Yesterday morning, a check Of Johnson Bros
& Co.. bankers, No. l9s Baltimore street, for
S2iOO was presented at the Commercial and
Farmers Bank but Mr.. Nonus, the teller, sus-
pccting the signatures to be forgery, declined
payment until the party presenting it was identi-
fed. The man left the bank, of course, and did
not return.
forged check Of james II. Cox banker corner
of North and Baltimore streets, on the Chesa-
peake Bank, for $40, was also presented yoster-
day, and paid before the forgery was discovered.
Afterwards a second check of the same party,
for about $1,000, was presented at the Chesapeake
Bank, and payment refused only on the ground
that the drawer had not funds in the bank at the
time sufficient to meet it at the time of prcsen-
tation.
The party was not suspected. Messrs. Lawra-
son & Smiths check for about S2iOO was also
presented at the Bank Of Commerce, and paid. 1t
also proved to be a forgery. The mau who pre-
sentcd these forged checks is reported being Of
medium size, about thrty-fye years Of age, well
dressed and OF genteel appearance.
The barque MOHadnock, one OF the first vessels
of her class, owned by Thomas White & Co., of
Baltimore, was burned at sea by the Florida, on
the Sth September.
1t is now evident, from the Union gains, that
Marya will give Lincoln about six thousand
majority. Thomas Swami is elected Governor
We have large majority in the House Of Dele
gates, but the Democrats will have one or two
majority in the State Senate. We elect three out
of five Union Congressman, and most o the other
State officers. The result altogether is glorious,
and causes great rejoicing.
[sECOND DESPATCH
The same bank forgers mentioned in my first
despatch also got $1,000 from the Western Bank
and S4400 from the Union Bank. The sigma
lures were SO perfect that those on whom they
were forged could scarcely detect them. The
forgery reaches nearly $4,000, which they
obtained.
