Clinton Bank of Columbus.

There were rumors about the close of
Bank hours yesterday, to the prejudice
OF this Bank, and the notes were refused
by some Of the Bankers on deposite.-
We cannot learn that any dispatches
were received in relation to it--indeed
we think there was no:--and the rumors
are probably arepetition of some which
are alluded to in the following paragraph
from the Columbus Slatesman-a paper
not particularly partial to banks OF any
kind:
"Rumors are in circulation that tae
CIinton Bank of Columbus has failed,
and we understand that certain parties
are induslriously using every means to
discredil her notes, and disseminate dis
trust against her throughout The business
community.
"These rumors are all without foun-
dation. The Bank has the entire conf
dence of this community, as to her per-
feet solvency, and those who ought to be
best acquainted with her affairs here, are
most anxious to obtain notes. She has
never been stronger than at present.
"These rumors are undoubtedly put
in circulation by brokers and other in
terested parties, who hope TO buy up the
notes of the Bank. a, deprecated rates,
knowing them 10 be good at the counter
Of the bank TO any amount. Farmers
and business men at distance should
not be induced TO suffer loss by any such
Stories"
With this information, holders of the
notes should resist any attempt of the
brokers 10 sha We the notes of this Bank

The result of the WING victory ian
New York.

The Albany Register says tina, two or
three great questions are settled by the
recent triumph of: the Wing party in
New York:
lsL The policy is settled. The Con.
slituiion is to be amended, and the En-
largement is to be FASTENED forward.
End. That there is TO be reform in
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors; TEN.
perance law of some kind is to be onac-
led, and an earnest effort made to stay
the progress of the most gigantic evil
that darkens around human destiny.
That The reform may be wisel y and yet
firmly entered upon, should be the hope
of every patiotic citizen.
Sd. We think the Administration will
learn that i, is settled that the Executive
can not, if he tries ever so hard, if he
threatens ever so lisrcely, come down
from his high position and control the
internal policy of local politics OF a
State. ThattEe people do not like any
such interference, and moreover, will not
permit il.

Melancholy Death Of Il. III. War


A most distressing accident occurred on
our streets yesterday, resulting in the
death of \, III. Warren, of the firm of
Francis, Walton 81 Warren, Of St. Loai1.
About ten o'clock in the morning, Mr..
Warren, in Company with Mr.. Wilson
of our place, was riding out Main Street
in buggy; Us they reached The end Of
the street, they saw another horse ami
buggy coming towards them, at full
speed. Mr.. Wilson reiuedotf the road,
and Mr.. Warren, fearing TIA. the buggy
would upset in crossing the gutter, jump
ed out, aud jus. as he reached the ground
the other horse plunged of the track
right over him, smashing the two bug
gies.
Mr.. Warren was picked up apparently
dead, he revived however in few min
utes and was able to speak but the injn-
ries sustained by him, proved fatal in the
space of couple of hours after The
accident.
Mr. Cave and Mr.. Fulton were the oc-
cupanis o! the other buggy, and their
horse was running away, mad with
fright, and utterly beyond control, Mr..
Fulton was thrown out and slightly in
jured by the fall, the others escaped IN.

I'LL dsGS.

The first sale or contract of any note
in this market, this season, took place
yesterday. An engagement was made
by city packer for 1900 head Missouri
fed to be delivered before The Goth oil
January. at the following rates--all I'M
der $50 lbs, 50 rs, and all above that
weight 81 net.
AS we stated yesterday, packers are
in the market for No. at 81, delivered
this month; but as yet we have ascer
tanned no sales that can be considered
criterion for early delivery. One
packing establishment has between s.
900 and 5000 contracted for, including
the 1900 purchased yesterday. The
remainder were bought several weeks
since, a portion 10 be delivered here, and
the balance on the Missouri river
These hogs cos. on an average from SO
rs TO SO ST., but they cannot be con
sidered strictly No. |, as they are all
MissoL.i fed, and hogs fattened in this
State do not turn on! as well in weight
and quality as Illinois or Iowa fed. We
think there is very little doubt about the
market for No. | opening at 81, or a
shade above; at all events they can be
sold now for early delivery al 81.
We are inclined to believe that SO %
TO SO rs will be the range on the Hi.
nois and Upper Mississippi, and 81 to
"a 20 In this city at the start, should no
excitement spring up and knock such a
calculation into the middle OF next
week, or year.
City packers are now willing and
ready TO contract for No. l hogs at 81,
delivered This month. So all you that
want to make quick sales bring on your
hogs st. Louis Intel.

Fire mt Council Bluff.

A dispatch was received yesterday
from St. Joseph, Mo-, announcing Sc
rious fire at Council Bluff, on Friday
night last. The store of Toote d jack
son was entirely destroyed, together
with several adjoining buildings. The
particulars are no, known. The loss Of
Too,e e. Jackson amounted probably
to three times the amount insured. They
had forwarded the policies for renewal
to this city, by the Ell Paso, and it turns
out that they expire this day. the 18th.
The amount insured was only $4,000;
$4,000 in the Millers' g. Manufacturers,
and $4,000 in the Floating Dock.
Messrs. b. r. Pegram e. Co occupied
the premises adjoining, and they were
most probabl" sufferers, though the dis
patch does not say so.-Mo. Republican.

" IVY tus
A meeting of the National Democrats
was held last night. .- ....
Cornelius w. Wendell offered .esolu-
tons declaring that the nomination and
election of General Pierce was in con-
sequence of his unmistakable national
anlecedents and known opposition to the
persons and conduct of those who de-
clared for General Cass, in 1913, by
voting for Van Buren,; that The meeting
does not regard the Baltimore platform
as general amnesty TO such; that the
attempt by the departments to crush
National Democracy in New York,
deserves The immediate attention and
correction of the President --dehouncing
Guthrie's interference in New York, and
congratuiates the New Workers on their
sigaal victory over the Freesoilers--
deprecates the recent attacks on Dickin-
son & Co. ..-
The resolutions having been read,
Daniel S. Ra,rliffe took the platform,
and made an able speech against the
resolutions, regarding them as thrust at
the administration.
Mr.. Wendell replied with excitement
tina, he was instrumental in calling this
meeting, and defended the resolutions.
The question on the resolutions was
then called for. ..
MIR. Radcliffe reminded the gentleman
that there was an attack on the Admin
islralion. Mr.. Wendell denied it..
Great excitement prevailed, and the dis
order reached almost to blows. Some
body moved the indefinite post ponemen,
OF tue esolutions-another wanted TO
offer substitute: before the question
was distinctly put, VIM. II. Thomas,
Deputy Collector of this port, sprang
upon the platform and moved an adjourn
ment, before doing which, he proposed
three cheers fer the Administration,
which being heartily given, Wallack,
the chairman, struck Radcliffe, knocking
him from the platform. A general melee
ensued, lasting some minutes. No very
serious bruises, however, we're given,
during which the meeting broke up.
