THE NATIONAL BANKS A MILLION AHEAD. WALL STREET, SUNDAY, March 16, 1873. The week has been ravher a quiet one in Wall street, if we except a brief spell of activity at its epeniag ip connection with wild ramors of in- tended relies of THE MONEY MARKET through the help of the Treasury Department after the manner of the transaction of last October, and the speculative operators have made ne important demonstration. During the week we have had the election of Mr. Boutwell te the United States Senate by the Massachusetts Legislature, but the change in the Treasury Secretarysbip thus implied has had little influence upon speculation, for the reason that Judge Richardson, the present Assist- ant Secretary, was generally accepted as the suc- cessor of Mr. Boutwell, especially as General Grant has virtually acknewledged that he would make the appeinument. Toward the close of the week, however, circumstances arose to indicate that the original plan was likely to be medified, if net changed, under a pressure from New York capital- ists to have THE NEW SECRETARY come frem the metropolis of the ceuntry. The eb. stacie to an appointment in the latter spirit is the presence of Mr. Fish in the Cabinet, who is from New Yerk and prevents another appointment from the same State. The arguments used with the President were potent enough, according to Wash- ington advices of Saturday evening, to induce him vo ask time for a fuller consideration of the matter and to postpone any nominatien for Secretary of the Treasury until he has kad ample time for delib- eration, Doubtless Mr. Boutwell will make it a poimt to withhold his resignation until the Presi- dent has come toa conclusion, The friends of JUDGE RICHARDSON are sanguine, hewever, that he will be nominated, although his appointment may be made with the understanding that he will resign soon after. The ramors already referred to on the subject ef Treas- ery inflation were. found 4 be based upon the issue of about two million dolfats of thé7So-calied re- werve of legal tenders, necessitated by the low state of the Treasury currency balance and the sudden demand of nearly twe million of dollars to | meet the enlarged payroll of the retiring mem- bers of Congress. As Judge Riehardson was charged with the responsibility of this new issue in | the nominal absence of Mr. Beutwell, who appears to have turmed over the Treasury Department to the Assistant Secretary several days before the election in the Massachusetts Legislature, he made baste to explain that he was OPPOSED TO INFLATION of the currency, and would retire the new green- backs as fast as the Now of funds into the Treasury enabled him to do 80, their issue having been a temporary expedient. He kept kis promise so far that the outstanding new greenbacks had beer re- @uced to about one million one hundred thonsand dollars on Saturday might. The local money market worked independently of any consideration connected with Treasury operations, nd gradually relaxed asthe weck advanced, the rate on Monday having ween '4 per cent a day, and on Friday as low as 5a 6 per cent per annum, with ep Saturday # reaction to 1-32, and an eventual de- cline to7 per cent. The domestic exchanges are beginning to turn in faver of New York, and, unless interrupted by the irregular nd uncertain outfow im connection with THE “APRIL SETTLEMENTS,” ought to bring us steadily easy money within the next few weeks. The gold market, acting in conform- ity with the imferences deduced from a study ef the growing prosperity of our toreign trade, went off | early one per cent as compared with the previous | ‘week, and was prevented from a further and per- haps more serious decline only by the inflation of | the legai tender eirculation, Government bonds were generally lower, with a decline in the 1867's to 116 and in the currency sixes to 113%. The stock | market was unsettled and in the main lower, a sharp advance early in the week on the rumors of | Treasury belp to the money market being fellowed © ‘pva general decline, Which, in turn, was succeeded by a reaction of more or lest exient. | LATEST PRICES OF GOVERNMENTS.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES. The only importamt feature in the market for the Southern State bonds has been an advance to $6 in the Tennessees, which were in demand for further , Settiement of railroad indebtedness to the State. At the close the price fell off 34 a 4 per cent ander liberal sales vw realize the profit ef the improve- ment. The Louisiamas have been nominal and neg- lected, aad New Orleans. city sevens, whieh were drought out at 75 and have regularly received their | interest, have declined to about 60 asa conse- quence of the political demoralizatiom in the city | and State.

The weekly statement of the associated banks is unfavorable, but the changes are agaim unimpor- taut, the logs in net reserve being only about sixty thousand dollars. A further decrease of three qudr- ters of a million in legal tenders is regarded as an indication of a continued withholding of greén- backs from circulation fer speculative objects, as the domestic exchanges are opposed to any out- Ward movement ef currency. At the same time a joss of aboat two hundred thousand dollars in spécie is a surprise, as, with the diminished ex- Ports of the week, an increase of specie was rather to we expected. The banks, to meet this draft upon their reserves, have centracted the item of loans about two and a quar- ter miluens, so shat the deposits show a reduc- tion of nearly three and o half millions, The DEFICIENCY IN RESERVE, A which % about $260,000, still continues cen- fined to the State institutions in the Clear- ing House Asseciation, the amount lacking on their part being $1,314,060, showing that the national banks hold an excess of about a million doilars, The statement compares with its pred- ecessor of last week as follows :— March 8.

