TaMMANY—It does, and in proof that her fears are well founded it is only necessary to state that Dut a few days ago Apolio Hall, or, at all events, Ata old leader, O’Brien, was éngaged fishing after a COMBINATION WITH THE CUSTOM HOUSE PARTY. On that occasion O’Brien, Tom Murphy, Colo- nel Arthur and Brobdignag Davenport were closeted in a private room in the Clarendon Hotel ‘Weaving their magic spells to catch democratic ‘votes for Murphy, who aspires to fill the Senatorial ‘vacancy in O’Brien’s district, REPORTER—“Can such things be and” —— TaMMANY—No need to finish the quotation. I abswer, yes, air. That was the principal subject ‘of discussion, anda pretty kettle of fish O’Brien Znust have made of it. He knows that ne hes wearcely a leg to stand on himself in the district, ‘and how he could promise to help Murphy in & walk over astonishes even his best iriends. He @could hardly have thrown much dust, however, in ‘the eyes of the Custom House Ring, for they know well that OLIVER CHARLICK ASPIRES TO THE REPRESENTATION tof the district, and that as the official appointer of Anspectors and canvassers of election he can insure ‘dis own election, no matter under what flag he sails. Like Tommy Dodd, “when he goes in he’s sure to win.” But we were speaking of Tammany and Apollo Hall. REPORTER—Yes; and I will ask you one more question in that connection. What inducements, @fany, does Tammany Hall hold out to the recalci- trant leaders of Apollo to return to the fold and to heir old allegiance TamMany—None. whatever as an organization. ‘But, believing that there are good men in Apollo Hall who deplore division and who are anxious for the success of the democratic party—city, State und national—and who wil) not allow themseive? to be cajoled inw wasting their strength in striv- angto exhume and galvanize dead issues, Tam- many ¢: sts that these men and the masses—the Done and sinew of the democracy in this cliy— will ‘ray themeelves in favor of the candidates oo Mean to present—men who wili command the ct of all classes of their fellow citizens—and at through the masses, irrespective of party suinbolethy s whether it be tammany Hall or Apollo ‘will vote for these men, and once more %& democratic © supremacy in the pa werting again to the OBrien, Daveliport & Co. meeting at the Claren- could EP O’Brien give, out- macot Avalie Paik in ‘bare ing with the Custom nae Why, one can pledge himself tothe devil an = i end tae 4g ail O’Brien could do ry ith Tom Mu: or Dave! oul take & Corporal’s on rd with pearls to be. hos aimesnct, atst Ad ininy posses Loa debe certat Sean bus enuirely set. to him, and Morphy musi i te si ana ihe couldo’t be surer of that tact.

But even beyond and above these are the real earnest work- ing men of the organization, who have no self- seeking in their efforts to break down the self-ag- grandizing policy of Tammany, which they and the honest working masses labored so hard to accom- Plish in their opposition to the ring rule of Boss ‘Tweed and company.

What was the Sergeant-at-Arms of the last House but a “con- tractor’ imported from an Eastern State? He contracted to do his duty, and did he not do it well? George Washington Julien, ex-member of Con- gress irom Indiana and ex-candidate for Vice Prealdent of the United States, has abandoned the women’s rights party, arrayed himself in a hickory shirt, butternut trowsers, hand-knit suspenders and o chip hat and joined the ranks of the Patrons of Husbandry. ‘The St. Louis Democrat avers that Ignatius Don- nelly in Minnesota, Grinnell in Iowa and Colman in Missouri, are foremost, in their respective States, among the politicians who are trying to steal the Grangers’ thunder, and loudest in their entreaties that the “honest farmers” be not misled by “political hacks.” A LOCAL POLITICAL TRAGEDY.

