The National line steamer Egypt, which satled from New York March 28, arrived at this port this “evening. THE STEAMSHIP EUROPE LOST. The Egypt brings the frst officer of the steamer Greece, of the same line, and a salvage crew rescued from the French Transatlantic Company’s steamer Europe, which they endeavored to save, but were compelled to abandon at sea in a sinking condition, alter all the passengers and crew on board had been rescued by the Greece. STATEMENT OF THE FIRST OFFICER OF THE GREECE. The firsf officer of the Greece reports as {ol- lows :—“Left Liverpool March 25 and Queenstown 26th for New York. On the 2d of april we en- ‘countered the French steamer Europe, which sailed from Havre March 27 for New York, in a | sinking condition and took off her passengers and crew, 400 in number. With twenty men I re- Mained on board the Europe, in hope of saving her, while the Greece proceeded on her voyage to ‘New York with the people rescued from the -French steamer. ABANDONED. On the 4th of April we signalled the steamer Egypt and asked to be taken in tow. consented and bawsers were made fast; but, owing to a heavy sea, the lines parted, and as the ‘water was constantly gaining on us we concluded to abandon the Europe.

On receipt of the above despatch last night, a HERALD reporter at once paid a visit to Mr. Mackenzie's house, in Forty-eighth street, in order to ascertain, if possible, the names of whe passengers, the nature of the cargo, and, in fact, any information in the possession of Mr. Mackenzie, whois the New York agent of ‘the company. might, but upon being informed of the nature of the business upon which the reporter wished to see | him he at ouce came irom his room. Mr. Mackenzie had received no despatch advising him of the loss of the Europe, and at first refused to credit the news. In order, however, to put all doubt at rest, Mr. Mackenzle drove with the re- porter to the HERALD office, where the despatch was read to him, when he became con- vincea of the truthiulness of the disastrous tidings, a#aying there appeared to be no room leit what- ever for doubt, the details given by the cable being so minute and circumstantial. Mr. Mac- Kengie stated that he was ata loss to understand how it was no word had been sent to him by the managers of the line in Europe. He at once, after reading the Geapatch, telegraphed to Paris for further informa- ‘tion and was expecting to receive an answer | early this morning. Mr. Mackenzie said | the Europe was one of the finest ships of the feet owned by the company, and was considered by all to be a fine, seaworthy ves- gel and well found in every respect, She was lengthened last year at Newcastle-on-Tyne, Englana, and altered from a sidewheel steamer to a propeller. Her tonnage was 4,600; length, 426 feet; breadth of beam, 44 feet. She was | commanded by Captain .Lemarie, an able and ex- perienced captain, and who has been in the em- ploy of the company for a number of years, He has always been considered a skilful and careful navigator, and no fauit can, it is thought, be at- tributed to him as to the loss of the ship. Mr. Mackenzie has no list of the passengers nor mani- fest of the cargo, which, It 1s supposed, was of the | ‘asnal character on the ships’ of this line, consist- ing of wines, silks, &c.

