r 11X3 Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. By IIUGII WILSON & >V. V. BEXET. Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1878. Dyspeptic. "From the reading of the following articles in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, we are lod to infer that the editor's digestive organs are out of order: "We are glad to note that Coi. C. B. Siumnton, of Covington, Tenn., lias receivod tlie Democratic nomination from his district for conjrress. This is quite a compliment to a son of Et skine. for Covingtou is in the Memphis District. And yet some sap headed people talk about Erskine College being a "one-horse institution," and engaged in turning out "second rate men." Coi. Sinionton will make his mark in congress, aud will prove hitnselt worthy of his Alma Afafer." "Up-Starts.?The amazing presumption of some men would be very laughable if it were not very contemptible. T'? bear them talk one would suppose that they had descended from some superior race, and that they were gifted in some supernatural way with more than human endowments. In their estimation Bacon and Locke were fools, and even the wisdom of Solomon was nothing but moonshine. Bob I ngersoll, the infidel lecturer, lias just discovered that there has been no great poet since Shakespeare but Burns! Milton's Paradise Lost is pronounced unworthy of a second perusal, <&<*., <Sc. The world is full of just such wise-acres?men who are wise in their own conceit. In the judgment of others they are "fools," but of themselves they say, "Behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Generally such fellows have sprung from an humble origin. Their fathers and mothers were common people?very good people it may be, but (iod lias seen tit to send upon'them a very groat blessing or a very great curse, (which it is will depend upon who is the judge in the premises,) in the shape of a very wise son?one that knows every thing, and in whose estimation all the world beside are fools. Their lives are not the most consistent ; they draw heavily on the forbearance of their friends, and yet they do not hesitate to sit in iuderment on'all around them, and to cut and slash as if thev had been appointed critics by some supreme power. Perhaps the worst feature in the case ot these "upstarts" is their hypocrisy. To your fare their wurris are "smooth rs butter," wlnl<? behind your back, "the poison of asps is under their lips." Of the last paragraph we would say : As honor and shame from no condition rise, it is a matter of small moment to the public whether Bob Injjersoll's people are "common" or not. In this democratic government the brightest ornaments of the country as often como from the "common" people as from the bluest blood. What we have to deal with is, Bob Ingersoll himself, and with his actions. Of Ingersoll and his work of assailing Christianity, we have no defence. We are as ready to denounce his course as any body. Of all the sins, however, that have been laid to his door, this is the first time that wo recollect to have seen him charged wth "hypocrisy." Of the first paragraph we would sny that wo are glad to learn that the Democrats of Tennessee have honored Col. C. B. Simonton in making him their nominee for Congressional honors. The remarks of the Prcxb^terian, however, about "sap-headed people," and "Ers"kine College being a one-horse institution, engaged in turning out second "rato men" will not have a good effect. Without stopping to criticise the good taste "which prompts the use of such language as "sap-headed people" we simply remark in passing, that for the casual reader, it 6poils the euphony and symmetry of a paragraph, oth erwlse pleasant, while it must be mortifying to Col. Siniouton for lus Tennessee friends to know that a single man in South Carolina thinks his beloved Alma Mater & "one-horse" concern, and that man too, the distinguished representative from Charleston, the Hon. C. G. Meinminger, to whom we presume ho alludes, who for twenty years before the war was a leading representative of the emporium of the State, in the General Assembly, and the father of the publicschool system of Charleston, a credit to the city and alike to the State; and whose opinion on educational subjects ia by no means to be despised ; and who was also the Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States Government. The term "sap-head," used as it was, is too sweeping when it embraces such men as Mr. Meminingcr. Tho fact is, Erskine College is an excellent institution, engaged in a most noble work, and it seems to us that it can but offend good taste persistently to publish to the world aud the Church at large that there are citizens in South CarMolina, even if they be " sap-head?," who think so poorly ol that institution. We hope that it will be understood that wo sav this not in behalf of Mr. Memininger, for his reputation is in less danger of being injured by such thrusts than is that of the College, and we submit that if the Presbyterian will continue to herald his insult to Erskine, it would be only an act of simple justice to the institution to state at the same time that it was made as a retort to a harp assault by the friends of denominational colleges against an institution which has been an inestimable blessing to the whole people of South Carolina. While the quotations by the Presbytei*i* an may be literally correct, yet taken ' - separately without stating the surrounding circumstances and provoking causes, .