The BANK OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.

THE BANK OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
We have received the following communica-
ton from n P Langford, Cashier of the above
Bank, which we noted yesterday as having
closed its doors.
To Depositors, Bill-holders and other credi-
itors tthe Bunk Of the State Of Minnesota:
TO protect your interests, in common with
the interests of Stockholders of this Bank, it,
doors were closed this morning, and an as
signment of the money and effects of the
Bank, for the benefit Of creditors, made to A.
G. Langford, Esq.
The immediate occasion of this is the return
of drafts under protest, resulting from thu
failure of Messrs. Sewell, Ferris & Go. of New
York, and the demand by the holders of these
drafts, that they should be provided for at
once.
Duty to other creditors, and especially to
depositors, required that we should decline to
sacrifice their interests to meet this demand
We were thereby exposed to attachment, am
uceincu tile COuISc We HAVE Gdhcil lhe OIly
alternative.
1t is due to the public that we should state
the primary and real cause of our disaster, in.
volving as it does, principle that precludes
the possibility of any Bank of issue sustain
ing itself in this city, while doing legitimate
business, viz: the fact that systematic run
has been made with the bills OF the Bank for
gold and exchange from the day it opened.
This run has been carried on chiefly by two
Banking houses of this city. With an out
standing circulation of the bills of the Bank
of the State and Nicollet County Bank, of but
about Fifty Thousand dollars, these two firms
have run in from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars monthly.
In view of the great scarcity of gold and
eastern exchange that has existed, intelligent
business men will not be- surprised that the
Bank has had to yield to this wanton run. 1t
is only to be regretted that the Bank did not
at the outset abandon the enterprise of ad-
ding capital and money facilities to the bust
ness Of the city.
It's expected that the Stock securities of
the Bank will protect bill-holders. Deposit
ors have been preferred sums less than one
hundred dollars to be paid first. The amount
of deposits is but about nine thousand dol
lars. Depositors who hold drafts of the Bank
are next protected, and lastly, all other cred
itors.
There can be no loss to depostors, and
their speedy payment may be confidently ex-
pected.

An UndOubted Republican Triumph I'm
- in Minnesota!

We have now heard from two-thirds of the
votes of the State. In no county but one have
the Democrats gained on the vote of 1857,
and in only one have the Republicans lost
The tide of revolution has evidently been. run
ming swiftly in every section of the State
Wei | there is no longer any doubt of a
thorct4gh Republican triumph in Minnesota.
Dur Eagle of Victory has been impatient to
fly for day Or two but we have been re-
straining his ardor, until we can do SO no long
er, and we to-day let him spread his pinions
to the breeze, to bear to our Republican
brethren in the States below us the
glad tidings, that MINNESOTA is RE-
PUBLICAN to the core and that Doug
las and every other style Of Democracy are
shamefully routed, horse foot dragons and
Moccasins, in this, the youngest sister of our
Union of Sovereign States.
Our victory is complete Our whole State
ticket is elected by nearly the same majority
as Gov. Ramsey, and our Congressman by
still larger vote.
Three cheers for REPUBLICAN MIME

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. ..
Nearly one hundred passengers that left
New York on board the Quaker City, bound
o Havana, have arrived here. On the 7th,
when fifty miles south of Cape Hatteras, the
engine was broken, causing great excitement
On board. Her boats were manned, provis-
ioned and equipped, in readiness to abandon
he steamer, if found to be necessary. On
The first alarm it was supposed she was leak
ing badly, as ten inches of water was discOv-
cred in her hold. The pumps were manned,
And it was soon discovered that there was no
serious leak. The flag, however, was dis
played Union down, as a signal of distress,
which brought the bark Dumbarton, Capt.
Shadburne, of Boston, from Turks Is
land bound to New York, to the relief of the
passengers.
The passengers were mainly transferred
to the bark, and arrived sa ely in Hampton
Roads last night. Twelve of the passengers
md all the officers of the steamer preferred
remaining on board. She was last seen forty
miles south of Cape Hatteras, near Gulf
Stream. The wind. was light, but the sea
was very heavy.

A private letter from London says that
our Minister, Mr.. Dallas, is excrting imself
to procure recognition of the Mexican Lib

prominent gentlemen are also similarly engag-

Reliable accounts received here from Mon

pleasant difference of opinion, however, ex-
listed between him and Gen. DeGollda, regar-

cream citizen that has gone to fight the
battles of the Liberals. The invitation was
extended to him by Gen. Alvarez some months

AS predicted by me some days since asec-

has been issued by the Administration. A
reply to both ofthese will appear shortly. 1t
is stated here in a well-informed quarter that
the Harpers have received great numbers of
articles pro and con upon the same subject,
but nobody supposes that such practical men
as they, or indeed any other, have borne the
infiction of perusing them. There are few in

who do not believe in the old doctrine of the
right of Congress to control Territorial mat

A letter from NJ. G.. Thompson of Browns
vile, dated on the 18th, received by this NOR

all the precincts in the county except two /;
and those are estimated. The footings up
are, for Becker 722, for Ramsey 66S. Major

lican gain 100, Mr.. Thompson says:
ave are confident we have elected all our
Senators and Representatives, although it is
quite possible that we may lose one Sena-
tor"
In the table sent us we peccive that E. H.
Kennedy, Repub., is certainly elected over
NcRoberts, Dem; but there is tie between
Gluek, Rep, and Streeter, DEM, and it will
take the official returns to determine which of
the two is elected
The three Representatives are undoubtedly
Republican. Well done, Republicans Of Hous-
ton!

In the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies
to-day, the Committee on Canons reported add
versely to amending Art. of the Consttu-
ton, to locate the Convention permanently at
Philadelphia. The same Committee also re-
ported that Canons Nos and 2, of 1888,
not repealed by the action of the last Con-
ventiOn.
The order of the day, the proposed amend
ment to Art. 8 of the Constitution, was taken
up and long debate ensued. No action was
taken.
The following is the proposed amendment
to Article 81 Whenever General Conven-

shall form a separate House, with the ri.ht to
originate and propose acts for the concurrence
Of the House of Deputies, and all acts must
pass both Houses.

looked by the Mercantile community. We refer
to the return of one of the members of the whole

the country trade. Merchants from the interior
have unanimously "elected" this house as the

doing such an extensive business of that sort
They are popular candidates for trade.

Reported Maiorities for Governor.

Ramsey is now Ahead 1885, His Gain
over 1857, Is already, 274S!
In the balance of the State, yet to be
heard from, Ramsey had, in 1857, majority
300, including in the estimate, the "Cass, Todd
and Pembina" forged majorities for Sibley.
Without these forgeries being counted, Ram
sey's majority in the counties to hear from in
1857, was 1000.
We think we are safe, therefore, in claim
ing his election and that of the whole Repub-
lican State Ticket, by at least 5000 majority.
Is not this most glorious result?
