JACOB BARRIERS FAILURE.
The FIRST National Bank Anair--The
DeTaieatiOn An t0es Treasury Onhee-

Jacob Barker's failure is considered a
yery bad one. Great dissatisfaction exists
that no official statement of the affairs Of
the First national bank has been made
by the examiner, Mr.. Knox, who has
now had the institution in charge twelve
days. The following is its condition
Liabilities, 81, 10000 assets, 200, 900
one-third Of the assets are considered
good. The liabilities will be increased
S4OO, 600, that being the amount Of the
certified checks Of the bank which the
treasury held, and which were
taken up by draft Of L. P. May & Co.
and Oskes Ames, but which were not
forwarded for collection. T. p. M9y &
Co. represent May and A. s. Mansfield,
a private banking firm, just about start
ing. The principal debtors Of the bank
are f: Gen. Beauregard by note, $40, 600,
and over drafts amounting to $4,000
Gen. Dick Taylor, SS7, 900; Gen. Harry
Hays, $50, 600; Gen. +. J. Heron, United
States marshal, directly aud indirectly,
over 500, 600; Col. ]. g. Nixon, of the
New Orleans Crescent, $50, 900; Gen.
Wade Hampton, Cuthbert, Bullitt, Wal
ton, Deslorde and others. These have
generally indOrsed for each other. Over
$500. goo Of the funds of the United States
court were in the bank.
The defalcation in the treasury is over
a million. Whittaker's bondsmen are
Gen. F. J. Heron, United States mar
shal, T. P. May, and A. S. Mansfield,
each for so, 600; Robert Watson and A.
7. Jones for S25, 900. T. p. May, late as
sistant treasurer and president OF the
bank, has been arrested and held for the
same amount. The appointment Of JnO.
s. Walton as assistant treasurer gives
general satisfaction. He is an old eiti-
zen.-NstO York Tribune, 24tb.
The state Of New York this year
paws in taxes twice the amount it cost
to administer the government OF the
United States for the eight years Thos.
Jefferson was president.

TIE CoLoRED SCHOOLS IN BALTIMoRE.-The
question OF support of the colored schools is
troubling the municipal authorities Of Balti-
more, as well as Il Ose Of Washington. At the
regular meeting of the Board Of Public School
Commissioners, held in that city last evening,
the Committee on Accounts reported bills 10 the
amount Of 1897 go. incurred by the former
board, and which had been found to be correct
Among the items were several for ground rent
and repairs TO colored schools. A resolution
was appended TO tie report by the chairman
recommending the payment of the bills. In
answer to an inquiry from one of the mem
bers, the president stated that he had signed
the pay roll having on IL the names OF teachers
OF colored schools, as well as those OF ether
schools, concsiving that, by ordinance of the
Mayor and City Council, ssid schools had
been established. Noaction had been take to
repeal the ordinance, and he had signed the
paw rolls. Mr. Cowan referred TO these schools
ss having been esta blished by the Freedmen S
Bureau, and as beng kindly taken in charge
by the last Cour Gil. which, though not wish
ing 10 speak harshly, he characterized as an
oct Of gratuiiy and stretch OF authority un war
rantable. TIE schools were not estabiis he a
uucer the GLt hOrity of The state or city, or by
the Public School Board. but by the Freed.
mems Bureau, the teachers being imported
Ii was done b. the United States. who, finding
IT convenient 10 lei them go. ind uced the CITY
authorities TO accept them. The resoiu ION 70
pay tie bill was finally adopted.
