SECRETARY RopEsone was in Baltimore on Saturday, and while in the orphans’ court at- tending to the settlement of the estate of Mrs. Harriet Pennyman, his mothgy-in-law, he said, in response to an inquiry, that he did not be lieve that the United States government would discharge any of its employes in that city.

Tae PRroposep Frencu Postar Treavy.— Nothing has been heard from the French min ister in response to the last proposition of our foverBment relative to a new postal treaty tween France and the United States. This Proposition is to the effect that the rate gn , letters be nine cents; that this Tatebe [ee paid in every case; that all letters for France be delivered free, and that the same thing be done in this country with leiters coming trom France; and that each government retain the amount of postage paid within its limits. In the present unsettle: te of affairs in France, it is not probable the treaty will be negotiated for some time to come. Tae Crvit Service.—The First Auditor of the Treasury, D. W. Mahon, in his annual re- port to the Secretary of the Treasury, makes the following recommendation regarding civil service: “Embarrassment and delays have arisen from tardiness in filling vacancies which have occurred under the present system oi a Tr this connection, it i- re: ‘ully suggested that with a view to avoid such hindrances in the future, whenever exam- inations are hereafter made by the civil service board for original appointments, the number examined may be increased so as to have a re serve force, from which vacancies can be filled during intervals of the examinations. IT HAS BREN A ED that the house of Jay Cooke & Co., which borrowed from the First National Bank, of this city, nearly $800,000, has since their failure withdrawn two hundred thousand dollars in Central Paciti railroad bends and deposited them with the Secretary of the Treasury as security for the $200,000 advanced by the Secretary afew days before their failure. The creditors of both the First National and Jay Cooke & Co-’s bank are complaining of this, saying they would like fo.know why the government should be a pre- ferred creditor. They say if the Cooke's have two hundred thousand dollars it belongs them, and that the government has no right to deprive them of their prorata dividend. AxoTHER Inpian CounciL To-pay.—The chiefs of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arrapahoe In- dians in this city, had a council with Commis- sioner Smith, ot the bureau of Indi; and Acting Secretary Cowen. at t terior department to-day, relative to the maintenance of peace between the Utes on one side and the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes on the other. These tribes have been war with each other for ars, and itis the intention of Commissioner 'h to bring about a treaty of amity between The chiefs of the tribes shook and mad bg err pein pg of their differences. Ouray, head chief of the Utes, said there would be no trouble if the Cheyennes and Array to were in favor of peace, but could make no definite arrangement until they see and talk with their you: missioner Smith informed them, he would have “peace between them. ‘Tue Pvstic Domaix—Kgrort oF THE Com- MISSIONER OF THE GENERAL Layp OFvics.— The following annual report of the Commis- sioner of General Land Office will show the total number of acres of public domain disposed. the to be 13,030,606 against of dari the fiscal i k i : iH r f GOLD AND SILVER. jepert of the Director of the = Mint. HIS VIEWS AS TO THE RESUMPTION OF SPECIE Pa 8. Dr. Linderman, Director of the Mint, has submitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury. The amount of gold and silver deposits and purchases, coins struck, and stamped bars manufactured during the fiscal year was as follows : $59,997 429 45 9 43 SPHAKING OP SILVER COIN, he says :—It is quite certain that the deprecia tion of silver and appreciation of United States currency will before long enable the govern- ment to purchase silver bullion with gold, coin it on its own account, and pay out the resulting silver coins at their nominal value. At th Present rate for sliver and premium on gold the operation would net the Treasury About 10 per cent. This plan could not, it is believed. do injury to any interest, but would be productiv= of much benefit to the precious metal mining interests and business of the country at large. and sheuld be adhered to until specie pay ments have been resumed on a substantial basis. From the most reliable data obtainable, the AMOUNT OF GOLD AND SILVER COIN IN TRE countRY is estimated at $135,000,000, and subsidiary sil- ver $5,000,000. The silver com is principally in circulation in California, Oregon, Nevada, Ida- ho, Arizona and Texas. The increase to the stock of coin in the country has been at a very fair rate since the Ist of april last, and the in- dications are that, although there may be occa- sional exportations, it will gradually go on until an amount sufficient to enable the country to safely resume specie payment is reached. This much desired result, however, will depend upon conditions that cannot here be discussed. THE TRADE DOLLAR OF SILVER authorized by the coinage act, is designed ex- Pressly for export, and has no fixed value as compared with gold. It may eventually, if the price of silver relative to gold falls suficientiy, to some extent enter into home circulation, but its export value will always be in excess of that of the subsidiary silyer coin. ‘Khe issue of the trade dollar was not comme nced until