Har- ris said he could spar with: any man in the world and Clough said he could not. High words ensued, when Harris struck Clough several heavy blows und then attempted to clinch and throw him, buat Qlough was too quick, and, stepping back, drew _a_ revolver and fired three shots at Harris, two As soon as Clough saw the mischief he had wrougnt he fled through the entrance on South Fifth avenue to the street and made good his escape. Harris’ friends called a carriage, put the wounded man in it and drove him to the Fifteenth precinct station house, A surgeon was at once Called in and on examination pronounced the wound in the abdomen of a fatal nature, Harris did not seem in the least dis- concerted at his precarious condition, but acted a8 cool and collected as though he were about to “shy his%astor’ tnto the ring in the old, familiar style. He would answer none of the questions put to him by the various members = of the press who thronged the station house as soon as the news of the affair became known at the Central Office. ‘to @ question asked him by one reporter Dooney very gereny intimated that bis interrogator mignt “Go 0 hell! In ali Mec eaiity, Clough is ere this far beyond the reach of any of New York’s slow policemen or detectives, He is a young man, and, although not more than twenty-iour or twenty-five years of age, 1s well Known to the police a8 @ desperate cnar- acter. Dooney Harris is about thirty-seven Soe of age, apd is Well known in various parts of the country as 4 tough prize fighter. For several yeurs he lived in Jalifornia, where he was engaged in several fights, in most of which be came of the victor. He re- jused last night to state where he lived, or whether or not he had a tamily, He was removed to Beile- vue Hospital in an ambulance. AMATEUR RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The Irish Challenge to America Ac- cepted—Preparations for the Match— | The Stakes Ready—Elcction of Officers. | A meeting of the Amateur Rifle Association was held last evening in Company @ room, Seventh regiment armory. The President, Mr. Wingate, stated that all was going on well towards the match with the Irish team. Five hundred dollars had been secured, which was sufficient to put up as stake. ‘The | match would cost in all $1,000, There was no | aouvt that the majority of the contestants in the | United States would come from the Amateur Rifle Club. He hoped members would practise well and keep & close record of their shots, that the best men might be selected, and in sucha case no doubt America would make a good stand in the match. The challenge came trom eight Irish riflemen who won the Elcho badge at Wimbledon in 1873, and who have a high reputation, Alter the reading of tae minutes the Secretary read letters from several persons, notably two rifle Mauulacturers who have made each a gilt of $250. towards the match. . A resolution was passed approving of what had bined thus jar in connection with the rifle match, There was some discussion as to the adoption of a baage, it seeming to be the opinion that, as the club would soon be able to inscribe “Champion” upon it alter winning the match with the Irish team, it was better not to adopt a design at pres- ent, As to the certataty of the club being the win- ner there Was apparently no doubt. A committee of three was appointed to consider the erection of @ building at Creedmoor tor the use of the club. The election of officers for the ensuing year then took place and resulted as follows :—George E. Win- ate, President; Henry A. Gilderslieve, Vice Presi- ent; Fred. P. Fairbanks, Secretary.

PEDESTRIANiSM, The Brown-Mullen Match Postponed tor Two Weeks. The ten-mile walking maton for $1,000 between Billy Brown, of New York, and Edward Mullen, of Boston, announced to come off yesterday at Deerfoot Driving Park, on the Coney Island roads has been tponed until Tuesday, 21st inst., play or pay. Both men were on the ground at the time agreed upon, and both desired to walk, but the backer of Mullen deemed the track, which was quite muddy, unfit for the trial, The result of two hours’ negotiation on the matter was that Mullen allow Brown’s party $40 for expenses, and post- pone as above. There was a large crowd present HOOTING THE ORUSADERS, A Mob Attacks the Praying Bands in Dayton, Ohio—A Proclamation Issued Forbidding Further Strect Devotions. Dayton, Ohio, April 7, 1874. Notwithstanding the fact that the democracy were jubilant over their victory over the crusaders and were in no humor to endorse saloon prayers, the women repaired to the curbstones yesterday, and continued their efforts. The result was what might have been anticipated. The crasaders were surrounded at Rapp’ loon by a boisterous rabbie and prey insulted. A knife was brandished, o pistol displayed and a riot was so imminent that the Police Commissioners were obliged to inter- fere and request the women to retire from the streets, The crowd ed the foulest language, and utterly stified song and prayer by aproarious hooting. Tne Police Commissioners requested the women to appear no more on the streets during the day, and requested Mayor to issue @ proclamation against the present mode of crusading because it tends to disturb the public peace, The democratic triumph ts regarded oy them as popalat condemnation of crusading an it is probably ended tn Dayton. The Mayor has accordingly issued a prociama- tion requiring the police to keep the bands of women away irom the saloons ana to eniorce the State laws against liquor seliing, Both parties are intensely excited, \ceommeasnlsdivetaidisliten « The Fifth Avenue Theatre.

