A PROCLAMATION Whereas, satisfactory evidence was given me on the 13th day of September current, by the Marquis de Noailles, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Kepublic, that on and after the first day of October next, merchandise imported into France in vessels of the United States, from whatever country, will be subject to no other duties or imposts than those which shall be collected upon merchandise Imported into France from countries of its origin or from any other country in French vessels: Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested inme by law, do hereby declare and proclaim that on and after the first Gay of October next, 80 long as merchandise imported into France in vessels of the United States, whether from the countries of its origin or from other countries, shall be admitted into the ports of France onthe terms aforesaid, the disctiminating duties heretofore levied upon merchandise imported into the United States in French vessels, either from the countries of its origin or from apy other country, shall be and are discontinued and abolished.

Editor Scar:-—-We have been engaged this morning in celebrating the erection of the first pole of the telegraph line, which is to connect us by wire with the rest of the world. This work 18 being done under the supervision of General Dana, chief quartermaster of the de- partment. Mrs. Gen. Crook raised the first spadeful of dirt just as Mrs. Gen. Dana christ- ened the spot by the breakage of a bottle of champagne. The 23d infantry band discoursed a nice selection of music. Capt. A. H. Nicker- son, acting assistant adjutant general of the department, made a very appropriate speech, complimenting the Honorable Secretary of ar, Division and Department Commanders and Gen. Dana for their share in procuring the line &e. The occasion was graced by. ladles of headquarters and garrison, with a few from Prescott. All passed off glorioysly, and doubt- less every one present felt asiP it’ was the ginning of new era for Arizona, as telegraph lines are generally the forerunnersof railroads, At any rate we can soon flash over electric messages to friends in the east and feel as if we were not so far away from those we love and cherish. The line is to be erected by the labor of troops and will be under military supervision. The weather is most delightful here. We truly enjoy an Italian climate. Can’t we have some mention of this great day with usin the EVENING Stak, a paper every one reads here. 3 INCREASED FATaLity Ff vER.—A special from Shre Orleans Picayune says the has not abated. The numberof new cases in the heart of the city is emall, because all per- sons susceptible to the disease haye fallen vic- tims to it. The wives of Judge Levisee and Judge Looney have died. Capt. B. H. Sale, of the firm of Sale & Murphy, one of the oldest, wealthiest and most valued citizens of Shreve- port, died yesterday morning. Lieut.Woodrutt, of the United States engineers, is improving; it is believed he will recover. Sunday night there were’ two children at the headquarters of the Howard Association without father or mother or other relatives, allhaving died. Many simi- lar instances can be mentioned. The epidemic at 3 o'clock last night was on the increase; there were twenty interments up to 5p.im., and @ number of deaths had been reported since, Song them Dr. Wise. The number of caves reported yesterday exceeds that of auy day, many who have considered the: leing attacked. The colored people are becom. ing alarmed. Four colored persors were among the interments yesterday. There were twenty-two interments yesterday in Memphis, tucluding twelve from yellow fever. & CHOLERA AT Vienna.—A Vienna letter september 6th says: I'am sorry to say that 1olera continues, and shows no signs of abatement. Probably on account of the sudden change in the weather, the disease has increased within the past few days, and common reports greatly exaggerates the number of deaths. Of course the only correct figures are those given in the bulletins of mortality, which are always several days behind date, and it is a question, perhaps, just how far these reports can be taken as accurate. We are obliged to rely on them, howeyer, even though we take them with a cer- tain degree of allowance, for they are always negrer the truth than the figures given in popu- lar rumor. We can at least get au approximate idea of the extent of the disease. From the 30th to the 3ist ult. 71 casesof cholera were reported, and 22 deaths were recorded. From the 3ist to the Ist of September 90 persons were attacked, and there were 37 deaths. From the Ist to the 2d there were 82 case S4deaths. From that date there has been a slight progression in the umber of cases and in the percentage of the eaths.

Narrow Escare of PRESIDENT GRANT Gens. SHERMAN, SHERIDAN, AND Hooxer. Engineer Simpson, of the C. & P. railroad, yes- terday afternoon came very near immortalizing himself by running over the carriage contain: ing President Grant, Generals Sherman, Sheri- dan and Hooker, who, with others, had been visiting General Negley. The vehicle was ap- proaching the railroad croasi: t the Elevator. ‘he driver was signalled by the watchman at the crossing of the approach of a coal tratn, but the driver consid is distinguished passen- gers had the right of way, in preference to a coal train, and drove directly across the tracks, amidst the wildest excitement of the by-stand- ers. The locometive was checked up and the “cow-catcher” just hind wheels of the carriage.— Pittsburg Chron: ‘THE BURNED DisTRiCcT of Boston is being rapidly rebuilt, the str2ets widened, 1: water pipes laid, and the whole character or district with respect to fire risks chat .

