MONDAY EVENING, JULY Is, 1873

The Potter committee adjourned 10 Wash
ipeton last Saturday, to reassemble on the 23d
inst, at Atlantic City. Up to this time it has
developed nothing new. except the unparalleled
meudacy of the witnesses, from Secretary Sher-
man down to Mrs. jerks. and as the 80 called
democratic Congress has resolved that nothing
it may develop shall invalidate MIR. Hayes title,
We don't see Why it should ever meet again.
However, as the same so called democratic Con-
gross appropriated $4,000 Of the peoples
money to defrsy the expenses of the committee,
as Atlantic City is a delightful place to spend
the summer, as our representative, who Is
designated by the Washington Capital as the
special committee man of the Forty fifth Con-
sress, 90 it, and as. unlike him, VIC want Vir
ginia and especially this district to get all that
can be gotten legitimstely from the Federal
government, We hope there will be no captious
opposition to resumption Of the sittiDgs. We
do think however that iuasmuch as General
Huntou is such fsvorite with Mr.. Springer,
another member of the committee, and
such powerful member of Congress as nc rep
resented himself to be here In his speeob last
Wednesday night. be might ct least have in.
duced the committee to reassemt.o at Jordao's
Springs,i u this district, or at some OF The other
Virginia springs, so that Virgiolans would have
gotten back little of the money that was x
acted Ct them to pay the expenses of this pur.
poseless committee.

No settled plan of operations has been
agreed upon by the creditors and it looks
to-day as though the acts Of a few who are
heavily interested would render impossible
any combined action. Cedar county par
ties have already made q move t, att nh
Farmers mill property in Nebraska and a
Yankton party, hearing Of this, started on
similar proceedings in his W behalf.
No general good will follow this course
though it is difficult to quell panicky
feelings in times like these. Mr.. Farmer
came to his bank this morning and has been
there nearly all day, with Drew, his cashier,
receiving visitors and explaining to them
the condition of affairs. We find that there
is general disposition to ~exonorats Mr..
Farmer and willingness to let him wind up
the concern. The danger is that the
acts Of a few may precipitate bankruptcy.
At the other banks there is perfect quiet
and nothing has occurred which might be
construed into a run. The banks are we'll
fortified with currency, which has the effect
to keep depositors easy.

GEN. HAMMOND.

He is Made Superintendent Of all the
Leading Indian Agencies Of the West.
On the 18th day of January, General J.
II. Hammond, superintendent Of Indians
for the Dakota superintendency, relieved Su-
perintendent Nicholson, of Lawrence, Kan
sas, of the central Indian su~perintendency,
the latter being retired from the service by
order of the secretary of the interior. This
change places Gen. Hammond in charge Of
the two superintendencies, which includes
about all the Indians between the Mississip-
pi river and the Rocky mountains.
His field Of operations has
been thus enlarged at the instance of Com
missioner Hayt, in recognition of his SER
vices since he has had charge Of the Indi-
ans Of Dakota. He has here demonstrated
his capacity for the work by the closest at
tention to the details of his Office and by the
success which has attended all his efforts.
Gen. Hammond not been idle during his
brief season of service in Dakota. Much of
his time has been spent among the Indians
and he has gained a thorough knowledge Of
agency affairs by giving to them his unre-
hitting perzonal attention. As a result of
this faithful performance Of duties Ger.
Hammond has been elevated to . position
second only to that of commissioner of IT.
dian Affairs. His territory extends from
the gulf to the British line, and takes in all
of the important Indian tribes of the coun.
try. His friends here will congratulate him
upon this appointment, most sincerity, as
his abilities IS an Indian mar are generally
recognized. 1t is not known hat Gen. Ham
mond will keep his Office in this city, but
there is reasons to believe that he will.
Such . discrimination would make Yankton
tie headquarters of all western Indian tran
sactions, Gen. Hammond is nov at Law

only thing that has been sgitating tie

FAILURE.
Further Particulars Re .rdins Yankton,.
Disaster.

Disaster.
Excitement still continues in regard to
the failure Of Marx N. Farmer. Depositors
are beginning to come in from the country
and it now looks IS though the bulk Of the
liabilities would fall upon the rural districts.
Cedar county, Nebraska, and Bon Homme
county, Dakota, are largely interested and
among the Indian agencies and military
posts will be found m,ny sufferers. No
adequate idea can yet be formed Of the ex-
tent of individual Losses, but every hour
adds fresh Developments. 1t was stated
yesterday that the Cedar county treasurer
had drawn out from the bank all the funds
Of the county, but it appears that there was
a balance remaining in the bank. The
visitors from Cedar county to-day are very
r~eticent. In fact We received a posi-
tive and emphatic refusal from one party in
reply to our application for information.
In his opininn it was not the business Of the
public, and he would tell the public moth
ing. But this matter is of public impor
lance and We have taken all the pains pos
sible to ascertain where the loses fall. w
do not think that we are far from the truth
in stating that Cedar coun:y's deposit at thu
time of the failure amounted to $4,000
Bon Homme county is a loser to the amount
of 50, 500 and the school district. treasurer o
Bon Homme county holds the county treas
urer's check for $216. In these cases it i
probable that the bondsmen Of the officer
of the counties will be held for the amount
lost by them, ifloss should follow. The fol
lowing additional deposits have been repor
ted to-day which We give as supplements
