Here are the names Of twenty-nine
individuals, twenty-five of whom reside
in this county. Mr.. Corey resides in
Damascus, Henry county, Ohio; Mr..
Beach, in Perrysburgh; Mr.. Wood, in
Troy, Wood couny, Ohio; and Mr..
Chittenden, although on the Recorders
books, he is represented as living in
this place. has been, and for aught we
know, is yet, a resident Of "parts un-
kaown'' to US. Twsnty-four are resi-
dents Of this (Findlay) township, and
one, Mr. Dukes, Of Blanchard town
ship. S. & P. Carlin, Edison Colt,
VIM. rotterfeld, and James Robinson
claim 10 be democrats. Mr.. Colt has
made some hard money speeches, here
t~ofore, as we have been miormed.-
The balance Of them, we believe, are
wings in profession and practice. We
will close this brief description by ad-
ding that two Of them are preachers,
and one is a horse doctor, or, at least,
keeps horse medicine for sale.
Of the above named individuals,
Messrs. HYATT, C~hittenden, Colt, S Car
lin, Henderson, Taylor, and Vance,
have been chosen Bank Directors. W.
have been told, that Mr. Chittenden is
to be the Cashier. W. have also bsen
told that this Mr. Chittenden was Cash
Ter OF one Of the branches of the explo-
ded State Bank Of illinois, and ofcourse
has made enough by the explosion Of
that concern to start a bank in Find
lay.
There are many Of these men who
are, like %oursslf, hard run to pay their
honest debts; and we presume the falm-
srs and others who will have to handle
the illusions cfrags, oil, and lampblack
put forth by the contemplated swind-
ling shop, will be anxious to know what
these men who are the stockholders in
il are worth-to know if they have any
thing wherewith to back uptheir prom
ises to pay. The public have no bet
ter way Of finding the amount of their
property, than TO take their own state
ments, under oath, as made to the AS
SCISSOR last spring; andin order to show
this matter, we have taken some pains
10 examine the books and ascertain
how much some of these gentlemen
thereafter to be called bankers) are
worth. We will begin with. VIM. M
Patterson, the banker who went up to
Williamste wn and raised such a blow
about his thousand dollars bank stock
we find his total property, moneys
credits, and all, as given under oath, te
amount to the vast sum Of one hundred
and ffty-seyen dollars! David Patton
bank stock $1,000, property on dupli
cate S955; A. G. Stone, bank stock
$4,000, property on duplicate $4,000.
II. A. Ogden, bank stock $1,000 prop
yerty on duplicate $1,lo7; VIM. j
Wells, bank stock 1000, property or
duplicate $1l8. In relation to those
who reside out Of tho county, we can
not say how much property they own
Some Of the balance have moro prop
srty than their stock amounts to; 9th
crs have not, and a few have just hal
as much.
There is not, perhaps, a single indi
! yidual, except Mr.. Chit!sndsn, amons
the stockholders in this concern, tina
has fifty dollars to spare out Of his reg
ular business, whsrson to 90 to bank
ing. But this wal easily rsmsdied.-
MI. Chittenden GENES here, calls
meeting ofthoss DESTROYS OF smbarkinI
in this pheasant and profitable business,
lays the whole plan before them, tell,
them there is money to be made at il
and finally a number express a willing
/. ness to go into it. but say that theJ
have not the money-that they hav,
enough to do to get along with thei
business with all the money they car
!. raise. He tells them, however, that b,
has plenty Of money, tells them to sub
scribe and he will lend them all ID,
