York hna racoived a lottor from Dr. Bushnoll, & corresponding momber of tho Socioty, now on ho woat const of Alricn, atating ‘that o Gorman oxploring party iu to start soon from Cohondn, & town about 53 milos north of the Congo River, and, procoeding gradually oastward, ooping up communication with tho const, cross tho con- {inont on thoe lino of the Equator, and ultimatoly ostablish communication with the westorn and castorn coasts. It is nlso stated thnt an English and Tronch oxpedition nro striving to ac- complish tho samo purpose. There i evident- 1y going to b plonty of work for Stanloy soon Yollow fover is raging ns Ladly as over at Blraveport, Lo, aud Memphis, Coun, At tho former placo, tho scourge is abated, if ot all, only by the frightful dopopulation it has alrendy caused; thoro were twenty-two intorments yestorday, twolve whites and ten blacks, Out of forty-ono denths in Memphis, twonty-soven wera from yollow fover, and the citizens have iesuc an appanl for nid, addressed to tho wholo coun- iry, snd bogging for tho co-operation of tho Mayorsof tho various clties to socuro it. Monoy is moat needed to buy food, bury the dead, and sholter tho orphans. The publio charities are oxhinusted, and tho wealthior citizons are much congured for dosorting the city and leaving to the poorer classes the cnro of the afilicted.” Sub- soriptions may bo sont to John Johnson, Mayor of Manphia, The retiromont of Mr. Boody from the Presi- dency of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Rail- rond, sud the election of a Tracy Board of Directors, - indicates a very probablo obange in tho policy of that Comwpany. Hitherto the ‘Wabash has boen tho largest feodor of the Linko 8horo Railroad. Tho election of nmajority of Directors who nro also interested in tho Canada Southern Rnilrodd, suggests o iransfer of the bueiness vie the Canadian line. By this route the distance botwoen Toledo and Buffalo is .considorably shortened and essy gradients so- curod, the only drawback being thoe delay and inconvenience of ferrying acroes Detroit River. The carrying out of this programme might lift tho Cnnada Bouthern out of its dificultios and onablo it to mako tho connoctions with Ohicago and Dotroit at an carly date. Moantimo it will bo Interesting to moto how ex-Scoretary Cox succoeds in tho now role of railroad President. . Wo print clsewhoro a much-trumpoted articlo from the New York Z'ribune, demanding an: oxira session of Congross to provide for tho im- mediate rosumption of' specio payment. - It offors no plan for tho consideration of Congress, ‘bowovor, but places its trust in tho superior wis- dom of Geu. Graut and the Adwministration party. This comea liko darkness in the light rather than light in the darkness. Tho occasion ig undoubtedly n good one for tho Republican party to restoro public coufldence, not only in the fnancial systom of tho country, but in iteclf ns tho govorning party. But we fear that the occasion will bo pormittod to go by unimprovod, a8 somany othors bave beon. Asregerds the roturn to specio payment, tho Tribune has said nothing that fs caloulated to Lielp cither the Republicau party or the country out of the om- barrassment. It has simply printod s sopho- ‘morical article on the subject. Tho Philadelphia Preass, as will be seen in ita article published in another part of this paper, clamors for {ho Government to aid in tho com- plotion of tho Northern Pacific Railrond. Tho proposition is simply infomous at this {ime. Tho present responsibility of the Government for- tho undortaking, with its kindrod evils, is limited to-the making of the enormous land- grant which constituted the objective point of -tho enterprise, —tho only terminus, in point of fact, thet the railroad ia likely to have for some time to come. Evory additional encourngement to proceod with the worlk would bo an additional responsibility and, in view of the recont collapse, anew sin, Howover groat the doception has boen, and however sovero tho resultant suffor- ings may provo to be, thero is no call upon the Govornment to atone for the sins of others, or assumo the guardianship of those who have beon botrayed. The Chicago prodnce markets wore ngain sirong yesterday, and grain was active and high- or, thero being numerous buyers for cash.