nearly a month after the close of the fiscal year. It been shipped to some extent to China and Ja- pan, but we have not as yet received any ac- count of its reception in those empires. ‘The report discusses at length the subject of international standards and the condition of COINAGE IN ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, Interesting data has been received tarough our ministers abroad, and a more comprehensive exhibit made of the gold and silver market than ever before. ‘This is the first annual report of the director One important fact is brought to light, viz: that the gold coinage of the world is less’ by three hundred and fifty million dollars than the tables accepted as reliable set forth. Heretofore the value of gold bars has been counted twice—once as gold actually turned out, and once as the actual gold value. The Fi cial Situation This City. The clearing house association meets only semi-weekly now, and its business has become very small, the amount at the last meeting being but $800. It has been agreed to continue the arrangement until the present panicky feeling dies out, in order that the banks of the associa: tion may avail themselves of the privilege of issuing certitied checks in case they should deem it necessary. It is a precautionary movement and is taken to protect the depositors of bank: in the association. AN of the banks are paying out greenbacks again, but none of them deem it advisable, under present circumstances, to do anything in the way of discounting. On Saturday week the debtor banks of the as. sociation paid the creditor banks one-fourth of their indebtedness, and will pay another fourth on Wednesday of ‘the present week. The no- tices given by depositors of the National Sav- ings bank have expired, and up to Saturday but about one-quarter of the amount involved in the notices had been ealled for. This is consid ered an excellent indication, and a sure sign that public confidence bas been to a great ex. tent restored. The Freedmen’s Savings bank required sixty days notice, which does not ex- pire until a month hence. Tre YeLtow Fever in MEMPats.—The weather in Memphis yesterday was rainy ani cloudy, and if it continues an increase of new cases of yellow fever is dreaded. Coutribuatiun« of relief continue to pour in from all quarters The Appeal contains particulars of an alleges frnud practiced on the commissary department of the Howard Association by Acting Mayor Cicalla. It is charged that he made requisitions for cae tered in the name of idow li known to be destitute, and secured supplies of food and clothing for herself and family of eight persons, and four persons of the family of her sister, a victim of yellow fever, for thirty days, and ap- propriate the same to his own use. _———— A Severe Remxpy.—A sailor named Harka- way, age in south 5th street, near Union avenue, Broo! lyn, applied for medical aid at the eastern district dispensary yesterday. The unfortunate man was meres deaf, and dreadfully scalded on one side of his face and neck. To the doctors, he said that on Tuesday night he returned to his home drunk and lay down on his bed. His wife, en: at his con- duct, took a kettle of boiling wi , and while her husband was asleep, poured a portion of the contents into his left ear. He awoke rather reeanty and has since been eomning eet: Thed rs do not hold out any hope to Harka- way that his hearing will ever be restored.—N. ¥.

The Situation at the Close of Last Week ‘The depression in financial and mercantile circles in New York continued on Ssturtay- The outlook, though not considered encour- aging, is still suffictently so to make it posmble for country to tide over a very as crisis without ‘lasting injury. Tae New York Herald of yesterday, in an editorial review o! the situation, says *The well-known dry goods house of H. B. Claflin & Co. is reported as on the verge of failare, but its assets are greatly in excess of its liabilities, and if the worst comes to the worst an extevsion on the part of the creditors is all that will be required to save it. The same thing is true of the Spragues; but unfortunately In their case they are said to be pressed by a rival combination which seeks their ruin at whatever expense to the operatives in their mills and the mills o: other manufacturers. The clearing house state ment yesterday was favorable to the banks, which is worth something at an unfavorable moment for business. A number of the Bucha raiiroads—notably the Kansas Pacitic, Bur lington and Cedar Kapids and Chesapeake an: Obio—fatied to pay their November inter: esterday, &nd they, and others like them, likely to fall to the level to which Buchu al: fallsin the end. his was practically the situ ation at the close of the week. But the danger is not past, apd even with the succor of the houses of Claflin & Co. and A. & W. Sprague the danger will not be past. What is required more than anything else is a spirit of matual helpfulness.” lnqutzy eee Dat, somes TRADE. nquiry among dry their transaction dealers shows that ns are very light. Dealers are to press business, and sales are slight wantsof the current trade. The tailure of Hoyt, Sprague & Co. has had a depressing effect, and the rumors about Clatin & Co. have sufficed to bring the dry goods trad- almost to @ stand-stili. (ne dealer said tha: slaughtering was about the only thing now tak aoe ‘his dearth of trade, it is thought, will continue until it can be definitely ascer tained that the difficulties will be overcome. In this event business will take a