WASHINGTON, Sept. 19, 1874. The Redemption of Currency. The National Bank Redemption Agency gives notice that in consequence of the expansion of the five per cent fund and the failure of the nationat banks to make & prompt and general response to the request for an additional deposit of five per cent of their circulation, it has become necessary to stop the redemption of national bank notes for a short time, Remittances of national bank notes which are now in transit will be counted and paid for, but those remitted after this date will be held until notice is given of the resumption of redemp- tions. Mean while the whole force of the agency will be employed on the assortment of the notes already returned, 10 order to enable it to make calls upon the banks to reimburse the Treasury for their redemption. It is hoped that redemptions will be resumed within two or three weeks. The ces- sation of redemptions need not prevent com- pliance with the call for the additional five per cent deposit. The larger the amount of legal tenders deposit under the call the sooner the agency will Le enabied to resume redemptions. ‘There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the operation of the additional call, The deposits made under this call will oe treated simply as are advances {rom the banks to reimburse the Treas- ury for their notesredeemed but not yet assorted. As fast as the notes shall be assorted their amount will be charged against the additional aeposit, and no request for reimbursement will be made upon the banks making the deposit until tt shall be ex- hausted, BUTLER'S ESSEX SPEECH. Boston, Mass., Sept. 19, 1874. General Butler addressed the voters of Essex this evening upon the political issues of the day, and requested their suffrage. His speech was in substance the same as that delivered in Gloucester. The condition of Southern affairs received particu- lar attention and he argued that if he were refused a re-election One faithiul watchdog woula be re- moved from the tower of right and of justice, and such @ howl would go up from rebeldom as had not been heard since the beginning of the war. In addition to the points touched upon in the first speech he spoke Of the proposed rectprocity treaty, expressing himself as unalterably opposed to it on the ground that it would strike @ death- blow to the shipbuilding interests of hig district. He was opposed to civil service reforta, because men would be kept in office all their fives, and it discriminated against the poor soldiers and their widows in favor of those who spent their lives in accumulating mere book learn- ing, which was not practical. The attendance was as large asthe hall would accommodate, and considerable enthusiasm was mantiested. e THE BEPUBLIOAN OONVENTION. Election of Delegates by County Organ- izations. ITHaoa, N.

An a cident to me, they Jelt, would have made compli- cations desperate. There were none but cclored militia in the State House, and had they made any resistance they would have been ourned out and massacred, the building beivg entirely mdefensi- bie. If our friends will come bere and help us we Will be very glad. It is understood that of the 600 Metropolitans on duty last Monday only 250 could be mustered to-- day to relieve Baylon’s men. The Kellogg men ol- Jered as a compromise to allow Baylon to remain as Chief of Po ice; but he declined the position unless the control of the force was committed to the city. Colonel Baldy, of the Metropolitans, has taken charge of the stations. Only a few of the Metro- politans are on the streets to-night, When Governor Kellogg reachea the Executive office this morning General Brooke approached the Governor and iniormed him that he was prepared to turn over to him the State House and all the records and _ public property belonging to the State which had come into his possession at the cime of the surrender of the iusurgents to his command.

Jonn OC. Brown, Governor, Nashville, Tenn, :— Srr—Your despatch of yesterday has been re- ceived and referred to the United States District Attorney lor the Western district of Tennessee jor areport. As there is now no official informa- tion of his proceedings here, when his report is | received I will give you a more definite answer, or nave the Attorney General do so. 1 will state, however, that it is yery, gratiiying to know that the State authorities of Tennessee are disposed to | suppress and punish a class of lawless acts so dan- gerous to life and so opposed to every political, financial and moral interest of the State. But the constitution makes tt my duty to en- force the acts of Congress, and Congress has passed laws giving the United States jurisdiction in such cases as are referred to in your despatch. No special order has been given to_the tederal oMictals in Tennessee further than thé ciicular of September 3 of the Attorney General, which is general in its nature, and constitutes instructions to all marshals and district attorneys, whenever violations of said acts may occur. I will aad that | the State and general governments, as you aro well aware, may have concurrent’ jurisdiction | over the same offence, as, for example, in cases of | counterieiting, and the action of the State authori- ties in such cases does not prevent the general | government irom proceeding against the offend- ers, U.S, GRANT.

Considerable apprehension was felt here to-day for the safety of the steamer Lake breeze, from Benton harbor fer this port, she being overdue twelve hours, and @ tug was sent to look for her and found her, helpless and drifting, some thirty miles from this port, her machinery being dis- abled, She was anchored by the tug, which then returned for assistance to tow her in here, Special despatches to the Tribune from Daven- port and Dubuque, lowa, and Kock Island, Ill, give an account of a terrible storm of rain and wind tn those localities last evening, by which a great amount of property was’ destroyed and damaged. At all those places houses were un- rooted, walls blown down and fences scattered, while cellars and basements were filled with water. The whole surrounding country was flooded. At Rock Island the First Presbyterian church was nearly destroyed, a portion of the roof | being Ilited up and dropped through into the base- ment, Carrying with it the organ, pulpit and Noor, and upon these agreat portion of the wails fell. It ts impossible to estimate the amount of the damage, but it will be many thousand doilars, During the storm a freight train on the Illinois Central Railroad, when three miles west of Dun- leith, ran into a break caused by the flood. The engine was completely wrecked and the engineer, Andrews; the fireman, Orton, and a brakeman named Allison were buried beneath the ruins, They were taken out in a terribly scalded and bruised condition. Allison died soon after. The other two are lying in @ critical con- dition, “FATAL AGOIDENT, Shortly after six o'clock last night an unknown man, roughly dressed, of medium height and build, attempted to jump from the Battery pier dock to the steamer Thomas Kiley, lying close by, but accidentally fell between the two and received fatal internal Injuries. He was picked up by the boat’s pilot, Captain Albert, who summoned a con- | veyance and carried the wounded man to Bellevue Hospital, where he died at hall-past eight o'clock. There was nothing about his person to lead to his identification, but the mdications are that he is a boatman engaged tn the locality where the accl- dent occurred, and it is expected that his friends will appear and claim the body.
