HE New BANK.-We do not ex.
actly know how many subscribers Mr.. Al.
word has procured for the bank whose es
tablishment he has projected, but we are
we'll assured that their number does not
exceed thirty-five. He may exceed in per-
suading fifty men to put their names to his
subscription paper ,bu. We doubt it though
after submitting for ten long months to the
impositons of Cook d Sargent, it is impossi-
BILE to tell what the people Of Davenport
may not do. Supposing that every one of
the fifty is prepared to pay over the thou
sand dollars fer which his subscription
calls. We might shortly have bank with a
capital of forty-five thousand dollars. 1--WE
dednct 10 per cent. in accordance with the
provisions of the Bank Law Nothing less
than q hundred thousand dollar ba nix how
ever, will suit Mr.. Alvord, and we have
therefore some curiosity to hear him ex-
plain in what manner he proposes to raise
the balance of the capital. Mr. Alvord is
too we'll acquainted with the business men
not to know that it is idle to talk of one
hundred Of them taking, each a thousand
dollars from his business. The thing is i'm.
possible and We have too much respect for
Mr.. Alvord's judgement to believe he is sin.
cere when he talks Of getting up hundred
thousand dollar bank among our merchants.
We have suspected all along that Cook &
SARGENT were "the niggers in this bank
woodpile," and future events will doubtless
verify our suspicious.
There is rumor afoat that, few days
ago Mr.. Jno P. Cook, (vulgarly called Old
Cedar) proposed to Mr.. Alvord to take
twenty thousand dollars worth of stock in
the new bank and offered to give bonds that
neither he nor Eb. nor Sargent would seek
to control it, or ask for any office Rumor
further says that Mr. Alvord declined the
proposition.
We may be mistaken, but our belief is
that Mr. Alvord tells that story as a 'feeler'
lie wants to ascertain how those interested
80 WV o~"n WOusu Ocluk sOIu OuL
body, soul and breeches, to shinplaster f.
nanciering. We digress, by way OF episode,
to compliment on the gentleman on his sa
gacity in declining to be an officer of the
bank. He could work much more sue
cessfully though puppets in the Board ofDi-
rectors. (Sears would be capital one.)
We think there is no doubt but that Cook
" Sargent are to step in and take the vir-
tual management of this bank. After Mr..
Alvord has succe eded in "roping in" fifty
subscribers, he will find it impossible to get
any more, and advise the acceptance of
MIR. Cooks proposition. "The Bank" will
then graciously condescend to take a few
shares off the heads of those subscribers who
are not able and never intended to keep
them-and thus the Bank of Davenport
will be theirs as completely as is the broken
Bank of Florence.
Though we are neither prophet nor the
son Of prophet, we are willing to stake
our reputation for sagacity ON the truth of
the foregoing prediction.

ton was granted. The prisoner expressed
desire TO have the trial here and seemed
much averse to being taken back to John
con county on account Of the expense, but
when told that it would cost him nothing,
he said no more II seems that he has been
residing but short time at Iowa City, and
induced his present wife, Matilda Rasmussen
twho is a pretty, blooming girl Of II or Is,
quite intelligent but unsophisticated,) to
marry him by representing that he had
money on deposit at Chicago. and owned
considerable land in this State.
-Four days after the wedding, he proposed
to marry widow lady in the same place,
representing himself to her, also, as in pos
session OF considerable wealth. and actually
pretending. to deed piece of land to one Of
her little girls. by which he obtained q small
amount Of her as he said to pay the legal
ices. Wien the circumstance Of his previ-
ous mArEirEe became known. . friend of
the last mentioned lady Kicked him out Of
her house, and some OF the indignant citi-
zens OF the place threatened to lynch him if
he did not leave in "a hours Accordingly
on Monday morning last, with his new Dan
ish bride, he came to this place and put up
at the Ogilvie House. During the week he
visited several stores and bought goods to
different amounts varying from twelve to
forty dollars, promisin G to call at a fixed
time for his purchases. He stated at one
store that he owned farm in this vicinity
at another that he was q merchant Of
Washington, DC He also visited the livery
stables, pretending that he wanted to buy a
good horse and buggy. and asked permis-
sion to drive several out for trial, but was
suspected and watched too closely to steal
an outfit, If he had any such design.
Yesterday afternoon the distressed father
of the young woman, having ascertained BY
letter from her that she was in this city,
came here for the purpose of bring the scoan-
drel to justice and rescuing his daughter
from her degraded condition He found
but little difficulty in persuading her to sec
ond his endeavors, for she had not previous

cept'on Of which she had been the victim

Of age. He processes to hail from New |
\ ork, and says he has a brother at Rock |
Island. He seemed to be completely |
strapped" and refused to leave his watch |
for his hotel bill, as he said it belonged to
his brother.
