Setretuny, Rihacdeen) Declines to toen Greenbacks on Gold Deposited in the Bank of England, and Gives His Reasons. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 1878. The Secretary of the Treasury has addressed the following letter to Franklin Edson, Esq., President of the New York Produce Exchange, New York:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 1873. Srr—Your letter of the 29th inst., covering two resolutions of the New York Produce Exchange, has been received and the subject matter tuily considered, The resolutions are as follows :— Whereas the critical condition of the commercial in- terests of the country requires immediate reliet by the removal of the block 1 negotiating foreign exchange; therefore be it Resolved, That we respectfully suggest to the Secre- tary of the Treasury the following plans tor relief in this extraordinary emergency :— First—Vhat currency be immediately issued to banks or bankers upon satisfactory evidence that gold has been placed upon special depositin the Bank of England by their correspondents in London to the credit of the United states to be used solely in purchasing commercial bilis o1 exe: a. Secovt—That the President of the Unitea States and the Secretary of the Treasury are respectiully requested to order the immediate prepayment of the outstanding loan of the United States, due January 1, 1574, While the government 1s desirous of doing all in its power to relieve the present unsettled condat- tion of business affairs—as has already been an- nounced by the President—it is constrained in all its acts to keep within the letter and spirit of the laws, which the officers of the government are sworn to support, and they cannot go beyond the authority which Congress has conferred upon them, Your first resolution presents dificulties which caun0t be overcome, It is not supposed that you desire ta exchange coin in England for United States notes in New York at par. If your proposition is for the government to purchase gold in England, to be paid for in United States notes at the current market rate in New York, it would involve the government in the business ofimporting and speculating in gold, Since the ‘Treasury bas no use for coin beyond its ordinary receipts, and would be ovliged to. seil the coin 80 purchased at a price greater or less than was pad ior it. If your object is to induce the Treasury Pepartment to loan United States notes to banks in New York upon the pledge and deposit in London of gold, it {s asking the Secre- tary of the Trea**y to loan the money of tne United States upon coilateral security, for which there is no authority in law. If the Secretary of the Treasury can loan notes upon A plcage of coin he can loan them upon @ pledge of other property in his discretion, as be lias recently veen requested to do, which would be an extraordinary power as well as a most dangerous business to en- rage in, and which my judgment would deter me ‘om undertaking, as the Secretary ofthe Treasury, even if by my _ stretch of construction I might not find. it absolutely prohibited by Jaw. The objections already mentioned to your first resolution are 80 _ insuperable and conclusive that it is unnecessary for me ‘0 refer to the many practical dijiculiies waich would arise if an attempt should be made to comply with your request. Your second resolution calls ior tne payment at once of the loan of 185s, or the bonds commonly called “Fives o! 1874.'’ Upon @ thorough investigation lam of opinion that Congress has not conferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury ower to comp y With your request in that particu- jar, and in this opinion the law officers of the gov- ernment concur. Under these circumstances you will perceive that, while Ihave great respect for the gentlemen comprising the New York Produce Exchange, | am compelled, by my views of the law and of my duty, to respectfully decline to adopt the measure which your resolutions propose. Ihave the honor to be very respectiuily, WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, Secretary of the Treasury. The Five Per Cent Registered Bonds. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 1873, Treasurer Spinner will respond to the request of the national banks for the payment of the interest on their new five per cent registered stock in the Treasury, as security for circulation and pubiic deposits, by sending them checks lor the amount of interest due on the 1st of November on such bonds, less rebate, at six per cent per annum.

FISHKILL LANDING, N. Y., Sept. 30, 1873, The news of the suspension of the .Glenham Company is received throughout Dutchess county with the most profound sorrow, as it affects hun- dreds of families. The factories of the com- pany, for there are several of them, are immense In size and capacity. Up to yesterday between 650 and 650 hands were employed in the buildings making cloth of all kinds.

