Report on the Mechanics Bank.

NEWARK, n. j., November 8. 8.-According
to examiner Shellrise's report on the Me-
chanics' Bank, the apparent deficiency is
81, 412, ,S67.e1; but the capital stock, sur
plus and undivided profits are included in
the liabilities. Deducting 1884, 1874. 1S;
which represents the stock; surplus and
profits, the deficiency is reduced to 81 ,428,-
032, which must be met by assessment on
the stockholders to the full amount of their
holdings and losses by the creditors 1t is
customary to estimate that the stock will
not yield more than 80 per cent, which
would give $3.50, 900. This would further
reduce the deficiency to $97S, O32.S3.

INT ERVIEWING HANCOCK,
THE GENERAL WILL BE PRESENT
AT THE INAUGURATION,

Ah6 obNbhAL WILL DE fhESENT
AT THE INAUGURATION.
New YORK, February "a. - Some
comment having been excited by the
announcement that General w. S.
Hancock had accepted an invitation
to attend the Inauguration of Gener-
al Garfield, reporter called upon
the former at the military headquar-
ters, at Governors Island. In re,
sporse to a question why he had de-
cided to attend the Inauguration the
General said: 81 don't think it
would be proper for me to express
my political views regarding Mr..
Garfield or the Republican party at
this time, as [ do not wish to be
drawn into discussion or contros
versy of any kind; but 1 will say
that have received a formal invis
tation to be present at the inaugu-
ration, and have acted in accordance
with my sense of what is proper in
accepting the invitation and in pro-
missing to be present. l am asked
to become the guest of the chairman
OF the committee, and he has press
ed me to take Mrs. Hancock with me
and become an inmate of his own
private residence; but l have en-
gagged rooms at Wormley's HOTEL
A great many of my political, mill
tarY and personal friends will no
doubt visit me while in Washington,
and...I can receive them much better
in my own rooms at hotel than in
another mans private residence
Another good reason is the fact that
l would not feel it fair to ask a pri-
vate host to entertain his guests
friends"
"Will you attend,the Inauguration
in military capacity, or merely as a
citizen of the United States 2''
LAS to that cannot exactly say.
Some time ago General Sherman re-
quested my presence in Washington
on the 4th Of March, long before l
was invited by the committee. l
will not attend the ball in the even
ing, but will be present during
the ceremonies in the Senate cham
ber. 1t is not my intention to ap-
pear in the procession. BY virtue
of my official position, as chief Off
Ger of the military division of the
Atlantic. / will be in reality in COM
mand over alltreops that will be in
Washington on the 4th of March,
The military barracks in that city
are virtually under my charge. In
regard to my personal opinion of
the election of General Garfield, l
will say that Democratic Senate
and House of Representatives have
declared him duly elected, and such
being the case il is proper that any
person who is resident of the Uni,
ted States should attend the inauguo
ration exercises. Some persons
have doubted the wisdom of my ap-
pearance in Washington on the 4th
of March, and others say there is no
harm in my attending. 1t seems
right to me, of course, in this mat
ter. The merits or demerits of diff,
ferent political parties are not in
the question. General Garfield is
to occupy the Presidential chair for
the next four years, and there can
be no harm in seeing and hearing
him when he takes the oath of his
high office. say this without any
reference to parties or disputed pol
itical questions
