Another Irregular Bank Omeiai.
BOSTON, January IA special dis
patch to the journal from Concord, New
Hampshire, states that an irregularity
in connection with the National savings
bank of Concord is announced, Treasurer
w. w. Stores having misapprOpriated
sixty-fiye thousand dollars. On Friday
last, while the trustees were looking
over the notes and papers, the treasurer
confessed a deficiency in his account of
from fifty to seventy-five thousand dol
lars. This was the first intimation of
fraud the officers had received. The treas
urer states that for the past three years
he had repeatedly loaned the funds of
the bank to his friends who had become
greatly embarrassed. His bOndsmen
were promptly notified of the defalca-
ton, and have been in session every
day since the examination into the af-
fair. His bonds are one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars, and his
sureties twenty-five in number-all reli-
abe and sound men. The bonds Of
Stores secure The depOsitOrs from allie
on his account. The institution has de-
pOsits amounting to one and three-quar-
ter million dollars. Stores states thai
position of cashier Of the First national
bank and treasurer of the Savings bank
enabled him to carry on an account
unknown to any Of the officials of either
institution.
The virginia Legislature.
RICHMOND, Va, January 1.-The
| legislature convened to-day. After Or
ganizatiOn both houses went into
Joint secret session. In the can
vass of the vote for governor,
Kemper's majority is officially stated
at p, ,239; NitheTs, q, ,546. The gov
ernor's message was then received
and read. OF relations between races
be says: Il do not hesitate to affirm,
so encouraging and decisive has been
the progress in the last four years and
50 clearly developed by tine past are the
obligations of to-day, that if we are but
guided by prudence, if we go forward
with courage tempered with fOrbearance,
and if no federal legislation shall inter-
vene to disturb the relations between
the races, we cannot fail TO bring our
great experiment to a successful and
prosperous issue. Recent events prove
how futile and how disastrous to its au-
thOrs must be any future attempt to ar
ray the cOlOred race as political COM
binatiOn upon principle on an
tagonism between the races, and
further that nOn-residents, whatever
their claims to eminence and ability of
philanthrophy, can never understand
the character and circumstances or look
to the wants of our colored population.
Ourselves, and none others, are quail
fed to perform the task assigned to us
by Providence. If not restrained and
thwarted from superior quarters we will
| fill our duty resolutely and effectually,
by promoting the best interest of both
races. We intend to perform it by scru-
pulOusly guarding the newly acquired
rights of the colOred man.
A Tennessean Robbed at the Burnett
House In Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, January Yesterday
afternoon it was discovered that twenty
five hundred dollars belonging to Fred
erick Clapp, speculatOr from Jacks
bOrO, Tennessee, a guest at the Burnett
house, had been stolen from the money
safe in the hotel Office. The money was
seen in the safe Tuesday evening at
eight O'Clock, also at midnight. The
clerks were detained and searched yes
terday, but nothing was found, and
whom to suspect no one dare say. Last
night James Carberry,a q cousin of Henry
Yeates, one OF the Burnett house clerks,
was arrested in COvington for drunken
ness. He left ten dollars and a coat
as bail, and went away. In his absence

and fifty dollars sewed in the coat-lining.
Young Carberry called for the coat this
morning, but it was not given him and
cannot be found. This fact, coming to the
ears of the detective, Henry Yeates, the
Burnett house clerk has been arrested.
He denies his gsilt or knowledge Of the
robbery. He had on his person about
one hundred dollars. Frederick Clapp
appears unable to identity the money.
Yeates left the hotel by permission last
night, ostensibly to visit his wife. He
had access to the safe yesterday morn
ing to get the tray of the hotel money.
He has been a popular clerk and has
maintained good reputation heretofore.
James Carberry, the supposed accom-.
plice in the Burnet house robbery, has
Just been arrested. Two striking engi-
neers came back asking to be restored
to-day. More are expected to follow
their example tomorrow.
