Oversend, Gurney & Co., with liabilities of ?10,000,000 to ?12,000,000. Tho failure was caused by the speculative sale of shares at a heavy discount. The ran commenced by depositors, and tho Bank of England declined assistance hi consequence of the crisis. Sir Morton Peto and Betts have failed for ?4,000,000. ' * The suspension of the Liverpool Mercan tilo Credit Association, and other heavy failures, are reported. There was intense excitement in finan? cial circles, and business was almost sus? pended. The Government has resolved to sus? pend the bank charter Act. THE PRESIDENT AND THE RADICALS. | Greeley's paper indignantly says : : "The Johnston policy of getting ! control of the United States Senate ! by blocking the election of Senators ? by Republican State legislatures, as successfully and villainously played1 iu New Jersey, and villainously imitated in Connecticut, it has been fully determined in the Johnson councils here to endeavor to apply to the Republican majorities in the Senates of New Hampshire and Ver? mont to defeat or suspend in dead locks men as radically and trust worthily Republican as are Daniel Clark and Justin S. Morril. "The President to-day removed E. L. Pierce, collector of internal revenue at Boston, a well-known anti-slavery man, and nominated a Washington clerk." "The removal of vol. Sloo, the radical postmaster of Cairo, 111., is announced. Col. Graham is named as his successor." PATTI'S FAREWELL TO PARIS.-A correspondent thus describes '"the darling's" farewell for the season: The last performance was one un? interrupted ovation from beginning to end, upon a stage covered with wreaths and hoquets. The oldest habitues of the Italians never before saw such a quantity of floral offer? ings thrown at the feet of an artist, and such was the avalanche after the act of "Don Pasquale," in which the exceptional qualities of Patti's in? comparable voice are displayed to tho greatest advantage, that a squad of chorus singers was obliged to carry off the mountains of lilacs and roses thrown upon the stage. The stage boxes of the opera house were occu? pied by the most fanatical of the diva's admirers. Newspaper accounts from Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South and North Carolina, represent the growing crop of cotton as seriously injured by the recent cold weather and heavy rains and overflow of the cotton lands, and bad and di fective seed, which in great measure failed, in many cases, to germinate. The strike of the ship carpenters und joiners for eight hours labor per day has now reached the eighth week of its existence, and appears to be as firmly persisted in as ever. In the Louisiana parishes which have been overflooded, great distress prevails, and half the people aro without food, Relief is going from tho city. Eighty-seven cases of anns were seized by the Government at Erie, Penn., belonging to tho Fenian Se? nate. Lemuel Cook, a Revolution hero, aged 102 years, died at Clarendon on Sunday. i . sg m ... ; The New York Pos?, a radical paper, in speaking about the mor? tality of the negroes since the war, uttered a very cold-blooded senti? ment. Says tho Post-: "If they have fair play and die ont naturally, no one need trouble' himself about them." In other words, we suppose tho Post means if the cholera and small-pox, drunkenness, starvation, tho -halter for their crimes and the*bullet for their riots, weed them ont in conse? quence of the positron in which their friends have placed them, "no one need be troubled;" as in all these cases they would "die out naturally!" This reasoning is very convenient for the purpose of allaying remorse and the pangs of a guilty conscience, but a plea of this sort will not avail when radicalism shall come up for trial be? fore the bar of humanity aud Hea? ven. The wrongs and sufferings of the poor negroes cannot then be shuffled from tho properly responsi? ble shoulders or placed upon the back of "nature." Somebody will have to be "trou? bled" about the "deep damnation of the negro's taking off," and evidence is not wanting that tho radicals are becoming alarmingly apprehensive in regard to their responsibility. It is rather too late for them to invoke the aid of "nature" to get away from their guilt. They have long since taken the destiny of the negro out of thc hands of "nature" and the South, and no one will now dispute their claims to work out the difficulties of this black problem to their own com? fort and satisfaction. Tho question was one which gave tho South? ern people much anxious care and thought, even in their days of peace? ful prosperity. But while the war lins brought other cares, it has re? lieved us of this, and we should now rejoice at it. Let it be understood that the South is no longer responsi? ble for thc negro; his destiny is out of our hands. His fate now rests with radicalism. Nobody intends to come between Cuffee aud his peculiar friends. Let us wait and see what they will do with him. They are already exceedingly annoyed by this African puzzle, and it is very certain that their embarrassment will not di? minish with the lapse of time. Hands off. Lot us watch the radicals. Lot no one interfere.