American Bankers meet at Saratoga NY convention
The annual convention of American Bankers will convene in Saratoga New York. The program covers a wide range of financial topics typical for such gatherings. Queen Victoria conducts public business between meals and rarely on other days. An early Philadelphia directory lists "Washington, George, President" at 190 High Street among few occupancies. The Pittsburg Gazette notes General Beaver declined Stewart’s joint discussion after Republicans spurned Independents. Ex Cadet Whittaker, visiting Washington with Prof. Greener, returns home to South Carolina seeking other work. Congress has discharged clerks of the National Board of Health except for the secretary and chief clerk.