Anthony Drexel, of Philadelphia, Offered ®@ Portfolio by President Grant. PHILADELPHIA, April 7, 1874. It is well known that President Grant has just concluded an interview with the leading banking men in Philadelphia, being, while in this city, the guest of Mr. Anthony Drexel. Of course, during his stay here, there were innumerable rumors upon the street, many of which were too ri- diculous to be ‘repeated. With these ru- mors, however, there was mingled a certain degree of fact, and, what is most strange, the tory which seemed to be the most improbable turns oat tobe the trath, The latest telegrams received here from Washington are to the effect that no one knows whether Mr. Richardson in- tends to resign or not; but by the President’s con- versation when here, supplemented by an actual offer which is not below, it becomes evident that the President anticipates the resignatien of Mr. Richardson and that he is now looking around for another Secretary to fill his place. ‘The rumor upon the street yesterday was that the position of Secretary of the Treasury had actu- ally been offered to Mr. Drexel, The rumor was by no means @ general one, but was intrusted to only a jew, and these few were of course inclined to utterly discredit it, To-day, however, your cor- respondent received positive information, which cannot be doubted, that President Grant does an- Ucipate the resignation of Mr. Richardson, and has offered the position to Mr. Anthony Drexel.

Wales being here may be ascribed the appearance ofa bill intro- duced in Senate and House to-day, amending sec- tion eighty-three of the New York charter so as to state distinctly that the Commissioners of Parks have exclusive management and control over all the streets immediately adjoining the public parks on Manhattan Island. As the charter leaves the question ina muddle, and is responsible for the Riverside Park bill, this is supposed to be an at- tempt to settle the troublesome subject for the future. As Van Nort appears to have quit the field, so Wales hopes to have no trouble in passing his bill, and is consequently greatly elated, IMPORTANT VIEWS OF GOVERNOR DIX. In the Senate, a message from the Governor ow the national finances was the chief event of the day. The prominent candidates for Governor om both sides spoke in favor of it, ana everybody ap- peared ready with a resolution of tndorsement, The following is the text of the message:— To Tux Leaistatore >— I deem it due to the interest and honor of the State to call upon you, its chosen representatives, to take into consideration’ the propositions before Congress Mm regard tothe currency, Though yet immature and requiring the concurrent action of both Houses to give them the validity of law, they have nevertheless received in each such pariial sanction as to excite serious alarm as to the result. In my annual message, in January last, I ex- pressed the’ earnest bope that culation, “ised by | the | government curtailed, and at early steps taken to resume = specte anticipate that so extraordinary a proposition as that of inflating the currency by adding to the outstanding legal tender notes or by authorizing a further issue ‘of national bank paper would be seriously made. of the purpose which has been indicated to enlarge the volume of paper of both descriptions and to repudiate all attempts to re-establish the stundard of specie—a volicy, as I sincerely beileve, fraught with wide spread ruin to the industry of the country and with imminent danger to its credit—I invoke your interposition to con- tribute all in your power to prevent its adoption. Your opinion, Bp | as you do more largely than the Legistature of any other State the fnancial and commer- Cial interests of the Union, should carry with it great weight. The flagrant injustice of the proposed measure will bo more apparent when you consider thut, if adopted with- out repealing the Legal Tender act tho result will be hot only to depreciate the paper currency still further, but to compel its acceptance in payment of debt, th ‘openly violating the solemnly proclaimed pledge of the Rovernment five years ayo to redeem its notes in specie “at the earliest practicable period,” mpairing the obll- gation of contracts and consummating what the consti- tution prohibits to the States as an act of moral and po- Iitical turpitude, To degrade the currency and at the same time to compel the people to receive it as an equi- valent to specie would be the most tyrannical exercise and abuse of nnancial power of which a civilized gov- ernment hasover heen guilty in time of peace. It differs in no essential respect either under its moral or its prac- tical aspects irom a degradation of the stanaard of specie by an adulteration of the national coin. Five years ago the sense of rectitude would have re- volted at the suggestion of such an act of public perfidy; but a persistence in wrong and