The German.American Bank

Inc
NEW YORK, April 22.-Emil Sauer,
late president Of the German-Ameri-
can bank, met the board OF directors
yesterday. TO consider the affairs OF the
institution. The report Of the account
ant ehowed that the amount loaned by
the bank to the late president was as
stated by him, and that the collaterals
DEPOSITED, unless under forced sale, are
sufficient TO cover the sum loaned. The
friends OF Sauer think he was treated
with unnecessary haste and harshness
by the bank.

ST. LOUIS.
The Arkansas War.

ST. Louis, April 22.-The hepaoa'
cans Rittle Rock special, in speaking OF
the street skirmish last evening, sub
stantiaIly corroborates the Associated
Press account, and adds that a man
wearing United States soldiers cap,
su opposed to be Colonel Roses orderly,
closely followed that officer with a re-
volver 10 each hsud. which he rapids
Nv discharged into the crowd OF BaI-
ter's troops and citizens. Fire was
then opened by several oil Brooks par
tizsns, and Bsxter's troops
sur posing that the fire came from the
Federals, whom they were ordered not
to attack, fell back, bat when the true
character OF the attack was known
they returned the fire. The plan OF the
Brooks party was to rest behind their
barricade while their lines stationed
between the Federal troops and Baxter's
forces, were to draw fire on the Fed
erals.
The GloJe's special gives very dif-
ferent version OF the. affair. 1t says
that Colonel King, while in \ speech
to the colored troops. said he would
capture the State House without re-
gard to Governor Baxter, th. Federal
troops or the devil. Colonel Rose
mounted his horse at City Hall aid
,ode down In the crowd and ord cred
King and White to stop the
noise. White replied, Damn you,
l command these troops" There
upon the white troops imme-
diately commenced firing at Colonel
Rose, evidently attempting his assassl-
ton, but resulted in the killing Of
David Shall and woundipg W. A Craw-
ford, one OF Baxters officers. who were
both in thel Anthony House. Brooks
forces were all inside the State house
in accordance with Colonel Roses re-
quest several lays ago. Colonel Rose
is uuhur'. = d behaved with great cool"
ness, while the organized mob which
did the hiring dropped their guns and
scattered as fast as the citizens who
were in the street 10 the vicinity OF the
Anthony House. Colonel Rose has
requested Brooks troops not to fire
gun, but 10 wait till he bas finished
dealing with the insurgents, and after
thar, il it was necessary, the troops
supporting the legal State government
can finish them. Major Lewis

plain and advocate it.

dence at . particular place, with direct
or presumptive proof OF an intent to

THE VETO.

The chief item OF news we have this
morning is President GRANTS message
ve,olDg the currency initiation bill. 1t
takes the country somewhat BY sur
prise, for while it has been generally
understood that the President was OPP
posed to Initiation, the Washington dis-
patches and letter writer's have created
the i'm preston that he would sign the
bill. The message arrays in very forci
bic manner the solemn declarations that
have from time to time been made by
Congress in opposition to an increase in
the volume OF the currency and in
favor of a speedy return to
specie payments, ard reminds the
Congress that the faith OF the country
has been pledged not to do what the
bill seeks to accomplish. The bill is
vetoed, not 30 much for what it sctu-
ally does az for what its friends intend
ed it to do. 1t WAS intended to add one
hundred millions OF dollars to the pa
per money now in circulation, but its
immediate effect was to produce an
actual contraction by requiring the
country banks to keep in their own
vaults, without interest. the reserve
they have heretofore loaned in the
East.
The finances of the country are thus
again unsettled, and until some action
is had by Congress which will
meet the approval OF the Executive
and thus defiue the course to be pur'
,ued, business men will continue tc
srope in the dark. 1t may be that the
House bill in relation to this subject
may now be passed by the Senate aDd
sent to the President for approval, bu'
there is little doubt that it would mee'
with as much, if not more. objection
than this. Opposed in principle to any
increase in the obligations OF the gov
erumeut beyond the power Of payment
the President will doubtless interpose
his objection to any plan which pushes
farther away the day OF fulflmen'
of the promises of the govern
m.ut and widens the margin between
the paper dollar and the actual coin
live want more money we must have
more gold or more OF the articles o
istrinsic value that may be converted
into gold. Without this the natior
will be no richer though the govern
ment printing presses stamp paper dol
lars at the rate of ten millions per day

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

The trade in general merchandise
continues fair, with nc new features in
the market.
Although there has beeI q eight
advance in wheat West, owing partly
doubtless, to the unfavorable weather
for getting in the spring crop, there 10
no change 10 the quotations here. The
market, however, is still firmer. The
same quotations continue for rye, corn
and oats. Our quotations OF corn are
q little above the price.
Groceries are steady in Cincinnati
and the demand fair. Our leading
houses all report from 10 to 25 per
cent. larger sales this season 60 far than
for the same moOih last spring. And
this, Notwithstanding the fact that
country merchants buy in small quanti-
ties and only for immediate use. This
shows that the stocks in the country
are cleaned out closely, and that what
is now purchased from the jobb.r finds
an immediate sale 70 the consumer.

chased full lines OF goods in this city

ANEAsTERN OUTLET.

The communication we publish this
morning in relation to the Elm Grove
railway will be read with a good deal o'
interest by our progressive citizens.
The i'm mprovement advocated is one oi
very great importance and there can be
littl. doubt that. beside the indirect
benefit it would confer by enhsncing
the value OF property along the line'
the stock OF the company itself will
prove profitable investment OF capital.
There is no fact more frequently and
stubbornly thrust in our faces in con-
sidering plans OF local improvement
than that some means must be devised
for facilitating transit between
the Wheeling creek valley and the
business portions OF the city. The hill
stands as a huge wall against the e1'
pansion of the only desirable direction
now left to us, and something musl be
done to render this obstacle less for
midable than it is now. 1t must be
cut through, or tuunelled, or carted
away, or else some other aud better
means than now exists must be had
for going over or aronnd it. The Elm
Groye railway company proposes. we
believe, to 90 around it. The plan 's'
IN conjunction With a plan for macad"
amizing a street along the eastern base
Of the hill and across the northern por-
ton of the Peninsula, to lay q
street railway track upon the proposed
street and upon the national road. OF
such portions Of the latter as may bes'
suit the purpose. as far as Elm Grove
about five miles from the city. 1t will
pass by the Peninsula Cemetery
Greenwood Cemetery and the new
Catholic Cemetery, and will place
pleasant country residences within
easy reach of the men who are com
PEELED by the demands of business te
spend the day in the city. 1t is one o.
the several scbeme devised for per-
mitting population to no"
out in the direction proposed
1t is already needed and th'
demand for it is destined to grow
stronger year by year, if the population
Of the city continues to increase. as W
have every reason to believe that j
will.
We have arrived at that point tha
the hill must be passed in some better

lem which is now pressing for solution
