THE “AMEEICAK SYSTEM.” Dwight, Livingston Co., 111., Nov. 10. "o t s Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Seldom has there been a season so abound ing in fruit of every variety. Onr markets are literally choked with the superabun dance. Grapes have been especially tine and sweet this year, and numerous varieties are yet plenty. Luscious pears are seen on fruit stands at almost every street corner. Ap ples—golden, green, and rosy ones—make at tractive contrasts, and the display of this fruit is large.** We copy the above from one of the most widely-circulated journals in the conutrv. Is there anything wrong, yon will very naturally ask, in the market being supplied with such a bountiful profusion “t luscious fruit? Yes, it is all very wrong. Why? For flie simple reason that it does not pul money in the pockets of the fruit-growers, as {t should. "Tons of luscious grapes, in our State, during the present fall, have been sold for three cents a pound: and good native wine can to-clay be bought for fifty cents a gallon,*’ so writes "B. F. J.,** correspondent of the Country Gentleman. As far as we arc eoneenual, we have rejoiced that our neoplo have been able to enjoy the luxury of plenty of ripe fruit. It makes us certainly a healthier, and, consequent!}*, a happier people. But something must be done to put a stop to the production of such vast quantities of fruit; for we are told that the fruit-growers in our own Statu are losing money,** aud, consequently, it is all wrong. Mr. Greeley has a sovereign balm for all ills, and especially the 0110 of which we write. "Stimulate if.”** The phiio-uphov even looks upon the destruction of Chicago by tiro in the same light that our great syndicator. Jay Cooke, contemplates the. na tional debt,—as a national blessing.’* Bead his own words: "But, thanks to the wise policy of protection, which has built up industries, it will stimulate our own manufactures, ;t onr own mills run ning faster, and give employment to thou sands of idle workmen.'* Jl must be the fault of onr early education, but v.c have never yet been able to see wherein consists the sinfulness of sending abroad for our sup plies when we cun buy them cheaper than we can at home. We tried stimulating wool, and what was theefiect.* It killed 4,000,000 sheep in 18<‘.8-- *6O (vide the Hon. Horace Caprou^report). Wo tdimuhited tho manufacture of woollen goods to such uk extent that the business has been nearly mined, and millions of dollars of costly machinery have been standing idle for years. One of the largest manufac turers of our own State said to the writer, this summer. "I don’t care what duty you put upon woollen goods, the English can ‘un dersell ns;’* and he gave the reasons: “It is useless for us to attempt to compete with British gold at 4 per cent per annum and free wool, and I am obliged to pay 10 per cent for all the money I use, and from 75 to 100 percent duty upon all my foreign wool.” We stimulated leather, ami lost our entire export trade to tho markets of Canada, Mexico, Hie West Indies, and South America, which wc had enjoyed for more than a century. Tho government receives a revenue from all articlcsnsed in that branch of hiiMiios of only $3,500,000, while it im poses a Tax of $18,000,000, Now, over 400 firms engaged in hoot and shoe manufacturing are heartily sick of the stimulus. “We tried stimulating ship-lmihlhig.

Pctershourg, a semi-official journal, republishes from the St. Petersburg Voix the following statement of tbo disa greements between our State Department and M. Catacazy, the Russian Minister at Washington. Tlio statement possesses much importance, as it is the lirst Russian version of the diplomatic quarrel, and from the inci dental reference it contains to the Grand Duke’s visit. The nature of the American article,” referred to below, is given incidentally; bnt it may be neces sary to observe that it was a Washington despatch based on information from the State Department, giving particulars of the action of that department in regard to M. Catacazy, The American journals continue to dis cuss at the same time the cordial, sympa thetic, and even enthusiastic reception pre paring for His Imperial Highness Mgr. thp Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch, and the disfavor tho Russian Minister had fallen into with the President, and above all. with the Secretary of State-disfavor which will be carried to the extent of a formal demand for M. Catacazy’s recall. We have inserted in our No. S!S7 an American ar ticle, which has been copied verbatim by most American journals, and gives a version of this disagreeable incident, evidently from a more or less official source. Its tone is more constrained than tho ordinary language of American journals, and its simultaneous re publication by the greater port of the Amer ican press gives it. evidently, an official char acter. This article has not escaped tbo at tention of our readers; and. in order to civo it the meaning its author intended, wu shall add some information which we have collect ed, and which, in our opinion, has nn incon testable value. The facts and dales wo -giro are exact enough, but there aro therein certain de grees of form and conclusions which it ap pears difficult to us to admit. We have had occasion to learn that