Hank of Dover, non- te.TipIated returning to tell what he know concern in bit transaction, with tb bank, and possibly implies! ing ntbrrs, were explodod yesterday by his brot'jer, Walter M. Uoggs, who resides in this city. Mr. lintgft not only emphatically do-nitid bat his brother intended to re-tnrn bad even evinced a desire to do eo to Biy one of the few persona wbo knew ol his whereabouts and were in communication with him. its.

bow-ever, intiiuated that the reports of tie intended return home originated inninly from persona wbo were anxious trut be ebnuld il-j en, not that tbe ends of just ico might be eultaervod, but with the hope that thereby they might maki capital to further their tiwo political ends. Tb first those stories about the proposed return of his brother, Mr. lioggs eaij, originated ab-uit the tie-ginning or December last, a-id for four mouths prin! to that time none of those who ha I Uep. up communk-aliuo witii mm ban of bim or knew oi Mi wheresbooln. Since thou, howetrar, be lias niaiie known bis whereabouli to his wife and brother, but tiR stead fasily refusetl tn return, even though I to tlo mi bn both repeatedly.

"Tbeir motive." said Mr. "in wanting bitn ui return is that they realize that it in only a question of time when bis sureties will Hiicceed in running bim down, when tbe punishment due him will mete nut, and that it would lie better to take that puoisboir-nt and be over with it. "Fy doing this," he continued, "bis brother would be relieved, not only of the constant fear of arrest and anxiety concerning bis family, but bis report tion to tbem would be tb.it nines er-ooer accomplished. He would not, however, be said, advise bi. brother's return, if it was solely to further the political ambition and schemes of certain Delaware politic-tuns.

There was r.o epeciil significance. Mr. lioggs said, of t'ir visit of bis tirotber in law. Dr. W.
