Failure of VIM. III. Cushman

about town in reference to the failure of William

Fortunately the Georgetown Miner brings us the
exact fact, Of the case, and shows both that the

business, either in the way of receiving deposits
or paying checks The announcement, however,

ley, who, il was well known, would not misrcprc.
sent the actual condition Of the institution.
A reference to the sworn statement of the con.
dition of the Bank, made the 22d of June, shows
that its assets are largely in excess Of its iabi-
ties and had Mr.. Cushman been disposed to push
those who were owing the Bank, there would
have been no occasion for even temporary sus-
pension. He confidently expected however to
make certain business arrangements which
would Obyiatc the necessity of crowdng those
who were indebted to the Bank, and it was his
failure to do this rs soon rs expected that seem.
ed 10 make 1t necessary 10 suspend business
operations for the present.
1t is gratifying TO be able to truthfully record
the general tone of sympathy expressed for Mr.
Cushman in this emergency and the cheerful
ness with which nearly all the dcpositors express
their willingness to do everything in their power
to aid the officers Of the Bank in their efforts to
resume business at an early day. =