The confession of John Green, alias John McDon- ald, now confined in the Massachusetts State Prison, that he accompanied Michael Lynch from New York city to Little Neck, L, L, in February last, and there murdered James Graham, a boot- maker, has furnished a clew which connects these Villains with the highway robbery and attempted murder of Mr. F, H. Nash, then editor of the South Norwalk (Conn.) Sentinel, at Westport, on the night of March 10 last. Green, in his confession, stated that, after waiting in New York till the excitement which attended the Graham murder had blown over, he and Lynch started East, and when about forty-five miles east of New York robbed a man of his watch and a sum of money. Mr. Nash read Green's cofi‘ession in the Herap of Satarday last, and Was led to the beiief that these were the same men who had attacked and roibed | him, and he immediately came on here to identify tiem, He visited the Stafé Prison for that purpose to- day, and the consequence was that Mr. Nash fully recognized Green as the man, Lynch, too, he thinks was aware of the robbery, but both he and Green deny all knowledge of it. Mr, Nash returned to Counecticut this noon. thorough search of Lynch's house in New York to be made to see if he cannot find his watch; which he particularly desires to obtain, neither Green nor Lynch baving it when arrested for the Sring- field robbery, for which they are now serving out @ term of twenty years each. It is a question for the lawyers to can be taken to New York -before their present sentence of twenty years expires and be put to trial for the murder of James Graham, to which deed Green confesses he was accessory. If, however, the Governor of New York issues a requisition and the Supreme Court grants a writ of habeas corpus Goveruor Wasuburn will, doubtless, permit Lynch and Green to be taken to New York to be tried tor the murder. OMficers are expected from New York with the requisite documents this week. The prisoners manifest no concern about their probable fate, but go quietly about their work as usual. It is supposed that Green made his confession thinking that, by turning State's evidence against Lynch, who, he claims, committed the Graham murder, be will save his own neck from the gallows; but even if this is the case the Westport affair, together with his present term of twenty years, will doubtless be suMcient to keep him behind prison bars for the | remainder of his earthly existence.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Hall and Tammany Assembling Hostile Hosts at Utica. A Great Slaughter Expected : To-Day. Tammany Determined to Annihilate O’Brienites---No Quarter---No Mercy. the Utica, N. Y., Sept, 30, 1873, At this time (fifteen minutes past ten o’ciock) ex-Lieutenant Governor Allen C, Beach, chairman Of the State Central Committee, has just calied the committee together in the parlors oj the Bulter- field House, on Genesee street, The Utica brass band, in red swallow tail coats, ts deafening the ears of the large crowd under the windows with the harmony of *‘Auld Lang Syne,” and the dele- gates of the Convention are drinking whiskey by the pailiul at the diferent bars in the vicinity. All day long the discussion tag ran flerce and high between the Tammany and Apollo Hall men. The Tammany delegation came early im the morning, and had tue choice in the Port; but whe dusk came down the trains prought big reinforcements for Apollo Hall. The Boggs House and Butterfield House are both swarming with delegates and their excited friends, and all other subjects seem lost in the bitter quarrel that exists between Apollo and Tammany. GOVERNOR SEYMOUR WILL BE PERMANENT OHAIR- MAN, and he has been asked also to act as temporary Chairinan, If he does, the Apollo Hall men say that it will bar them out of the Convention, as they declare that the Canal Ring, beaded by Jarvis Lord (democrat), and Jem, Belden (republican), will throw all their influence of money and otherwise for Tammany, Diedrich Willers is the only man prominently mentioned for Secretary of State, and the fight for Attorney General lies between Belden and J. Thomas Spriggs, a well known lawyer of Utica. The latter ison the ground and is button- holding every delegate he finds, while Belden is not on hand. The resolutions to be offered wili be super- vised by Governor Seymour, Allen C. Beach, Man- ton Marble and Joseph Warren, John Morrissey has been working like a stag all day for Tammany, Join Kelly is coasulted and jammed up in cor- ners of rooms at the Boggs and Butterfield houses. He does hot seem to say much, yet he is inflexible in his dislike of Apollo Hall, Other people catl it stubbornness, Creamer has been doing some very fine work with some of the Central Commit- tee, yet it is all up hilland he does