radicoo OF the facts stated but rssrats the charges
made against these institutions and but for tho evidence
being In the possession OF the hanks nams3 could prove
more than have yet made public. In regard to the
Bank OF the State OF New York. the actual amount de-
acent is much larger than reported The gentleman
professional accountant employed by the bank to nves
tgate the accounts, has already found de-
fcsncy much greater than Ahat announced and
what the result will be time only will de-
termne The Hanover Bank de- ciep cy amounts to twenty
eight thousand dollars and the internal asirs OF that
bank have been horribly msmauaged, that up to this
moment has been able willing to tell how 1t o.
cured When ssch things appear the public should not
be surprised at thing Both of these institutions have
been compelled to call in outside professional aid to tell
the president and cashier not only how the deficiency was
brought about but the extent Of it. We shsua Judge

against the parties implicated may be considered
good by those bank officers who stoutly assert
that there not the least coloring for the report
They hare undoubtedly availed themselves of every
bubble to satisfy their conscences in making the
contradiction. This is not in the sharp practice Of

The Manhattan Bank contradcted every current
relative to the defacatons in that institution
few years since The New York Life and Trust Company
and the National Insurance Company, did the same.
The Butchers and Drovers Bank and the Bowsry Bank
did the same, and what the result The officers OF
each Of the concerns above mentioned were at the
time highly Indignant that it should be even
suspected there was anything wrong In their internal
affairs. We all know what followed. The Leather Manu-.

they bad been counting, hand in their vaults

been stoen and few weeks since defacaton or q de-
