Everything Js im readiness for tho event, and the coachman re- terns again to his eld love with the satisiaction that bis venture bas been appreciated by the citizens of New York. The coach ran a good season last year, and opened up a beautilul line of country hitherio un- known to many Of its patrous. This year tbe distance 4s Increased vearly eleven miles the round trip, abd there is little doubt bus that the New Rochelie terminus will make a far pleasanter journey than when Pelham Bridge was the end of the route. There will be giveu increased écia: to tho opening of the season by the presence tuis morping of coaches belonging to members of the Coaching Club, who, with attractive ‘toads’? and **spanking teams’'—to adopt an old but characteristic phrase—will accompany Colonel Kane and party to the northern boundary of the Park, giving him an oid fashioned send-of that will be pleasant to receive as well as to see, These -coaches will bo the brown and black French built of Mr. George G.

Mr. Hayes will doubtless capture sume Southern democrats with pat- ronage, but he cannot reasonably hope to buila up a party here, or to even seriously affect the democratic party inthe South, Every Southern Stato will give its ‘Vote to the democratic candidate in 1880, in my judg. ment. As for the republican party, I think that party has little hope of retaining national control, Unless Blaine & Co, can whip Hayes back into the ranks the party is hopelessly divided, If they do this why then the unpopular elements of the party take charge of @flairs and led it to defeat.” Ex-Governor Brown is a thorough irreconcilable, Ho Wrote lewers advising democrats uot to submit to Hayes? inauguration, and since the 4th of March bas Deen unwavering in bis opposition, He has been at- tacking Senator Gordou quite severely for an alleged “understanding”? between Gordon and John Young Brown on one band and Stanley Matthews on Ut by which filibustering wus to cease and Louis! Carolina were to be irced. GARTRELL ON THE NEW PARTY, General L. J. Gartrell, an aute-belluin Congressman anda prominent cundidate for the next Senatorship, ts quite positive in his party views. He says:—'We may accept all that Hayes’ hus to give, but we inust keep Our Orgauization intact. The rank and file of the de= mocracy is under stricter discipline now than it bas ever been. I have been through the mountains lately, 4nd the peopie there have no patience witu any tulk of & pew party, Noman in Georgia can carry a corporal’s ard irom our ranks, The man who leaves the dem ‘atic party now will be overwhelmed with political jefeat, Do matter how brilliant he may be.

Congressman Milton A. Candier was found in the court room. ‘1 am a democrat,” bi id, in answer -to my query about tho new party. “Thats all 1 have say. Belng pressed further he said:—What need say further than this? Luma democrat, and I am ing to stick to the faith. ‘There is no sense in leav- g the party, We have nothing to do but to whip in int next fight, Hayes can’t pick up a corporal’s guard the Souto, Lbave never sent & petition to bim id I never will, The democratic party bas but one idea, und that is to wipe out the fraud four years trom pw.” Just as I was leaving bgn the worthy Cor “Hero now, about tuis old whig movement; osh, It’s nearly twenty years since we had a whig party, and the whigs bave lost all their preju- dices, Take Judge Wippe and Warren Akin.

MARKHAM BAYS. “It was easy to see that the republicans Were much More unsettled im their viows than the democrats,” Said Mr. Markbam, late candidate for Congress in the Capital district and the wealthiest repubiican in the Btate, don’t know what the HekALp’s new party ‘will Come to, Its editorial is based on the probable alliance between the conservative republican: servative democrais. ww, 1 do not think any of that sort of jocrats, party, if the split between Hayes and the party continues and deepens I should support Hayes, 1 do not know that 1 approve of his Southern policy, but it May turn out ali right. My policy should be to support “bim as agains: those who oppose him,” MARSHAL SMYTH Ex-United States Marsal Smyth had vory litt Bay. ‘I do pot think the split between Hayes and Biaine is nearly as seriou the Hixatp would have ‘as bel 1 beltev ere is a common ground of wisdom and patriotism that both can occupy, When the issue comes I believe they will both be found Standing together and jeading a solid republican party to the tulfilment of its mission, As to the President’s Southern policy, but littie can be said of that now, It willbe judged by its results, 1 think the President should be sustained.” GENERAL DELL.

