THE COMPTROLLER OF the currency,
in his annual report. refers TO the re-
cent fraudulent operations by which
some national banks have been
"busted," and makes them the occa-
sion of some sharp criticisms en- the
negligence of bank directors. de
holds that the carelessness of directors
is very nearly akin to crime, and
suggests that they be made Grimm
ally responsible when the funds OF
the bank are stolen or squandered by
the cashier. There ia no question
that if the directors were faithfully
aud intelligently to perform their
duties as guardians of the money en-
trusted to their care, g bank would
seldom fail, and depositors never
suffer loss. 1t ia hoped that the Law
will be 80 amended az to drive direc
tors to the performance of their du
ties in the examination OF the at1al
Of their banks, and in watching these
who handle other peoples money
given into their care.

Hon. SAMUEL J. RANDALL has been
talking to a newspaper man on the
question of congressional action this
winter respecting the national
finances. MIR. Randall is of the opin-
ion that the continued 5 and 6 per
cent. beads should at once be called
in in amount sufficient to reduce the
large surplus of money now in the
treasury to a limit not exceeding %
per cent. of Outstanding liabilities.
He says experience warrants the as
sertiou that 40 per cent. is too great 9
reserve, and that the less amount viii
amply suffice to guard the treasury
against. sudden drafts. He thinks
that at least one hundred and thirty
millions of the money in the treasury
could be at once unlocked, and tina
the business of the country would b.
bettersd by the outflow. Mr.. Ran
dali can only guess" at what Con
gress will do.

IT MUST be pretty evident to Cult
teau and his friends, that while he
may be a crank, the cross-examina-
ton by Judge Porter demonstrated
too clearly to be overcome by any tess
timony that can be given that the
assassin was fully responsible in
every sense of the term for his act in
taking the life of the President.
Brother.in-Law Scoville is shrewd,
and unquestionably has skilled legal
advisers to prompt him, but he made
the gravest mistake in the conduct of
the case when he put the prisoner
upon the witness stand. It lie q
generally understood truth that a
sharp crcs.-examiner will make 8
perfectly rational. sane and thorough,
IL intelligent witness declare himself
an irresponsible crank, but Judge
Porter seems to possess the faculty Of
making a shrewd, cunning crank,
prove himself q crafty, responsible
person. Guitteau may make up his
mind that the Deity, who has pro.
tected him so long. is about to sur
render his charge, for it would be q
remarkably ignorant and perverse
jury that would now ssy the MUIR

The CAUCUS OF republican repre-
sentatives in Congress, on Saturday,
nominated for Speaker of the House.
Hon. J. W. Keller, member for the
springfeld, Ohio, district. He will
doubtless be elected on Monday, the
republicans having a sufficient num-
Der of votes to elect, no matter what
may be the combinations against
them. Gen. Keller, although a young
man, (he is not yet 46) ranks among
the abIest members on the republican
side of the House. He served in the
Forty-ffth and Forty-sixth Con-
crosses, and as newspaper readers
are we'll aware, was remarkably &C.
live representative, figuring in pretty
nearly all the debates of political
character, and having something to
say on every important question that
arose. He is a rank partisan, but
not OF the stalwart order. 1t is pre-
dicted for Gen. Keller that he will
win respect as speaker.

BURGLARY in Bucksport,

The house of Mr.. Amos Smith Of Bucks
port was burglarized on Monday night or
Tuesday morning of last week. The thief
or thieves secured fourteen hundred dollar.
in State of Maine SIX per cent bonds, and
between six and seven hundred dollars in
bank bills and about ten or fifteen dollars
in silver. Mrs. Smith had her money locked
in an old valse in her paror closet. En-
trance was made by breaking pane of glass
and raising the window.
\ bank book of deposits Of three thous
and dollars in the Penobscot Savings Bank
aud one Of deposits of one thousand dollars
in the Bangor Savings Bank were left be
hind probably on account of their not being
useful TO any person excepting the depositor
The burglar must have been very well ac-
quainted with the premises as there was a
trunk in the closet which was left untouched
and the valise WAS opened by a duplicate
kew. Quite a number Of half burned match
4, were found on the carpet. Mrs. Smith
slept in an adjoining room but did not hear
sound for the night. This is considered
rather an unfortunate birthday visit for the
old lady, she being eight, four Years Of age
on TUESDAY,
