leaped from the garFet window and ran to
The river ST. Lawrence. Finding him

officers called to him TO stop, or he would
Gre. He then threw into the current a
package containing, as he says, $2,700,
and told the officer to fire, as he was
ready to die.

vented, but be got nice fogging for his

and crossed TO an island in the river, but

The foregoing suggestion, that Mich

perhaps not iIlfounded.
1t strikes us that the publication ofthe
last two paragraphs of Bhwyer's letter was
very injadicious--or it may prevent the

notifying the world, himself and his

BANK COMMISSIONERS REsIGNED.-Wil-
liam S. IIatch aud Ebet W. Hubbard, Bank
Commissioners Of Ohio, have sent TO the
Governor their resignation. The reasons
assigned are--First, that the law under
which they have acted has frequently
been rendered imperative by the refusal
of the judges of the Supreme Court TO
grant writs Of mandamus against banks
that had become insolyent, or had viola
ted the provisions ofthe laws passed for
their regulation. Aud second, that the
last Legislature, by neglecting to fill the
vacancy in the Board, and to provide for
the due exercise of the laws, had SEEM
ingly indicated Willingness TO suspend
any further action under them.

AMERICAN PRISONERS AT VAN DIE.
MANS LAND While the public sympa.
thy has been demanded for M'Leod is
II not due TO humanity that the Ameri-
can prisoners, engaged in the Canada
incursions, in 1888, and now suffering
Imprisonment at Van Diemsn's Land !,
should not be altogether overlocked?--
In most cases, these we're young men, OF
reputable familes--fafmer residing on
the frontier connties-who, msled by
the feeling then abroad, were induced
10 invade the territory Of a nation with
whom we were atpeace II is not claim
ed that they were wrongfully convicted. !
But as no possible good can be attended
by their farther punishment--a they have
already suffered as much as the public
good, or the claims of national Justice,
can be supposed TO require--it IS to be
hoped that the British Government will
allow them to return to their fsmilies and
friends. Our government may not claim
their dlscharge--and perhaps it may
think it ought not to interfere-but we
see no impronrietV on their part in call
ing the attention of the British authori
ties TO this subject, aud in inviting them
to an act of clemency that would rebound
far more to their credit than disadvantage.
