Crxcryxati, Oct 13.—The Secretary of the Treasury made a speech at Fort Wayne, In- diana, on Wednesday night. He said he was one of those who look upon an irredeemable currency as an evil which cir- cumstances may for a time render a necessity, but which is never to be sustained as a policy. He favored a well secured conyertible paper currency; no other can, to any extent, be a substitute for coin. For ordinary home trans- actions paper currency is sufficient, but there are constantly occurring periods when bal- ances between countries, and in the United States between different sections must be settled in coin. Whenever specie is needed for this purpose, the paper currency should be con- vertible, and circulation not so convertible will not be and ought not to be tolerated by the people. The present inconvertible currency of the United States wasa necessity of war, but now the currency should be brought up to the specie standard, and he saw no way of doing it but by withdrawing a portion of it from cireu- lation. Theextreme high prices now prevail- ing indicate that the business of the country is in an unhealthy condition. We have a cireu- lating medium altogether larger than is needed for the legitimate business. The excess is used in speculation. The United States market to- day is the best in the world for foreigners to sell in,and the consequence is that Europe is selling us more than she buys of us, including our securities, which ought not to go abroad. and there is adebi rolling up against us that must be —— in . =. withcoin. If Congress shall early inthe approaching ses- sion authorize the funding Of legal tenders, and the work of reduction is commenced and pra- dently carried on, we shall reach it probably without injury and embarrassment to legal business: if not, we shall have a brief period of seductive prosperiety, resulting in wide-spread bankruptcy and disaster. He was hopeful that by_ wise legislation we will escape a financial collapse, and that the currency may be brought toa pet standard without those financial troubles which have in all countries followed & protracted and expensive war.

Betvast, Marve, Oct. 13.—Abont one han- dred and twenty-five buildings were destroyed by the fire yesterday. The loss is about $500,000. One-quarter of the property was sured. Contracts for rebuilding a portion of the burnt district were made during the progress of we fire. FrxanciaL.—The N.Y. Commercial of the 12th says affairs on Change are feverish. The late extreme factivity Jin stocks has created a demand for meney which holders were not in a position to meet. and a tight moneygmarket and & reaction in stocks are the consequence. Cer- tain firms largely short in stocks, have aided in producing the present tightness, by borrow- ing large amounts to be held off the market, until they can cover their short contracts. Goy_ ernments are still active, but not quite so strong as yesterday. Large orders for foreign ac- count have been executed during the week, and the shipments of Five-twenties on Wed- nesday and to-morrow, are estimated at fully $2,000,000. Five-twenties and Sixes of 1881 are steady at yesterday's quotations. Sevyen-thir- ties are offered freely, and are quoted % lo ver. The demand for compound interest notes is very active, and prices are {al per cent. better than that at the beginning of the week. This indicates a prospect of liberal snbscriptions to the pending loan. The miscellaneous list is weak and dull. Gold, 143%. te its Tue EriscoraL Conventioy.—Yesterday, in the Episcopal Convention at Philadelphia, Rev. Mr. Carnwall offered a resolution in- structing the House of Bishops to prepare the prayer contemplated in the preface to the «Book bf Common Praper,” and to make it in falland exact conformity with the apostolic exhorta- tion, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceabte life in all god- liness and honesty. And that this prayer, when approvedfby both H: of the Con- vention, shall be sent to the diocese, and when ratified, as provided in the article of the consti- tution, shall be substituted jn the “ Book of Common Prayer” for the prayer now in use for the President ofthe United ivil authority. é ‘On motion of Mr. Cummins, it was laid on the table; after which the Convention ad- journed.

Stephens and Trenholm had already been released from close confinement, and ited to return to their homes. They Would ask for Gov. McGrath, either a 0, or that he might be released on his . TI President replied that all could not be par- doned at once. The business must be pro- ceeded with gradually, and an effort to execute the law. A discrimination Was neces- SATY a8 We go ~~. It was a too common ex- pression by way of argument for clemency that such a one had nh pardoned, and be was just &s bad as another who had not. Sometimes the peculiar locality bad much to do with ns Like many other things in haman ‘s, we cannot have afixed rule. Much depeads on discretion and circumstances. If we know ourselves, we want to do what is best and just, and to show a proper degree of humanity on the part of the Government. Ju ‘Wardlaw remarked that they had not come hither w ex- press their own hopes and desires, but as dele- gates trom the South Osrolina Con vention, to present the memorials of that body in a formal manner. They thanked the President for par- doning Mr. Trenholm, who was one of their most useful men, and there was no doubt that he would exert all his power with a view to entire harmony between the State and the Gov - ernment. The President replied he understood that ‘Was so, and adding, if treason has been com- mitted there ought to be some test to determine the power of the Government to punish the crime. He was free tosay that it was not a mere contest between political parties, or a question as to de facto governments. Looking at the Government as we do, the laws vio- lated, and an attempt made at the life of the nation, there should be a vindication of the Government and the Constitution, even if the ‘doping power were exercised thereafter. f treason bas been committed, it ought w be determined by the bighest tribupal, and the fact declared, even if clemency should come afterward. There was no malice or prejudice in wishing to carry out that duty. Judge Wardiaw said, although not instruct- ed by the Convention, he was induced to ask whether Mrs. Jefferson Davis, who was now confined to Georgia, could