COMMERCIAL REPORT. Cotton Easy; Receipts at the Ports, 12,407 Bales—Flour Duall—Wheat Nominal— Corn Dall—Oats Easier—Pork Firmer— Lard Weak—Petroleum Dull—Groceries Quiet but Steady—Naval Stores Nomi- nally Lower=Whiskey Firmer. Sarurpay, March 15—6 P. M. Commercial matters have been unusually flat ail through the Week which has juat closed, and there has been a tendency to a lower basis in prices of very many ef the leading articles of merchandise. The Spring trade is very backward and the indica- tiens are anything but reassuring, The demand fer goeas has not been so active during the past week as it was during the preceding week, and the aggregate business proved much smaller, The @ry goeds business has been dull, while the hardware trade has suf- fered considerably, priees having been quite generally revised and almost aiways in the interest of buyers. The cotten market ruled dull and nominal all through the week, while greceries were quiet as a rule. Breadstufls were exceedingly dull all through the week and prices were almost entirely nominal. The impossibility of procuring transpgrtation to Europe was sufficient of itself to restrict Siupments, but there has been no manifest disposition of consequence to purchase for export for a long time. On Saturday the flour market was simply dull and nominal, and it would have been impossible to seil to any extent at any price. The same is true with regard to wheat, for whieh there was no demand, and prices at the close of ‘Change were wholly nominal, Corn was inno better condition and nothing of eonsequence was done. Oats were dull and lower, Whiskey was firmer and the market left off strong at the imprevement cited below, The movement in provisions was fair during the early part of the week, but was only moderate during the latter part of the week, though the market for pork was strong and closed on Saturday with consid bie firmness. A pretty heavy business was done in lard though toward the ¢ ose of the week the market ruled in buyers’ favor. Freight room and tonnage were scarce, and coming vessels had been chartered again ¢ arrival. This is especially trae with regard to | Vessels engaged in the petroleum trade, many of which were taken up in advance of arrival en specula- tion. The scare ‘ht room and tonnage is one of ihe most prominent features of the times, and tends more than aliuost any other one thing to retard the exp Movement of produce. In the grocery market there atairtrade in sugar during the week; but toxd | (Saturday) the marketswere all quiet, coffee, in parti | lar, being duil and nominal. Petroleuin was firmly eld, but more ar less nominal, Naval stores were neglected | and entirely nominal, Correy.—The market fi scriptions, continued ¢ | tirely nominal, in the a Rio, as well as for other de- Prices were weak, but en- e of sales, We append our former quotations, as tollews:—Kie—Ordinary cargoes, 17Kc. a Ise. fair cargoes, Tie. a Ls | 1940. a 0c: ; Prime cargoes, for at. & DU 180, a Angostu Curacoa, 18. a 19e., go | ETON the deman t t Consumption.........+.

