The American Bankers Assoclatio

The American Bankers Association is
campaigning with documents as actively as
either of the politi cal parties. We gather
from the last circular that they want the
taxation on banks lightened to the point
of removal, and we gather from their &C
tivity that they will try and have some
representatives in the next congress of
their way of thinking. But the voters
though not distr ibuting documents are not
asleep.

so that when the Virginians entered the
village about O'Clock on the morning Of
the 10Th of April, 1861, they found that
they were too late to prevent the destruc-
ton of from $4,000 to $4,000 stand of the
most approved arms that were stored IN
the burning arsenal.
At Strasburg, Capt. Imboden being
without horses tor his guns, sent to all the
neighboring farms, and "impressed' them
from the stables, and from ploughs in the
furrow, greatly to the disgust of that
peaceful and peace-loving population, who
then little dreamed of the storm of war so
soon to sweep over those very fields.
In explanation of the promptness with
which these Staunton volunteer companies
turned out in response to Geographic or

of the 18th Of April full meeting Of both
companies had been held, and Capt. I'm

next day,-the 16th-and ascertain how
soon they would probably be needed, as
war was then imminent, and the men, rep
resenting almost every walk in life, desired
to set their houses in order, and be ready
to perform the citizens highest duty.

WASHINGTON, April 80. Immediately
after the adjournment Of the House to-day
a well attended Democratic caucus was
held for the purpose Of determining what
course should be pursued in regard to the
Presidents veto Of the army appropriation
billg gr. ARJss5
After some discussion upon the PROPOSE.
tion to refer the veto message to the. j u.
dietary Committee or to a special select
committee with a view to obtaining a re.
port which should exhibit what was al.
legged to be its incorrect Interpretation Of
the purpose and effect OF the 9Th section Of
the bill, it was decided to bring the meas.
ure to direct vote tomorrow without de-
bate or reference. -
The resolution, embodying this conclu.
sion, was finally adopted with great unan.
Unity and Is as follows:
ReO0lred, Thatit Is the sense OF this eau.
Gus that the bill making an appropriation
for the support of the army should pass;
Notwithstanding the objections OF the
President, and that we will proceed to
take vote on 1t tomorrow without de.
bate. Jt---F H.lJf
The caucus then proceeded to consider 4
question OF wider scope and greater im-
portance, namely, what further action
be taken by the Democratic party con-
cerning the two appropriation bills, after
they shall both have been defeated by the
Presidents vetoes, the veto OF the Legis-
lative, Executive and Judicial bill, with
its political sections, being OF course fore
shadowed by the present message. An an
mated discussion ensued, In which,
among others, Messrs. Randall, Black
burn, Cox and Stephens participated.
1t was finally determined to refer the
whole subject to the caucus committees OF
the House and Senate, which originally
framed the political section now in con-
troversy, the House committee being re-
vived for this purpose, and instructed to
confer with similar committee OF Demo-
cratic Senators, and after mature considers
ton to report their recommendations to
the joint caucus.
The members OF the committees are Us
follows: On part Of the House-Repre-

part OF the Senate-Senators Thurman,

Two Men Attempt to Rob Bank In
..-. Broad Daylight.
PITTsBuReH, April 3O.-A bold but un-
successful attempt was made at noonlto-
day to rob the Workingtnen's Savings
Bank, on Ohio street, Allegheny. The
bookkeeper OF the bank had gone to din
ner, leaving the cashier, Geo. L. Walter,
alone. Two men entered the bank, and
one OF them advancing to the rear counter
asked for silver for a dollar bill. When
the cashier advanced with the change in
his, hand he was confronted with cooked
revolver and told to make no noise OF he
would be shot. Dropping the silver
Walter seized the revolver and succeeded
in wrehChng it from his assailant, who
then ,clambereds up and got inside the
counter and was reaching for the money
on the counter, when Walter opened fire
on him, firing two shots at him,
and also two at the other robber, who
in the meantime had climbed over the
front counter, and vas advancing to the
rear OF the room. The strangers, dismay-
ed BY the warlike reception, then turned
toward the door and fed, and have not
yet been arrested. The officers OF the
bank say,they sustain no loss.
Later developments in the assault on
the Workingmen's Savings Bank to-day
are that the thieves succeeded in carrying
of s., 800, but in their hurried fight drop
ped package containing 500, which was
picked up on the street and returned to
the bank officers. The thieves on leaving
the bank made for the river and succeed
ed in getting over to this side, where all
clue to their whereabouts was lost. h
