NOTE.S,
"WhIoso bloweth not his own horn, the
;allme it shall not be blowod."
--(Grasehoppers and Indians combined
mako times lively for the stalwart farmers of
the far West.
-The Western press is partially clamorous
for John Sherman's resignation. It is a large
amount of that "tangible sympathy" from
the bondholders which keeps him in.
--The Boston Custom-House will escape In
voestigation, though Butler's friend 1Simmons
made it a mighty political machine. In fact,
"Gov. lico was virtually elected per Simmons.
-It is reported that Harvard will confer
upon Hayes the title of A. L. D. Wonder if
that means Long Lost Democrat-found
again.
.- Packard sometimes gets to be actually
aphoristic. He told the Ohio Republicans,
recently that "when the Republican party in
Louisiana went out of power it went out to
stay."
-Tom Ewing is now "rlsing up" in Ohio
like a luminous disc above the political
horizon. He may not, however, dissipate
the financial fogginess which kept William
Allen's horn constantly blowing and In which
the Democracy was grounded in 1875.,
-Jones and Medill having made their little
pilgrimage to the political Meooa, propose to
let up for a spell. It is reported they "caved"
with Hayes as did Saul with David, and the
President may havelcut a slip gut of their
garments as a lasting testimonial of triend
linose.
THE OREGON WAN.
A second edition of the Modoc war is
being worked off in Oregon the band
which is seeking extermination at this
time being of the Nez Peroes tribe. The
number of savages in the vicinity and
likely to be, if not already involved, is
reported at about two thousand fight
ing men. That they are able and en
tirely willing to give serious trouble is
made unfortunately too apparent by
the fact that in an engagement with
two companies of soldiers, reinforced
by friendly Indians, and a considerable
party of armed citizens, the redskins
obtained the advantage, surrounded the
whites in a canon, and, at the time
of the departure of a straggler
who brought the first news of
the battle, were in a fair
way to reproduce the most terrible fea
tures of the Custer massacre. The sol
diers appear to have fallen into the fatal
blunder so common in like oases of un
derrating the numbers and fighting
qualities of thelndians. Of course there
is no military force in the neighborhood
adequate to the task of chastising the
murderous bands, who are butchering
the settlers and laying waste the whole
region around them. General Howard,
who is in command, is gathering all the
available troops from various posts in
the department, and will probably be
in a position for effective operations by
the time the savages have wiped out the
settlements. The disturbance seems to
have arisen ifrom the murder of some
Indians by whites, the savages retali.
ating with a general massacre of set
tiers.--[Ohicago Times.
KICKING
[Burlington Hawkeye.]
It is rumored that parties in Wash
ington, in their kindness, are willing to
furnish the Republican State Conven
tion a lot of ready-made resolutions in
dorsing the President's policy. We
don't know that this is true, but we do
know that it any such resolutions are
presented in the convention, they will
be kicked out, and the man who sends
them will receive a rebuke that he will
remember for the balance of his life.
It may do for the powers that be in
Washington to send a commission into
a Southern State to trade and dicker
away the victory that was gained at the
cost of life itself, but it wil l not do to at

ley-Matthews plan, and if the attempt
is made it will receive the rebuke it de
serves.

THE FIRIT NATIONAL BANK OF ST.
LOUIlM.
[Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.]
ST. Lotus, June 19.-The First Na
tional Bank of the State of Missouri
announces to-night, through an adver
tisement that will appear in to-morrow
morning's papers, that it has closed its
doors on account of the stringency of
the times, and that application has been
made by telegraph to the Controller of
the Currency for the appointment of a
receiver to take charge of the assets.
The only reason given for its suspen
sion is its allegjd inability to make
money, on account of which a liquida
tion is thought best for all parties con
cerned. The bank has for a long time
been considered almost the wealthiest
in St. Louis, the capital stock being
$2,000 000 and the deposits large. It
was the depositary for United States
funds in 3t. Louis, and had the reputa
tion of being exceedingly cautious and
safe in its business transactions. The
doors were opened during regular bank
ing hours to-day, and business was car
ried on as usual, there being no intima
tion of an intended suspension. The
event will undoubtedly create a great
sensation in commercial and financial
circles here, and there is a feeling
among those who have heard of it to
night that other smaller banking con
cerns will follow. The president of the
bank is James H. Britton, one of the
stanchest citizeps of St. Louis. It is
recollected now that certain holders of
stock in the concern have been crowd
ing the market for the last few days
with their stock, but this circumstance
excited no suspicion at the time. It is
thought that depositors will be paid,
but this is a mere opinion, and the ac
tual probabilities are that an exhibit
will show a discouraging prospect for
all parties concerned.
Officers of the bank, in answer to in
quiries, state to-night that the deposits
amount to $2,250,000, and that the as
sets are ample to meet them. Twenty
five per cent will be paid at once,
twenty-five per cent in thirty days, and
the remainder within six months. The
United States Government is a depositor
to the extent of $100,000, and the city of
St. Louis $245,000. Secured security
bonds said to be questionable. It is
stated upon good authority that the
suspension of the bank is due to bad
securities taken to a large amount quite
recently.
[NoTE.-Specials to the DEMOCRAT
have stated that the bank was sound,
and suspended simply because there was
no immediate prospect of a profitable
business.]

