Bank of Maryland.-The documents which
we publish to-day will explain to our readers
the cause and nature Of the interruption OF the
course of the business which was adopted, and
until Yesterday, pursued, by the Trustees who
have charge of the concerns of this Bank.
It may be inferred from the notice OF the
Trustees. and the letter of their counsel, that
although they will not receive the notes OF the
Bank in payment of debts due to it. they will re-
frain from protesting any note becoming due
to the bank when the amount shall be rendered
in notes of, or, it is presumed, checks on depo-
site in. the bank. The debtors OF the bank,
therefore who desire to shun protest, will still
have to provide and offer funds to meet their
engagements, which will not be received, until
the Court Of Appeals shall decide the question,
whether the notes of the Bank of Maryland
shall be received in payment OF debts due to it,"
The following is the 18th section of the Act of
1918, chapter III, which, if is said, was relied
on as authority for adopting the course pursued
by the Trustees
AHd be 1t enaced, That in payment of any
debt due to, or judgment obtained by bank
or banks in this State, the note or notes of the
bank to whom the debt is due, or by or for whom
the Judgment has been obtained, shall be re-
ceived in payment the full value contained in
the promise made by said note or notes"

CELEBRATION AT FREDERICKSBURG.


The Wing Celebration at Fredericksburg
went off in fine style. Mr. Preston's speech
there is said to have been one of his best efforts
We are sorry we have not room for detailed
account of the Festival We subjoin the letters
sent by Messrs. John Quincy Adams, J. c. Cal
houn, and Henry Clay:
WASHINGTON, May 30th, 1884
Gentlemen:-I duly received the invitation to
attend the Wing Celebration at Fredericksburg
to morrow which you did me the honor to trans
NIT and it was my intention to attend on that
agreeable occasion, if could with convenience
and propriety. have, consequently, delayed
to the latest period replying to your note, since
the. receipt Of which / have been compelled,
from considerations Of public duty, to decline
accepting an invitation to similar Festival at
Alexandra. The same considerations oblige
me. most reluctantly, to remain here, and to de-
nv myself the great qualification which should
experience from being with you in person. In
spirit sentiment and sympathy, while life en-
dures ] shall always be with any portion OF my
countrymen, who are rejoicing at the just re-
buke of usurpation, and resolving to maintain
unmpaired civil liberty and our free institu-
tons | have ever cherished feelings OF hllal
regard and affection towards the State which
we me birth; but her recent conduct has great
" augmented my respect and veneration
request you, gentlemen, and your associates
to believe that make great sacrifice in re-
naming absent from you tomorrow; and to al
low me to propose for your consideration the
annexed sentiment.
am, gentlemen, with high respect,
Your obedient servant II. CLAY.

WASHINGTON. 29th Nav. 1884

Fello1D- Citizens:-I am honored with your
circular Of the 21st instant, requesting my at
tendance at your proposed Festival. Engage
OBTAINING me in this city at the time. for which
the celebration is fixed, deprive me of the plea
sure of accepting your kind invitation. But up
on the result of the elections to your State Lee
gislature, offer you sincere and cordial con-
graduation.
The cool, deliberate, and determined attitude
assumed on this occasion by the People of Viz
ginia, to which cannot doubt that the voice of
their fellow citizens in all parts of the Union will
harmoniousy respond, will rectify some misap-
prehensions entertained with regard to the ma
ture and extent of Executive Power as deleeat-
ed in the Constitution Of the United States, and
the attempt to carry out which in practice has
led to much disorder in the administration of
our public affairs, and to still more grievous
alarm for our future prospects. Great errors in
this respect have been eXemphtled in action
and asserted in theory. The most important
and most prolific of them all, has been the mis-
taking a right to the custody, for right to the
use, of the public revenues. The latter, | take
it for granted, will, ere long, be recognized not
as an Executive power in its nature, original or
dervative, but as portion of the property Of
the People, subject to the disposal Of Congress
as prescribed by the Constitution.
beg leave to offer you the following senti-
ment and remain, with the highest respect, your
fellow-citizen, JOHN Quincy ADAMS.

WASHINGTON, May 9th, 1884.


GenIemen-I have been hOnored by your
note inviting me, in the name of the citizens of
Fredericksburg, Falmouth and their vicinities,
to attend a Festival, on the 3lSt inst, in cele
bratiOn Of the late election in Virginia
Regarding the result of your late election, as
indicating the commencement of 4 Sautary
change in the public sentiment of the State, |
heartily approve of the object of your Festival,
and would with pleasure attend, were not re-
strained by a rule, which have acted for
years, to decline all invitations to political meet
ings, which was adopted for reasons unnecessa-
~ to explain on the present occasion
Though sufficient has been done to excite JOY,
it would be a fatal error to suppose that victory
is already achieved and our liberty secured.
Much has been done, but much more still re-
mains to be done. Let us not deceive ourselves.
Our political system is deeply diseased, and no.
thing short ola thorough change pervading eve
ry department of the Government can restore
our institutions to healthy condition. 1t would
be tedious task to undertake to point out the
many political diseases under which the cOun-
try is suffering. To justify what have assert
ed, it is sufficient TO remark, that the public
funds are still under the sole and exclusive Gus
tody Of the President, with scarcely prospect
of restoring them to the dominion Of the laws,
under which they were intended to be placed by
the Constitution; that the currency is greatly
deranged, to the deep injury OF the industry and
commerce of the country; that the public dis
bursenlents are great and profuse, beyond eX-
ample, and still on the increase; while the pub
lie income is on the decline; which, ifcontinued,
must soon bring us to the period when the Gov
eminent must to meet its current disbursements,
be compelled to lay new duties, or to borrow
money; and thus commence a new debt at the
moment Of paying off the old. In such a state
Of things it would be folly to consider what has
been effected to be more than mere commence
ment of the great work of arresting usurpatons
and correcting abuses; and which, trust, will
continue to progress, till the body polite shall
he restored to a sound and healthy condition.
To leave the work half done, would be to do no.
thing at all.
In conclusion, l take the liberty to offer the
annexed sentiment.
With great respect, am, &c.
JOHN c. CALHOUN.