not seem at all confident. Courtney says he only wants filteen minutes On the Moor of the convention, and he may Say hic say ina way that they will understand, NOT CONSIDERED A “JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.” A good deal of feeling is manifested against John R, Fellows, who has been elected from Delaware county, and who is to scream {or Apollo Hallas soon as he gets the floor. Tammany calls thisa trick, and vows vengeance against him, and they say they will pay hi off if he runs for District At- torney next year in New York. The Brooklyn delegation of eighteen persons, in- cluding alternates, are on the fence, but District Attorney S. D. Morris does not hesitate to say that his sympathies are with Apollo Hall, and as he isa brilliant taiker he will make trouble for Tammany should he get on his legal legs to-morrow. Bob Furey has had several interviews with Morrissey and John Kelly this evening. Frank Swilt is Furey’s alternate, and he is here enjoying himself. Allen.C, Beach is quite reticent and will not say anything, and nine-tenths of the country delegates are disgusted with the New York delegations, who, they declare, come to every State Convention to have . fight or to commit suicide annually, as they term it, . NO GREAT MEN. There seems to be a jack of great men at this Convention, and the mediocrities cluster together and canvass all sorts of expedients. Nothing comes of their deliberations but chaos. John Fox is here, working in a quiet way, with his eye on the Shrievalty, and with him is Judge Ledwito, who has considerable power in the New York dele- gation. Mr. Beach will call the Conven- lion to order, and it is expected that it will nov conclude its labors until lhurs- day evening. I never saw a more bitter feeling than exists between Tammany and Apollo Hail, and the latter organization complains loudly of the absence of John McKeon, one 01 their delegates, Jrom whom they expected strong support. Francis Kernan, who lives in this city a block distant from the new opera house, has not appeared near the scene Of conflict, as his eldest son is to be married to-morrow at Newcastle, Pa. Charies W. Brooke, the Philadelphia lawyer, is expected to ve the orator for Apollo Hall, should she be admitted. TAMMANY DENOUNCES APOLLO HALL for the reason that they say that Creamer, Brooke and other delegates have been elected illegally for piaces in which they do not reside, and aiso that they are represented by wards instead of by As- sembly districts; but the Apollo Hall men in answer show their certificates of election from As- sembly districts, and have also distributed among the country delegates printed circulars, show. ing that they polled 84,000 votes | York city, and claiming that they did not betray Kernan. Robert B. Rooseveit, chairman of the democratic union delegation from New York, which is not full, is nere, and ayates that he expects to be admitted with nis deleganed, and that all three delegations shall be piaced on & Common footing in Convention, and that each Assembly district will be represented by one yote thrown by the three delegates from each district, This statement is laughed at, and it is deemed improbable. THE APOLLO MEN ARE INCENSED against the Democratic Union delegation, whom they declare to be led by Nelson J. Waterbury's ghost, and that their appearance in Utica is solely caused by Tammany, and is a put-up job to throw ridicule upon Apollo Hall and make it impossible for the country members to consider favorably the claims of Apollo Hali for admission. James Jack- son, of Niagara, is leading all others for State Prison Inspector; William Dorsheimer, o! ie, 18 mentioned for Comptroller, and Western New York will make a fight for the position. The Tammany delegation held a caucus this afternoon in secret at the Boggs House, and a reso- lution was proposed, which was not adopted, that if even the courtesy of admission to the floor of the convention was granted to Apollo Hall that Tam- many would withdraw and return to New York. ‘This is andoubtedly the sentiment of the entire Tammany delegation; and if the resolution was not carried it was because some of the cooler heads moved an adjournment until to-morrow morning, to discover whether the wind was from the east or not. Charles H. Haswell, @ civil engineer from New York City, and who man for forty years, is here working hard for State Engineer, and may possibly succeed. Samuel Courtney, on asserts that his organization desires no favor, and will not cringe to Tammany, but witi demand equal rights with her, and if not, they will fight it out inch by inch. COLONEL MICHAEL C, MURPITY, from the lower part of New York city is expected here to-morrow, and it 1s supposed will bring con- siderable strength to the Apollo Hall