THE CONFERENCE WITH TIT PRESIDENT. Among these present at the conferenee of Wall street and m ntile interests with the President were Commodore Vanderbilt, Henry Clews, the Seligman Brothers. George H. Op , Secretary sencral Bat ; and a large namber of joar spent in this way, ax ‘er listening to the reading of the written we of several prominent members of the eom mittee, President ( and Secretary Rich ard-on informed the committee that nothing eould be done until the precise proposition hat been submitted. ASTARTLING PROPOSITION. A majority of the committee proposed verbal- ly that the Government shonld, if necessary, place the whole legal reserve of $44,000,000 in New York city banks. Secretary Richardson opposed this suggestion in the est terms, and said he wis utterly and inflexibly opposed to issuing any consilerable portion of the legal reserve lor use of the city banks. To use Rich- ardson’s own words, quoted on authority of one of the committee, “This, gentiemen, is not my funeral.” THE RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. The following was the result of the conference at the Fifth Avenne hotel. The President pos itively declined to interfere in the matter, as any action of his in the matter would be anoor stitational. 4 committee of bankers and mor- charts had come down to make @ final propos tion to the Government t issue thirty milhons of legal tender reserve. Reverdy Johnson is said to have given his opinion to the effect that tw use the legal re for this purpose is um constitutional. A proposition made by Vander Dilt wae declined. COMMODORE VANDERDILT’S VIEWS. President Grant and Secretary Richardson reqnested the committee to agree on and pre sent to them a report embodying their views as to what ought to be done on the part of the Goy- ernment, stipniating that the name of each one of the comunittee mast be appended to the pro- position. About 3 o'clock Commedore Vander- bilt entered the hotel, and it is said made the preposition to the President to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to place €4,00),009 of legal reserve in the banks of New York city wii on that eomlition he (Commodore Vander Dilt) would add $10,000,000.

Disbursements for the United States Nav; department, aeid by Jay Cooke, MeValloch Co., London, are transferred to Menry Olews & 0. WHY THE UNION TRUST WEST UNDER. A gentleman, who ts a depositor with the Union frust company, whom the reporter mot at the entrace late in the afternoon, stated that the company would never have gone under for an hour had it not been for the government. He said that on Thursday at noon $1,000,000 in government bonds were sent to the sul treasurer, with the request that he wonld ad vance on them €1,000,000, and when the govern ment sale was made to pat this $1,000,000 worth of bonds down as the lowest bid’ for that amount, no matter how low the bid of anybody else might be. ‘Tis proposition was re“use1”" added the gentleman, and 90 the folks went under.”” r. Worcester and the direotors veverally declare that the snspension will last but for a day or so at the very longest, and that the assete of the company are so ample that every depositor would be ecrtain to dollar for every due him, even though the deposits were greater than they really are. STATEMENE OF AUGUSTUS SCHELL. The vice president of the company, Mr. Augustus Schell, was seen yesterday evening by @ Herald reporter, and the various points of the directers’ statement were ited to him. He said that the $1,760,000 was paid by (ic U it that only a of that Lake Shore Union Trast Company $1,750,000, that amount.

TRE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. General Nettleton, the agent of the Northern Pacific raiload, gives this infermation in regard to the condition of that company: “The rail rond company loses nothiag by the suspension of the b King honse of Jay Cooke & Co., as it indebted to the latter. ‘Che raiirom! company has no floating debt of any conse- quence aside from what itowes Jay Cooke vo, and has few abilities falling due bef: January next when a year’s interest is to be met.

HOPEFUL VIEWS OF THE NEW YORK HERAED In its money article of yesterday, the New York Jivrald says the panic started with the failure of one or two parties identified with incomplete railroads. “The stook market at the ime was ina feverish condition, responsive & ight causes and treamuleus in the extreme. Its strength eonsisted in two or three stecks, firmly upheld by great operators. They had come t be regarded as the key-note of the market Even these, however, could not at last resis the pressure. They “ broke,” ami in doing # naturally carried with them the entire list of speculative secunties. Thus the weakness of a few railroads has extended through the entire network of our local finance. The pulling down of one or two great houses produced distrust Money, always timid, retreated into private re cesses. Depositors commenced to run upor banks; the banks have been unable to atlor’ their usual accommodations, have refused eac) other's checks, though certified, and at last, as a conseq nence of universal doubt, have been com "ome in self defence to arrange with the clearing houre for the issue by the latter of certain lal: eerliticates based on aeceptable amets, whieh are to be reect ved im the setlement of all clear ing house differeness in the piace of legal-ten cally this aemen eyo em ecers oe wanders. it ads neon Codon! der notes. « Pi of of tt ie yee te Dams, bee woubles reselt only from Crops are good; business is first-rate; eur mar ebants bave rarely done better than they doing this season.
