The Hon. Josiah Quincy, jr., whose liabilities are reported at $1,150,000, was forced to avail himself of the insolvency laws.

[ocr errors]

54 - DTD Mar. 31; ed: 2/2 The failure of Josiah Quincy, Boston financier, gave rise to information that Mr. Quincy used company funds for his private accounts. In a letter, Mr. Quincy denies this and says:

"Those debts which are called my private debts would never have required the guarantee of any one, my private property and credit being ample to command the necessary facilities, had it not been for the unexpected liabilities I was compelled to take for this Corporation."

Mr. Quincy proposes a reference of the whole matter to a committee of three or five to be chosen by the directors and himself. "If the statements made by him are true...the curse of every honest man will be on the corporation of the Vermont Central railroad."

56 - DTD Jan. 17; ed: 2/2 - "There have been two notices of the Farmer's Bank of Ashtabula, neither of which was prepared by the Editors. We are satisfied that both of them were wrong throughout, and that this bank is in as good condition as any bank in Ohio....

"The communication of 'Fair Play' in this week's paper, expresses our opinion with regard to the Bank."

57 - WTD Jan. 21:1/6 In a letter to the editor, "Fair Play" says: If your exhibit dealing with the Farmers' branch bank at Ashtabula goes unexplained it might have a tendency to injure the bank's credit. I believe you are in error of certain figures.

"From the whole exhibit I see no reason for selecting this Bank, as being in a failing condition, or as exhibiting 'recklessness' in its management.'

62 DTD Dec. 21; ed: 2/2 - A class of men who style themselves as "Bankers" are busy in Illinois establishing institutions wherefrom they emit issues of paper money. Our legislature at Columbus should take steps to guard against it and should forget party interests in order to protect the interests of the people.

"Let us hope for this spirit. If it does not exist, and is not to be exercised by the Legislature, let the people remember those who have betrayed their interests, and sacrificed the interests of the State, to save a few party hacks."

BEGGING & BEGGARS

63 - DTD Sept. 4; ed: 4/3 - Among the persons to be present at the state fair, several different classes will be represented. There will be beggars of all descriptions, some with broken legs and arms, some with sick children, and still others with dying mothers. There will be foreigners who cannot speak a word of English except when necessary. They will have printed proofs of their misery. There will be deaf and dumb individuals.

"Representatives of each of the above named classes will endeavor to impose on the public, and while we would not wish citizens or strangers to steel their hearts against real distress we would ask them to be on their guard against imposition."
