4 THE COURTS. Criminal Business in the United States Courts. Presenting a False Paper to a United States Officer—Convicted and Sentenced. SHAMBERLAIN PALMER AFTER HIS PAY. Suit Against the Oity—Argument in Court—Decision Reserved, BUSINESS IN ,THE OTHER courts. Some of the reporters of the public press having | yesterday applied to the Clerk of the United States vistrict Court for information respecting the filing | of petitions in bankruptcy, the Clerk asked Judge Blatchford for directions upon the subject, and the Tudge has now directed the Clerk not to furniso the press with any information relative to any in- junction order in any bankruptcy suit until it has been ascertained that the order has peen served. The application of the reporters in this instance ‘Was altogether suggested by recent developments tn Wall street and also by a desire to furnish the public with the latest intelligence respecting al- leged bankruptcies in that quarter. James Kiernan, who had entered into bonds for the appearance of Woodhull, Claiin and Blood, indicted for sending obscene publications through the mails, appeared before Commissioner Shields In the United States Circuit Court and surrendered his bail. With the consent of the District Attorney, the Commissioner discharged the defendants on their own recognizances. It is understood that the old indictments, three in number, on which the defendants were originally accused, will not be tried; but from the remarks of an assistant in the United States District Attorney's office yesterday, It would seem that the idea of prosecuting Wood- hull, Claflin & Co. upon new indictments is not wholly abandoned. John Carr, of 428 Second avenue, fireman in the Custom House, was brought betore Commissioner Shields yesterday, on a warrant charging him with having stolen from the office of the Surveyor of this port a large quantity of permits to land goods from steamers, tickets for storekeepers of the port, and also public store orders. Defendant was held $n $500 bail for examination. Yesterday, in the United States District Court, before Judge Blatchford, upon the application of Mr. Kellogg, counsel for the Bank of the Common- Wealth, the argument of the motion to vacate the order made by the Comptrouer of the Currency for the appointment of Mr. Isaac H. Bailey as receiver of that bank went over till next Tuesday. Ephraim Miller and Samuel Secor, who are tharged with conspiring with others to defraud the government out of tax on whiskey, appeared yesterday before Commissioner Shields and gave dail in the sum of $5,000 each. Eaward M. Grandon, who has undergone a year’s tmprisonment for having forwarded obscene pub- lications through the mails, was discharged from custody yesterday upon lis application to Com- missioner Shields, and upon proof of the fact that he was unable to pay the fine—$500—that accom- | panied the sentence of incarceration. In the United States District Court a suit was commenced by the government, some short time ago, against Augustus ©. Downing, Francis Dougherty and Graham Rogers, for $75,000, for alleged violation of the customs laws in the im- Portation of goods. The case was never brought to trial; but it appears, by an entry in the judg- ment record, that it was settied on the Oth inst., the defendants paying $30,000, £x-City Chamberlain Palmer, now that he is out of office, does not get along very smoothly with the Comptroller. Mr. Green, it appears, refuses to pay him his salary as City Chamberlain from the time the new city charter was passed until his successor was appointed—a period of twenty-seven days— and for which time Mr. Palmer claims pay at the rate of $30,000 a year, the salary as now fixed by the city charter. As will be seen by a report be- low, Mr. Palmer is seeking to get his money through Mandamus proceedings against the Comptroiler. CRIMINAL BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES COURTS. SBR SRE Ts Judge Benedict sat yesterday in the new court room, 27 Chambers street, and proceeded with the despatch of criminal business. PLEADING GUILTY, Julius Fatten, a young man who had been in- dicted for embezzling a letter from the Post oMice, pleaded guilty, putting in this plea by advice of his Counsel, He was remanded for sentence. PRESENTING A PALSE PAPER TO 4 UNITED STATES OFFICER, Philip Newman and Walter Deviin had been con- victed at a previous term oi the Court for having entered into what is known as “straw bail’ for the purpose of securing the release, on bail, of Chris- topher Flood, who was subsequently found gulity of having conspired with others to defraud the government out of the tax on a large quantity of whiskey manufactured at the Spring Valley Distillery, in Rockland county. When the risoners were called up yesterday for sentence ir. B. F, Russell, counsel for Deviin, moved an arrest of judgment, and d several points in Bupport ol the position he maintained. r. Robert N. Waite having addresseu the Court as counsel on behalf of the prisoner