He had never ridden in au ambu- j
la'nee, never was absent from a single j
fight in Wb-ich his brigade an 1 regi- j
meut were engaged, and had suffered j
two terms of imprisonment The
r4an ; therefore who challenged his
ldjalty to the Confede aey in the
ppt, did 'so with the satno hazard to
hjs veracity as if he were to challenge
his loyalty 1o the Union today. Tiiis
was not a pleasant eliscussion for him.
E(e was sbrry that the crippled fiol
djers of ;the South was not repre
sented here by some one abler than
hirnself, and wa3 antagonized by
tliopfi whfi nhnnld liivp fctnod bv
j
hm. He represented the ex -Cou-
fekleratcs who were misrepresented
byotbetfrwho would go home and
clfiim to be their best friends plead
ing patriotism at Washington: aud
tailking Confederacy at home, In
this connection he made an allusion
(riot understo d by the reporter) to
Bodii Confederate officer inducing his
rnjen to exchange Confederate money,
$$ for S3 of like issue. And yet the
Senator from Connecticut (Havley),
h paid, had congratulated his; col
league from Viaginia on his states
manlike spaecu. He (Riddleberger;
wjis riot here as a persis ent Confede
rate he was not here to ask for any
otiher terms than those which had
been accorded to him years ; ago.
But he was here to answer every ac
cusation of the kind which he found
iq the Congressional records against
njjeu who had been Confederates., and
who had tlared to express their; own
jijdgtnenfc and to have the courage of
their awn convictions. He could not
understand why three Confederate
generals and one Fede-al general
should oppose the bill.
lain Blair defended the principles
of; his bill which he ea:d he had in
troduced after a prolonged rellection
and on the same afternoon that he
hjtd had a con eraaiion ',vith a
crippled Confederate soldier. The
bill was not (as some seemed to
tllink) an' entering wedge to the pen
sioning of Confederate soldiers. It
was simply a bill embracing an act of
humanity of humanity blended with
magnanimity, and which be thought a
geat nation might well exhibit so far
a$ the public policy was concerned.
Ije believed the proposition io be a
wase" one. He had received . very
many letters of thanks and communi- j
cations ffom ex Confederate soldiers j
6tnco the bill had been intro
duced. He calculated that there
Were: at least a quarter of a million
of ex-Confederate Foldiers still living, !
of whom perhaps from 50,000 to GO,- j
0Q0 were without arms or legs. These
men fcould not be pensioned; nothing
culd be done for them by the Fed
eral government except in some indi
rect manner. Ever since the close of
the war ex-Confederates had
been appointed to office, not only un
der the Democratic administration
bjut under the Republican adminis
tration. He supposed that O'J out of
eyery 1O0 appointments to civil ser
vice made in the South were of men
who had been disloyal during the
vyar, and it was too late for hia Re
publican friends to Bay that it intro
djucedany novel doctrine onto the Sen
ate. Ho wondered whether if Lin
coln occupied a seat in the Senate, or
itj Grant or Sherman or Sheridan oc
ebpied seats in it if they would object
to the second reading of the bill. '
Mr. Edmunds-opposed the second I
reading of the bill, And remarked
t int in most parliamentary bodies in j
the civilised countries the chief dis-
chssion on the broad merits of a bill
takes place on the question, shall the ;
bill. bo read a second time? There j
Tusr therefore, on a measure of such
imprtanco no want of courtesy in
taking the sense of the Senate on the
tjuestion of ordering a bill to its kcc

investigations were made, when proofs
of the defalcation came fast enough.
It was learned that the defaulters
had on Saturday evening taken from
the express office $20,000, the bor
rowing of which from several other
banks they had previously negotiated,
and had had the amount sent so as to
arrive here at the proper time to suit

show that they had telegraphed in
numerous directions and had all
money sent in which they could offi

