peatedly stated that the dispatch of August

Tue Farmers, and Citizens, Banks,
A deputation OF officers and directors OF
the Farmers and Citizens National Bank
of Brooklyn, consisting of Oren NJ. Beach
President. Smith Sheldon, S. NJ. Baird and
others, are here endeavoring to induce the
| Comptroller of the Currency to restore the
Bank to its managers, on the ground tha,
| it is public benefit, and they offer, as di-
| rectOrS, to guarantee the Indebtedness oI
the Bank tn certain sums amounting tC
over 100000, If the request is complied
with. There is great doubt if the Comp
troller has power under the law to suspend
proceedings after they are once begun, and
the application of the parties is suspended
pending legal opinion on this point.

be informed that settlement of these claims
have become urgently necessary to the re-
establishment entirely of friendly relations
/ between the United States and Great Brit
ain. The hostile course of the latter
country during the rebellion is contrasted
with the action of the United States Gov
ernment toward the Fenian invasion o.
Canada in the following words: -- -
There we have seen various British war
like expeditions against the United States
practically allowed and tolerated by Hei
Majesty's Government, Notwithstanding
remonstrance, and we have, seen since thai
unlawful attacks in this country againsl
Great Britain disallowed and defeated by
the direct and unprompted action of thu
United States" .7.aEl $40