not cross into South Carolina to see her triends. The President replied he had received letters from Mrs. Davis, but they were not very com-~- mendabie. The tone of one of them, however, ‘was considerabiy improved; but the others ‘were not of a character becoming one asking leniency. He supposed she was a woman of strong feeling and tem , but there was no in- tention to persecute ter There is as much Magnanimity and independence and nobleness when favor is to be obtained as in trying to put itatdefiance. True magnanimity takes things as they are, and when taken ina proper way, I disconnect them from humitiation. Anifes ~ tations of temper and defiance dono good. The character of 4n individual may characterize the nation, which is nothing but an aggregate of individuals; and when a proper spirit is manifested, all can act harmonious: The man who goes to the stake is almost dignified by his bearing. It lifts him above humiliation. In these cases we will do the best we can. While there was sympathy, there was a public judgment which must be met; but no —— Uon evists for persecution or a thirst for . The President thought many of the evils would disappear if they inaugurated the right system. Pass laws protecting the colored men in their persons and property, and he can col- lect his debts. He knew how it was in the South. The question, when first presented, of putting a colored man on the witness stand, made them shrug their shoulders. But the colored man’s testimony was to be taken for what it was worth by those who examine him, and the jury who hear it. After all, there was not so much danger as was supposed. Those coming out of slavery cannot do without work. They cannot lie down in dissipation. They must work. They ought to understand that liberty means simply the right to work and to enjoy the products of labor, and thatthe laws will protect them, That being done, and when we come to the period to feel that men must work or starve, the country will be pre- pared to receive a system applicabie to both white and black—prepared to receive a system necessary to the case. A short time back you could not enforce the vagrant law on the black, but you could on the white man; but get the public mind right, and you can treat both alike. Let us get the general incipies, and the details and collaterals will follow. Judge Wardiaw, Col. Dawkins, and Mr. Hu- ger all expressed to the President their convic- tion that the State had accepted In good faith the result of the issue which had been made that the people felt that the President had stood between them and a harsh use of the power of the Government; that they felt entire confi- dence in his ra and actions, and hoped in return to entitle themselves to his clemency as to their feelings and actions. The Pre: ient replied be was glad to hear it: that whenever such mutual confidence existed there would, he thought, be an open road to the restoration of good feeling, and & prosperous condition, and if be knew himeelf, and he thought he did, he would recommend nothing but what would advance their interests, So far from pandering or looking for future ele vation, he must be believed when he said he had no eyesingle tosuch preferment. “If,” he con- tinved, “I could be instrumental in restoring the Government to its former relations, and see the people once more united and happy, I should feel that I had more than filled the measure of my ambition. If 1 could feel that I had contributed to this inany degree, my heart would be more than gratified, and my ambition full.” The delegation, after again calling attention to the memorial, withdrew. THE HAR ‘ DIVORCE CASE. The remarkable Harris divorce case, at New London, Conn., is still progressing, and new developments palatable to scanaal lovers are developed in each day's evidence, Both par- ties have sued for divorce ou the grounds of rig angen infidelity, &c. Mrs. Harris was the daughter of a New London citizen named Brown, who accumulated a fortune in the whaling business, and took into his employ the youthtul Harris, on whom said Brown eventually bestowed his daughter. After mar- riage, assisted by the generous father-in-law, Harris becomes a grocer. tip-chandier, pro- prietor of the“ Perry Davis Painkiller,” State Senator, and Mayor of New London, his wife meanwhile presenting him with eight succes- sive tokens of conjugal regard; and finally, to crown the happiness, Mr. Thompson, presi- dent of the First National Bank of New York, asks the hand of the daughter Jennie. Of course the + first families” are much scapdal- ived. but the weight of the evidence seems de- cidedly against Mrs. Harris, the husband, daughter and affiauced Thompson testifying to most alarming improptieties on ber part with sundry officers and gay civilians, imcluding Major Williams, commanding Fort Trumbull. one Scoville, of the navy; G. W. Ricketson, and a festive Frederi: Miner. The most ardent and favored lover seems to have been the Major, to whom the tenderest Jetters were indicted, and who figures in the princi ac- cusations of infidelity. Harris saw Scoville embrace and kiss his wife on the verandah of his own house, one night, and she kissed him; he turned Scoville out of his dwelling. A ser- vant saw Miner kiss her, and she returned the kiss. Miss Harris saw gentlemen caress her mother in the reception room, and Mr. Thomp- son took Mre. H. from the apartment of Rick- etson ut 3 o’clock in the morning. Harris slapped her face for swearing, and for bad con- duct he struck her on two occasions—“chas- tised her,” be says. Her brother threatened to horsewhip him owed if he ever strack bis wife again, and did not strike her after that. She abused Harris, calling him by hard names and assuring him that she “hated him.” Once, for refusing to tell him where she had been on & certain suspicious occasion, he threw her down and choked her, to make her tell; but it seems he was unable to choke it out of her She lay stil] and let him choke her until he was tired. On the other hand Mr. Scoville testifies that the kissing of Mrs. Harris by bim, as witnessed by Mr. Brown, was &n unwearrantable - tinence on his part, and dove without the - mission of Mrs. Harris and before she could have suspected that he was going todo so. Mr. Miner explains his part of the transactions as being perfectly platonic, and Miss Minnie Har- ris contradicts the testimony of the servants as to the in n.