> they, convey a wrong impression to a ^/.reader not familiar with all the facts. .What are Mississippians, Tenneseeans, and other friends at a distance to think when they see the bam assertion that one of our most distinguished Legislators made use of such language in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives? Is it fair to Erskine? We -* ask the question, knowing there is but one answer. Could an enemy do more to injure the Collego than to publish these quotations without stating the circumstances of the united and ferocious attack by the friends of denominational Colleges upon a sister institution ? We > * think we know whereof we speak when we say that Erskine College is above refproacli, and any defence of a great institution like this, against tho assaults of I "sap-heads" should be discontinued, and it is In the interest of Ecskine College that we speak thus. The College or its friends in the Legisla ture cannot go to war without hearing unpleasant sounds, and we think It would gain more by quietly entering on a truce with other colleges and their friends. The College cannot without injury to itself keep up this eternal warfaro against what it may terra a rival Institution, and the constant repetition of such injurious remarks will indelibly imwess them upon the public mind, to the great injury ' of the College. Unjust aspersions should never be repeated, much less v printed Jin a newspaper, and we reproU due# the article in question only to show the justice of our position. The public r should be allowed to forget the unpleasF J ant words quoted of Col. Simonton'8 f,' ' A'ima Mater. While the frequent publication of the wordalluded to may have i the desired effect of arraying the rnemJ bers of the Associate Reformed Church gaiust their author, the College is by no means to be benefitted by showing that even its enemies are holding it up to public ridicule. The College in fact, is H not an inferior institution, and the publi& cation of any sentiment looking to the ' degradation of the College is, in our opinion ,a positive injury. The good name of a college is too precious to be lightly spoken of or carelessly treated, and wo have * no doubt that Mr. Memminger ere this I regrets having so for lost his temper in a nil I j heated debate as to speak ill of an instiI union of which Abbeville County liaa alw.ivm felt so proud. Another uiatter we hope to be pardoned for alluding to iu this conneetion is the , t'reoiu-nt cluilh-nt/n hv tliH/Yr.vfti/ter/mtJUKl I various of its contributors, to a compaii?<>? of the afier-success in liio of its graduates with those of other institutions. It is natural and right that the college should watch the history of her graduates, und it is to be expected that j .she should note their success and I achievements with an honest pride, and with that pleasure which is akin to the I gratification which a parent experiences j ui, the success of a son, but as it would j not be in good taste for the father conjstaiuly to remind his neighbor of the I superiority of his own son, neither is it 1 pleasant for one college to be constantly I challenging others to comparisons. The college, even though its graduates were notably and indisputably better than j those of another, would, by exciting : j,jealousy, lost more in substantial friend- 1 j ships than the mere pleasure of gratifying 1 a little vanity would be worth. We hope therefore to hear of no more comparisons, and trust that those derisive words of 1 Mr. Memmiugor in reference to Erskine 1 may be never printed again. By this article we meau no reflection , 1 whatever 011 our distinguished and venierable coteinporary, nor do we aspire to i exceed him in friendship for Erskine 1 I Kitf VL'O h.ino ay a frifind. to lie I | allowed the privilege of ofl'ering some i j suggestions for what they aro worth. , Only this and nothing more. < > > I The Columbia Register ou the New Assessment. After reading and publishing Comp- j troller General Hagood's letter in which j ho said that a statement was being prepared for publication, and to be published in a few lavs, which would explain ; the action of the State Board of Equali: zation, it was our purpose to make no adj ditional