Annual Meeting of the National Associa tion at Saratoga— of Alex. Mitch « !. of Milwaukee- Saratoga, Aug. — The American bankers' association was called to order in the .Town hall by J. D. .Vermilya. of New York, who introduced President Alex. Mitchell, of Mil waukee. Mr. Mitchell congratulated tho members of the convention on the change in the financial condition of tbe country which has taken place during tbe past two years. Then the problem of a return to specie pay ments pressed for solution, which all awaited with anxiety and Borne with apprehension. Beyond donbt the success of resumption was largely, if not entirely due to the cordial and organized effort and co-operation of the bank* and bankers of the United States, and thus one of the great objects of the associa tion bad been happily achieved. Resumption has only been tested under the most favorable circumstances. It was preced ed by a long and elaborate preparation. Over trading had been checked by enhancement in values which the currency bad undergone in anticipation of the day fixed for resumption. Tbe balance of our foreign trade was in our favor. The prosecution of works of publio im provements bad been partially - sus pended and placed on a footing of prudence and economy. Large crops and high prices abroad have furnished a stimulant to the vast trades. In this country periods of depression follow periods of pros perity with the certainty almost, if not with the regularity of the seasons. Such periods of depression may now be looked for at any time in the near future when an extensive failure of crops shall occur with seasons of overtrading and extravagance in enterprise and expendi ture. It is therefore a matter of most serious im port what effect such depression wonld have on the present apparent stability and equilib rium of our banking system. I may well be questioned whether there be lodged in tbe federal goverpment any power to prevent a financial crisis, or whether any action it might or conld take wonld be more efficient than that of tbe banks in mitigation of such disasters. Another very important problem presents it self, which may be found equally difficult of solution, growing out of tbe continuous coin age of silver under existing laws. As long as no especial effort shall be made to force this silver >nto circulation, its existence will not effect the government treasury to which it be longs and to which it apparently sustains the relation substantially of silver bullion. Bat whenever by failure of the crops, or the exi gencies of onr foreign trade, balances must be remitted to Europe, any considerable drain of L-oM will throw this silver into circulation. Paper money will then fall to the rank of sil ver and onr entire circulation will be depreci ated to the valne of the silver dollar. Tbe report of the executive council states the expedients suggested at the last conven tion with a view to increase the membership and usefulness, resulted in an increase of mem bership by 22. Number of circulars, pam phletß and newspapers circulated during tbe year 175,482. There has been 155 deaths of bankers and bank officers during Ibc year, among them Thomas Walcott, the oldest bank er in the United States at tbe time of bis death. In reviewing the work of tbe year it is fonnd that the spirit of cordiality and nnion has been gathering strength and the 6,000 banks and bankers of tbe country are gradual ly uniting for carrying on the common work for mutual benefit. W. S. George, of Michigan, read a paper on ' 'Granges and Greenbacks," in which he said the granger's influence was not inimical to banks, and uacy bankers are high officials in granges. Tbe Greenbaokers are speculators who wonld give notes at banks and want them continually renewed. A committee was appointed to nomiu&te offi cers. Receipts for the year, $15,000; expen ditures, 512.00 J. Adjourned till tomorrow. Restless Indians.