-Richmond Times. Tun PRESIDENT AND THE FREED? MEN'S BUREAU.-The order of the President for the arrest of all officers of the Freedmen's Bureau found cul? tivating plantations in tl?e Southern States has created an unusual com? motion among the faithful in Con? gress. The friends of tho negro in Congress- that is, the friends of the new system of taking care of negroes developed by Messrs. Stecdmau and Fullerton-do not understand what right President Johnson has to inter? fere with an institution ordained by an Act of Congress. They consider his watchfulness over the poor freed? men as an unwarrantable interference with their peculiar prerogatives. Tiley have declared solemnly that tho I President is not nore tho friend of the ! negro, and they are chagrined that he ' should undertake to protect tjiese I new-made citizens of African descent . from any outrage whatever, particu ! larly if it should bo perpetrated by I ono of those appointed by that emi j neut philanthropist and Christian ! gentleman, tho hoad of tho Freed ! meu s Bureau, lt is whispered about ; the halls of Congress that ono reason ! why tho President's recent order linds I so much disfavor is, that certain ex ', tremely radical Senators and mein 1 hers of Congress, who are imbued with somewhat of thc notorious Ynn ! kee speculative spirit, are directly ' and largely interested in some of thc j farms or plantations that are being j cultivated in the South under the j auspices of tho Freedmen's Bureau, i and that they fear the arrest of their ! agents or partners may occasion dis? closures which might not only be uncomfortableiudividually, but would i make an ugly record for tho radical partv before the people. ; ' I Notional Intelligencer, 19///. -?-??-?-^ > H EAVY L< ?ss TO THE UNITED STATES. ? A telegram from Washington, of the 1st h. says: Tho fact has been developed that upwards of $400,000 Government \ money, by som.J means or other, j were placed last summer in the hands of a man named Carlton, and by him I used in the purchase of cotton, w hich was then selling at seventy cents a i pound. The cotton was consigned to j a firm in New York for sale, when the : price of the article suddenly fell to ! forty-five cents, and the result was that the firm failed, and the Govern? ment los! nearly 8500,000. Consider? able curiosity is manifested to learn by what authority the money was originally placed in Carlton's hands for such investment. BAD FOR THE CHI ia H. We hear it stated that th?- President of tho ex? ploded Merchants' National Pauk subscribed $5,000 to the new Metro? politan Church, on condition that the funds of the enterprise should be de? posited in his bank. This was done, to the extent of 810,000, and it is stated to be a total loss, tho subscrip? tion of 85,000 not having bei n paid. j Washington Slur. PRACTICAL. WORKING OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAW.- The first practical operation of civil rights law that has ..onie to light in this region of coun? try, we learn, occurred in a neighbor? ing County u week or moro ago. A negro girl swore her child to a white mun.-Danton (Md.) Union. President Johnson's Policy-Whal'i to bc Done? "All is quiet on tho Potomac." Washington is fast relapsing into its usual summer dullness. A stranger within its gates .would hardly suspect that the Whito House is under a siege, save by the office-seekers. Nor can we exactly determine the present posture of affairs between Congress and the Administration. "We know that while the two houses thus far have pursued the aggressive system of warfare, tho President has main? tained a defensive attitude; and that while the radicals are gradually ad? vancing their lines of approach, he remains patiently within his citadel. We know that while his enemies are resolute and active, his supporters in Congress and in tho Cabinet arc timid, vacillating and unreliable. Mr. Johnson, in short, is in the position of a chieftain without au army, a