the first step taken by tlie American Minister at St. Petersburg were as far buck as tho middle of July. It being intended that tho Grand Duke Alexis would leave early in August, thero would not be then time to replace M. Catacazj’, as il was inadinissablc that the Russian imperi al legation should be vacant at a moment when the s«m of His Majesty the Emporor would be the guest of the government and the American nation. Resides, the Imperial Minister for Foreign Adairs found before him only vague allegations, without precise facts or positive proofs iu regard to that, in which nominally our representative had failed in his duty. The statements seemed to bo of such nature as could bo rendered clear by amicable explanations between the two governments. Therefore, the manager of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Atlairs deferred submitting the question to the Em peror, in order not to give it a premat arc im portance, hoping nil the while that the inci dent would be settled by common accord at an opportune time. According to.the information wo posses s the Federal Government insisted, itistr on its demand, bnt in the interval, and nota bly bet ween the loth and 20th of Aug irt, M. Catacazy bad been admitted to an j udiciice with General Grant, and was received in a manner which only tho represn lative of a friendly £tato could expect, i J;ere was then unreason to doubt that thi» adair, entirely personal, would be solved in a manner con formable to the amicable relations existing between the two countries. We know, in fact, that M, do Wcstmann, after having submitted the question to the Emperor, repeated to tho American Minister bis objections in regard to the want of suffi cient time to carry out the wish manifested by the Federal Government, and on tho op portuneness of adjourning tho incident until after the visit of the Grand Duke Alexis. Wo know also, that the Washington Cabinet, ac knowledging completely the value of these observations, has suspended explana tions on tbo subject, reserving the right rcsnjae them when the imperial -guest they were preparing io receive should have left America. Finally, according to our information, there was l isi eventuality in question of the sending of passports to M. Catacazy, if he was not recalled at a certain time, nor of warnings which may have been given him on the part of tho President. Our accounts arc continued in the most positive maniw by an article in tb Journal dc St. l*cU:r*ho sa«pen led. Bui w c should not accept passively the assertions which tho American statement re ferred to contains. They are not in accord with diplomatic usages or proprieties, nor with tho good and recip rocal relations of tho two governments. The Federal Government has "never needed to send M. patneazy his passports, and it pljowjd liot be'bgpposed’tgut ii. cbiUcmpiuies uoiug so. IVOtVauLpEi;. ,M. Catacazy is, no doubt, himself very de sirous to end promptly a mission ■which must heyevy namful to him; and the Imperial Cabinet has no motive to prolong it beyond tixi]e essentially uceei&ary. 1-iUll then he will only |»e tolerated” savs the article in question; but wc tire convinced that, as the Kussiau* representative, 'he will receive the re {rat'd due to the po sition with which ho is invested, and to tho government of whichhe is the official organ, the rederal Government has too strong a sentiment of its own dignity to dHpenao which it Would elhini to have strictly observed in its own regard. However painful this incident may be, reduces itself, as may lie seen, tea question purely personal, }f does not affect tao lutciyots ui iho two countries or their mulmal sentiments.

Wo regret that the American presss does not always conform to this prin ciple. Involuntarily, no doubt, it treats mattters with au indiscretion and often with a violence which are not admissible in dinlo matic concerns, aud which, by delivering questions popular malignity, may give them an irritating character. But, fortunately, the decision remains in the calmer bands of the governments, and we do not doubt for a moment that the matter will be settled in a satisfactory manner by amicable under* standing. THE BROKEN BANKS. H*w the Dankrnpt Savings Banka fltnnd •r-Thcir Condition, Assets, Resources, and Debts, From tho Now York World, Nov. 20. The unexpected suspension of no less than three savings biiiks, and, in consequence, the anticipation that other banks are in a similarly bankrupt condition, formed the great topic of talk through the city yester day. Thousands of persons asked themselves how could it he possible that the Guardian Savings Bank, with Mr. William M. Tweed as President; the Bowling Green Savings Bank, with Police Commissioner Henry Smith as President; or the National Savings Institution, with J. Mcß. Davidson os Presi dent, and having as officers Henry Smith, Richard M. Tweed, Charles H. Hall, George W. Butt, Walter Roche, and Reeves H. Selmes, would fail. Bat in opposition to these there were os many who declared that for that very reason the hanks necessarily failed. Tho first and most curious failure is that of the Bowling Green Savings Bank. The depositors in the bank are nearly ail poor workingmen and ’longshoremen in the First Ward. Mr. Smith is the President, and Judge Hogan and Mr. Walter Roche Vice Presidents,. The liabilities of tho bonk are over £500,000.. The official report of the iu atitution, made last January to Superinten dent Howell, represents its assets at $643,- 011, aud liabilities at precisely the same amount—a rather odd circumstance. The bank has loaned $80,572.80 on life insurance company’s stock, bonds of private corpora-, lions, and other securities,” and $40,410.26 on persona 1 securities.