VESTIGATION.
He Refuses to Make Public the Result
Of His Labors.
4 FAVORABLE REPORT EXPECTED

DEXTER, February &c. Hon. Jos. W. Tit
comb, Bank Examiner, has completed his ex-
animation of the present standing of the Dex-
ter Savings Bank, and has made up his re-
port. He refuses to give any of the particu-
lars of his report to the public.
1t is learned from the bank officers, how
ever, that his examination finds the bank in
a satisfactory condition; that many of the Sc
curities held by the bank have advanced in
value, and on the whole the prospect is good
The Bank Examiner said he had no state
ment to make at present about any past ir-
Irregularities in the bank accounts.
1t is understood he is pursuing his investi
cations further than merely to ascertain the
solvency or financial condition of the bank ;
that he is transcribing those portions of the
bank record in which the alleged irregulari-
ties occur and will at some future day make
report upon the condition of Mr. Barron's ac-
counts

The additional charge of fraud made
against us by the dirty up-street sheet, in its
issue of Tuesday evening, is, like all the 9TH
ers it has made, base and groundless. tits
malicious lie. With pretence of accuracy,
they present items of single job Of printing;
there is mistake Of $40 in a single item,
and the whole table Of figures is so grossly
inaccurate that practical printer on examin-
alton cannot fail to see that they are made
either by fool or scramp; and it would
not be a difficult task to find both these char
acters in some way connected with the man

gross ISLANDERS, published TO throw dust in the
eyes of legislators, that they may give the
printing contract to Pillsbury & Co., weigh

MISSISSIPPI.
Double Murder.

MEMPHIS, February &c. A double murder
was committed Tuesday at Inka, Mississippi
Major A. NJ. Hutchins accompanied by Thos
McNatt left Inka in the afternoon for home,
being ncighbors. Hutchins had drawn Sl75
gold from the express Office late in the even
ing. McNatt's horse returning riderless with
blood marks on the saddle, aroused suspicion
of foul play. Search revealed the body f
McNatt, terribly mutilated. about two miles
from his home. One hundred yards further
on Hutchns was found in like condition. 1t
is thought that some of the parties knowing
of the gold being at the express office, had
waylaid both of them for it.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
They viii Report that Mr.. Tilden was
~~ Elected. an
The Administration Accused.

NEW York, February &c. The Herald
says the Potter committees report will take
the ground that the evidence taken shows
Florida and Louisiana rightfully carried by
the democrats that the electoral votes Of
these States were cast for the republican
ticket wrongfully, illegally and fraudulently,
and that if they had observed the laws en-
acted for their guidance, they would have
given the electoral votes of Louisiana and
Florida to the democrats. In some cases the
republican visiting statesmen furthered, and
in others silently approved offences of the re-
turning boards.
The report also accuses the administration
of giving federal appointments to those con-
cerned in securing fraudulent casting of cleo
toral votes for republican candidates.
