Abstract of the Report of the Sec- retary of the Navy. ‘His Description of Our Ships of War Not Very Flattering. He Recommends a Thorough Reorgeni- zation of the Service, ° “The Franking Privilege Costs the- Nation $3,000,000. "The President in Favor of Legislation - Restoring American Commerce, Evacgation of San Juan by the Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. SHIP BUILDING INTERESTS, ‘WAsHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 95.—Several promi- ‘nent members of the steamship lobby, from the East, led by Mr. Nathaniel McKay, of New York, are already in town, looking efter the ship- building interost. Their request this winter willnot be for subsidies, because they say they -believe them unnecessary and conducive fo cor- ruption. Another probable resson is the 0pposi~ tion developed in Congress last winter to subsi- dies on the Atlantic cosst. What they do ask for is the. remission of duties on stores, of outfif, and the materials entering into {he construction .of vessels. The gentlemer have called on Secretary Bontwell and the Presi- dent. The formier assured them that he should consider the subject of the revival of American commerce at some leniihin his annual report. The President said he had in the draft of his mesesge, already finished, strongly urged on the attention of Congress the importance of legisla- ‘tion on this subject. He did not say whether he ‘’had suggested any particular theory of revival. _ THE FRANEING PRIVILEGE. Postmaster General Creswell will, in his an- ‘nual report, agein strongly recommend the -abolition of the franking privilege. Ho will ;onca more call attention to the report sent Con- gress about two years ago, showing that the transmission of free mail matter costs the Gov- ernment at ordinary times, when there is no “Presidential election to swell the expense, abont $3,000,000. THE ENOCE-DOWN_ARGUMENT used here &t the present with regard to_all the past acts of the Administration, is that the elections have settled these things, and that the people have voted down all the slanders of the campaign. Yesterday, as stated in these de- spatches, Senator Harlan's Chronicle applied this argument against the proposed Credit Mobilier investigation to-day. The Baltimoro American in its leading editorial, makes the re-election of Grant apply logically o an_indorsement of tho 18311 Domingo &cheme, and it proceeds as fol- ows: The triumphant re-clection of President Grant can- not be regarded as other thana cordial indorsement of sl the great measures of his Administration, and was the voice of the people, virtually saying to each and all of those who were foremost in_ slandering and villifying his character in the emphatio language of Mfr, Greeley, ¢ Yon lic, sir,’ Of all tho falso and de- famatory actions sgainst the honesty of President Grant, * ihere was nomo that exceeded in ‘enormity ond basemess, the charges of corruption agminst Bim in re Honto the proposed annexation of Santo Domingo, The report of the Commissioners, Wade, Howe, and White, proved all these charges to be false and un- founded, but the Republican press of the country,with. very few exceptions, waa 50 fearful of the power and. influence of Scnator Sumper, that they scarcely dared t0 refer to the manifold proofs of the falsity of his charges, The time for vindicstion has now come; the e have -spoken emphatically in favor of the annexation of Santo Domingo, and no time should be lost in bringing the matter beforo Congress. We hope to see Maryland take the lesd in glving expression to the voice of the people.” SOUTHERN POLICY. . Attorney General Williams is reported to have assured several Southern gentlemen who called on him to-day, that the future policy of the Ad- ministiation "toward the reconstructed States will be one of leniency and conciliation. . PAYMASTER HODGE. . The pardon of Paymaster Hodge, to-day, by the President, it is stated, was celled for by. grave reasons of State. The firet thing of im- portance is that he is thus made s witness for the Governmont against the New York brokers, who either spent or mads the $400,000 which the. Government was compelled to lose through. Hodge'sstockoperations. The Bureau of Justice is authority for the statement that the