Newman, Mr. Purdy, United States Assistant District Attorney, replied for the government. The Court denied the motion. Mr. Purdy, replying to a remark from the counsel on the other si t the prisoners had been con- fined in Ludlow Street Jatl for @ considera- ble time—one for seven months and the other for eight—said he did not believe Ludiow street was so bad a piace tobe confined in at all, On the contrary, it was a pretty good place. Men carried on business there. He pitched into the prisoners with considerabie force, alleging that the government had been very much troubied with this class of offenve, and they were determined to stop oe it as far as they possibly could, He moved sentence on the prisoners on the third count of the indictment, which was for misde- meanor, reserving the right to have the defendants called up at any future time for judgment on the first or felony count. Newman was then ordered to be imprisoned for seventeen months in Kings County Penitentiary and fined $1,000, in addition to the seven months’ confinement he has already endured, and Devlin five months in the same prison and a fine of $1,000 in addition to the eight Months’ imprisonment he has borne since his trial. As there was no case ready for the jury they were discharged until eleven o'clock this morning. PALMER AFTER HIS PAY. The Ex.City Chamberlain Mandamus ing the Comptroller for Pay of Salary— Points Presented For and Against the Mandamus. Mr. Francis A. Palmer, the late City Chamberlain, baving paid millions of dollars to others from the city exchequer, desires to draw a little money out on his own account, Alter the passage of the new charter, in which the salary of City Chamberlain was fixed at $30,000, he filled the position for twenty-seven days, when his successor, Mr. Lane, was appointed, He desires pay for this time at the rate of $30,000 ayear, and to secure payment, the Comptroller having refused to pay, applied through ex-Judge Beebe for a writ of peremptory man- damus against the Comptroller, directing him to pay the amount, An alternative mandamus baving been granted, the case came up for argument yes- fm ae Supreme Court, Chambers, bejore Judge Mr. Andrews, Assistant Corporation Counsel, made 4 return to the mandamus, setting forth that there Was no appropriation tn ‘the city budget to it the claim; that the claim nad. not been audited as required by the law, and that the proper remedy was by @ suit against the city. it was all further in ig ogg to the application that Mr. Palmer had drawn large sums from the city treasury in interests on city deposits while City Chamberlain, and that the Comptroller pre- sented as an offset against the present claim. He referred, in the course of his remarks, to the recent Gecisions in the cases of Supervisor Monheimer and Mr. Brown, and claimed that, in addition to WEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET.

It was the at misfortune of the Comptroller that he fought everybody who had a claim against the city, and therefore he fought this action. As to the’ necessity of an audit, he declared that to be bosh, and the imputation that Mr. Palmer had il- legally pocketed interests on city deposits he pro- nounced utterly groundless. After some further discussion Judge Fancher took the papers, reserving his decision. BUSINESS IN THE OTHER COURTS. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—TRIAL TERM—PART 2. Teaching a City Railroad President a Lesson. Before Judge Loew. In January, 1871, Mr. Robert C, Campbell, who kept at that time the Mansion House, on Essex street, was shovelling snow off the sidewalk in front of his place, when Mr. Richardson, President of the Dry Dock, East Broadway and Battery Rail- road Company, came along. Mr. Richardson told him to shovel the snow off the railroad track 1n front of his house. “] didn’t throw the snow there," said Mr. Camp- 1, “and I shan’t remove it.” “You shovel the snow off or I'll call @ policeman and have you arrested,” answered Mr. Richardson, “[ bad ‘to arrest you,” said a policeman whom Mr. Richardson called and told to take Mr. Camp- bell to the Essex Market Police Court, ‘or the com- pany would have bad me removed from the lice. i Judge Shandley, before whom Mr. Campbell was taken, said he could not entertain the complaint, and he was accordingly discharged. Suit was brought in this Court against Mr. Richardson by Mr. Campbell, in which he claimed $5,000 damages. Tne case was tried yesterday. It was shown by Mr, Campbell that he told Mr. Richardson at the time of his arrest that there was no one to take charge of his house in his absence, and further, that his barkeeper was sick. He also showed that in consequence of the arrest he lost the oppor- tunity of purchasing some property in Hyde Park. There was no defence made. Judge Loew left it with the jury to give such verdict as they thought }.oper, and they gave a verdict ior $250 damages. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Decisions. By Judge Fancher.

