WAsHISGToS, September q. The
Washington City Savings bank is now in
the hands of receiver. There are about
two thousand depositors, whose joint de-
posts will reach upward Of 100000. The
assets arc supposed to be sufficient to Dover
the entire responsibility of the banks.
No LONGER TROUBLED.
The secretary of tho treasury is no
longer troubled with kilograms of inquiry
from financial sources. No excitement
whatever exists in that department, and
the executive department is equally free
from it since the official announcement
that the president and the secretary could
do nothing more to relieve the pecunary
embsrrss.ments. No suggestions have
been received from any Ffuarter. The
treasury ia dischsrging all its business as
usual, with no interruption in any branch,
and all the officials are as calm as if there
| had been no financial storm.
TO HONOR GOVERNMENT DRAFTS.
An arrangement has been made by
which tho London house of jay Cooke,
Mccullough ~ Co. will honor ali govern
nent drafts on the London house of CIews,
Habecht & Co.. beyond this there has
been no change in the agency.
The receiver of the First National bank
of Washington, reports tho liabilities II,

WITHDRAW.
Samuel Josephs, applicant i.5 proceed
ngs in bankruptcy against Jay Cooke "
Co., has withdrawn his suit, in conse-
quonce of the statement made Of The as
sets and liabilities of the firm.
The banks have generally paid out cur
rency when needed to pay wages, and are
discounting freely, which gives On easier
feeling in banking circles.
The board Of bankers to-day adopted
the following;
Whereas, The embarrassed state of
finances OF the country, growing out oil
the scarcity Of currency, the too rapid de-
velopment of railroad interests, and the
system of over-trading, have gwen rise to
| A panic, in which the ioea OF intrinsic val

Be it resolved, That we heartily en-
| dUrse the action OF the secretary OF the
treasury in his efforts to stay tho tide OF
rum, by Offering temporary relief, and his
! wise discrimination IN the use Of the re
sources at his command.
Rcsol, Cd, That we urge upon him the
necessity CT bringing before congress 9

which the benefits of our present system
may be generally extended, and serve

Resolved, That as the great source o

are more promising than over, and tina
| therefore the enterprises of the countr,
nave a greater chance for profit and sue

values is the result of panic, and withou

! Resolved. That we deem it our duty &

hearty condemnation Of those who fc
personal profit attempt to aggravatc III
