A movement of significant importance to the general interests of -the country and preg- nant with results ofan economical and political character to the entire community has been consummated in this city during the past week. For the last six years efforts have been made by skilful and designing men to organize a general association of the national banks of the country for the purpose of enabling these institutions to act as a unit in matters of com- mon concern to them. During the past week this aim has been attained through a conven- tion held at the St. Nicholas Hotel, at which delegates from national banks in nearly every State in the Union were present, and the asso- ciation is now organized and in full operation for good or for evil. It assumes to he a vol- untary organization, but it will be readily seen by every. practical man that, as soon as any considerable number of banks begin to act together as a unit, the other banks must come into the organization and obey its behests, or be ruled out as “‘rats” that are not to be per- mitted to participate in the business and ex- changes of the country. ‘ Very few figures will suffice to show what a power this organization will possess in the land for political or other purposes. Accord- ing to the report of the Comptroller of the Cur- rency presented to Congress at the opening of the last winter session the total number of national banks at that date was 1,629. The amount of loans reported by them was a frac- tion over $3,351,000,000, This sum was dis- tributed in 1,755,283 distinct loans, and if we suppose that only two persons on the average were interested in each loan we find that an aggregate of 3,500,000 persons are affected by the’policy of the banks. Many of these loans were no doubt made to parties who were already borrowers, and the number is fictitiously great ; | but, on the other hand, as the policy of the as: 4 interest affects many personas who do nof appear as borrowers on their books, we may safely assume that three and a quarter millions of men, filling the most active circles of trade and manufacture, are bound, for weal or for woe, by the pocket nerve to the car of the National Banking Association. To this element of power we must add the significant fact that every Senator and Repre- sentative in Congress, in fact or in aspiration, is probably either a stockholder or director in some one of these banking associations, With this practical exhibit of the power the organization will possess we may now look at its professed motives of action. Mr. E. G. Spaulding, of Buffalo, in his opening address as chairman of the convention, after duly praising our national banking system as the best ever devised by human wisdom and stat- ing that it is so interwoven with tH@ business interests of the country agto form “ta commu- nity of interests between the banks, the gov- ernment and the people,” proceeded to say :— The object of this convention is to make a new organization which will aid in perfecting the system and as far as possible accomplish the benefi pur- poses intended by their organization, namely, sound and well managed business banks and a prompt redemption of their currency in gold and sil- ver. Itis very obvious that the country must pass through an important crisis before we reach specie payments and that there must be mutual aid and egg by all parties in accomplishing that result. But when will i@ payments be resumed? This ia a difficult ques' to answer. If the Supreme Court mye benerhn algo Sapo the Ke ny ae ich has been argued and sub- , if compel a retgra to Apegie, payments ataneariy day. But if no deci is made it is very uncertain when resumption will take place. Expressed in shorter and plainer terms, the acknowledged object of this banking associa- tion is to save themselves during the coming convulsions that will attend the transit of the country froma paper to a specie currency. All history shows that when great financial changes occur the banks are the first to take the alarm and to protect their own interest by pressing their customers to the wall. That we are approaching a period of great financial changes no sane man doubts, but what events will hasten or delay their development is one of the secrets of the future. Mr. Spaulding evidently thinks that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Kentucky case, which has already been argaed and submitted, may bring them about at an early day. Ali human decisions, not excepting even those of the Supreme Court, are more or less influenced by the emergencies of the hour, and principles bow before the needs of every community. Does it perhaps occur in this connection