40l ~ were deposited there and not paid till

we are not mistaken, Mr.. Sill had ceased to be
in office Among the S33,4OI ~ was draft
for $4,000, being, doubtless, the identical
draft, the proceeds of which were paid to Bres
lin as tho final balance due from the Sinking
Fund
We hope to have brought forward in this
report those general and special facts which are
called for by the inquiry which we have quoted
at the commencement Of it.
The Bank was, by the very provisions of law,
brought into contact with the State officers, es
pecially the Treasurer of State, and its mana
gers were not slow to use the chance thrown in
their way, of using the public officers for its pur
pose in every possible form, and it furnishes an
additional lesson in favor of the opinion of N.
Biddle, expressed by him, after his connection
with the Government of the United StateJ had
ceased, and after previous experience for 20
years, that it is a connection "benefcisl to nel-
ther party and injurious to both"
What is, summing 1t all up, the result of this
Bank 1t is child of false monetary theory,
and some five or six admittedly able men, have
devoted ten years of their life to grow rich up.
on it. And yet all of them are wrecked in purse
and reputation. We speak here ofthe actualman-
ayers of the concern. What vast amount of
toll and labor, of misery and degradation, and
all because credit was attempted to be made
money, thus giving it a most dangerous form,
under the guise of which it devoured the pro
ceeds of industry. Near $4,000 has been d.
vided by the Bank among its stockholders, and
a sum equal to this has been spent for officers
and expenses, ,and some 500, 900 have been lost
to depOsitors and note holders, making total
loss of S20G,000 These are the injuries of such
banking. Where are its benefits
The people seem imPotent and helpless as
against the plotting financier, and yet as in the
bank before US, we see that it Is beyond the
power of man to counteract the eternal laws of
right, and that while the cashiers of banks plot,
causes are at work, which at last overthrow him
and leave him and his bantling pitiful waif
upon the waves Of commerce, whose regular
and beneficial action, he has wickedly disturbed.
P. S.-Since the above was written, Mr.. Nc
Millen has sent in his affidavit, which directly
eOntradicts Breslin's statement as to the over
issue.
We have already in that part of this report,
which relates to the official accounts and trans
actions and conduct of Breslin referred to this
matter, and deem it necessary to revert to it
here. -

CLEVELAND. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH II. 1859

transactions ever took place. Every dollar Of
State Stock deposited for circulation, except
the Sill stocks as collateral to loans to the State
was paid for from the general means of the bank,
and these came, as already fully explained
from depositoTs and creditors, and not from
stockholders. So far from stockholders fur
nishing stock in addition to their capital stock,
they did not, as previously set forth, pay any
thing on the capital stock ITSELF
This item is therefore mere fictitious ledger
title, and must have been intended TO deceive,
as it lid deceive Mr.. Wood, and also, as they
most positively aver, Messrs. johnson, Hewitt
and McNillen. This account was used to get
the $4,000 of public stocks from Mr. Wood in
exchange for this bogus stock. The most i'm
portant use, or rather most fagrant abuse of
this fictitious stock was made in the settlement
between the bank and Joseph s. Lake. The
latter owed $Is0,0O0, speaking in round num-
bers, and he paid the bank $50 600 in regular
capital stock, though we would again remind
the reader that even this stock never before,
nor did it then represent anything. except the
Indebtedness of the Eastern Banker of the bank,
and so far as it reduced Joseph s. Lakes in
debtedness, was quid pro quo; $50, 900 of the
bogus stock above spoken of; S25, ,090, stock Of
the Akron Branch (McMillen's Bank,) since
us
of Toledo, Mathew Johnson's bank. also Stree
failed; $50, 900 in lands near Toledo, which
have proved worthless, the Board of Control
having prior lien, entirely defeating all re-
ceipts the Canal Bank can ever expect. Thus
$3.50, 900 of the banks property was as fully
lost and dissolved, as ifit had been sunk in
Lake.
Matthew johnson claims to have paid $50,
900 actual cash upon the $50, 600 of stock he
took 'to reconcile differences" between his old
comrade Lake and the Bank, and we chronicle
the fact to his honor, as being the first and only
stockholder tia ba-k ever had that paid any
considerable 1.,CT ut on his stock, and what is
stranger still only one that received no
dividend, alwIj excepting poor, victimized
Wood.
The bank = =. re, under the johnson, Me-
Aiillen, Heg .csuscitation, had moro real
Capital tha e ier before, and had the other Lake
assets not been valueless, and had not the bank
had other uncollectable assets, and had McMil-
len & Hewitt fulfilled their quota of payments,
then the bank might have commenced new
career, with better prospects of success, than
ever before. McMillen, however, preferred to
financier, rather than pay. The Lake assets
were mere waste paper, and the Banks own as
sets were, as have since been proved, entirely
unavailable, for some 100000 remain uncOl-
lected on various pretenses and for various caus-
es, and Hewitt failed to carry out the program
me arranged for and accepted by him, and the
bank Ultimately failed November 9, 1854, be-
cause the managers had no confidence left that
the public confidence could be abused any fur

The Canal Bank of Cleveland was organized

the condition of the Canal Bank of Cleveland