BUCKEYE VETERANS Fighting Their Battles Over Again at Columbus— Sixty Thousand People Glye Them Greeting— by President Hayes and Gen. Dutbin Ward. Columbus, 0., Aue. 11.— The second day of the grand reunion of ' ex-soldiers opened under very propitious circumstances. At 6 o'clock the artillery fired a salute of thirty, eight guns, followed with . reveille of the bugle and drum corps. The tents are rapidly filling up; fifteen hundred men having been assigned quarters yesterday. The morning was devoted to regimental and association reunions. Presi dent Hayes, General Sherman and party ar rived at 6 o'clock this morning from Washing ton, and were met at the depot by an escort consisting of United States troops stationed at Columbus garrison.the ex soldiers' association, governor's guard. Columbus cadets, and other military organizations of the city and other places. The fine art ball on the fair grounds offers to view a most elegant and attractive aspect, the tattered flags con taining a history in themselves. - A motto on the north side reads, "To preserve the Union Ohio furnished 310,654 men," and 'Ohio mourns for 24,591 dead," appears on the other Bide. Old Abe, the famous Wisconsin war eagle, is perched on a cannon in the fine ait ball, looking as proud and majestic as ever. A heavy rain sturm passed over the city at 1:30 o'clock. . '•:.': ~ -' ' The heavy rain that Bet in at one o'clock cleared off at 3. The weather was very pleas ant all the afternoon and evening. - If doubt existed in any minds yesterday as to the suc cess of the reunion it was displaced to-day. The immense throngs of people who have ar rived, thirty thousand coming in on various railroads and fully thirty thousand more fro the city and surrounding country, it being esti mated over sixty thousand people were in the camp grounds and in the oity. ' The city is all life and festivity, to-night, reunion speeoh making, general greetings, sal military organ ization being the order of the hour. The Presidential party arrived at the fair grounds at 3 P. M., when a salute of thirty guns was fired and music of lively airs was played by the Barracks band. President Nash intro duced ex-Gov. Denison, who was made tem porary chairman. The ex-governor made no extended remarks, simply extending hearty greetings with the visiting veterans and con gratulating the same on the presence of the President of the United. States and the general of the army, and the presence of so many men and . women who had come to salute them for their great service to their country. Be*. W. E. Moore, chaplain of ex-soldiers' and sailors' association, then offered prayer. General Durbin Ward was next introduced by the chairman. Con tinued rain during the remark* of Gen. Ward caused much abbreviation, though ho made a very interesting speech to the veterans. He stated that he had come to take the place of that distinguished soldier, (General Ewing). If there ever was an audience, or an occasion to inspire a man, {the present surely would, with the ruler of the nation and commander of the armies present. He next, referred to the time of partings which they had experienced in going to tbe war, the dust, rain, prisons, hardships and glory of tbe final triumph. Among bo many thausands he could only extend greetings. They were young comparatively ° when their histories were made and they withstood tbe hardships and now had the 'satisfaction of knowing they have a Union. It has put the country on a solid basis and our. American Union will last as long a civilization. "~'-:f •< j Tbe speaker here said that this was above all j party and political ideas. It was tbe grand re- j sult of the national reunion. ilt is important to forget all political parties at . reunions, but be ventured no far as to Ray that wo would have a soldier lor ti e next President of the United States, which .was received mtu continued cheers, when the speaker remarked Chat be had entered on forbidden ground. At any rate, he said, they did not fight in vain. The general concluded by an expression of regrets that circumstances would not permit him to speak The President was introduced and was greet ed with load cheers on introduction and at vari ous points in his speech. His speech was aa follows: Mr President: Tbe citizens of Ohio who weit soldierß in the Union army, who have assem bled here in such large numbers, have many reason* for mutual congratulations, as they ex change greetings ami renew old friendships at this State reunion. We Tejoice that we had the gloriouß privilege of enlisting and serving on the right side in the great conflict for the Union and for equal rights. The time that has passed since the contest ended is not so great but that we can without effort recall freshly and vividly the events and scenes, and feelings and asso ciations of that most interesting period of our lives. We rejoice, also, tnat we have been per mitted to live long enough to see and to enjoy tbe results of the victory we gained, and to measure the vast benefits which it conferred on our country and tbe world. I shall not attempt to make a catalogue of those benefits or to estimate their value. A single fact to which I call your attention will sufficiently illustrate for my present purpose the unmeasnrable blessings conferred upon tbe United States by tbe success of the Union arms. Tbe statistics of emigration, showing the movements of population which are going on in the world, afford a very good test of tbe comparative advantages and prosperity of the various civilized nations. People leave their own c mntry and seek new bomes in foreign lands to better tneir condi tion. Immigration into a conn try, therefore, is an evidence of that country's prosperity. It is also a most efficient canse of the progress of tbe country which receives it. During our civil waratid duriug the disturbed and troubled years which immediately preceded and follow ed it, immigration fell off and became of com paratively small importance, bnt now our country's