"
The good counsels of Mr. Wallingford prevailed. At the next meeting
of the Board of Directors, the resignation of Judge Bigelow was
presented. Dewey had been notified two days before of what was
coming, and was prepared for it. He moved, promptly, that the
resignation be accepted. As soon as the motion was carried, he
offered the name of Joshua Kling, the present Cashier, for the
consideration of the Board, and urged his remarkable fitness. Of
course, Mr. Joshua Kling was elected; and his place filled by one of
the tellers. To complete the work, strong complimentary resolutions,
in which deep regret at the resignation of Judge Bigelow was
expressed, were passed by the Board. In the next week's paper, the
following notice of this change in the officers of the Bank
appeared:
"_Resignation of Judge Bigelow._--In consequence of the pressure of
professional engagements, our highly esteemed citizen Judge Bigelow,
has found it necessary to give up the office of President in the
Clinton Bank, which he has held with so much honor to himself since
the institution commenced business.
