EFFECT OF ITS ACTION, YEsTERDAY-sTATE-
MENTs AS TO THE REASONS FOR IT.
Special Dispatch to the Ne,o York Times.
this action on the proceedings now pending
before the court will readily be seen. The
attorneys for the board will return in an
swer to the application for mandamus
made to day that the board no longer ex-
lists, and they are, therefore, unable to coll
suit with them as to the truth of at6davits
submitted by the relators. The members
composing the board will return that they
nave performed their functions, adjourned
sine die, and ceased to exist. The question
will then arise whether the board has been
guilty of contempt in not certifying to the
election of members from Edgefeld and
Leurens. Mr.. Alderman is Of the opinion,
and all Republican lawyers here agree with
him, that
THERE GAN BE NO CONTEMPT,
for two reasons In the first place the
board adjourned before the mandamus was
served upon them. In the second place,
they will claim that they have done all the
mandamus requires them to do. They were
required in substance to certify to elections
in accordance with the report which they
made to the court. Now, they expressly
| stated in that report that the returns from
Edgefeld and Laurens are accompanied by
such evidences of irregularity and fraud,
\ that they are unable to ascertain who has
received the highest number of OF votes.
| In Laurens county, for instance, the returns
were accompanied by a protest of one Of
| the Commissioners, and an affidavit that he
signed them under compulsion. Whether
the intent Of the court was that certificates
| should be issued by the board for these
counties is not known.
1t is said that
ONE OF THE JUDGES, AT LEAST,
will put the same Interpretation on the writ
which the board does but, in any event,
the lawyers say that this defense is sufti-
cient if there we're no other, to prevent
the court from declaring the board IN con-
tempt. The effect of this action of the
board will be to throw the organization ot
the Legislature into the hands of the Re-
pdblicans, as in the absence of the eight
members from Edgefield and Laurens, the
Assembly will stand 60 Republicans to 81
Democrats. The Legislature has the count
ing of the votes for Governor and Lieuten
ant Governor, which will enable them tt
open up the whole question of fraud, in
timidation, and violence.
THE BOARD GIVE AS REASON
for their adjournment sine die to-day, frs
that the statute, as they interpret it, re
qrired them to do so; and, second, that |
| they had not done it the Democrats Nigh
hereafter claim that they have no power t
issue certificates because the time for then
to do it has expired. In other words,t
was done to prevent the possibility OF th
Democrats getting any advantage hereafte
on sthe pretense that the board had nc
c, implied with the law.

Bank suspension and $uIcide.

A BERKs COUNTY SAVINGS BANK sUsPENDs,
AND THE CASHIER COMMITS SUICIDE.
READING, Pa, Fov. 22.-An announce
ment was made yesterday of the suspen-
sion of the Kutztown Savings Bank. which
had been doing good business for the
past few years. The Directors on Monday
decided to close the doors, and the follow
ing day Receiver was appointed. Several
years ago the Bank lost largely through the
failure of Nicholas Hunter, since which
it has been in crippled condi-
Edward Hottenstein was formerly cashier,
but had been succeeded by William O. Die
trich, who continued until the suspension.
The discounting of notes at more than the
legal rate of interest is said to have locked
up its capital, and was the cause of its sus-
pension.
According to the last sworn statement of
the cashier, the entire paid up capital of
deposits amounted to $21, ,499 81, while the
expenses for the year ending November
9th, 1875, was $11, ,15157 During the
present year and at the tune of the suspen-
sion the deposits had been reduced to
$4,000. The paid up capital remained at
$4,000. The expenses of the year were
| $4,000, while the earnings of the bank for
inc bdLn6 ClIne were only %0,UUU.
The amount of unpaid stock subscrip.
tions ia $4,000, all Of which will be availa-
BILE to meet the liabilities of the bank; while
there is due by other banks and individuals
the sum OF SIG, 900, which Will make up the
amount Of $4,000, sufficient to meet all Ii
abilities. 1t was losing concern at the
time that young Dietrich became the
cashier and has been losing ever since.
| The officers of the bank were gentlemen of
the highest sense of honor.
| SUICIDE OF THE CASHIER.
Yesterday afternoon VIM. @. Dietrich,
| the cashier, was found dead in the sbank
with pistol wound in his breast and head.
1t was stated that the proposed suspension
Of the bank had very depressing effect
upon the deceased, who, for some time, had
been laboring under considerable mental
anxiety owing to the financial troubles OF
the institution. 1t was also reported that
the deceased was to have been mar
ried this fall to lady of Lehgh county
who died several days ago, and that this
had also an additional depressing effect
upon him. Mr. Dietrich was a young mar
of excellent character, and was highly es
teemed by the eitizens of Kutztown ano
vicinity. He was a prominent Mason oi
that place, and a member of De Molay
Oommandery Of this city. He was aboui