Lf this good enougn for Lousiana republicans itis ough for Western republicans.” JUDGR LACARONK. Judge Lachrone, a couservative democrat, bat an in- pendeut thinker and the most brilliant talker iu the ute, takes an original view of things. Judge Lach- fone hus # large personal following, Says be:—"1 think Hayes’ course bas strengthened the republican party very much. 1 think his course will continue to Strenythen 1, We came nearer defeating that party with Tilden than we will in 1830, no mavier who runs, I believe that Hayes by bis liberal policy bas popu.

[think not. Both of the old organiations have too much prestige to disband, The republican party will go into bhe next contest; but it will be the republican purty of Hayes, and not of Blaine. The party wil not split, because it will raliy to Hayes’ support. [tis posaible shat the policy of the President will drive certain ments out of the party it will win more liberal mocrats than it loses of republicans.

DOG LAW. 130 446 A FOUR FOOT STRING OR A MUZZLE—MR, BERGH'S SCRUPLES ABOUT EXTERMINATION, Mayor Ely yesterday signed the dog ordinance and it now becomes a law. Under the charter all ordinances must be signed within ten da; {ter passage or before the next regular meeting of the Aldermen after this time has expired, The Mayor will issue a proclama- tion in a day or two, giving timely notice to all owners of canines to come forward and take out the necessary licenses or have their pets sent to an untimely grave, BERGH REFUSING TO CO-OPRRATE, An interview took place yesterday morning betweon Mayor Ely. Chief Clerk Hardy and Mr. Henry Bergh, with a view of bringing about co-operation in ad- ministration of the dog law, Several weeks since Mr Bergh intimated that his society would be willing to assume the custody and killing of vagrant canine but it appears that he bes sinco chavged his mind. Several ladies have requested tho Mayor, by letter, to hand over this duty to President Borgh, The gentile. man yesterday stated that, although willing to detail an officer to superintend the killing of the animals, yet the theory of his society was that animal life should be preserved and not killed. As these dogs existed it was fair to infer they were created for some wise pur- pose. With reference to the mothod of capture ho recommended that ambulances of a peculiar construc- tion should be used by the authorities and driven early io the morning through the neighborhood where vagrant dogs were most numerous. Scoopnets could be used for hoisting the animais into these ambu- lances. With regard to the method of destruction Mr. Bergh considered the most humane plan would be to place them in crates and submerge them either ina cistern or river, Mayor Ely said yesterday ho ro gretted very much that Mr. Bergh did.not deem it Practicable for his society to attend to the capture of those dogs. Ho (the Mayor) in the course of a few days will organize some system for that purpose, Yesterday he sent a clerk over to Brooklyn to cxam- ine into the plan pursued in that Jocality and which has just gone into operation. AMMITIOUS TO BE DOG CATCHERS. In relation to a dog pound Mr. Bergh suggested to the Mayor that there should be a plot of land selected and & permanent building erected for the custody of vagrant dogs. In Philadelphia a somewhat similar plan exists, a benevolent society with permanent butld- ings being: organized for that object. ‘wo hundred applicants have already presented their credentials to the Mayor for the important positions of dog catchers, ‘THE ORDINANCE IN FULL.