Last night's telegrams and mails brought lit- tle in addition to our copious telegrams of yes- terday in relation to the financial situation, but that little is of a very reassuring character. ‘The New York Ezpress of last evening says “After all, only one bank bas suspended and two trust companies. The o.ficers of savings banks, both here and in Washington, as it tarns out, were much more scared than hurt, and in- deed half the panic has been a scare. ‘It is un derstood that the loan committee of the clear ing-honse have issued $5,000,000 Ipan certiti cates, and the bauks only required half that amount in to-day's busine: THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY COMMENDED. The same paper (democratic) says: ‘The talk on the streets to-day is decidedly more cheerful Every one seems to sustain the action of the President and Secretary of the Treasury. generally believed that had the President y €d to the clamor that beset him yesterd would have made a grave mistake, a panic would have been nati being concentrated within very narrow limits.”” CONFIDENCE NEARLY RESTORED. The New York Evening Post says:—< The day closed with an established improvement in the general feeling. One day more with the stock exchange closed will, it is thought, put everybody in such a condition, as far as the ex- ereise of reason is concerned. that it will be prudent for the brokers to again begin business. This afternoon money brought on the street as high as », per cent., that rate having been paid by distressed brokers. President Vail, of the Bank of Commerce, said this afternoon that confidence had been very greatly improved He thought the action of the government in buying five-twenties had been beneficial in loosening greenback THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF BONDS novenT ew York sub-treasury yesterday was 3,309,150. James T. Brady & ‘Co. and the curity Trast company, of New York, failed y terday. Manyof the New York bankers think the loan certificates should have been issued earlier, but all agree that this, with the pur- chase of bonds by the government, has aided greatly in restoring contitence, and ‘that there was no ground of apprehension for further dis- aster. It is td THE NATIONAL RANKING SYSTEM. A special from Philadelphia says ‘men who never before gave our national bankin, a thought are now loud in praise of th and commend the wisdom of the national gov- ernment in giving the country a uniform and safe currency. President much commendation in b firmness and sagacity dis fe ence on Sunday, at the Fifth avenue ho New York. The dullest man can now see the imminent danger that would have constan threatened the business of the country hat the President acceded to the bold proposals to place the entire reserve fund at the call of these New York speculators. EFFECTS OF THE PANIC EAST AND WEST, There was a considerable run upon some banks in Chicago yesterday, but they adhered to their resolution to fall hack upon the 30 and 60 days’ rule, and only paid sums of less than 3100. The largest assemblage appeared to be gathered at the State’s Savings Institution, At a meeting of bank presidents last night it was the general opinion that there ts no reason to fear any trouble, but it was agreed that in case any shoul arise, the banks will stand by each other tothe end. The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce yesterday aajourned until to-mor- row, in order to consult as to the requirements of the oceasion. W. Burt & Co., private bankers of Baftalo. Y., suspended yesterday. On account of the ncial panic the bankers in Little Rock, Arkansas, refused to take the city money which has been in circulation for years, and considerable excitement was the re- e usual. In Cincinnati a feeling of confidence prevailed, and the applications atthe banks for discount were comparatively light, and orders from the country for currency less than expected. ‘There was 4 run on the Trenton (N. J.) sayings banks yesterday, The directors claimed two weeks’ notice according to the'r charters, and took the names of all who wanted their money. A CANADIAN CORPORATION EMBARRASSED. A dispatch from St. Catharine’s,Canada, says the Canada Southern railway company have, owing to the financial crisis in New York, been obliged to cancel all their contracts for the present, and have ord¢red the discharge of all their workmen not em»loyed on regular trains running over the road. THE COOKE BROTHERS. The Sandusky (Ohio) Kegister says that the losses in that place by the saspersion of Jay Cooke & Co., even if the failure should be to! will not exceed £50,000, and that notwithstand ing the excitement which the news of the failure caused in all clacses ‘of the community, there was but one opinion among all—that the indi vidual members of the firm deserved no cen- sure, having acted honestly in their business management. The old friends and neighbors of the Cooke brothers expressed much sympathy for them, the Register says, and stand ready to offer assistance. The confident hope is expressed that the firm will overcome its difficulties, and the prediction is made that not a doilar of San- dusky money will be lost through the failure. ‘The “three brothers Cook ay, Pitt, and Henry D.—are all very well known in Sandusky, they having lived and transacted business there for some years. CARLETON’S DEFALCATION $500,000. The New York Tribune of yesterday says:— The only story of actual crime that has been developed by the breaking up in Wall street is the defalcation of Charles T. Carleton, sec- retary of the Union trust company. At the ex- amination of the affairs of the institution on Friday night, rapid and general as it was, it was discovered that at least $550,000 worth of government securities and railroad bonds, which had been kept in the new underground® safe, had disappeared, and probably as mach more. Mr. Carleton had lett the oifice late in the forenoon, and though when he went out it was sup he had gone to lunch, he has not yet returned. As evening approacued, and the secretary was still missing, rumors of distrust began to spread themselves among the officers clerks. Late at night the surprising dis- very was made known. Mr. Carleton has been ‘connected with the bank for five years, ard has not once until now been under suspicion. He is ason of the Rey. Dr. Carleton, former! of the Methodist Book Cancern, and it is stat that one loan of $20,000 was made to his father. Mr. Carleton lived in elegant style at No. 52 Oxford street, Brooklyn, where a Tribune re- porter found three servants, who were greatly alarmed at the absence of their master and the rumors they had heard of his doings. Lt wus learned that Mr, Carletou was last acén at home on Friday morning, when he left at the usual hour for the oflice, As he was traced by the detectives to the New Jersey Central depot, it isbelieved that the defaulter first went to his father’s home in Elizabeth, N. J., but nothing further concerning his whereabouts is yet known. IN WASHINGTON TO-DAY. Subsidence of the Excitement. ‘The Financial Storm Blown Over. ‘The financial situation tn this city to-day can be summed up in the simple announcement that unusual quiet prevails.