To-night the railroad fight will be resumed in the New Jersey Legislature.» This week promises to be lively on railroad matters, for, while the General Railroad bill is to be acted on in the Senate as the main issue in the contest, George W. Patterson’s bill No, 69, in the Assembly, is simply a second edition of Assembly bill No. 3, which occasioned so much trouble heretofore. If the General Railroad bill be passed, however, without any material modifiea- tion the railroad fight will be at an end for this ses- sion at least. Senator McPherson ts pledged to its passage, and there is little deubt it will become a law, perhaps within five days. The following points were submitted to the special committee having the bill in charge by J. Daggett Hunt asthe basis of any general railroad bill which will satisfy the public. Mr. Hunt destred to offer some arguments in favor of the bill, but written communications only would be admitted by the committce:—~ Hon, Jonn R. McPnxnson, Chairman of Senate’ Spesial Committee :— : Your committee haying decided tion, submitted by Mr. Stone, ot Union, that no “oral argument” shall be listened to on a general or free rail- road law, upon either side, but graciously consenting to ive due consideration to ‘all communications made to em im writing, I beg leave to submit the following points, a simple brief, without argument ;— First—A tree bill, in'fact as well as in name. applicable to every county, ward or township of the State, without appeal to the Légisiature for special privilege. cont—The Assembly Dill, No. 8, issuing from the popu- Ueaterday, by resolu- lar branch of the Legislaiure, Is éntitled to primary ¢ sideration, by priority of introduction, as by the unpre- cented vote by which it was adopted. Third-—Under this law the clay banks and mar} as well as the iron mines of the State, saying nothi the numerous cities, towns and vii facilities, will be made acc troduction of capital and la Fourth—With or without a beds, ing of es now Without rail- sible, inviting the im- ilroad commission, which I recommend as a supplementary act, to regulate the bridging of tidal waters, connections with existing high- ways, the protection of vested rights, ac., 1 affirin that nife-tenths, if not nineteen-twentieths of the railroad franchises now applied for from the various counties of the State can be established under the general act adopted by the unanimous vote of the House of Assembly. Puuk—Nearly all the great States of the Viton neve already adopfed such a law, and in no instance has a motios been made for its revea: Sizth—From east to west, or, in other words, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, New Jersey is and must ever be a public highway, continental, even tranconti- nentai in its character, because over otir soil passes to- Li the products of China and Japan, also of the Indies mth—We must at forever give a death blow to monopoly, irse and dishonor of the State both at home broad, which nothing buta gen- eral railread law can accomplish, putting an end forth- with to all unjust discrimination against the property or Persons of our own and of citizens of sister States, Fighth—Corruption must be purged trom the Legisla- ture, and the pampered sycophants of Monopoly must be told that their “occupation is gone.” Every disgrace in legislation, trom the Federal Capitol at’ Washington down to the sent of every State Legislature, is traceable to the abuses springing out of railroad franchises or sub- e8. Ninth—Tt concerns not only the honor, but the sov- ereignty of the All corporations must be the sub- Jects, not the masters of the people. Respectfully submitted, | AGGETT HUNT, Senate bill Ne. 138 will also come up in the As- sembly on special order. This is the bili which the President of the Senate refused to sign on the ground that the require? netice of appli- cation had not been given, A warm debate in the Assembly on this ee point resulted in the pestponement of the consideration of the bill till this week. It ts really intended as a set-off against Patterson's bill, No. 69, To show the straits in which the Tom Scott men were placed in the Assembly on the discussion of bill No, 138 it ig only necessary to remark that Letson was ebliged to call the attention of the Speaker to the busy intermeddling of two members—Carse and Plympton—who were busy lobbying in the interest of the bill during the debate. Letson will speak at the banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick, im Jersey City, this evening, to the toast of ‘Free Railroads—the oniy guarantee that New Jersey shall become what nature intended her to be—the great highway te the West and South; and Patterson will respond to the toast of “The Legislature.” POISONED BY MISTAKE, Im Newark yesterday Mr. Fred. Shenkel, of No. 19 Orange street, near Newark, made a fearful mistake, which may cost him hislife. He had been ailing and doctoring himself. Supposing it te be medicine, he swallowed two onnces of \< tion of zinc and hydrochloric acid, Medical aid ‘was fortunately promptly called in and strong an- tidetes administered, nignt Mr. Shenkel was alive and the hope was entertained that his lufe may be saved. BIGAMY IN NEW JERSEY, A Newark Butcher Arrested for Having Two Wives. Winser Stockblower is a butcher doing business ‘on Central avenue, Newark.

