ference in New York of the officers of the
American Bankers Association to-day, the
secretary drafted and the programme was
completed prior to the opening OF the head
quarters of the convention at the Grand
Pacific Hotel, Chicago, on Saturday. A
larger number Of speakers thsnususl have
announced to ths executive council their
intention to be present and their desire to
speak on some of the. numerous practical
topics which will be brought up, and it Is
suggested that the convention should
be prolonged, if possible, for another day or
two. Hon. Jas J. P. Odel, Of Chicago,
James Il. Trip, of Marathon, N. T.; J. s.
Barrett, of Louisville, Clinton McClsrty, Of
Louisville, and other gentlemen are an
nouneed to speak on the banking and cur
rency system in its relation to commercial
revulsions and their mischieyous effects
upon commerce and industry, the public
wealth and the general progress Of the na-
ton.

page of the silver dollar coinage is to be
discussed and Hon. E: G. Spalding, of BuE

sitered some aspects of this subject and the
results of their Investigations will, it is
hoped, be given to the convention with the
later views of bands and economists in 9th
tr European countries. Another aspect Of
tie discussion will relate to the efforts max
ing TO establish unicn among various ma
TORS on this continent which shall include
the United States, Brazil, Chill and other
American nations, and shall provide for an

lar regulations to that of Latin Union.

ficers of great experience, and by Professor
Albert S. Bolles of Pennsylvania. W. P.
Drew, National Bank Examiner, of Phila-
delphis, will slso give important informa-
tioD, after which a. w. Blyne, of New
York, will present an extremely important

A STRANGE CASE.
A Western Iustlcs Signs a Rssigna
tion While Insane.
He is NOW SANE AND STILL JUDGE
While His Supposed Successor Is Not anC
Never Was Judge Of the
Supreme Court.
A CASE INVOLVING MANY DECISIONS,

SAX FRANCIsco, September l7.-0ne OF
the strangest cases in the history of the
bench has Just been developed in this city.
Several weeks ago Judge Clough, of the
Superior Court, became insane, and was
duly committed to the asylum st Stockton.
There was considerable discussion at the
time in legal circles as to how his place on
|she DsEsz eUsif med thaeb ~
provision of the Constitution or the code
creating vacancy in the case Of q Judge
going mad.
The difficulty was apparently solved by
the resignation OF the Judge, written, as
every one supposed, during lucid interval;
but now it turns out that he was quite in.
sane when he signed the paper. Within
the last few days he has recovered his rea-
son sufficiently to attend to his business,
and he declares he has no recollection Of
resigning his Judgeship.
1t appears that his wife, wishing to care
for him at home, took him from Stockton
with the assent Of the doctors, but without
certificate Of recovery; that after his ar
ElNdl III at bHC Va baS SASan
of the Court, his wife induced him to sign
the resignation, it being understood that she
should retain the paper for certain length
Of time, and in the event Of the Judges re-
covery destroy il, but that if he got no better
she should send it to the Governor. He got
no better, she forwarded it to the State cap
itsl and the Governor appointed Walter
J. Levy Judge in his place.
Clough has since, however, improved, aud
is now sane. The political code of the
State declares that a person Of unsound
mind can make 10 conveyance or other
contracts, uor waive any rights until his
restoration to sanity.
Mrs. Clough tes,ities that the Judge was
insane when be signed the resignation, and
be confirms the statement, by averring, that
he has no recollection OF the circumstance
he is therefore, 10 all intent and purposes,
still Judge of the Supreme Court and there
was no vacancy for Governor Stoneman TO
Gil. Walter Levy is not, and never was
Judge of the Supreme Court, and unless the
lawyers should decide that his acts as such
when he believes himself TO be the rightful
incumbent of the Office are valid, all the
proceedings taken before him are null and
void.

o., Yesterday,
PORTSMOUTH, o., September l7.-The
ninth annual reunion OF the Army OF West
Virginia began yesterday in large tent
accommodating ten thousand persons.
Mayor Turley welcomed the members
General r. B. Hayes, in the absence OF

tinue two days.
Gen. Crook, the President. being un-
avoidably absent, ex-President Hayes acted
as President. He said that the Army of
West Virginia had but little written history
compared with many other societies. Its
services were mainly in remote and noun
famous country, where the newspaper cor
respondent did not penetrate, but neverthe-
less the service to be performed was not to
be underrated. The guardian OF long
time on the frontier, and along railroads
for supplies were no mean service. Near
" all the troops from Ohio and Indiana
had seen their first service in Virgins.
In fact it would seem as thoughitwas great
military training school for those who &C.
conplished so much at later period. To
DAYS proceedings were enlivened by the
presence of q large body Of Grand Army men
from the surrounding posts. Gen. W. 81.