Position WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 1878, The Secretary of the Treasury this morning stated that he would pay all bills against the gov- ernment and thus put tn circulation ag mach cur- rency as possible, as he had abundance of cur- renoy to pay all claims without drawing on the forty-four millions reservé, His order to Assistant ‘Treasurer Hillhouse yesterday was not to revoke the sale of gold, but simply directed the Assistant Treasurer not to accept any bid below the market price, As the proposals were for such a small amount and the price below the market, the Assist- ant Treasurer declined to accept any. The Secre- tary gave no order to revoke the sale and does not Propose to do so, President Grant’s Correspondence with Secretary Richardson The financial programme of the Treasury Depart- ment, announced by Secretary Richardson at hal- past eleven o'clock to-night, authorizing the pur- chase of $10,000,000 of bonds to-morrow, was not ® surprise to those who know the tenor of the telegrams which passed between the President and prominent banking firms in New York and Philadelphia, It was decided as carly as four o’clock this afternoon that ten millions of bonds should be offered for sale in New York to- morrow. The Secretary has thus far purchased but a very small amount of bonds for the sinking fund, and as his currency reserve {a nearly fifteen Millions, he could easily afford to spare six or seven millions from that source, and in such an emergency increase the legal tender circulation at least four millions, Repeated demands have been made direct to- day for some relief, but the Secretary did not take any action until the President’s private secretary informed him that it was the President's wish. If the bonds can be purchased in the usual man- ner the Assistant Treasurer in New York will be empowered to close the purchase. Secretary Richardson and the Monetary Crisis. In view of the numerous telegrams from the North concerning the condition of monetary affairs many inquiries were made of the Secretary of the Treasury this afternoon as to whether and to what extent he would furnish relief. His reply was that he had not yet decided what he would do, thus implying that he had the subject under con- sideration. Interview with Secretary Richardson, Telegrams have been recetved in large numbers from bankers and merchants in New York by Secie- tarv Richardson to-day begging him to do some- thing to relieve the stringency of the money mar- ket. He declines emphatically to say what he will do; but I judge, from his conversation, he will to- night give out @ programme for the immediate purchase of bonds, using, perhaps, four millions of legal tenders from the reserve and six millions from the currency balance. I tried to iuterview him, but he very respectfully said that, in hia opinion, it would not be proper to talk finance at this juncture, but his acts would be the best that he could do, What they would be would be given, as usual, through the Associated Press, The Purchase of Bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to purchase, on Saturday, $10,000,000 worth of bonds, The Run on the Banks, The financial situation tn this city to-day was much the same as yesterday. The run on the say- ings bank was Kept up, but no delay occurred in making prompt payments. The greatest strain will take place to-morrow, when the large number of contractors and builders require currency for immediate payment of the week's indebtedness, E. L, Stanton has been appointed receiver of the First National Bauk—an appointment in every way satisfactory. The government will lose fully $100,000 by this suspension. There ia a ronon the Freedmen’s Savings Bank to-day, The ofiicers say there is not the slightest danger, but that all demands will be promptly met. The National savings banks have taken advan- tage of the provisions of their charter requiring depositors to give thirty days’ notice of a with- drawal, There is comparatively very little excitement in the neighborhood of the @ifferent banking houses here to-day. The runs are oaly upon the Freed- men’s Savings and the Washington City Savings Bank, The Bank of Washington is free from a run. The proximity of that bank to the WasMington City Savings Bank led several persons to believe that a run was upon the Bank of Washington, which is not the case. The Failure ef Cooke & Co. In regard to the Cooke failure—“What did I tell you?’ said a veteran in the note-shaving business. “But no one would believe me, Why this suspen- sion is just as clearly a put up job as anything I ever heard of, I knew, whén Governor Cooke said his resignation was only a question of time, there was something rotten somewhere. At that very time it was known among his personal friends the crisis was coming, and that Jay Cooke didn’t want the District troubles added to the Snancial embar- Tassments of bis banking Sages, but everybody cusn | Hye knew it was oom t 4 Joacluté Adbletant Secretary Sawyer, of the Treasury Department, descended the stairway of the First National Bank and entered his car- riage. He tad drawn out all bis surplus earnings from the designated depository, and aa he seated himself in his buggy he might have been heard to say, “Northern Pacifico did it.” No one suspected the First National Bank, Trae, Henry D. Qvoke wasite President, but what had that to do with the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co? Still there was a smoky condition of tbe atmosphere, and when there ts smoke there must be some fire. An examination of the room of the First National Bank showed that the final scene was fully prepared. There was a pile of greasy National Bank notes ready for redemp- tion, but an absence of the business force behind the counter. The suspension malaria was hover- ing in the atmosphere, but had not quite para- lyzed the paying teller’s arms. “You appear to be taking things tranquilly,” sald your correspondent to the bank ofeor behind the desk. “What is the matter?” he asked in @ balf guilty ond half suspicious manner. “Your neighbor down ateirs has closed bis doors.” “You don’t say; when did it happen?” Inst here # sallow, nefvous youth presented & check for $5,000, The paying teller, instead of counting out the cash, went down stairs and held @ private consultation with the mourners a6 to whether the check should be honored. It was de- and the money counted cided in the affirmative, balla, elt out in one hundred dollar another presented a check for $1,000, and another for $150, all of which were paid; but while this was being done the ruddy~ faced special was closing the doors to the First National Bank. That was too much, and in less than twenty minutes the news that the District of Columbia, with all its bonds, certificates of indebt- edness and deposits, was bankrupt, flashed lke fre over Washington and Georgetown. The “National Bank was by law the District as well a8 & government depository, and Gov- ernor Cooke’s resignation as Governor was instantly construed as @ subterfuge to escape ve responsibility which otherwise would have 4 him. Thd. rumors’ for the last three months were revivified, ands panicky feel- ing at once eeized the business community of the District. The District bonds fell ten to fMiteen per cent, and none of the private bankers cared to buy them af the lowest figure, Those who had de- posits tn the Washington City Savings Bank, which wag raided six months ago, end stood the test, no loiger had confidence in the bank, because it was endorsed by Henry D. Cooke. On mere street rumor the heavy depositors took alarm, and, repairing to the bank, demanded immediate set- tlement. As many as could be admitted were per- mitted to come in, and then and there their de- mands were settled. Indian Affairs. Commissioner Smith left to-day for Fort SiIh He will hoid a conference with the Indian agents in Nebraska and Kansas whtie on the route, and get thelr views ol the affairs of the Indian tribesin these places. The Commissioner expects to reach Fort Sill on October 4, where he will meet Governor Davia, of Texas, and other authorities of that State, and the head chieis of the Kiowas and Uo- manches. The object of the conference is to make terms with these tribes which will be satisfactory to Governor Davis, and to secure the release of Satanta and Big Tree. These chiefs, it 1 understood, will be releasea if the Kiowas and Comanches will agree to the terms. of Govornor Davis, which the Indians consider very severe, Commissioner Smith will represent the government, whose position in this matter is favorable to kindly dealings with the Indians. General Matters. Several months ago Benjamin E. Green, in & pamphiet, made charges against Mr. Richard D. Merrick, one of our most prominent lawyers, im- pugning the regularity of nis professional conduct. ‘The publication causing much comment in tnis and other cities, these charges were, at Mr. Merrick’s request, investigated by the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, whose committee now repors that the charges were without the slightest foun, dation, and the conduet of Mr. Merrick not only irreproachable, bat honorable, efficient, faith(ul and magnanimons, and that from the testimony of Green himself, taken under oath, {t 1s clearly shown he knew the charges were false when he published them. A series of resolutions was unanimousiy passed embodying the views of the committee.
