WASHINGTON, July 28, 1874, Final Negotiations for the New Loan Concluded. Negotiations for the balance of the five per cent funded loan were concluded by the Secretary of the Treasury to-day with Messrs. August Belmont & Co., on behal’ of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild & Sons, of London. and Messrs. J. and W. Seligman & Co. on behalf of themselves and their assvciates. These parties made an absolute subscription $45,600,000, coupled with the option of taking the remainder of the loan at any ume within six months. The loan is taken at par, to be paid for in coin or five-twenty bonds, the parties to receive one quarter of one per cent commission, and to defray all expenses of the transaction, including the delivery of the bonds. From the well known reputation of these bankers no doubt exists at the Treasury Department as to their ability to place the entire loan.

The train from New York due here at 11:20 o'clock last night, when one mile west of Palmer, was assailed bya gang of miscreants, who threw several stones through the windows, one striking a map in the smoking car, cutting a bad gash over car, inflicting a irightful wound on her temple and rendering her insensibie, aid was procured, aud the man was left at that place. The lady was taken to West Brookfield. At Palmer a party of men was organized and sent back in search of the ruMans.

A DISHONEST BANK CASHIER DI¢MISSED. Extenuating Circumstances of the Case. Boston, July 28, 1874, Yesterday Daniel Needham, tie National Bank Examiner, visited the Me.ford National Bank, where an examination resulted in his preferring charges against the cashier, A. G, Underwood, for dishonesty, The cashier was at once dismissed by the directors. Mr. A. G, Underwood, the defauiting cashier, always stood very high in the community and was at one time a bank commissioner under the old State law. He is about seventy years of age, and bad been in the bank many years. He makes no defence, except that his salary was small, ‘The “irregularity” Is the result of the appropriation by Underwood of commissions and fees that prop- erly belonged to the bank, the extent of which, after a long series Of years, 1s oniy in the neigh- into the bank aban, fleld against Mouena, 12 to 1 against Chingachook | The steamer Milbank, of Sunderland, bound | what I say tha Was sunk off fey ear lia Midst da ate Re | is who found the elder boy cymg in the street and | for | THE CUNNING KIDNAPPERS. Philadelphia Papers Gathering News from the Herald, THE BOY’S PORTRAIT. What Was the Route of the Abductors P PHILADELPHIA, July 28, 1874, Surprising as the news may seem, I can state anthoritatively thas up to this time nothing addi. tional regarding the kidnappers of little Charley Ross has transpired. There was a rumor this morning to the effect that the mysterious buggy had been seen up theriver. I hurried off in that direction, and, aiter carefully hunting out the lo- | cality mentioned, found a boy washing a buggy | that certainly resembles the description of the one used by the kidnappers. The stabie boy could give @ perfect bistory of the conveyance, however, and, T could not find any dark bay horse in the stable, I was compelled to give up the searcn, I have not reported this to the police because I am not altogether satisfied with the result. Thestable isup in the neighborhood of Eyre and Robeson streets. The police may take a “shy” at it now, if they like. WORCESTER SPEAKS. Thad a long interview with Worcester this morn- ing. He isan exccedingly genteel and quiet 1ook- ing fellow. In answer toa question as to how the exchange of the child and the money could best be effected, he said:— “There 18 no ciause in the extradition treaty regarding kidnapping. The negotiations could taxe piace, then, on the Canadian border. The thing is easy enough tu manage. The triends of Mr. Ross, or an officer, can go to a house on the Canadian side, say across the bridge at Niagara Falls, and the very moment the money is paid the child can be brought from the adjoining room and delivered over. The kidnappers can laugh at the men who propose to take them. No warrant could be obtained to take anybody ont of Canada on sucha charge. This is my opinion regarding the easiest method of settling this matter up. You have asked me and this is what I tell you.” “What do you think of the case, Worcester?” I asked, “Pil tell you just what I think of it. [say to you just asIsaia to Mr. Ross, last evening, when-I called on him, that this boy will never be forth- coming until] the money is paid—that is, unless the abductors make some egregious blunder. The best “cross men” in the world are lable to get into trouble in that way.” “Why do you think so?” I asked. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS LITTLE ENOUGH. “Simply because, speaking professionally, ¢they woula be fouls to do so, Their daoger is by no means a common one. I am sure that the case could have been compromised for $5,000 within a ‘week of the abduction of the child, As soon as the men could have been convinced that they had made a mistake in their man, they would have closed up the job on the best possible terms and avoided further publicity. The casc was badly managed at first, and now it has become 80 no torious that the men will never give up the boy until they can get rid of him to advantage. Toa thief or a burglar $20,000 seems little enough money for the compromise of the case as it stands to-day. “What bas raised the price?” I asked, “Several causes have contributed,” replied Wor- cester, “The bungling work of the police and tne conviction which has settled down on the minds of the kidnappers that the Philadelpnia police can never catch them unless they “show up’ in some way or other. ‘Inen, the Mayor’s reward has had tnat tendency also. When the newspapers took hold of the matter it had tne effect also to make tuem more careful. I ask you then, as Uharles Read advises every man to do, to “put yourselves iu their place’ and see what you would reckon as a fair compensation ‘lor giving up home and being an exile for the rest of your ile? Is $20,000 too much when you are debarred such rich, gullible ctties as I’titlaael- phia and Boston, with such police forces as they have, to workin? Lguess not. Don’t think trom I sympathize with these scoun- drels, Nota bitofit. 1 would travel the breadth of this country to give such men away. If I have no sympathy for a man’s pocket, I have for his heart. I tell you, if any man were to come and steal one of my bright eyed little pets I would have his blood it I hanged for it. Yes, sir; betore God, I would.” “Your family are tn Philadelphia, then ?”” “They have not been away irom the oy give you my address; come out and see my boy: replicd Worcester, vil 3,” Thanks.

