We bsvs obtained from WatettOwa, JefferSOl
Co. documents proving conduct on the par. OF
Mr.. ID b. st John Superintendent of the B,nk
Department Of our State, which seems TO u' a
very gross betrayal OF his official trust. We de-
sire however that 70 one should adopt our COO

am give bis own judgment thereon.
When the Excelsior Bank at Meridian was

Bank IT WatertoWn deiired TO procure part Of
the stocks given as security for the Excelsior,
aud 10 have those stocks transferred to their new

transfers. are allowed BY law under certain c)u-
ditioDs, which require that at least ninety per
e,nt of the notes Issued by the bank closing
business shsA have been redeemed; when II at
Is dcne, the Superintendent may receive cash for
the amount of notes still outstanding, aud either
return the stocks deposited with him to the pro-
prie,ort, or trsDsier them to the credit Of some
other bank as msy be desired Now when (Aug.

OF the Excelsior Bark the latter, instead ofhavDg
already redeemed 80 per cent. of its circulation,
fsd not redeemed ore than about Sirty per cent.
OF it, indeed, Oh the ls. Dec following, or shree
mouths and 3 bali subsequent to this transaction,
the Excelsior Bssk, though il had been redeem
ing potes all the time, still had outstanding
$4,000 out Of $50, $40. Thus, even at this later
period, any transfer of its stocks must have
been n entire aud fragrant violation of the Law
on ,he part OF the Superinte ldeDt; and of course
was much more so at the time when the transfer
actually took place.
But this lie by DO means the whole story, nor
tie worst of il. If in transferring the stocks
of the Excelsior to the Union Bank the Super
int Ddtnt had received specie for the amount,
though the transaction would have been Illegal,
and would have exposed hin to impeachment the
billbolders would, az least, have been secure.
But, instead Of specie, or its equivalent, what
was it that he took WY, simply a certificate
Of depO,u IN this same UHiDn Bank, aud 4 cersii-
cate, too, made bttore that Bunk rGs organized!
On this bead the following statements leave no
possibility Of denial:
