The Firet Ward was called, and the rival deleza- tions nominated O'lirien and Dave Thornton. From this momient until the adjournment, n spaceof over two houre, the room resemblea fhat which, vide Ingersoll, 'existeth not. Howling, threatening, ehonting, and wwearinz, the rival mobs made the air hideous, O'lirien withdrew, and Billy Whalen protested vengefully. Mike McDonald was omni- vresent, and bis rang vociferated a loudly as did the followers of Thornton. Mr. Tuley wanted to now whether Mike was a delezate, :na declared that this was an iswue betwween Mike McDonald and the Democracy of Cook County, which he wanted the Conventian to eettle then snd there, He was ready to let the Convention mame the comumit.ce- man, but this the Chair decided out of order. The nomination of O'lirien was put by the Secretary and carried. but O'Brien would not serve, and tae crowd howled and screamed ngain. Then the McDonald faction nominated Joe Mackin, and Merritt agam offered Thornton's name. ' A viva voce vote wae taken, but the Chair confessed his inabiiity to decide, and the roll was called in a scene of the wildest confusion. There Wi @ row over the vote of nearly every man, 8 double-distilled lorty-horse-power quarrel over the Sixth, and a battle-royal over the country districte. McDonald and his_ benchmen circulated through the room, and Mr. Tuley shout- ed himeclf hoarse in his impassioned demands to know whether Mike McDonuld owned the Conven- tion ornot. At last it was decided that Mackin was the man by a vote of 86 10 64. Fotlowlnzis the Committee as constituted: First Ward, Joseph Mackin; Second, N, B.

TUE SOCIALISTS, Some prominent Democrats sought to make strange political bargain yesterday afternoon, and were heavily **sit down™ upon. Ex-Ald. Corco- ran, Frank Agnew, and scveral others, whose names were not given, callca at_the headquarters of the Socialistic Labor Party at No. 7 Clark strect, and beld a conference with the members of the Ex- ccufive Committee of that organization, during which they proposed to join the Soci and swallow their platform entire if they would com- bine with the Democracy and gend ‘s defegation to 8 meeting to be held at the Palmer House Taesday, where srrangements would be_made that would be cntirely satisfactory to the Sociali The Commitiec of the latter cmphatcally gave tne sentlemen to understand that the duv ‘when the workingmen could oe bouzat over to old purties Dy political tricksters who had uot u tithe of sin- cenity about them hud passed, anu they haa deter- mincd to. run their own' volitieal ma:line, and belicved the workingmen were as fully capable of runnme it in their own be- bolf as others were for them. —The bemo- cratic representatives wanted the Socialists t0 underetand that the silk-stocking faction of their party had lost its xrip, and tne plebeians, such as fore them, hud assumed the direction of . and could strefch their politicalconsciences without fear of becommy cowards, and hob-nob with their brethren of Ui tin-Dail brigade. us they called them.

Mr. T C. Fonsha offered the following resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopted: That eighi hours +hall be IL}’J! worklng day, that 4 penalty for the violation of the same sball b2 forced.

The mat- ter of eecuring a hall for the future meetings of the Club was discussed. and finally the whole &ub- tect was referred to D. L. Gile, of the Excontive Commitiee, Wwitn powerto act. The Sccretars was instructed ' to communicate _the former action of tne Club, calling for cstablishinz a miut here, to Revresentative Aldricn, ssking him to labor in that intercst. R. H. White, the late caniidate for Alderman, then addressed the Club in a sem] humorous'spirit, waicn was well received. D. K. “Wenney followed ina few remarks, and the Club adjournea subject to the call of the Chair, A few memuers of the Republican Club of the Fiftcenth Wurd met at Folz's Hall, corner of North avenue and Larrabee sirect, lakt even.nz, but it apneared that toere was mo bumness before the meeting. and the Clubadjourned subject to call. The VFourta Ward Kepaolican Clud was au nounced to meet at the armory of the Sixth Lattal- ion, on Indwna avenue, between Twenty-mnth and Thirtieth_streets, but there were very few present. Mr. Hammond presided. Nome informal talking was done by Mr. Bullard and others, and, owimng o the paucity of numbers present, it was decided to adjonrn and meet ngain Monday night, Woen 1t was hoped there would be mure oui. The First Ward Club held a deaidedly lively ‘meeting Just evening n the Union League Hall, in she Grand Pacific iotel. The question of select- iny 3 Committee on Nommations of Uflicers was vhat kept the atientiou of the meeting. Maj. Pratt moved that a Committee on Nominations oo aopointed, and named them in his resojution, with instructions to report at the next meetme of the Club. To this Mr. Naber moved an smendment that the Chair name the Committee, Then there were about a dozen more motions, which showed that the Club was a bouse badly alvided sgainst itslf. John Wentworth gave the Cluo a very senzble lecture, whick scemed to bave fallen np- on barren ground. Finally, amidst the greatest confusion, the Cib adjourned, the question being Tatd ov Auter the adjournment 3 number of sore-heaas tried1o vet up another mest- The Central National, Of all the National Banks which have failed in this city there are none which made a worse show- ine than the Central. The day sfter the bank closed, a gentleman took a peep through the as- sets, and declared that the baak would pay dollar for dollur, from appearance of the assets which ke saw, and that something would be left to the stockbolders. Dut that fair vision changed within twenty-four hours af:er Mr. Glover took posses- sion of the remains as Receiver. Upon entering into his postion, Mr. Glover was as- surea that he would find 8 very easy pluce and everything all right. Since Mr. Glover took caarze of the remains he has paid a divigend of 25 per ceat. The prospect for the future is not very grand. Of paper tkat will probubly be col- Jecied these remains but $32,000 in the Recelver's hands, and_the bank has a liability of $40,00 on protested and discounted paper. There 13 on hand $200,000 of avsolutely worthless paper, gnme of which has been due eince 187+ Then there is $100,000 of paner. which, in its present condi- tion. is wholly worthless. 'Then there is $100,000 ‘more which is in bankruptey, having been bronght into_court either just before or immedintely after the bank closed. ~ W, F. Enaicott owes the bank upwards of §70,000 of borrowed money, which he used upon himself ere he acparted. The bad paper came into the bamk through Ecdicotr. " He would take these wild-cat notee and loan 40, 50. or 60 per cent on them and pocket tne oalance upon their full face himeelf, an« thot was the way he made 8 great deal of muney. Tl capital stock of the bank was §200,000. Of this Lndicotcowned §57,500, which he hypothe- cated to the pank. contrars to law. Tnere are sunary persons who own stock, incinding Endi- coLt’s brother, to tae amount of 300,500, from whom it is beheved nothing can be recovered. The remaiuing $75,700 is beld py good and re- sponsible parties. The preseat ~ assets will met about 15 per cent more, and that in_apout four months, when the cow will have ocen milked dry. The stockholders will be compelled to_contnibute about 75 per cent more. And that is now the matter stands. Mr. Glover has apprised Compuroller Knox of all the facts, and be 1is awaiting reply in order to com- mence suit against the responeible stockholders. From all the facte in Mr. Glover's possession, he believes that the entire capital stock of tac pank was cxhansted over fourtcen months before it closed, and that it was woolly due to the misman- sgement of W. F. Endicott. ~ The insutation was Tiin more like 3 one-horse pawnshop than a bank. and some of the pledres now in Mr. Glover'e cus- tody woutd make 3 horse lanzh. “And thatis the resent condition of the defanct Central National ank ; & Dol very pleasing one to the depositors. A bill was filed vesterday 1n the United States Circuit Court by Rhoda B. Croukhite against 0. R. Glover, Receiverof the Central National Bank, which 6hows that the President of the bank_had. befure his sudden departure, been culling judic- jously from the sccurities held by the bank to meet his individual expenses. The complainant says that when the bank fafled it beld, amone other 3. ! asscts, o note of Asron M. Cronkbite, e hus- rand, for 39,154.15, and another for ‘52, 3 &gned by him as surety, and secured by 160 res of the Commercial Iotel Company, worth £10,000, and 2, 000 ebares of the Hlans Peak 3tin- ing Company, worth about £60,000, or about 30 centson the aoflar This stock al‘lrhclon:nd to her, but was pledged for her husband's notes. The notes foll due laxt Thureday, and Cronkhite weat to the bank and offered 1o pay them. The Re- ceiver was willing enongh to take the money, but £a1d hie could not return all the stock, as 140 shares of the Tlotel Company stock and 500 tharcs of the mining stock were msmg from the bank vaults, and had never come to his hands. Cronkhite therefore refused to pav the money, and now fles 2 bill asking for an account and a_dccree compeli- inz the bank to oflsct_his debt against the missing stocs, and that it may be compelled to pay him the difterence over and above the amount dueon the notes. THE FIDELITY. A rather @ingy-lookinz vill, which bore marks of ing been carred in rome onc's pocket fora & or two, was filed in the Superior Court yes- terday afternoon by Elijah M. Haines, against V urpin, Receiver of the Fidelity Savines Bank. He says that while attending Lo certain business tn Sprinizield in 1871, b ¢ received an urgeut letter from hix brother, J. C. laines. asking him to buy up 3 bank charter for him, a3 was very anxious to open n vank here. The general law then in force did wmot give great advantages to eav- ings banks, so “that J. C. Imnes wanted one organized before 1870, ~when the new constitution went into force. After great dig- ging amons dusty special laws, E. M. Haines found Lwo charters which his brother thought were the best he ever saw. The charter of a bank at Galesburg was fnally bought, and by the valuable aid of E. M. Haines a1 Sprinzfield, again the nec- cseary legislation was sccured to adapt i to the latitide of Clucago. Al thie took time, and it wna agreed that E. M. llmnes should receive come of toe <tock of the bank, and o remuncrative position in it a8 compensation. When the charter of the Farmery' & Mechanics' Bank of Galesburg was bought, E. M. Haines, C. J. Iaines, Jared Gage, J. C. Haines, ‘and F. . Tobey were made the new corporators, and_they pave the old owners of the chacter an indemnifying bond in the sum of $30. . 000, ~to save them harmless from’ any hability as tormer. stockholders the bank. ~ Complninant then received $12,000 in #tock, and the position of attorney of the bank for ten years at $2,500 a year us his compensation for his services. “Fuouns 1. Bryan subsequently became a stock- holder, and a strons pressure was brousht 10 bear to indrice complainant to give up is comfortable ten-yesr contract ag atiorney, on the ground that it would injure the bank if it became known that such contract was in existence. _Complainant re- fused utteriy to listen to such & proposition, to hts brother's creat disgus; Aftera while another attemot was made for a simiiar purpose, which proved more successful, and complainant wus induced (o give two notes for $15,000, the nominal value of his stock, secured by trust-deed_ou real estate, J. C. Haines representing that the bunk butlding and vaults had more than used up the capital stock, and that he mignt wish to use these securities in the future for the benert of the baak. At the same lime com- plainant denied he owed the bank anythinz. ~Soon after he upplica:to J. C. Haines to have a credit en- tered in his favor for the amount of ealary he hud carned, but the latter dechned on the plea that he did not wish_such entriex to appear on the bank Looks until after it had grown stronger. Just here complainant digressed mto a moving tale of bis orphinn oyhood. and_how his brother made i first §10,000 throush him, etc., which is regretful Iy omitted on account of the wnability of TiE Tris- UNE to publish two supplements this morning. Complainant then resumes the turead of his story, by suying that J. C. Haines began, after o time, to show alarminz signs of nepotism, and cer- tun *“amoitious youns men ** of **no pecuniury seaponsibihity bezan fo try to wet control of the ban, and 10 acvise that E. 3, Haines stould oe ousted from hix comfortaole position. Finally. in January, 1376. compluinani yielded to the iong- contunied preseure and offered to resizn. J. C. aines, after some consultation, accepted it, but unnecessarsly wounded the tender feelines of his brother, as tne urotaer charges, by ** epeaking to your orutos- hurshly.” Sutisfuctory arrangements Were then wace for the cancellation of com- plunant’s trust deed and notes for S15,000, for tue surrenger of the tem-year con- tract, and, in short, for the settlement of all the matters belween the two brotuers, bt Joh, on one pretest or another, declined to carry out the agreenient, any after considerable talk and tome threats complamant prepared a bill to en. force s rignts. The crisls of last summer just “then came, und complainant fearing to precipitate matters deciaed to wait awhile before pushing his claim. At the time he sold ont or surrendered his stuck it"was worth 150 cents on the dollar or 50 per cent premium, according to_the sworn annual certiticates or statement of the bank for 1875, The Receiver of the bank has entered up judg- ment fur S5 inst c.mplainane aud J. C. Haines on a note which was canceled by the aercement of 1670. The notes which were thus canceled were the two for S$15,000. spove mentioned; one for 3,000 signed by complainant; two for $1,000 cach made by the ilinois Car Com: vany, and indorsed by complainant; one for 33,500 maae by cowplainani and one Hsmmond; one for $300 made_by.

But it was expressly agreed that all claim on onesi de and the other ehould be can- celed. The Receiver, however. threatens to_pro- ceea to collect some of these mutes, and E. M. Tlaines therefore fivs his bill asking for an account a3 to ull matters between the buni or J. C.

St. Louss, April 6.—The argument in the casc of the Union Trust Company of New York against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South- ern Railway, for the forcclosure of the mort- gage, which has been in progress in the United Statcs Court for several days, closed to-day, and the Court granted untd June 1 for tue tiling of bricfs and abstracts of evidence. deciston in the case cannot, therefore, be reacl ¢a ull after that time.