John Wren pleaded guilty to an assault witha dangerous weapon, With intent to do bodily harm. The facts in this case were that Wren and George Burns were convicts in the Penitentiary, and that while W. H. King, one of the keepers, had them in charge, rowing around the island on the 13th of September, Wren took up @ loaded carbine that was in the boat and threatened to shoot him if he prevented them from escaping. Wren was sent to the State Prison for one year. Delia Richardson, an old woman, pleaded guilty to assault and battery, the charge against her being that, on the 26th of September, she stabbed Henry Ticken in the back with a knife. His Honor sent her to the Penitentary for one year. Stealing a Railroad Ticket. William Johnson, a respectable looking young man, was placed on trial, charged with stealing from the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany, at Elizabeth, on September 4, a railroad ticket to Salt Lake City, which was valued at $119, District Attorney Rollins, in opening the case, stated that the indictment was formed under a special statute passed by the New York Legis lature, making it @ crime to steal a railroad ticket, and as the proof would show that the accused at- tempted to dispose of itin this city, he could be convicted. Tue only witness calied was Coleman Gray, the ticket agent at Elizabeth; and pendin; his examination counsel for the prisoner raise: the point that, as no such special statute existed in New Jersey as the one to which the District At- hardin alluded to, the accused could not be con- victed, Tne Recorder satd that the common law was recognized in ali the States, and in any event the prisoner could be convicted of stealing the piece of paper which was called a ticket, independent ot the valne put upon it by the railroad corporation, A plea of petit larceny was tendered and accepted by the prosecuting officer. Caidon, Rafferty and Johnson were each sent to the Penitentiary for six months, Acquittal. William Miles, a boy, who was jointly indicted with Bergen and Kelly for feloniously entering the house of Frederick Wassing, No. 635 First avenue, and jewelry valued at $168, was tried and ac- quitted. the evidence was equally insufMicient to convict Bergen he was discharged. Alleged Arson, In the afternoon Emma Orlak was arraigned at the bar charged with arson in the first degree. The jury were sworn, after which the Court adjourned, It is likely that the trial will occupy the entire day. TOMBS POLICE COURT. Mr. William 8S. Pontin, of No. 2 Benson street, kept, for some time past, behind his bar, a box, which contained two diamond studs and a quan- tity of money in bills. On Saturday he opened this box and discovered that $200 in money and the studs had been taken. As no one had access to the box but himself and a boy in his employ, named Frank Edwards, he accused him of taking the property, and, as Mr. Pontin alleges, he confessed that he bad taken it. He caused his arrest, and yesterday the boy Edwards was taken before Judge Fowler. In his examina- tion before the magistrate he protested his inno- cence of the crime, but was held to answer in de- fault of $1,000 bail. Baton versus Sabre. Charles Tappe is a member of the First regiment of cavalry of Brooklyn, On Monday he was mounted on @ warlike charger, prancing through the most crowaed part of Catharine street. Reach ing the ferry entrance, he attempted to force his way in before his time, OMcer Michael Crowley, of the Fourth precinct, caught hold of the bridie of his horse and told him he should take his place in the line, The vold militatre instantly lifted his sabre and made two separate cuts at the policeman’s head piece, narrowly escaped decapitation. A last thrust was made at the oMcer which resulted in ripping open his overcoat from the collar to the waist. Presently Omicer vrowley by a dexterous movement put Tap- pe hors de combat, disarmed him of his sword and marched him to the Oak street station house, The oMcer and his