bitter fruits which must inevitably result from n

STUPENDous FRAUD.-We have the following
facts from an unquesionable source:
Within the last week, gentleman called at the
Bank of the United States with upwards of
10000 in notes and drafts of the old bank and
branches, among which were only about $40 in
notes OF the new bank.
Upon adjusting various accounts, there remain
ed a balance Of over $4,000 due TO him. in paw
ment of which he was rendered notes of the old
bank. He declined receiving them and demanded
notes of the new bank. THEY WERE RE-
FUSED. He finally adjusted his balance by
transferring it to the credit of New York bank
While settling his account, he salc The officers
Of the bank paying ont the notes ofthe old bank
at the counter.
1t hence appears that the bank issues notes
which ii refuSes TO pay altogether. 1t refuses to
pay them in specie. 1t refuses to pay them in its
own notes. Mr. Bidde's bank has no more right
TO issue them than any individual into whose
hands they might have been put for safe keeping
1t is fragrant violation of the old charter which
requires the affairs Of the corporation il created to
be wound up in two years from the expiration of
its term. An individual who should do it, would
be liable TO indictment and punishment for swim
ding.
Is not every officer of the new bank who has
an agency in their issue, liable to like penalty
They give out paper which they KNOW the
bank has no intention TO pay, and shall the bank
save its charter in honest Pennsylvania by such
a STUPENDOUS FRAUD! Is Governor Ritner
prepared TO repriere ii on these terms? Is the
judiciary so STEPPED in corruption, as, if appealed
to, not to punish such crime. We shall see.--
