the matter, that the duties of the office OF
Bank Examiner, are being performed by a
gentleman who has no more legal authority to
assume the position than Andy johnson

of the Presidency. Mr.. Philbrick, who is now
acting as Examiner, has, since his appoint

fact is now Senator from Somerset county.

GREELEY clubs have not been cheerful
places from the start and since September
they have been mistaken for small-sized-
very small-funerals. Nevertheless Gen.
Cochrane and other leaders, it is said, have
prepared a series of Mr.. Greeley's stump
harangues "to be appropriately read aloud at
all meetings of clubs and local organizations"
We have heard ola refined cruelty but this is
positively barbarous. However the humane
will be relieved when they remember how few
frequent these solemn places.

J.ALoUsY.-The Belfast Journal gives the
following case which came before the Police
Court of that city:
On Monday evening two young men who ex-
ercise the calling of selling goods by sample,
Frank S. Edminster and Frank S. Edwards, fell
in with couple of attractive young girls and
proceeded with them to a quiet promenade
along High street. While Edwards was in
the midst of a starlight discourse with the lady
upon his arm, he was struck a tremendous blow
upon the head, which knocked him senseless
and cut an ugly cash in his scalp. The theory
of the government is that this was done by
Herman Davis, who thus indicated his exclu-
sive right to the girl in the case. She, plump
and pretty brunette, named Barnes, when put
upon the stand, knew but little about the af-
fair. In reply to the question whether Davis
was paying attention to her, she said, "None of
your business had no idea who struck
Edwards, except that "it wasn't Herman Da-
Wis" In view, however, of the strong testi-
mony of Edminster and others, the court held
Davis to answer to the charge of assault with
intent to kill, in $500 bail, for want of which
he went to jail. IA ..-' .... Re- ..,t s-5

DEATH OF DIR. FRANCIS LIEBER.-Dr.
Francis Lieber, writer on international law
and political ethics, died suddenly in New
York, Wednesday evening from heart dis
ease. He was born in Berlin, March 18,
1900, and was educated in the medical
profession. In 1916 he entered the Prus-
sian army, and was present at Waterloo.
The next year he returned to Berlin,
took part in the democratic movements of the
German Universities, was condemned to four
years. Imprisonment and excluded from the
schools of Prussia, though in 1920 he took his
degrees in Jena, where he was prosecuting
his studies, when he was forced by the police
to retire to Dresden. In 1921 he went to
Greece, took part in the war of indepen-
dence, and after suffering great hardships
succeeded in getting to Italy. At Rome he
received the aid of Niebuhr, with whom he
returned to Germany as his amanuensis. In
spite of assurances to the contrary, he was
again subjected to political persecution, but
he finally escaped into England, and in 1927
embarked for Boston. Soon after his arrival
in Boston he began his Encyclopedias
Americana" which he completed in 1888.
From 1885 to 1856 he was professor of history
and political economy in Columbia College,
South Carolina, and held the same professor
ship at Columbia College in New York from
1857 to 1865. In 1862, at the request of Gen.
Halleck, he prepared for the use of the army
an essay on "Guerilla PARTIES" and in 1868
Constructions for the Government of the Ar
mics of the United States in the Field'' He
was very influential in upholding the COVE n
ment during the civil war, and was president
of the Loyal Publication Society of New York
His literary works were quite numerous, and
many of them have been translated into
other languages.
THE very careful Washington sorrespon-
dent of the Boston Advertiser thus sums up
the situation in the three Central States as
taken from the most reliable sources:
Private advices from leading Germans of
Ohio represent that marked and decisive re-
action is apparent among the German voters
of that State, and that the disclosures of the
motives which influenced Hassaurek's change
of position have more than neutraliZed the
strength which he expected to develop in ia
vor of Greeley. From the data at hand it il
confidently predicted that Hamilton county
will be saved to the Republicans and that the
greater part of the German vote of Ohio will
refuse to go with the liberals. A careful esti-
mate yesterday by the editor of the leading
Republican paper of Ohio gives that State to
the Republicans by 10000 to $1,000 majority,
Indiana by 5000 to 5000, and Pennsylvania
by 10000 to $4,000 for the congressman at
large and a smaller figure for Hartranft.
These majoritieS are moreover all minimum
stimates. ., 81 .,a -.4- -..t...

THE SIxTY-THIRD MEETING OF THE A. B. c,
+. M.-Ths annual convention in Session this
week at New Haven is largely attended 1t
opened Tuesday. That day the New York train
had twenty cars and the morning Boston train
forty cars. Four thousand had applied for en-
tertainnent and many others came unannounc-
ed by previous letter. The Music Hall seats
22OO but is wholly inadequate to accommodate
those who wish to attend and SO other meetings
are held in churches. The singing is led by a
brass band, the tune being first played through
on grand piano. A choir of $50 youth is
another adjunct. Meetings of returned stu
dents, of returned missionaries and their chill
dren, of mothers and of auxiliary associations
fill up the week. A social reunion at the GAL
lery of Art was held Wednesday.
The past year has been a prosperous one The
receipts are $438, 693 with balance over out
goes of $4,000. The number of missionaries is
300 and no death has occurred during the year, a
fact unparalleled for forty years. More than
usual have been commissioned the past year
When the Board met in New Haven last, in
1862 it had an income of only $4,000. The
doings of the Board will appear as usual in
permanent FORM including opening discourse
by Rev. DIR. Bartlett of Chicago, which was an
hour and forty minutes long.