** The cause of the suspension is said to bo the loss of $250,- 000 on a purchase of the bonds of the Hanni bal St. Joseph Railroad, w |iicli is not worth 30 cents on the thousand dollars. To-day will tell whether there is t he slightest proba bility of tho poor depositors being paid their money. Mr. Walter Roelic has given the banka mortgage fors4o,ooo on his private residence to bo disposed of fur tho benefit of the bank. The petty politicians of the Seventh, Sixth, Fourteentu and Fourth Wards are howling with indignation. Nearly nil of them have deposited their savings after each election in the Guardian Savings Bank, comer of Worth and Chuthapi streets, over theafiairs of which, at the iustaqcg of Mr. P. Gill, Mr. Jeremiah Quinlan was appointed Receiver. The charter of tho institution was obtained during the session of tho Legislature in the winter of Tho officers of the bank are William M. Tweed, President; William L. Ely, Secretary: William H Doughty, Treasurer; Walter Roche, OwenW. Brennan, Charles E. Wilbour, James H. Ingersoli, G. Putnam and T. Brennan, Directors. It is claimed that tho bunk is solvent, and bus enough assets to meet its liabilities, but that the deposits have been put out on bund aud mortgage to a great extent, and will re quire sppje t|me to he worked back without loss on the investments. 'The Receiver of tbo hunk, Mr. JereipiaU Qnjnlau, has had’a force of accountants af work on‘the books of the bunk, and most likely will to-day lay before Judge Barnard a clear proof-balance sheet, showing that the bquk la solvent, and will fio able, before tlie expiration of tbo sixty days allowed it by law, to discharge all its liabilities. In Ibis respect the report of the bpnk, pqicle last January to tbo Superin tendent of Banks, Hon. D. C. Howell, is In teresting. This reiwrl—tho latest one of the Guardian Savings Bunk—gave the financial state of the institution, as follows: RESOURCES. Bonds and mortgages $159,130 50 Amount loaned on public stocks 55-500.00 Cash on deposit In banks or trust companies 14.415.5S Cash cfi band not deposited In bank 2,000.00 Total.- fcrej,l9o.o6 UAUILITIES. Amount duo to depositors: Principal $259,105.20 Interest credited for Janu ary I* 5,430.57—5255,590.07 Mr. Walter Roche handed Mr. Quinlan on Sat unlay, values amounting to $300,000 on uujncnuißefed real estate, to be liquidated for the benefit of the bank.

The famous collection of paintings belong ing to Mr. Alexander White, of Chicago, by which public attention was called in the Jiveniuff Font a few days since, has already been opened for a private view at the Leavitt Art Rooms, Broadway. The collection of this rare and nnione gallery of paintings has been alabprpf love 'with the owner; in his selection of subjects he has been guided by refined taste. I A largo proportion of the pictures were I painted by the artists to Mr. White’s order. 1 Oup of its ipost brilliant gems is The Cock I Fight,” by Geromo* This picture is well known to the public through its reproduc tion in photographic form by Messrs. Gonpii Co., of Paris, and on its tirst exhibition I its author was at unco hailed as a great mas ter. Another rare feature in this collection is that every picture jsa guaranteed original: there are no copies or reproductions in it. A brief mention of some of the most im portant pictures will prove interesting. (’ail lluhiier is represented by two important works of a strong and noble character; “The Sleeping Guardian” pictures an old Dutch interior, with the figure of an old.lndy sleep ing in her chair; her fair and rosy-checked daughter sits by her, and at the moment is in the act of receiving a love-letter which a youth is holding out to her; his head and arm extended through an open window. The subject is very quaint and realistic. The companion picture Is more refined in its study. It illustrates “Charity.” A German family entering a church dear have paused for a moment to listen to the petition of a beggar seated by the wayside. is represented hy a powerful composition, entitled “Thb Morning Before the Battle.” It presents a scene of the time of Cromwell. An old Komulheud is seated reading his Bible aloud, and enforcing its precepts by energetic gestures. Hismiditors are a young soldier and a soleiun-visaged bull-dog, both of whom have been educated to keep one eye and ear trained on the euc my, and the other devoutly attentive to the exposition of the holy word. The various incidents of eamp-lifeare vividly delineated, and the ui>ol, gray atmosphere peculiar to early morning is, in etleet, rendered with the most subtle intensity. •Tscbnggeny is represented by a group of sheep coming out of a stable under ihe control of a voung shenordesß Gcselsehap, by The Saturday Night Bath”—a group of children taking a hath in an humble cottage, under a candle light efiect; ami Caltech by a fine interior with figures.
