: WEVADA OPFY:. CAL.Section ' Fz. ~ _ Wednesday. July 12, 1876. Bank Meeting. There isa meeting called for the \ Creditors of the Bank of Nevada _ County to-night, for the purpose,of: consultation to determine what ‘is the best course to pursue so that all willget their just dues. Every man who has a claim against the bank shgujd be present. All should go with a determination. to actin} ‘harmony and for the best interest of all. Personal feeling and a spirit of anger should be left at home, All Ads those interested in the bank are out : at sea without rudder or anchor, and : instead of quarreling about how they got there, they should spend their time in devising the best means of _ getting ashore. {There may be a few __*___"_who can afford to lose their demands . ; if by so doing they can-express their Apite, but a majority of the creditors ean not afford toloseadoller. Moderation and cool headed action only, will bring aboat favorable results. We have refrained from saying much ‘about the matter thus far, because it would have done but little good. Hot headed counsel: has prevailed, apd that never yet resulted in good. It is time now for sensible propositions to be advanced, and received by those interested. Personally we have no interest which prompts us to take part in the affair, but we think it can be settled satisfactorily if both parties will throw aside. all hard feeling, and work for the: fair adjustment of the claims. The affairs of the Bank are certuinly in a bad enough condition, but they are not so bad that they can not be adjasted so that all will get their just dues. ee s; We think at the meéting to-night, ps or at some subsequent meeting, the , stockholders and officers of the bank “should be invited to be present with the creditors. Let both parties eome together,and we feel assured the trouble can all be arranged inside a month. The deficiency between the assets which are called good’ and tae demands of creditors is not so large that the stockholders and the friends of the officers cannot put.up collaterals any day to make it up. They are the parties now who can afford relief, and why should they not be _ eonsulted and invited to be present with creditors? Get together and have a fair understanding. We feel aasured such a course will be better than any other, and will-bring about favorable results soonét than ‘any other, It isa fair and equitable adjastment of claims that is wanted'by ereditors, and not liot-headed coungeland purposeless recriminations. Oar columns are open for the fair discussion of the matter, pro or con, and weh ope both parties will, if they have anything to say tending to assist in bringing about an imme. diate solution of the question, use ~ them. Correspondonce, Nevapa Ciry, July Lith, 1876. Ep, Transcrrer.—In yoar Daily of: this morning, are several snggestions in regard»ta the affairs of our Bank, with which I find no fault, but would move fo amend as follows: The liabilities are $205,000; the as= seta aro worth $167,000, leaving a deficit of only $38,000 to enable the Bank to. pay every dollar it owes. Now the thought occurs to me, that the Stockholders are abundantly able to By up this amount and thereby discharge their obligations to the Depositers who intrusted their all to the custody of the Bank. Let those who have made a profit on the business of the Bank meet the present loss—if any there be—which I very. mach doubt, if the seitlement is carefully managed, and not leave their posts of duty, and not Jet the innocent Creditors suffer when a very small per cent. of their individual wealth would: pay up all demands, Itis not business to run off this way. D. Letter of Acceptance, Gov. Hayes has written his letter of acceptance to the Committee of the Republican Nationa! Codvention. Tt ia a'welf written and comprehen. 4 “@ivé document, without the usual ots “rhetorical flourishes or clap-t rap ‘He tolls in a straightforward manner nos what he proposes to do und whut he 4 thinks of the platform adopted byhim, It will be found in-ty morrow's the Convention which bominated . “> Nevada County. The Bank officers bave made out and filed with the County Recorder their inventory. The Transcript ot July 6th, gives the following as a summary of’the sworn statements of its officers, liabilities, $200,975 25; whole am’t of assets — nominal value, $336,403 19; estimated value, $167,710 62. This statement shows an allowance between the 1iominal value and the estimated valae, of $168,692 57, and leaves adeficiency between the gross assets as they estimate thew, and the balance due to all its creditors, of the sum of only $33,264 63. It if now bearly three months since the doors of the Bank closed, -aud the Greditors have finally been able to get‘a look at the sworn inventory,’ that discloses the facts and figures. The Creditors are about to hold a meeting to-night at the Court House. Suggestions have Been made as to how the matter should be. settled, ‘and as suggestions ure in order, I beg leave to. submit one to the Creditors, ask them to look at it, and if they see anything in it, to act upomit, It is simply to say to the officers and Stockholders of the bank: Gentlemen—you have taken time to adjust the accounts of the Bank. By your own showing, there is a deficiency of $33,254 63, You then have a sinkage of $168,692 57. The loss of the $33,264 63 the Creditors will shoulder, but we did not make those debts, nor do we intend to collect them. ‘ You have ap. pointed one of the best men in the State todo so, but we cannot afford to wait until they ure collected. Many of you arerich, and can easily rulse money wpon your own notes. © We will convince you that we arein good “faith. © Pay us poor Creditors one-fourth or one-fifth of what is due according to your own showing. Give us notes payable in two, four, and six months with Williains, Duryea, Niles;* Mills & Churchill upon them, and the Assignee you have-appointed can, and+ we have-no doubt will close the affuirs of the Bank to your entire sutisfaction, if the assets are worth what its officers represent. ‘This proposition certainly is a fair ‘one, and one that the members’ of ‘the late Bunk, both as honestand honorable men, ought to act upon,, W.

