An appar ent t.'liunciipubljcsMiiinieitL in rr giiriT to the directorships seems now to warrant us seeking to resign from some of these connections. Indeed, it may be in view of the change in sentiment upon this subject that we shall be in a better position to serve such proiHsrtie as security holders if we are not directors.
