Acquittal of Mrs. Lloyd, the Alleged Poisoner. Comfort for Dishonest Debtors. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, NOT GUILTY. ‘WasHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The celebrated Lces- burgpoiuuningcase,whauinl\tm.E.E.L!oydwna charged with cansing the death of her daughter by poison, which has been on triel since the 23d@ ult., was brought to a close yesterdsy, the jury rendering s, verdict of not guilty, after an ab- sence of twenty minutes. The Btate rested its case in the discovery of traces of arsenic in the stomach of the deceased, enough to have caused death in certain conditions of the system. The defence showed that bismuth had been administered a8 one of the regular pre- seriptions to the deceased, and that chemical analysis showed the presence of arsenic as one of its principle ingredients. There is some feel- ing among the chemical experts in relation to the different analyses of bismuth given in evi- dence in the case, in which different resulta were obtained. Some testify to the presence of argenic in bismuth ; and others, that they failed to get it from their analysis. They will prob- ably repeat their experience in analyzing bis- muth to support their scientific reputations, and meke them public. Considerable commotion is manifested by druggists and physicians, and the E;opla generally, ot the discovery of arsenic in ismuth, which will probably affect its use in medical practice. THE DEBT STATEMENT. The public debt statement, issued to-day, shows an increase in the debt _bearing no_inter- ent to the extent of nearly 5,000,000 This is the amount added to tho circulation under the right, which'the Secretary of the Treasury claims, to 8dd $44,000,000 to the general volume, when’ ever he may think the cxigency arises. BENATOR WILSON arrived here to-dsy, and although he remained ‘but a few hours, he was interviewed to the ex- tent of & column by a truly loyal reporter. The Senator was freh from his campaign in Virginia, and spoke freeley of his participation therein, He regretted that the Republicans had not com- menced their campaign there earlier, 2s then the Administration wonld have secured the State, Now he was not 8o confident. However, he was positive that Grant and himself would secure the electoral vote of every Northern Btate, with possibly the exception of Nevads, and of North Carolina, Florids, Louisiana, Alabama, Missis- sippi, Soutls Cnro]inag Missouri, and Arkansas among the Southern States. EDUCATIONAL. The Commissioner of Edacation has requested the State and Local Superintendents of Educa- tion to aid in . devising the best plany for the representation- of the Ameri- can system of ‘education at the Vienna Ex- position. With this view, he has asked them to meet him in Washingteu on the 13th of No- vember. The Austrian officials in their com- munication to General Van Buren have been es- pecially golicitous for a thorough and complete representation of the schooi aystem of this coun=17g COMFORT ¥OR DISHONEST DEBTORS. The Bupreme Court of the District of Colum- bia, to-day, decided that the salaries of the Dis- trict ?}tfi[cx;fin.stfimnut be nt}a‘chsd for debt. Téz; plaintiffs in the case were New merchsn and the defendant Colonel Timothy Libbéy, the ‘Water Registrar. A number of officials will en- deavor to get off from paying their honest debts under the ruling of the Cof PEBSONAL. The Rev. O. H. Tiffany, D.D., formerly a popular Methodist clergyman in Chicago, this ‘Week enters upon his new ¢harge in this city. THE SUPREME COUBT. The United Btates Supreme Court mef on Mondsy, to hold an adjoutned term, Chief Jus- tice Chase, and Justices Olifford, 8wayne, Mil- ler, Field, Strong, and Bradley present. The Chief Justice has tiken to wearing a full gen& and appears to bg in greatly improved ealth. Justice Davis was detained at home for two or three days, and Justice Nelson is not expected. The call of the docket was commenced at No. 175, Jenkins, assignee, &c., vs. McClellan, which was submitted on printed briefs. No. 176. Meeker vs. Lee et al., was srgued for the defendants in error by John H. Thompson, and taken under advisement. No. 177. Philpot et al vs. Grundyke, was argued for the defendant in error by O. A. K. Hutchinson, and taken under advisement. Theso cases were all from the Northern Dis- trict of Illinois. THE “SUN” ON THE EXPANSION OF THE CUR- BENCY. New Yozg, Nov. 1.