GARFIELD ON THE BLoopy Sarrt.—The N. ¥. Heraid correspondent with Gen. Garfield in his late tour says that in conversation with him last evening relative to the bloody shirt business, Gen. Garfleld said: “ Why, bless their hearts, 1am the last man to be charged with such sentiments or desire. The speech I made on that subject was purposely made to let our people understand what the issues were and ‘Were Hot to be, There were some who would have gone into this campaign with that sen- Ument, but desired to check it.

They did so understand !t, but they have torn open the sores, not I. They have re- vived the issues, not I, and they did it in the most offensive way when they opposed the ap- propriation bill.

A trifil escapade with a woman suggested his remov: to America during the year 1si3. He brought most excellent letters with him, and speedily obtained charge of a Lutheran church at West New York, near Weehawken, where he preached to an appreciative congregation until a charge of immorality made by one of the female mem- bers was so Clearly proven against him that his resignation was demanded. He next became a teacher in the Academy of Korff (Edglish and German), in this city, where he remained until the spring of ‘9, When the habit of in- toxication had so grown on him that Mr. Korift was compelled to dispense with his services.

At a meeting held by the depositors ot ihe German-American National bank In January last, a committee was appointed for the pur- Pose of waiting upon the receiver, Mr. B. U. Keyser, and requesting him to give complete in- formation as to the liabilities and assets of the bank, in order to enable its creditors to form an idea of their claims. is the report of that committee, delayed on account of the ab- sence of one of its members. At the time the bak failed, but little or nothing was known of the real value of the assets, whitch were con- fusedly entered on the bank books; the cred- itors, therefore, could not impuictily depend upon the statement published by the recetver at that time. Since then, other and more re- Mable estimates have been made, from which the committee has Gog res the following, showing the condition of the bank on the 301] of June, 1880: Liabilities of the bank after the fatlure: Claims proved... + $267,798.40 Claims not proved 15,365.50 Claims not on bool DOL PYOVED.... +6. -- essere 000.00 ——-— 301,161.20 These abilities have been reduced since then— By a dividend paid by re- celver..

The item “bills recelvable” includes all good to the bank, resulting from loans and diseoun Comparing the Mabiifties $244,056.50 and the as- s , the former are in excess by : ‘This amount as well as the interest on the claims and the running expenses of the receivership until the affairs of the bank shall be wound up, Must come out of the assessmn's op the stockholders of the bank, which amount TO. $130,000.00. How much of this will be collected we cannot say at present. Some of the stockholders have paid their assessments already, or will pay oy the 15th of August. Others, of well known re- sponsibility, do not wish to pay, buc they wil soon find that the law will not only compel then to pay the assessments, but also the penalty for any deley caused by them. Should the amount collected from the stockholders fall below 296,000. allowing the interest on the assets and an additional $6,317 for the expenses of the re- ceivership, and supposing the value of the as- sets fo be correctly estimated, then our claims Will not be worth their par value. According 10 the anrual report of the controler of the cur- rency, the amount collected from stockholders of tusplvent banks ts equal to about one-fifth of the assessments. If an equal amount should be collected in this case, our claims will be worth about 76 pr cent. ‘The recetver ts contident that he will at least collent 3-5 of the assessments, and should this prove true our claims will realize about 4 per cent, How carelessly the officers of the baak have used the money entrusted thein, may be seen from the following fi : When the bank failed the loans, discounts and bills re- ceivable by the bank amounted to $235,443, this amount has been collected: In cash.$25,307. offsets allowed, $19,045; turned into real estate, ‘$24,468; Sood debts to be collected, $20,000— 459,340; differences uncollected, $146,123. Tuts amount Js partly loss and partly of such doubt- Tul value that it may be considered a clear loss. ‘The real ¢ state of the bank,shown on the books, amounted on the 30th of June to $16,000; it has been estimated to $115,000. The greater part o/ the loss occurred entirely by unlawful transac- bank, who have been indicted for all thei: offences. ‘The committee cannot close its report with out acknowledging the great courtesy which 11 received from Mr. Keyser, who frankly and with his best ability gave full and detailed informa Uon upon all questions involved.

THE FUNERAL OF WELLS FOREES, (Correspondence of The Star} FALis CuURCH, VA., August 9th, 1550. ‘The extraordinary exhibition of sorrow at the death of Wells Forbes in our village, followed by the general manifestation of deep interest and sincere sympathy on the occasion of the funeral services yesterday at the Congregational Church, seems to justify and demand more than a mere mention of the exercises of the latter event. There were no services in any of ‘supplied, was full, both in the sitting a Standing room; besides, a large number of col- ored people occupied the chapel, the door be- tween the two audience rooms being open. The bymn with which the exercises were opened Was sung In music of a dirge-like strain. The Rev. D. H. Riddle, of the Presbyterian church, made prayer. The reading of Scripture fol- lowed, by the Rey. L. B. Platt. from vi. John. Preparatory to the commencement of his dis- course he read a passage of Scripture of which this is a part: “Blessed are they which die tn the Lord.” Mr. Platt referred first to the long, hurried journey he had made to be here, and then declared that there was no tfah savé b's own fatber whose death could have affected Asm so severely and so deeply as that of Wells Forbes had done, “for he was like a father to me.” He could not have thought that his re tum to this pes would have been more sor- rowful than his departure had been. “I do not believe,” he said, “as we sit around nis remains here to-day, that any one would say that he (Wells Forbes) was not a good man, ite was an. honest, straightforward, pure, Christian man. He was accustomed to say that he wanted to be a good man.” The concluding portion of Mr. Piatt's discourse was deeply pathetic, and the eyes of both pastor and people were melted into tears. LS.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIONS ‘Ten Acres of Fire Raging on Hun- ter’s Point, N. ¥.—Vessels, Lumber and Houses Burning. NEW YORK, August 10.—This morning, about T o'clock, the hull of the burning vessel Nictaux, still ablaze, floated against the plier occupied by the American Export Lumber company at Hunter's Point. The premises oceupled by thts company occupy both sides of Newtown Creek, the Oftices being situated on the south side of the creek, while the lumber yard 1s situated on the north side, At the time the Nictaux came in contact with the pier they were unloading a large number of vessels. ‘The fire immediately communicated to the lumber in the yard, spreading tn every direction with lightuing rapidity. From the yard the fire spread to the yessel, and notwithstanding the efforts made by several tugs, which hastened to their as- sistance, six barges, one schooner and one ship Were soon enveloped in flames, So intense ts the heat from the flames that the property situated on the south side of the creek 1s in immtnet danger, Over ten acres of fire is now raging Wiidiy, and It appears to be beyond the coutrol of the firemen, Several of the burning vessels were towed into the river and have drifted with the tide towards Blackwell’s Island enveloped in a sheet of tiames. The fire is now spreading In every direction, and no estimate ean formed as to its probable extent. The se trom the river is one of indese. bable grandeur, the tlames rising in every direction and devou Ing everything In their path. It was impo; ble owing to the confusion this morning to as- certain the names of the burning vessels.
