BANK OF MARYLAND.

To the Editors of the National InteLtigencer.
am creditor Of the Bank of Maryland,
and have been looking anxiously for statement
of their affairs, since the 25th March.
Your paper of this day, find, contains what
is called statement, but it is so mystfed, that
not one person in twenty can understand it.
Isubioin statement in the DIR. and Or. from,
which can be readily understood, and from
which the creditors may form some Sllght loea
of the value of their claims.
The statement given by the Trustees does
not give the candid exhibit of the affairs OF the
Bank, which the creditors have right TO pos
sess do not mean to ask whether the Bank
was frauduenty managed, but have right
to inquire when and by what authority Mr..
Poultney's notes for 400, 900 dollars were receiv-
ed. whether before or after the assignment, and
what has become Of an important item in Bank
statements-the "capital stock?" When MIR.
Poultney purchased the Bank of Maryland,
il possessed capital stock Of 100000 dollars:
what has become of it? Has it been withdrawn
without any entry being made? This must be
the case, as the Trustees statement contains an
| account of all the bad debts which shows the
capital stock has not been absorbed by losses
| Itappears that the Bank Of Maryland is in
debted to the Union Bank 100000 dollars not
| embraced in the statemet and that the sum is
secured by 4, 600 shares Union Bank stock: the
Trustees ought to inform us what is the value or
| this stock, and how much will be lost to the Gre
dtors by its sale.
AS to the security Of 500 shares ofBank of Ma
ryIand stock, for the small item of 400, 600 dol
lars of E. Poultneys notes, it cannot be made
available for dollar as the capital stock is not
only lost, but there is deficiency of $4,000
dollars, which the purchasers will have to pay
before the charter can be used
| Another piece of information the creditors
have a right to know what reasons MIR. Ellicott
assigned for not uniting with the Trustees IN
! their report?
| If the Trustees do not speedily give full
and frank exhibit Of the affairs of the Bank,
the creditors ought to take legal steps to obtain
an exhibit presume the trust cannot now be
set aside 1t ought to be, as the holders of 1876,
900 dollars ofthe obligations must sustain to-
tai loss. Those who sell soon may get some
thing those who hold on until the good debts are
paid, will lose all. QOERO.

ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1884
SAVINGS FUND INSTITUTION.


We respectfully call the attention of our read
ers, particularly Of the laboring classes, to the
report of the proceedings Of the Savings Fund
Institution, published to-day-an institution got
ten up entirely for the benefit ofthose we address,
and which we are confident will be of essential
advantage to them, while conducted by gen.
tlemen Of the known integrity of the Board OF
Managers. These gentlemen devote portion
of their time to the affairs of this institution,
without the hope of any other reward than the
consciousness of promoting the interests of their
fellow citizens
AS set forth in the preamble of their Constitu-
ton, the Society is for the benefit of mechanics,
laborers, and others, including both sexes and
all ages, who (when they have it in their power
to spare any small sum) shall find ready means
and safe place to lay it by, and where it shall
not be idle and useless, but shall be earning for
the depositors some interest. 1t may be said by
the aboring man, that his earnings, after sup
porting himself are too small to be put out at
interest, or that the interest will be so slow IN
accommodating that it will not be worth while to
attempt it. We happily have it in our power to
state examples, taken, by leave, from the books
of the company, shelving that the reverse of this
view is correct:

The Aurora.-Col. William Duane the vete.
ran editor of former days, has issued proposals
Tor " revving and publishing the Aurora" in
Philadelphia The Aurora, of the Revolution Of
'9S, and ofthe ten subsequent years, exhibited
an ability and possessed an influence among
the Democratic party, second to no paper in the
union. Under the same supervision the revived
publication cannot but be a powerful auxiliary
in any cause which it may espouse. The mere
proposition to revive this paper will make the
Kitchen Cabinet "shake in their shoes" To
them it can certainly portend nothing but evil.
