Thirty Yearn of Honorable Life Blackened Through Speculative GreedHis Own Property Swept Away and llie Boston lifltinff Company liadly CrippledOver $600,000 of the FnndB of the Company Misappropriated Other Firms and Banking Establishments Suffer Heavily. BOSTON, July 20.The announcement this afternoon of the resignation of John. G. Tap pan as treasurer of the Belting Co., a position he had held since the organization of the cor poration thirty years ago, and the statement that he used the credit of the company in the interest of private speculation, was a turprise in finanacial circles, v. here Tappan was regard ed as a man of most exemplary character and unimpeachable integrity. The corporation had a paid up capital of $500,000. and its reputation under Tappan's management, had become such that its paper was readily discounted, and were sought as amonsj the safest offered for discount. Its capital stock was 5,000 share- of jSlUU each, and early in the year it sold for S175 per share, while the last auction sale was $125 per f-hare. Upon the resignation of Tappan, E. S. Con verse, treasurer of the Boston Rubber Shoe Co., waB chosen successor and found affairs in such a condition, he called a meeting of stockhold ers and creditors to-day, at which it was stated that Tappan had issued notes to the amount of $600,(100. and was also held for 828,000 on outside endorsements as treasurer, the proceeds of which htve not been received by the company. Total liabilities of the company, $fr-3'J,000. Nominal aBsets, $080,000. Notes payable, as above Btated, $628,000. It aho appeared Mr. Tappan, to make good to the company the re sponsibility for wtiich rests with him. had handed over to the creditors his entire propertj of the nominal value of 1.100,000. In conpequencc of this condition of affairs the company has suspended. JamesP.Milledge, Wm. P. Hunt, president of the Atlas National bank, and Geo. D. Alden have been appointed to make a thorough investigation of the af fairs of the corporation and the irregularities of the late treasurer. The following is an abstract of the certificate of the condition of the company from the an nual return of the corporation filed in the office of the secretary ot the commonwealth, Feb. 1"J. Tht* officers were Henry Dnrant, president Jno. G. Tappan, treasurer, and these two gen tlemen, with Josiah S. Tappan, constitute the board of directors. ASSET8.

Tappan, who has held the position of treasurer, business manager and agent of the corporation from the date of its organiza tion until it became so heavily involved through his irregularities, and whose losses in private speculations had indno him to use his finan cial position as tieasurer of the Boston Belting comp-iny to extricate himself from pecuniary emliaiucaBsmeiitB. in one of... onr -citisem whose long business career had made hi.Ti widely known and generally respected. He was quite a large speculator in real estate, noi only here in Chelsea and immediate vicinity, but in dorado and Texas. Though the nomi nal value of the property turned over byMiim to his creditors is over 81,000,000, there is con siderable question as to its rea' value. He wa^ interested in the Mexican Packing company ol Texas, and had raised money upon its papei with his own endorsement, and it is stated $200,000 of this property is in that 8tate. Quite a large amount of mortgages and varioaB other property, paper of the Boston Belting company, the proceeds of which have been mis appropriated, is held by twenty-one Boston baukp and is pretty well distrib ited among them, no one bank "holding an extraordinary large proportion. It iH stated in mercantile circles that Mr. Tappan has of late raised large amountB by indorsing either his own name or that of the Boston Bel ing empany, unon the paper oi the following firms: J. A. Hatqb/ & Co., dry irnnds and commission merchants, 23 Kingston street, Jno. E. Tappan & Co., successors to Kelvert & Tappan, machinery and yarns, 25 Kingston street, and the Merriam Packing Co.. a Texas firm engaged in packing beef in which it is said Tappan is largely interested. To what extent these firms are involved is at present impossible t- state, hut it is feared they will all suffer severely. The Boston Belt ing Co. will meet its liabilities, and it i* hoped the property turned over by Tappan will be sufficient to Drotect the stockholders from loss. I1UNTON-ALEXANDER.

LONDON, July 22.The Time* commenting on the Marquis of Basting's resolution in the house of commons Tuesday last, says: The Liberals cannot be blind to the fact that with the exception of a small but noisy faction, which clamored for war and brought Turkey to the brink of ruin by the folly of its counsels, the great mass of people are pi epared to give sufficient if not enthusiastic assent to the de crees of the Berlin congress. If rashly encoun tered the government might be tempted to take advantage of that popular fav.ir, and by the dissnlutiia of irlUaijat, increase the stiength of the majority. The Times sharply criticizes Gladstone for useuming the riht-to vraoga vt-. ,L.ibej-9l.fam paign, which is the business of the party lead ers, and Gladstone says he is not one of these. If, says the T.m-x, he were bent on completing che reign of his party, he could scarcely attain that purpose better, than by driving them into a contest for which they are at present unpre pared. Referring to Gladstone's personal mthority in that country, the Times says the shaken confidence of the entire nation is not to he restored in an instant, nor can it be charmed back by the most brilliant declamatory effects.

