Tate Btoty CoBeeiasj Dco Andrews Witts Aaethir MisrrJer. Tbc Klnpston correspondent of the Sew York Zritmne, on August 4, writei an ftllows- "It he who rent Thk Philadelphia Telb cnrn a special deppatch whicd atd 'that thl9 nciubborhood hanow auother sensation over What is alleged, and ver gcueially believed, to be anoiher crime of a murderous character committed lj the same highly respected Deacon,' and then went on to state that it was believed that he had caused the death of a mill operative whoie skeleton bad bicn Iound based his reputation on the exclusive lacta thus for warded to that sheet, then his future chances ol success are decidedly proolematical, aud he had better h ave the field to uieu of lc9s Bini-atirm talent, and with a vein of practicality wh:co leads them to examine a story to ascer tain whether it has a semblance of truth before they cause Its publication. This corieepoudout, who seems less trustworthy than the most 'un reliable contraband' that figured In the war ot the Rebellion, clostd his dei-patch in these ytor. Is: 'Whether or not anything tnni?iblo will c me outcf this skeleton discovery will be dis covered at the trial in October; but it will cer tainly add preatly to the lmerest of this remirk nble cae, and probably lead many to believe that Andrews Is rei.Hy guilty of double murder.' It seems that the gentlemen havlnrr charge of the case did not deem tt necessary to wait till October to see it any tiling 'tangible would come on ,' but they immediately investigated the mat ter to find, as everybody expected, that the skele ton story, so far as it related to Deacon Andrews, was wholly without foundation. True, a skele ton wa9 found, but it required a very long ttretchof the imagination to cover it with the mufcies and adipose mailer of a mill operative of Deucon Andrews' time, and it Is generally believed 10 be that of an old man who disap peared many years ago luBt how his earthly career was terminated not being known. Tnere is no evidence Unit he was foully dealt with, and not the most remote suspicion can be at tached .to the Deacon. aud that he had anything to do with this disappearance is simply pre posterous. Thore are weak-minded gossips and starving penuy-a-linerg enuueh to iuvest the bones of a cat with all tbc mystery of a first class homicide, if such remains of a tabby were found iu this vicinity at the present time; but the prosecutors allege only one murder, thut of Mr. Holmes, with which they are content. There are a few new tacts concerning Deacon Andrews, which are ot general interest, and it may be well to here correct an error which oc curred in the account of the tragedy furnished several weeks since by tte writer. It was btated that small bunches of the hair of Deacon Andrews were found in the pockets and on the buttons of the clothing of 11 r. llo lines. The hulr was from the head of the murdered man, aLd not from that of the accused; aud it will be semi at once that it is an important point, as the Ueucon iu bis contention stated that he hit Mr. Holmes with a stone, and knew nothing more until he iound himself washing h s hands in the pond or brook. He b ars his confinement with great fortitude, has a cood appetite, and is in good healtn. It is well known tuat his mother aud grandmoihcr were insane, and the report that he tried to feign insanity was correct. He gave people to understand that he had "an upper chamber to let;" but those in charge, who were watching for such tbiuas, threw out pretty broad hints coucetning a dunreou aud closer confinement, and he regained the full posse8lon of his senses in a remarkably short spuoe of time. His invalid wile is in about the same state of health as was remarked at the time of the tragpdy, and bears her double aflliclioH with the resignation of a true Christian. She Is supported and cheered by kind friends, but it the trial culminates In a death sentence, as every body expects it will, the shook will bo probably more than her weak physical organization can bear with safety, and her friends tear the result. If the Dpaxon does not rel nquith his claim to the property of Mr. Holme?, the will made in his favr by the lauor will be untestfld by the relatives of the mur dered man, but the result ot the trial will have an important bearing upon this part of the case. Charles T. Davis. .sq., has been secured as counsel for the aecuced, aud the services ot a competent lawyer were miicb needed to give the lieacon a bbadow of a chance. in the forthcom ing trial. Mr. Davis is busily huntiug up testi mony for his client. But his is considered a hopeless case. The case will be called up at the opening of the term of the court at Ply mouth in October, when a dav will be assigned lor the coin mencernent of the trial. TRAGEDY. Terrible Shooting Affray 1 tourjr, Vl. Shnwi The Bntlaud Hcra'd brines us the details of the tiilaifu murder, in bhrewebury, Vt., on Saturday eveniuu, already briefly reported by Ulegrapn. xne uu.iuua journal bas: For many years a feud ha9 existed between the I'lumley aud Batch families, nuneroualaw euits crowing out of the same, and a suit beint; pending between them In the Holland County Court. A lew days ago two horses, owned by Isaac! H. Baleh, broke into a field of corn owned by Ziba I'luui'ey, ooing considerable damage, and as a cousequeuce the animals were im pounded. DiHlntcrested persons were appointed to a;. praise the daniaues, which they were en gimed in doing on Saturday afternoon, in com pany with lieorge Butteifly, a son-in-law of Plutuley, when tney were ap proached by Balch and John Oilman and his son. John