FININCIAL, AND COMMERCIAL DIES NON. Thoughts for Stockholders and Depositors. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OFFICIALS. Some of the Causes of Defalcations and Careless Bank Management. THE CURRENCY QUESTION AGAIN. “Dught We to Return to Specie Payments---What Is Congress Going To Do About It? OE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, | + WALL STREET, ‘ say, Nov. we ists, This being one of the national holidays, the Stock Exchange, Gold Board and ail places of busi- messin and around Wall street were closed. In the absence of the usual themes suggested by the market it is pertinent to call attention toa sub- ject which should have been investigated before. We refer to the number of failures which have re- cently occurred incorporate financial institutions, How many of these tiave been weil and judiciously governed? Take, for an illustration, the Bowling Green Savings Bank. The President was interested as an oficer in other kiridred institutions. The President of the Guardian Savings Bank was Wil- Mam M. Tweea, who was also adirector in sundry Anetitations, one of which—the Ocean National Bank—notably came to grief. N ‘ ““ THE BROOKLYN TRUST COMPANY possessed as a sécrétary Rodman, who at the same time was the Deputy Treasurer of the city of Brooklyn, asing ‘his position in the one office to serve his purposes in or-out of the other. The di- Tectors of the concern were men well and favora- bly ‘known in the business and social community, and some of them filled places of trust im other banks and ‘corporations. So in the Union Trust Company. One of its chief oMecers, a useful and prominent man, was an officer in the Western Union Telegraph Company, New York and Harlem, New York and’ Mahopac, New York Central and Hudson River, Laxe Shore and Michigan Sonthern, Toledo and Wabash, Union Pacific, Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburg, and Butfalo ana Pittsburg Railroad companies, Of two of the foregoing companies he ‘was also vice president, and, probably, is identified with other corporations of lesser prominence. How many other men have thus diffused them- selves over the community and are to be found generously engaged in the management of moneyed corporations? The EXTREME LIBERALITY of these gentlemen in thus giving their time and services to the stockholders of the institutions in which they figure as directors is, indeed, worthy of all praise; but where do they get the time to at- tend to such a multiplicity of affairs and do justice to each office, to say nothing of their own large Personal business? Do they not, in short, deiegate their power to subordinates, and in shirking duty invite the perpetration of fraud? The question 1s one of great moment to all who are interested in the stability and security of our financial institu- tions, for unquestionably there does exist a lack of responsibility on the part of such directors to both stookholders and depositors, and, as has been several times iliustrated, a criminal careless- nesd In the management of the trusts which they are called upon to guard. Who for @ moment believes that Mills and Rodman‘ could have. so successfully depleted the Brooklyn Trust Company if its directors had done their duty? or that the Union Trust Company would have been robbed of hundreds of thousanas of dollars? or thar the Atlantic Bank would have suffered at the hands of Taintor? In tne instance last named it: has been stated that aman whose name for years had appeared among the list of directors never attended a meeting of the Board. Can it be possible that the names of these gentle- men are only used as advertisements or as the veneering that gives a glossy outside to A SHAM RESPECTABILITY? Now, “what is the community going todo about it?” Heretofore tte people have had faith in cor- vorations because of the integrity of their oMficers; but recent events go far to demonstrate that this confidence was a:delusion and usnare. Frequent delalcations and breaches of trust have shaken it to the core. The remedy for this condition of affairs is in laws, which first shall make directors responsible to stockholders for the faithfal' performance of their duties,,and second, prohibit an officer, director, trustee or manager of @ financial institution from holding at the same time two offices of a similar character. This ‘would prevent the officers of one corporation from using its funds for the benefit of another. Irre- sponsibility and corruption have long enough gone hand in hand, and the commercial pubic would gladly welcome an amendment, The subjects of SPECIN PAYMENTS, REFORM IN OUR CURRENCY AND FREE BANKING will come before Congress for discussion at an early period of the session, when the doctors will begin their work of tinkering at the patient. The report of Mr, Spinner, the plans of General B. F. Batler ‘dnd Senator Sumner, and the memorials of the New York Chamber of Commerce, with scores of other propositions, will doubtiess engage the attention of both ‘branches of the national Legislature for