Im the HERALD of the 15th there appeared the details of ts killing, at Anderson, Ind., of Volouel .T. M, Stilwell, ex-member of Congress and late Minister to Venezuela, by J. E. Corwin in a quar- rel. A correspondent of the indianapolis Journal gives the jollowing in explanation of the ail- culty:— On Saturday the people of this place were aston- Jshed to learn that Colonel ‘thomas N. Stil- well, President of the First National Bank and one of our foremost citizens, had been indicted for embezzlement. As is well known the bank pe erly during the early part of November, ane ' McCullough, of Ohio, was appointed re- cele On the 12th of September a statement ublished, showing the asseis to be about 30, Alter the suspension another statement bs Made, showing the assets to be some $50,000 000 less than that amount, altnough a num- ber Venezuelan bonds had been included in this statement which were not inthe former, This caused some surprise and was the cause of the poe ny feeling toward the munager of the bank. is a class of depositors who are exceedingly heey at the oficers, and it is believed this prose- cution was incited by them, as an effort has been throw Mr, Stilwell into At present it is not absolutely known what is the mature of the charge against Mr. Stilwell, as the indictment has not been recorded, and until it 13 it cannot be seen by the public. From inter- Views with those best able to judge, your corre- ua pondent learns that one Corwin, a son-in-law of Peat en now dead, hoids a receipt ere Make- Stilwell tor $14, 000 in seven-thirty bonds, made on their part to bankraptcy. Which ert baited, Stilwell to pay. Mr. Stilwell denies that the receipt was given to Makepes ce in that form for the purpose of evading taxation, a practice the latter been Presale for some years. ‘This Corwin, it is sserted, threatened to make Stilwell suffer if he aid not ‘scknowled the claim, and this indictment is by geome believed to be his work. It charges Stilwell with having overdrawn his account at that bank tothe amount of $70,000 at the time of the aug) ris ne, the cashier of the bank, is also in- dicted for ‘embezzlement, on the same grounds, and jury is also charged against him for swear- ing statements concerning the condition of the bank. He leit the city on Thursday night last to visit a brother in Cincinnati, but will return here to-morrow. His iriends ciaim that the report that he has fled is false, % Stilwell at once gave bail in the sum of $10,000, with Judges Lake and Pierce, J, M. Dick- son and LeeM, ‘frees on the bond. Mr. Stitwell’s friends and the friends of the bank bee that the liabilities of the bank, amounting to $139,000, will be paid im full as soon as the assets can be realized on. Public sentiment is divided in the matter, one | para 2 inciuding the disappointed depositors, will- ing to believe anything bad of the parties en- trusted. while others—a large majority, it is be- Meved—acquit Mr. Stilwell oi any criminal intent in the matter. HOBOKEN LIQUOR DEALERS IN A HOBBLE. A large aumber of liquor store proprietors were arraigned before Recorder Bumstedt yesterday for vending liquors without a license. Some of the most prominent storekeepers of the city were among the negligent offenders, and were fined $10 each, there being no loophole of escape. Most of them immediately procured licenses, but there yet remain over forty disciples of Bacchus, making a total of eighty who have to undergo the penalty. They were astonished, one and all, at the thought that the whiskey element had ‘or once to knock under in Hoboken.

