DEAR SIR:-
Some trouble had like to have occurred at the
Moyamensng Bank yesterday, growing out of the
selection OF Judges to superintend the election of
Directors, which under their charter annually takes
place on the third Monday in November, at this.
andnearly all the banking institutions of this city,
The Directors of the Moyamensing Bank, agreeably
to the provisions of the law, on the 18th inst Sc
lected Col. James Page, Charles Rizer and Peter
Cullen, judges of the election to be held on the
succeeding Monday, the charter requiring them
(the udges) to be selected at least five days before
any election. On Saturday evening, however, a
special meeting was held, Messrs. Page and Rizer
displaced, and two other persons substituted in
their stead. The gentlemen first selected at
once obtained an injunction against this unlaw-
Judges of the Supreme Court against the directors
of the bank, the result of which was that the
Judges originally chosen proceeded to the perform
ance of their duties without further Interruption
seemed at one time to require the interference of
the police, and believe that officers were actually
in attendance during the progress of the election to
prevent a breach OF the peace; quiet, however, was
maintained and the election resulted in the selec-
ton of the following named gentlemen by an over
whelmlng majority, as Directors for the ensuing
year,
George Follin, A. w. Thompson John Nc Allister A.
Stevenson, s. r. Simmons Frederick Klett John Ripka
Frederick Soever, Gideon G. Wescott J. S. Woodward
Churchill Houston, p. A. Keyser, John Richie.

selected with so much unanimity, the bank will
soon be placed IN prosperous and healthy condi-
ton.
At the Western Bank there was also an exciting
thousand, which is considered large for since the
reform law, passed by our Legislature at "a recent
session, has been In existence, the proxy voting
entirely ann9lled;;. The, opposition at this bank
was principally directed against three gentlemen,
who are regarded with us as most esimabe men,
and honest guardians of their trust, having BEEN
during the difficulties through which the commr-
nifty have passed for several years, the main stay
reputation of the bank has been so honorably
and successfully maintained, and the interest of
the stockholders well guarded. ! alude to Jo-
seph Yeager, than whom there is not a more honest
man IN our community; to Robert Allen and Lewis
NJ. Iroutman men known here as favorably as any
IN the whole range of mercantile people, and all of
them successful and steady advocates of bank re-
form. | congratulate these gentlemen upon the VIC
tory gained, and the stockholders at having sue
ceeded against formidable opposition in maintain
ing their consistency, for gratitude, at least to
faithful public servant, Joseph Yeager, Esq, who
at great disadvantage to himself and sacrifice of
time has consented to take seat at the board
The following are the directors elected:-
Joseph Patterson, John Wright William Camm Will.
liam A. Blanchard, William A. Everly, John Cooper
John r. Worrell Lewis Ryan, James Twaddell Lewis
NJ Troutman Morris Patterson Joseph Yeager and Robt
Allen.
The highest vote polled for any of the above was
999, and the lowest 593.
have also understood there was opposition at the
Mechanics Bank and some others, but not being
able to obtain particulars, pass them over for fu-
ture notice, should occasion require it.

agency of that enterprisng caterer g Florence of
Broadway and Park Place" whose magnificent es-
adjustment is the wonder and admiration ,of all
