KEARNEY IN THE TREASURY VAULTS—Dowr Among the Greenbacks.—When Kearney hal finished his visit to Acting Secretary Hawley yesterday afternoon, he called on Treasure Gilfillan. After announcing “I am Denni Kearney,” he expressed a desire to examin: the vaults. The treasurer gave hima guide, who conducted his charge down where Uncle 3 isstored. Standing in the vaults ptt | moved his hand toward the shelves on which were piled the greenbacks, and said: “That's the kind of money we want. We don’: Want any of that,” pointing to the gold and sil- ver. As this had no visible effect on any of the clerks in the vault, he added: **You ought to give two thousand dollars of these green- backs to each of the — men in this country to go west and buy farms.” It was Suggested that there was no authority for this “Fut the eee to wok up stairs and make plenty of the people’s m@ney,” said Kearney. One of the clerks, well up in finance, gave out seme hard money arguments, and asked seve. ral hard money questions. Kearney did not answer, and turned to his faithful Browa and invited him, by look, to help him out. Brown hesitated, and finally came out with: “What you Say may be very true, but Kearney’s argu- ments are the oues that take with an audi- ence. THE CLERKS in the Medical Museum are exercised to know whether it is the intention of the Seeretary of War or the Surgeon Gene- ral to tuke fifteen days from their vacation, a3 all of the clerks are to receive fifteen days leave in a body, to enable the carpenters put a new floor in the buliding. AMERICAN TRADE WITH BRITISH GUIANA. Mr. Philip Figyelmesy, the American consul at Demerara, British Guiana, in a report to the Department of State, dated the 26th ulti- mo, in relation to the interests of American commerce in that province, says that a Cana- dian line of steamers is now in course of being established torun from New York to Deme- rara, touching at intermediate ports in the West Indies. The Bahama, the first of the line of steamers, arrived at Demerara on the 2d of July. The Bahama is a very inferior vessel, and will very inadequately supply the wants of American commerce, and the consul is therefore of the opinion that the necessities of our trade with t_region can only be Properly supplied by the establishment of an American line of steamers, with ample accom. modations for freight, and comfortably fitted = for passengers. He is coufident that such a line would be very lucrative. The govern- ment of Bri Guiana is very desirous of | having such a line established, and has ex- Deir t willingness to grant a subsidy of 000 in aid of it. Although freight cannot now be brought from the United States to Demerara with any regularity, some merchants there have, never- theless, Commenced to import cotton goods, boots, shoes, hardware, and other articles from the United States, "This difficulty would be overcome by the establishment of ‘the pro- posed line of steamers to the great protit_ of American commerce and manufactures. The consul expresses the opinion that a bazaar, popes, conducted at Demerara, for the sale of American manufactured goods, such as cot- ton cloths, cutlery, hardware, boots, shoes, hollowware, &c., would yield a profitabie re- turn. Another advantage which the consul says he has information, would result from the establishment of the proposed line of steamers would [ihn pig aud guardians in British Guiana would then prefer sendin their children to the United States to be edu- cated rather than to England, inasmuch as th> voyage to the former country would be much shorter than to the latter, and would, there fore, allow them to pay flying visits to thei chidren quicker than if they had to go t England.

He traveled along the border from the Rio Colorado to the Rio Grande. He says that should be done by the representatives of Toth countries to als about a better condition of affairs. There are better Ways, he thinks. of accomplishing this (hau by the marshaling of troops asa men: the border. The high tariff on products of the two countries engender 2 ercourage smuggling. This, he si ove of the principal and overlooked caus tie trouble on the border. Almost rer ei is in sympathy with the smugglers. He vances the assertion that the only effective cure, the most peaceable and permanent soiu. tion to the entire problem, 1s “reciprocity” between the two countries, by means of a treaty of commercial amity tor free admission into both countries across the border of their respective products. He concludes by asking: “Have not England, France and Germany quietly obtained possession of the bulk of the Mexican trade, while the United States nas been setth her border difficulties by cor- respor +, commissions, threats and armed epecun ATORNEY GENERAL DEVENS returned to the city this afternvon from Massachesetts.