LL Streer, Sear tee 16—6 P, iu. } ‘The attitude of Congress with reference to the great financial question of the hour is provoking throughout the country not a little comment. The public mind ts being educated. Discussion is evok- ing something like a public sentiment, The facta presented argumentatively, pro and con., by the people’s representatives in both the Senate and House of Representatives are attracting the tention of the thoughtful men of the country—the men whose brains respond to their pocket nerves, and whose pockets answer to their brains. In short, ideas on this great subject are becoming crystallized, and we miay reasonably hope, from the action of the national Legislature and its ex- pressed determination to pationtly await an ex- haustive review of all THE PROJECTS SUBMITTED, that when a bill is presented which provides the real cure for past and prescnt evils it will find en- dorsement at the lands of both government and people. While there is much of empiricism at work there is likewise being exhibited much con- servative good sense. While the demagogue who essays to make capital out of popular clamor from the West and South is pleading for infation, patriots and financiers are fighting for the true basis of national credit—the elements of an early resumption, As was said yesterday in one of the Senate speeches, “The country has been doing business on a scaffold, a good way up from solid ground, sustained by statute.” Ossa has been piled on Pelion to such an extent as to call for the best ability of the country, We find in response the action of chambers of commerce and boards of trade, These, in the main, have uttered their declarations in favor of the earliest’and best methods of A RETURN TO SPECIE PAYMENT; in favor not of direct contraction, but of any scheme, under whatever cover it may be con- cealed, that does not favor further expansion. The lessons of the hour are eloquent with the evils that follow even a small outiay from the $44,000,000 re- serve—less than $25,090,000. Yet we are so far trading only on an idea, The amount spoken of has not permeated business circles. It represents SOMETHING INTANGIBLE, but in the world of speculation it has been seized upon to increase deception, create artificiality, make prices for a few and delude thousands of poor fools who count figures for facts and build houses on sand, It is all wrong. If Congress does its duty it will keep the currency where it stood before the panic, It answered its purposes then; it may be made to answer its purposes now. The condition can be relieved by retrenchment. By saving we may recover. By spending we shall only advance a step further in the direction of na- tional bankruptcy. We do not lose sight of the fact that the Secretary is, as it were, “drawing eye teeth” every time he puts out an additional $100,000 from his reserve; but before the sum total is exhausted CONGRESS, AS THE BANKER OF THE NATION, must somehow or other provide means whereby the national disgrace of national default shall be avoided, and we may enter on a fresh and brighter career, We commit ourselves to no financial scheme, recognize and defend none of the projects now under consideration, yet, watching all, will sustain any plan which fairly promises protection to a reasonable volume of currency and insures its largegt and most valuable use for the benefit ofthe people. That we need greater elasticity for exist- ing paper money is beyond peradventure; but in attaining that elasticity it is possible to approach a specie paying basis without expansion and with- out detracting one 1ota irom the faith which the nation has pledged to the payment of its current obligations. THE MONEY MARKET. Money to-day has been easy at 3, 4 and 5 per cent, with free offerings. This is a condition of affairs which responds to that of Engtand: and France, where we find, according to cable reports, a free outpouring of funds and rates so low as to attract investments on this side of the water. Foreign exchange was advanced to $4 84 for prime bankers’ 60 days’ sterling, and $4 873 for demand; actual business was at $4 83 a $4 834%; and $4 86% @ $487, Commercial bills are very scarce and sold. as high a8 $4 82)4. DRY Goons ruronrs, The imports of dry goods this week are $2,202,498, and the amount marketed $2,315,338, ‘THE GOLD MARKET. Gold opened at 1113; and retained this average strength during the day, moving exceptionally to TAH, but closing at 11134. Opinion was mucn divided as to the causes of the change, but it is strongly hinted that # party are endeavoring to sell the market short, and that their endeavors are based on the Senate discussions, which have re- cently favored a return to specie payments, The undertone, however, has not been lost, and the bulls of the market confidently predict higner prices. Everything depends on the action of Con- gress, and that seemsa long way off. The rates patd for carrying to-day were 6)4, 7, 5, 4 amd 434 per cent, and for borrowing flat. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

Its general tone was that of wearmess. It has advanced and enjoyed the highest prices of the season and felt the result of depressing influences. More of the latter were enforced to-day, there being a sharp pressure to sell, especially at the close, when rumors troubled the street concerning a fire in Bos. ton. There were also suggestions that Lake Shore would pass its dividend. The discussion in the Senate favoring a return to specie payments Mikewise had its effect, and prices fell of from 44 to 2 per cent, without recovery, until near the close, when & slight rally afforded encouragement, and gave rise vo a better feeling for the morrow. ‘The following were some of the principal fuctua- Vions:—Western.
