The Concord DcfaIcutiot,.

The bank commissioners who have been
examining the affairs of the National Say
ings Bank of Concord, of which W. w.
Storrs, the treasurer, and native of
Montpelier, lately proved defaulter. have
concluded their investigation.
The commissioners report that they find
it impracticablc and consider it unadvisable
to call in the books of depositors, so as to
make an examination beyond the possibii-
ty OF error They find from the books of
the trcasurerthat the amount due depositors
according to his figuring was 81 ,5j2, AL. IS
up to January 1, 1874. An examination
shows that this sum was less than the true
amount, and that the amount on that date
actually due dcpostOrs was 1,G15,42G. As.
The difference is SG2, 954. 10, and the latter
sum represents the defalcaton of the treas
urer. The depositors are considered by lc-
gal counsel to be amply protected by the
trcasurer's bondsmen. Two-thirds of the
assets of the bank are in stocks and bonds
OF western railroads, and mortgage loans in

have made such discounts from the par
value of stocks, bonds and notes as they
deemed proper from their knowledge, and
consider these western investments injudi-
ciously large. The investments nearer
home they consider satisfactory. with but
few exceptions. In tabular statement
they estimate the total resources of the
bank, including the treasurcr's defalcaton.

in the officers of the bank is necessary to
restore confidence in the dcpositors They
do not impeach the honesty of the trustees.

are further informed that this movement
contemplates ''system of correspondence

task Of seeking substitutes for the crops
which the competition Of the west is
driving off the New England soil. 1t

columns, called the attention of our far

articles be raised almost spontaneously at
the west. The soil costs comparatively
nothing, labor is cheap and but very little
of it is needed The only way that the
east can compete with the west in these
articles is by almost eXtortionate rates of
freight exacted by railroad companies, and.
even, then, with doubtful results. We do
not, any of us, desire this We want com

CONNECTICUT Politics

II was to be hoped THAI the adoption of
the constitutional amendment, in Connec.
lieut., whereby Hartford was fixed upon as
the sole capital, would have settled the dis
graceful fight which has so long existed be-
tween that city and New Haven. 1t, how
ever, is to be otherwise, and the fault an
pears to lie at the doors of New Haven.
Last year, in the republican state conven-
ton, Henry b. HARRISON, of New Haven.
was prominent candidate for governor,
but gentleman from New London was
selected in his stead. The democrats took
advantage of this an nominated Ingersoll,
OF New Haven. The whole election was
determined by the capital fight, the New
Haven republicans voting for Ingersoll and
electing him while the other state officers
were elected more from locality than from
politics. This is evident from compari-
son between the gubernatorial and con
gressional vote-the one showing about the
same democratic majority as the other does
a republican majority. The old, distract
ing one capital question being out of the

other states. Office seekers were not tole-
rated then, neither should they be now.
Office then sought the man, not man the
office. Now 1t is all reversed. Why not
go back to the good old times This is an
opportune time. We all know that the
appliances referred to--certainly the greater
part of thcm-are resorted to by candi-
dates for public position at the present day.
We know that II is now so in Vermont. If
public opinion is not greatly mistaken, the
same means are now being used by some
of the persons mentioned as candidates for
governor. We know, also, unless we are
grossly misinformed and popular sentiment
is widely at fault, that some of these
men would never have been. even. dreamed
OF in connection herewith. but for their
own suggestion Do we want such gov
ernors Is it time to commence the selec-
ton OF candidates? Let the people. or
their delegates honestly selected. come M
to a convention and present the name Of
him wnom they consider the best man. 1t
matters not if there should be fifty or n
hundred names presented, if so be they are
good mcn-and there are ten times that

state. Then and there is the time and

may be proud, and of whom no person can

work in the matter when the proper time
comes. We may, perchance, stand alone
in our views, but we believe in the prin-
clple that the office should seek the man.
and that no man should have an office who

TnE GOVERNOR QUESTION.

The governor question is again being
brought into prominence by several of the
newspapers Of the state. We have. re-
Gently, published several of these editorials
and communications, or extracts there
from, which have thus appeared from time
to time. We have pursued this course.
not because we endorsed or approved of the
suggestions made, but for entirely different
reasons. In some instances they have been
copied at the request of the writers or
others, and that we might keep our readers
informed in reference to the discussions
taking place, not upon current topics, but
upon those which will hereafter be timely
and of public concern. This last reason,
also, entered into the publication of those
articles which appeared at request. We
say that we have not endorsed or approved
of the suggestions made, which would of
course, be apparent enough from the num-
Der OF candidates suggested We will 20
further, and say that, with one exception,
we should he sorry to sec any of the gen
tlemen named occupy the position of gov
crnOr of Vermont. The election takes
place eight months hence, and, if the usual
course is pursued, the nominating conyen-
tions will not assemble within five months.
Is il not, therefore, Il little out of time to
commence this discussion now? What OBJ
ject is there to be gained? unless it is to
endeavor to forestall public opinion and
add to the number of political corpses. "
The more candidates named, the greater
will be the number who will meet with
their political death-and wc can all point
to number OF aspirants who would do
more service to the state and appear better
AS political corpses,' than in any other
capacity.
There are, on the other hand, a large
numer Of Nermonters who would honor
themselves and the state in the guberna.
tOrial chair. We have had such governors
before, and we can have them again. We
never desire, again, to see such a canvass
for gubernatorial nomination as was wit
messed two years ago. And how did that
result? The newspapers and politicians
had made the governor, or, rather, they
had determined that one Of two men should
receive the nomination. When the con
vention met, it, in the end, took the matter
into its own hands-where it properly be-
ionged, the delegates being supposed to rep
resent the people-and placed third per.
son in nomination. Let us 90 back to the
good old days when the people in reality,
and not iiguratiyely, selected their goyel-
nor and other officers. We had most ey-
cellent governors in those days, many of
them men of national reputation-we do
not mean to say we have not had good gov
ernors since, because We believe tina. Yer
mont has been, with exceptional instances,
particularly favored in this respect But
in those old days, not days very long gone
by, they were selected by the people, be.
cause they were of the people, understood
the needs of the state, possessed every
qualification for the office, and reflected
new honor on the state. Not one of them
was an aspirant for office. If they had
