TIoSAL DANK-AN INDICTMENT PROBABLE
Matters were very quiet in and around the
Atlantic National Bank, yesterday. On the doors were
posted notices setting forth that the checks and drafts
forwarded from abroad to the Atlantic Bank would DC
cashed on presentation to certain banks aud by certain
firms Still other notices set forth that the notes OF GER
tain firms falling due would DO paid at the Importers
and Traders and other banks The doors were guarded,
as before and by of Receiver Strong few persons
were admitted Contrary TO expectations, the receiver
was not able to make a full statement OF the
affairs OF the bank, as he had PROMISED
to do. TIE reason for the delay Is
that the examitOn OF the assets ana Liabilities OF the
institution IS delayed because of tho time required to
verifv tbe individual accounts Of the depostOrs The
deautnc cashier left everything such confusion that
IL ia work OF extreme difficulty 10 bring anything IKE
order out chaos that now regns Ihere were sew
eral boxes OF securities still remaining uneXamheu When
the Receiver and his assistants ceased from tue "oA oi
Investigation last evening. The figures Will not vary
much from those already 1t is possible that the
Receiver may be enabled to make his report to-day at
though 1t Is not very likely.

Bank Examiner Meigs were before the Grand Jury Of
the United states Circuit Court, yesterday and gave
testimony relative to the populations OF Taintor 1t IS
understood that an indictment found against the
accused the regular term of the criminal court does
not be gin until May it is probable that the Grand
Jury wpresent to-day, the indictment found by them
to Judge smaley holding term for the trial of
civil cases. This is the probable as the adjourned
examination in OF TantOr is set down for to-day
before United States Commissioner OSBORN.

maintains the equanmity that characterized his conduct
on the day when his default made public so far as