fresh start irame- diately. THE HOUSE OF H. B. CLAFLIN & CO. Mr. Dunn, of this firm, in an interview with reporter of a New York paper, said as far a- their house was concerned they desired the pub lic to know everything. ‘It is true,” said bi “that we are suifering a little embarrassme: by having allowed some accounts to mature but as regards notes, they have all been eer met. We do not sell our own paper ut we do that of other houses with our in dorsement. Perhapsone of the principal causes that have led to our present embarrassment i+ that we overreached ourse to assist Hoyt, Sprague & Co. Ido not care t say we purchased of them to the amount of « 4 million this week, but we bought very heavily We are now negotiating for assistance froin tome banks and other corporations, If suc assistance is not obtained the firm will ask fo: an extension upon acconats. Notes will be me at maturity, the current receipts being ampli for that purpose, and failure is simpiy Imposs bie. Our assets are far in excess of dur liabili ties.” H. B. Claflin & Co. notified the associateu bauks at their meeting Saturday, through on of its members, that they not in need o: any assistance. If we sycceed tu our effort everything will run along in the regular grooves If we fail to get assistance we will be compelles to ask an extension; an extension upon our open accounts, not notes, for our current receipts ar ample to meet calls. Now, don’t understand me to say a fatiure is at all probable. It is sim ply absurd to think such thing possible, Ou assets are far beyond our liabilities, and for om. to believe that we can fail is to stamp the per son an idiot. ADDITIONAL DEFAULTS IN THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The bankers of the Kansas and Pac‘fic rail road stated that they had not yet received any funds to pay the November interest, and did not know when any would be forthcoming. The same was said for the Burlington and Cedar Rapids railroad company. At the office of th bankers of the St. Louis and Southeastern rail road it was ascertained that that company would not be able to pay off the interest until next Monday, when, however, it is proposed to do sv without doubt. THE FAILURE OF THE SPRAGUES. At the meeting of the bank representatives in Providence, R. I., after the reportof the committee (printed in Saturday’s STAg) was presented, B, F. Thurston, counsel for A. & W. py apeese in behalf of the members ot that firm that they are in full accord with th committee who bave made this recommenda tion, and propose to adopt in full the recom mendations of the committee. Senator Spragu has retired by voluntary consent from the pies- idency of the company, and Amasa Sprague ha- designated to ail the place. deed has been prepared for the purpose of se curing all the 4 me and assets, private and corporate. for sap ay ed bod Ce : itors of <4 company, agreeably e principles suggeste: in Teport. oe sg of creditors will be called at an early day, it is hoped = will see that the plan which has been veo and the execution of it is the best possible thing, under the cir , that cau be done for interests. THE SPRAGUE DEED OF TRUST. The Providence Journal to-day says the pro- posed mortgage deed of trust covers the entire amount of property, not only of the A. & W. Sprague Manuafacturing Ly , but also the private property of the individual members, and that the whole is pledged for the payment of notes to be given in equal amount for the present ins ness, which notes the creditors are asked to accept in place of the obligations that they hold. ese notes are to run for three years, at7 3-10 per cent. interest.

All the factions of the right have pyc meery Be oc to move a pro- Jongation of President McMahon's term. There is a difference of opinion as to the length of time. Some favor making McMahon presilen: for life, and others are for extending his term six or ten years. All are determined to continu the existence of the present assembly. A motion will probably be introduced postponing tts dix solution three years. It is rumored that an attempt will be made to arm the government with dictatorial powers similar to those ted in 1852, and to introduce a bitl prohibiting any jt elections to fill the vacant seats.

Timer, 31 Tue INVESTIGATION OF THE BaRcuer ScaN DAL TO GO oN.—The grievance committee of Piywouth church propose recommending the church at large to expel Theodore Tilton from its membership on the ground of his having made scandalous charges against Mr. Beecher which he refused to justify. Mr. Tilton, in re fusing to be cited vefore the committee, claimed that as he had not been a member for four years he was not amenable to them. It was feund, however, that his name still remained on the books, and he had made no formal renunciation of his’ membership. The committee will proceed to examine Mr. Henry C. Bowen in re ard to-similar charges made against Mr eecher. A minority of the church, satisfied with Mr. Beecher’s denial, are desirous of let- tng the matter rest, but a majority consider that any breath of Immoral suspicion against Mr. Beecher wili tend to mar his good intlaence upou society, and wish, therefore, to clear him entirely.—N. ¥. Cor. Phil. Record. Hazine at A New Hawrsuire Acapewy.— A few of the students at the Union academy at Canaan, N. H., made an unsuccessful hazing experiment the other night. Having no par- ticular love for one of the village boys, on Wed- nesday evening they met him, and commence: reasoning with him by tying his hands and feet and blin a him.
