The Packard L. gisIaturo was on
the point of adjournment sine die
a week ago. It's Senate had not
bad quorum for two weeks, and
conIdn't get one. The members
of both houses were tired Of Fort
Kellogg, disguised with their ina
biIity to sell their warrants for
even twenty cents on the dollar,
frightened by the smallpox, trou-
bIrd by tue universal scorn and
contempt of the people, and
ashamed of the lndicrous imbe-
ciIity and abject helplessness of
the Packard government. They
wanted to 90 home.

receipt Of this telegram the President
sent for Secretary McCrary, who imme-
diately repaired to the White House.
After a short discussion II was decided
that upon the information contained the
calling out Of U. S. troops would not be
justified under the law. The President
desired Secretary McCrary to telegraph
10 Governor H. NJ. Mathews for more
explicit information on the subject. The
Secretary received such supplementary
information from Gov. Mathews that In
his and the Presidents opinion warranted
the sending Of troops to the scene Of the
riot. Consequently, at later hour this
afternoon, an order was Issued from the
War Department directing troops to be
sent Immediately to Gov. Mathews as.
sistance. The troops ordered to Mar.

GRAFTON, July IS, 1877.
The excitement over the strike Of The
firemen and brakemen on the Baltimore
& Ohio road at this point has Subsided,
and everything is quiet. No freight
trains are, however, allowed to move.
and the officers seem to be awaiting de-
velopments. The Mayor OF Grafton has
just Issued a proclamation setting forth
that it having come to his knowledge that
certain persons Of the town are by threats,
intimidations and, perhaps, in certain in
stances, by actual violence, preventing
certain other citizens Of the town from
engaging in their usual avOcations, and
interfering with the private business oi
such we'll disposed citizens, he calls upon
all persons to desiSt from such threats,
&C., and asserts that he will enforce the
law at all hazards.
This action will probably end the strike
SO far as this joint Is concerned. We
await news from Martinsburg with much
interest. II.

Bank.

Rank.
sr. Louis, July ls.-Bunk matters are
very quiet this morning and business
seems to be progressing at all the insti.
tutions in the regular way. Itisreported
that the Washington Savings Association,
at Washington, Mo-, suspended yesterday.
No particulars.
Bruchambers, President Of the Butchers
and Droyers' Bank, says he has every
reason to believe that the depositors will
leave the adjustment Of the difficulties Of
that bank in his hands and will accept the
proposition made by him. lie thinks an
assessment Of $500 per share will be re.
luired on the stockholders to close up the
business speedily, and is confident that
this sum or at least the greater part OF it
will be returned to them when The assets
are realized upon.
The Directors Of the North ST. Louis
Savings Association have discussed sew.
eral propositions for the settlement Of
their attalrs with view to reopenlng the
bank and resuming business, The one
most taVorably entertained ia to nav all
depositors one.halt in cash and ne.hall
IN stock. ltarrangementS can be made 10
obtain to some ready money to carry GU,
this proposition, it is probable the bank
Sill resume business next week. The "A.
seta Of this Association are 81 800, ,OOO
above the liabilities. As an evidence Of
returning confidence 1t may be said that
the Broadway Savings Association, which
felt the run Of Saturday and Monday al
severely as any bank, received large
number Of new accounts yesterday, and
its deposits were about $4,000 in excess
OF any previous day. A large number ol
depositors who withdrew their funds
Saturday returned them yesterday. Thi.
can also be said Of q number Of other
banks. Over three million dollars ar
rived here yesterday by Express for