party. Both city organizations are very anxiously awaiting the decision of the State Central Committee to-night, and, as it has not he adjourned, the wildest state- ments are made in an ex parte way as to Ww ey will do, It is believed, however, that they will support Tammany and recognize it as the only regular representative from New York. Should ‘Yammany, however, be foolish enough to leave the Convention, Apollo Hall would perforce vecome recognized as the regular organization from New York city for the time being. Creamer states that if Seymour acts as temporary chairman it will virtually settle the matter, as the State Central Committee wil hand kim a list of names for the Committee on Credentials who will be favorable to Tammany, and the latter will not recognize Apollo at all A prominent Ti that they would fix 8 ttle the business in New all. many delegate told me to-night pollo Hall this time, and for all future bh that it had to be done sometime; that this was a favor- able time to doit; that Apollo Hall had betrayed the democracy and must be dealt with as traitors, and that, anyhow, they did rot amount to a row of pins as @ voting power, as seventy-five per cent of their strength had been given to them by Jimmy O’Brien, and that they might go to China and join the liberal republic who were on a par with Apollo Hail for humbugging and conceit. Judge Spaulding ts engineering ardously for Apollo Hall, but does not meet with much success. From what I see of both delegations I think that the Apollo Hall delegation is much the superior body tn point of character, calibre and intellect. Yet 1 am donbt- fal if intellect will buy anything at this Conven- tion, as a Tammany man said to me to-night; and the power of the Canal combination seems to in- finence the country delegates, many of whom as- sure me that they would vote for the admissign @ Apollo Hail, but ‘that they are in 9 minority, and a heavy pressure is being, Lia to bear on them every hour that they remain in Utica, MUSIC IN THE AIR.

They don’t beiong to no organization.” The State Oentrai Committee has just adjourned, after adopting @ resolution that all contesting delegates—Apolio Hall, Democratic Union and the Albany contesting people—sliall be admitted to the floor of the Convention, the result of which will be that none of the disputing parties will have @ vote, and that a commitiee on credentiuis will decide everything.

Cocktails To Be Scarce in the Next Legislature. Morality from a Pure Water Standpoint. Ane State Constables and District At- torneys, Beware. Boston, Sept. 30, 1873. Massachusetts is on the eve of a desperate whis- Key war. That industrious body of venerable gen- tlemen known as the State Temperance Alliance have declared that the illegal trafic must and shail be stopped, and unless the sworn officers of the law speedily periorm their duty in this respect they themselves will be prosecuted. Filty earnest and influential gentlemen have enlisted in the cause of extermination of the wicked dealers in the ardent, and unless their words of Warning are heeded the war will be commenced forthwith. When the Alliance met to-day the sec- retary read a long report which went deeply into the general question of temperance. Among otler topics discussed were the lighter drinks, a com- parison beween the loss by the November fire and malt liquor business of Boston and the over- shadowing influence of Boston, the State Board of Health, legislation, moral suasion, corrupt courts and accessories, the State police and suggestions lor another year. In speaking of corrupt courts and accessories the report said :— In the county of Essex, where a faithful District Attor- ney attends to the cases, at a recent term of the Court every liquor case brought by the State constables was successful, while at the same time, in Middlesex county, where the District Attorney snubbed the state Con stables and employed Sherits evidently jor a purpose, nearly every case jailed. In Bristol county the Grant Jury Voted last spring not to receive the testimony of a Staie Constable in a liquor case—an act so subver- sive of justice and republican institutions that the Jurors deserve to exchange places with the prisoners, ‘Ata recent term of the Court in this city there we six Americans aud six Irishinen upon the jury. 1 sult was that every Irish criminal tried was gratiti that the jurors stood six tor conviction and six tor ac- quittal. 