President without a party; and this, too, when the prevailing public sen? timent of the country is clearly with him and his simple and acceptable policy of Southern restoration. This is a singular state of things but there is something still more cu rions and remarkable in the fact that, against an actual majority in thc House opposed to the reconstructior scheme of Stevens and his commit tee, they have carried it by a vote o 1 two-thirds upon the record. Th< sectiou of universal disfranchisemen j till July, 1870. of the late rebellion i Southern people, is the distinguish ; ing feature of the scheme of Stevens 1 Without this section his plau is but ? rehash of tho President's policy clumsily put together. Upon thi ! third section, as upon the distric negro suffrage bill, a test vote indi j cated an actual majority against th radicals; but, between juggling con ! perheads and slippery conservatives Stevens first reversed this major?t and then carried his point by the rt quired two-thirds vote. Thus it has been demonstrated thu of tho, three political factious c which this Congress is made up, th only one possessing anything c moral courage, consistency and stone in ess of purpose is the radical fa? tiou. Tho conservative republics faction, as engineered by the tradin firm of Seward, Weed and Raymout is but a faction of lobby jobbers au professional riders of two or tbr< horses at a time. Mr. Raymond, : his course in Congress, in speakii on one side and voting "on both, ai all in the same afternoon, is a in i sample of this conservative factio I The copperhead faction, still inflame j with the poisonous dregs of tho Cl i cago Convention, still umbu- their o I delusion that the war was a failui ! are still intent upon discord and rev j lotion, fire, sword, confusion, am i chy, anything for a new shuffle I their old democratic cards. Th j glorify Johnson, they exalt him j the seventh beaven: but they vi I for Stevens. If they can recove r t I spoils and plunder of tho Govei i ment by knocking the heads of Jol j son and Stevens together, and tearing the Union war party to piec what care they though the natioi ! credit, the Union and the States ? I consumed in the Hames of auotl j civil war? The first was a failure i them, the second may be a slice? j What other chance have they? Now, without a party in Congre ! with less than the faithful corpon ! guard of John Tyler in either bran ? what can President Johnson ? ! Then; is an anti-radical majority ' the House, but it is made np of i structivo copperheads and trad j conservatives. Roth sets, as occas ! may serve, are at tho service of ? i vens. Thus situated, what can 1 sident Johnson do? 1K>? He ; do as Scipio did to get Hannibal I of Italy. He can carry the war i ! Africa. What can he do? He , do what Jackson did when the ; trigues of Calhouu threatened ; policy of the Administration. He ' dismiss his Cabinet, from first toi j and appoint a new one. He can \ j the role of Jackson, or drift into j wake of Tyler and Fillmore.

It begs tho question. Seward belongs to un age thu past; Mr. Stanton w-^-s fi good i Secretary; but the war is over, j is out of his element now. an j with the rest of them. In appb an old Cabinet to a new ordei ? things, the President is putting I wine into obi bottles; when th?' mentation commences, the <>M g ? skins will explode. Let President Johnson try the j p?riment of a sortie. Let him disi Iiis Cabinet, root and branch, and I point a new one from such V? war materials as (?rant, Shem Tilomas, Sheridan. Hancock. Fi gut. Porter and others, who I proved their faith by their wo and let the Senate reject them it dare. Rut such a Cabinet will n< rejected, lt will surely be confin and it will thus bring the army navy, our fighting soldiers and t ?ionic guard, two millions of v< in the Northern Statis, into dj rapport with th?* Administration the President's policy, lt will b up these three disturbing faction Congress, and it will throw Ste and his radicals into a powerless nor i ty. Providence, according to an proverb, helps those who help them? selves. Circumstances are the mas? ters of weak men, but the servants of the resolute. John Tyler was a rep? resentative of the one class, and An? drew Jackson of the other. Presi? dent Johnson may, as he elects, j be the ono or tho other. The ex? amples of both are before him, and he is free to take his choice. We can only urge him to take the reins in bis I hands, like Jackson, if ho would avoid j the decline and fall of poor Tyler-a 1 fate almost as melancholy as that of i poor Pierce or Buchanan.