erstwhile military antagonist, the latter somewhat crestialien over his discométure o! the day before, came betore Judge Fowler at the Tombs yesterday morning. On complaint of OMcer Crowley, who recited the above tacts, Mr. Tappe was held to answer in default of ball. SIXTH DISTRICT COURT. Liability of Hotel Keepers European Plan. Judge Porter, temporarily holding in this Court, recently made an interesting and important de- cision as to who “keeps a hotel.” The suit was against Frederick Dellicker, who was the pro- prietor of the Stacey House, on Broadway. it was for property lost by a party who did not lodge in the honse, The plaintif’! was decided to be a guest—that taking 4 meal in a@ hotel, though kept on the European plan, constituted amana guest within the meaning of the statute. Counsellor George W. De Costa appeared tor the plaintig. If this decision is affirmed, as in the case of Krglim vs. Sweeny, N. Y. C. P., 1867; 2d Daily, 200, Hotel Keepers on the European pian will be slightly agi- tated, ag they are deemed tnkeepers under the law. on the COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

REAL ESTATE, Important Transactions in the Current Market—Test Sales To Come Off. ‘The feature of the market yesterday was an ex- ecutor’s sale by A. H. Muller & Son of valuavle property, including Boulevard property and down- town improved property. The sale was not con cluded, the bidding being regarded as unsatisfac- tory. Particulars of the offering disposed of are given below :—The four story brown stone house and lot known as No. 7 Thirty-fourtn street, north side, 220 feet west of Filth avenue, was offered at the upset price of $100,000, No person present signi- fled a desire to buy it for that sum, so the property was withdrawn and the sale of the remainder of the estate was adjourned. The property known as “Nos. 1,410 and 1,412 Broadway, east side, 51.3 feet south of Fortieth street, was not offered. The sale of bts at Woudlawn Heights, West- chester county, is reported as @ great success. The attendance was large, and although the aver- age prices per lot fall sligntly below the figures ob- tained earlier this year, the result, in the present unsettled condition of the market, may be re- garded as showing that inclination to strength which with fair conditions would quickly develop into buoyancy. Particulars are given below. Among the most imteresting announcements for this week are noticed the sale to-day, at Yonkers, by J. Johnson, Jr., of some twenty-three cottage dwellings built on the semi-detached plan, and suitable for small residences. These cottages are built with every attention to comfort and neat- ness, as they impressed the writer upon an inspec- tion of them about two years ago, when they were nearly approaching completion. Yonkers is a charming suburb of New York, easily accessible by boat or car, a perfect sanitarium, possessing the rare attraction of a suburt® good society, and in every way pleasing as a place of residence, With one of these diminutive ‘castles’? in esse as his own, @ man of small family mignt reailze that life had not been with him alvogether a failure, To-day (Wednesday), O. H. Pierson will offer for sale also eighty villa sites on the Palisades, in New sa 'y pbualte Riverdale, fourteen miles from ew yori On Thursday one of the most important sales of the season will be held by A. H. Muller & Son, com- prising an ne of 400 lots on Harlem Heights, opposite the Parade Ground, in the new Twenty- fourth ward of New York. The property rises gently from Sedgwick avenue 175 Jeet above tide- water, and descends to comb’s Dam road, and is especially adapted for fine residences, As it will be disposed of in thirty large parcels the sale will take place at the Exchange.

S$esson was committed on a charge of intoxication; and next morning, being unable to go to Court, a surgeon wag called and found the prisoner suffering from brasn trouble, Inediately conveyed to the hospital, where death ensned.