reference to thissubject until the . appearance of the promised statement. But our Columbia contemporary, the Register, while kindly administering to us a well-meant chiding, has so misstated the case and misjudged our motives that we crave leave to correct our goodnaturad corrector. We shall take up the "three self-evident propositions" which in our "zealous denunciation" the Register says J wo overlooked: First: "It required a majority of the State Board of Equalization to increase j the total assessment of real estate in any I county, and no ono man can be held rei sponsible for the action of the entire I body." We did not hold any "one man" | responsible, nor did we "direct our heavj iest lire" against "the three State ofli[ eers ;" or if we did the latter, our "tire" i was very badly "directed" and we tnnst I have hit the wrong man, for, according to the Anderson Intelligencer, there is a 1 man up in Anderson who says we hit j him. Our Andorson contemporary says ' j we have done Col. J. N. Brown "great j injustice," but that "he is willing to bear 1 his share of the responsibility." The ' "three State officers" and their friend, ' the Register, are no doubt thankful to 1 him. 5 Secondly"The owner of real estate docs not, according to law, swear 10 the actual value of his real estato, and is not required to fix any value, in his return, which relieves the question of any impu| union upon the citizens of the State." This is news to most of our people. But, whether "according to la?v"oh not, there is a great deal of "swearing" done in the Auditor's otlice. To make the "swearing" easy and convenient, there is furnished at the bottom of the tax return a form of solemn oath which is sworn to and subscribed by all tax-payers; and to make the valuing eusy there are nice little columns for "number of acres" and "value" respectively. Theu, 011 the back of the tax returns are five rules under the title "Tax-payers read the rules for val- s uing personal and real property," the fifth rule being as follows,?"Unless the value of the property listed is sworn to, the Auditor shall not be governed by the 1 amounts at which the owner may wish J them returned," ?fce. While.on tlie lace j of the return the oye of the tax-payer 1 sees an ominous little digit pointing 1.0 c the following threat, "If the person 1 refuses or neglects to list and swear to j .... the Auditor will make the return and add 50 per ct., as penalty." No , doubt the Register may tell us that all . this swearing and imposing of penalties \ is not "according to law," or that it refers only to the personal property. But the "poor tax-payer" has Dot found that out yet: he still "swears" solemnly in the Auditor's office; and the "imputation upon the citizens of the State" is not yet removed. So much for this second "self- . evident proposition." Thirdly: "The action of the State Board of Equalization is not tinal and conclusive until the Legislature has passed j upon it, which gives to the re;nesentalives of every connty an opportunity iolt correct any injustice that may have been \ ^ done." We suppose this must be a "selfevident proposition" for it is certainly not "evident" in any law relating to the I subject. The Legislature is the poor tax- J ! paver's panacea, and doubtless it will api ply to this evil a remedy which is, as General Hagood says, "simple and speedy." But did it not oecur to the Register and to General Hagood i that prevention is better than cure,?that ( the action of the Board should have been of a kind that needed no "remedy," no 1 matter how "simple and speedy" ? Grantinp the power of the Legislature, is < it not strange that the Register gives us a , paternal reprimand for speaking out now ! just before the Legislature meets? Ilow i j will the Legislature apply the remedy if 1 I ihe disease is uot pointed out ? How will ! the "representative of every county" use ' their "opportunity," if the people do not < tell them of any injustice that may have ' been done" ? And yet the Register would have us all keeD auiet until it is too late for remedy. As to our "bringing charges against high officials whose character and repu- 1 tation are at stake," we only say that we brought 110 charge against the character ] of those "high officials." We have the honor to be personally acquainted with some of those "high officials," and the Register itself cannot hold their character in higher esteem than we do. We like not only those "high officials," but the < Register also, and we aie sure that those "high officials" and ourselves too would : like the Register much better if it would not be so constantly and blindly the ex- | cuser and defender of "high officials." It is a strange instance of blind devotion to consider the "action of the State Board of Equalization" as identical with the "character and reputation" of "high