SHEET. | eg b THE BOOK SEASON. ee Literature has @ sort of natura! history apart from the recognized classes or subjects Into which books are necessarily divided. For mstance, if we speak of theological or re- ligious books every reader understands us 48 meaning a class, If we speak’ of Catholic or Protestant, Episco- palian, Methodist, Presbyterian, High Church or Low Church or Broad Church books, a subdivision Of @ class is understood, But these subdivisions of classes are still (urther divided, Everybedy is familiar with the pecu- liar religious books which frighten little boys into being bad because all good little boys die young. Everybody is familiar with the peculiar religious books which describe the bad boy who, metapnori- cally speaking, never could catch any fish. Again, everybody is familiar with the peculiar religious books which give the last words of some good man, these “last werds” being generally extended into a very bulky volume, To the books last named Belongs a work entitled “The Parting Words of Adolphe Monod,” which is just published by D. Appleton & Co. It is a beok of evangelical piety and faith, and contains Monod’s Sunday discourses while lying ona sick bed. Bodily suffering accordingly enters largely into the reli- gious discourse. But by indicating the ‘natural history” ef the book we give an ample description of its contents and a suMcient criticism of its merits, We can apply the same rules to other classes of books, notably to biography. Everybody under- stands exactly what kind of a book to expec when he reads on the title page “The Life and Times” or “The Travels and Adventures” of some- body. So clearly is this ‘natural history” of blog- raphy defined that we can tell every grade, from the dignified nistory of the life of some great man to the foolish and insipid story of some nobody who has managed to obtain an equivocal recognition. Baron Stockmar, in his “Memoirs,” makes him- self a much more important personage than his royal masters, and yet he was only a little, time- serving German doctor, hanging about the courts ef King, Leopoid of Beigium and Queen Victoria, no more entitled to regard than David Rizzio or John Brown. 3 Sometimes the books of this class are interesting, even if they are noxious; sometimes they are only noxious, One of thé purely noxious books is “The Bona- parte-Patterson Marriage, with the Secret Corre- spondence,” by W. '. R. Saffel, and “published by the proprietor.” A foolish Baltimore belle, seventy years ago, Married one of the most inconsequent ofthe Bonapartes. The marriage and its subse- quent history were as much a scandal as if she had eloped with her coachman and he had afterwards deserted her for the housemaid. Mme. Bonaparte, after the diverce, lived a life as dignified as that of her even more unfortunate sister, the divorced Empress. She still lives, and, though a very old woman, she still preserves the dignity of her character, and when appealed to about the publication of this book she said it was a-matter of indifference to her. But the book was published in direct opposi- tion to the wishes of Colonel Jerome N. Bonaparte and Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte, - The “secret corre- Spondence”’ consists of some old letters found in a waste paper warehouse in Baltimore. Tie letters are unimportant and the work is the work of a bun- gler. The book is not a contribution to history because, beyond the fact that a silly and ambitious American girl married a weak brother of the First Consul and was kicked out of the parvenu family by the Emperor, there was nothing to tell. This every- body knew, and consequently the “proprietor” has committed an indefensible outrage on a respectable lady who in her youth was weak enough to think it Nonorable to wed a Bonaparte. Another department of the natual history of literature consists of books of anecdotes, para- doxes, &c. These always have a certain kind of Popularity and “no library ts complete without them.” “A Book of Epitaphs,”” published by G. W. Carle- ton & Co., is a characteristic specimen of this species of literature. Many of the epitaphs in this collection have been floating about for years, but every time the book is opened most of them will appear new. These epitaphs are a singular illus- tration of the feebleness of the human intellect and of the incengruities which are sometimes thought to be works of affection. And what 1s more singu- lar still is the fact that nearly every old graveyard in the country will show specimens as remarkable as any in this book. The following, attributed toa tombstone at Gettysburg, Pa., Remember, maa, as You pass by, that You must die as well as I, is a common inscription in this part of the country, and is repeated over and over again in the same graveyards, Somebody must write the natural history of novels. We have befere us several specimens, each ofa different class. One of these, by John S. Sausade and published by G. W. Carleton & Co., is called ‘Mark Gilder- sleeve.” It is an American novel—the puerile American novel. Another American novel, published by D. Apple- ton & Co., was written by Mary Healy, a daughter of the artist. The name of it is “Lakeville,” and the scenes are mostly laid in Chicago. Some of the incidents take place in France, as a matter of | course—no American novel! is complete without something of this kind. But, on the whole, “‘Lake- ville” is one of the best novels of the season. The style is clear and sometimes strong. The characters are typical, and some of them have an individuanty | that is exceptional in the American novel. The book will bring reputation to its author and credit to our literature. “Not Easily Jealous," a novel publistied by James R. Osgood & Co., is a conventional English story, good enough to read and not too good to be neg- lected. “Robin Gray,” a story of Scoteh life, is the latest addition to Harper's library ef select novels, MUSICAL REVIEW. tai iileiy The fondness of young ladies for trashy, senti- mental songs and showy but empty instrumental pieces may be attributed, to some extent, to the evil system of teaching music in vogue in the pub- lie shools. These institutions, admirable in other respects, are entirely deficient in the very funda- mental principles of music, More trash in the musical line is circulated in public schools than anywhere else, A few inconsiderate teachers make @ great parade at exhibitions of a few of their pupils who may be giited with good voices, and compel them to warble selections from operas or glittering baliads before they know how to sing the scale. In England and Germany pupils at the public schools are instructed in the first rudiments of music before they are permit- ted to induige in cavatinas and arias, and no such nuisances as those namby-pamby collections of school songs which our publistiers issue every month are allowed to be used. There music is a science and is regarded as a reguiar branch of education; here it is only an accom- Plishment. When @ regular superintendent of music is placed over the public schools, and the pupils are taught to read the notes as Well as their books, we may look for a higher standard of com- positions than the trash of the present day. We may not then be subjected to the reproach of not having a@ representative vocal society in this city capable of singing oratorio, Such works as “Sam- son,” ‘Israel in Egypt,” “Judas Maccabeus,” “st, Paul,” &c., are sealed against us on account of the ‘want of @ system of general musical education in ourschools, We trust that some measures will be taken by the Board of Kducation to supply this want. juis Berge, Fourteenth street, publishes a work of great merit and evidencing prefound musical thought. Is is ‘The Lord's r,”? by Signor Tamaro, 4 tenor, who was formerly a bright orna- ment of the operatic stage. The style is impresst and devotional, and the themes are of rare beauty. Of ail the new works published during the present season we know of none to be compared with “The Lord’s ars by Tamaro, The same publisher has brought out a charming little song, called ‘I’m a Merry G; Maiden,” by .

