A NOTE OF WARNING FROM A VETERAN FINANCIER, At the annual convention of the National Association of American Bankers, which met in Boston yesterday, a letter was read from ex- Secretary McCulloch, from which the following extract is taken: “Let me say briefly, that there has never been a time in our fuan- cial history when wise counsels were more needed than now. The country is drifting finaneia!ly from old landmarks, Danger is menacing, which Congress adopts no ineas- ures to avoid. ‘The existing negative policy keeps the drift in one direction. Without a speedy change there will ere long be in the United States practically but one standard of Value, and that unfortunately will be silver. If anything is clearly taught by financial his- tory it ls that a. low standard of value places the nation that adopts it at great disadvantage in its trade with other nations, and at the same Ume aad consequently depresses its own in- dustries, A low standard is invariably an un- certain standard, tnan which nothing is more Prejudicial to enterprise, to trade, 1h iact, wo everything upon which national prosperity and ‘reliable returns for labor depends. The coinion that abundant and cheap money stin ulates industry and promotes prosperity has been disproved so frequently that its preva- lence in the United States is not creditable to the intelligence of the people. Money is abun- dunt the worid over. The rates of interest are lower thau ever betore, and yet. most branches Of business are greatly’ depressed, and prices of mauuluciured goods and of agricultural pro- ductious ure scarcely above. their .acttal Soa, and why? Simply because supply is greater uaa the demand; Uecause the revolution in all ranches of iudustry, caused by machinery, now felt in fuil torce.* Death of One of Garfield's Physicians. Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, the eminent surgeon and physician of New York, who became widely known throughout the country in 1881 as one of the physicians in attendance upon President Garfield, died yesterday at his home, 43 west 32d street, New York.

Dredging in the Washington channel under Benson & McNee's first contract was entirely completed July 34. Work under the second contract for dredging in the Virginia channel above the Long bridge, which was interrupted in June by the burning of one of the hydraulic dredges, was resumed July 5th by dreage No. 2, which had been at work in the Washington channel. Two clam-shell dredges and one dip- per dredge were placed at work on this con- tract July 16th. They are dredging on a sec- tion of the channel which is too far from the place of deposit to permit of the use of the hydrauile dredges. The material is dumped into a basin near Long bridge aud put ashore by dredge No. 2. Dredging, under the third contract, in the tidal reservoir, Was continued with dredge No. 1.

What He Says of Charges Reported as Having Been Made Against Him. The New York World to-day printed a Wash- {ugton special cnarging that Postmaster Conger had been writing letters to Michigan In behalf. of his father’s re-election to the U.S. Senate, and that the President's attention having been culled to thts violation of civil service rules Mr. Conger would be removed. A STAR reporter called upon the clty post- muster and exhibited to him the World's special. After reading it he said: “Iam not going to engage in a newspaper controversy about the matter, but L can say that I do not know what. the article meanj, I don’t know any members of the Michigan legislature or any of the candi. dates, nor have I written them any letters. As far as the office 1s concerned the President can have it whenever he wants it, I uta a republi- can and make no secret o!_my principles, but I endeavor to conduct the office in the interest of the people.” Why Mr. Hedden Resigned. THE REASONS AS STATED BY HIMSELF iN HIS LETTEK TO THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Hedden, in his letter to the President re- signing the collectorship of New York, says ne performed the duties of the office to te prefit of the government; that the collection cost less that under his predecessors. He compiains of misrepresentations about him, He says he found employes in the custom-house who were corrupt, ineflicient or careless. He says he thoughi the popular vote that put the demo- erat in power demanded that these men should be replaced by democrats who were better fitted for the positions. “I have,” he says, “acted uniformly upon this principle, while at the same time I have adhered to thé spirit and the letter of the elvil service law. Nevertheless, my course has been the source Of persistent misrepresentation and hostile attacks irom republican journals, which other- wise have supported Your adininistration.” Such attacks, he says, he felt might have a ten- deney to create the tinpression that he was hostile to the administration and might em- barrass the President. He therefore resigned. In closiug he acknowiedges the uniform cour- tesy shown bim by the President, Increased Pensio: for Disabled Vet- erans, FULL TEXT OF THE BILL WHICH HAS BECOME A LAW.

