= FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SUNDAY, Dec. 37, 1868. ‘The advocates of @ contraction of the national currency would do well to study certain facts in con- ection with tne monetary statements of the banks of this city for tue pasi few weeks. It appears that ®reenbacks have veen going to the South for some ‘time past at the rate of about $300,000aday. This @uoney goes to stay. It goes to pay for the cotton ‘crop, and as the South is not in debt to the North it ‘will not come back again. Im olden times the Planters, in their luxury and extravagance, ased to live beyond their means, and fre- a bonght goods and borrowed money New York before the cotton was even put Jn the ground. ‘he war has changed all this. Our uerchants do a strictly cash business with the South, @nd the tendency amgng the Southerners themselves Bs to do a casi business with each other. The pre- fon cotton crup is, therefore, unmortgaged. Tne joney will be used in great part to expand cotton ture and the otner industries of the South. Of urse & portioa of it will come back some time ence in purctiase of machinery and manufactured oods, but the ureat bulk of it will remain where it tas gone, The banks will get the money back when he cotton is svldyto Europe. The distribution of backs over the South and West will relieve the lundancy co.apiained of and bring their value, ventually, to @ par with gold, The cotton crop ais year 18 estimated at 2,600,000 bales. In 1860, just before the war, it reached almost 6,000,000 bales. hat is to preveat the annual crop from being ex- anded to this or # siill greater quantity? Cotton is ur gold. An excessive cotton crop in the future would make our puper money worth @ premium. Tn view of these jacts and the approach of the pe- ‘tod for the usuai quarierly statement the exhibit of ‘he banks for tic Week ending yesterday is not re- pete agan uniuvorableone. There is a contrac- ton in the item vf ioaus and a decrease in specie, ae- ‘posits and legal tcuders.

It is announced ‘rom Washington tuat the January coupons will be id on Thursday next, the 30th inst., and the Sub- #freasurer began to-day to give out checks therefor ‘dated January i, 1899, This will givethe banks an opportunity of appearing well in the quarterly state- ‘ment, as some twenty millions of gold will be dis- {eributed in this city.

He was more success- ful at another p! » on the corner of Elm and Mul- berryl where the attending clerk was not quite so cautious or inquisitive. On his way home the poison purchaser drank two-thirds of the two ounces, and soon after arriving there asked his wife, to whom he had been married but about three months, for writing materials, Ere he had commenced — writing, however, be became drowsy and undressed and _ retired. His wife by this time fearea that something was not ht, and in answer to her entreaties he told her what he had done. she immediately sent for a Dr. Piper, who, after nearly three hours’ labor, was successful in saving the man’s life.. It appens the cause of his rashness was that his wife had chided him severely for remaining from home on Christmas night. He is a native of Massachusetts and a bar- keeper by occupation. The doctor thinks that he owes his life to a large quantity of hot whiskey which was in the stomach at the time he took the poison. MILITARY NOTES, ‘The grand event. of next week in National Guard circles will be the Ninth regiment bali at the Aca- demy of Music, Tne committee has been a long time engaged in preparing for it, and has performed the arduous work entrusted to it in 8 manner that will be iully ap; by the fashionable and numerops assembiy which will certainly fill the Aca- demy on Tuesday, the 6th of January. It was in this column some months since that a howitzer battery was being formed in the Eastern district of Brooklyn. The movement has now assumed a better shape, and it is quite pro- bable that the organization will soon be completed. Brooklyn is to have a new armory at the corner of pret and Brunswick avenue. The Twenty- e infantry and the Second cavalry will be organizations benefited by the erection of the The Thirty-seventh regiment has succeeded, through the active exertions of Captain Cox and Lieutenant Owens, in obtaining the approval of a requisition for 300 uniforms.

Wi was pre- sented with a stand of colors by Adjutant General Marvin, on behaif of the State, at tne State Arsenal, Brooklyn. on Wednesday evening ast. Perhups the worst feature in our army organiza- tion is the absence of the military services of ments serving in unhealthy and remote regions regularly relieved by others at the expiration of a certain period. In this country, however, some regiments are apparently singled ‘out for perpetual banishment to out-of-the-way and most unde- sirable localities. For instance, the Fifth United States artillery has been stationed in the South since war. Batteries I, K, , and all of the regiment garrison Fort Fever, better known as Dry Tort and the remaining batteries occupy Key West, ir. rancas, Fla., and Forts Macon and Johnson, N. U. The extract from a letter from M. Arthur A the talented sergeant major of the Fifth, which we published yesterday, gives @ lively picture of the blessed locality first mentioned. It is time that this regiment should be relieved by some other; and, in- deed, it is time that the entire administration of the army should be overhauled. ‘The following officers have been elected in the Thirty-seventh regiment:—Thomas H. Kedway, First Lieutenant, Company A; Hamlet Hart, Second Lieu- tenant, Company A. Lientenant Kedway, at the or- the regiment, was elected First Liea- tenant of gy!

