Currency [Expanders Buitonhole Boutwells ‘Washburne Offered a Seat in the Cabinet. The Wheat Crop of 1872---An Increase of Five Per Cent. Strologo on Consul Butler, Special Despatch to the Chicago Tribune, THE CURRENCY EXPANDERS VISIT BOUTWELL. ‘Wasrmaros, D. C., Oct. 24.—Secretary Bout- well was visited to-day by delegations of business men from all the leading Western cities, save Chicago and Cleveland, who come to urge on him the policy of expansion, and that he proceed to iesue the 44,000,000 yet remaining under the Currency act, for the relief of their section ofthe country. The same old arguments were indulged in, to wit: That tho business of the countryhad outgrown the present volume of the circulating: medium, and that there was not surplus capital enough in the East to get the Western crops to market. The Secretary listened pationtly to 2l lthe various spokesmen of the Committee had to say, and replied, in a conversational way, that he would favor any policy which would best promote the business interests of the. whole country. - If that required an increase of the present volume of the circulating medium, he weuld certainly increase it to the full extent of the four hundred limitation. However, that ‘was & subject to which there were two sides, and he should always be fresto hear argumentsfrom both. The delegations left, not altogether satis- fied that they had made much of an improssion. FAND-SHAKING ALL AROUND. Benator Cameron was hero with the delegation of Pittsburgh soldiers, who are on a tour of ob- servation in this city. They all visited the Presi- dent. and, after & brief interchange of congratu- lations, were conducted through the various De- partments, BOWEN AGAIN IN HOT WATER. Ex-Congressman Bigamous Bowen, who was chiosen Sheriff of Charleston, in the recent con- test in South Carolina, is notto_be Iet alone, even in that humble position. His competitor threatens to have him arrested on an old c} 0, 80 2s to prevent him from entering on the du- ties of his office. 3 INFLUX OF GEBMAN CONVICTS TO BE STOPPED. The attention of the State Department is now being called to the abuse, constantly persisted in on the part of the petty German States, of transporting _their pardoned murderers and highway robbers to this country. Itis. urged that the Secretary should intervene to promptly arrest this practice. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, STBOLOGO ON EX-CONSUL BUTLER. New Yorg, Oct. 24.—A. D. Strologo, Private Becretary of Colonel Geo. H. Butler while that warthy was United States Consul in Egypt, has turned State's evidence, and publishes & precious mess of ecandal involving his employer and himeelf. Using Strologo as a go-between, But- lor pocketed in bribes no less than £21,000 in gold. Strologo was promised & fair division, but received only about 8700. Butler opencd letters addressed to others in the most unscrupulous manner, and turned their contents to his own advantuge. After the shooting affray, Butler telegmfihcd to his uncle, in the United Btates, General Butler, to get him 2 leavo of absence, and send by telegraph imme- diately, that it was important. No time was lost, for an answer came about ten hours after, eigned by Mr. Hale, granting leave if the case wag urgent. Butler took the books, documents, and archives away with him, and several blank ‘passports and ofacial papers, putting the official &eal of the Consulate upon them, saying they might be handy, and come to use. 1t will be romembered that General Starring's Teport on Butler is still hidden away in the, official pigeon- holes in Washington. [To the Associaied Press.] THE OCTOBER CROP REPORT. * Wasmveros, D. 0., Oct. 24.—A nynngniu of the October crop report of J. R. Dodge, Statis- tivian of the Department of Agriculture, indi- cates the comparative production of wheat, onts, and barley, and the condition of the corn crns on the 1st of October. The record of the yiel of wheat is quite as variable as. was that of its condition during the summer Some States have made superior crops, and oth- ers almost the poorest ever grown. The New England States have nearly sustained the usual average; the Middle States and Maryland to- gether reduced their last geax'a Iggl‘ggate from ,000,000 bushels to 24,000,000, or 85 per-cent. The Southern States, from Virginia to Tennessee, which were known to have incroased largely their wheat ares, appear to have enlarged their productions 503)31' cent, or from 18,000,000 bush- els £0 27,000,000 California has increased her product et least 756 per cent. Minnesota and Towa have made a material increase, whilo Missouri and Kansss—the former growing winter wheat mainly, the latter both winter an spring—have had a comparative failure in both varieties. Virginia and Eentucky have had good crops, whilo Maryland end Obio _return dimin- ished yields, as does the entire_district between