Government. will spare no expense bringing these brokers to, justice. The theory is that if the Wall street Tirokers are once intimidated, psymasters will bs offered no_inducements to 'invest their spare funds in an illegitimate mattor. : A REVENUE 6UIT. The Treasury Department received s despatch to-day, to the effect that Samuel F. Wehl & Co., ainst which firm a suit in the United States irenit Court, to the smount of 400,000, has been pending, have received an adverse verdict. This announcement is in addition to the fact gafi the same firm lost $150,000 by the Boston . ARMY MATTERS. .The appointment of successor to Hancock, transforred from the Dopartment of Dakota to that of the Atlantic, was submitted to the In- terior Department for final settlement,, After réviewing the whole field, Becretary Delsno agreed on General Terry, whose_ apointment was made to-dsy, and whose headquarters are tostill to continue at St. Paul. The sensations of Hancock in view of the well-known differ- ences between him and the President have occa- sioned much comment, the tenor of which seems to be strongly in favor of the President both on sccount of iy magnonimity and his judgment. THE FLORIDA GOUNT. Itis now claimed here that Florids lost its electoral vote for General Grant, and * that the first Teports_from that State were. based upon fraudulent returns. "The statement is made that considerable difficulty - will yet be experienced before an honest count can be ar- rived at, inasmuch as several schemes are in- volved in the result, but that the ultimate count will be foud to be as before stated. A _ THE MESSAGE. i The President will to-morrow read to the Cab+| inet a complete draft of his message. He has yielded this year, as he did last year, to the. ads| ice of experienced politicians, and changed 1 tenor 80 far as it related to the South. Hi gives that section a passing mention; p. the wisdom of the enforcemont laws, alludgs the disappearance of lawlessness in the South, a8 well as the good behavior at the polls'at the. $5 Packages FRACTIONAL CURRENCY FORB SALE AT _IRIBUNE OFFICE, " WANTED.

He has no special recommendation on behalf of the South leaving Congress to do whatever its wisdom dictates, and reiterates his_sentiment that he has no policy to enforco against the wishes of the poople. “The country is felicitated in the bloodless victories achieved under the treaty of Wshington, and attention is called to the fact that legislation is only necessary to practically enforce all that is l6ft of the treaty ; that ;then the two &Ienfi nations of the earth have presented to the other nations en exam- ple, which it is hoped will be emulated in ail fu- ture international disputes. Respecting Cubz, snd the struggle 6f the in- surgents, less is said than in the message of last year, and far less of the asperity will appear in the fow paragraphs devoted to the subject.

A Imporf_mq recommendations concernin :efficiency of ‘the navy will be made in the gdtth-‘- coming report of Seoretary Robeson, predicated “In part on the reporta of - Chiefs of ‘Bureaus of. « that Department, It has been fonnd that more money has often been &pent in the repair 6f old - vessels, as authorized by Congress, Fhat would serve in the construction of new ones of greater! strength and improved model ‘n‘nfi 8] urtenances. As an -instance of this, fhe ensacola cost 8825,000, and: her répairs’ more than twice a8 much, namely, $760,000. As to the other vessels of the navy, including tho Guerriere, Nevada, Tows, and ‘anderbilt, to put them into' thoroughly good condition would re-. -quire an amount of ‘money far exceeding their original cost. Their timbors are much decayed, :| ‘the ships having been built of unsound -w) ite oak, @ nocessities of the situation, however, | <have required expenditure upon them, to meel! ‘emergencies, without permanent benefit. :_ Congress, st its late session, authorized the -Becretary of the Navy to sell worn-out vessels, 2nd. the useless material at the several navy" ards. It is known that there are such accumu- tions there, which originally cost. millions of dollars, and swhich were, for the most part, never applied to practical purposes. - Beveral of the worn out vessels are soon to be 80ld at auction, and others of