THY PHILADELPIIA NEWSPAPERS, It should be bere stated, out of simpie justice to Seaniawe Spirit and enterprise, that the New ORK HEALD has communicated more to tne Poltce and the pubite concerning the mysterious abduction of Charley Ross than ail the other New York aud Philadeiphia journals combined, Did not the files of the separate journals show such conclusive proof of this the sigtement might be regarded as egotistical, but since the Philadeiphia newspapers acknowledge it by reproducing each day the pith and spirit of its columns, nothing ts wanting to corroborate the truth of this assertion, The HERALD was the first to enter into the de- tails of this case and give an analysis of the corre- spondence passing between the kidnapper and the broken-hearted tather; it was the first journal to state in til the plan proposed by the robbers for receiving the ransom and restoring the child, and has from the outset afforded every facility for ventilating each theory which irom tiie beginning bas agitated the public mind. A STRANGE “PERSONAL.” The Press this morning recognizes these facts by publishing a “Personal” which appeared in the ERALD of last Sunday, as follows :— A New Yo k gentleman, of ample means, in the hope of saving the lite of his invalid wife, who 18 growing in- sane over the Ross abduction, will pay an amount equal to the reward—viz., $2,(W—for the return to. bin of Charles B.

Turning aside from this, and leaving it as one of those comectures the truth of which time only can develop, and returning to the Central Head- quarters oi the police, your correspondent has dis- covered the following iacts:— THE PARTIES ARRESTED some time ago, because taey had engaged a car- riage upon several occasions at a certain livery stable, have not been released, as pre- viously stated, but ure still held “in quod,” They have, moreover, been proven to be guilty, not of abducting Charley Ross, but of having been eugaged in the thief” business among the residences of German- town. They are the parties who were seen driving in a dusty carriage along the Germantown roads, and an immense amount of stolen goods, consist- ing of money, silverware and clothing, was found, in their quarters at the time of their arrest. Beyond this nothing can be proved against them, and they are now exonerated irom having had anything to do with the abduction. Again the police have failed, although they have laid hands upon aset ofcriminals highly dangerous to the best imterests of the community. A MINOR REWARD TO BE OFFERED.

His bail was fixed at $14,000, Eviaence of his guilt seems tobe accumulating, and his neighbors ure very vindictive in their feeling against him.