have been received at tha bank since
their departure which it is supposed
they intended to get.
It is estimated that they carried
with them about $12,000 in cash, be
sides valuable negotiable papers to a
large amount.
TUE AMOt'ST Or DEFALCATION
is tha subject of the most random
speculation and utter uncertainty. It
is almost a certainty, however, that
the defaultots have made a clean
sweep and left comparatively nothing.
Our reporter was given various es
timates by membe s of the board of
directors of tho bank, the least of
which was $200,000 and some of
which placed the amount beyond
300.000 Nothing at all accurate
can be ur. ived at, however, until the
affairs of the bauk have been legally
examined.
It is stated that there is reason to
believe that tho defaulters have teen
MACfltlXG TUEIK I'LANS
for at least six months past.
Our reporter was reliably informed
however, that the affair was probably
precipitated by the fact that a meet
ing of the board of directors had
been appointed to take place Monday.
It seems that there had recently been
Borne slight irregulariiies in the affairs
of the bank which had come to the
notice of the board of directors and al
though there wasnot sufficient ground
to suspect ahy positive mis manage
ment on the part of any of the
officials, the-directors considered it
their duty to make some investiga
tion and had notified the officials that
6ueh would be dono on Monday. It
is believed that tho defaulters were
making their arrangements to ab
scond a month or two hence, but tho
appointment for a meeting of the di
rectors is supposed to have brought
matters to a crisis.
It-is rumored that Mcnsi. White
and Cross have recently ben "gag
ing tn heavy ; speculation, uud navmg
met with disaster, "skipped" to es
cape the crash which they feared
wouM come. ; There ih ei not i-eem
to be much Ground for this ii e.-i.

but our people have manifested a

which is most commendable. Business

the noor.s closed.
Ou Monday night, as soon as the
fact of the defalcation became rea
sonably certain, a conference of the
board of directors was held aud a no
tice to tho public was prepared and
furnished the News and Observer for
publication, declaring that the doors
of the bank would be closed. Ac
cordingly tho doors were closed yes
terday morning and the following no
tice was placed on the doors: "Bank
closeel until further notice, by order
of the board of directors."
Groups of people were seen to col
lect about the doors of tho bank at
intervals yesterday morning, but the
place was not crowded by excited
masses of people as is usually the case.
All seem to take 'the, disaster
with calm resigua-ion and fortitude.
As will be seen by a telegram from
Washington, published in another
column, Bank Examiner Tate has been
ordered here to take charge of tho
bank, and i3 expocted to arrive here
this morning. Thorough examination
will be made 'by him and tho exact
status of affairs will be ascertained.
Manv entertain tho hope that the
condition of tho bank is not as bad as
supposed, and that depositors will be
reimbursed at least ia part.
WHAT f'EOl'LE SAY.
A geutlennu remarked yesterday
that ho was especially impressed with
the cruelty of tho crime perpetrated
by the defaulters ia that so many of
tho people they have robbed are poor
and dependent and must suffer actual
want as the result of their loss. A
large number of people are thus
brought to the door of poverty and
desolation in " consequence of the
transgressions of two selfish and
heaitless men.
A gentleman who is an expert in
banking matters .yesterday remarked
that ironi what he had been able to
ascertain in connection with the affair
tho scheme was one of the most
shrewd and deeply laid that he had
ever known. He said the parties cer
tainly understood their business and
played their game well. He thought
all evidences indicated that tho plan
had been systematically laid for sev
eral months pst
Cashier C. H. Belv u, of the Ral
eigh National Rank, stated that if
there was any chango in the general
routine of the day's business, there
had been more money taken in than
usual and less paid out, aud that he
felt confident that the affair would
havo no disastrous effect whatever
upon any of the other banks.
Cashier J. G. Brown, o:' thr Citi
zen's National Bank, repoted th:: : e'
iug of depo&itois through the day h
perfectly contid nt. They mndo ci -posits
as usual, and some "eve n offered
to lend the bank funds if it, wo de
sired. Deposits were made as usual dur
ing the day at the Savings Bank, and
seme who seemed to be nervous anil
called for 'heir money, after finding
that they could draw it without any
trouble declined to take it.