prosperity, the sta bility of our government and the permanent prevalence of peace at home and with foreign nations — blessingß which could not have been enjoyed by this country if tbe Union arms had failed — have given to tbe world a confidence in the future welfare and greatness of tbe United States, which is punriug upon oar shores such streams of immigration as was never known before. This is a fact of the most freqnent sicniti cance in every respect and condition. If we take a survey of the globe we shall find every where among civihz Jd nation%especially among people who are eagerly looking foiward to the time when they can emigrate to 6ome more favored land. Only one of the great nations ia in no danger of losing its capital and labor asd skill by emigration. We find only one which by immigration ia gaining rapidly in numbers, wealth and power. All are losing by this canse except the United States. The United States alone is gaining Other nations see their peo ple going, going. We soe from every quarter tbe people of other conntries coming, comirg, coming. There is one flag, and in all the world only one, whose protection good men and women born under it will never willingly leave. There is one flag, and only one in the world, whose protecting folds good men and women born under every other flag that floats under the whole heavens, are eagerly and gladly seeking. Tbat flag so loved at home, so longed for by millions abroad i« tbe old flag under which we marched to save what in onr soldier days we were fond of calling ''God's country," It is easily seenf what it is that chiefly attracts this immigration. It goes where good land is cheap, where labor and capital find profit able employment, where peace and social order prevail, and where civil and religious liberty are secure. BThe President closed his remarks aa follows: The soldier of tbe Union has done his work and has done it well. The work of 'the school master is in order. Wherever bis work shall be done in all onr borders it will be found that there also t.ho principles of the Declaration of Independence will he cherished, the sentiment of nationality will prevail.the equal rights and amendments will be cheerfully obeyed, and tben will be "Tbe home of feedom and refuge of the oppressed of every race and every clime." The following ia ihe speeoh of Gen. Sher man: Fellow Soldiers: My i speech n not written, nor has it been evmr thought of by rijfi^^vf^fc ijHt' 4cfk' ' c^A* (BlobE. me. It delights my soul to look on you and see so many of tbe good old boys left yet. They are not afraid of rain. We have stood it many a time, loame as part of the escort to the President, and not for the purpose of speakins: to yon, but I simply have to look on and let the boys look at old Billy again. We are to each other all in all as man and wife, and every soldier here to day knows that Uncle Billy loves him as his own flesh and blood. Could I command tbe language I would like to speak to you for an hour. There are others here who can and will give echo and say amen to these ex pressions. Tbe war is now away back in the past and you can tell what books cannot, when yon come down to practical real ities just as they happened. Yon all know that this is not soldiering here. There is many a boy here to-day who looks on soldier ing as all a story, but, boys, it is all real. You can hear this moaning voice to generations yet to come. I look on war with horror, but if it has to come lam here. (This last remark was received with long applause and a hurrah by tbe audience). We have a little war on hand to-day to make homes for tbe people who are coming to our shores. It is being fought and yonr sympathy is needed. I wish to again congratulate those who were in tbe rear in the war. They would have been gone from here covered with umbrellas before now. The conntry is now peaceful and long may it remain so. To you soldiers they owe a debt of gratitude. Gen. Hazen was then introduced and made a short address. EACINGr MATINEE.

Which Never Did and Never Will Bun Smooth. A well dressed and fly looking fellow named Thomas Nobles was before his honor yesterday charged with committing an assault on a nobby young blood named William Flynn. Both fel lows belong to tbat clnss of bifurcated bean tics known as mashers. The alleged assault took place near the Metropolitan hotel Monday evening, and originated over a difference of opinion as to whioh had the right to flßCort a damsel who is employed at the house in tbo festive role of bun tosser. It Beems that both gallants had been in the habit of paying their devoirs to tbe damsel, and the race for conquest depended on the point as to which of the rivals and lovers should get there first. Monday night Flynn got the start of tbe other fellow, and after lallygaging around he invited his duloina out for a walk. They rambled in the direction of the park. The *tars were shining, and the loving swain grew ecatatio at the prospect. It WBatime for soft eighß "and poetry, a time "when the magical fingers of fancy had hung every breeze with a sigh, every leaf with a tongue." He looked into his mistress' eyes, which glistened like Switzer kase on a saffron background, and enthused thus: Thou art, O maid, so sweet and fair, With dewy lips and sunny hair, Whose azure orbs and perfumed sighs, Match all tbe beauties of the skies. He waR about to give the second stanza of the roundelay, when a gruff and highly excited voice broke the stilly night with an awful shock. "By the holy pipers, you'll give the lady no more o' that taffy," exclaimed the voice, and a minute afterwards the poetic youth had gone to grass. The striking was done by the . rival, Nobles, and covered with victory he ' walked off with the girl, while the other fellow went to soak bis sore head and rained hopes in arnica. Yes terday morning the sad story was related to Judge MoGrorty and the defendant. Noble*, was fined $7 and costs. * He paid the money reluctantly and left the eour: ' breathing ven geance.

