State Bank at Morris.
This institution, for several years before the
of 1845, had been doing but very little of 'what. a
a legitimate banking businesS, and consequent
. earning, nothing for its,stoe:kholderts. Itis true t
there were ;occasional dividends, but these w
iiade, by adding -the interest that had accrued
retested and suspended debts! due the bank, a ,
ailing the same profits earned by the bank, a t
om such marts making dividend;. This,;of cour ,
as exhausting the real capital, so that the st k
as actually; reduced front its par value Of 850 o
about 833 per share. Thus it was in the fall hf
1845, when a party of gentlemen, by representa
t 0114 that the batik was in successful operation, d.
inz a safe and profitable besiness, and that, alt o'
is had sustained - -some losses, vet its stock w s
'orth nearly par, were induced to purchase so e
.45,000 of the stock. (the Bank. itself owing $1
,7
mt.) A change was then made in its officers:
m. N. WoOd was made President, and I : Wm. •
armichael, Cashier. :
, The gentlemen who, by, this arrangetpent, h, d
tleCome the Owners of the Bank, were using cons'.-
erable of the funds of the institution for their o n
PriVate acomirtmodation; but it is believed, witho t
die imposition that had been practiced in selli g
t' them the : Stock, and the representations whi h
t.eceived there as to the capacity of the hank to o
IlusinesS, there would have been little danger o
t
to institution from this cause. Mr. Wood, ie
resident at: this time, being the Surrogate of e
c l unty of Merris, did : not 12tre the time tio der e

In the early part of the month of November, Dr.
Parkman called at Prof. Webster's lecture room, in
the Medical College n North Oruro street, while
the professor was engaged in delivering a lecture
before the student-, ad he waited until the lecture
was over, and the student: had all left. He then
asked Profe:i-sor Webster fur the money due him,
and after some conversation, in which both parties
were' excited, Prof. Webster desired him to wait
until the 23.1 of November, as all the tickets for
the lectures, engaged by the students, had not
been paid for, but woold in all probability be Ly
that time. Dr. Prirkman, it is stated, kit the
buildin' , a good deal rrswited. On Thursday-after
noon, I\ 7 ov. 22, Dr. Paiikinan called' at the residence
of Prof. Webster, in Cambridge, who being absent,
he left word with his Wife that he wtslied to have
her husband call at his (Dr. Parkman's) house the
rext morning. On Friday morning, Nov. 23, the
day after, about 9 o'clock. Prof. Webster called at
Parkman's house,
,n Walnnt-sk, and the doctor
being out, he lift word for him that he would pay
titim, if he would call *t his room at the COl ia g
, soon after 1 o'clock.' pr. Parkman, Prof. Webster
stated, called at the "Medical College - aboai r
o'cloCk, and tray 'paid y him (Webster) $483 64,
which amount was to Ike up two notes and can ,
eel a mortgage. Dr. Parkman gave up the notes
but had not the mortg ge with him. He, however,
said he would go and -meet it. This transaction,

Dec. 4.—The teeth and jaw -bone which were
found in Mr. Webster's grate bare been identified

The body has it stab in the ribs through into the

From the 'Alta Californian Nov. 1.
POurics to CALIFORNIA.—The new Constitution
has been submitted to the people of California. and
is to be voted for or against on , the 13th inst. The
adoption of this instrument will be almost unani
mous, it is believed.
The political fires which have slumbered long
remain pent•up no more. Inconsistent with the
character of the inhabitants, the nature of their oc
cupations and the immediate requirements of Cali
fornia as it may appear, our citizens have in mass
meetings revived political diiiinctions, zealously
advocated extreme if not era meet-urea, and
plunged into the unhesitating. supixirt aptly prin
ciples. at =doming, in many instances. business pur
suits, and wholly forgetful ti the chief desire of
their lives. • •
This heated state of public fdelin.• is confine() al
most exclusively to the district iof San Francisco.
The mass meeting of the friends of T. Butler
Kin., held in this city on the 23,1 was a fire
brand thrown in the inagazinea step from,which
the democratical portion of this community dis
sented, and the following day an appeal to the
party was made ani answered a strong demon'.
Ft rat ion.
This meeting of upwards of 181'n adherents to the
Democratic party, after preliminary measures fm
organization, adjourned, and owthe 26th in-t. al
sembled again. appointed a day for the election by
of a committee to doelde party nominations
The issue of the approaching selection may be de
termined in this district by a 'reCourse to party pol
ities It is hard to say which party is the strongest
in this place—Whig or. Democrat.
There are numerous candidates daily preNnted
for the offices to be filled by therelecticel of the 13th

: POST OFFICE nonnEay.—A diaries M Gearheart
of Rush Township, Northumberland Co., has been
arrested fur abstracting money from the mails pass
ing through the Danville P. date during the month
of October. Sundry letters containing money '&O.,
were missed, and suspicion hirving rested uprm
Gearheart who had been tempontrily employed in
the office and who had suddenly left Ow the We:t.
He was followed and arrested at Mt. Vernon Ohio.
4 .1 - '3,681 of the money wns ilanid-en him.
The above. we glean from the Danville Intent
gencer, which paper promises further particulars
soon.
Pos - rAzz..--The recommendation of Mr. Ctyllam . er,
the Postmastcr General, that the conveance, by
the mails of public documents and letters franked
by members of Congress should be paid flit by a
s,pectal appropriation, seems to be very just and
prop - tr. The item so provided for might well Li
classed among the, contingent !expenses set' each
House. The documents and letters franked ruinti
ally by members of Congress wiuld yield to The
Department, if postage were paid upon them, up
wards of seven hundred thout4nd dollars. This
large sum is actually a tax upturthe private corres
pondence of citizen.,
No man perhaps, Old Zack excepted, has
been more grossly assailed .a the last nine
months,, by the Locofoco press,i than Fitz Henry
Warren, one of the Assistant Postmasters. appoint
ed under the prescnt adnlinisteation. The main
charge against him that he was poor—that be owed
debts that be has never been able to pay. And
quite recently, we see it' exultingly stated in the
Locofoco press that he was arrested for debt while
on a tour id one of the Eastern !States this fall—
Poverty is a great crime in the byes of Locofoco
ism. But now we have an off-s 0 to this. case. A
few days ago, the Hon. Robert Ji Walker, the great
free tratie financier, was arrested fin- a debt of
ti 2,00, in the State of Delaware; and had to give
security before he could go free. r While Mr. War
ren's arrest was a subject for ribald jests, we pre
sume Mr. Walker s case will aronse the whole Lo
cotbco press to an out-pouring of indignation against
the injustice of .the law and the heartless creditor.