A consmittee of five, he suid, had been appornted to arrange rules, and for the present most of the officers of the Gold Exchange would act temporarily, Mr. McLeau, chairman of the Committee of Arrange- ments o! thy’ Swck Exchange on this matter. ulso spoke briefly, assuring the members of the Gold Board that it was desired to act im & Way that must prove satisfactory to them in this absorption of the Goid Board by tio Stock Exchange. At the conclusion of his remarks the Guld Exchinge adjourned sine die. THE COAL HOLE, Prior to the organization of the Gold Exchange thero Were one or two efforts at the formation of a corpora- tion for transactions in gold, which had then become an article of commerce. The first was started in basement in William street, called the ‘coal hole.’ At this tine the Stock Exchange, from pxtrictic motives, refused to trafic in gold, and the ‘cual hole” ‘crowd were rogarded ‘with — consider- able disfavor, Afterward the same clique and others had their headquarters in a placo called Gilpin’s newsroom, ‘The annual membership fee was $26, and the crowd was a mixed one, operating with- out rales, frequentiy violating contracts, making enough din and clatter to drive any sedate merchant crazy. The first efforts of unis knot of irrospousibic Speculators were of such an irregular chiructer that, Alter awhile, the reputable brokers, impelled by the exigencies of the time, concluded to start the Gold Ex- change, Mr. John Bloodgood organized this Board, which was promptly incorporated and opened at the corner of Beaver and William streets. [his was in October, 1864, two years and nive months alter the first sales of gold ata premium, The initiation fee at this timo was $200, Tho rules woro strict, and the mem- bers operated as tn the Stock Exchange, on a commis- sion for merchants needing gold. During the career of the old Gold Exchange, as 1t will henceforth be called, {t saw numerous and exciting “corners” in gold, Chiet among these was the "lack Friday” panic of September 24, 1869, the history of which 18 so well known. “BLACK ¥RIDAY.? At half-past nine the morning previous gold was quoted at 1415 and it closed at 143}. By the close the bulls had the market cornered, The first lot offered on “Black Friday” morning was one of 10,000 at 145, Then it foll off 4, but almost 1mmediately ad- vanced to 146, Great excitement ensued, and tn halt an hour gold was 150, Between eleven and hall-past eleven o'clock 1b reached 162}; Meantime the Dears were doing some independent transactions in gold ut 135, and on the receipt of a de- spatch from Secretary Boutwell ordering $4,000,000 gold sold and an equal amount of ' bonds purchased it dropped to 140. Bit tt rallied to 150 again, and at ist closed at 133. The Gold Exchange Bank, in consequence of these violent fluctuations, lailed to make its clearances for some days, and a period of much excitement succeeded, in which threats were made against the lives of prominent membors of the buli clique, In 1866, when Mr, McCullough was Secretary of the Treasury, his broker Bold one day $30,000,000 at 13045 Just after tho sale the steamer Cuba brought to city news of the failure in London of Overend, Gurney & Co., of the reported embarrassment of the Bank of England and of the battle of Sadowa, which, altogether, sent up the price of gold to 1684. Many other instances of the oxciting times through which the Gold Exchange existed might be cited, but they are too numerous to be given in detail in any brief account of these stirring experiences, To-day the Exchange opens at the usual hour, and business will go ongnuch the same as in the past.