One of our irrepressible town wits

expene j osterday evening. He said
he ma le a deposit of S2U0inthe bunk
Sam-day evening and when
loiuir so
observed .Mr. Cross standing by eyeing
tkomouey as i.e handed it over.
Since ihe defalcation has been made
knowu bo savs he lemen.'bers that
the bank president laid an expression
on his fa'-e as if to say: '"That will
just about take White au 1 myself to
Canada.''
A prominent citizen said he had
negotiated for he purchase of stock
in the bank t-rTSaniount of $10,000
and went ta the bank Monday morn
ing for the j urpose ci elosing the
ti am iicLton, but, finding Mir. White,
the cashier, not there, he postponed
tho ma ter.
A littlc ehild is reported to have ciieJ
pitifully "at school all day yesterday
because she said her papa .'had lost
al! he had by the failu e of the bank.
We heard of several instances of person-;
redeeming checks which they
had given on the broke-u bank.
A gentleman who was-' leaving
tho city Moudiy nigbt had
left several hundred dollars to
be deposiicd in the State Na
tional Bfink on the following day, but.
before his tr.iin left he hear4 rumors
of the impending crash and came
hurridly, br.ck to the Y'arboro House,
and left orders for the money to be
held.
We heard of one gentleman who
suffered h avy loss and who seemed
utterly crushed under his calamity.
A number of people from various
di ections who were interested in the
bank lloeked into the city, on the
trains yesterday.
The affa-lr is the severest
shock that our community
has felt ia many years and wo
fear will result in serious financial
disaster :to many of our people. Both
of the defaulting officials have al
ways been considered among the
most honest and reliable men of the
community. Mr. White has been con
nected with the bank for thirty years
past, and is a brother of Mrs. M. C.
Williams who is the largest stock
holder of the bank. Mr. Cross was
also a son-in-law of Mrs. Williams.
The River and Harbor Bill.
Washington, D. C, March 27.
The river and harbor bill was com
pleted in committee toelay and will be
reported to the House Thursday. It
makes an aggregate appropriation of
Sl9,-i32,!TS3.73, and is tha largest bill
of the kind yet brought in! Chair
man Blanchard says the bill of 1882,
which was the largest up to that,
time, aggregated 18,123,000; but
since then many new projects of im
provement have been presented. The
demands of the country for river and
harbor improvements have increased,
and accordingly the present bill is
larger. The bill for last year, which
carried nearly 10,000,000, failed to
become a law, and honca the present
bill is really for two yeais. He also
says that there are no canal projects
in the present bill and no provision
is made for the improvement of the
Washington flats because of the un
settled title to the land.
While there are a number of small
appropriations made, the committee
confidently asserts there ia not one
which ia not sustained by tfce engin
eer's reports. In making up the bib
the committee hai had re.'orence to
the commerce to be benefited by each
appropriation, and the smaUer appro
priations are oftentimes for streams
which penetrate the sections of coun
try where there are no railroads and
where the people are dependent on
these water-ways for access to the
markets. The larger appropriations
for rivere in the bill are : Mississippi
river, from the mouth of Minnesota
river to the Gulf, $3,385,000; Mis
souri river, 000,000; St. Mary's Hver,
at the Falls and Hay Lake channel,
1,500,000; Ohio river, $515,000; Ten
nessee river, $265,000; Cumberland
river, $210,000; St. John's river, $150,
000; Black Warrior river, $150,
000; Cape Fear river, $100,
000; "jarn-cs river, $225,000;
Ycrk river, Virginia, $.30,000; Chin
eateague, bay, $50,000; Great Pedee
river $20,000; Sante river, $21,000;
Coosa river, Georgia, $G0,000; Pasca
gonla river, Mississippi, $27,500; Y'a
zoo liver, $32,000.
The following are the more impor
tant harbor items in tha South :
Charleston, $350,000; Cumberland
sound, "MSI 12,000; Mobile, $250,000;
New Orleans $200,000;ArkansasPass,
$100,000; Norfolk, $00,000, (in addi
tions to $108,000 of a previous ap
propriation made available); Beau
fort, N. C, $35,000; Wineyah, S- C,
$100,000; Savannah, $90,000; Pensa
cola, $35,000; Key West, $25,000;