injustice rarely ialls to reconcile turther wrong to the thought first and to the burpose afterwards. spurning away all the teachings of history and tri ling under toot all the maxims of political justice, we adopt a policy as fraudulent as it {» demoralizing, our successors will look back on our conduct with hu- miliation ana shame. ‘The millions of depreciated and irredeemable paper, if issued as proposed, will, by a. law of distribution which no buman power can control, be poured into the city of New York to uphold and stimalate stock gambling, to lut the channels of industry with false tokens of value, embarrass ull honest trauisactions of business, to cause reactions in the various departments of labor, by which the working classes are thrown out of employment, and to apake to Its foundations the <abric ot the public credit. Agi it the introduction of such an instrument of dis- honor and calamity we should enter our solemn protest, as we would against any other flood ot contamination. Lapeak with a clear understanding of the force of my words. [believe and trast you will concur with me in opinion that the emergency demands the plainest and most emphatic language. 1 therefore recommend such an expression on your part as may comport with the dignity of the Legislature and as you may dvem due to the interests of your constituents. I am not without hope thata timely declaration of your views, to be presented to Conse through the Senators and Representatives trom this State, may arrest the torrent of disgrace and the ‘paper cir- ‘would be would Payments. id not ai the right to sapervise thy visors e ie acti 4nd reduce their audits pares hie kta! oy! oon ave named thri - finsmuch ee e@ cases were PES onsen A.

It was answered to | this that the Comptroller was simply to collate and examine vouchers recetved from the soard of Supervisors and add them up and compare them for ministerial action and for pertect- ing bookkeeping, and was ordained tor establishing a procedure among municipal otticials, Dae did not aiminish the right of a clatmant to get bis Money directly upon the judictal action of the Supervisors, Judge Porter stated, during the argument, that he had been assured by the Comp- troller that hundreds of thousands of dollars ce- pended dpon the decision in these cases; that if the Comptrotier had the right to reconsider and revise the action of the Supervisors he could re- duce amounts very materially and save the treasury largely. The arguments consumed the day, and the Cours reserved its decision. BRIGHTON NATIONAL BANK. The Rumored Defalcation Denied by the Directors and Officia: Boston, Aprth 1, 1876, The reports which were going the rouvds of Snancial centres in this city on Monday regarding the irregularities in the National Bank of Brighton, Nave at last come more definitely before the pub- Mo, and those interested im the affatrs of the bank breathe more freety to-day, at least.so far ax the statements of the officers o1 tire bank are concerned, the main features of which are that there bad been No defalcation, and al reports which had gatmed extensive etrculation of a deficiency im the fands of the bank were false. ‘The offictals state that J. L. Ordway bas resigned the presidency of the bank and that 1. M. Jordan had beew appointed temporary Prestaent. According to the statements of Mr, Jordan it seems that Mr. Ordway, the ex-President, had become a borrower on the bank for n amount of $16,000, the loan being sanctioned by the Board of Directors, Ordway giv- ing the bank as security a aa on his real ea- tate for $25,000, The only act of Mr. Ordway thas could be construed into an irregularity related to acertificate of deposit for $2,000, No criminal tn- tent beiog alleged on his part, A careful exam- imation of the accounts has been made and everv- thing is found correct; so state the officers, The reason given by the omcials for the removal of Mr. Ordway is that they desired achange. Notwitn- standing the statements of Mr. Jorcan that these’ were the facts which had given rise to the many rumors that the bank was defrauded heavily, the State Bank Commissioners are today making ® thorough investigation of the bank's accounts. Colonel Needham has forwarded the following letter in regard to this matter:— Brionton. April 4, 187& To rum Prestpent aND Directors ov Tax NaTioNAL Bane or Branton. Ganrinwen—Having had oceamen, from my recent ex. amination, to call your attention to certain transactions * by vour late President. J.T. Ordway, which taneas- tions were unauthorized and dangerous to the p ency and safety of your institution, I have to your prompt dismissal of Mr. Ordway meeta my approval. I am happy thas the defleit oocurring by the temporary missapplication of the funds of the bank has been made good by the late President and that the bank is in a sound condition and ts not @ loser by any of his transactions.