He was dt the time of his death 84 years of age. He was born in Mexico about.1798. He fought against Iturbine in 1823, against Pedraza in 1828, and against Bustamente in. 1830. Hé was chosen Presidert in 1833, and became dic. tatorin 1838. The Texans revolted against Santa Anna, who was defeated and taken prisoner at San Jacinto in April, 1836,.by General Houston. He was released in 1837, and lest a leg in the battle against the French in December, .1838. He recovered power in 1841, was vanquished in 1845, but returned in 1846 and became General-Chief. He was defeated by General Taylor at Buena Vista, in February, 1847, and at Cerro Gordo, by General Scott, in April of that year. About this time he Mas again chosen President, but the American army having taken the Capital of Mexico in September, 1847, he went into exile. In 1853 he returned and was appointed dictutor for life. After he had ruled with despotic power for about two years, he was compelled to abdicate in August, 1855, after which he passed many yeats in exile. Soon efter the ‘death of Maximilian, in June, 1867, Santa Anua returned and made an attempt against the Republic, but failed and was taken prisoner. The old General has had a checkered life indeed.

: WEVADA OPFY:. CAL.Section ' Fz. ~ _ Wednesday. July 12, 1876. Bank Meeting. There isa meeting called for the \ Creditors of the Bank of Nevada _ County to-night, for the purpose,of: consultation to determine what ‘is the best course to pursue so that all willget their just dues. Every man who has a claim against the bank shgujd be present. All should go with a determination. to actin} ‘harmony and for the best interest of all. Personal feeling and a spirit of anger should be left at home, All Ads those interested in the bank are out : at sea without rudder or anchor, and : instead of quarreling about how they got there, they should spend their time in devising the best means of _ getting ashore. {There may be a few __*___"_who can afford to lose their demands . ; if by so doing they can-express their Apite, but a majority of the creditors ean not afford toloseadoller. Moderation and cool headed action only, will bring aboat favorable results. We have refrained from saying much ‘about the matter thus far, because it would have done but little good. Hot headed counsel: has prevailed, apd that never yet resulted in good. It is time now for sensible propositions to be advanced, and received by those interested. Personally we have no interest which prompts us to take part in the affair, but we think it can be settled satisfactorily if both parties will throw aside. all hard feeling, and work for the: fair adjustment of the claims. The affairs of the Bank are certuinly in a bad enough condition, but they are not so bad that they can not be adjasted so that all will get their just dues. ee s; We think at the meéting to-night, ps or at some subsequent meeting, the , stockholders and officers of the bank “should be invited to be present with the creditors. Let both parties eome together,and we feel assured the trouble can all be arranged inside a month. The deficiency between the assets which are called good’ and tae demands of creditors is not so large that the stockholders and the friends of the officers cannot put.up collaterals any day to make it up. They are the parties now who can afford relief, and why should they not be _ eonsulted and invited to be present with creditors? Get together and have a fair understanding. We feel aasured such a course will be better than any other, and will-bring about favorable results soonét than ‘any other, It isa fair and equitable adjastment of claims that is wanted'by ereditors, and not liot-headed coungeland purposeless recriminations. Oar columns are open for the fair discussion of the matter, pro or con, and weh ope both parties will, if they have anything to say tending to assist in bringing about an imme. diate solution of the question, use ~ them. Correspondonce, Nevapa Ciry, July Lith, 1876. Ep, Transcrrer.