officials." While we admire the latter we ' grumble at the former. Our kind-hearted 1 contemporary has blundered thus re- ! peatedly. It has a way of talking about ( the "unimpeachable character" of "high ; officials," when other journals are only j condemning some act of theirs. It is i right and sometimes necessary to find 1 fault with the acta of even "high officials." They may be immaculate but they are not infallible; aud a little censure now and then is relished by the best of men. ( Monotonous laudation is as tiresome as a j music-box that plays only one tune. ; < ( 1 Three of the former confederates of Red- < mond. ihe famous South Carolina moonshl- < ner. nxade a proposition to the United States 1 officials that for the sum of ?1,5W> they would 1 undertake to capture and deliver Redmond i up to the law. The proposition was commu- i nlcated to the authorities, aud the Attorney- t General has decided that there is no fund 1 which could he made legally available fer ] such a purpose.?Aufftuta Ch onklc and CVn-! f MUutiori. j* The Election Yesterday. The election yesterday in Abbevi was a complete triumph for Deinocra< It is believed at this writing that tlic were not lifty Republican votes cast the County. This may br accounted 1 because of the failure on the part of t Statfl Republican Convention to put State ticket in the licld, and from the li that the old Republican leaders in t County declined either to participate the canvass or to allow their names to put in nomination for County oflic 'these facts, together with tho total i competency of the Republican Coun chairman and the self-appointed lcad< to make public speeches, and otlierw to conduct a campaign so as to itisp that enthusiasm into the great body the masses which is so necessary to bri the campaign to a successful issue, i count lor the utter breakdown Radicalism in iho County. T fact is the Republicans made not t slightest ell'ort to carry the election, I ill lowed it to go by default. The Coun I'hairman did not even as much as pi vide printpd or written tickets. At \ rious precincts numbers of onr color i-iiizens appeared, as had been their ci torn at previous elections, ready to vc as they might be instructed by their t leaders, but on this occasion they fou neither supervisors, candidates, or oth< interested ready to furnish tlio desir instructions and the needed tickets. D ippointed in not getting tickets of tin awn choosing, rather tnan forego tin high privilege of the franchise, numb< af them either voted a "scratched"' or "straight" Democratic ticket, while much larger number of that class of o jitizens, disheartened for the want o! leader, and chagrined at the turn nll'a had taken, tiuietlv leturhed to thi homes. Oil the other hand, the Democracy w thoroughly organized and fully det< mined to leave 110 stone unturned to p< pcUiate Democialic rule in Abbevi Counlv. Of course up to the hour of ing to press we are not informed as the exact vote of the Courtly, but we p, sumc it is fair to put it down at frr 4,500 to5,000, and with only a few excc tions the total vote has been for t Democratic party. On Monday night some of our j-ou men "demonstrated" a little by riding the roads in the vicinity from nineo'clo at night up to the hour of four oclock the morning, when their shouts, the ( ing of artillerj-, the ringing of bells a the beating of drums, the blowing horns, aroused the people of the toi from their slumbers, thus iudicati that the hour for "trying conclusion was fast approaching. By six o'cloel majority of the white citizens had asse bled around a lar^e bnn-fire in the pu lie square expecting to meet the ii monse crowd of colored men who b always heretofore been at the Coi house and at the school house by I time the polls were opened. At the momentous hour, as if magic quiet reigned supremo and ea aye peering in the twilight endeavored be the first to observe the approaclii forms of the expected multitude. Or in uccusiuimi uuiuruu man </i&iiiu? our voted?others did not. In an hour t iown was unusually quiet, and wo hen ,he remark that the day had moret ippearance of Sunday than any otl lay, and but littlo of interest occurr jutil about three o'clock when Captii Fohn E. Uradley's company of mount ed shirts, composed about equally .vhitesjand blacks, rode into town a janter and taking the circuit of t square, all joining in singing the m< iest of campaign songs.

We ask attention to an article eh vhore to be found in this paper from t Register. From that article it will s >ear that the Board of Equalization thii t a small matter to add seven thousa: lollars of taxes to our people. It is i leed a glorious privilege which th jrant us of appealing to the Legislatu or relief from their opprassive actic L'he negater nas a gooa aeai 10 say 'relative value," when relative value li ndeed nothing at all to do with it.

