then in operation; the checks of Thompson--now
in Ohic-and probably other similar assets, called
cash, were put In at the same time. The trial OF
Norton will not, probably take place till February
next, as 1t Is doubted whether there will be time
at the court OF the present month, to 60 through
with the examination. He will be defended by a
New Jersey lawyer, well acquainted with New
Jersey law, and an attempt will be made to set
aside the Indictment on the ground that the assets
sworn to by the affidavit, cash, were considered,
at the time, cash.ltems, such being deemed legal
and lawful under me decisions of the highest
courts of New Jersey. Great efforts will be made
by certain persons similarly compromised, to clear
Morton from the indictment, upon this legal ques-
ton tor II is pretty notorious that there too
many OF the banks OF New Jersey sworn to in the
same way.
] understand that Mr. Norton made his first
debut in financial life as director Of the Live
Stock Insurance. Company of Connecticut, an
agency Of which was al ~ Wall street. Ii seems
that several other officers of this Live Stock In
surance Company were also directors of the State
Bank at Morris. II appears that David Sanaqrson
was director OF this Live Stock Insurance G en-
pany, and also Of the State Bank; and that Wm
Earle was secretary of the live stock concern, and
aso director of the State Bank. This intimate
connection between the officers Of the Live Stock
concern and the State Bank will cause many
persons to draw their own differences as to the
character OF both concerns Ii is certainly great
recommendation to the 1--we Stock Company that
several OF Its directors and managers were also
directors snd managers OF the State Bank at
Morris There is some suspicion Of a similar
connection between the Susquehanna Bank and
the State Bank at Morris. Indeed, 1t is probable
that all these doubtful concerns were put Ia opera
ton by the same class OF men. AS YET, the exact
condition OF the circulation of the said State Bank
is not known to the public. No report has yet
been made, and probably none will be forthcoming
until the trial Of Norton takes place
You remember the explosion of the Pain6eld
Bank, the indictment OF some OF It's managers,
and the requisition of the Governor of New Jersey
upon the Governor of New York for one of the
Beaches, concerned in the affair. This matter,
we understand, is not yet forgotten in the neigh
borhood OF Plainfeld, or other parts Of New
Jersey. The Indictment of Beach, and others, con-
cerned in the Painfeld explosion, stands good
under the laws Of New Jersey for twenty years.
The Governor MAJ call upon the Governor Of New
within that period / understand that there is
disposition to stir IN this affair, and that new
dtmand will be made upon the government for the
Plainheld man, IN due process of time. The for
up Mr. Beach; but it is supposed that Governor
Fish will be influenced by different disposition.
At all events it is the determination of the people
Of New Jersey TO purge the State of bubble COM
panies and bubble iinanclers, as fast possible.
HORRIBLE PIcTURE.-A New York cores
