New York, June 2&—Chatrman Barnum, of the democratic national commfttee, and Hon. Smith M. Weed, a well-known democratic politician, visited Mr. Tilden yesterday and again to-day. Little or nothing could be ascertained as to the result, if anything had been accomplished in the way of agreeing on a ticket or in reviving the old ticket. ‘Mr. Barnum insists that Mr. Tilden should be nom- inated In spite of his declination. ‘The gossip about the 5th avenue hotel is very much in favor of the old ticket.

New York, Wall street, 1:40 p. m.—The Post says: The stock market was stronger this forenoon, and the decline which occurred just before the close yesterday was more than recovered, the result ing that at 12 o'clock all the active stocks, except, inion Pacific, were from ¥y {0% per cent higher than at the close last night, and at the highest point, about 11:30 this ‘forenoon, all” the Active stocks, except the Union and Central Pacifies, touched fractionally higher prices than the highest Union Pacitics, however, touched a lower price than ever before, at 28%, a8 did also Central Pacific, at 317 about 10:30 this morning. There was no news’ of any kind affecting the general situation, and the upward turn in prices Was largely a natural reaction from the extreme depression of the two previous days. Some of the short interest was being covered. ‘The expectation | also of a favorable bank statement had some effect to Strengthen the market in advance, and when the bank statement appeared and showed quite as favorably as anticipated there was a further ad- ‘vance in prices. ——— The Baltimore Markets.

ME. SQUIER AND MR. EDMONDS, Decision of Judge Cox. ASSIGNEE SMITH TO GIVE BOND—THE CONTESTS OF THE SAFE CLAIMED BY MR. EDMONDS TO BE SCHEDULED AND, IF REPLEVINED, A BOND OF $60,000 To BE GIVEN. In the Equity Court this morning, in the case of T. C. Crawford against J. H. Squier & Co.—bill for a receiver and account—which was argued yester- day, Judge Cox rendered his decision. He sald that it was due the assignor to say that the paper ap- Peared to be perfectly honest and that it did not appear to him that any fraud had been shown. The Dill was filed asking that the trustee or assignee be removed, he having been appointed to take charge of the assets for the benefit of the creditors. ‘These creditors had a right to be secured, and it was not sufficient that the assignee should have a character for integrity. Such character 1s not suf- ficient security, and the courts Tequire trustees to give bonds. In these days of disgraceful defalca- Uon dntegnty of character 18 not a business se- curity. He saw nothing to reflect on the assignee as to Integrity or business capacity, and it may be that It would be pertectly safe that he should be continued. It was not, however, a practice to be encouraged that business men’ may assign thelr property for the benettt of creditors ‘and no bonds be taken tosecure them. He had come to the conclu- sion that the assignee should, by Tuesday next, file a bond with good security for the faithful perform- ance of his duties, and tn case of his refusal or in- ability, then to appoint a receiver. Mr. Cook said on the question of the amount of bond, that the claims he represented amounted to over $50,000. Mr. Shellabarger remarked that Mr. Smith would endeavor to produce a satisfactory bond, and he asked how much it must be and in what forin. ‘The court said he was yet in the dark as to what Trould be the proper amount, but It should read “to eU. 5 Mr. N. Wilson read the petition of Commisstoner Edmonds, asking for an order turning the safe over to him, which petition was published in TRE STAR a few days ago. Mr. Wilson sald that he was will- ing that the rights of the creditors should be recog- nized, and suggested that a schedule of the con- tents of the safe be taken, Judge Cox remarked that the answer of Mr. Smith, the assignee, showed that there was some question as to Mr. ‘Edmonds’ rights, and he could not decide on this petition ina summary way. He suggested that by writ of replevin Mr. Edinonds could obtain the safe, and the creditors would be protected by his bond: Judge Cox satd the recetver should be granted authority to open the safe, and see what might be in it on which the creditors had a claim. Mr. Wilson remarked that Mr. Sinith’s answer was to some extent unnecessary, and in some par- Uculars false. ‘There were in. ‘the safe vouchers, some due July 1st, and they desired to get them, and were willing to account for them, Mr. Cole suggested that Mr. Wilson could accom- plish what he desired by writ of replevin, Mr. Shellabarger asked as to the vouchers, stating that they would like to know the contents of the safe. Mr. Wilson said that a schedule would be made. ‘The court said the marshal would make a sched- ule of Its contents, gnd he wouid fx the amount of the replevin bond at $60,000. THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. What Would Happen if the Civil Sundry Bill Passed in its Prevent Form. CHTEF BURRILL SAYS THE REVENUE STAMPS WOULD STILL BE PRINTED BY BIS BUREAU — BUT TRE EMPLOYES WOULD SUFFER A GREAT REDUCTION OF PAY—WHY PRIVATE CONTRACTORS CAN DO THE WORK CHEAPER THAN THE GOVERNMENT, &<. As stated In yesterday's Star, a clause In the civil sundry appropriation bill as it passed the House provides that bids should be invited for printing the internal revenue stamps, which are now printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing, and that the work shall be given to the lowest Uidder, unless the bureau will do it as cheaply. “What will be the effect of the measure if 1t passes in {ts present form?” asked a Stax reporter of Major T. M. Burrill, chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Prinung. It will not passin that form,” sald Major Burrill. “I mean by that that [am sure when the meaning of the bill 1s thoroughly understood tt cannot The effect would be to cut the heart’s blood out of the eniployes of this departinent. The work will never co away from here. We will doit, but we will have to cut down the compensation of’ all the employes” “If Congress chooses,” continued Major Burrill, “to tum ‘over its dies, rolls and plates to private parties without any safeguards, then I have noth- ing to say. Tt might as well let out ts mintimg by private contract, and could do so with greater se- curity, forif so ‘much gold or stlver was given to contractors, 80 many goid or sliver dollars could be required tn return. “Why ts 1t possible,” asked Tax Star, “for private firms to do work cheaper than the government?” ‘The question 1s often asked,” satd Major Burrill, ‘why we cannot do the work cheaper than private firms. Itis true we have no rent or insurance to pay, and no interest to pay on capital But Con- ress has passed a law which makes seven hours a Gay's work in the burean, Private establishments can Tequire ten or twelve hours a day from their workmen. They get from 3) to 40 per cent more labor a day. It must be remembered that 9 per cent of the cost of printing internal revenue stamps is for labor. When in New York recently I visited ‘one of the bank-note establishments there, and saw Uttle girls, ten or twelve years old, working for one dollar a week. We have in the bureau four hun- dred soldiers or soldiers’ orphans doing the work Uhat these girls were doing, and pay them $1.25 @ + If this bill passes we will have to cut their ‘ages right In two, and give them 623 cents a day. We have here every safeguard. We have checks and counter checks, affording absolute security. ‘There is the custodian’s room, which costs twenty- five or twenty-eight dollars aday. We have watch- men and counters. Notes, securities and stamps arecounted thirty-fve or ‘forty Umes, at different stages. before leaving the bureau. Some sheets are counted fifty-two times. If an error 1s committed it can be traced in five minutes. Every one who handies a note puts his mark upon It. If you have afive dollar note in your pocket I can teil you every person who handied the note while It was passing Uhrough the bureau. Now, in private es- tablishments the sheets would be ‘counted twice, ‘once When they came in and again when they went Out. ‘This security costs something. Tt costs $300 an hour to run this bureau. Its costs $300 a day to WHAT COMMISSIONER EDMONDS SAYS, In response to a question by a Star reporter as | to whether he would like to make any statement for publication, in view of the present status of the Squier failure, and what had been sald in court ‘terday on application for the appointment of a | Tecelver, District Commisstoner Edinonds said :— “Nothing at all, only that that Is my safe, and the sare mine ‘lso. Thave before sald that quer Was using my money,and I had be ome time endeavoring to withdraw what I had loaned him, as I wished to Invest 1t In a different manner, buf Mr. Squier importuned me so much not todo It, I let the matter zo by from time to time, but T wished to get even with him and stay even! | ‘The fact Is, f will be more of @ loser probably than any one of the creditors, and my position 1s that of a victim. No, I prefer to make no statement at all. ‘There seems to be a disposition On the part of some to make mischiet.” District Deficiencies LOCAL ITEMS IN THE PENDING BILT.