We thank the Register for its courte ind good temper in discussing this ini :er. Abbeville in Edgefield. The Democrats of Kdgefield held a b meeting at Cedar .Springs on last Thur day, where a large Company of Abt ville's most gallant sons participated the spirit and enthusiasm of that kind Democracy which always carries succei rhe News and Courier among oth things says: Special mention should bo made of t attendance of a large company of citize of Abbeville, under command of C'ai \V.

Joined the Abbevlfle contingenton the'morn-' wi lng train Inst Saturday and set ont for the J Ai ity scene of action. Abbeville was well rcpre-|di sented by both wiilte and colored democra s, wi 3rs some of the lntter being resplendent in red-1 of ise shirts. sashes, scarfs and rosettes. Arrived at Yf Hodges we found the Cokesbury Club mount- m TC ed and drawn up in line to receive their visit- ad ()f ors. Kedshirts were dashing about on horse- H back, making the scene very lively. Ever ltf tig andanon shouts could be heard of companies approaching, and forthwith the long lines of hi lc mounted democrats headed by their banners d of could be seen reddening the various rouds. th The following companies mustered,? l>on- ed lie naldsvl lie, Capt. W. K. Burmore; Greenwood, loi i,? Lieut. Wells; Iyong Cane, Capt. Benley; New 00f Market, Capt, Green; Hodges, Capt. J. 1>. ba iut Pace; Butler Rifles, Capt. W. Z. McGhee; ' j Cokesbury Cadets, Capt. Prltchard; Abbeville Iff J (colored), Capt. Ed. Henderson. Several other wl o- companies were booked for the occasion, but se at the last moment they had orders to attend di :a" the rumored radical meetingat the Promised ce ed Land. So far as we can learn, the following fli companies went to the latter place,?Abbe- ar ville. Capt. J. Puller Lyon; Mill way, (-apt. (& >to Cothran;Ninety-Six,Capt. J.N. King; Green- m wood, Capt. Sheppard; SmithvilTc, Capt. '11 lie Collins; Cedar Springs, Capt. J.E.Bradley, gt: i and numerous smaller detachments from th other clubs. This diversion of so many clubs fo ;rs from the rendezvous at Hodges diminished in , the numbers there to a considerable extent, fo eu but in spite of this drawback the demonstra- re is- tion was a splendid one. hi th Uir THE PKOCEKSION*. s0 eir At eleven o'clock the procession was form- u! ed. The chief marshal for the day was Capt. P1 ' b G. M. Hodges, who was evidently aided|by a i UHUissisfant marshals. Capt. W. 2. McGhee, Capt. J. MsMosely and Capt. A. B. Ellis. 111 a I Under their direction the procession moved in-1 oltl headed by the carriages containing the *v_ speakers. The line of march was from the ' a square, alone the side of the railway, until j" irs opposite Mr. I)ant/.ler's house; It then turn- |t ed to the left, up the new road and until It i ir reached the Cokesbury road, there again to , the left Into the grove where the speaker's stand was erected. 'ftS CANDIDATES TO THE RESCUE, d! jr~ The same cause that drew away so many of ;r- the domestic clubs also lessened the number ll' of the speakers. They too were bound for c He th? Promised lund. Although this Hodges r0. meeting was by appointment or the cou.uy " ' candidates themselves, not one of them w.-s to able to bo present. Gen. McGowan and Coh' , D. Wyatt Aiken were on thegroiiiid until ilie ' very last moment, unwilling to miss the i jm Hodges meeting, bulat thesame time willing ' to go to the radical meeting, if necessary. ' 1 JP" After exchanging several telegrams with , |ie friends at Ninety-Six and Greenwood, a filial message came urgently begging iiiem to go J" to the Promised Land. They were ofT at once. P ntr We understand that (.'apt. W. K. B>adtey Copt, Jas. 11. Klce, and Gen. It. H. Hemphill I, in also attended the expecied radical meeting, .? k and thus It happened that our candidates ,{ c were all Induced to leave Hodges behind ' in them and goto the place whe.e a siern duty " called them. It turned out that the radical * ir" meeting at the Piomlsed Land did not tt'ke :T n(? place, no doubt because of thegoodiy array of " redsliirted democracy that a ten (led to dl- :V of vide tlineas Invited and found thai they had H both the time and the place enlii-e:y to them- ? *'n selves. P n(, Those who went thither, both candidates *1 ? and red-shirts, had found the road to the ? is Promised Land a hard road to travel. They " . a found no grapes of Esehol growing there.