to Mr. Spanlding that a president representing sixteen hundred organized national banks might be listened to by a Supreme Court ? The fact is we are approaching @ great financial and political couvulsion, in which the | MexicoWhat shall We Do With i? old stormy discussions of the Jackson and Bid- We publish to-day @ short but crisp news dle period are to be repeated; when the arti- | letter from the city of Mexico. ‘The entire ficial contrivances and schemes of the bank managers to plunder the merchants and the people will be laid bare; when the political corruption that now feeds on banking and rail- road jobs, legislative concessions, land grants, tax levies and the innumerable paraphernalia of legislative halls and lobbies will be brought to account, and whoever shall be found to blame for any portion of the now growing evils will be assailed and swept away with all their proud franchises and privileges. As for the national banks, they already are obnoxious to much just complaint. The extraordinary con- cessions by which the government pays them eighteen millions of dollars a year in gold with- out service to the country of any character; their schemes by which periods of artificial stringency and relaxation in the money market are produced for their own profit; the facilities and stimulus they afford to mid- dlemen in every branch of trade to monopolize and carry products, for the purpose of fore- stalling consumption and keeping up prices, and their thousand and one contrivances to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, are working a steady change in the public mind against the present banking system. The new banking organization is for offensive and defen- sive purposes, and will play an important part in the future political struggles of the country. Business is king, and the rational banks aim to be the regent of the land. Is rr Trve?—It is said in_ London that Motley is more disposed than even Reverdy Johnson was to look upon everything done by an Englishman in high life as a special grace and favor to the human race—in fact, that he is the most desperate toady of the lot in the company of aristocrats. Ia the Boston libraries the ‘‘peerage” is better thumbed than any other volume. A “Tempest in a Tenpot.? This phrase is applied by a Putnam county paper to the prosecution of the pro- prietor of a hotel for allowing the refuse from his gas house to mingle with and contaminate one of the fountain heads of the waier from which the people of New York receive their supply. It is very true that the teapot has a good deal to do with the question. And how long is it since a baker's dozen of stalworth Down East lumber- men were poisoned unto death—according to the papers—simply by accidentally boiling a solitary lizard in a teapot? Now, take the case of the citizens of New York. Every well regulated family in the city has its teapot—if it do not there is likely to be a tempest among the women. Now, imagine the amount of poi- son boiled up in these teapots every morning and evening, all through the vile and deadiy stuff allowed to escape from a gas meter forty or fifty miles away, and dripping into a little stream, perhaps part of the time dry as a barn floor, but, nevertheless, one of the head waters of the great Croton lake. Imagine more than half a million lives daily jeopardized by this gas house poison boiled in the family teapots of New York. The Down East lizard story sinks into insignificance beside this unparal- leled and diabolical Lucrezia Borgfa plot to make way with the entire population of New York through the instrumentality of such a harmless family utensil as the teapot. If the whole matter were turned over to the consider- ation of a tea-party commission, composed of old women, a proper solution would be speed- ily arrived at and the monster guilty of this enormous crime receive condign and well- merited punishment. Every teapot in the city is at this moment already boiling over with indignation. MANDARIN BURLINGAME is confident now that his success in his great mission is certain. Lord Clarendon has proved a liberal ally in difficulties. Both Europeans and Americans in China, as it is not generally known, were in actual conspiracy against him, and much of the recent Chinese news was manufactured to damage his career. Mr. Brown, his secretary, who has a thorough knowledge of the Chinese language, is an attaché of the British Embassy { at Pekin, and is on leave, and a final blow was aimed at Burlingame in the recall of this gen- tleman. Here Clarendon came to the rescue, here gave Brown indefinite leave of absence, and declared his own faith in Burlingame’s policy.