There is talk of further modifications of the ulesot the House, to.be made as soon as Con- gress reassembles, The new rules adopted at the beginning of the session just closed did not accomplish all that was expected of them. The friends of the fortifications project, which Mr. Tilden 80 earnestly advocated, are very much dissatisflea with the way things went during the session. They blame Mr. Randall for the failure of a fortification bill, and maintain that altogether too much power still remains in the hands of the chairman of the committee on appropriations, They complain of the power ey say Mr. Randall to defeat the fortification bill, ost dictatorial authority in conference. Of the two hundred and forty-three amendments made by the Sen- ate to the sundry civil bill the House committee On appropriations recommended concurrence in only twenty-two, all unimportant, and con- gurrence in one with a trifling aniendment, thus throwing intoconference two hundred an‘ twenty-one Senate amendments, most of which Were new propositions, many of an important character, and which were never seriously con- sidered by the House in any other way than when the conference report was before it. Of the two hundred and twenty-one amendments thus thrown into conference the Senate receded from seventy-four,—many of them of the most important character, When Congress meets in December an effort will therefore be made to restore the old rule requiring all the general appropriation bills to be reported within given period, oe A DESPONDING DEMOCRAT. He Says it is Hard to Tell How the Party Will Come Out of the Congres- stonal Campaign. A Sra reporter was talking today with a democratic member of Congress who has just returned from his district, and who has been watching things pretty closely all over the country. “It looks to me,” he says, “asif things were all at ‘sixes and sevens’ with the demo- crats, The people are shaking things up pretty generally at all the conventions, and it is hard to tell how the party is going to come out of it. In iny district I am betng fought because I was nota very warm supporter of the adininistra- tion. Cox, of North Carolina, a very good man, was cut off by his people because ne was friendly to the President. Wilson, of West Vii ginia, is being fought on both side—because he was, ‘and because he wasn't. Snyder, of the same state, is having such a figbt made on him that there is said to be great danger that are- publican may be elected in his district. The endorsement of the administration by the Indi- ana and Tennessee conventions was yery guarded and equivocal. Theorder of the Presi- dent's, that office-holders shall take no part in conventions is playing the mischlef with us. We have gut some of our best friends and the best party workers in office. Now they are afraid to do anything. They are tied up and shelved. Those who did not get office are tight- ing us. “The devil's to pay! Men holding office are threatened constantly that if they go toa convention off will go their heads.

PREPARATIONS FOR ITS REMOVAL TO THE NEW SITE, The removal of the Rawlins statne, as an- nounced in yesterday’s STAR, will be made by Col. Wilson, commissioner of public bulidings and grounds, as soon as possible, under the direction of the Secretary ot War who was au- thorized by Congress to select a new site for the statue. The transfer of the statue was brought about by the Army of Tennessee through @ committee of which Gen. W. W. Belknap was chairman. It was thought that ‘the memorial to the distinguised officer should havea more prominent site where it would catch the eye of the public better than in the out of the way reservation at the junction of New York avenue and 18th street. The new site, the small triangle at the southeast corner of Bennsylvania avenue and 9th street, was selected by the Sec- retary of War after conterring with the com- mittee, and it gives entire satistac- tion, ‘It will be necessary to remove some the many trees in the triangle, but a beautiful weeping willow is 60 situated as to gracefully overhang the statue when it is erected. The transfer will be made by contract according to specifications. A. con- crete foundation, tour or five feet deep, will first be built, and the statue will then ‘be taken down, boxed and moved and erected, facing Pennsylvania avenue, upon the pedestal upon which it now stands.’ The ltue triangle will hereafter be denominated as Rawlins’ reserva- tion, but the park at the Intersection of New York avenue and 18th street, will probabl: continue to be called “Rawlins square” until it igselected as w site fur some other statue or monument in the future, as doubtless will be the case when improvement of the river front is completed. Care will be taken that there shall not be another conflict of names lke that of Lafayette square and Jackson statue. ‘The only Way to rectify the trouble in this instanee, it is t, would be to move the statue of Wackson elsewhere and erect the proposed Lafayette monument in Latayetic square, for that name will always cling w the reservation.
