WASHINGTON,
June
16.—TUe
closing
hours of Congress to-day were without incident worthy of any special mention. The. business in both houses had been cleared up, and everything proceeded leisurely. Even the great crowds that usually thrbng the galleries and corridors to witness the dying hours of a session were in a large degree absent.
The benate, in a short executive session between nine and ten o'clock, disposed of all the pending nominations, and when the doors were opened there was sharp competition among Scuators to get the floor in behalf of the bills in which their respective constituents were interested. Half a dozen would claim the attention of the presiding officer at one and tho same time* ana there were several little spats between grave Senators as to which was entitled to recognition. It was a bad time for Senators to indulge in speeches, Cockrell tried it, and he was cried down. Then Dawes made an effort, and the other Senators talked him down. Conkling had {his war paint on, and Jas usual with him at the end of a session, he was spoiling for a row with somebody. He tried to get the Malt Bill up, but several opposed it. Then Conkling, with his supercilious air, said he would abandon the effort, and would acknowledge that in the Senate malt stood no chance against talk. Aftef a short executive session, to pass upon nominations sent in to-day, the doors weTe opened. Senator Thurman returned his thanks, and proclaimed the Senate adjourned nine die. Though they had nothing to do, the Senators managed to spend more time in doing nothing than was allotted them, and the hands of the clock had to be turned back fifteen minutes to enable them to adjourn at whatj appeared twelve o'clock. During the executive session the nomination of Charles Pelham, formerly a Republican member of Congress from Alabama, but now an attorney of Washington, was rejected. He was nominated to be Associate Sustice of the United States Court in New Mexico. Pelham was one of the Alabama scallawags, and his former Confederate associates got even with him for deseating the cause of Democracy by rej jecting him.
The closing scenes in the House were not marked with any special or notable feature. The fact is, the House had really nothing to do, and was likely to adjourn before it met. The contention over the sugar question which bad the House in a dead-lock several days, was. reitfovcd by Mr. McLane, who yielded the floor without qualification. Frank Ilurk then got through a J)ill for the erection of a public building at Toledo, not to cost over $250,000. An effort was made next to get at the Speaker's table, which was loaded with bills., The temper of the House wos adverse thereto, and squelched by a decided vote a motion to that effect. Among the last reports submitted was one bo Mr. Carlisle, declaring that Finley. the selfconstituted factotum of Mr. Tilden, was the person who wrote the anonymous letter offering to bribe Representative Springer ta influence his action in the Washburne-Donnelly election contest. From eleven o'clock the time was consumed in attempts to get the Speaker's attention and in dilatory tactics. The session was 9bout ready to peter out on a call of the House, which iiad half been proceeded with, wnen the Speaker inter rupted to adjourn the body sine die.
The present session, after all, has been' one of inaceivity. There has been no tariff or financial legislation of any kind, although when Congress met Senator Bayara convulsed the countiy with his anti-legal tender resolution. The Funding Bill did not even receive the treatment of extended debate. The interState Commerce bill smothered in the Commerce Committee. No legislation affecting'any of the Pacific railroads has been passed. Indeed, aside from legislation of a private nature, and the passage of the regular Appropriation Bills, the "present Congress has done bnt little.

looking to the right or left, that they wall tlx their mind and attention on the object that & proposed to them—of giving fair and equitable interpretation to those important provisions of the Treaty on which the future hopes of Greece, in no small degree, are suspended. May every provision be adopted that can lighten the burden qf government and insure its happy effects, so that it may take its place among those monuments of diplomatic wisdom which will receive grateful recognition, not only of the men and generation of to-day, but of posterity, through ages, to come.*' .• lf
A Berlin correspondent asserts that ia the conference yesterday it was manifest that the-Powers are more or less prepared to accept the original Freuch proposals. So deeply is Tttrkey convinced that the matter will Jiave io- be settled by war with Greece that armament is being vigorously pushed in southern Albania. A military conference of leading officers was recently held at Peru,, which debated measures of resistance in case of necessity. A blue book has been issued containing the correspondence on the eastern question. A dispatch from Minister Layard to Eftrl Granville^ gives a full exposure of the ills and miseries of the Ottoman Empire. It says Turkish fpinion is weary or Euro pean interference and reforms, and longs tor a Government by Mussulman ideas.
It is reported that at the conference Baron Haymerle was questioned as to whether Austria would undertake to carry out its decisions. #He answered negatively. It said a majority favor tho ccssion of Kaniuka to Greece.
COLUMBUS,
Otnd., June l6.—'The three
Stark County murderers, now under sentence of death in the Canton Jail, are to be hanged on Friday, June 35th, next week. Their names are Ohr, Mann and Lammet. The father of Mann is still making an effort to get him respitted on the plea of insanity. Governor Foster is absent in New York, and he will remain two weeks, or until after the execution of all three of the murderers, so there is but little probability of Executive interference in favor of any of the trio petitions, and letters keep pouring into the Governor's office in favor of one or the other of the condemned, every day. ^Application has also been made for the commutation of tho. death sentence imposed on Monroe Robinson, the Darke County murderer. There are now eleven murderers awaiting the execution of the death sentence. The Governor has been importuned t» interpose his prerogative in each|case, suvo lhat of the Wooster murderer but the probabilities are that they will all swing, including even Price, who was respited three weeks ago. According to the present arrangement, Price will swing July 9th.