Oilman, Jr. Some words fallowed between Balch aud the Unmans on one side and buiti itly on the other, as to the meiits of the question un ter appraisal, wnicu they seemed to settle, and all sturted to war J the read, distant abot't thuty rod", ui'anug which Halcb and butterfly shook hands, the latter re marking that he was "willing to let by-gones In by-gones," nnd that he would "stand tho drinks tor me crowd." With this explanation Butter fly started tor the house of Lis fath'ru i-Uw to et a pint ot rum with which to keep good his remise. He was absent, however, aoout an our, during which the appraiser had departed, b .1 voting (j'ln'an ieniamt-d in the field within n tew feet of the road, his father and illicit standing in the highav. At the expiration ot the time mcn'ioued Buttertlv returned, In com pany With Horace K. Pluuiiey, Frederick l'luiuley, and Ziba, their father. Horace Imme diately apirom iRO Uiliunij, pointing a loaded Fhotgun at bim, and ordered bun out of the field, with whuh request Oilman expressed his Willingness to comply, but the gun beiug iu what he evideutly regarded too close proximity to him, he seized hold of the barrel ot the Sane an i attempted unsuccessfully to wrench it from the ha'.ds of i'lumley. At thU juncture, Frede r c PI' m'ey apprca -bt d Oilman, aud threat ened to stab him with a pilcl.tork, with which he was armed, unless be quitted the field. Oil man turned to ward olf the blow ot the fork, and in doing so loosed bis hold on the sliot gun In the bandj of Horace, when the latter deliberately fired upon him, tho ( barge tf etiot tuking etlect in the region of the heart. Two workmen in the employ of Balch, named Winn and Quartier, then came up, and cross-tiring ensued, during which several vol leys were di charKed, resulting In inflicting a eevcre wound in the left leg of John Oilman, br., and a tlet-h wound in the ngbi leg, as well as a scalp wound on the person of Horace K. I'lumley, who tired the first shot. A Coroner's jury was organized on Saturday eveulng, and the result was a verdict "that the deceased, John Oilman, Jr., came to his death from tho tflt ctsol a c harge of shot, discharged Irotu a weapon in the hanlsfaf a person to the jury niiknowu." This verdict was rendered that .Jlcruce I'lumley may receivo the benefit of doubts in the case, as he claims thut he ac edin self-detent, or that the discharge of the weapon was accidental. Young Oilman wasaiesi lent ot Little Falls, K. Y., and was but temporarily at fcbrewFbury, to help his lather through hay In? and harvesting. lie was about twenty-two years of age. DISASTER. Tsrrthvl Explosion la Alexandria, Va. faevasi Meat Seriously lajured. The Washington Kxprett of last evening says; About 6 o'clock yesterday evening, the steam engine Augusta, belonging to the local trains between Alexandria and this city, ex ploded her boiler while waitlnc for the freight tiain at the corner of Duke aud Henry sireen, the steam standing at one hun iroi and thirty pounds, and tour gauges of water. The engine was blown to atoms, portions ot it beinir carried ceveial squares In every d reciioti. A section of the boiler was blown through the house of P. Keir gan, Esq., In the vicinity. cat ryingawaythe corLer ot it, cracking and sh altering the waite and windows very badly. P. O'Neill's restau rant on the opposite corner, was demolished in the rear portion, but t rtunately the inmates sustained no injury, although their peril was great. A child's carriage standing near the enslue, with a child in It, was crushed to pieces, but the child providentially escaped with very slight ii. juries, and was reecued by Dr. Suowden, of the Uazete entirely unconscious of the danaer it hail escaped. Had lb'' explosion takeu place ten minutes later the los of life would have been iriuhtiul, as the engine would have been attached to the train containing the tbroiieu Southern paeneers nor'hward. Only six per sons were seriously injured John Field, nciro, supposed mortally, his wound being a bad frac ture of the skull; Charles Joyce, engineer, si ghtly in the forehead and both thiabs: William O. Jasper, a boy fourteen years of aue, a right arm broken; John lioby, fireman, in the foie head and leg, and a negro girl and woman scalded by the escaping steam. For a time the excitement and alarm wa9 very great, but when it was ascertained that the accidents were so few and slight the tumult abated. and the crowd drawn to the spot by the occurrence leit for their homes and places of business. THE SEA BIRD. Daiccmt of a Dlvar aad ttaa Dltcovarjr of tbe Hull. The Chicago Republican of August 4 says: Keany tour monihs auo, In the cold, gray dawn of a pitiless April morolne, the smoulder ing, blackened hull of that which a few hours before had been a staunch steamer drifted a helpless wreck upon the icy waters of Lake Mi bigan, and soon sai.k forever into its chilling embrace. Almost one hundred souls went out that m or nine to meet their Creator. and of the poor spirit-deserted tenements of ciay ion noaung upon tne suriace, or sinking into the deep dark depths of the lake, only one has as yet been recovered. Until within a tew days, no steps have been taken towards ex amining the fate of theWl-fated Sea Bird. Last tabbath morning the propeller R.J. Truerdell, belonging to the Goodrich line. steamed from this city to the closing scenes of that feartul disaster, and on arriving there. soundings were nade lor some siuns ot the sunken boat. It was found lying iu the same spot where it has lain since it went down, about three-fourths of a mile from snore, and some tour miles ic is side ot