—The Sun says of Secreta- Ty Boutwell's newly discovered secrot expansion of legal-tender notes in circulation: ** Rumors of this extraordinary action of the Secretary had been mcre or less predicted, but these were gen- erally dicredited. Soberand intelligent citizens could not believe that an official of the Govern- ment would thus take it npon himseif to tamper with the finances of the country, and secretly derange the natural course of business. We put out of sight the darker insinuations that the Secretary is in leagme with a ring of Wi street ~ etock jobbers and acted for their benefit. The mere fact that he shounld claim and exercise the power of adding, when- ever ho pleases, millions of dollars to the Na- tional currem:fy, and thereby inflating the prices of ell kinds of property and commodities ithin the national domain, i8 of itself sufficiently sur- prising, and proves ciearly enough his unfitness to fi.\F the place he occupies. Three times elready has he yielded to the importunities of men in pecuniary difficulties, and issued little instalments of the $44,000,000, which he asserts is subject to his disposal, and it will take but a few repetitions of the act to draw out the whole.” [7o the Assoo ated Press.] ‘WasmmNGToN, Nov. 1.—The following shows the condition of the National debt to-day : Six per cent bouds, $1,347,921,000 Five per cent bont "114,567,300 Total coin bonds, £1,762,489,200 Lawful money dsbt.. 19,708,000 Matured debt...

In accordance with the President’s recent proclamation, with reference to the discriminat- ing duties, the Collectors of Customs are in- structed by the Secrefary of +he Treasury to as- sess_and collect from and after date of the proclamation, namely, the S0th of October,- the discriminating duty of 10 per centum ad talorem upon all merchandise imported info theiy respective districts in French vessels from coun-~ tries other France. The discriminating duty does not npélly to 8wiss goods imported in French vessels, Switzerland having no_shipping %ort of her own, and goods destined for the nited States via Havre, are considered as ex- ing of the law, when ported within the meanin between France they pass the frontier bounc and Switzerland. THREE PER CENTS TO BE REDEEMED. The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the redemption of one million {wo hundred and fifty thousand three per cents, as follows : Five thousand, each number, 4,792 to 5,177, inclusive, andin ten thousands from number 4,766 to 4,800, inclusive, dated Oct, 16, 1863, and Nov. 7, 1868.

Becretary Belknap and Secretary Delano left to- day; Secretary Fish and Judge Richardson, As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury, leave to-mor- row: Postmaster General Cresswell will remain in Washington, Secretary Robeson in New Jer- sey, and Secretary Boutwell in Massschusetts, until after the election. Owing to the great dis- tance, Attorney General Willisms did not go to his home in Oregon to vote. THE FOUR-MILLION GREENBACK ISSUE TO BE WITH- DRAWN. New Yorg, Nov. 1.—A special from Washing- ton says Acting Secret: chardson gsys to- day, that the use of the $4,000,000 of the green- bank reserve was caused chiefly by the_rapid re- demption of the 3 per cent certificates during the last few months, of which there has been called in about 840,000,000, leaving only about £5,000,- 000 yet outstanding. It is the intention of the Becretary to reduce, within the next two weeks, the currency to the lowest limit authorized by law, viz.: $256,000,000, and this will, of course, necessitate the Testoration of the $4,000,000 of greenbacks issued last month to the reserve fund again. NEW YORK. How the Jury Hung on the Trial of Mayor Eall-Mrs. Greeley’s Funeral, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yomg, Nov. 1.—Some new facts have transpired in relation to the deliberations of the Jjury empanelled to try Mayor Hall. After the jury- ‘men had discussed the evidence given for the prosecution, one of the members said the case was instituted to make capital for the Republi- can party and the Committee of Seventy, and that Mr. Peckham and Mr. Tremain would be well paid for their services. Another juryman eaid that Mr. Tremain was trying to make his present efforts-in the trial a stepping-stone to Congress. This" statement was denied by several jurymen, who denounced Mayor Hall a3 o member of Tammany, and party lines wero soon drawn between the jury, which was seven Republicans and five Democrats. The Demo- crats contended that mo testimony had been given showing that Hall had s_guilty knowledge of the