I T ' THE FINANCIAL TROUBLE. In our press dispatches will be found the latest news in reference to t.hft financial troubles in Wall street and elsewhere. Although some ad ditional suspensions are reported, among them the house of Fisk & Hatch, the condition, owing to the timelv action of the clearing house and the business men of New York and the resumption of the Metropoli tan bank of New York, which main tained confidence, is better to-day than yesterday, and no further fear of any thing like an extended crash is entertained. Owing to the failure of a leading bank in Brooklyn, which failed to meet the demands of deposv tors, a panic was started and result ed in a run on the savings banks in Brooklyn and on some in New York but as all these had ample funds to more than meet the demands upon them, the panic was of short dura tion. At present the outlook is hope ful and the indications are that the worst is over. In a recent issue of the Wilmington Review it was announced that Hon. A. M. Waddell would be a candidate for the nomination from the Democ racy of this district for Congress, subject to the action of,the convention. We don't know what Col. WaddelTs chances are for a nomination, but he has many warm friends in the district who have been devoted to him, and will exert themselves to return him to the seat which he filled for four terms in Congress with devotion to his con stituents and credit to himself. THE A. M. . CONTENTION. A Day Spent in Discnsssng the Camp Meeting Question. Baltimore, May 15. Bishop A. W. Wyman presided to-day at the Afri can Methodist Ep iscopal general con ference. - ite-v. J. U. tjtanbury presented an appeal in the case of Rev. C. H Ureen, -wnicn relerrea to the com mittee on appeals. Green was accused "of immorality and suspended by tne iNew Jersey annual conference. The principal subject before the body was a discus sion in regard to the commending of camp meetings by the general con ference. Rev. Dr. P. Roberts opposed camp meetings, kowever well conducted. Out of a great number of speakers, very few were in favor of recom mending the campmeetings. Rev. L. J. Coppen said if the con ference would allow him he would speak of the various immoralities that were practiced at campmeetings. ; It was difficult to control people where they were not surrounded by the restraints of regular life but it was impossible when they were turned loose in the woods, tie was also opposed to campmeetings on the score of expense. He said that in 24 hours last year the colored people of Baltimore had paid , $42,000 to one Railroad company in this connection, and that too when some of the color ed people were asking charity. The people who were converted in the " wooos were not often seen In church afterwards. P. W. Andrew Brown, of Georgia, said they might have had immoral campmeetings in Maryland and spec ulate on them, but they did not do so in Georgia. He illustrated his remarks with an anecdote that produced great merriment. Rev. Henry Strickland, of Georgia, was not in favor of speculating in campmeetings or those places where people got drunk, but for the regular old fashioned campmeetings he claim ed a future. - Rev. 8. EL Jones, of Georgia, said he had known ministers to make $1,000 a day apiece on campmeetings, and this too in Georgia. z. Rev. J. L. Lee, of South Carolina, said campmeetings were held Bear Spartanburg in that State, and that there were six wagon loads of whis key on the grounds during the entire time of the. camp. Ministers and elders were under the influence of liquor all the time. When a risit ingofficial protested he was assaulted with a club. : A young man was mur dered at one of these campmeetings. He thought that campmeetings had outlived, their usefulness. An amendment offered by Presi dent B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce 1 Uni versity, was adopted refusing to re commend the holding of campmeet ingc but allowing them to continue Rev. 8. P. Mitchell read a telegram stating that the A. M.

