OF the last report 10 the com ptroller OF the
currency, May 4, 1853 10 active essocia-
tons, with capital and surplus of about
$40 600, 900. The capital stock of the four
associations placed in the hands of receivers
amounted to $500, 900. or these associa-
tions two paid dividends to the amount of
100 per cent, and also interest dividends at
the same rate; one paid S04 per cent and
the fourth 20 per cent. Len the last case 1t
Is probable that further dividends will be
paid. The charters OF many of the no
tional banks will expire within tho next few
years, and although the present law for
State banks provides for security Of circu-
laton, a repeal of the tax, which would per-
NIT it, would not meet with favor through
out tho State, but proposition for the
United States government to issue a
long bond, say 90 years at per cent
os basis Tor bank circulation, would prob
ably receive unanimous support At the
last session of the Legislature, tue laws al
lowing days Of grace were repealed, so that
now note drawn payable in 30 days does
not mean 33 days.
The institutions are carefully managed,
aud in prosperous condition, profitable to
their stockholders, at advantage to the PEG

Returns Show 100 for and 1875 Against
the Army Bill.
BERLIN, June 20. - Reports received from
kitzingen, Schweinfurt and Lohr complete
the returns from 397 electoral constituenc ies
In the empire. The exact numerhl relation
OF the parties in case of a vote on the army
bill, are nevertheless, still somewhat in
doubt, as several candidates who acknowl-
edge allegiance to the larger parties or
groups in other matters, have reserved de-
csion concerning the military demands of
the government.
The situation has been complicated by the
rejection of the returns in five constituent
cies where Irregularities vitiated the cleo
tions. One of those constituencie is Jeri-
chow, in which Count Herbert Bismarck
was supposed to have been elected. II these
constituencies be allowed to the parties en-
titled to them on the face of the returns
the list of 3J' deputies is divided gsner ally
thus among the parties:
Ciericals, 50; social democrats, As; con-
servatves, u; free conservatives, %; ma
tional liberals, so; Guelphs, s; Alsatans,
~; auti-Semites, II; Richter radicals, 80;

OF these 397 deputies. 100 are counted
for the army bill and 49, against it. Thir-

NEW ORLEANS, July 2.-Suddenly and
almost without warning the waters pouring
through the Rescue crevasse, now 500 feet
wide swept down the New River basin last
Tuesday night, carrying destruction and
terror in tLeir path, imprisoning uufortu
nate people in their houses and cabins and
driving them into the carrots, and in many
instances to the roofs.
There many of them are yet hudded, en-
during the penss OF hunger, for they have
no means of cooking food and it will be
fortunate if all are succored before starva-
ton and exposure find victims among them
SO far as reported 10 lives have been lost
The New river country has frequently suf-
fered from overllow but no previous flood
has compared with this in depth, extent or
the suddenness of its coming.
Places unaffected by the previous Gre
vases are now several feet under water.
Capt. Doyal's mouse is tho only ons along
the entire extent of New River settlement
some % miles, with its floor still above the
surface of the flood. Two h.sts of skifTs
have been sent to rescue tho people of the
flooded sections.

is ATGELD A CITIZEN?


pou TO IT.
CHICAGO, June 90. Is John 2. Atgeld
legally governor of the State of Illinois
Is he legally a citizen OF the United States
and arc his acts as governor of Illinois,
particularly his pardon of the anarchists,
legal! These are the grave questions which
are exciting great interest in legal circles
here. Many persons are of tho opinion that
the famous Gov. Boyd case OF Nebraska is
to lie re-enaotei in Illinois.
Gov. Altgeld claims citizenship bv virtue
OF his fathers naturalization. Now the
question arites, was his father nsturaized
and when and where John p. Altgcld
was born in Prussia, coming to this coun
try with his father when boy, end settling
in Mansfield, OHIO. Now the question
arises, when did tho governors father take
out naturalization papers? Was it before
or after his son attained his majority;
These are vital questions, and upon the
answers to them depend tho legality OF every
act of John p. Altgeld as governor Of the
State. Altgeld registers, Eyes, by act Of
Congress-, in answer to the questions
whether naturaiized, and if by act OF Con
gress. There is nothing TO show where the
governors father was neturalized, or when
II the governor was over ri, as is now
claimed, when his father was naturaliZod
his case is parallel TO that Of Gov. Boyd of
Nebraska, and all acts OF the present execu-
tive of the State Of illinois are illegal.
The bject of the legality of the citizen
ship of Gov. Altgeld, as before stated, is be-
ing discussed in legal circles, apd many are
of tie opinion that he is not citizen OF the
United States. A movement is on foot TO
take the matter into court as soon as proper
papers can he prepared and compel the
governor to establish bis citizenship.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Nothing else
was discussed in the clubs and hotels
today but the cowardly. unprovoked
assassination of Mayor Carter II. Harrl-
son, of Chicago. The tragedy was uni
versally deplored, and the wonder was
expressed by many that the murderer
escaped lynching. One of the most
prominent Chfcagoans who is in New
York is Victor f. Lawson. publisher of
the Chicago Record and the Chicago
Daily News. He said at the GiiseY
house this afternoon that Mayor Harri-
son was an extraordinary man, tremen-
dous in strength and personality, and
possessed of what is called great person
al magnetism. He had made politics his
principal business. Although opposed
by all the daily newspapers III Chicago
except his own, he had achieved de-
cided victory in the last municipal cleo
ton, although the moral element was
against him. ION the other hand"
said MIR. Lawson, ''it must be admitted
that his administration had been sue
SNooAdis ultAOuSh llOui AIS dl
standard it could be criticised. 1t was
Harrison'S method to be all things to all
men. Few people had the opportunity
Harrison had of bringing themselves in.
touch with the masses" This, Mr..
Lawson said, was extremely true of his
relations with the foreign element of
Chicago. Asked his opinion of Prender-
paSf thn acSocSin Mr. th
there was little doubt that he was
crank. One of the issues in the last
election was the elevation of the street
railroad tracks, as about one persona
day, on an average, was being killed.
The mayor was supposed to favor this,
but after the election lie had shown
lukeWarmness. AS result of this
there had in South Chicago been con-
siderable feeling, led by a priest. Mr..
Lawson thought that Prendergast
might have been interested in this
movement. In all probability, accord
ing to Mr.. Lawson, Oscar d. Wetherell,
who is comptroller of Chicago, would
act as mayor until successor 10 Mayor
Harrison was elected. Mr. Wetherell is
president of the Globe National bank
ana Republican, who was appointed
by Mr.. Harrison.
S. j. Sherwood, of Chicago, who is at
the Holland house, said that Mayor
Harrison was a man whom he had
never voted for, bat he had always ad-
mired him. He was. aside from poll
Tics, almost universally bonored by the
citizens of Chicago. Mr.. Sherwood said
undoubtedly Prendergast was crank.
and no significance was to be attached
to the murder of Mayor Harrison.
Secretary De Freeste. Democratic
state committeeman, is in favor of ad-
ditional legislation to protect the peo-
pie against cranks. He said that when
a man like Prendergast was in the
presence OF the dead mayors secretary
a few days since he should nave at once
been taken into custody. He would go
further than this, and say that man
who was known to be dangerous
crahk should be locked mp and his
mental condition inquired into.