a long time to come, and it is tobe hoped that out of the mass something like a feasible and healthy system may ‘be adopted that will accora with the growth and growing wants of ourcountry. A meeting of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ‘will be held to-morrow, to consider various phases of the financial question, that are suggested by the Majority and minority reports of the committee. The majority report makes the fcllowing pointa:— First—That the pufchase ot United States bonds jbe suspended, if not already suspended by the force of circumstances, Second—That the redemption of United States egal tender notes be commenced on the 4th d of May, but that the power of reissue be continued, ‘That tbe Sub-Treasury in New York be the aj pointed place, with liberty to the department jFedeem at other pointe aiso, if convenient, | Third—That provision be made for the fandin, \Of @ portion of if the addition ot gold to.the other money of | pear to render such a measure necessary. ‘phat the national banking law be amended in the followin, ticulars :— ‘| By @ more stringent requirement as to the re- Serve of 25 per cent jor the redemption of bank in- e e respective antete 4 tw eats : ae ‘0 practical defects in the extstin; daw.

Your votes arbitrated their strife, and equitably adjusted the political power of the State. In some counties your State ticket ‘Was sacrificed to the superior attractions of local offices, and in others te an inclination to the for- tunes of individual candidates. Thus, for various reasons, 24,274 liberals voted the entire Democratic State ticket, as will appear irom a comparison of the votes for the democratic and repubilcan State tickets im 1871 and 1873, ‘The vote of 1871 is se- lected for this office, obviously for the reason that the Targe vote of 1872—a Presidential yeur, and, therelore, exceptional—forbids its comparison with any of the off years of the calendar.

To have lost in the same rate with the republicans the democrats should have lost 52,602 votes, But the figures show that their loss was only 28,428, Now it 18 certain that many liberals abandoned their own ticket and voted the entire democratic State ticket.

Tms difference, 24,274 votes, added to the liberal vote for the Elmira State ticket, of 7,423, shown in the majority o1 Hopkins over Thayer, gives 31,597, the sum of liberal voters at the last election. Both democrats and republicans were interested tobear down the vote of the Elmira ticket; the democrats to divert liberal votes to their own ticket, and the republicans to exterminate them altogether. Accordingly in New York city where, under the patronage of the Police Commissioners, such Villany flourishes, the difference between the liberal vote, as disclosed by the average ma- jorities of the candidates for Judgeship whom they endorsed, over those whom they did Not endorse, viz, of Lawrence over Dono- hue on the democratic ticket, and of Fan- sher over Van Brunt on the republican tickét, and the vote allowea to the £lmira State ticket, shows the number of liberal votes that were fraudulently suppressed. That average majority is 6,093, and tue vote allowed for the Elmira ticket being 2,613, the difference is the amount in which the liberals were deirauded of votes cast in New York city for their State ticket— Viz., 3480, Actual proois also show that in other counties of the State the same malpractices pre- yailed, resulting in a probable suppression of at least 2,500 liberal votes. Now these two sums, added to the 31,597 votes previously ascertamed, produce 37,577 as the sum total of liberal strength in the November election. Tnough irauds were expected, it was impossible to prevent them. When our numbers are considered; our want not only of the pupeore 1 the press, but our subjection to its unceasing invective and misrepresentation, and our pressure between republican hate on the one side and democratic eagerness for our votes on the other, the wonder is not. that we were cheated so much, but that our State ticket was allowed any votes at all. Fellow liberals, the success which has crowned your enterprise, having aiready, doubtiess, doubled your strength, you should be admonished to shun a temporizing attituae between contending poltti- cal factions in the tuture. Seli respect opposes it; principle forbids it, Adapting your efforts to your olitical fortunes, you wisely graduated your action yy your necessities, and selected your candidates at kimira from those nominated by the democrats and republicans, Sterna party lines, you made the candidates whom you selected your own. Elected by your Votes, their election is your tri- umph, an cause 0: pure government upheld by individual worth triumphs with you. While your organization wil be distinct ‘hencetorth, as it ‘has been hitherto, an advancing public opinion, will oblige ‘you hereaiter to act independently of ail parties, From the balance of power you must become the power it- self, Thongh you have done much, more remains to lone. OMctal, dishonesty has been checked ; it