How They Deo Business—What They Do— Change of Base. The raid of the Bohemians upon the grocers, butchers, millers and flour dealers has been so fully exposed in these columns that everybody may know what little degree of credit the statements and changes made by this class of newspaper writers are entitled to, Indeed, it 18 too honorable for them to call them “writera” or “newspaper men;”’ they are seribblers, at best, and as for news, they are worth about as much to a live journal as an ounce of old rags is toa paper mill. It was'to be hoped thatthe fellows, after being so minutely characterized, would conclude, for a time at least, to hold in their sluices of blackmail and denunciation; but it seems tnat the originators and patrous of this sensational humbug have yet a supply of the stuff on hand. Be this sit may, one thing is certain—that, however un- pleasant the work, it becomes the duty to give the public @ still better insight into the ways and means the Bohemians employ to *‘do” their business. To make money isall they care about. They fol- low the behest, “Make money, honestly if you can; but make money.” And as an honest mode of earning their livelihood is almost beyond their grasp or comprehension, they endeavor to ‘make money” otherwise. It is well known that every dealer in household goods advertises largely about a week or two before any holiday season. The blackmailing Bohemians knew that, and they believed that this was the proper time for them to make a “strike,” They went about among the grocers and other dealers, soliciting ad- vertisements, and with what luck they met the fol- lowing conversation, which actually occurred ata ares: establishment on Greenwich street, may serve as a type:— Mr. Mouser, or Touser, or Smirk, or it may have been one of tae ubiquitous family of Smith, cailed and requested to see the “‘tirm.’” tt aad am the man, sir; what is it you wisl MovusgR—The season coming dround, I am solicit- ing advertisements for the Our rates are generally higher than those I am enabled to offer You, but fifty dollars for a column will be as low as I can agree to. MBRCHANT—What paper did you say? MovsER—The a MERCHANT—Phew! That has too bad a smell about it. advertise In the HeraLp, and that brings me more than three times the money I spend. MouseR—But the is read by gentitemen— MERCHANT—That’s enough; | said no, and no it is. ‘This was a clincher, and no more was said about the advertising sonne but Mouser, or Touser, or Smurk, or whatever his name may be, asked for a bottle of brandy, whiskey, rum or anything to ‘keep his jacket warm," and this being also refusea the fellow left with piercing arrows in his eyes. He returned, however, on the next day, and as soon a3 he wasseen entering the store he was beckoned not to come any further, as his absence would be more agreeabio than ns company. he went, cursing and swearing in an undertone, forgetting all the many bottles of spirits ne had begged and obtained at this same place before this, and but afew days after that this merchant was announced to trade in adul- terated articles and to seli under wejght. This is one of the occurrences, of which many others hap- pened alike, which go far to show the spirit that animated the Bohemian Mouser, or Touser, or what- ever his name may be, in preparing his list of ‘“P1l- ferers and Rogues.” But the Bohemian has now got on another tack, or rather line of attack. He is leaving the grocers and other retail dealers, finding that he can make no money out of them, owing to the exposure of his tricks, and now he dives mto chemistry and pro- poses to analyze the spices. Were his own works anything like spicy one might be led to suppose that he had some knowledge of spice. But, being fat and insipid, his efforts in this regard are amusing. In this labor he has not even the support of a name, but he refers merely to somebody who has been en- faged in the manufacture of spices and who let him into the secret of how they are made. 8 a8 the Bohemian is as @ journalist, it is very probable that his acquaintances are bogus tradesmen and manu- facturers, and if they cheated the ple by false weight and adulterated wares {t only shows what an ingrate this Bohemian is in “going back” on his own friends. ‘That adulterations are numerous in the market, in articles of food as well aa in drugs and in everything else, no one will or can deny; but it is from the ver, persons whom the Bohemian delights to praise, wit! whom he is on intimate terms, for whom he will write column after coluinn of iaudatory articles, that these adulterations proceed. If against these a safeguard can be established the public would be the gainers; but the prohivitory and punitory provisions of law against adulterations should include the bogus jour- nalist, yclept Bohemian, as well. CRIME IN ILLINOIS. Horse Stealing and Lynching. {Vtenna, Johnson county, lll. (Dec. 22), correspond- ence of the Missourd mocrat, affair both tragical and melancholy has just occurred in this county. On last Saturday two des- calling themselves “Texas rangers’’ and on their way from Kentucky to Texas, were passing th this county when one of them rode boldly into the yard of one of our best citizens and farmers, Captain A. Franklin, and exchanged his jaded animal for one of the Captaln’s finest horses. As soon as the Captain heard of it he and some of his neighbors went im pursuit of them. On being closely pressed by the Captain the thief stopped his horse, drew a revolver and taking deliberate aim at him shot four times. The first shot, fired when the Captain was some fifty yards behind, shattered his shoulder bone; the seo- ond struck his horse near the nostrils, rendering the animal thereby wholly uncontrollable; the third entered the Captain’s breast, and the fourth, fired as the infuriated animal dashed by, entered the Cap- tain’s side, causing instant death. This occurred about one o’clock. The facts becoming known, immediately the whole neighborhood was aroused, and horsemen were on every road and petaway that the murderer could possibly take effect his escape. Being hotly pursued and finding that his horse was gi out, he left him and took to the woods. He was then quickly captured, and be and his partner were then placed under a strong at a house near the scene of the an a ‘aptain Franklin was one of our most highly es- teemed citizens. He entered the war early in the conffict and served with credit to himself and his regiment, Since the war he has been actively en- gaged asafarmer. His sudden and horrible death seemed to infuriate his neighbors, and about one o’clock on Sunday morning four blackened men forced their way into the house where the prisoners were being guarded and attempted to wrest the mur- derer from the guards. Being driven from the house they got reinforcements, again forced their way into the house and dragged the wretch forth to & tree near by, where they hung him. Nota word was spoken by the men, agd the murderer did not piead @ ayliable of mercy# He was a man of ver: prepossessing appearance, quite Intelligent, an claimed to be a son of one of the frst lawyers of Bowling Green, Ky.
