THE CALL FOE THE SECOND GENERAL, MgET-
ING OF CRBDITOEs SUSPENDED.
Since the estate OF Jay Cooke s. Co. has been
in process of settlement, uTder the fOrty-third
section of the bankrupt act, by Edwin NJ
Lewis, esq as trustee, and the committee OF
creditors, numerous questions have arisen ss to
the powers OF this committee under the section
No decision has as yet settled the precise nature
OF the powers and duties of the trustees and
committee under the section.
On the 1lth instant, upon the pstition of Olive
Edw9rd Teakle, one of the creditors Judes
Cadwalder ordered second general meeting of
the creditors to be held at Horticultural Hall
the 27th and 2Sth sections of the bankrupt act,
and hat the committee should give notice, by
advertisement, of such meeting.
The 9th and 2Sth sections appear TO coutem-
plate the declaring OF dividends by the Creditors
the sale of remaining assets by the assignee and
the winding up and distribution of the estate
WIN despatch; and, by their terms, these
sectors, are made applicable only to the as
signee.
The construction put upon the forty-tlird
secuon oy many persons is to the effect that
the committee OF creditors was intended to take
the place OF meetings OF the creditors, and that
all the powers vested IN the creditors were con-
terred upon the committee. The condition of
the essets OF this estate ii is understood is such
that many of the creditors believe tn at the sale
OF the securities, and the winding up of the es-
tate In the manner contemplated by tho 9th
ana 2otn sections, would cause ruinous sacri-
fees; and that it was to avoid and prevent this
that the creditors voted for the selection of a
trustee and committee, and the winding up of
the estate under the 43d section
The committee deemed ii their duty to appeal
from the order OF the district judge, and accord
lngly they instructed the trustee to apply to
Judge Mckennan, under the supervisory j1ris-
diction conferred upon him by the bankrupt
act, for the vacation and setting aside OF the or
der of the district judge.
On the 22d instant, j Judge McKeDnan granted
an order suspending the meeting of the 9th of
October, and all proceedings under the order of
the district Judge. until the further order of the
circuit court, and appointed Monday, Oct. 5th
at Philadelphia, to hear the argument upon
the question of vacating or setting aside the
order for the second meeting or creditors IL
thus appears that no meeting will be held upon
the 9th Of October.
1t is very important that the real purpose of
the forty-second section should be definitely
ascertained, and the present status of the case
OF Jay Cooke & Co. is likely TO result in a de-
cision which will settle the mooted points.
We understand that the trustee and commit
tee OF creditors are preparing q report, to be
submitted to the creditors, whether the meat-
ing takes place or not. This report viii give a
full account of the administration and present
condition OF the estate.-Phild telegraph, 24th.

adopted the report on the resolution passed by
the grand body on the subject OF lodge work on

MR.. BRECHRR IN New RoLK-Running
LocChiottre-NdrT0t0 Escdpe.-A dispatch from
Nashua, New Hampshire, says of Mr. b Bsecher:
"his progress through New England has been
An ovation. Whenever the train stops throngs
gather around the car where he sits. He ran
the engine from Lake Village to Concord, forty
miles, or assisted the engineer, and we came
through like lightning. On the way We met
freight train, in passing which pine board was
projected with terrific force from the freight
train into the end Of the car that Mr.. Beecher
had just left for his post on the engine. Ii
shattered 1t with report like pistol, ripping
a hole two feet square in the front end of the
car, and grazing the legs of two of the passen-
gers, inf1ictpg slight injuries" Not today,
bnt next Friday, according to the New York
corresI Iondent OF the Phiiadelphis Ledger, is
the Iime appointed for Mr.. Beecher's return TO
his mock. A story is going the rounds among
the lawyers that the Moulton-Proctor slandeT
is made-up case, with a view of bringing the
pastor into court in advance of the TIton pro-
ceedings against him, with the expectation that
IL VIII help Tllton's case; but, of course, all
such statements must be taken with liberal
grains Of allowance.

The Old Elkton Building Society will

hold an election for officers tonight, and
the auditors present report of the So
ciety's condition, and it is of very great
importance that majority of the stock
holders be in attendance. The Society has
entered on its seventh year, and it is believ-
ed by many that proper system OF with
drawals if adopted will aid in materially
shortening the existence of the Society.
Members who are holding on to their stock
as a permanent investment, and allowing
the funds to sell below ten per cent pre-
MUM may find themselves in more trouble
to realize 5000 per share than they conceive,
if the existence of the Society should be
prolonged much beyond years. The bor-
rowers who have taken money at heavy
premium should see that liberal induce
ment to non- borrowing stockholders is pro-
vided, and if they do not avail themselves
of it by Withdrawing in preference to al
lowing the money to sell at par or trifling
advance at best, they will find no sympathy
if some of the borrowers who paid heavy
bonus, after they have paid back their loan
to the Society with lawful interest, refuse
to pay any more. Ten per cent interest on
their money with no risk or tax attending
the transaction ought to satisfy any one,
but some do not seem to be satisfied with
even that. A proposition will be offered
tonight, looking to establishing gradu-
ated scale of Withdrawals which will be
still more liberal toward withdrawing men,
bers, and every member should be on hand
tonight, and if possible give the Society
new departure that will be more just to
early-borrowing members. If something
of the kind is not done, they will certainly
soon begin to kick.

PORT DEPOSIT, April 9TH, 1874.
The Teachers Normal Association met
Saturday, April 4th, at the usual time and
place. The President being absent Mr.
Eyerist was appointed to fill his place pro
tenn.
Miss jennie Wilson read a selection en-
titled "The Unfinished Boot" after which
Suuier then made few criticisms on the
style of reading and gave US short
dissertation on articulation. The conso-
nantal sounds are the elementary sounds
of a language, therefore particular atten-
ton should be paid to their articulation.
That spelling should first be taught young
children till they are able to enter the sec
ond reader, as reading is but grouping the
aoords they already know, into sentences.
Also to have as little classification as pos
sible; indicidual education being preferable.
The question, d" Is not the itinerant life
more desirable to the teacher and more
advantageous to the progress and welfare
of the schools ?" was taken up and dis
cussed by Miss Wilson, Miss Biddle, and
Messrs. Calhoun and Squier. AS the time
was limited the President ordered it to be
continued till next meeting.
Appointments as follows:-Essays-Mis
Clendenin, Miss Carter. Readings-Miss
Johns, Mr.. Warner, Mate L. Roberts,
Oration-Mr. Watts. Referred Questions
Miss Clendenin, Mr.. Squier. Questions
for Discussion" Can our schools do the
greatest amount of good without frequent
and careful supervision ?" referred by Miss
Vandiver to Miss Jinks. SIS it beneficial
to schools to have frequent changes of
school books ?" referred by Miss Jinks to
Messrs. Squier and Everist. Glass drill in
geography by Miss Jinks.
Association then adjourned till Saturday,
May I'd, 1874, at the usual time and place.
The teachers are earnestly requested to be
present. Public cordially invited.