HME FALL ELECTIONS.
The first election to be held during
the present year will be that of Ken
tucky, August 6. A Governor and a
Legislature are to be elected, and the
Legislature will choose a United States
Senator in place of Thos. C. McCreery,
whose term expires in 1879. Vermont
will vote for State officers September 4;
Maine will elect State officers Septem
ber 10; and it is possible that a secret
warfare, if not an open one, between
the Hayes and Blaine factions of the
Republican party may bring about some
strange developments. On September
5, California will elect a Governor and a
Legislathre. In 1875, Irwin (Democrat)
was elected Governor by a majority of
435 over both the Republican and Inde
pendent candidates.
The Legislature to be elected will
choose a United States Senator in place
of Aaron A. Sargent (Republican),
whose term expires in 1879. In the
present Legislature the Democratic
majority on joint ballot is 54. It is safe
to say that a Democrat will succeed
Sargent. The Iowa and Ohio elections
occur October 9. Both States elect
State officers, and in Ohio the Legisla
ture to be elected will choose a United
States Senator in place of Stanley Mat
thews (successor to John Sherman),
whose term expires in 1879. The No
vember elections are those of Massa
chusetts, Mississippi, New York, Penn
sylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, all of
which occur November 6.
The difference between a watch and
an insurance company seems to be that

THISE WOLII) ESTIMATE OF GRANT.
The London Times, speaking of Gen.
Grant says: "It is, as we have ob
served, not a little remarkable that
these tokens of national esteem should
have been bestowed upon a politician
who quits the political scene probably
forever, and who is discredited as the
leader, or at least the most conspicuous
chief, of a broken party. It would be
idle to deny that the faction which
traded so long upon Gen. Grant's emi
nent services was completely routed at
the elections of November last, and that
President Hayes, though nominally
representing the same principles, is at
tached to a different order of ideas, and
appeals to a different level of popular
sympathies. The honors paid to Gen.
Grant are, therefore, all the more slg
nificant. They prove that democracles
do not always forget great national
benefits, and that they appreciate good
intentions even when these intentions
too manifestly fail to correspond with
results. Gen. Grant has no longer any
political influence in the United States,
yet he is treated with more ceremonious
homage than would be bestowed upon
the most powerful of cabinet ministers,
or even upon the President himself."
MENSIBLE MENTIMENTS.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 19.-In a
letter written by Gen. Grant to Geo. W.
Ohilds, dated June 6, he gives some de
scription of his voyage and the atten
tion he received in England. He says:
"I appreciate the fact, and am proud of
it, that the attentions I am receiving
are intended more for our country than
for me personally. I love to see our
country honored and respected abroad,
and I am proud to believe that it is by
most all nations, and by some even
foved. It has always been my desire to
see all jealousies between England and
the United States abated, and every
sore healed. They are more powerful
for the spread of commerce and civili
zation than all others combined, and
can do more to remove causes of wars
by creating mutual interests that would
be so much destroyed by war."

of line Cast Steel to the Sulphuretted Dust.
Th-se having used and tested the value
of this compound are respectfully informed
that it can be had. et the, Drug Store of I. L.
LYON and man y oth.er druggists of this city.
To the uniiniliatil andl skeptical I will say
that. in placing it telforc the public. I have de
1iated from the whole 'onrlave of inventors "'of
the rurest and hest anti-bilious medicines" etc.
I allcide to their invariable secresy of ingre
dients. Tht rtesuai and only other mode in pro
ducing Sul.huretted Iron is by the hydrogen
pro.s s. whPre it is made by lundreds of
pounds fr the commttee of the world, and Is
not to th dcepended on, as it contains too great a
proportion of carbon (nharcoal), which cannot
et avoided in the process of their manufac
turing it.
This Hunlhuret of Refined Steel is the pure
sulphtlart of steel, having not a particle of for
elin matter in its combination. It is made by
hand.
Those eminent professors of chemistry and
physicians of Fr.nme, together with the United
atates Di4spc-natory. state that the great bbject
in administering iron is to get the greatest
quantity into the gastric juice of the stomach as
it is intendad to renovate and purify the bloo
and its known value as a tonic.