like character: will be afterwards offered to the highest bidders. The opinion of naval officers is that there ‘should be at least twenty good active steam ves- sels, always in condition to be immediately used. ‘About a year ago, when there was such an ex- ‘citement at Havana ss induced the Consul Gen- eral, at that city, to_telegraph our Government to send vessels thither for the protection of American ' citizens, it was diffioult to immedi- ately find vessals suitsble for such an emergency, snd the _ Secretary = was therefore” obliged * to despatch an ironm clad from Key West, together with four other vessels, not of formidable proportions to that locality. Spain, at the time to which reference is made, twenty-thres vpssels in the gulf and vizinity of the ialand of Cuba. Our vessels, owing to this disparity of force, wonld have been unable to contend with thoseof Spain, in case of hostile movements on her part. The Chief of the Burean of Construction and Repairs will, it is understood, recommend that compound engines bo placed in all vur vessels, both .28 to economy of fmel and increase of speed, and that he will support his views bg careful“arguments. It has been ascertaine from naval officers that not more than ten of the fifty ironclad vessels can be rendered useful for naval purposes; therefors, the Gov- ernment will d.iaiusa of the remainder of them. - The twenty light-draft monitors built during the war at a cost of $16,000,000, never fired & 0, not having boen called 'into active service, Th now pending before the House of Rep- resentatives, appropristing 3,000,000 for tho building of fen Floops-of-war. In view of the facts concerning the inefi- ciensy of the Navy, efforts will be made at the approaching seéssion of Congress to com- plotely reorganize it A part of Sewrstary Robeson's report will be devated to this subject, and he will repeat the recommendation in hig Tnst annual report to supply tho places of ves- sels which have become useless with those of ood and sound construction, and urge that un- less something is done in this direction, our craising “navy, now by no means powerful, in- deed scarcely respectable for a nation of our ank and responeibility, will soon almost wholly pass out of. oxistence a8 an arm of national power. . 7 AMFRIOAN COMMERCE. i The President to-day in s private convarsation with & ship-builder, an{a, that he would, in his forthcoming annusl medsage, recommend Con- gross to take action with s view to reatore the commerce of tha country to the condition it was in before the lata divil war. The Presid '”pufih Major ~Hod, e President, in ; ing ~Hodge, it is undemoudf’ ‘moved to this act of clemency by the belief that Hodge was drawn into the de- {aleation by the intrigues of ‘others rather than by any premeditated ‘intention of his own to defraudthe Government. His frank acknowledge: ment of the crime, And his voluntary maling all the reparation in wer by surrendering hig private property, and in which his wife insisted upon joining him with her own individual prop- erty, excited for him and his family the greatest sympathy. His wife, who is in very delicate health, and their children made earnest appeals to the President, which were not among tho least of efforts in his behalf, and which strengthened the' President in his disposition to extend the pardoning power. An order hss been issued for the immediate release of Hodge. ’ SAN JUAN DELIVEBED UP. ~ ° Last Fridey was a historical day in the annals of this Republic. On thst day, according'to & London despatch receved af “the British Embassy, the British dag, which, since the Washburlon . Treaty of 1846, has 'waved ointly with our own over the island of San uan, was hauled dovz, in deference to' the de- cision _of Eing Willism. -The_United States authorities are now in sole possession of the island. - TREASURY AFFAIRS, The Registrar of the Treasury, in his annual report, recommends the creation of a buresu to make .a complete -Tecord of the fis? cal operations of the Government from 1776 to, 1876 for the centennial. He approves the . pay- ment of interest in coin checks. The 'Tm‘ o of the country was increased last year 155,01 tons, and 112 less vessels wero constructed than in the preceding year. - POSTAL TREATY.