Tho Boston Post says that "? Anna hasn't come here for any \ cul purpose, but to get his we leg that Barnum has been show EircnO**??*? In Europe. The increasing probability of a European war, involving three powers at the commencement, and ultimate? ly, perhaps, several others, has had the effect to create commercial hesi? tation and financial distrust, and a genei al desire for the realization of, capital. Of- course all Government securities, including those of the United States, have declined in price. A demand for gold has caused a re? turn of some of our railway stocks, and even of our five-twenties.* A. slight decline iu the price of cotton is j also noticed as very important to our exchanges. The price of breadstuffs does not, however, rise in European markets. There ia so much more in Liverpool and Havre, than in Kew York that it is being imported in considerable quantities from those ports at a very fair profit. Shipments of flour made from this country have been ordered back. We can send nothing to Eu? rope from our granaries, except a little cora, of -which fortunately we have a.surplus. Breadstuffs are higher here than anywhere abroad, and wheat and flour are deficient in sup? ply. The cause is patent to ali. It is the redundancy of paper money which has tho effect to exaggerate the prices of all products. Labor starve? upon high wages. It was shown in ! the report ot' the Secretary of the Treasury of the finances, and also by the statement accompanying it, from j Dr. Eider, that thu cost ot producing j breadstuffs is always much enhanced I by an increase of currency, and that i I in every period of currency inflation | j tin; price of breadstuffs advanced to j such a rate that their exportation is j diminished or suspended. The paper circulation is now probably at its height, and will hereafter be reduced by withdrawal, or absorbed to a con? siderable extent by the Southern States. Bread will be cheaper and wages lower in the course of a year or two. Meanwhile, insteud of feeding European nations, they will contri? bute out of their abundance to feed us. They may have bread to sparc for a nation at pi*ace, while they are engaged in war. Especially is this j so, if there are not proper facilities at i cheap rates of transport to tho Atlan i tic borders from the West, i The rage for speculation, which is I caused by a great increase of curreu I ey. is unfavorable to regular industry, and thus it has happened that at times when speculation was rife pro ? Auction languished. In 1837, when j money was as plenty as forest leaves, j we had to import our breadstuffs i from Europe, from the Baltic and the j Mediterranean. This has also been ! the experience of other countries, ', and at various times. In the early j part of the tenth century, France tried t he experiment o? paper money j to a wide extent. One of the eonse j quencos was a deficiency in the sup j ply of bread, and a threatened famine in Paris. Only coarse brown bread i could be procured there for several j months; and in the very palace of j Versailles families fed on oatmeal bread.-Nati<>n-t! FiitftUigencei'. - - ? > ? Meeting in PU Had el pfc 1M. The Academy of Music, in Phila. j delphia, was crowded on the night of j the 14th instant, by an euthuastic i audience of ladies and gentlemen, to listen t>> addresses by Senators Cowan and Doolittle, in support of the President. Henry Simous, Esq., occupied the chair. Mr. Doolittle, after treating of the subject of rebel ! lion, and .the present issue before the j country, declared that the man who I denies the union of the States under ; the Constitution is himself a dis j unionist. He refuted the many cal ! ninnies, as he styled them, that had ' been raised against the personal cha ; racter of the President, and express? ed bis firm belief, established by per j son.tl experience, that no man was ' moro assiduously and conscientiously j engaged in the discharge of his duty, i than Andrew Johnson. ile illus ! trated the policy of President Lin ? coln in the recommendation of Louis ; iana and Arkansas, as to admission : into tin: Union, which had been en \ dorsed at the Baltimore Convention, j and by a majority of both houses of ? Congress a year ago, to show that the i Johnson policy was not a new one, i but an obedience to the wishes of the ; Union party. Instead of the Presi ; dent proving ftdse, the men who were i now attempting to lead it were per? verting its grand objects and inten? tions-the restoration of the Union and tin- enforcements of the laws. I Mr. Cowan followed in an eloquent ' argument in defence of sustaining tin1 I laws, by virtue of which the rebellion had been crushed. The President's plan of reconstruction relies at once j upon the authority of the Constitu ? tion-the law of the land. If the Southern people had not forgotten this, there would have been no rebel? lion. He was opposed to any amend? ment to the Constitution ut the pro I sent time. As endorsers of ; he Pre? sidents policy, he mentioned Se ard, ; Stanton, Welies, Grant, Sherman, Meade, Hancock and others, whose i names were vociferously cheered. On ! the other band, in opposition, he placed the Haines of Stevens, Butler and others, the mention of which elicited hisses and slight applause His hope was in the. virtue and integ? rity of the people, both North ami South. The Southern people had suffered severely, and now was the time to extend mercy, after they had surrendered to the law. After other speeches by distinguished gentlemen the meeting adjourned. The exporte of specie from New York for the week ending on Satur? day last were $8,763,29&-the largest shipment over made in the same length of time, aud over $300,004) more than the total exports for the present year up to May 12.