Cross-Examination of Governor Baxter Before the Congressional Sub-Come mittee—The Charges Against Clayton, Dorsey and Hodges—The “Lie Direct’* Repeatedly Interchanged. LrrrLe Rock, July 28, 1874. The rumor that Governor Baxter would go om the stand to-day, and when there would be cross- examined by Senator Clayton in reference to charges made against him in Baxter's statement to the editor of the HERALD, caused the committed room to be filled to overfowing. BAXTER’S TESTIMONY, After the examination of one or two witnesser Baxter said he would go on the stand himself. He then went through the published testimony takey at Washington before the committee, commenting and contradicting as he went along. He statea as &@ preliminary that he had always intendea t@ make the reforms which Brooks spoke of tn the campaign, but wantea to do it throngw the republican party. He did not com sult with anybody about the manner of carrying the election, and never engaged in any frauds, and knew of no frauds in the election, except in a case where aman had, told him that he had substituted ten Baxter ballots for ten Brooks ones; at the time of the qua. up, the Governor being intent upon a punctual and harmonious execution of all the de- tails of the day’s programme. He was attended by Governor Groome, of Maryland, and each was surrounded by a “brilliant military staf.’ Goy- ernor Dix, in beuall of New York, was not present, but from his staf! as bis representatives, ang in behalf of the Empire State, We had Generals Morris, Heath and Duna, With the arrival of the Fifth Maryland at Free- hold Governor Parker and these attendants and others entered the train, which then, under the a particular point on the Monmouth battle field, through which the railway passes,about a mile and a haif from the village. At the designated point the train stopped, and the regiment, preceded by the full Marine Band from Washington, descenaing Jrom the train, entered a clover fleid. There, after forming into marching order by fours, the regi- ment, headed by the band, playing a lively air, the drum major leading the way, passed into a large field from which had lately been harvested a crop of rye, and through an apple orchard in this fleld and to the crest of a gentle hill, where, under the shade of a little grove of locust and apple trees, the regiment and all its attendants and fol- lowers were, without luss of time, gathered to hear Governor Parker's story of the battle of Monmouth, from this commanding point of the field. The landscape from this point all round us 1s pleasant to look upon. The scene of this important battleground ts that of a gen'ly un- dulating country of fertile fleids, from some of whon good harvests of wheat, rye or ss had been gathered, while others were utiinl to contemplate in the rich green | of their luxuriant growing Indian corn. And here and there, scattered about, were com- fortable cottages and patches Of forest, and in tne distance an old church was pointed out, relig- iousiy preserved as a Revolution iry reiic, and bear- ing still the marks of the great battle which eim- braced it, Governor Parker opened his story of the battie | to the Marylanders, by saying that we are here, entlemen, on the glorious Kevolutionary field of oninouth, and here where we stand the New Jersey troops and the Maryland line fought | side by side. From this nappy imtroduction the Governor proceeded to his story of the pattie, which, though not resulting to a complete victory to the Americans, was a decisive battle, because, it it | had been lost, it might, and probably would have | been the loss of the independence of our country | The Governor explained how this | cisive battle came to be tought away | here in tre heart of New Jersey, winter of 1777 General Washington and his army | were at Valley F there trom cold and privations you all know.

He com: menced his marc in Aprii, and Washington, his army from Valley Forge, was soon upon his track, On the 27th of June the two armies for the night encamped in this neighbor- hood, the British at Freehoid and the Aniericans 0 those hil near Kngishtown. During the | might the pickets of the two armies were tre- quently within hearing of each other, and it was evident to both sides that there must be a battic in the morning, Wasnington had resolved to attack ac daylight, and soon alter the dawn Gen- eral Lee was sent forward with nis column to feel the enemy. He was driven back in confusion. ; Governor Parker then pointed — out spot, near a_ little brook, where Lee was’ arrested in his wild retreat by Washington, und he told how by the intrepid bravery, skill and Inspiring example of Wasping- t was resiored and now the day Was ' savea, and how t! | hola retreated under cover ol tue night, and how Washington and his army slept upon the battie field, Aud tue historian of the day pointed out the | Governor’s special instructions, was moved out to | During the | never were in the ha yge, and how that army sulfered | warranto proceedings he had prepared and in his pocket @ proclamation of martial law, and if the Court had assumed jurisdictton he would have dispersed it and proclaimed martial law. “McClure told me himself,” said he, “that he had requested several county clerks not to send in the returns at an election in reference to the adoption of @ constitutional amendment. ff have always favored the idea or oa constitutional convention, but not openly; 1 anr notanxtous to remain Governor; 1 ‘became completely disgusted with the republican memvera of the Legislature of 1873 because of their actions; lwas never butonce in the Senate liouse; £ hone the Legislature will take away the Governor's appointing power; Idid take resignations irom otlicials before their appointment; t suspected the men, but nad promised to appoint them. THE GREATEST AMBITION of my life is to have a iree race with Mr. Brooks for tie office of Governor. I have used every ex- ertion to keep the peace since the arrival of the President’s proclamation. I want to file as testi. mony a statement of my views, prepared under my supervision. (NoTs.—Tiis was tue statemeut to the HERALD in relerence to the persecution which has been testified to here as naving taker lace.) I direct the committee's attention to Mr. rooks’ statement, given at the same time, as te whac he intended to do if he wripped the Baxter- eB. Cross-examination by Judge McCiure—I have promised that I would not call the Legislature of 1873 tovether alter their adjournment, and I never would have done so i! !t had not been for the trou ble which arose. Q. Did your disgust at the Legislature arise from the fact that they increased your appointing power and rejected Mr. Brooks’ petition, and did you not appoint forty of them to office? A. I was dise gusied with the Legislature and my appointees, and 1 took the resignations of twenty of them; revoked martial law, 80 as to allow the justices tc issue warrants jor treason, because mauy of my officers wanted to try Brooks and oficers belore a military court; I wanted things, i! done at all, te be done legally. THE RUPTURE BETWEEN BAXTER AND CLAYTON. By Senator Clayton—t have been informed that during the troubles the 1mpression was given out that the reason of my withurawal Jrom your sup= port was because you retused to sanction certain corrupt measures said to be favored by me.