Taxation and Assessment of Prop- h he crty. pi 11! lP" {Register.) ni The recent criticisms upon the action of the t0 nd State Board of Equalization show that the system of assessment and taxation of propn" erty In this Stute is not properly understood, g ey and the following information will serve to ()1 J enlighten many peison upon this most im- -jre portant subject, in which every citizen has V( ,n an interest under the ad vuloram system of n, "* taxation. O of To begin with, taxes are raised as follows: q, ?R 1. An appropriation act Is pussed providing a for the necessities of the government, t. oJ is Then, by comparison of the aggregate so obtalned with the assessed value of the taxable e3 nrnnpriv of the State, the number of mills Is of. ascertained which will ralne the amount nec- f . " essary, and that number of mills lt> levied sa a ild tax. of It will bo seen, therefore, that the absolute VHluHtlon of the property of the tax-payer Is , to a mutter of no consequence to him. For In- J," iq stance, if live mills upon nn assessment will , ' raise the sum needed, double the assessment "J il- and two and a half mills will be le\ led, butjj;' the sum taken from the people will be the Ly same. Reduce the assessment one-ball', and ut to raise the sum needed ten inlll? will be lev- ' , led. While the absolute valuation Is tiius of little matter, tiie relative assessment of proper- ? ig. ty is of the gravest consequence.

Personal property being much of It Invlsi- "i1 :es ble, such us bonds, stcx-ks, money and credits th generally. Is subjected to an Inquisitorial pro- h? cess.

These w< Anally settle the value for assessment of person ally in each county for Itself, subject only "? to an appeal to the Comptroller General by a ?< ? tax-payer deeming hlmseif aggrieved. * s- 2. Ileal property being visible Is assess- 1 ed by a different method. The County Aud- y itors theinslelves make a list of each tract | l in and lot of realty In the county and tlx a val- *v f ue on it. In doing tills they are aided by as- : 01 sessors regularly appointed, who are Invested <>, 3g. with powers of Inspection, etc., and when his ?'?'? land has escaped the Auditor's attention or P< |0r new structures have been erected, the owner w is required to report the same. The tax-pay- ev er's oath Is not required by the law as to the 0,1 lio value of his land. P< ns While relative valuations are alone of con- t'" sequence, some standard must be adopted. ' The Auditor Is required, therefore, to assess "> the land at the usual selling price of similar " to properly at the place where the returns are a' ily made. th ur The Auditor submits his list of lands and )St valuations to the County Hoard of Equalization, who proceed to equalize the same by adding toor deducting from the valuations of the several parcels, so that caeh tract or lot be entered at Its true value, but the Hoard can- \y not reduce the nggregrate value of the comity jn below the aggregate returned by the Audit- 0, an or. ng A Just relative valuation having thus as at nearly as possible been attained between the to tax-payers in their respective counties, the He law now attempts to secure a Just relative val- Un ly, uat Ion between the counties themselves, and se je. for this purpose creates a tld HTATK HOARD OF EQUALIZATION, le! 'ns consisting of one member from each Congres- c1' . sional I'lsliict resident therein, to be appoint- J-'.' ed by the Governor,together with three of the , Staleotllcers, to wit, (secretary of Mate, Treast urer and Comptroller General. On their as- ~ 6embllng, the comptroller General lays be- } ' J1* fore them the abstructs of the real property ll, of each county made up as described, and af- ' Vir terwards communicates its action to the , . County Auditors. The members take an oath , to discharge their duty to the best of their }r k. knowledge and ability, and proceed to "equal- f.' , Ize the valuations of real property among the ' several counties" of the Stale. . The action of the State Hoard ofEquallza. Hon is reported to the General Assembly at \ } . Its next session, and until accepted and con- rw ,, *; firmed by Its adoption, no tax Is levied or col- J' lected upon it. The General Assembly may t adopt It in whole or in part, and by a Joint , ^ \ resolution may direct the Comptroller Gen:?eral to rate any county dltlerently from the I, for rute reP?r,ed by the Hoard.