And we also recommend that cap- tains and sergeants in charge of police station: He was im- exercise greater care for prisoners plac thelr cbarge."” Dp placed under THE STOKES TRIAL. Another Day Spent in Obtaining a Jury—Twelve Men Sworn—Judge Davis’ Remarks—The Trial To Be Regularly Opened This Morning. Yesterday the protracted labor of securing a jury in the Stokes-Fisk homicide was at last brought to the long desired result, Twelve “good men and true” were sworn, whose names are given below. It was then a quarter past three o'clock, too late for the District Attorney to commence the real business of the trial, the opening for the prosecu- tion, The names of absent jurors were called, and itis understood that fines will be imposed upon those who, being summoned, failed to answer to their names, As usual, the prisoner was attended by his father, mother, sister and brother and other friends who are anxiously awaiting the result of this the third trial of Stokes, The attendance was not very large during the day, the siow progress made day after day in swearing in a jury, with the unin- teresting series of questions and answers touching the availability of jurors to sit and “truly try and true deliverance make,” having become more tedious than a thrice-told tale, Considerable stir was, however, manifest among the audience when the twelfth man was accepted and sworn. It came to this, that Stokes was again on trial for his life, and that upon the verdict of the twelve men in the jury box that life depended. Judge Davis addressed the jury, He permitted them to separate for the night, each attended to his home by a deputy marshal but stated that from the regular opening of the trial to the close, and until they had agreed upon a verdict, or had agreed to disagree, he would hold them together in the custody of proper Officers, He cautioned them to hold no converse outside of the court room or with other than themselves till finally discharged, The Court then adjourned till this morning, at half-past ten o'clock. JURORS CALLED AND EXAMINED, At the opening of the Court Judge Davis ex- pressed a wish that counsel go on with as much expedition as possible, to which Mr. Tremain re- pled that that was their wish, as there was seeers bane by delay, As each juror was called Mr. Tremain contented himself with asking if he had formed or expressed n opinion; if the answer was in the allirmative, the District Attorney was equally as brief, so that those called were generally dismissed in quick succession. B TENTH JUROR. Henry Jasper, retall grocer, the eighth examined, had not jormed or expressed any opinion and was quickly accepted as the tenth juror. THE KLEVENTH JUROR. Robert Porter, secretary of a pocketbook makers’ association, of No. 761 avenue ©, though he had some opinions, Was accepted and Sworn in as the eleventh juror. At one o’clock the Court took a recess. After recess there still remained, staring Jadge, counsel, Stokes and everybody else in the lace, the one empty seat in the jury bex. A variety of sur- mises were indulged in, and even some bets wagered as to the length of time it wouid require to ait this Monet uring the pretracted pro- gress of these preliminary proceedings there cer- tainly has not been more vigilant and earnest en- deavor to arrive at this alkimportant goal in the case. The questions which long before had be- come reduced to a regular formula were put to the summoned jurors as one after another they were calied in from the adjoining room with a epee at times that seemed almost trifling with the deep gravity of the issues in- volved. It is unnecessary to give the names of all who were examined. Most were set aside, as in the examinations of those preceding them, on ac- count of the formation of decisive opinions fore them so strongly against the prisoner that it would be impossible for them to enter the jury box with a presumption tn favor of the prisoner’s innocence, Many had said Stokes ought to be hang, and were set aside. A few had scruples on the subject o’ capital punishment, and of course were not eligible as Jurors, At length aman was found who passed muster. ‘TWELFTH JUROR, Mr. 8, Sandford, livery stable Keeper at No, 1,241 Broadway. When the counsel for Stokes said, “We accept him,’’ and when Judge Davis said “Swear in the