feStiVlty

The following occurrence took place yester-
day in one Of our Banks:-A person carrying
ON an extensive business in the produce and
fish line, had much more money on deposte
than he could afford to lose, but had also re-
ceiyed much benefit from the aid he had recelv-
ed from the Banks. Influenced by the example
of his neighbors and by the fear of losing his
all he came to the resolution to withdraw
part, leaving the residue as some return for the
benefits he had received from the Bank. A di-
rector present asked him why he was afraid,
and repeated an assurance before given to him,
that he was perfectly safe. Gentlemen" says
he, 81 know very well that you are all well OFT,
and even that many of you may have large
sums on deposite; but, in case of need, you will
first take care of yourselves" To this the other
replied, that I" it was not $3.50 far from it, the
directors were willing to add their own respon-
sibility. | will do so: Mr.. will back me-"
Very well, gentlemen" replied the merchant
=" this is all | desire; l am content not only to
leave this here but to bring some more which
have at home''
Before inserting the above, took the precau-
ton to enquire into its truth. One of the part
ners assured me it was substantially so--and
added, that on the same morning several OF the
directors, who had seen and regretted the need
less alarm. resolved that the Bank should be
supported by their means and individual credit;
and that the latter should be given freely to any
one who might feel uneasness

PATRIOTIC BANK,
Washington, 18th April, 1884. :

WASHINGTON, 14h ApT7L 1884.
At special meeting of the President and Di-
rectors of the Patriotic Bank, held this day, for
the purpose Of taking into consideration the
alarming state Of the commercial affairs of this
District, it was unanimously
Resoteed, That in the opinion of the Board the
interest of the Bank and its creditors requires
that the payment Of specie for its obligations
ought to be, for the present, suspended.
RESOLVED, That, in the opinion of the Board,
the report made by the Committee ofInvestiga-
ton, in January last, showing that Bank had
not only the ability to pay its obligations, but
to paw the stockholders upwards of 10 per cent.
was a true and correct statement of the affairs
of the Bank, and that nothing has occurred,
thus far, to render the securities of the Bank
less safe than at that period.
Resolved That the creditors of the Bank be
requested not to sacrifice their claims, as the
Board feel authorized to assure them that they
will all be paid.
In making known this determination, the
Board need hardly say that nothing but the ex-
traordinary juncture of affairs could have
brought them to the painful necessity of this an
nunciation. They earnestly invite all persons
interested to call and satisfy themselves of the
condition of the Bank, and the eXertions made
by the Board to sustain the institution, and that,
so far as discretion and prudence would author
ze, they have personally gone.