tho Ohio River and the lakes, the Miami and the Hudson. Returns have been received from counties representing & large proportion of the whert of each State, which indicate an increase of about 5 per cent over the prodncts of lsst year, which was estimated a£230,000,000 bushels. Itis probable thatthe correctod estimate will not fall short of 240,0000,000 bushels' upon an aroa a little less than 20,000,000 acres. This will make tho yield between twelve and thirteen bushels per acre, which may be considered an ayerage for the United Btates. The increase in the States west of the Miesis- sippi appenrs to be about 15,000,000 bushels, or, in comparieon with lnst year's product, 85,000,000 0 70,000,000 bushels. The central line of wheat production running north and south is this year forther west than ever before, and is mearly identical with the 90th Meridian, which divides contrally the States of Wisconsin and Illinois. Nearly all the wheat produced between this lino and tho Mississippi River is grown in the west- ern half of those two Slates. The quality of the wheat is in most of the States better than last year. The percentage of product in com- parison with last year, in each of the States, is as follows : Maine, 109; Now Hampehire, 98; Venmont, 95: Massachusotts, 90; Connecticut, 96; Now York, 70; Now Jersey, 80; Pennsylvania, 60; Deleware, 75; Maryland, 66; Virginis, 101 North Carolina, 136 ; South Carolina, 118 ; Geor~ gia, 180; Alabams, 193; Mississippi, 101 Tozas, 20 ; Arkansas, 103; Tennesseo, 200; West Vir- ginia, 104 ; Kontucky, 175; Ohio, 85; Michigan, 88; Indiana, 101; Iilinois, 83; Wisconsin, 1213 Minnesota, 180 ; Towa, 112; Missouri, 60; Kan- sssy slo 0: Nebrasks, 140; Californis, 175; Ore- 898, e . In Btates where the crop was short last year, a8 Kentucky and Texas, the percentago of in- crease is heavy. In California it is mainly due to an increase of aren and a superior rate of yield. .., APPOINTMENTS. The President has appointed Frederick C.

Special Despatch to the Chicago Tribune. New Yorg, Oct. 24.—Contrary to general ex- pectation here, the Bank of England’s minimum discount raté was not advanced. This morn- ing’s despatches eay monoy is still active out~ sida the bank at about 6 per cent, the bank rate. The failure to advance the rate may be ex- plained by the statement in the Locdon Timies this forenoon, ‘which, 28 cabled to Kiernan's new agency, is: ““The Fretch Governmeat is expected shortly to liberato a part of £26,000,000 sterling, which theyheld.” This supplements the despatches on Baturday last, to the offect that what is equivalent to £20,000,000 were to be re- leasedfrom the Bank of France, and put in the Bank of England. The latest English papers received by mail allude to such a transfer. It is eupposed the money would remain with the Bank of England until the end of the year, when the next indemnity payment from France is due Germany. The news from London to-day had the tendoncy to produce a firmer feeling on the Btock Exchange in early deelings, and a decline in the gold premium; but later, the epeculation was somewhat reversed. MONEY. The money market was easy in the morning. Call loans were madse at 6 to 7 per cent, but later rates declined to 3@4 per cent. Prime mercan- tile paper is quoted ot 10@12 per cent. Some choice names are held at 9 per cent. Time loans are not easily negotiated, and nothing can be done better than 7 gold and & commission, which varies according to the time which the Ioan runs. THE GOLD LOCK. During the morning borrowers had to ‘pay a8 high 88 §fipm‘ cont per diem for use of gold, but in the afterncon 7 per cont for carrying. “The Bank of Montreal,” the eral says, 7is the _ successor of _ Fisk, Drew, Gould, =2od others in locking up gold. This ambitious Canadiap institution presumes to enter Wall street to derange busi- ness. Burely the banks and capitalists of this great commercial metropolis can find resources enough to checkmate the adventures of - this Colonial specnlator, though he his ready to cross the border with five millions of gold in his car- pot-bag.” FOREIGN EXCHANGE was firmer to-day on the increased rige in the cash gold market. Prime bankers advanced rates to 109 for 60 days, and 1103¢ for sight. The actugl business was at 108 13-16@1083¢ for long storling, and 1103¢@110}{ for sight. GoLD doclined 112% ontly in tho dsy, but afterwards recovered to 118%4. STOCES. The stock market was quiet and steady in the morning, but more active in the afternoon, when prices declined on the general list. Busi- ness concontrated in & few shares, and only important fluctuations in three or four special- ities. The decline ranged from 3§ mi’,fg or cent. During closing hours there was consider- able pressure to sell, aud some large blocks changed hands. At the final close the market was weak, and the lowest prices of the day cur- rent in most cases.