A YOUNG WOX AN COMMITS SUICIDE FOR THE OLD, OLD SEASON. ▲ Supposed Wife and Yet Not a Wife Leaps Into Eternity by the Aid of Strychnine— A Farewell Letter to Her Mother Which Death Cat Short— The Man in the Case Reticent— An Inquest to be Held To-Day. At No. 219 East Sixth street, la*t night, when the glory of the sunset bad faded lot* dusk and the summer air was filled with glad nesss, a fair but wretohed woman lay strag gling in the throes of a most horrible and un natural death. A few minutes before 8 o'clock the attention of Mrs. Douglas, land lady of the boarding house at the place named, was attracted by unoommon sounds of distress proceeding from one of her boarder's rooms on the first floor of the building. She entered the room and was shocked at the spectacle. Miss Jennie Boncock alias Mrs. E. A. Potter, lay on the bed in the agonies of a teriible death struggle. Alarmed at tbe spec tacle, and surmising that something %wfoi had happened, the landlady inquired the cause of her terrible illness. The dying woman, wbo was then gasping for breath, replied tbat she had taken poison, aad requested that a letter, whioh lay on the bu reau, be forwarded to her mother. Terrified at the grave announcement, Mrs. Douglas sent for a physician, in response to whioh Dr. Biohe son was summoned. Before the arrival of the latter, however, the poison had executed its terrible mission and tbe victim to an awfnl wrong or awfnl mis take was dead. As before intimated the woman's name is Jennie Boncock, bnt for some time past she has borne tbe name and been introduced as Mrs. Jennie Potter. The motive for the dread deed is somevh&t enveloped in mystery, bnt she is supposed to have been prompted by a sense of despair arising from an affair of the heart or affec tion. Last night the one whose life has been inex tricably tangled in this girl's fate was ominons ly, and for obvious reasons, perhaps, entirely silent . The people most familiar witb the girl since her sojourn in this city were also non committal . Certain it is that E. A. Potter and the dead woman have been living together aa man and wife, and while she gave the name of Mrs. Potter to the census enumerator a few weeks since, it is equally certain that they were Dot married. The man, E. A. Potter, is a hone dealer, and he came to St. Paul in company with the snicide about one year and a half ago, from tbe northern part of Missouri. For several months past the parties have roomed at the corner of Seventh and Cedar streets. About two months ago they took board at a down town hotel, whioh they left two weeks ago tat the boarding house .of Mrs. Douglas, on Sixth street. The dead woman was introduced as Mrs. Potter and they have been known as man and wife. The girl was certainly controlled or actuated by a crushing sorrow, as indicated by her fare well letter. The supposition is that she and her lover had quarrelled and that he had expressed a de termination to abandon her, laboring under the thought of whioh she [committed the deed . The doctors state that death was caused by strychnine, but no positive evidence ia had to this effect. The home of the unfortunate woman was in northern Missouri, where her family were residing. Since coming to St. Paul she paid a visit borne, being absent a short time last fall. : .. v Liiij THE FABEWELL LKTTEK. The following letter, scrawled with pencil on a fragment of paper, expresses a world of tenderness and pathos, and was evidently couched in great pain a few minutes before her death : Dead Motbeb : I wonld like to see yon and mj dear little brother and sister to-night, as I am In trouble and have taken poison and will kill myself, as lam left alone and have sot got anyone to take care of me and think I will be better off dead and then we can meet again. This is all I can write. Qjod bye. lennie Bou Tho letter was written in haste and is with out date. As will be seen, the hand faltered on reaching the Bumame, of which only the first syllable ia given, and the pnlse was evi dently nnder the influence of the poison when the missive was written. The deceased was 21 years of age and pos sessed a form that mnst have been noted for its grace and beauty. When seen by the re porter she reclined on her bed with lips parted as if about to speak. Thiok curls of raven hair were pushed back from a broad forehead, and her dark, heavy eyelashes contrasted ntrangely with the sculpture-like regularity and whiteness of her face, which bore an ex pression of pain. Coroner Davenport visited the bonse last night and will hold in inquest at 11 o'clock this morning. SPORT AT ROCHESTER.