must be crushed: Official peculations have been exposed; they must be punished, and the insolence of the ofMice-hoider humbled, Pubjic fidelity begins to be honored in the disrepute of Crédit Mobiliers, in the disgrace of increased salaries, and in the infamy of back-pay grabs, The light has been serned, JH upon venal legislation, but it yet re- mains to scourge the profigate legisiator, The constitution must be made to limit future Presi- dents to one term of office, and to provide that they be elected by a direct vote of the people. The encroachments of federal authority on the right of local seli-government must be repressed. The municipal righta of Mcorporated cities must be retrieved from usurping. legislatures, Oppressive railroad monopolies and the whole system of transportation between the producing and con- suming sections of country must be overhauled and corrected. The farmer, the first creditor of the State, must be protected, and his bro- producers, the mechanic and the laborer, mnst be cherished.

Wasuinaton, Nov. 27, 1873. The Secretary of the Interior, in Lis annual re- port, regards the situation in the Indian Service as favorable and as a vindication of the propriety and the practicability of the humane policy which was inaugurated at thy beginning of President Grant's executive term, and which has governed the De- partment in the transaction of all business matters pertaining to the conduct of Indian affairs. ‘That policy has for its main object and aim the re- straint and ‘elevation of the wild tribes of the tronuer through firm but kind treatment. That progress has been made in the establisbiment of ‘the policy aud in at improvement of the condition of the indians reached by itis shown by the increased interest in educational mac. ters, & growing Willingness on the part of the Inc dae to engage: in» industrial pursults, ‘a desire for the division of lands, and an increase of stock and farm products The secretary stated that the peace polics was originally intended’ to accomplish this result an says It was Not, of course, to be expected that so radical & change in the management ot widely scattered bands of Tov.ng indians, whose ouly restrictions hitherto has been their own capricious inclinations, and who roamed at Will over Vast regions oi country, could be effected with- out resistance ou their part, and # show of torce on the part of the government. such ¢ result was never anticl- pated even oy the most sanguine friends of the uew pol- 40% And the various wpedunents waich have trom time 6 time intercepted and obstracted the operations of. the Indian Bureau, have not, therefore, discouraged the rea- sonable hopes oi final success which its active iriends have aiways entertained. factory progress towards the accomplishment of Sai p the ends soughito be attained by this policy nas already beem made, tully justitying the hope that it will even- tually eve the end in view.

It seems to be an unvaryi sult of such payments in money that the Indians are 12 Worse Condition in every respect than tf they re- ceived payment in goods and in supplies, and it appears in many Cases that those receiving the most money are in the worst condition, Money seems to bruwalize in- stead of civilize, as they are iguorant of ity value and un- able to use it with aby discrevon. ‘the reguit is that in a shorg time alter the receipt of the cash annuities they are iound ina state of great destitution, ‘the recom- men Jommissioner of indian Affairs tuat such payment be hereafier made in goods and supplies, even if it be found necessary to modify the freatias to enable the change to be, mage, meets with my | unqualifed | approval, | Int I desire — to connection refer particularly to certain moneys due to the prairie bands of Pottowa- tomies, a3 weil as certain sums which ure expected son to be to the credit or the Kansas indians, whick under existing treaty stipulations and laws are required to be paid to said bands of Indians respectively. It is very desirable, in my opinion, that the sums here reterred to should be held and regarded by the government as funds for the Civilization of these several bands of Todians, as would be demoralizing, and thereiore improper, to pay said sums over to the indians to be squandered. 1 shall, therefore, present to the proper committees of each house of Con? gress during the present session bills providing that the tums of money here referred to be invested in govern- ment bonds and placed to the credit of ‘suid Indians respectively, for the parnces, of their civilization, to be used by the Commissioner of Indian affairs for that object, both interest and principal, at such umes and in such.mnanner us the President of the United states nay direct. 1t is likewise detrimental to the substantial improvement of the race that they are compelled to hold their lands in common. such community ot inter- est operaies as & premium upon indoleuce add unthrilt, and places a# discouraging burden upon those who ure willing to Work apd who desire to acquire property.

