WASHINGTON. te WASHINGTON, July 31, 1874. A Call Issued for Twenty-five Millions of Registered and Effect on Finances. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury mysteriously dis- | appeared from Washington this morning or last of the department. The change was so sudden and unexpected that the routine callers were much surprised to find the door leading to the Secretary’s room closed. An extraordinary event in midsummer in Washington is never without truth{ul explanation. The departure of Mr. five-twenty or six per cent bonds. About tweive o’clock to-day the horde of stock speculators em. ployea in the Treasury Department went ont to get their lunch and take @ peep at the stock indicator. It was not to see what the | market was, bat what effect certain in- formation confidentially imparted yesterday had on quasi investments. Some of them appeared as if their noses were painted with New England rum, and some would have been glad to have bad half the color of their associates. The result of the | examination of the stock indicator was not favor- aole to further speculation. The Acting Secretary of the Treasury stated to representatives of the press that tne call was for $25,000,000 of five-twenty Donds, $20,000,000 of which were coupon and | $5,000,000 registered bonds, the coupons oeing of | the third series, act of February 25, 1862. It has been learned that not only had the programme been fully anticipated among those interested, | but the entire programme in reference to the bal- ance of the call was known yesterday among job- bers in Wall street. ‘he following cail will be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury to-mar- row:— By virtue o! the authority given by the act of Congress, approved Cee) 1870,entitied “An act to authorize the refunding of the national debt,’ | 1 hereby give notice that the principal and ac- crued interest of the bonds herein below desig- nated, known as “five-twenty bonds,” will be paid at the Treasury of the United States, in the city of | Washington, on and after the 1st of November, 1874, and the terest on said bonds will cease on that day—that is to say, coupon bonds known as the third series, act of February 25, 1862, dated May 1, 1862, coupon bonds; $50, No. 12,201 to 14.500, both inclusive; $100, No. 33,201 to 45,100, both in- clusive; $500, No. 19,401 to 28,700, both inclusive; | $1,000, No. 47,301 to 70,200, both inciusive; total, | $20,000,000, Registered Bonds—$50, No. 1,461 to | 1,750, both inclusive; $100, No. 10,701 to 13,300, both 7,700, both inclusive ; | $1,000, No. 67 to 31,609, both inclusive; $5,000, No. 8,304 to 9,800, both inclusive; $10,000, No. 10,515 to 11,750, both inclusive; total, $5,000,000, Grand total, 25,000,000, | | Of the amount outstanding (embraced in the numbers as above) $20,000,000 are coupon bonds,and $5,000,000 are registered bonds.

Rumor of a Serious Mishap to Attorney General Williams. Distressing rumors were circulated to-day to the effect that an accident of a serious nature had befallen Attorney General Williams at the Depart- ment of Justice. The oficials refused information as to where the Attorney General was last heard from. To the question of where a telegram would Teach him no one could be found willing to give | any information of nis whereabouts. A telegram Was sent to the President to the effect that the Attorney General could not be found by telegraph, and the message was returned to the sender with the poor consolation that the President was also 3 2 2 = 2 8 | beyond the subtie influence of electricity. The Postal Car Dificulty—The Question | Likely To Be Brought to an Issue. There is considerable speculation at the Post OMce Department as to the course Mr. Hinckley, President of the Philadelphia, Wtlmington and Baltimore Railroad, will pursue in regard to the | postal cars to-morrow, he having notified the de- partment that he will not take the postal cars after the present month without a higher rate of compensation. Mr, Bangs, superintendent of the postal car service, goes to Philadelphia this even- ing, aod will be ready to act for the department should Mr, Hinckley carry out his threat. Mr. Hinckley to-day telegraphed to Postmaster General Jewell, saying the mail contractor on the Gray's Ferry road, which connects Mantua and the ferry, wanted to know what he should do with the mail bound south arriving at Gray’s Ferry to- morrow, and that said contractor was willing to contract for delivering the mats in Baltimore. He also asked how much would be paia the con- tractor for Uns service. This is regarded as an evidence of Hinckiey’s intention to withdraw the cars to-morrow, The Postmaster General for- warded arepiy stating that the department could not pay the contractor referred to any more than that now paid to the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Ratiroad Company.
