ANOTHER BANK CLOSED.


Between eleven and twelve o'clock to-
day the German Savings Institution,
Madison street, closed doors. 1t sus-
tanned a heavy run yesterday, during
which the bulk Of the deposits was
drawn out. Currency has been expected,
but detained in consequences OF the rail-
way irregularities which, during the past
few days, have compelled nearly all the
other banks to curtail sales Of exchange.
After eleven o'clock to-day no more
checks could be paid, and the doors were
necessarily closed. We subjoin the card
of the cashier, Mr.. Fred. L. Warner:

EDIToRs LEDGER: / shall place my
name before the Conservative Conven-
ton of the l4th Inst. as candidate for
the office of County Commissioner.
The Legislature, as / think, has very
unwisely created the Board of Commits
sioners, making it an expense to the
county of perhaps some twenty thousand
dollars annually an expense that was
unnecessary under the old system-a
system which, if properly conducted by
the magistrates of the county, would be
much more satisfactory to the people, and
cost the county comparatively nothing
But now desire the office as created,
and if nominated and elected, shall do
what can to reduce the expenses OF the
county, and oppose all appropriations OF
whatever kind that are not actually ne
cessary for the welfare and prosperity of
the same. An experience of fifteen years
as county officer warrants me in feel
ing competent to discharge the duties OF
said Office. But desire to do all can
to harmonic and concentrate the Con-
servative strength, and shall cheerfully
abide the action of the Convention, and
shall give the nomiRee, should it not be
myself, my most cordial support.
