They aseembled together, and through their spokes- man refused all offers of a compromise, de- claring thatthe President had no right to par- don Taylor, and that they would remain on the farm and defend what they considered their property agatnsi all new comers.

But few packages trom the West were received yester- day, which circomstance is attributable no doubt to the disposition on the part of the holders of what they concelye to be bona fide securities to keep them in their possession until some definite action to be taken in the matter of the declared counterfaits ts an- nounced by the government, while the parties who have been engaged in ‘shoving’: the bogus bonds will of course keep quiet for tne present, it being too greatarisk, now that tnspicion is on the yui vive, to attempt forcing Any more into circulation. Morriston & Pumam, brokers, received $3,000 yesterday from a correspondentin Cincinnati, ihrough the Manhattan bankers house in this city. Being in some doubt in regard to the genuineness of the bonds, they sent them round to the Sub-Treasury office for examination, in order to obtain the jadgment of the Govern- ment officials upon this poin!. The clerks there candidly confessed their iuability to de- cide with any degree of certaintyasto whether ornot they were bogus. Two of them, they said, they thought were good, while the others ‘were crrtainly counterfeits. Reig but ill sat- isfied with this questionable testimony as to their yalue, Messrs. Morrison & Patnam took ihe bonds to Jay, Cowke © Uo.’s office, whose experts declared them to be imitations. They ‘were conseqnently returned to Vincinnazi. A slight clue was obained to the parties who have b-en engaged in circulating these bonds in the information received that a certain in- dividual a day or two since presented $5,000 in tive bonds to a banking-house in Baffalo, where they were received, being subsequently ascer- tained to be counterfeits. The sentleman who received them states that he can tarnish an accurate description of the man by whom they were brought to the house, and steps have been taken to ascertain his present wherea- bouts. Much interest is felt as to what may be the éffect in Evrope of the discovery of this gi- ganic fraud. The seven-thirties being merely mlerest-bearing notes, the interest being pay- able in currency. they, of course, are not held to any extent on the other side; but it is fered twat fhe general reputation of the Government Paper may suffer in consequence of the public announcement of such an extensive issue of fraudulent bonds, executed with such acen- racy of imitntion &s to create grave doubts ‘with regard ‘o their sta:us—viz: whether they are complete counterfeits or duplicate impre: sions Nothing has yet been jearned tn t particular, the latest advices from Europe an- nouncing that nonews had been received from this side in some days, consequent y there are noreturns. Monday's dispatches are expec:ed to. con vey this intelligence. The fial action of the Government is still undetermiuea A committee has been bere for the last couple days, representing the interes: of the department, bat of the nature cf their labors but litue bas been learned, and of the result nothing. They examined spectmens of the alleged counterfeit, and sent tor experts to learn their cpinions concerning them. Yes- terday they concluded their investigation and returned io the capital Mr Vandyke, the Sub.Treaeurer in this city, is stiil awaiting instructions from Washington, having written for thet purpose. He bas )ikewise desired that A specimen of a bogus bond should be forward- ed to bim, and upon its arrival a farther ex- amination to discover means of determining the character of all seven-thirties, so as 10 pre- vent the further circulation of such of the counterfeit ones us are still ow’, will be had. It was reported on the street yesterday that @ detective from Wasbington was in New York on this business; but tt so, he did not call at the Sub Treasury, aud nothing could be learned of his movemants. ‘Speculation is as rite as ever in regard to the question whether these are counterieit bonds, or duplicate iseues of genuine ones.

That Mr. Lincoln did not leave his fomily wealthy is very evident; butno one, in view of the above inventory, will say that they are in the deplorable condition of “want” ap jestitution,” in regard to which the pub. lie has with so much astonishment just been informed. ‘We say this much, not for the purpose of preventing ‘personal contributions” from be- ing made to Mrs Lincoln, if she desires them, much less to deter Congress trom making a further appropriation for her support, which We should be giad to have it do; but simply in order that tbe people of the nation muy no: suppose that Mrs. Lincoln is in anything like destitute circumstances. Her income may not be sufficient to meet all her wants and nece: ties: but it is certainly large enough to main- tain her at least as comfortably as she lived before going to Washington.
