Creswoll, . 'TAE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN is bolng prossed upon tho neople thore sololy on tho theory that, unloss thoy olect Hughes and Lus tioket, the Washington Government will not build a onnal ncross the mountains for thom. To carry out this cheat, that lanky financlor, Jolin Bhorman, hos set.out for Virginia, Wwith Banford Conover and Willlam Windom,— two sages of about equal importanco in the pub- lio oconomy,—~in ordor to scom to bo inspecting tho canal, whilo, meantime, they take o hand in the campaign, This i8 public meannoss snd decolt unwortly of gontlemen or o Btato, It is the torrora of tho Protectivo systom turned in- ward, saying to o part of the country, as it soys to Nova Scotln or to tho Caua- dinn Dominion: *Join us, or we will fix up our tanift to your injury.” . The fact is patont to any observer, that thore §s no prospect of the Govorument building the Jomes & Kanawha Conal ; and, if thoro were, it would be con temptible to pivot the measare upon the politi- cal oxprosslon of the people to bo bonofited, It is ensy to find follows like Windom aud Conover working on this “lay ;" but thoro onght to boa Mmit to Johu Bhorman’s apnltow cunning, be- causo ho has some roapectablo conncetions and somu desire of dignity. Tho argument which had bettor bo sddressed to the Virginia spirit should be highor in object and motive. Nothing «vould answer botter with tho young soldiery in tho Valloy and tho tradesmen and farmors of Picdmont than to eet forward the nogro's dee sorts, tho fullness of his time, and the prac- tienl righteousness and statesmanship of nssimi- Inting him in the Commontwealth, MR ONEBWELL'S EFFORT, Tho Postmaater-Genoral is guilty of the sama appeal to sordid motivos in Baltimore Oity, and the offense is worst in bim a8 o part of tho Gov- ornmont. Ho drops tho innuondo that Mdry- 1and Liad bottor look ont and support his party, as Baltimore noods her port oleaned out and puri- fied, hor elnices widoned, sud so forth, Bupposo thoso things aro needod, bavo thoy anything to do with how men cnst their ballota ? Such argu- nionts are {n tho nature of bribery and corrup- tion, - DI, Oreswoll then proaches the now gospel of Fedoralism i the mattor of a universal Postal Bank, which sball pny 4 per cent and “halp the pooplo,” ‘whilo thoy, meantimo, bolp tho Goverumont, by buying it bonds,. Tho class of people who would su port such abank nrep tho depositors in tl‘:’s; prosent Savings Banks, aud theso Inttor banks ure already secured by investmonts in Govorn- went bonds. _Thoy probably own as many Goy- ernment bonds as tho National Bnnks koep in tho vaults of tho Ironsury. As o general rulo, tho Bavings Banks are perfoctly conservative and sound, and thoy invest what thoy do not Leep in Govornment or Blato eccuritios in mort- gnges on real estate and farms, quite 28 good aud #afo uses of tho mouoy a8 our politiciang would mokeof it with thelr larbor-joba and mountnin-canals, If the Bavings Banks were all “Ponling " not to pay dopositors, and there was & loud outery ngaiust thewn, and h’, algo, there waga want of maket for our bonds, Mr. Oros- well would bo in order; but he appoars to bo a rostless suggostor, fillad with towering schomes for porsonal famo which are not coneonant with tho structuro of our Government. When it comes to Do ille custom of dopositin, all iudividua] savings with tho Govornmont, i will gomo day como to bo compulsion to do eo, and Administrations will subsist npon such envings, and Uougrossmen mako jobs to employ tho monoy. Oue patornal benofaction will auggest anothor, and a man of Mr. Cres- woll's temporament never stops. As ho ox- prossed it, * Ho wanted to make his dopartment of tho Government do the most for tho people that it could.” If every departmont procecds on that supposition, after awhile the people thom- solves will have nothing to do, TOE MINNESOTA CONTRIDUTION, The Comptroller of thoe Currency, Mr, John Jay Knox, whoso organ sppears ta bo Bill King's paper, publiniod ot Minucapolis, on the lino of the Northern DPacific Railroad, is asked this question by the New York Nation : A Recefver of tho First National &L‘an‘m‘a) Dok wns appolutad, and 1s now in chargo of it, He roports that Llio found only §67,000 {n currenoy of aoll kinds, Novw, tho lnat bank-statoment showod that the bank Leld $140,000 In greenbucks of tho $100,000 {t was bound to I hold o8 reserve, Tho question “b What became of tho . difforenco?—and it {a suggested by tlio common bellef in Washington that all tho iufluential dopositors wore pald off before the sunds wcre turned oter to the Re- ceiver, on tho ground that they wero “gpecial dopos. itors,” Another is, Iow cawo tho United Siates to haye $287,000 (5187,000 illegally, bocause without any sccurity) ‘on doposit in this bauk, whon (he Treasurys vaults “ara on tho ofhior sido of tho strost?

To this I mny add that, ever aiuce NMr, Hul- burd's romoval,—at which time some ugly tosti- mony was givon about the Comptroller's oftico, high and low,—I havo within my sphere been uite 88 good a friend of the Deputy of that timo and Comptrollor-in-Chiof of this, as Jay Cooko & Co. It is quite probablo that a Comp~ troller who Acoke Hill King, and the grazing calvos on his stock farm who edit for King, to muko his oxplanations, is at tho moment non- plussed about gome publioduty ho has noglocted, Gonrolongo dotls mako cowards of ua all, Tho National Banks are solely regulated by tho Com troller and Lis Examinors.

If o chango in the Comp- rollor's worldly circumstances make him more sensitive about the sclvuxm{ of somo one partic- ular National Bank, Lo onght to rotato, not go into newspaper polemics, To quote (in & t:]][ htly modifled “form) his rash Minnesots ofendor : ‘Wo ore only surprised that the Government eliould rotuln him after tho inunmerable times Lis sbortcom= {ugs have been exposod, T!r.

It wns my Imnis- fortyno that I had no bank to give him.

The Bank of France is the most approved bank in Buropo, becauso it Lohaves closest to the otiquoite of renlistio and civilized banking ; it docs not, like your Amorican, Lauks, of tho Bank of England, nvest any of its surplus in real estate ; but tho amount of investments in the best nogotiable business-paper dotormines ita circulation, Its general success, considering our many disturb- ancos, i8 greator than that of the Bank of En- land, If it held mercly mortgages on land and ouscs, and thore was a sudden run upon it, its circulation would bo exhausted; but, as ita loaus are on business-paper, it has an claaticity ol cireulation ; for it can Increase its ourrency when thero is most need.

T'hat is tho difference betweon your merchants and those of Burope.