—In yoar Daily of: this morning, are several snggestions in regard»ta the affairs of our Bank, with which I find no fault, but would move fo amend as follows: The liabilities are $205,000; the as= seta aro worth $167,000, leaving a deficit of only $38,000 to enable the Bank to. pay every dollar it owes. Now the thought occurs to me, that the Stockholders are abundantly able to By up this amount and thereby discharge their obligations to the Depositers who intrusted their all to the custody of the Bank. Let those who have made a profit on the business of the Bank meet the present loss—if any there be—which I very. mach doubt, if the seitlement is carefully managed, and not leave their posts of duty, and not Jet the innocent Creditors suffer when a very small per cent. of their individual wealth would: pay up all demands, Itis not business to run off this way. D. Letter of Acceptance, Gov. Hayes has written his letter of acceptance to the Committee of the Republican Nationa! Codvention. Tt ia a'welf written and comprehen. 4 “@ivé document, without the usual ots “rhetorical flourishes or clap-t rap ‘He tolls in a straightforward manner nos what he proposes to do und whut he 4 thinks of the platform adopted byhim, It will be found in-ty morrow's the Convention which bominated . “> Nevada County. The Bank officers bave made out and filed with the County Recorder their inventory. The Transcript ot July 6th, gives the following as a summary of’the sworn statements of its officers, liabilities, $200,975 25; whole am’t of assets — nominal value, $336,403 19; estimated value, $167,710 62. This statement shows an allowance between the 1iominal value and the estimated valae, of $168,692 57, and leaves adeficiency between the gross assets as they estimate thew, and the balance due to all its creditors, of the sum of only $33,264 63. It if now bearly three months since the doors of the Bank closed, -aud the Greditors have finally been able to get‘a look at the sworn inventory,’ that discloses the facts and figures. The Creditors are about to hold a meeting to-night at the Court House. Suggestions have Been made as to how the matter should be. settled, ‘and as suggestions ure in order, I beg leave to. submit one to the Creditors, ask them to look at it, and if they see anything in it, to act upomit, It is simply to say to the officers and Stockholders of the bank: Gentlemen—you have taken time to adjust the accounts of the Bank. By your own showing, there is a deficiency of $33,254 63, You then have a sinkage of $168,692 57. The loss of the $33,264 63 the Creditors will shoulder, but we did not make those debts, nor do we intend to collect them. ‘ You have ap. pointed one of the best men in the State todo so, but we cannot afford to wait until they ure collected. Many of you arerich, and can easily rulse money wpon your own notes. © We will convince you that we arein good “faith. © Pay us poor Creditors one-fourth or one-fifth of what is due according to your own showing. Give us notes payable in two, four, and six months with Williains, Duryea, Niles;* Mills & Churchill upon them, and the Assignee you have-appointed can, and+ we have-no doubt will close the affuirs of the Bank to your entire sutisfaction, if the assets are worth what its officers represent. ‘This proposition certainly is a fair ‘one, and one that the members’ of ‘the late Bunk, both as honestand honorable men, ought to act upon,, W.

He was dt the time of his death 84 years of age. He was born in Mexico about.1798. He fought against Iturbine in 1823, against Pedraza in 1828, and against Bustamente in. 1830. Hé was chosen Presidert in 1833, and became dic. tatorin 1838. The Texans revolted against Santa Anna, who was defeated and taken prisoner at San Jacinto in April, 1836,.by General Houston. He was released in 1837, and lest a leg in the battle against the French in December, .1838. He recovered power in 1841, was vanquished in 1845, but returned in 1846 and became General-Chief. He was defeated by General Taylor at Buena Vista, in February, 1847, and at Cerro Gordo, by General Scott, in April of that year. About this time he Mas again chosen President, but the American army having taken the Capital of Mexico in September, 1847, he went into exile. In 1853 he returned and was appointed dictutor for life. After he had ruled with despotic power for about two years, he was compelled to abdicate in August, 1855, after which he passed many yeats in exile. Soon efter the ‘death of Maximilian, in June, 1867, Santa Anua returned and made an attempt against the Republic, but failed and was taken prisoner. The old General has had a checkered life indeed.
