New Yonmk, Sopt.’ 91,—The arrival of Presl- dant Grant st Fifth Avenue Hotel, on Saturday night, was with fhe avowed purpose of discussing with Beeretray Richardson tho sub- Joct whotbier the Government should come to the as- slstanco of {mperiled bankers, The news of Gover- ‘mental interferonce in the present financial crisls at. tracted to the nelghborhood of the Prealdent’s parlor st tho hotel, this afternoon, the wealthicst business men of tho city, TIIZ. HOTEL WAS INDEED A8 LIVELY an the Btock Exchange had been on Friday, notwith- standing the ringing of church bells In the vicnity,and a Sabbath air of quietuilo that reigned over the almost desolated streots, Tho whole lfo and alir of tho great city might apparently bavo been comprossed into its smallest compass and placed cxclusively among the corridors and lobbios of the Hotel Solid groups of ‘business men engaged in low and earucst converaation crowded tho lobbles on tho firat fioor of the hotel, and the carpetod halls and parlors adjoining the southwest angle of tho hotel, where in Parlors 33, 84, ond 35 tho President and his party wero assombled. Accompany- ing tho President wero Socrotary Richardson, Gen, Babeock, Presidential Secretary, Gen. Hillhousc, Ase aistant Trossurer George A, Sharpe, Benator Morton, of Indfans, and Senator West, of Loulsiaus, Among capitalista and oltizens who crowded the cor~ dors, or walted in the parlors to hear the declsion of this august body, were Goorge Opdyke, Wiklam Orton, Robert L. Kennedy, Jobn J, Clsco, Proaper F. Blaw, Rufus Hatch, IT, B, Oluflin, John Hoey, Jenkins Van Bualck, Gen, E. B. Sandford,J, H, Darker, W. L, Bcott, snd many others whoso Intereata lay in the im- ‘mediato turning of financlal ront, The Hon, Reverdy Johnson was visible at froquent intervals in the anx- lous throng, It wos a rather substantial assemblage indeed, and when Commoadore Vanderbilt, on the arm of a younger friend, put in his ppearance, one of tho substautial men remarked, with possibly pardonable pride, A very substautial assemblage indecd, I should say— OVER A HUNDRED MILLIONS,” "The capitaliats held their consultation informally in Room 19, and most of thoso named above Were pres- ent. Tho discussion began about 10 o'clock and ro- ‘yolved around tho direct proposition that Government should loan totho bankers of the city the wholo re- sorvo in the Treasury, if needed; and that it should e done before 10 o'clock to-morrow. Twenty differ- ent propositions wero made that meant only thi though thoy were put in twenty difforent ways, To this thero waa strong opposition on tho part of BEOREFARY RIOARDSON, WHO FOBITIVELY DEOLINED to do anything of the sort, Bome of the Lankers intl~ mated that it wes not bis funeral, The conference again consulted, but could come to no satisfactory de- clsion, Scoretary Nichardson held firmly to his pur- poss, and tho Presidont s firmly backed himin it. Finally, about noon, the President gave notico that e would entertain no proposition which was not stated sucainetly In writing and signed by each capitalist in conferenco, Some constornation over tins notice en~ sued, and tho conteronce became more intemsely earneat than before, Gonsultation was informally had with Reverdy John- aon, who stated that the President had no power to make any such isauc, but that he would be supportod in 4t hedeclded that tho exigenoy of the case de- manded such action. The result was that the capital- iatn procesded to make out written petitions, and pro- valled upon Afr, Johnaon to accompany it with a writ~ ten opinion of his own upon the logality of tha actien roqueated of the Government, Ar, Johnson made the following atatement to a reporter relativa to tho caso; #The President ia without & doubt devold of logal power to issus any portion of the $10,000,000 in the Treasury, Ho (President) says as much as this himeelf, and, on mesting mo in the corridor, ssked ‘my opinion about it, I told him that there wasno legal warranty, but that, If ho deemed that tho exigen- oyof the caso demanded such a moasure, I should surely order it, Thia HAS BEOONE A NATIONAL OALAMITY, Unlees relief {s afforded them, all city banks must sus- pend to-morrow, The result of this would be gencral ‘suspenslon throughout the country, and a prostration unequaled even by the catastrophe of 1857, The President colncided with me In the matter, sud I am to write Lim a letter on tho subject at 6 o%clock, The ecapltalists’ conference continued meantime, to deliberate within closed doors, until 2 P.m., whon a reccas for dlnner was taken, and alull throughout tho hotol ensued, Soon after that hour, howover, the bustle and stir rovived, and the confor~ once was resumed, Mr, Johnson had meantime made a rough draft of hiu letter of advico to the President, and at onco sub- mitted it to the conference, to which had now been ad- ded H, B, Clatilv, and many others, 50 that the finan- olol entimate of tho strongth of the convention was put atn REPRESENTATION OF A RUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONA, Tho propoattion to writo u lotter bad been made in the form of a request to advise tho Proaldent, 88 & law- yor, on his wuthority to bind tho Treasury resorve of $44,000,000, The opinion had been prepared, snd the 1meetiug was called to order by Mr, Opdyko, who proe slded, to listen to its reading. TUE LETTER HETS FORTH the extremo sxigenoy of thie occaslon, the entire Ainan- cial interests of the country being thrcatensd, and ro- fors to the petition of the bankers and morchants that 44,000,000 -of the Teacrved greonbacks bo isaued, ‘Withs reference to tho legal sutliority of the Becretary of the Treasury o reccive the ontiro amount or aeny portlon of i, lawyers differ tn opinfon, Mr, Johneon recalls the sitention of the Presldent to the fact thaton a former occasion, during a period of monetary stringency, the smount of $5,000,000 was {satied by the Bocretary on order from B3 22, 1873. NUMBER 32. the Prestdent, Teoplo halled this as & measurs of ro- Nef, and had Indoracd thin actlon of the Prosident by re-clecting bim with an almost unprocedented msjori- ty. Tho lotler was road to those asnombled, and oliclted thoir approval, A few trifiing alterations in phraseology wero mada by Mr, Johnaon, and nls aeo- vetary was directed Lo make s cloar copy of tho letter for presoutation to the Prosident, VIEWS AT DINNER. Meantime, tho Prosklent ind loft the Fifth Avenue Totol and gona to tho Union Leaguo Olub to dinner on the invitation of I, B, Clalin, John Hocy, and othors, Ho departed with theso gontismen at 4:30 p. m, Dur- Ing dinner, the subject of {ssuing the rosorvo of groon- backe, and other plans for rollef, woro discusscd st length, ‘The Prosldont oxpressed a willingnoss to do anything for tho rellef of tho financlsl community, provided LAW WOULD DEAT HIX OUT ingo doing. Becretary Richardson was opposed to {sulng tho rescrve greenbacks, becauso ho belloved there was no legal suthority for i, Ha said he apprecisted tho situntion the fnanclal world had been throws into, but waa unwilling to violate Iaw to afford rolief, Many of tho argumenta of the doy woro agaln Lrought forward, but no now meanurca were submitted, ' COMMODONE VANDENBILT'S PROPOSITION, Earlyin the doy the Prosident was informed that ‘Commodore Vauderbilt was desirous of & conference ‘with him, tho Prosident signified his willingnesa to sco tho Commodore, and fn s short time the lattor ‘mnde his appearance i the lobby, and was immedi- ately conducted by Gen, Bharpo to tho parlors of the Prosident. Tho conference was brief, taking only a for minutes, As the Commodore csme from the President's room ho was accosted by aoveral of his ao- quaintances, who wero anzious to learn the issue of his interview, Much had been hoped from it by thoso assombled, as ft was known that tho Commodoro had expressed his willingnees to advance $10,000,000 to tho bauks, provided the Presidont wantod to dircct tho Bocrotary of the Treasury to {sauo $25,000,000, In rosponss to a question put to him, the Commedore said, briofly, that his mis- sion had Leen unsucceasful, and added, referring to tho President’s refusal to authorize the loans to the ‘banke, - 4 ITE COULD DO IT I¥ IIE WANTED TO," o at once took his doparture, sccompanied by seversl friends. Those who were present at tho intervisw bo- twoon the Preaident and the Commodore said thiat the Iatter, addressing himself to tho Prosident and Secro- tary Richardson, reforred to the dangor impending over the financial world, snd the nocessity for prompt messures of rolief. He offersd to placo at the disposal of the banks the aum of $10,000,000 for their rolief on condition that the President would autliorize the Beeretary of tho Tresaury tolend tho banks $25,000,000, Ho further offercd to stand a pro rata amount of any loss that might accrue by much action, Ho was asked why Le did not pay tho Union Trust Company tho sum $1,750,000 advanced to tho Michigan Bouthern & Lake Shore Rallway Company, of whioh he {s President, and thus prevent that insti~ tution from susponding, No direct anawer was made to this question, Itisstated that tho Hecretarydo- manded that the banks make a succlnct report to him of their individusl condition beforo he would enter- tain the proposition, The intorview ended with no re- sult mors factory than thoso that had preceded it.