'\Tay Qbuld Takes Direct Issue with Watson and Smith. The Erie Company Denies that Gould's Arrest was for Speculative Purposes. ‘Failure of a Large Banking House in Cincinnati by the ’ Corner,” ‘Beview of the Money and Producs 3 Markets. 4 Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, ' New Yox, Nov. 25.—President Watson, of the Erie Bailrond; denies that Jay' Gould's arrest a8 & stock-jobbing proceeding. He said tos reporter : “I have myself personally examined, the books of the Erie Company, every account “in ‘which ‘Gould - appears. The Erie Company -had & conversion of bonds to the amount of :$40,000,000.- I took pains, personally, and with great trouble, to ascertain to whom the stock +was issued under this conversion, and to gather, 88 far a8 I conld, from contemporary files of the New York press, the prices of the stock, com- ‘paring what stock was brought into market with the entries in the books. I took the mccounts -of sales from Gould’s own books, and the pro- i|:ceeds both from his books and the Erie books. -I'made out the amount of his robberies in this -way at $12,000,000; but the amount.stands .proved beyond peradventure by his own sc- count at $9,726,541. I am content to take that “figure, and, with_the support of the Directors, pursue Mr. Joy Gould for the recovery of that amount. We mean to recover to the last cent.” - Less excitement existed in the Northwestern -corner to-day than on Fridsy and Saturday. Mm‘iprinte accounts have been gettled up, but Bmith and Drew, it is claimed, will fight off their ‘losses to the uttermost. A great many’ new ‘questions have arisen from this corner, and the ovamin%Cu.mmiMeauf the Stock Exchange will :probably be called on_to decide them. For in- stance, whether a member of s firm can enforce, ‘under the Stock Exchange, suthorizing the ‘settlement of a difference, on & stock contract against another member of the same firm. Drew’s loss is estimated at a million and a half. The Post ssys he is worth twenty millions and can stand it. Among those who have been inbdvedanfli benefited by " this Northwestern corner are the holders of "convertible bonds of /the O1d Peninsular Railroad Cum& 'y, consoli- dated with the Northwestorn in 1864. According to the last statement of the Northwestern Com- pany, the amount of these bonds outstanding was 8695000, of which $250,000 have been converfed into Northwestern stock, one-half common and one-half preferred, within the past week. Tha amount yet to be converted at the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company is $445,000. These bonds were converted to-dayas fast as presented. Daniel Drew was at Vanderbilt's residence yes- terday and had an_interview, not fruitfulyit is said, of relief for himsalf. . The first transaction in Northwestern this ‘morning was ten shares at 150, and up to 2:30 p. m. there were no eales of greater extent than 100 shares, with the exception of two transsc- tions of 200 shares at 170. At this hour the orders were to buy in the stocks for ac- count of some of the _defanltin, Pmies the amount bought in ““under the o’ bein 4,000 shares, at 149@300, tho last being the Anal rico. The losses by the corner have been very argo, but well distributed among parties of wealth, who are well able to stand us under the load. No failures have been reported. - The rest of the stock’ market was active and Teverish, opening at an advance of @14, the entire list being in quick demand from anxions speculators'on the “short side. Northwestern preferred was galyanized into life and made & ‘quick upward spin from 868 to 102 on sales of less than pix thousand shares. This was at- tribated to the anxiety of certain German bankers who had gone short. “The price quickly receded 10 963¢. "All epecialties woro ‘active, and prices at the close “were the highest of the day. The latest report about the struggle in North- western stock to-night is, that Daniel Drew and ‘Henry Smith are cornering tho preferred stock, and will, try to forco it on Gould in payment, in dre: 'of ¢ommivas: A legal struggle over this ‘point is'expected. G MONEY_ was dear on call to-dsy. Borrowers on stock collaterals gnid from 7 per cent to 1-16 per diem. The bulk of the business wasat 1-32 to 1-16. The Iatest loans on the street were made at 7 old to 1-32. The discount market continues 0 work close. The applications at the banks are Iarge: The banks generally are sccommodating the merchants to the utmost of their ability, but the offerings of piper on discomnt days' nra much Imger than the banks can possibly take, Many merchants are compelled to seek accom- modations in the open market, where paper pasacs slowly and at high rates. The minimum ate for prime discounts on the street is 12 per cent, and names clessed as good and fair aro done as high a8 15@18 per cent. The Boston fire affected the discount market unfevorably. The fire dragged down such ro- spectable and worthy firms as Houghton, Per- Xins & Co., Smgent Brothers, Anderson, Heath & Co., A. Hiamifion & Co., Stanfield, Wentworth & Co., and Horswell, Kingsley & Co. Some of these were among the largest dry gopds jobbers of Boston, ‘and light insurance , wes the main ¢ause of their suspension. It is estimated the | Boston insurance companies will pay‘an average of sbont 40.per cent, while the average of ege aggregate- insurance on the burnt district will FoDably. bo- mboat - 75 per ot These acts have deterred libe: investments of capital in mercantile paper. Pravious to the Boston fire, capitalists would st:lp in and take considerable amounts of paper classed as 0od and prime. Since the fire, this business been almost entirely stopped.” Again money is dear on call, and capitalists yield largely to the temporary ratés offered on stock collaterals. All the indications ‘are in favor of a close discount Tharket during the remaining dys of the year. FOREIGN EXCHANGE was firmer. The leading bankers advanced their rates. The actual business was at 108%( to 1083 for long, and 110 to 103§ for sight. GoLd ruled firmer, in sympathy with the advance in exchange. “The price ranged from 112% to 1183, GOVERNMENT BONDS were quiet and steady.