Caltlo sold at 92.00@5.75, and lLioga at £4,00@4.60, The New Yoric State Domocratic Convention adjourned after making the following nomina- tions: Diedrich Willors, Jr., Becretary of Slato ;- Ashor O, Nichols, Complroller; Dauiel Pratt, Attornoy-General ; Thomas Rainos, Troasuror, Bylvanus B, Sweot, Stato Engiveor and Bur- veyor; Jumos Juckeon, Canal Commiesioner, and Georgo W. Millspaugh, Btuto Prison Inapec- tor. Tho resolullous invoked tho eplilt of Thomas JofTerson to watch ovor tho righta of the Btates and inguro the supromavy of the clvil evor military autborily, Tho Congressionnl salary- grab was denounced, and Prosident Grant was in- oluded in the donunclation, which the Ropublican conventions, with wurprising uniformity, havo nogleoted to do. Tho Ropublican party was ar® raignod for tho Oredit Moblller frauds, and Tresldent Grant porsonally consured for roward- ing one of tho dofendors wilh & forelgn mission and another with Fodoral patronagoe to holp clect him Goveruor of hiu Btato, which is somewbat peraonnl to Mossrs. Bingham and Butlor. Prosi- dent Grant way still further condomned for his patont panlo romedy, and tho recolloction of Domoeratio flunncioring proudly recalled, which ig corlainly magnificent by comparison, It wns clnimad, nlso, that tho Democratio party in Now Yorlk was the first to giva low cannl tolls and promote chenp trausportation. Gov. Boymour dwelt with particatar omphasia upon thoso Lwo points in his closing speecl. THE BITUATION, Tho only ovent Iu Jocal financial circles yes- torday, which was not in tho right dircction, was tlio protost of n chock for $880 on tho Marino Company. Thio lHabilitios of thia instltutlos aro too small to bo of nny momont to tho gouoral banking busivess of tho city, and, althongh tho affalr waa goneratly known on the streots, it did not causo s ripplo in business elvoles, Tho Marine- Company still has fourteon days, under tho law, to pay tho demand mado upon it Among thie baulks thoro is a strongor feoling of scomity than at any time sinco tho failuro of Fisk & MHatch, Tho amount of ourrency in most of the banks is stoadily and rapidly in- orensing. Tho express roceipta of curronoy in this city yostordny wero 83,555,000, Which s $500,000 moro than has boon recoived during nny ono day sinco the new influx began. Ono groat roliof that will bo nfforded by those heavy receiptsa of money {8 the pay- mont of the notos maturing in banks nt this time. Tho Enstern rsilronds ro- port no special change from tho situation on Waodnosday, which meana that thoy aro shipping stock and grain a8 rapidly as thoir facilities por- mit. The Westorn roads havo ontiroly recover- od thelr business, which indicates that the money for grain haos already voached the farmora and country doalers, One of the most oncouraging fontures of tho day is to be found in tho roports from the manufacturing establishments, most of which Lave all thoy can do, somo of them working nights and Sundnys, Tho Chi- engo Rolling Mills, which employn 1,500 hands, bLas not yot discharged a einglo workman, and tho management foresco no nedés- sity for roducing oither in their force or wagos. Thore wae' on advanco of about 4 conts in wheat, and corn held tho prico of the proceding day. The shipments wers 216,000 bushels of whent aud 140,000 of corn. Tho bollef is oxprossod thot there is moarly cnough money oun ’Chauge to buy up all tho grain in Ohieago.. Tho wholeenlo merchants ropork that thoy are making their collections much more promptly than thoy had anticipated. Late in the day thore was a slight anxioly, owing to wild rumors on the street of now and serious troublo in New York, which was soon dissipated whon tho report was found to bowithout founda- tion. Buch rumors must be expected for some days to come, and thoy should not bo heoded un- il tlioy aro fully confirmed. . Tho failuro of Grinnell & Co., & firmof Now York brokers doing business for Vanderbilt, was tho, senaation of the day in New York, Thoy Lind beon' carrying Lake 8horo, Westorn Union, and Now York Central for Vaudorbilt, and had hypothecatod eoveral thousand shares of those stocks, distributing them ‘among thirty- threo differont brokers, Lawrence & Co., R, M. Sartshorno, L. T. oyt, and Lealt, Strong & Co., being montioncd a8 among -tho hoaviest bolders. Wheon the Griunell failure was first announced, it occasioned noither surpriso nor ansiety. Tho enbsequent information tbot tho fiin bad Leen put into baulk- rapley, aud that the Court had gront- e mu injunction reabalning tho lold- ers of their collaiernls from selling, caused great indignation. Tho offect of tho injunction iu to Jock up about §1,500,000 which might bo realized on tho sslo of tho stocks, Collusion i ‘freely oharged, in which Augustus Schell is said to be implicated, and tho fim hos been expelled from the Board, The failure of stock-brokors ot this time hns littlo sig~ nifiennce. The effect bas Dbeen discounted, 08 it was well known, when-the Exchange was cloged, that many brolers would bo compelled to suspond whenovor tho rules should bo enforced. Vanderbilt ecms to have adopted the Jay Gould policy of lotting his brokera suffer for his sinsj and, if othera go down, the commoreial commu- vity will be in no wise affected. Tha best featuro of tho sitwation in New York ig tho gradunl reduction of thoe loan-cortificates, ‘brought about by the regular payment of notes or tho salo of collaterals on which thoy were is- sucd, This nows is strengihened by the fact that greenbacks declined to two and threo conts premium over loan cortificates, which indicales that the Ilatter @re worlh from 2 to 8 conts moro than the day bofore, whon greonbacks were quotod as high ay 5 cents. Thoro was aled n shipment of £244,000, or about $1,220,000 gold, from Liverpooliyosterday, showing that tho domand for breadstufls is as- sorting itself. Tho signs aro encouraging all over tho coun- try. Inmany placos thero are no ovidences of o panio whatover, No suspeusions are roporied throughout tho Weat., A grent deal of monoy Ty gono iutotho country. The farmers havo ot no timo eporificed on their grain., When the prico declined there was no monoy to buy, and conscquently no sbipments made. Thig lasted only o fow days, and tho farmors have been getling about n dollar o bushel right along. ‘It s altogothor probable that the crops aro now moving moro rapidly, by way of reaction and .| onaccount of incrense in domand, than if thero -had boou no fnancial iy, Tho moveuwont of tho crops is the hinge upon which tho prosperity “of tha country turny, and it hus boon well lubid- cated with greenbucks during the past woel, HOW THE FARMERS CAN ‘ RESTORE CONFIDENCE.” It is the commonest remark of the day that tho present panio hing grown out of o waut of confl- “donco fu tho banks. Thoso who nro seoking for the cnuse attributo it in gonoral terma to tho vo- fusnl of tho banka to pay; and oven Ao woll con- ducted o jonruel ps tho Bt, Louls Jepublican jolus in the cry ngainat the bauks, ‘Thore has clearly beon & wank of confldonco, but its couso must bo pought oluewhero than in tho beuks thomselves, which are only tho thormgmoter showing what tho state of the woather ls. The function of a bank is to receivo and lond tho ciroulating eapitul of the country, This cir- culating capital s takon in by tho bank u the form of dopovits, It does not consist of actual curroncy, though payable in curronoy if demand- ed, It conswts, for insianco, of & cargo of wheat uflost, o cugo of dry goods or any other merchandiso {u translt from the pro- ducor to the cousumor, orof {ron in course of manufacture to the order of a railroad company, sguiust which the shippor or mauunfacturor hag mado & draft on tho purchaser, 'This draft, tho purchasor boing supposed to bo solvout, the bank recolvos an o doposit ; and it ia the multi- pliclty of such deposits that conutitutes 95 per cont of what the hank takes in over its counter, oud which oconstitutes its domand Uabilities, Tho enrrying of produce, or the rolling of iron into rails, ropreaents tho legltimato business of the country, and this kind of clroulaling capltal comprisos the bulk of what {4 called bank deposits, ho movoment of stocks or roal catato doos nob constituto any park of tho ciroulating oapital of tho country, and if Danks toucls theeo things they do wo ab thoir peril, Bpeculation In stocks ia mainly confined to Now