~ Gen, Lewis Cass died at his resi-
dence in Detroit, on Sunday morning last
He was So years of age. The General had
a large share in the transactions which have
made our history for the last sixty years men,
orable. He was born in Exeter, N. H., in
1882, studied law and emigrated 10 Ohio In
1902 where he served in the Legislature and
flied various other Offices of Importance un-
til the breaking out of the last war with
Great Britain, when he obtained position
in the army and served with distinction. In
1913 he was appointed civil Governor OF
Michigan, and from that time down to his
retirement from Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet I'LL
ed successfully the Offices of Governor OF
Michigan, Secretary of War, U. s. Senator,
Minister to France and other positions OF
Importance and honor In lS4S he was the
nominee of the Democratic party for the Presl-
dcncy, but, as our readers will remember,
was defeated by the disaffection of the Barn
| Burners, under the lead of Martin Van Bu-
ren. Gen. Cass was held in high esteem by
men ofall parties, No one ever doubted
the infexbility of his patriotism, however
great the difference IN political sentiment
His last public act was to protest against the
policy of Buchanan at the commencement oi
the rebellion, and to withdraw from his cab
| met when he discovered that his influence
could not secure the prompt action OF the
administration against rebels and their re.
bellion.

The Banks of the Oil Regions.

HARRISBURG, Penn, June l6, 1866.
The officers of the Petroleum Bank,
Titusville, Crawford County, and the
Venango County, have employed counsel
in this city for the purpose of bringing
ex- Auditor General Isaac Slenker, and
through him against the State of Pennsyl
vania, for the recovery Of million and
quarter of United States securities de-
posted with the Auditor General as Sc
curity for circulating medium by these
banks. The facts as they stand in official
circles are these: The firm of Culver,
Penn 4 Co. were in the habit of taking
notes of the Venango and Petroleum
Banks for cancellation at the Auditor
Generals Office, where they received a
| like amount in bonds for that which they
presented in notes. 1t is alleged that the
parties thus redeeming these bonds were
neither agents nor officers of the banks,
and that the bonds instead Of being sent
to the officers of said banks were taken to
New York and hypothecated by Culver,
Penn & Co.
Senator Hoge, from the Eeuango Dis
trict, who institutes this suit, alleges that
this was done without the authority of the
banks, and that it was embezzlement for
which the Auditor General or State is res
ponsble.
Warrants have been issued, and officers
are now in Venango County to arrest the
parties implicated in this transaction
The ex-Auditor- General has given bonds
in $4,000
Auditor General Hartranpt has appoin-
ted II. Clay Allcman, f G. Williams,
and L. j. Jordan, commission to pro-
ceed to Vcnango County, to examine into
the afrirs of the Venaugo County Bank,
connected, with which, as is alleged in
the official paper creating this committee,
evidence of fraud exists. 1t is supposed
that the. necessity of creating this com
mittee grew out of the bond transaction
referred to in this dispatch.