Chicago A dispatch to the Jour nal, from Quincy, 111., says: The Union bank of this city failed to nnn its doors this morning. When the Marine bank of New York failed the Union transferred its account to the Metropolitan, and the closing of t.hat bank vesterdav is given as the pRiisfi for the suspension. Roston Hill. Stan wood & Co., brokers, and Boston correspondents of Go ft. Randle & Co., of JNew York, have suspended. The liabilities will probably not reach $10,000. The fail ure is not considered of any signiri cance. It is now stated that the deposit account of F. A. Hawley & Co., at the time of their suspension, amount ed to $250,000, and that their total liabilities are $500,000. mere are rumors that the firm have been spec ulating, but nothing authentic is yet known New York Fisk & Hatch have suspended, xne nrm is composed or A. S. Hatch and Harry J lsk. Hatch was recently elected prtsident of the stock exchange by a unanimous vote. The firm have been the heaviest deal ers in Government bonds on the street, and have generally been con sidered a staunch conservative and thoroughly reliable firm. They have been recognized as the fiscal agents here of the Chespcake oc Ohio Kail road and Elizabethtown, Big Sandy, and Lexington roads, and have car ried heavy amounts of the stock of these roads, while the market has been declining. They have sons and sons-in-law in the stock business. The closing of the doors of the At lantic State bank in Brooklyn, has embarrassed its depositors and caused a feeling of uneasiness among busi ness men. Some of these nave been helped through their difficulties by friends. President Huffer stated last night that the bank would resume business to-day in all probability, as their securities were all good and the suspension was caused by efforts to help the Metropolitan bank. There was a gathering ol depositors this morning at the bank, but they were unable to get their money and were very indignant in consequence. President Huffer assured them that it would be all right and they would lose nothing. He promised to have a statement for the public this after noon. The panic seems to have ex tended to the depositors of other banks in Brooklyn as well, and large quantities of money were drawn out of the Savings banks. Thev were prepared for the run, however, and many of them were by no means dis turbed by the withdrawal of some of their surplus deposits, thus saving thousands of dollars interest which would he due to depositors on June 1 Amongother banks the Brooklyn Savings bank. Dime Savings and South Brooklyn Savings institutes, paid out large amounts of money to depositors. The National -banks of Brooklyn are considered sound, and the with drawal of deposits to-day were incon siderate. mere was a run tnis morning on the Irish Emigrant Savings bank, in Chambers street, New York, about two hundred of the depositors with drawing their accounts. There are 53,565 depositors, most of whom be long to the laboring classes. Presi dent Hoguet said that the bank would gain $1,600 by withdrawals this after noon. Wm. H. Sweeny, banker, of 104 Nassau street, has made an assign ment without preferences. The amounts insolved are probably not large, tie is more or a broker in a small way than a banker, New York There has been a semi- panic m oil in this city. The failure of Fisk & Hatch and the suspension or tne uraarora uank nas created a distrustful feeling. It is rumorei that several heavy capitalists inter ested in oil are in trouble. At 3:15 p. m., oil was selling at 83, but before the close broke at 73, and was offered at 72. No failures have been an nounceo, ana it anybody nas gone under it will be given out to-morrow wnen tne clearings are made. The firm of Fisk & Hatch for 20 years has been prominent in financial circles. They began business in 1862 and soon directed their attention to dealing in government bonds, and in ail tne loans put out by the govern ment during the rebellion they took an active part in marketing the bonds. In the funding operations which followed the close of the war they took a leading part. Fisk & Hatch placed the Central Pacific bonds, also the bonds of branch lines ia Colorada. They subsequently E laced the Chesapeake & Ohio road onds. The Firm & Co. were both carried down in the panic of 1873. Fisk & Hatch finally paid 100: cents on the dollar With interest and began again.' They "were carried down to day by the heavy calling in of loans, the large withdrawals of deposits, the great shrinkage in values and the difficulty or obtaining money even on the best of security. Fisk & Hatch handed the following to an Associated Press reporter this afternoon: c i 'j y LI T- lo our depositors ana oiner credi tors ; It is with great sorrow that we are obliged to announce to you our suspension, which has been brought about bv a combination of circumstances. The long continued decline in the market price of secun- ties, even the best, accompanied oj . l a general weakening of confidence in financial matters, togetner witn heavy drainage of deposits, are tne principal causes or our unrortunate position. We can only request those having claims against us to extend to us such consideration and indulgence and assurance as it may be in their power to grant. Very truly, X lSJi Oi. XTA1VJI1. Rbadford Pa The Zuna Valley Rant rh'H not, nnpn this niornine. It was a correspondent of the Metropol itan, of New York, and the announce ment was made on account of the misrwnsinn of that bank. It was ihousrht best to suspend temporarily. It is thought the bank will resume in a rav or two. A promise nas oeeu marlfi to depositors that they will be paid in full. There was a run on otner banks to-day. but all demands were met promptly, and tne excitement was over by noon. Digest of Supreme Court Decisions. Raleigh News and Observer. Young vs. Rollins. l .