Yorlk, and, beforo tho pamo, roquired tho uso of about fifty millions of bank doposity out of porhapu twolve hundred millions of such deposits in the wholo country,—tho remninder of which Is presumod to have boon employed in tho manuor wo Linvo desoribod. Of tho bank de- posits mado up in this way, not'mors than & por cont is In cucronoy—some nuthoritios say not moro fhan 3 por cont, Tho great bulk is in checks, bills, or drafts drawn against proporty in transit, or proporty in courso of production, which are equivalont to ench othor in making up the oxchanges of tho country, Ono elemont (v vory small ome, porhaps) of what ia called want of confidenco in the banks is & want of confidence in tho ability of the parties recelving this property to psy for it whon it arrives. Tho largest elemont of tho want of confidenco, howevaer, pertalns to morcantile paper, in which tho banks have invested tho bulk 'of the doposits at varying ratos of Intorest ; that ls, tho notos of hand given by morchanis who have borrowed this ciroulating capital for thirty, sixty, or nine- ty dnys, as tho case may bo, until tho consumers .of their morchandiso in turn can pay them. Tho largost amount of tho assots of a bank conaists of thoso promises to pay, and the main olemont of tho want of confldence, so faras it oxiets, is summed up in tho want of con- fidonce in tho ability of thoso who owe tho morchipnts to pay them, so that thoy in turn can pay the banks. Tho quostion, thereforoe, to con- sider in ootimaling this want of confidence is, whothor those who owo the city merchants will Do ablo to pay, and this brings us to the conntry merchants, and lastly to the farmors, who con- stitute in tho Wost 76 per cont of tho morchants’ debtors. Will tho farmors pay the mercHants 80 that tho merchants can pay tho banks ? That is tho situation in & nutshell. That they will bo able to do #o does not admit of question. Tho rapid maunor in which the orops are being moved and tho rapid mannor in which the flood of curroncy is pouring in here to move thom—at tho ratoe of throo millions por day—shows that businoss is recovering from tho shock, that the circulating capital of the country is onco moro In motion, that the farmora can poy tho mer- chants, (hat i€ they do go the morchanta can pay tho banks, aud that tho broks will thus be ena. Dled to restore confidence. The effects of pay- ment are olready shown to somo oxtont in tho bauks, on tho Board of Trado, in the quotations of grain and provielons, in tho business housos of tho city, on tho rail- ronds, and in the faces of tho poople on tho streots, It rests with the farmersto eavo overy- ‘body, inoluding thomselves, from tho disastrous consequences of o financial crisis. If they will uso tho money they aro now receiving to pay what they justly owe—no mors and no loga—the clouds will roll away. Lot them pay what thoy owe and then vote as thoy pleaso. If thoy walt to bo gued, and thereby push the country mor- chant into insolvoncy, and ho forces the city morchant into insolvency, tho worst conse- quonces may bo apprehended, If there should bo o genoral collapso, tho prico of grain would cerininly fall, along with overything olse; tho farmer would havo Jess to pay with than he bas now, and at the ond of much litigation and bard feeling thero would bo a reconstruction of trade on tho bosia of cash down. All tho country stores would bo placarded with the motto: ¢4 Trust wos o good dog ; Bad Pay killed him,"” THE 0SAGE CEDED LAND CASE, Ourdispatchos havo given an account of large mooting hold at Osage Mission, Kansas, on ‘Wadnesdny, for the discussion of aland question of mome magmtudo, which has lately excited considerablo fooling in that Btate, and has hero- tofore been oxtensively argued before the Secro- tary of the Interior at Washington, In tho year 1863, Cougress passod an act granting to tho Stato of Kansas the alternato sections of land along & strip of country 20 miles wide, to aid in the construction of a road from Fort Leavenworth, south through the Btato, in the dircction of Galveston, The pro- Jjected road was the ono sinco built and known 28 the Leavenworth, Lawrenco & Galvoston Roilroad. The grant waa to take offect upon