in pro

it concerns that the interest of Englisi

On this day representatives of the great Powers of Europe are met together in the Capital of the great German Empire for the purpose of considering in what way they may promptly rive effect to the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin, and prove that the assembled wisdom and might of Europe speaks to the world in accents that denote reality, and are destined to have practical effect I entertain a fervent wish, united with a rational confidence that it will be fulfilled, that the representatives of the Powers who are thus assembled may take In hand the important task committed to them in the spirit of equity and justice, without respect to persons aad without
June 16.—The
rumors on which yesterda3r's dispatches were bised concerning the insolvency of tbe First National Bank'of Brattl«boro arc mere thwi realized, although thprough|investigati»n had not begun at 2 o'clock. Enough is already khown to warrant the statement that the loSs will reach upwards of a quarter of a million dollars through the forgeries of President S. M. Walte,. who has undoubtedly left the country, and, as the directors believe, has taken a large sum of money with him. How much can only be determined .by searching investigation, which will.be begun on the arrival of Bank Examiner Hehdee, and who will act as receiver for the present.
The forged paper includes the Connecticut River Railroad for about $50,00»l Frederick Billings, $20,000 Tretior W. Park, $30,000 Ly«n & Healy, of Chicago, $20,000 Taunton Locomotive Works, about $12,000 C. J. Anndon, Hinsdale, $15,000 Vcrmilye & Co., of New York, some $75,000, and others whose names will be made public as the investigation proceeds. How much of this,paper has been used by Walte as collateral upon which lie may have raised large amounts for individual use the directors arc unable to say, but rumors that Springfield and Boston banks have been victimized in this way are current.
The bank was chartered in 1852 under the name of tho Windham, County Bank acd commenced business a year later with N. B. Williston, President, pnd Silas M. Walte, the present defaulter Cashier. Prominent men in the county were made Directors, and it *ras run under a State charter for about ten years. It was tbe first bank in the county to change to a National Bhnk, which give it a great adramagc over othar banks in the vicinity for a time, being for several yeats a Government depository. It continued to retain the confidence of the
ublic until 1872, when it was said to been robbed of a large amount of Government bonds, belonging mostly to special depositors. Suspicion was aroused over the manner of the robbery, which was in midday, since which time confidence has been more or less shaken, until stock was finding a forced sale at 85 per cent, although numerous statements made it patent that the stock should bring more than par. At a special investigation April 23u the loans and discounts were pi aced at $361,119. eapi tal stock $800o,000, surplus $57,000, undivided profits $7,111 and individual deposits, $61,112.
It appears that of the latter the Vermont Sayings Bank had between $80,000 and $40,000. This statement was sent to the stockholders, and being attested by the directors, the suspicioas were temporarily satisfied. Since January, 1878, Waite has been President of the bank. Efforts were made to have a cashier appointed, bnt Waite has insisted that none was needed and the directors allowed him to have his own way. So year after year he has practically run the institution without dictation. One by one for six years the directors have refused to qualify, and the result has been, yearly changes have taken place until Watte had found a set of men, some of whom are widely known and esteemed for their honesty and business capacity, who had not time or disposition to attend to the affairs of the bank. The corruption is believed to date back more than ten yeais, when it is alleged a brother of President Waite got into the financial irregulations in a Chicago bank or insurance company, which it was said were straightened out

The directors hot being particularly conversant with banking, accepted them as grooi that all was nght, and not until two or throa weeks since did they attempt to ac quaint themselves with lite worth of these securities. •bout this tinaeBxaminer Hen dee.
Two of the members claim to have never qualified. Suits have been brought against these Directors by the stockholders. who claim dereliction of duty. Several stockholders are known to have lost their all by the collapse, and the feeling' against the Directors is very strong. It is believed that some of the Directors are also financially ruined, and that another couuty bank suffers by the loss.

MrKCtK IsL.,JJune 16.-—News "of a very serious affray which took place between to Royerton men on Monday evening, has just been received here. Royerton is situated tux miles north of tills city. On Monday Macv McLain, Sum. Coohron and John Cannady, residents of Iloyerton, came to Muncie in
rays
-a
spring wagon.
During the day McLain, and Co ohr an be came somewhat "intoxicated, ftfid in the evening started home. When near & Covered bridge on the turnpike McLain and Coohran began Quarreling. They had al been good friends, but fired
by
wlusky they soon became very angry. Cooliran jtimped oilt of tlie wagon ftnd said something to McLain, which made him so hot that he also got out of the wagon, and approaching Coohran knock ed him down. He got up, but McLain brought him to grass another time. The same dose was repeated, when Coohran, it is said, drew a knife and commenced cutting McLain into beefstakes. The blood flowed freely and Coohran was get ting his woik in admirably, when he was separated from his almost dying victim by Cannady.
Cochran, after the affrav ended and lie saw what he had done, nelped load MeLnin into the wagon, when he was hauled home. An examination revealed eleven deep cuts in different parts of the person of McLain. A very deep wound is in his hip, while those in his face, neck and body are horrible.
Physicians soon pronounced the wounds dangerous and the recovery of McLain la very doubtful. A warrant was issued, Mia Cochran was arrested and taken before Esauire White, at Royerton, who placed his bond at $800, which he could not give. Preparations were being made to conduct Cochran to this city for incarceration, and while the constable was saddling his horse Cochran sprang upon the back of a spirited steed, standinghard y, and dashed away. After pursuing him several miles the constable gave
tbe chase, and Cocoran is still at large. Mac McLain is a blacksmith in Royerton, is about forty years of age, and has a family. Sam. Cochran is a younger w^n about thirty five years old, amlTSkewiste has a wife and children. The affair is the mora lamentable from the fact that both men were warm friends, and the affray is only the outcropping of a drtmk. McLain is willing to forgive Cochran, and continue as mends. ,,
The last account from the home of McLain was that his condition is very precarious, and the physician* think his a hopeless case. Should he die Cochran wili no