Cross, who was arrested last March by Detectives Raff and Block (deputized by the marshal of Maryland) on the charge of back- ing policy in the District,and which has been pend- ing before the Baltimore authorities, was this afternoon decided by Judge Bond, who remanded him to the marshal to be sent here for trial by the Police Court. “U. S, Commissioner Rogers some time since comm! tted Cross to the custody of the marshal and Mr. A. B. Williams served out a writ of habeas corpus, and, before Judge Bond, raised the point that the Police Court here was unconsti- tutional, being a court without a jury. Judge Bond rendered his decision this afternoon dismiiss- ing the writ and remanding Mr. Cross, who will be brought here this afternoon, ‘This decision, in the opinion of the police authorities, is a. very. import ant one, as under it parties ch: with misde- meanors here can be pursued to Maryland and be brought back. sing Out the Detective Cases, A NOLLE PROSEQUI ENTERED IN TWO CASES TO-DAY. To-day, in the Criminal Court, before Judge Wylle, Assistant District Attorney Taggart entered a nolle pros. in indictment 14,786 against George W. McFifresh, George O. Miller, James A. McDevitt, Joun W. Coomes, Joseph Acton and Augustus Voss for compromising a felony, found on the oath of John Henry Murphy et al. Also, in mdicument. 14,675 against George O. Miller and Charles Gay for larceny of the Christlancy diamonds, September 16, 1881, on the oath of James L Christlancy and Thos! Donohue. Mr. Taggart said, in entering the nolle pros, that he was convinced’ that he could not sustala the cases, owing to the inability of the government to \every | publica | propriations committee to make the aj | resent | of New York, and M. E. ¢ secure the government against loss, by carelessness or dishonesty. ‘That 1s, it requires about an hour to secure all the plates, rolls and sheets. We know every evening before the bureau Is closed Just where we stand, and we don’t close the bureau | until we do know it. ‘That security costs something, butitis worth all that 1s paid for it You could have no such safeguards if a private establishment did the work. ‘There are two men under indictment here now for attempting to bribe employes of this bureau to smuggle out plates.” “IE the bill passed, and you did not do the work, what then?” asked ‘hag Star reporter. “Well, that would require the discharge of 400 or 800 of our employes,” sald Major Burrill, “but the ork 18 not going’ away from here.