juror,” everybody drew a lon: breath. The agony was over, and ail felt relieve as the twelith juror atonce took his seat. It was a quarter past three o’clock when the last juror was obtained; too late, of course, for the prosecution to open the case, ang for that matter counsel and everybody else were already pretty well fatigued with their day’s work, But little re- mained to be done, and this was quickly done. ‘The names of the remaining summoned jurors were called to see upon whom to impose fines for non- attendance. Then these jurors, as well as the Jurors on both sides, were Summoned to be in at- tendance at the opening of the Court this morning. The object of summoning the jurors to be present was said to be to meet the contingency of a failure of any of the accepted jurors to be able to sit on the jury. JUDGE DAVIS’ REMARKS. Judge Davis briefy addressed the jorors. He said he wouid allow them to go home that evening, each attended by an officer, but after this should keep them together until the close of the trial. He enforced upon them the necessity of refraining from talking with ore one on the sub- ject of the trial. said that it was @ gross impropriety to talk upon the subject alter one had been summoned as a Juror; but after they had been sworn in as jurors to indnige in any such conversation was a oriminal offence. The oficers with them were not to talk with them about the case. Many officers think it is their privilege to do this, but asked one and all to report any officer who should do this, and he would not spare him, but give him the fullest penalty of the law. At the conclusion of the Judge’s remarks the Court adjourned till half-past ten o’clock this morn- ing. The two deputy sherifs having Stokes in charge took him to his quarters in the Tombs, and in @ few minutes the court was emptied of the large crowd that had filled it to overnowing. e following are the names of the jury as oom- leted:—Thomas White Bartholomew, engineer, jo. 439 East Fifty-seventh street; Joseph Hauch, edgier No, 32 Avenue A; Edward Stanley Cal- oun, harness dealer, No. 362 Broadway; Jacob Metz, eit No. 86 Reade street; Charles G.

THE STATE OF TRADE. ‘Weak and Uneasy Markets in Cotton and ProducemA Suspension in the Tea Trade. Affairs at the Produce Exchange had not much bettered themselves yesterday. It is true that all the ships going out of port are taken up with freights, but it is believed that these are mainly from the overplus which has been tn store since the time which immediately preceded the panic in Wall street. It had been generally supposed that the consequence of a rise in gold would be to better trade by making foreign exchange marketable, snd this would, in the opinion of experts, have been the case had it not been for the fact that the rise in gold was caused vel a reason quite unforeseen yesterday in the puttin, up of the discount rate of the Bank of Englan here the rise in gold would facilitate exchange the rise in the discount rate would embarrass f so that matters are nearly where they were before. Merchants are therefore in @ quandary to know the possible end of this painful state of suspense. The slight panic in Wall street yesterday, of course, had its reactionary effect upon the Prod- uce Exchange, and from this cause the state of uncertainty was even more felt than before. With @ constantly pal market, few transactions of consequence are possibie, and so matters remain, AT THR OOTTON BXCHANGR, where business was rather lively than otherwise, it was op @ weak market, for the same reasons which have had an effect upon the produce trade, Merchants complain that, notwithstanding a good crop, all circumstances combine to make the mar- ket irregular and weak. Gillespie, Trowbridge & Oo., large tea jobbers, suspended yesterday. Their fallure is the result of the same causes as all the otuers—customers being unabie to respond, The tea and sugar market is very fat generally. THE NEW YORK ARMORIES, The Committee on Armortes of the Board of 8n- pervisors held @ meeting yesterday, supervisor Peter Kehr, Chairman, presiding, and Supervisors Cooper and Lysaght present. A bill from J. Hiidebrant, of $2,500, for one quar- old rent of the Hester street armory, was ordered pai The contract for carpenter work on the Centre street armory was, on motion, awarded to F.