It will be iound to be a measure of mercy to all iL such Indians can be ate: a3 they deserve. ' The encroach- ments by the whites upon the reservations set apart for the exclusive occupancy of the Indian is one prolific source of trouble in the management of the reservation Indians, and, therefore, measures should gre adopted to prevent such trespasses in the iutcre. or very serious collisions may be the result ‘the ment has a twotold object in confining the Indians to their reservations—to prevent their encroachments upon white settiers, and to isolate them as tar as possible from association With white people. This cannot be accomplished it whites are allowed to trespass at will Upon the reservations. bese remarks apply with GFeatest force to the so-called Indian Territory south ot ansas. The Secretary says the Sioux nation is almost com- pletely surrounded by tribes t.atare really triendly to the government and at the same time bitterly hostiie to the Sioux. if these friendly wi could be liberally supplied with improved firearms and ammu- nition the present supremacy of the Sioux might ina fow years be destroyed with but little ald from the army, and quiet would prevail over the vast exteni of country Row roamed by that powerful nation, Attention is m- Vited to the eleventh article of the Treaty of 1308 with the Sioux nation, granting them certain hunting privi- Jeges within the State of Nebraska and without the bounds of their reservation. Ou account of the violation of the other provisions o! that treaty by the Sioux, and the scarcity of game in the country retérred to, the gov- ernment will, the Secretary thinks, be justified tn abro- gating that article, and be respectiully suggests such action. Satistactory progress been made within the year in the reduction of the area oi exisiing reservations, in the exchange of reservations lying within the range of advancing settlements and railroad construction, for other locations equally desirable for all purposes of In- dian occupancy, as well as in bringing tribes upon reser- Yations for the first time, and in the removat of other tribes to the Indian Territory, All this is the legitimate result of the working ot the existing policy, aud the efforts of the department in that direction have heen un- remitting. Several important negotiations have been concluded during the year looking to the change in the be of tribes and the reduction in the area ot reser- vations. The eres which the Modoc difficulty has tur- nished the Indian Office will, it is believed, enable that office to take measures calculated to prevent the recur- Fence of like difticuities under similar circumstances. It is now the intention of the government to separate the members of this tribe and place them witn ditlerent bands of Indians, taking care, in doing this, not to sepa- Tate tamilies, and to keep together, iF &8 possibie, Wo- men and children whose husbands and male relatives were Gemeroret in the contiict he Indian w rent, attached to his tribal organization, and itis be- ieved this example of extinguishing their ‘so-called na- tional existence and merging their members ipto other tribes, while in reality humane punishment, Will be es- teemed by them as the severest penalty tha: could have been inflicied, and tena by its example to deter hostile Indians in iuture from serious and flagrant insurrec- tions. ‘The lawless condition of the Indian Territory, the grow- ing insecurity of | ie and property and the manifest idis- Position of the tribes there resident to accept voluntarily any improved torm of government whereby existing ditheuities might be avoided would seem to cail tor some legislation to affect an improvement in the status of the territory: | it as, he ava, to be regretied that the Qcmul- gee constitution, with the amenaments heretotore sug- gested by You, Was not adopted by the Council of Tribes, ty whom’ it’ was submitted, as I am well con: vinced that such action on their part would have been attended by the most beneficial results. Recent information indu the belief that the opposition heretotore offered to these amenaments by the Indians will be withdrawn at the next neeting