among the fancies or the vsgaries of the magma

Samuel was about six years of age, started on a
voyage which WAS supposed TO be his last earthly

but his vessel never reached her port. Long and

years had flown since the bright spring morning

saying that under the law they could not do 9TH

had issued restraining order, which has not beer
done. The interview concluded as follows:
Reporter.-Could the United States court in
any way interfere with state matters
Governor.-Yes. The court might say, for in.
stance, that orders to reconvene the board OF

officials and might interfere and stop such pro

trembled with emotion. as he advanced towards
his boy from whom he had been separated so many
years. The father and son were soon clasped in
each others arms. The scene which followed had
better be left for de- criptoE TO the professional

taken of by passing vessel and saved. We do
not know how the old gentleman reconced the
fact of leaving wife an9 family in ignorance ofhis
whereabouts, with the idea of flial affection; that
we shall be obliged to skip in this narrative. The
father came on to Augusta that night, with his
son. Nj. Chute is settled in one of the Western
States, where he has amassed fortune, aud where
his family will return with him. And this is the
way a fireman on the railroad found his father,
who had been lost for more than twenty years.

Yesterday the commissioners to examine, cod
ify, amend or add to the laws relating to savings
banks, held session yesterday at the Augusta
House. The commissioners were all present as
follows }. S. Wheelwright, Bangor; Geo. ii.
Pilsbury, Lewiston; a. NJ Burton, Portland; j.
G.. Brooks. Belfast; VIM. Il. Smith, Augusta.
Hon. W. w. Bolster State Bank Examiner, was
present to advise aud consult with the commits
sioners. Each Of the commissioners presented
plans and recommendations, and had full and
free discussion. They continued their meeting
late into the night, and undoubtedly agreed upon
bill relating to savings banks, to be submitted to
the legislature. We shall give an abstract of the
bill in to morrow's paper.
We may state that they have agreed upon a bill
providing that the banks pay dividend of 2 l-2
per cent. semi annually, making an annual div-
den of per cent, instead of 8, as now paid AL
so, TO reduce the State tax from one half Of one
per cent to one quarter Of one per cent. The
recommendation Of Commissioner Bolster, that
banks loan on names alone, was thought to be un-
wise, and ii was omitted from the bill. The other
matters related mainly to the codifcstion of the
laws, and putting them in proper manner.

| The undersigned of the counsel for the candi
| dates Ton the democratic conservative ticket, re
spectfully represent that they are informed AM
believe that the supervisors of registration TO
fourteen parishes had not filed their returns herr
at the time the board adjourned yesterday.
That many of these returns are aud have beer
ior some time in the city Of New Orleans in the
nands OF the republican supervisors or of repub
ncah candidate for Congress. That proof of this
iact appears in affidavts filed relative to the par
lshes OF Ouachita, Lafayette, East Baton Rouge,
Red River, Franklin and Others
Ihat 1t appears frem the statements made by
General L. Z. Anderson, before the board on
Monday last, that the returns from St. Landry
were in New Orleans that day, though not report
ed hied yesterday. Wherefore, the undersg ed
move that the supervisors, or other persous hold
ing said returns, be ordered to bring the same be-
lore this board of returning officers forthwith.
lhe annexed proof shows that NJ j. Grady, SUI
peryisor for Ouachita, has had these returns here
IN this city for a week past. That J. A. Veazey
supervisor for Lafayette, had his returns here a
week ago That S. A. Glover, superv visor for East
bs'on Rouge, has been here with his returns for
zen days past. Thst A. W. Caroughe, supervisor
oil lted River, has been here with his returns for
| seven days past That w. II. Mckay, supervisor
OF Franklin, forwarded his returns on the 18th
INST, and Is now in the city. That George 5.
smith, republican candidate for Congress in the
tth district, Is IN the city of New Orleans, and
Drought with him from Shreveport and had and
still has under his control some of the returns
from lied River parish and in said 4th district,
and the annexed copy of a circular letter to the
Supervisors of Registration from ID. J. NJ. A.
Jewett, secretary of the republican campaign
committee, shows that they were instructed to
bring the republican vote of their parishes up to
prescribed figure.
Pending the reading Of Judge Spoaord's mo-
ton Gt n raj Hnderson remarked in regard to the
returns from the parish of ST. Landry, that they
were not In the city, because he had ascertained
upon the arrival of the steamboat Trenton, yester-
day eve, that the supervisor with the returns had
been detained on account of low water at the
mouth of the Red hyer.
On motion Of Gen. Anderson the President of
the Board instructed the Secretary to issue orders
TO all supervisors in the city to file their returns
Immediately.
request was made by the democratic counsel
that they be notified to the order in which the
contested parishes would be taken up so they
might have time to summon witnesses from dis
tant parts Of the State.
President Wells said the rules governing the
Board could not be changed. That notice would
be given when contested parish was to be con-
sidered but that there was no order established.
1t was agreed that the parish of East Baton
Rouge would be the first contested parish taken