President Grant on Specie Payments—The Late Panic Leads the Way to Resumption—Silver the Circulating Medium—What Our Mimes Are Capable of Producing— Opinions Expressed by Leading Fix nanciers on the Subject—“Every- body Favors Hard Cash.” The following letter was received by Mr. N. A. Cowdrey, President of the Continental National Bank in this city on the 7th inst, :— Executive Mansiow, Wasuinaron, D. 0. Oct & 1873. } DI Your letter of the 29th ult. ‘was culy received and r 8 Was Your previous letter, Neither required an answer particularly, and hence I did pot answer them at that time, Your last letter. how- ever, contains one sentence that it seems proper I should reply to, that is as to an implied threat to the national banks contained in my letter to Messrs, Anthony and Claflin, Nothing was further from my mind than a threat. My whole object was to restore Sonndense to the public mind, and to give assurances that the govern- ment would give all the aid in its power, keeping in view at the same time the solvency of the National Trea- sury. You, apd all bank presidents, Know more abot the condition of your banks than I can_ possibly know. In turn, through the eratary. of the Treasury, know more about the financial condition of the government, its ability to render aid, &c., than any person discon- nected trom the administration of its affairs can kno Talluded to the fact that the torty-iour million reser notes in the Treasury would be regarded as money in the ‘Treasury subject to use, for the purpose of showing that the means are at hand to give the reliet we promise. Td believe the preeane panic will work to indi. viduals half the injury it will work general good to the My Drax Mr. country at large. Our monetary system {s the creation of necéssity. It has no elasticity, but in other respects itis the best that hag ever been devised. No one now distrusts the value of it is seized and hoarded with the same’ avidity now tna’ the gold dollar has teen in former like adversities The ic Will call attention to the defects in eur monetary ll, no doubt, lead to legislation to relieve greenbacks about toa par with sliver. I wonder that silver ts not Seay, coming into the market to supply the deficiency in the circulatin; medium. When it does come~and | predict that it wil soon—we will have made a rapid stride towards specie ayments. Currency will never go below silver after ia ‘The circulation of silver will have other beneficial ef. tects. Experience has proven that it takes about forty millions of fractional currency to make the small change necessary for the transaction of the business of the coun- ry. Silver will gradually take the place of this currency, and, further, will become the standard of values, which will’ be hoarded in a small way. 1 estimate that this will consume trom 000 00,000, in time, of this species of our circulating medium. It will leave the paper currency free to perform the legitimate functions of trade, and will tend to bring us back where we must come at’ last—to a specie basis. I confess toa dosire to see a limited hoarding of money. It insures a tirm foundation in time of need. But I want to see the board. ing of something that has @ standard of value the world over. Sliver has this: and if we once get back to that our strides towards a higher appreciation of our cur- rency Will be rapid. Our mines are ‘now. producing almost _ unlimited amounts of silver, and itis becoming a question, “What shall we do with it?” I suggest here a solution that wil answer for some years, and suggest to you bankers whether you may not imitate it; to put it in circulation now ; keep it there untilit is fixed, and then we will find other markets. South and Central American coun- tries have asked us to coin their silver for them. There has never been authority of law to do so. I trust it will now be given. When itisgiven it wili be more than the equivalent of becoming exporters of articles of Manufactories which were previously articles of import. Orders will come for large amounts of coin. lt will be all in silver, while payments are not necessarily so. We become the mannfuctarer of this currency, with a profit, and will probably secure @ portion of our pay inthe more precious metal. I have thought much about the recommendations I should make to Congress, and have changed slightly in regard to banking laws since I last had the pleasure of a personal interview with you. Itis not necessary to state What those changes are, because they may undergo turther modification. I shall give to the subject, how- oyor my sincerest thoughts and will court the views of ner: e written this hastily, but if it calls forth any you would like to express I will be glad to hear them. “Yours truly, U. & GRANT. The above letter of President Grant to Mr. N. A. Cowdrey, President of the Continental Bank of New York, which only a limitea number of persons had heard of yesterday, created considerable ex- eitement in financial and commercial circles, Opinions ef prominent men on this