frauds, and the Republican jurymen re- plied that he wass member of the Ring, and ought to be punished. The political discussion lasted nearly all night and & part of this morn- ing, with no prospect of an agreement. Yhen tho jury came into court, the seven Republicans were in favor of a conviction, and the five Dem- ocrats for acquittal. The funeral of Mrs. Greeley was largely at- tended to-day. As early as Il o'clock, a crowd beg}n to pour into Dr. Chapin's Church, corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-fifth street, and be- fore 12 o'clock all the available space except the seats reserved in the middle aisle for the famlly were full. Not only was this the case inside the church, but the vestibules, porch steps, and pavements on both sides of the streets were crowded, Tho first carriago contained tho pall- bearers; then followed the hearse, after which ' was_ & carriage containing - Mr. Greeley, his two dsughters, and Miss Lamson, the second contained Mr. Cleveland and family, and the third Mr. Sinclair and his family, The remaining carriages were filled with other friends. Dr. Chapin entered the pnl- pit before 12 o'clock. When the body entered e daor to the middla_sisle; the organist played .de’fga from Boethoven. The cofiin or casket was covered with black cloth, the lid having on it azilver plate, bearing the name and dates of birth and death of the deceased. A cross and wreath of tuberoses lay on the 1id, tnd other florel emblems were taken in by friends. At the cenclusion ofsthe services, the cortege moved slowly to Greenwood Cemetery. NEW Yorx, Nov. 1.—The jury in the Hall trial disagreed and were discharged. One report says that they stood seven for conviction and- five for scquittal. WALL STREET. Revicw of the Money, Stock, Bond, Gold, and Produce Markets. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, NEw YoRk, Nov. 1.—The money market was stesdy, turning in the early hours of the day at 7 per cent for call loans, but late in the after- noon the offerings of capital increased, and the rates dropped to 4@5 per cent. The banks, trust companies, and bankers were disbursing freely to-day on account of the November cou- pons of railway and miscellaneous securities. Prime mercantile paper moves slowly at 10@12 per cent. There is an active demand for currency from the Southwest for cotton, and the demand for movindg‘fl.xo pork crop may be expected at an early day. The Post of this evening says: ‘The semi- official admission that the Treasury Department issued during October four to five millions of new legal-tenders creates profound surprise. Asgide from the question whether snch an issue is legal, it has been understood to be the inflex- ible policy of the Secretary of the Treasury to contract rather than expand the greenback cir- culation. The flood-gates have now been open- od, and s feeling of great uncertainty must be oxpected to prevail, until it is definitely known how far this new departure in the direction of expansion is to be carried, or when this claimed power isto be exercised. One of the few things in our finances, which was accept- ed as definitely fixed, was yolume of the legal- tonder notes. Now that this has been unaottied, new uncertainties are raised as to specio resump- tion and the future value of our paper cur- rency- FOREIGN EXCHANGE and lower, on the-increased supply of and the slight squecze in cash gold. BTOCKS. ‘The stock market was irregular. The specula- tive interest was again concentrated in a few ehares. The largest dealings and widest fluctua- tions were in Pacific Mail, Northwestern com- mon, Western Union, Rock Taland, and Wabash. The 'fuctuation in these shares up and down ranged from 9 to 8 per cent, alternately bear- ish and bullish. The changes in those ~ shares not mentioned ~ above were 2{ to 5 per cent. Late dealings showed a firm feeling, and in most cases the best prices of the day were current. @orp was heavy and lower. GOVERNMENT BONDS opened lower, and closed quiet and steady. PRODUCE, Flour was fairly active and firmer, with & ship- ping demand for fair medium, and the better gmsaa were salable at stesdier prices for medium family. No. 2 and superfine were Tairly active. At the close the market was bet- ter for low grades and very heavy for amber winter; choice family firm and fairly active. In was heay cotton b vwheat ' there wes more _confidence, as private advices from _Liverpool were more hopeful. The market closes better for ring, and more active. Winter ‘was held higher, the demand being chiefly for export. There was more milling domand at the ose. Pork was better and unsettled. The large re- duction in stock gives sellers the advantage. The sales, cash and regular, are: 1,400 brls ot 815.70@15,85 for new mess; $12.00 for extra prime ; $15.00 for Western prime mess; $17.30 for clear ; a contract for 500 brls for this month on private terms, and a contract of 700 brls for November was settled at $15.821¢. Cut meats were fairly active though weak; bacon mode- ratively firm; laxd lower. CINCINNATI. Preparations for the Musical Jubilee Next May. Crxenvyaty, 0., Nov. 1.