THE NvEsTMEsTs OF THE STATE BANgOF NEW
BRUNSWICK.

TIE INvEsT1ESTS OF THE STATE BANEOf NEW
BRUNSWICK.
In regard to the action Of the directOyg and
stockholders Of the State Bank OF New-BrunswiostN
j. TO fortfy tho bank against yesterday, GaVrc&
Conover told TRIBUNE reporter that 100000 had been
deposited In the Park Bank and securities had bern
furnisned by Mr.. Woodwork. President Of the
Carpet Company for 10000 mere. They could
raise every dollar for every dspositor il neces-
sary, and the banh would DO open from a, m. TO
p. m. There was, however. run on the bank.
The action Of Mr.. appleton the suspended cashier, Is
looked upon by the directors IN judgneat 10
not prope ry securing the loans, and nos a. defca
ton. II appears that the NcwBrunswick Carpet Csn-
panys originally the sAthntic Carpet Company OF New
yoht removed to New-BrunswIck year and half ago.
The directors OF the bank discounted $4,000 Of accommo'
dalton paper for them, 1t Affirmed by some in oppost-
uon TO the wishes Of John r. Ford, the President.
The amount was limited to $4,000. 1t was sfterward
ascsrtaied by the cashier that this went to
old debts IN Nev-York, Instead Of gong INTO the
Company and the question arose whether it
would not be better to protect the Company
by houoring their checks. and giving them
further protection until tho bank sonld
caslier IT, il said acting on me advice OF prom nent
stakeholder now IN Europe Thought it best 10 help the
carpet company along. This not mentioned to
q number Of the directors, although the books
always open for their investigation. About ten months
worth Of the New-Brnnswick Carpet Company's
STOCK, ior which he gave notes ON the condi
ton that the stock should not he transferred
until the notes paid and Mr. Woodwork got these
notes discounted at tue state Bank The subscriber Tor
the stock failed however take up the notes, which
were renewed from time TO tme and this reduced the
balance in the Park Bank.
Henry Richmond, the Vice-President Of the bank,
also prominently connected with the carpet company,
well as Christopher Meyer, Of the weathiest
directors although the directors that Mr. Richmond
did not know any thnR about the increase OF the loan
some OF MI AppetOns fUnds, the other hand think
that all the blame should al upon his shoulders.
Mr.. appleton was also treasurer OF the Eureka anu
Empire Building Loan Associations, and an idle rumor
circulated that his accounts not correct with
both, to the of 5000 ia the and 5000 in the
other. Joseph f. Fisher, Of the directors OF the
Empire AssUcaiiOn however, states that Mr. AppletOns
accounts with that company correct ana Theodore
ID. BOoraem. Secretary OF the Eureka Association said
that their books showed balance OF Sc 100 in the hands
heir treasurer and that their accounts kept IN
the bank Of which Mr.. Applet cashier; that the
books OF the BANK according To the expert showed no
balance; that Mr. Appleton thought rs he could
get 10 the books OF the bank and his papers he
could show the full amount To be there.

Offices with honest men, think for, "'v ,,.s1
of the constant temptations that our 80 :,
methods, our civil service system. hab =,
political thought and action. standards
moral conduct, and our notions OF parS
obligations are thrusting before them. What
sort of craftsmanship is it, what sort of COM
mon sense indeed, that puts the absolute con-
troll of the currency of the country, with
power to contract or expand at pleasure,
into one mans hands, and contents
itself with the requirement that that
man shall be Christian statesman
And how many Christian statesmen are there
whose virtue is proof against the temptations
of a position where q wink of the eye may
disclose the secret of great profits, and no
man be ever the wiser Christian statesmen
have fallen under less trying tests. Or what
shall be said Of the wisdom of trusting Con-
gressmen to fix their own pay, leaving the
Treasury doors open to them, and then de-
pending upon the election of honest men and

more absurd than to put honest men into such
positions. and ply them so with temptations
There's one safe way TO keep men from
stealing and that is not TO give them the

lazy ways of trusting to the regulations of
men without examining their cash &C

that no man ever gets above his very