the definite location of the lino of tha road, and any of tho lands which the Government might pro- viously bavealicuatod wore to be made up to tho Btato from other Govornment lands lying along tho lino of the road. At tho time of the passage of this act, tho Osago Indians owned a largo ros- orvation in the southorn part of Kanses, through which the projocted rond was to pass, Upon tho samo day that tho act granting lands to tho Stato in aid of building tho road was passod, an- ofhor nct was passed authorizing tho Prosident to procoed to mako treaties with tho Indians in Kaneas, and to oxtinguish their titles. Iu aoc- cordauco with this act, a treaty was, negotiated with the Ogago Indians, on tho 26th of Soptem- ber, 1865, which provided for tho sslo to tho United Statos of a strip off of tho onstern slde of thoir roservation, thirty miles in width, for tho sum of £3800,000, This s the -body of lands known ns the * Osngo ceded lands," and concorning which the diepoto in question bas arlsen, Tho treaty ox- prossly provided that tho lands should not bo open to soitlement by pre-omption or Lomestoad ontry, but should bo sold by tho Beeretary of (ho Iutorlor for cash, said lands to bo surveyed and sold as public lendsaro “under oxisting laws, including uny act granting lands to tho State of Kansns in aid of tho comstruction of & railrond through ooid lands.” Tho fourth artiole of tho troaty provided that nny settlers who might bo on tho lauda at tho timo of making tho treaty should havo tho privilego of pro-empting o quarter- section each at $1.25 por acre, and the rocords of the Land Department shiow (hat thoro woro only 148 sottlers who woro on tho lands and availed themsolvos of this provision of tho troaty. ‘Tlho treaty was proclalmed in March, 1807, and Immodintely theroupon tho Rallrond Company proccoded to loento its Iino, and applied to iho Gonoral , Lond-Oflce to huvo tho alternate seotions of land, ag provided in the act of 1809, withdrawn from sale, aud sot apart for tho rond. Tho Gommissloner, Mr, Josoph Wilson, doecided ihat, under tho troaty, the Company could not tako tho altornate soos tions, but tho wholo must bosold, An apponl wag talon to tho Beeretary of tho Interior, the Ton, O, A. Browning, who, aftor & thorough ox- amination of tho quostion, docided that tho grant of the act of 1808 nttached, and the State waa ontitled to the lands to aid in the bullding of the road ; and, upon tho8th of January, 1808, tho -, B, Ewing, Dopartmont formally withdow the lands from enlo In fayor of tho Btato for tho Ralirond Com- pany.

Thoroe is no doubt that the poition is ocorract, ‘There is nothing in the National Curronoy act, or its amondmonts, suthorizing o compulsory winding-up of a Nallonal Bank for tho rofusal to pay money on achock, Thoieisa provision for tho volun- tary liquidation of o bank which rofuees the pay- mont of checks, but,in cago tho bank doclines to adopt this process, thoroia only an indirgot and contingont moans for placing its affairs in tho hnuds of Rocoivor. A Rocoiver may bo appointed if the bank in question has notan amount of currenocy on hand equal to 26 por cont ot tha nggregato nmount of doposits and circn-~ lation in cortaln of tho largor oitics, and to 16 per cont, in all othor cities. There is o strong presumption, of courso, that no Nntfonal Bank will decline to pay currenoy to ita dopositors go long 08 It has the logal reserve ou hand or on amount approaching it, Liven when the resorvo is oxhausted, tho bank hag thirty days to malo it good aftor notlco is sorved that s Recoivor will bo appointod. The other provia- ions for the nppointmont of & Recelver ara: (1) ‘Whan therae is o deflcionoy in tho special surplus, which applies ouly to bauks of not less than §5,000,000 capital; (3) whon tho cap ital stock 18 bolow tho minimum; (3) in tho failuro on tho part of the bank to solect & rodeeming sgent or to rodeem its notos; (4) in tho failuro to sell off tho capital stockheld by thobanking nssociation as proserib- od by the law; and (5) whon a banle cortifles checks unlawfully,—that s, cortifying o chack when tho porson drawing it bas not tho nmount of money in bank specified by the check go cer- tifled.