Tweed Eager for the Fray---His Views on the Situation, The Trial of Mé.yor Hall‘--_-fie Conducts His Own Defence. The Election Commissioner Outrages. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. TWEED EAGER FOR THE FRAY. New Yorx, Oct. 24.—Tweed says emphatically. that he now intends to fight his case throngh to a conclusion. He remarked to a reporter, I am} compelled, in going to trial, to bear the of- fences of overy other man charged with the seme offences. 'The prosecution has boasted that if they can convict me, it will be easy work with Hugh Smith, Connelly, James M. Sweeney, and others. I eoppose it - will if they can catch sny ..of! them. Thé otheis know well enough that if I am not convicted they will never be prosecuted, and so Ihave not only all their sins to bear; but all their expenses to pay. Why don’t the news-' pupers say something of the others?” . Tweed's trial will probably not occur until next year. THE HEINBICH OUTRAGE. ~ ° United States Commissioner Davenport con- descended to-day to hear a little testimony in the Heinrich case, but soon’ became- confused at the questions of Heinrich’s counsel regard- ing his_ despotioc arrosts and refusal to accept bail, and adjourned the case for one week. Heinrich's counsel demanded an immediate in- estigation, but Devenport said, “1 am Bot going on with this case until I am ready. Wheth- er I had one, or ten, or more days fo_produce witnesees or papers is a matter which I intend to govern myself.” This announcoment crested considerable sensstion in the crowded court room. The only witness examined was -Stahl, tho Deputy, whose questions Mr. Hoinrich re- fused to answer. Before Stshl was sworn he held & private consultation with Davenport. Here isa quotation from Stahl’s-cross-exam- ination : £ - Question. Did you tell Mr. Heinrich the ob- ject of your vieit before you asked him questions zbout bis name and age ? i - Witness. I did not, but when he refused I said I was n};‘pointed t0 verify the registry. He replied that he had already swornto what he had answered when his name was placed on registry, and ho wonld not answer any other gquestions. He then made me go out. e did not assault me. Question. Where did you receive [your in- structions as Marshal? Witness. In Concordia Hall Headquarters of Republicans, 1 e uestion. Were you in Commissioner Daven- port's private office this morning? - Witnes. I was. Question. While you were in Commissioner Davenport's private office, did you talk to any person about this caso? Witness. I talked over the facts in the case to Mr. Davenport in his private office. Question. During an entire hour? Witness. I can’t say the time I was inside. Commissioner Davenport. I adjourn the case. Mr. Hirsch. 1 hope your Honor will not post- pone the cage until after election. Commissioner Davenport. Mr. Hirsch, your remarks are certainly uncalled for, inasmuch as 1 bave adjourned the case until next Thursdsy. Mr. Heinrich then left with his friends.. Both Heinrich and Hussy, arrested in their own houses by Davenport, are old and respectable citizens, and Greeley men. The offence for which they were dragged from their homes is alleged impertinence. _Agsinst neither is there any charge of wrongful rogistration. [To the Associated Press.] 2MATOR HALL'S MATINEE. New Yogg, Oct. 24.—The trial of Mayor Hall is progressing. Deputy Comptroller Storrs tes- tified to the Mayor’s signaturs to certain_bills which passed the Board of Audit.- The ‘witness guve 2 detailed account of ‘ the routine of the ills before warrants were drawn- for their pay- ment. The bills were causually examined; both by him and the Mayor. .There were on an aver- -age & thonsand bills per month during: May, June, and July, 1870. ~ Billa of forty or fitty thousand doliats were not unususl. The prose- cution here strenuously objected to the question, asking the witnegs if he knew whether the mem- bers of the present Board_of Audit_personally examined into claims and bills. The ground of objection was that if others neglected their dnfi it was no defence in this case. _ Mayor Hall responded, saying thequestion of intent was vital. 'The allegation was that the Board of Audit delegated tho powers of exam- ining into claims to the County Auditor, and, in doing 80 were criminal; that they were- also criminal for not” personally examining into so many barrels of various things and eo many days’ work, and that their intent was criminal in rolyi upon the examination of & man more skilful in accounts than themselves. The Mayor said he xc;%osud to show that the present Board of Audi opted the same routine as wesin vogue in 1870. The daties of the Board in~ May, Juno, and July, 1870, were enough to crush the brain of an’ ordinary man, and every bill conld not be cxamined then, an are not now. Tremaine said the Board was appointed to stand botween the claimants and the -suyem, and they were guilty if they omitted the duty cf exuninmg. and the proposition of the defecnce to show that a subsequent Board acts mot ac- cording to law i irrelovant. Judge Brady decided in accordance with the viows of the prosecution. The case then pro- ceeded. A large number of vouchers were hand- ed to Storrs, the witness for identification, being thoso upon which the indictments against _Mayor Hall are based. The wit- pess identified the signatures on the certificates of audit, but the Mayor's signaturs was wanting in one case.