SENATOR BAYARD, of Delaware, spoke at Newport. in that state, yesterday afternoon on the subject of “Our ‘Present Financial De- pression.” The distinguished Senator said the reaction following the late civil war, high tariff duties, an imported merchandise,and above all, the uncertain and disordered condition of our movey, were the main causes of the present State of depression. Money has a legal and also a market value, and, although the legal value may be prescribed by statute, no govern- nent can establish its market value. In this county, at present, there is really no scarcity of money, nor is there any neéd for more money. The soje basis of business is credit; that 18 the best shield of the poor man, and it demands that the bill first contracted shall be first paid. With this view of the matter. the Senator said that the Ba) ent of bonds not yet due was unwise, and if one-fourth of the money paid out of the fants Treasury to pur- chase bonds not due had been expended in bringing demand notes to par and restoring specie P33) ‘ment, there would not now have been a Aros jon now as to how our bonds were to be paid in, for it would not matter whether gold or paper were tendered, providing the demand notes of our government were held to be as good as gold. The Senator then turned his at- tention tothe argument that our greenback currency should be enlarged so as to absorb and replace the national kK currency. In reply to this he said that as national bank cap- ital ‘was taxable, while greenbacks are not, they would thus cut off one source of the rev- enue, and 0 produce more untaxed wealth. A -WorkIncMaNn-CaritaList.—Mr. J. H. Walker, a Worcester shoe manufacturer, who appeared before Mr. Hewitt’s Congressional committee on Tuesday, has had the advanta; of having, like many other capit ° vanced from the Se fon of a “journey 0” to that of a manufacturer on a large scale. He takes a hopeful view of business prospects at to heart wy a Frod many workers just starting out in Iffe. le says: “I don’t believe there ever was a time when a man with fair ideas could not rise to be an employer, and the chance was never So good as to-day, certainly in our trade. In credit our first requirement is char- acter; then the fact that the man had been a journeyman, and, lastly, capital.” The foun- ation of his belief that the avenues are open to capable workmen to become employers of labor is his own experience and that of many firms, his rivals in business. He worked at the bench until he had saved four thousand five hundred doliars, when he started business, and. by strict attention to his trade, (not through speculation,) he now commands a business of two milion dollars per annum. He says that of twenty-one firms in Worcester, including oy men, making five million dol- Jars’ worth of boots per =e, only five mem! of the firms are sons of manufac. turers, and only one was not a wages worker or journeyman, MARYLAND Potitics.—The democratic Con- gressional primary election in Montgomery county, Md., will take place to-morrow, the contest being between Messrs.

The credentials settled ‘by the convention admit- ted the Neale delegates from the first ward of Alexandria, and excluded all the Orange dele- | gates, and admitted Hunton delegates in all other contested cases. A permanent organ- ization effected, with Judge Richard Par- ker, of Winchester, as president, George A. Musbback, of Alexandria, secretary. and one vice president from each county. The two- thirds rule was adopted. Judge Parker deliv- ered an address, after which the conyention adjourned to 8o'ciock. At that hour green- back resolutions were introduced and referred. After considerable disorder, arising from a greenback speech by Mr. Ream, of Culpeper, after he had been declared out of order, an after personal SES nee by Mr. Triplett, of Culpeper, a friend of Mr. Neaie, he nominated Gen. Hunton, The names of Mr. Neale and Mr. Menifee were withdrawn, and General Eppa Hunton was nominated by acclamation. 1. Neale was invited to the convention, and spoke in advocacy of Gen. Hunton’s election. yen. Hunton returned thanks for the nomina- tion. Representative Blackburn, of Kentucky, made a speech before the convention un the Political issues of the day. The feeling in the convention, which had grown very bitter, was aprensed and Mr. Neale’s speech had a good eltect. The contest will now be between Han- ton, regular conservative nominee, and B. Johnson Barbour, independent readjuster. The convention adopted a resolution in favor of the repeal of the resumption act, for the re- peal of the tax on state banks, in favor of the greenback currency, and opposed to further extension of jurisdiction of federal courts. The convention, by a vote of 102 to 59, abol- ished the rule long prevai'ing in this district requiring a two-thirds vote to choose a candi- date, and then adjourned. The Yellow Fever. FIFTY DEATHS A DAY IN MEMPUIS. The increase of deaths from yellow fever continues without abatement in Memphis. From 6p. m. Wednesday to noon yesterday the interments numbered 50. Father Wal! of St. Bridget’s, and Father MeGarvey, of Peter's, are dead, also H. H. Harden, mer- chant. W. C. Woodruff is reported in a dying condition, Sixty new cases were reported between 6 p. m. of Wednesday and noon yes- terday. Ata meeting yesterday morning of the board of health Dr. Lawrence reported a fearful condition of affairs among the colored people in some localities. They are crowded together i Tow filthy quarters, and are an easy pre: isease and death. Hundreds of them have been sick for days, without medical attention. TN NEW ORLEANS. The weather in New Orleans is warm and showery. The situation isunchanged. At the suggestion of General Superintendent Van Hoiue, the telegraphers’ relief committee yes- terday determined to extend its field of opera- tion to all fufected points south of Canton, Miss. Thisincludes Vicksburg and Port Gib- son. So far fourteen telegraphers in Naw Or- leans have taken the fever. Of these one has died, three have recovered and the others are in a hopeful condition. ALS LeT DowN ON Is have oe con- earney a reception at the Cooper Institute on the 6th of September. There is no enthusiasm shown in the matter, but the leading men of the party having invi- ted him here, seem to think they are bound in Lonor to give him peed 8 This isa very different sort of programme from the one that was o1iginally marked out for the California orator. He was tohave made a speech from the steps of the treasury building in Wall street, right in the presénce of the wicked bondholders, ard after that he was to address a Mmeetivg in the open air, at Union square or in Washington parade ground. Bor this let- ting down it is needless to say Mr. Kearney has nobody to thank but himself His rhetor- ical extravagances have convinced the more reflee! men of the greenback party that they will lose more th n they will gain by him, while many of the workingmen who were dis- posed to look upon him as the man for the times, have come to the conclusion that he is a goud man to have as little to do wi has pos- sible. You may have noticed by the way that in bis later addresses Kearney does not speak so warmly of General Butler as he did when in Boston. This is believed to be the effect of a let er the general addressed to him no long since, tendering him some unasked advice as tothe necessity of cultivating a better style. I am credibly informed that Mr. Kearney, within a few days past, has been in receipt of a second communication of a similar tenor from the same guarter. It would doubtless be cod reading if he would give a copy of it to ie newspapers. It will probably, find its way there anyhow in due time, as Butler always keeps a bay be his correspondence.—[V. ¥. Cor. Phila. Press. THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFER- ENCE at Paris has adjourned sine die. No votes were taken. The American delegation again unanimously urged that some positive action be taken, but only obtained the decla- ration formulated in the reply of the European lelegates yesterday to the propositions of the Americans, viz: The necessity of rescrainlay the monetary use of both silver and gold aa the freedom of each state to use either or both and allow or disallow the free coinage of sil- ver. A correspondent, summarizing the gene- ral result of the conference, says existing com- plications preclude the formation of a mone- tary union. The English delegates pronounce the consequences of German demonetization disastrous. Monometalism is advocated by only three small states. The sentiment against the further d-monetization of silver is over whelming. The influence of the conference is deemed important for the future of silver. Epigon’s Latest Success—A new adapta- tion of Edison's telephone has just been car- ried into effect by the Gold and Stock Tele- graph Company. it is styled the telephone exchange, and by its aid subscribers to it can be instantly placed in communication wich each other by signifying their desire to the central office. Experiments in this direction have already been made with the Phelps mag- apecunen but they resulted in failure, the sound of the voice being drowned by tha noise of the street, the vibration of adjacent wires, &c. With the Edison instrument, which is worked with a venga ponies are none of these inconveniences. There are plain printed instructions framed in each instru- ment, and the poreing a the whole arrange- ment is simplicity itself—[N. ¥. Times.