Brup- tions in the Form of Defalcations—His Responsibility for All the IJ] Deeds of His fyubordinates. General Patrick H. Jones, Postmaster of the New York Post Ofice, returned on Saturday night from Washington, where he had been to tender the resignation of his office to President Grant. General Jones was in Washington several days and met the President and consulted with him on various occasions, Yesterday a HERALD reporter called upon Poste master Jones at his residence, at the Irving House, and asked*nim if he would consent to give the rea- Sons for his apparently sudden resignation, General Jones said :— My resignation has been in contempiation by me some time, and has, I assure you, no political significance whatever. The President and myself are in perfect accord, and in my visit to Washing. ton he treated me with great and kindly consideras tion, There has been no misunderstanding be- tween us, und there was no reason in my resigning | but that ofmy own volition. I may say that in my | term of office I have entirely satisfied the Presf« dent, and I don’t think I could be repreached with anything that was not in perfect accord with the views of the party. But the fact is, I was growing afraid, There have been more or less defalcations during my time in the Post Office, and- these have worried me exceedingly. You see, 1 WAS RESPONSIBLE for the good conduct of every man in the Post Office, and was held personally responsible for any mistakes or deficiencies which occurred. It wag like sitting on a voicano, and { did not knew at | what moment some big defalcation might occur for | which I was sure to suffer. This constant bar to my peace of mind was too much for me, and, per- haps more than anything else, caused me to tender my resignation. idid so at present to give ume for the Senate before the adjournment to act upom the appointment of my successor in office, though my term only expires on the Ist of May. But there were other reasons besides what I have mentione which impeiled my resignation. One was that | felt that it was impossible to properly do the work | of the New York Post Oitice with | THE ACCOMMODATIONS AT PRESENT AFFORDED. | It was -like boring an auger hole with a gim | let, or like putting a bushel of corn into ; @ quart measure. have been as _ weld aware as anybody else that the Post Office facilities were not what they should have | been, and that the public had reason to be dissatis- fled. The press has been very kind to me in this way, aud has been very lenient to faults which— and I should be the last one to deny it—have ex- istea. I did my best, but it was ofno use. And still another consideration with me in resigning was that I was just offered a very geod opportu. nity in a partnership in my ewn profession—tha | law—which will pay me better than anything the | government could give me. The reporter asked General Jones if the defaica- tions which he spoke of would affect him or hia bondsmen. He answered, “No; that be gave bonds in ee but that they would not be touched. Me had sufficient property of defauiters to cover the amount of defalcations during his term of office. These amounted to about one hun- dred thousand dollars, not a cent of which would be lost to the government, to himaelf or his bonds- men. THE NEW OFFICER NOMINATED. “Is the report that Mr. Thomas L. James is te be your successor true?’ asked the reporter. “Yes. He has already received the appointment by the President, who has sent instructions abou it to the Postmaster General. The name will be sent to the Senate to-day.” General Jones made the of his successor, | Who, he said, will take the place on the first day | April, as his own resignation only takes effect after the 3ist instant. He said in conclusion that he was glad once more to be able to get a night’s rest. Mr. Thomas L. James, who succeeds General | Jones, is a gentleman of very fine capabilities, it ig said, and one who is generally popular. He at | present hoias the position of Deputy Collector of The Third Warehouse Division of the Custom © House. He is also chairman of the Civil Service | Commission of the Collector's Office. Mr. James is a stanch republican and orginally came from Hamil- | ton. Madison county, where he started in life as @ journalist, He has held a responsible position im the Custom Honse for many years.