ot their Council, and that the constitution wall be adopted as amended. If it shall not be adopted and Congress shail not deem it Advisuble to erect a territorial government within the Indian Territory, I trust that the necessary legislation may be obtained to at least provide for the organization of 4 court or courts therein, under the jurisdiction, so far as the appointment of ‘the judicial’ officers is con- cerned, of the federal government. The necessity which Dow compels the resort to court in an adjoining State involves & burden of expense to I 18, as Wellas to our government, which o imost a bar to fus- Hce and produces a condition of anarchy throughout the Terri under which life and property are in Jeopardy to an extent almost equal to that in territory occuplea by tribes making no pretence of civilization, take pleasure in being able to say that this Depart- ment has had, daring the past year, the cordial ana garmest co-operation of the, Secretary of War the officers of the army, in Gy out its policy of dealing with the various Indian tribes. ‘This, with the valuable aid and assistance which has been rendered by the Board of Indian Commissioners, and especially its President, Hon.

ARKANSAS. Revolt of Prisoners—Citizens Killed and Wounded=Probable Lynch Execution of a Murderer. 5 complicat Livre Roor, Nov. 27, 1873. News was received here last night from Clarks- ville that om Tuesday evening the prisoners in the jail there surprised and overpowered the guard, seized their arms and took possession of the building. On learning of the capture citizens surrounded the building in large numbers, well armed.

FLEETWOOD PARK. The trotting at Fleetwood Park yesterday after- noon was very interosting and gave satisfaction to the spectators, Three trots were decided of the four announced to come off, these being a team trot, a sweepstakes and @ match under the saddle, The fourth, @ sweepstakes between four horses, did not take place, being postponed to some future day. It was as well that it was not begun, as it could not have been finished yesterday. The first trot was-for a sweepstakes of $300 for teams. There were three nominations, comprising B. Wilson's chestnus gelding Willie Lane and mate ; G. Schultz’s sorrel gelding Bricks and mate, and ©. Simmons’ bay mare Nancy and mate. Schultz’s team were the favorites previous to the Start, but being beaten by Wilson’s team in tle first heat, the latter became the favorites at two toone, They won the second heat very easily, and then, with odas of four to one on them, they started for the third. Simmons now swapped teams with Schultz, and being acknowledged the better driver than Schultz, great expectations were mantiested by the backers of the latter’s team that Simmons would be able to show them the way to the front. Simmons succeeded in making a dead heat of the fourth, but was beaten by Wil- son’s team on the M{th heat, and that decided the race, The second trot was also a sweepstakes for $300, which had three entries, These were Peter Dewett's biack gelding Mac, John Lyon’s sorrel elding Shinner, and H. Sheldon’s sorrel gelding ed Bird, ‘The latter was distanced the first heat. Four heata had to be trotted to decide this affair, the first, second and fourth being won by Shinner, Mac taking the third. There was little betting on this race, Mac having the Call at the beginning ana Shinner alterwards, The best trot of the day was @ saddie race be- tween William E, Weeks’ gray folding Tanner Boy and Jobo marpaye brown gelding Joe Clark, The latter was the, favorite before the start, but cast- ing ashoe inthe first heat at the half-mile pole he hobbled home On a break all the way, and Tanner Boy became the favorite, the spectators not knuow- ing the cause of Joe Clark’s unsteadiness, The race was delayed a long time waiting for a black- smith to put the shoe on Joe Clark, but when he got it on it was soon quite evident that he could not beat Tanner Boy in any part of the race. The httle gray won in three straight heats. Tanner Boy was then matched to trot Charley Green, to go as they please. The race will come oif on Saturday next. ‘The following are THE SUMMARIES.