all-absorbing and important question are as varied as the colors ofachameleon. No two agree on any one par- ticular plan. But the general expression of thought by thinking men is in favor of “hard currency,’’ and the only point to be considered is, how to at- tain it without another panic or financial eruption. OPINIONS OF FINANCIERS, AHERaLD reporter visited several prominent financiers yesterday afternoon, and interrogatea them as to the practicability and policy of Presi- dent’s Grant’s suggestions contained fn his letter to Mr. Cowdrey. The main fault found with the letter is, the amount ot silver named therein ts too high. One gentleman in particular said:—“Silver has almost at all times ranked at least five per cent be- low the pee on gold. Only yesterday gold was worth 8% and silver 3%. This premium is 80 little above the value of paper currency that there can be very little incentive to people for hoarding it. Silver is, in the common acceptation of the term, a base metal, and has been &o considered in American coinage for years past. THR NEW TRADE DOLLAR is pure metal, and must necessarily be drawn from its base of coinage to foreign countries, for which it is designed, but will never he returned here. Hence this country gains but little from the new coinage, but, on the contrary, the metal which our mines produce now in such profusion will avail but little to assist the United States in supplying the want of fractional currency. Our new trade dollar will be extensively used for melting in the manao- facture of silverware in fereign countries. At the same time, the volume of paper currency is 80 large that, if silver should appear in competition with it, tne latter would be hoarded to a certain extent and the ‘greenbacks’ would be RETURNED TO CIRCULATION, Yet,” continued the gentieman, “the suggesttons of President Grant come so suddenly upon us that an intelligent conclusion cannot be jumped at ina moment. It requires time for reflection. Every- body is in favor of a specie currency, and such ‘a resumption wont be of the utmost benefit to the poorer classes. Everything used in domestic econ- omy is now inflated from the fact that paper mone: has no apparent value. Give a man a dollar bil and he will spend it with an abandon demoastra- tive of its intrinsic worthlessness. On the other hand, if he has a dollar in specie he will turn it over several times before parting with its com- pany.’ Several more eminent financiers were visited, and they all expressed themselves substantially as above. In the main, however, they agree that the President’s Views on this question are sound and statesmaniike. SUSPENSIONS IN WALL STREET. Several Banking and Brokerage Houses Gone Under, In consequence of the sudden depreciation in stocks yesterday several suspensions of banking and brokerage houses were announced. The prin- cipal were Hoge & Co., bankers; W. M. Whitteman & Co., Wise & Cross and ©. H. Pierce & Oo., besides that o1 Gillespie, Trowbridge & Oo., tea brokers, men- toned elsewhere. Boyd, Vincent & Co. were sold out under the rule at the Stock Exchange yesterday. It appears that this house turned Lake Shore for two different parties, who desired them to sell it out themselves, which they refused to do, and the consequence was they were sold out under the rule. The amount of difference is stated to be about $80,000 or $90,000. Mr. Daniel Drew wasa heavy customer of this house, In the case of Hoge & Oo., bankers, the suspen- sion seems to have been a very unfortunate one. The partner in the house has been in Europe for some time, and Mr. Hoge himself was taken sud- denly and seriously sick, so that the house was leit in the hands of irresponsible parties. Mr. Hoge States that he will be able to resume almost im- Mediately, as the suspension was brought about 7 temporary embarrassment caused by ignorance of the arrangements of the firm, Messrs. Hoge & Co, had no connection whatever with the Stock Exchange. The suspension of Whitteman & Co., of Exchange place, is set down to the fact that paca Pad kg known to be holding many stocks which ho sae pens down with such a rush, and so un- e. + ne sudden tumble of New York Central the ve day before the payment of the semi-annual div! dend surprised and disheartened many, for it was rumored that the dividend would not be paid to-day. A visit by a Heap reporter to the bank- ing honge of Duncan, Sherman & Oo., revealed the fact that this dividend will be 1 fact of Mr. Vanderbilt being unable % keep up his od stock, was commented on ty terms anything but complimentary by many. On & Co, were spoken of in connection with thks tall, but inquiry failed to reveal anythi wrong in this firm or among any other of the Vanderol it brokers, The day was one of constant wonders, hopes and deceptions. It was anticipated that the tall would have caused much more distress than it really did. At one time there was a reraln panicky eeetk but the more promineot firms di ‘ail they could to allay the excitement and to re- store confidence.