1c is weil known that in this city it has been the practice with the Common Council to put the names of so many bummers, miserabie drinking men, into the jury box that itis well ‘nigh impossible to secure conviction, even ina case of flagrant assault and battery, much less in a liquor case. A COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO ASK QUESTIONS. Among the acts of the meeting was the appoint- ment of acommittee to inquire why the prohibit- ory law is not thoroughly and impartially enforcea by the officials of the State, said committee being in- structed toseek information from those upon whom the responsibility of enforcemeut rests, and report the result to the first meeting of the Executive Committee, with such recommendations as, in their judgment, will meet the demands o! the situation. And then & committee was appointed and charged with the special duty of inquiriug whether there is any legai remedy, and, if any, what, against the authorities of the chief cities of the Commonwealth for this persistent neglect o1 their sworn duty, and to report at the earliest convenience to the Execu- tive Committee. Kesolutions were adopted renew- ing the demand for a thorough and impartial en- lorcement Oo! the law and declaring that any gov- ernment not aiming at and doing its utmost to secure the overthrow of the liquor trafic and the removal of the manifest evils that follow in its wake merits the deepest censure. A ROUGH SHOT AT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, Rev. Dr. Miner, in speaking in support of the Tesoiutions, said that it seemed to him that the case is not enforced impartiaily, aud he believed the only stain upon it is the way in which it is enforced. He denounced the republican party as simply fathering the Prohibitory law for the pur- pose Ol throwing dust in the eyes of temperance men. He declared that the reason for the hewl against acertain man was because certain men who are in the line of promotion feared that if that man was elected tbe would not only enforce the law, but would spoil their promotion. Dr. Miner said that the State officials are pretending to enforce the law; but he wanted them to answer why they can’t just as well prose- cute Young as Fianerty. He referred to the case of the Mayor of a Wisconsin city who was brought before the Grand Jury lor neglecting the enforce- Ment Oo! a certain provision of the liquor law, and argued that somewhat similar action might be good in this State. Mr, J, H. Roberts stated that he met one of the Aldermen the other day and was told by him that the committee would undoubtedly yes in favor Of instructing the Chief of Police to enforce the law jully and impartiaily and that the Aldermen would unanimonsly do 30, The gentlemen composing the Alllance evidently Mean business this time, and if they fail in obtain- ing a general enforcement of the law they will at least prove very troublesome to those engaged in the tratic. The dealers anticipate the war, and are already forming a combination to resist it. OSOAR ‘ETTE ARRESTED. The World-Be Assassin of Wachholz ‘Walks Into Police Headquarters and Gives Himself Up. Oscar Ette, the man who shot Wachholz at No. 214 Bowery yesterday afternoon (the particulars of which will be found in these columns to-day), walked into Police Headquarters last night at twenty minutes to twelve and surrendered himself to Inspector Walling. Captain Clinchy, of the Fourteenth precinct, haa been after him all day, and the man, finding, no doubt, that he could not get away, gave himself up. A Heratp reporter saw him in the In- ector’s room shortly after he came in, is story as he told it ran as follows:—Wachhoiz objected to his putting his sign up on the door.and came to his room and threatened him with a table knife; tha he (Ette) then, fearing that there was some dangé@r, went back to his inner room and got arevolver, put it in his pocket, and again came out and met Wachnolz inthe hallway; that then the dispute began again and Wachholz finally caugnt hold of Erte by the lappels of the coat and raised the table knife as if about to strike him. That then he (Ette), feeling himself tn danger, drew his revolver and fired in self-defence at Wachholz, He then went down stairs to a neighboring restaurant and left his pup there, subseqtently going to another restaurant, where he took lunch, and after a while going up to Cen- tral Park, where he spent the afternoon and evening. ‘The partner of Ette, @ man named Bdllner, cor- roborates this statement in what particulars he knows and says that. Ette and Wachholz were al- ways quarrelling together. After Ette had told his may Inspector Walling took him up to Bellevue Hospital, for the purpose of having him identified by Wachholz. When Ette was taken to the bedside of Wacholz tne latter fully identified him as the man who shot him. The {injured man seemed to be at the same time fully conscious and was notin any great suf- fering. It was impossible at the time to decide whether he would live or die from the effect of his wounds, though the general opinion is that he can- not survive. THE CANADIAN PACIFIC SCANDAL.