Where a vendor elects to repudiate a parol contract to convey land, the vendee under nis general prayer ior relief is entitled to recover the amount he he has paid under the contract In such case the court properly retus- ed to admit evidence of a parol transfer of the vendee s interest, for under the avoided contract there is no equity to assign ; and if there were, tne assignment must oe in writmj Frice vs. Johnson. Where an estate is defeasible and no time fixed in the will for it to be come absolute, the time of the devis or's death will be adopted, unless there be words to forbid it, in prefer ence to that of the devisee. But it there be an intermediate pe riod between the death of the devisor and devisee, to which the contingency can have reference, then the inter mediate period must be adopted. Therefore where the will provides that John, upon his arriving at the age of twenty-five years, "can take possession of the estate devised to him and do with it as he pleases, but if he dies without issue then to be limited over, and John attains said age and dies without issue; neia tnat tne intermediate periou to be adopted in his attaining the age r-r l , . l - ? i - J of twenty hve years. Alter tnat event, the estate in John became ab solute, and the contingency of dying without issue not happening before that time the limitation over cannot take effect. Lytle vs. Lytle. 1. An appeal will be dismissed on motion if the appeal bond is not jus tified, unless the record shows that the appellee has waived the same in writing. z. An amdavit of a surety to an appeal bond is fatally defective if it does not state that the ami ant is worth double the amount of monev specified in the bond. An Interriew Repudiated. Mr. Jefferson Davis makes emphat ic denial of the correctness of an alleged interview with him, and fur nisned to the Indianapolis Journal by a Mr, Taylor, a prominent lawyer of that city. Mr. Davis says: "A Mr. Taylor came to my house in the night, saying he had called to payhis respects, ne proposed to go to a neighboring village to stav until morning. It was quite dark, and the road was narrow and crooked, and he was invited to remain where he was until morning, when he took the train to New Orleans, to which place ne desired to go. w hether it was in ignorance or in disregard of the obli gations of society that he went off to report a conversation held during the time ne was a guest, is unimportant. It is of some consequence, however, tnaa ne misrepresents my opinions and facts as they were known to me, and therefore Ijam quite sure he is in debted either to his mvention or his defective memory in his statements of remarks attributed to me. For example, he says I thought Gen. Mc Clellan could have entered Richmond if he had pushed on across the Chick .ahominy, and that Gen. Lee thought so too. Gen. Lee did not think so. and had assured me that if McClellan made the attempt he would be upon his heels before he could break the line of defense, which I with a small torce on the south side of the Chick- ahominy would maintain. With a gram of truth, there is a general mis representation of anything I could have said about Grant or Sherman, Meade or mcUlellan." Considering Collector Wheeler's Nom ination. Washington, May 15.

(JockreU tne bin was put immediately upon its pas sage. It had been carefully consid ered by the committee and the only amendments were in the nature of restrictions to guard the expenditure of the money and the liability of the United States. Cockrell added that it was important that the bill should be acted on as soon as possible. borne opposition was shown m tne debate and an effort was made to reduce the amount to half a million dollars, on motion of Sewell, of New Jersey. Blair stated that he had had re cently an opportunity to observe the patriotic interest taken by our fellow citizens or tne ooutn in mis enter prise. He regarded the exposition as one calculated in the highest de gree to develop the material interests and property or the South, lie would regard it as a national loss if it should tail, it would be better to give a million dollars outright than that the exposition should result in a failure. lie hoped the vote for the bill as re ported would be unanimous. Sewell s amendment was not agreed to and the bill was passed substan tially as it came from the House, the amount remaining at one million dollars. A resolution was offered by Mor gan, which under the rule went over one day, directing the committee on Finance to examme into the causes of the failures of such National banks in the city of New York as have suspended business in May, 1884, and report whether said failures have to any and what extent resulted from any violation of the laws regulating their conduct or from certificates upon drafts on bills, their acceptance of drafts or other commercial papers drawn upon them, directly or indi rectly in evasion or in violation of the laws, and whether any of the National banks m New York city have been engaged since July 12, 1882, in thejviolation or evasion of the laws regulating their conduct and that the committee have leave to sit during the sessions of the Senate, to visit the city of JNew York, to send tor persons or papers ana examine witnesses on oath.
