A BANK GONE UP.


The Tompkins county, N. Y. Sentinel comes to US
with along account Of the failure OF the Bank OF Tru
mansburg. Some time IN February last persons who
had money In the bank experienced difficulty IN get
ting It, Suits were commenced, which Asa B. Clark,
the President succeeded in getting discontinued. On
the 18th inst. concealment OF the unsound condi-
ton OF the bank was no longer possible and at that
time the Receiver, previously appointed, laid before
meeting OF the creditors statement. BY this state
ment in substance was conveyed the fact that Clark
(Presdcnp, bought gold to the amount OF $27 O0O aJ
t0rty-nine cents premium, and bought over $4,000
Tor carrying gold interest from five to seven per
cent. Brokers commission from one-eighth to one
quarter per cent The bank lost by the depreciation
IN gold over $4,000. Many poor people who were
depositors are robbed or all they had. From
statement OF account obtained from the American
chases OF gold. 1t Is found that Ozark
made loans Of thar bank, as foows:-No-
May 20, 1870. $4,000: June /, 1870. $4,000. This
makes sl15, 400 loans through that one New YORK
bank since the last OF 1888 From the figures in pos
fought tie tiger OF god to the extent OF some
sl4sooo. The speculatons In gold began some Tune
inst. 1t Was found that the Liabilities OF the bank
probably s52 ocO. All the claims were not
iound which were not upon the books OF the bank
Against these liabilities IL the banking house ana
lot and fixtures ana .d small amount OF cur.
Ones and other Insignificant property, which,
after all Is adjusted and expenses paid, may amount
to $4,000. Says the Sen,tnel:-lt will be seen from
this statement carefully made from all the facts we
have access TO, that tins man Clark, who has been
considered upright and honest, has deliberately IN
duged In gold gambling with money which he had
no moral right to use-money hard earned and be-
longing to men and women who can lily afford to
lose it. This money Is lost, with prospect OF re-
payment The reports OF the condition OF the bank,
as published in our paper for the last five years, do
not bear the same look as when viewed without the
light OF recent developments. Among those who
have been friends OF Mr. Clark to-day there are few
who will owntO being such.

we do not hesitate to say that the question
ar,H be, did you vote for the iundlng
bill?' and good many other questions IN
regard to Virginia legislation. ana then
we shall ask, are you ConserVatiVc! khu
are you opposed to Radicaiism ana carpet
bag rule!
nor do we desire that these questions OF
state noJicv shall he brought before the
Con scryatiyc Convention. Not at all. The
nennle will discuss and decide them for
themselves. ,.s
We do not suppose there will be any diff
ficulty in finding plenty of men who are
entirely sound upon the great questions of
national politics, and who at the same time
will be found equally so upon the no less
important issues involved in the legislation
OF our State"
The following paragraphs from the Regis
ter indicate the drift OF public opinion In
Rockingham:
"WHAr WE NEED.-We need repeal OF
the twclve-per cent. law.
We need an entire change in the reglstra-

A CAROLINE COUNTY MAN SwINDLED.-
from the Wheeling lntelhgenceT, ID. J.
Another slight confidence game was played
Yesterday morning at the Baltimore and
ohio depot. Two countrymcn presented
themselves at the ticket. office and provided
themselves with ricketts, to Il station in Car
olnc county, Va. AS they turned from
the window they were acco>ted by stran-
ger, who had evidently heard the CONVEX
satlOn between the agent and them, and
the sharper politely informed his new
made acquaintanccs that he hailed from
that rcgion-hai his family ut the heim
House, and was on the eve OF returning to
his home in Caroline. He invited them
to this hotel, and, arriving there, request
ed their assistance in getting his baggage
to the depot. Just then il occurred
Ito him that he had forgotten TO settle
his bill, and calling aside one Of his re-
cently-tnund friends, he asked the loan Of
twenty dollars to liqudate charges for board
ana lodging-he would make il all right
when all were safely on board the train.
Receiving NN grecnback, sharper passed
around the corner to the office for the pur-
pose. Is he said, of discharging his liabili-
lies Ia the proprietor, leaving the Virginia.
bound gentleman standing in the ball door
on the south front. lie remained there suf-

ling companion returned not. Finally, he
to the depot, as the time for the de-
parture of the train was getting quite near.
Informing the agent Of the little episode,
t hat official gave him his opinion. of the tel
lows character, and advised him to call in
the aid of Il police officer. The countryman
was iucreduluus-hs friend would yet re-
turn. The gong gave the signal ana the
train dashed out of the depot, leaving him
and his real compagnon du uoyage standing
on the platform. Realizing then, appa-
rently, for the first time, that the HeaIheh
Chince is not alone In '.ways that are DARK
and tricks that are vain,"' he sought the
assistance Of IN officer to discover, Il posi-,
nle. the confidence operator. Down 10 a
late hour last night no clue to the rascaPs
identity or Whereabouts had been discover,
ed. We guess that twenty may be entered
on the loss side of the ledger.

ANDREW JoHNsoN's DESCRIPTION OF
GRAsr.-To a Tribune reporter eX-Presi-
dent johnson, few days ago, said:
"Grant is wanting in integrity, wanting
i'm intelligence, and wanting in the will to
promote the good of the country. The lit
lie fellow is Selfish and avariciOus beyond
bounds. His cupidity knows no limit. He
is no statesman and no soldier. He never
displayed any generalship. He marched at
the head-no, not at the head, but In the
rcar-of an immense column OF men that
would have accomplished the same results
if he had been in the moon. Grant was
mere unimportant incident. He never
showed spark of genius. What inspiring
remark did he ever make that cheered his
soldiers and helped to win q victory? When
did he ever put himself in danger, like Ma
poleon at the bridge of Lodi, to give cour-
age TO his troops! He never showed sim
gle trait of generalshlp. He had no SYM
patty with his men he never visited the
hospitals or showed anv feeling for the SUIT
tering wounded. He was utterly remorse-
less. He was no leader. He had no plans
and no strategy. j repeat, that for any
good he did in putting dawn the rebellion
he might as well have been in the moon"