[Ne Tork Time*.] Yesterday was in some places the very hottest day of the season. For a we ek the Ueal had been of the most intemperate and uncalled-for character, bn* yesterday the jular furnace was^oked and the blower pn on nntil the beat^became so great that, if minor speaks tr&j, Mr. Choiles Francis V&tras himself was thoroughly warmed through. Nevertheless, people bore thf leat almost cheerfully as they reflected that its inevitable result wonld be a quiet Fourth July. With the thermometer among the ainetieJ patriotism is impossible, a nd iv the small-boy loses his interest in fire crackers, and cares for nothing bat a plunge into the river, a nd a subseque nt penny's vorth of ice-cream. I was well that the City Fathers prohibited fire-craokers and tbe instruments of patriotic torture, but aad it been foreseen that! the Ibermometei vould be niuety-flvb in the shade, the pro hibition wonld have been conceded to be nn- necessary. Our climate as been growing steadily warmer, during the last century, a ud this fact cully accounts for the decay of patriotism ol vhich the partisan ncwspipeis accuse tkeir idversaries. During the period of the re volutionarv war the thermometer rartly rose ibove eighty degrees, and the winters were xtretnely cold. Nobody an suppose tha' .he revolution would have been successful tad the weather been as ot as it has been or the last week. Would Thomas Jefferson lave drawn up a Declaration of IndepemJ 'tioe, or would George Washington have lanned a campaign in yesterday's weather: ^o far from so doing, Washington would loubteJly have said to any one who sug gested the propriety of active operations igaiust th enemy, "Oh! go awaj! Don'i other! What d. 1 care about the enemy in -his weather and Jefferson would probabh iave thrown an empty bottle at the head ol he first Continental Congressman who hint- -u that a declaration of anything, except orcible views as to hot weather and flies, va8 looked for by his fellow-countrymen. vVhat, in point of ruct, was Washington's conduct on the one occasion when he was -xposed to particularly hot weather, to wit.. the day of the battle of Monmouth? Did not meet Lee on the battle-field ano itraightway use language in regard to thi lies which will not bear repetition? Tbert ire historians wuo pretend that Washington poke ot of flies but of the "fight" of Lei torn the field, a nd that it was an exce ss mtriotisni wnich led him to curse Le e. Thii is altogether too improbable. W knov hat it waa intensely hot that consequently, here must have been a great deal of fliea that no man mid have felt patriotic ii ch circumstances. That Washington, endered reckless by the heat, said, Go lain the flies," is much more probable thai hat he used still stronger language in ref rence to a supposed flight of a brave ant -ble officer. It needs ut a slight acquaintance will listory to prove that patriotism is destroyer heat. Within the tropics it has no iteace. The South American i-evolntiopjii' tails himself a patriot, a nd professes to ctuaied b\ patriotism, but no one believe, dm. Indee J, his very existence is a prooi iiat there is no patriotism among his fellow ountrjmet), else they wou ld speedily an terminer!tly suppress him. It is umoiu he inhabitants of the temperate a nd rigic :oties that patriotism flourishes, and it be omes more and more vigorous as tin :iimate grows colder. The most patriotic jeople in the world are the Icelanders, whe refe to freeze in their miserable island ather than to live in a comfortable bn foreign land. I may be laid down as 8 jreat natural law that the strength mtriotism among nations varies inverseh is the height of the thermometer, a nd tha' any climate the occurrence of a week -xtieniely hot weather will temporarily de troy every particle of patriotism. I thi- materialistic age. when it has beer ihown that the soul is merely a little grny natter in the brain, and that thought is i. node of motion, there is no need of am u-gumeiit to prove that patriotism is simpl. i state of tho body* be more explicit, i. 4 the presence iu the system of a certaii hemical substance whi ch rapidly accuttiu ates in cold weather, but wtiich passes vhen the pores are opened by heat. Igno ant people often praise the patriotism ol ur fathers who endured the cold of Valley ?orge. They are reversing the order ol hiugs. The revolutionary soldiers were ex remely patriotic at Valley Forge, ut it wat ecau e, and not in spite, of the cold. Tbt older the weather beca me the more patriotic hey were but had the thermomet stoor it ninety-five during the winter at Vailev Torge, they would have either deserted one over bodily to the enemy. It ha? ften been noticed that the decay of patriot am among the ltomans was contemporane ins with the introduction of hot baths. Thf neani ng of this fact is clear. The Roman? .ived in a temperate climatea nd Italy wat nucb. cooler in their day than it is now were therefore patriotic. When they ega to nse hot baths, their pores wen kept abnormally ope n, a nd in consequence theie- patriotism escaped. Had they con ined themselves to daily sponge baths with jold water, thereby keeping the pores n- -mr-tp'l. their dominion wou ld have lasted until to-day. Patriotism and perspiration are antagouis .ic. They cannot coexist. It is to this great "ruth we s!*aU owe a quiet Fourth of July, man who has passed through these seven lays of intense heat can have an appreciable imount of patriotism left in him. Liberty independence are words that have tempi rtti ly lost their meaning. Air and ^a-batbing are the only things now worth living for.