R., 30 miles from Sedalia. The principal cere fi business of all that part of Lafayette county is done b; the Concordia Savings Bank, of whica J. H. Lohoefener is president, and A. Ficker, cashier. Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, three men entered the bank. One of them asked the cashier, who was alone in the bank, to change aten dollar bill. While he was chang- ing the bill another man jumped over the counter and caught the cashier by the arm, and placed one hand over his mouth. They then took what mye Gee ia sight, and put- ting a pistol to the cashier's head, told him to open the safe. He did - under fear of his life, and the robbers took all the paper money in the safe—between $3,000 and $1,000—refusing to take the silver, of which there was between 000 and $3,0001n the bank. During the rob- Ty a gentleman named Sodeman was near the bank, and one of the robbers, whe was ‘uarding the door, called him to advance, stead of which he turned and ran.

Chadsey was also arrested on a charge of peiocming an operation in the case of the gitl Devine. All the parties were committed. It is alleged that Clute was inti- mate with the girl McLaughlin, and that she enticed the gir) Devine into Clute’s store and then aided him in the assault. Clute is a mar- ried man, and the girl Devine is very respect- ably connected. The affair has created an ex- cited feeling in this city, as it is the most — one that has ever occurred here. The Devine was a pupil at one of the Schools, and was called from her studies at the time of her first interview with Clute by the girl McLaughlin, and several times subse- quently, on false representations to her teacher. —_———_ Wall Street To-day.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS—Fforts to Prevent the Capture of the Convention bj Butler.—A — dispatch to the New York Jimes from Boston, August 2th, says:—" The most influential of the Butler democrats were absent from the meeting of the democratic state committee to-day, and those present, in- cluding Edward Avery, Leverett Saltonstall, Geo. W. Gill, of Worcester, and Frank Bird, were very pronounced in their declaration that the Capture of the convention by Butler should not be allowed, and that none but re- cognized democrats should receive nomina- nations on the state ticket. The meeting was private, but it is well understood that some- hing was said about bolting if the Buller ele- ment should get control,and that there was talk of naming a late day for the convention for the purpose of driving the Bi relement to show its hand. It was finally, li ver, de- cided to call the convention for the [7th of September, and at Worcester. In the hotel corridors, during the poe of the meeting up stairs, there wasalarge gathering of demo- cratic po i icians, avd the impress ot from the talk of those from the country distriets— in the Western part of the state especially—was that Butler had secured as signers to his titions a large number of democrats, and be Was going to make trouble. Altogether there was an ill-concealed feeling of distress au the situation shown by ma rot these politicians.