Reid. Mr, Mack, who represents the additional charges agains: Mr, Ellis, was also 1B attem tance part of the time, A con- siderable part of the day was taken up by Mr, Best reading the minutes of the bank, sbowing that various dividends were declared by the bank directors, Mr. Floyd and Mr. Gregory in every case protesting, at times when Mr, Best claimed that there was a de- ticiency. Mr. Thomas Seldner, real estate agent, waa frst | called to testi'y a8 to the value of the Mechanies and Traders’ Bink baiding in 1815, He said that he was well acquainted with the building and judged tt to be worth irom $110,000 to $110,400. Mr, A. A. Gould, of No, 196 Prospect place, Brook- lyn, was also called as an expert. He bad been a real estate dealer for a number of years, He knew the premises on President street owned by the bank, In 1374 they were worth $40,000, Since that tine Brook- lyn property bad deteriorated avout lilty per cont. The property was now worth $15,000, Mr. Brinckerhotl, a New York real eatute broker, said that in 1874 the bank building was worth from $100,000 10 $105,000, It was worth that much for bavking or insurance purposes. The examination of the minutes of the bank was | then evtered into. Mr, Best read from the minutes | the various portions he wished to pat in evidence. ‘They showea that when the question of reduction was brought up it was always deferred and no action was taken on the subject, They also showed that dividends were declared on several occasions when Mr, Bost claimed there was a deficiency, Mr. Chapman, counsel for Mr. Ellis, said that be proposed to show there was no deficiency, X 1 THB CROSS-EXAMINATION. Mr. Bost wag next cross-examined on the minutes by Mfr, Chapman, In answor to the latter’s questions he replied that if ne dividend had been declared by the directors the depusitors would have become alarmed and the bank would have been obliged to close up. Senator St. John asked if the bank could not bave required sixty days’ notice trom depositors before tue withdrawal of their deposits. Ar. Best Said that was the rule, and that it had often been en- | forced since 1873. ‘here would be no very sudden closing up in case no dividend bud been declared; months’ delay could have been obtained. Tue of the commijtee, consisting of Mossrs, Floyd, Gregory and Tappan, showed a deficiency ot $131,505 7 These figures had boen substituted for 050 31, which had been crossed ou. The diffore was $73,574 60. Mr. Best explamed that the lauer amount was for interest aue depositors on June 30, which had been countea as principal after that date, This did not seem to be known tothe committee and at first they made the mhistake of adding interest again where it bad béen already added to the principal, Mr. Chapman said be proposed to show a further mistake of $112,000. The | Juries of officers and othor expenses ol the next exumimed, In 1572 these were $34,500; when Mr, Elis became Superintendent, $23,900; in 18 $1,760 of which was Jar huge: ton, and in 1874 the expenses were $18,000. Mr. Chap- man then endeavored to show that there bad been a continual reduction of expenses on account of the sug- gestions of bis client, the Bank Superintendent, sen- ator St Jobn asked If there had not also been a con. tinual reduction in the bank’s receipts, implying that this would also account for the decrease in ex- penses, Mr. Best replicd that such was the case, In October, 1875, the depositors began to draw out their money ranlaly, Up to the time of Mr, Best's becoming receiver they had drawn out $1,000,000, Tho amouns of deposits in 1873 was $2,031,348 95, 19 7: 283; in 1875, $2,436,520 85, In the mecting of November 9, 1874, the communication irom Mir. Ellis was read, It was moved that a commitico be appointed to confer with the Superintendent, Messrs, loyd and Grogory voted against i, At the meeting of November 20 the committee recommended coim- pliance with the suxgestions of the Bank Superimien- dent, F.oyd and Gregory voted against accepting the report. “Then,” said Mr, Chapman, “they were op- posed to committee to confer with the Superinten- dent, and voted against adopting bis suggestions.” In'1874 Mr. Gregory reported that the value of the North and South Carolina bonds heid by the bank was | $60,000, The valuation set upon them by the Bavk | Superintendent was $60,720, The Tennessee bonds, which were put down in the Superintendent's report at 5844, alterward sold at 65, Rochester bonds, which sold at par in October, in January, 1875, were selling at 10534. AYTER TIE RECKSS. A short recess was taken at one o'clock. After the recess Mr. Gregory was recalled and submited to a rigid crogs-examination by Mr. Chapman. Wituess Was On @cominitice appointed in 1874 to see whether the expenses of the bank should be reduced, but had no anthority to examine the condition of the bank; they did examine the bank and found the deficiency above stated. The mistake of $73,000 was here yono over again and the rectified affidavit ofered in ovi- dence. A further item of $102,000 cash was cinimed to have been omitted from Mr. Gregory’s complaint, ‘This Mr. Gregory could not point out in bis affidavit, ‘There was also an item of $10,000 of the Goulard estavo which had not been carried out Mr. George W.