An order was algo ted to take the deposition of “Horace F. Clurk, to be used on the motion. Jay "Gould has made an affidavit, in which he denies “Peter H. Watson's and Henry N.

New Yor, Nov. 25.—For mearly a week Tumors that Horace Graaley is insane have been afloat. Inquiries at the Tribune office were as- sured that Mr. Greeley was suffering from nothing but nervous prostration. Thns far no journal has alluded to the matter, until the Star, this morning, announced substantially that Mr, Groeloy is & crazy man. Mr. Whitélaw Reid said, thisevening, that Mr. Greeleihnsscanalyeatener slept for ten days, and that his condition is such that & stranger might consider: him -insane, but his friends know his eccentricities, which are now more n{:ominent than’ msual.

The same paper makes public an interview with Whitelaw Heid, man- agmg editor of the Tribune, in whici that gen- eman is made to s, in answer to questions, that Mr. Greeley has been under medical tregt- ment for some time. He is always eccentrisin manner, and very likely might be considered by some stark mad, but he ia_simply nervously prostrate.

Ho is always an eccentric man, and, st beat, acts 88 if he were ‘queer,’ but now, when nervous- ly prostrated, “strangers might think him crazy. I have seen him positively farious wero present, . B. -| personages, when & first proof has been brought him in- stead of & revise; but I know and under- stand him.” Reid said that he (Gree- ley), notwithstanding his loss of sleep and ap- pefito, was in general good health ; and made s Tequest of the reporter to say that 'he was only nervously prostrate. There was no good in say.. ingmore. ' Greeley has had enough to ‘worry him, and what he needs is quiet andress The Express says: “ The club rooms are fall of gossip about Mr. Greeloy’s loss of roason, s paralytio attack, seoking an anylum at Bloom: ingdale, etc. We discredit them all, and wi; soon tosee him restored to health. Mr. Sin- clair, the publisher of the Tribune, stated to the Ezpress reporter to-day that Mr. Greeley’s mind Was not seriously affected, and he was suffering only from nervous prostration.” Another interviewer obtained from the Tribune office the statement that they knew nothing of 1r. Greeley's insanity or of his being placed in an asylum. He had been much depressed for some days, and greatly prostrated, but when last heard from, had sufficiently recovered to be able to eat regularly and to converse with his friends. Mr. Greeley is in need of restand seclusion from the annoyance of visitors or. cares of bugi- ness. The weight of the political excitement upon his mind has been depressing, it is averred, but possibly not dm;{,-ing to the mental ability of aman of Mr. Greeley’s age. NEW Yorg, Nov. 25.—In answer to inquries at the Tribune office this evening regarding the condition of Mr. Greeley, the following was ob- tained from the best authority: The reports of Mr. Greeley's treatment at Bloomingdate, or any olfier asylum, or of any - application for his admission to any asylum is preposterous.

Of these man-killers, six committed snicids at once; ten were discharged by the Coroners; twelve concealed themselves beyond finding out ; two although known, were never arrested, and one died of wounds after being arrested. Of the 108 remaining, whose cases came befora tha District Attorney, one was sent to the House of Refuge, and two to the Insane Asylum. Bixty: one have been brought to trial, of whom seven- teen were acquitted and forty-four convicted. .Of those convicted two have been swarded new trials; two have been executed; four have been sentenced to be hung, but are now awaiting the dscision of the Court of Appeals. Three have sentenced to State Prison for life; one for fifteen years, and the others for less than seven years. “In sixteen cases indictments have nevar been found; in eloven others, indictments have been found, but no trial has taken place, and three, it is said, have been diecharged on bail after indictment. In the abstract of the records, sixteen cases have nover been heard of, since their names do not ap- pear in any official paper, and What has become of them, no one knows.