This brief synopsis of the law sufficiently ] tv points out the remedy for any Injustice which may be done. The State Board of Equullza- pe tlon has no power to levy luxes, and clots not IS. exercise any authority thai Is not subject to wl revision through the proper channel.

EETING OF THE SHAKEHOLDI'IK nv TIIK IIROKKN BANK. oluntnry Liquidation Agreed to?A Scotch Divine's Wrath at the Canting Swindlers?Man ns Well as Minister?His Plan for Making tho Best oT What is Left. [ii.ASGow, October 2P.?A meeting of the nrclmldcrsof the City of Glasgow Hank is held this afternoon nt the City Hall, inong the shareholders present were six laes. Mr. Robert Craig was In tha chair. It is moved that the baiunee sheet and report the inspector be taken up and read. Mr. ning, of Glasgow, shipowner, seconded the otion, saying, however, that It would only Id to their sadness to have it read a-jain. c stated that the report reveals thallii June, ":t, there was actually a deficit of ?!)7;i,()0t l,70!t,:Mt), to cover which fictitious entries id been inserted, a dividend of ten per cenl iclaredand new Htock issued. From 1K7.-I Is sum of ?!(7.'t,(H)0 has been annually deduct. He then proceeded to review the other sses, producing a deficit of ?4,25<),fl?0 ($20,;"i701), which had been carried forward on the dance sheet as j,ood debts. 'Then," he continued, "as recently as June, *8, the bank had Issued a report showing hole capital of il.oGO.OIHHJH.fMO.iHiO),and a rerve of i-4.r?U.OOO (S2,178.oo0) on hand, and the rectors had declared a dividend of 12 pet nt. Now in the space of three months we id the capital gone, the reserve gone, and e confronted with a deficiency of ?5.1!M),0itf tt,119,600). It Is hardly oossib'e to speak lietly of such tremendous defalcations, lat deficiency we are now required to make lod. The deficiency is overwhelming and e prospect appalling. If liquidation mean? r many, very many shareholders, ruin and Isery, to all poverty and suffering, our misrtunes are greater than our fault In having posed confidence) in unworthy men and ivlngbclleved thefnlsebalancesheets. Hut ougn losing money, we are not lost to pernal honor. The public sympathizes with i, although we dare not ask for re'lef. We ust show the creditors that we are determ^ ed toboldlyfaceourdilllculticsand tomake renuous efforts, with a perfect determina on to pay everyone In full." Mr. Cutcheon then asked the inspector) hieh of the officials not yet arrested was re lonslble for the enormous advances and foi aklngupthe annual statements ana goia turns to the government, and whether th< spectors had speical reasons for limiting ic scope of their investigations to the perloi .ice 1K7H. He thought. the investigation iglit to go further back. Mr. McGregor, oik the Investigators, replied, declining to In cute on whom their suspicion rested. H< ould give every information to the authorl es when the time arrived. The motion ac pting the report was then carried. Rev. Mr. Robertson proposed amotion that s It was proveil the bank cannot, by rc;isoi ' its liabilities continue business, 1L was nd sable to wind up. "We meet," the revei id gentleman mournfully said, '-under ad 3rse circumstances. We are called upo i t< ce a crushing calamity, and we must acqnl irselves like brave, courageous and honot ile men. Respecting the directors I scarce dare to speak. I must endeavor to restrai? y just Indignation and speak calmly as i ilnlster of religion. Sir, these gent'ernei live been faithless to high office, disloyal fl nth and the first principles of morality 'hat, with respect to some of them, deepen te discredit is that they trod the streets o le city arrayed In the garments of religious ess, making long prayers while desolntin ldows' houses, erecting churches wi'il recking homes.

(Applause, he report Is a sorrowful document, but i ives a few gleams of light.
