It bacame npfinrunt to the Prosident, bofora tho intorview in New York ended, that the railroad oporators alono woro go- riously involved, aud that tho rug,rosoumlrou of ‘banks or firms not complicated by those opera- tions woro froo from the fright of tho panic, Tho rresident furthor u:plnlnud that, in pur- suing the¥;olicy adopted, it was intondod to ro- lieve th = striogonoy of tho market by doveloping tho nctual necossities of tho com- munity in such & way a8 not only to rolieve those necossities, but to enable tho " Government to urchaso its own indobtedness. In othor words, En ‘bollevos that the purchase of bonds by the Trengury would onable the public, if an actual nocessity existed for rollof, to obtain that roliof, and, at _tho samo timo, onnble the Treasury to reduce tho public debt, by draw- ing on its amplo eurplus of currency. “Ho wna well aware of the fact that the oppor- tunity thus aiforded to the West o obtain tho currenoy so much dosired in thoeo scctions of thio country would bo taken advauntagoe of, but this reault lie accopted with satisfaction, UE FELT CONFIDENT that the end had boon reached, aud that, ag soon 04 tho adjustment of tho aflairs now progressing is offected, tho customary channols of business will reopen, and commorcial transactions of overy charactor will procoed as boforo, with the favora- ‘ble oxcoption that the markets will havo reachod a lasting and a substantial basis. In nlluding to tho charactor of tho panio, the Prosidont do- nounced, in most unsparing torms, the nbe surdity of the progon tions of the stock-gamblors; and = added that tho re- gult of the purchase of bonds exposcd the utter rottonness of tho basis on which they carry on their businees. Ho argued that, if tho; word logitimato business men, having a legiti- mato business, thoy would have baen enabled to obtain currency for their reliof by availing thomsolves of ‘the action of the Government. Tho merchants nnd SOME DUBINESS INSTITUTIONS navo alrendy takon advantago of that mction, and, .whilo' tho facts dovoloped by tho rosult show that tho brokers had no bonds, the mor- ohants, instend of discounting their Snpur at ruinous rates, had obtained funds by disposin; of their Goverumont sccuritios.

All that was necossary was simply for overy man to hold on to what ho had, and wait. A proposition to adjourn was pubmitted during the day to tho Doard of Di- roctors, and was nogatived by thom, partly be- caugo It soomod unnocossary, and partly ainco it was thought it might start a panie. Tho Diroctors also coneldered the advisability of holding a mooting of tho Opon Board, to soo whother thoy would request tho Government to relssuo tho forty-four million withdrawn groen- backs, but thia proposition was also DROIDEDLY VOTED DOWN. Thero were no shipmonts yosterdsy, forno- body could got any money from the bauks, and tho sluppers stood around disconsolately, taking no speolsl intorest in life. Much grain came in yostorday, but It had started bofore the acaro sot in. It Is oxpocted that tho receipts for tho rost of tho weok will drop off matorially. In spito of tho few whont sales, tho condition on 'Ohiango was that of stagnation, Thoro was no cheoking.

Many never heard of tho time-clauso ; they put their money to rest in & bank bocausoit was a bank, and nover troubled their hond roading tho by-laws and rogulations. ‘When thoy saw tho notice in the papors, they sort of folt bound to vielt the banks oud seo what it meant. They needed an explanation. Bome belioved their money sas uttorly gone, aud would nover roturn. Had not tho notico beon publiskied, thore would not havo boon any uncnsinoss, At the STATE BAVINGS INSTITUTION, +which has somo 18,000 depositors, quite a littlo crowd congrogatoed, and there was arush to the Paying-Tellor's window. Each dopositor was equippod with a bank-book, and domanded tho amount to his oredit. Bomo of them wore very badly ecared, sud gave notico that thoy would draw thoir monoy in sixty dsys. Tho noticos wore taken, The majority, however, wero smonable to reason, and bolng satisfied with tho oxplanation tondored by the olerks, went home, taking with thom rolieved minds, aud leaving safo balances bohind them. ' They had heard vague rumors, which grew as thoy flow, and they did not know what was coming. When con- vinced that everything waslovely, they soparatod reassurod and happy. A fow coses of poculiar hardship wore troated with the utmost loniency. ‘When a poor woman wont in and showed that hor ohild was dead and awaiting burisl, her talo of woo foll upon sympathotio oars.

At the FIDELITY DANK AND BAFE DEPOSITORY things wore quict. About forty noticos of with- drawal wero given, and deposits woro mado as usual, At times during the day thore was not & gingle porson at the paying countor, and tho lattor hind nothing to do but gaze on the pictur~ esque ruins of the old Court-Houso. The same can bo said of the GERMAN SAVINGB DANK, of which Mr. Honry Groencbaum is Prosident. When the doors were thrown open in the morn- ing, oight or nine porsons demanded their money, but when they were informed how mat- tors stood, they loft easy and contented. Thero was nothing in the nature of nrun, Very fow notices wore flled, and business continued in tho even tenor of its way throughout the day. Not a fow doposited cash. At tho ., F. & M.

THE ONICAGO BAVINGS INSTITUTION wag_calm and undisturbed, Business was as good ns ovor; thero were now dopositors, vory fow notices, and no orowd. THE LIBERNIAN BANK did its usual business, and was ready for any calls that were made. Its President, Mr. Olarke, was out of the city, and had not signed tha agrooment rugnrd.lni tho time-clause. Thore was no flurry of any kind around the institttion, no unusual demand for money, and overything procoeded g if there had been no Jay Coole, or any other man to disturb the financial world. THE OTHER SAVINGS DANES were in tho samo oasy frama of mind. Nothing arose to causo perturbation, Tho common senso of tho pooplo showed itself everywhere, and there was a frank and porfect understauding be- tween bank officinls and tho public. In tho morning tho uneasincss was most apparent, As tho day wore on and CHEERING ADVIOES ARRIVED from Now York, there was s stronger feeling, and a botter tono prevailed, and, by 8 o'clock, yhon tho banks closed for the day, con: fidonco may be said to have been fully reatored, but that there was no good ground for unensinoss at any timo in Ohicago a fow days will abundantly prove.