They have taken special note of the tendency of our peo- ple toward hotel life, and, like George III. with Patrick Henry's treason, are disposed to make the most of it. ‘Women thieves board at the hotels regularly and pursue their avocation with patient security, and men thieves take a room for a night asa base of operations from which they descend on the several neighboring apartments, Murper Most Fout.—No recent crime has shown a more reckless disregard of life than that of Hastings, who killed the keeper of a rum shop in Houston street, Toe Conrssrgp Sgat.—The case of McVeany and Culkin, before a committee of the Board of Aldermen, is closed, though no decision is yet given. McVeany submitted as his case a judgment of the Supreme Court and a frothy argument from an astonishing legal light, and Culkin submitted his certificate of election, &c. As the case has previously been heard by the Board on its merits and been decided in Culkin’s favor, and now only comes up apropos to the order of the Supreme Court, there can be little doubt that the decision will be that the Supreme Court has no juris- diction. War, Pxstinence AND Famine.—Diseases incident to the climate and the season are already raging in Cuba, and the camps of both sides suffer. Cholera, dysontery and the vomito may not subdue the resolve of tho Cubans to be free, but no resolve of less moral grandeur than this can withstand such forces, and we suspect they will subdue the desire of the Spaniards for power and dominion. Soon in Cuba the war will subside to such a state of suspended animation as we observe in the war of Spain with the South American republics, which will insure security to life and progress to the country, The Mexican people are anxions and will watch most jealously the behavior of Mr, Nelson and an outcropping of Grant's Mexican policy.” This is a graphic and exact picture of the condition of the public mind ia Mexico, The growth of the contiguous northern republic is projecting the shadow of @ colossal figure over the land, which every man sees and recognizes. Those have interests at stake in the commercial ¢! of the coun- try contemplate it hopefully, while those whose welfare is connected with the landed and labor interests logk at it doubtfully and suspiciously because they know not how the impending and inevitable change will affect them. No sensible man—ao, not even a sensible, thoughtful Mexican—believes that order can be established permanently in Mexico with- out the interposition or aid of some other na- tion more powerful and more advanced ia civ- ilization, and there is no nation that can inter- pose or give a helping hand but the United States. As ‘o the development of the won- derful natural resources of that country and its progress in wealth and population, the Mex- icans can do nothing .themselves. Decay is seen everywhere. Though one of the richest and most beautiful countries in the world, a moral, political and material blight rests upon it, from which there is no recovery but by the infusion of new social, political and industrial elements. The day of either Spanish or na- tive power has passed. Neither can hold Mex- ico up to the progressive spirit of the age or even to her present position. Under purely native Indian rule or that of the mixed races she must decline. The spasmodic efforts made under the government of the Indian chief, Juarez, to preserve Mexico are credit- able enough, but nothing has been accomplished in the way of harmony or pro- gress, nor could that government itself have preserved its existence but for the United States. The Mexicans may struggle against their fate and talk, as they are accustomed to talk, bombastically of their own powers of re- cuperation and of maintaining their national integrity, but their decay is beyond remedy, and they have to follow the fate of many greater nations in history in this inevitable aWsolution. . These results are recognized in the re- cent speech of the retiring United States Minister at Mexico, General Rosecrans, on the occasion of a public dinner in the city of Mexico. General Rosecrans admits there is no hope for the future of Mexico but in the infusion of new elements, as those of immigra- tion, railroads and other means of progress. But he remarks that these new clements must come soon or hope will be lost. He speaks, however, at the same time of'Mexico preserv- ing her own antonomy. That is anerror. It is the fatal error that now holds the Mexicans back from progress, The fear of losing their autonomy has _ prevented immigration, improvements and _ progress, and is fast ruining the country. Nor will the American government and people undertake to improve Mexico and give her good institutions and liberal aid every way without sovereign power over the territory. We cannot undertake a mere protectorate over such a troublesome and helpless people. We must have the country, and then, with possession, population from every part of this country, with capital and enterprise, would pour into Mexico. ,It would be the history of California over again. The new elements would revolutionize in a peaceful manner old decaying Mexico, and we should have a new state of things, which would be far better than this humbug of a mere sentiment about pre- serving the autonomy of the nation. The only hope for Mexico is in admission to the Ameri- ' can Union, and the sooner her people find that out the better. That is the only autonomy worth talking about or that is practicable on this North American Continen t. What Mexico needs is an insight to the manner in which this is to be attained, and a short view of its practical working after the step is taken. The problem of the manner must be worked out in Washington and con- stitutes the great policy which is to succeed the Monroe doctrine on this Continent. The resolution of General Banks, offered during the recent session of Congress, for the extension of a protectorate over St. Domingo, had a loaning in the right direction, but was inade- quate to the great work before us. What is wanted is a clear and distinct enunciation of the fact that any of the republics south of us which desire to come into the American Union on equal terms with the existing members will meet a favorable consideration in Washington, with the assurance that their local and munici- pal legislation will not be disturbed and that all private rights will be respected. The re- cent amendments to our constitution make this step feasible to the republics south of us, and one successful example is all that is required to carry our boundary, without purchase or conquest, to the Isthmus of Darien. Wuen all the bishops are gathered in Rome at the Ecumenical Council there will be a fine time for the devil all around the world.

General Grants Admluistration.