—The Executive Com- mittee on the Grand Musical Festival, to be held here i tho firet weck of next My, bag to-dsy issued a circular to the choral societies of Amer- ica, inviting them, one and all, to take part. Tt states that the object of this festival isto elevate and strengthen the standard of choral and instrumental musio, and secure harmony of action between the variousmusical organizations of the country, especialiy those of the West. It sets forth the fact that Theodore Thomas has accepted the office of Musical Director, which assures the attainment of these objects. It states that the programme planned by Mr. Thomas comprises some of the best works of Handel, Mozart, Beathoven, Wagner, Schumann, and other masters, Beethoven'sNinth 8ympho- ny will be performed by a select chorus. ~ It an- nounces that the jubilee will consist of six per- formances, commencing Tuesday, May 6, ending Friday, May 9; that Sal y, May 10, will be devoted to a grand open-air concert, and that on Thursday, May 9, there will be a contest for val- uable prizes between thé male choral societies. Dr. C, C. Miller, the official sgent at Cincinnati, will furnish details to all societies wishing to co- operate. POLITICAL. New York City Thoroughly Organized for Greeley and Brown.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, SeRmarED, TL, Nov., 1.—A 6cheme, by ‘which it is supposed the Grantites hope to rob a large element of the foreign-born population of their right to vote at the coming election, has just come to light, through correspondence re- ceived in this city. The judges in the Grant interest are putting a construction on the 65th section of the Election law which would rob all foreign-born citizens naturalized since 1870 of their votes. Section 65 eays every pereon having resided in this State one year, in the county ninety days, and iu the election die- trict thirty days next preceding any election therein, everyone who was an elector in this State on the 1st dsy of April, in the year of our Lord 1848, or obtained a certificate of natur- alization before any Court of record in this State prior to the 1st day of January, 1870, or who shall be a ‘male citizen of ths United States above the age of 21 years, shall be entitled to s vote at euch election. They base their objections to the vote upon the second clause of the section, and contend that if & for- eign-born citizen is chellenged he must swear that he obtained his naturalization papers prior to January, 1870. This section is exactly like the section in the new constitution, prescribing who should vote upon its sdoption, and was pre- pared with s view of legalizing natural- ization papers which, in “some ~ instances before ~that time, had been issued by County Courts, acd which were believed by many to be illegal. The clause of the section is 8o broad that the technical point will not avail against it. Under that clause any male citizen of the United States, whether nat- uralized or native born, and_no matter when he ‘may have been naturalized if he has naturaliza- tion papers, be is a citizen of the United States, and haa theright {o voteif he has lived in the Btate one year, in the couuty ninety days, and in the election district thirty dsys. The absurdity of the proposition is g0 apparent that it can ly be entertained. THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK CITY, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomg, Nov. 1.—New -York has been thoroughly organized and canvassed. The Lib- eral vote will be large, the Democratio vote urited, and our friends are confident of carrying the Btate for Greeley and Brown by a large majority. AvausTus ScHELL. New Yorx, Nov. 1.—Marshal Sharpe has de- cided to appoint sdditional special deputies for service, on_the election day, in those districts where trouble is apprehen; ) Charles O'Conor, Wm. M. Evarts, Joshus M.
