NEW YORK, August ia notice was
posted at the Wall Street Bank this
morning, announcing that all checks on
Ogden q Co, would be paid on presenta-
ton at the First National Bank. A rumor
was current at the opening of business
that the absent cashier, Dickinson, was
arrested, but it proved unfounded. 1t is
now asserted hat Dickinson was using the
bank funds in private venture in grain
and stocks. His margins, however, were
small but he ayerted suspicion by putting
small sums to his credit in a large number
of Offices. 1t is thought his latest pur-
chases when closed out will show a profit
as the market advanced after they are
made.
The bank commissioners are at work on
the bank affairs footing up losses sustained
by Dickinson's speculations. President
Evans did not know whether the state
ment would be ready to-day. It was ru-
mored on the streets that the stockholders
would not be paid 25 per cent, and the
deficit was larger than stated. The Vice
President states the stockholders will be
paid so per cent. and the depositors in
full A reliable authority says the deficit
will not be over s250,OO0 Rumors on
the street, however, put the defalcation
at half a million. The directors have de-
cided to wind up, and a receiver will be
appointed.

organization, established by a Mormon ell
der in Louis and Hickman counties, this
state, about three years, was broken up
on Sunday by the Killing Of all elders by a
band of masked men. Mr.. Dcpriest,
United States mail carrier, between Ivy
Mills and Centerville, Hickman county,
gives the following account of the massa-
ere: Three elders were leading the meet
ing at Conder's farm on Cane Greek,
Lewis county, Sunday morning, when
twelve masked men on horseback rode up
to the house and ordered a young man
named Hutson and young Gender to sur
render. They showed fight. One masked
nan knocked Gender down, break
ing his skull. Hutson fired.
One masked man fell dead. He
was found to be Dave Hanson, a citizen
of Hickman county. He lived at Brush
Fork, on Beaver Dam. The masked men
then shot and killed two Of the Mormon
elders. The third ran toward the woods,
from which firing was soon heard. The
elder has notbeen seen since, and it is sup
posed he was killed. 1t has since been as
certained that the masked men before
going to Conder's house stopped at the
house of a man named Garrett, near
Conder's house and found a woman elder
there. They left two masked men in
charge of this elder. Shooting was heard
shortly afterward, and that elder has not
been since seen. When the firing COM
menced at Conder's house enc elder hid
behind Mrs. Gender, and in shooting at
him Mrs. Gender was wounded.

Burning Telegraph Poles for Fuel.
A gentleman from Fort Mckinney,
who arrived in the city yesterday says the
telegraph line from which much difficulty
has lately been experienced is now being
thoroughly repaired, and is again in good
working order. He says that great an
noyance has been experienced from
freighters and Others using the telegraph
poles for fuel. a reward of $500 has
been offered for the arrest and conviction
of any such depredators. 1t is given out,
on authority, that extra precautions will
hereafter be taken to apprehend the
guilty ones, who, when caught. will
suffer to the full extent Of the law. The
gentleman suggests that as the interests Of
that section of the country ale so closely
connected with Cheyenne, the merchants
here should impress upon their ireighters
the necessity Of not only leaving the line
alone, hut doing every thing in their
power to maintain telesraphic communi-
cation.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH Is.

The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Few people know that the original Declara-
ton Of Independence is kept in the library
of the State Department. 1t IS IN CHERRY
case and under glass. But the doors are
thrown open all day long and strong rays OF
light are eating up its ink day by day. The
constitution is written on parchment. The
text of it is in a hand as fine as copper
Mate and the ink Of this part can still be
1nIainlv read The signatures, however, are
written in different ink, and they are very
fast disappearing under the action OF the
light. The bold signature Of John Hancock
is faded almost entirely out. Only a }, 0, n,
and an II remain. Two lines OF names are
entirely removed froia the paper; not a YES
tipe of ink remains to show that names
we're ever there Ben Eranklln's name Is
cone. Roger Sherman's name is fast fading;
| could not find the name Of Thomas Jetier-
son, and Elbridgo Gerry has lost its last syi-
able. Robert Carroll and John Adams have
been secured OF by the light, and only
eleven names out Of the fifty odd eau be
read without II microscope. Just below the
constitution lies the original Of it III Jelier-
sons handwriting. 1t is Is on ioo!scap pa
per, yellow with age, and worn through
where the manuscript has been folded. Inc
writing is fine and close, and the whole
constitution occupies but two pages. The
ink is good and it remains as fresh as when
it left the quill Of Jefferson over 100 years
ago. 1t is full OF erasures and intellncatlons,
soma of which are in Franklin's handwr!t.
ing and others in the strong script OF John