waukecan. An expert diver had been taken on board the xrnesdell, and, having made the neces-ary ar rangements, he was lowered to the wreck. He had been below but a lew moments when he made siens to have a stout line let down to bim, and this being done, one eud of it was made fast to the iron safe of the Sea Bird, which was soon lauded ou the deck of the Truesdell. Tho diver returning, reported the sunken vessel to be lying partially on her side, broken in twain about midBhips, aud that alter a careful search he had been uuable to find any bodies. The safe was broken open, and dis covered to be entirely empty, the terrible heat of the burning boat having entirely consumed all the papers, includtug the passeneer list, stored in it, and thus 'destroying every clue a to the exact number who perished. The sate itself is nothing but a stout irou bx, intended to be burglar-proof, but not made to stand extreme beat. It Is badly rusted aud batt red, and now lies just outside the office ot the Good rich line, near Rush su-eet bridge. Having finhhed tbe examination of the safe. the diver was let down for tbe second time and attached the line to tbe anchor of tbe Sea Bird, which was also hauled on board the propeller. Further investigation was brought to a close by the rising of a high wind, and the Truesdt.ll returned to this city. There is a probability that the seaich will be continued at some future day, though the certainty of not being able to discover anything additional concerning tbe number and names of the lost will tend some what to deter further inquiry. There can be no stores of value leit upon her, and as the bodies ot those passengers that were carried down with the boat have all been washed away, there is nine leu upon tne sunken bulk ot the ill fated Sea Bird to tempt continued investigation. THE MORNING STAR. Kaappearaaea of tba Suakia Btaamar. The Detroit Advertiser of August i says: Before the close of tbe present week ic is liiehly piobable the hull of the ill-fated steamer Morning Star, which wa la'ely sunk by collision with the burg ue Corllandt, will have been raised from her bed in the bottom of Lake Erie, and placed in Campbell, Owen & Co. 'a dry dock. In this city, where she Is to be repaired. On Friday last her bows were raised entirely out of the water, so as to exo se a portion or the engine room, and the hull was dragged by tne North west a distance of twenty or thirty teet. with the hope that the motion might cause tbe stem part to come to the sur'aee. It did not, how ever; the steamer's hull remained in the mad, and the fact necessitated the employment of additional buoys to raise her entirely. The appearance of the wreck as much of it as can be seen is that of great destruction, and the tuct of her going down so soon after the collision is now easily accounted tor. Her stem, including tbe forefoot, dend-wood, plai.ks and timbers, tor a distance of twenty or twenty five feet, is entirely torn a way, leaving a tre mendous hole, thronirh which the wa er must have pouied with fearful velocity. It Is possible, however, that the etcutuer nicy have striicc heavily on her nose when she reached the bottom, widen would aid materially in displac ing her timbers. .Her upucr works are pretty gf neriilly smashed up, but have been held to the main part of the ship by the rudder chains. The air in tbe cabin becoming compressed as the steamer went down, seems to have bad much to do with breaking them up, and it is possible the hull may have been similarly atTccted When she is fully raised, however, this will be fully detenniued. The t-teamer's engine does not appear to have been injured much. Hr boilers are badly damaged. The hot pla'es hav tne come suddenly in contact with tbe cold water, contracted greatly, aud aided by th Iran i use pressure ot the water, were den'el inwardly and broken in aeveril places. This discovery wus ma le by an attempt to pump air into tlieui to exclude the water and make them aid In buoying up the hull. What onr Republican friends in Maine can do In the pending campaign is apparent from what they have done iu tbe past.

Appaal for Protactlo from Loulalaaa. tftiecial Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington. Aug. C. The following lettci, accompanying the joint resolution of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Louisiana requesting the President of tbe United States to furnish such troops as may be necessary to secure peace and good order iu that State, and to protect peaceable citizens against violence, has been laid before the Presi dent. It is understood that before takiug any action, the President will lay the matter before the Cabinet at the firet full meeting that can be bad. State op Louisiana, Executive Depaetment, New Orleans, Aim. 1, 1808. lo His Excellency Andrew Jonuson, President of the United States Sir: I have the honor to forward you by Licuienaut-Colnnel John F. Dean, of my stud', tbe joint resolution adopted by the General Ast-embly ot this State, on the 1st day ot Au gust, 1808. I also inclose with it a petition from a number of oiost promir ent aud influential citizens of North Louisiana, setting forth tne horrible out rauetbat aic daily being perpetrated in that portion of tbe State, togeiher with a letter from the Hn George W. Hudspeth, Attorney for the Kicbth Judicial District, showiug the state of atluirs that exists there. Alio I send other letters aud oapers, showing clearly that in many sections there exists no protection tor the citi zens in Courts, and that men are thot down in the roads, in their homes, and elsewhere with out any quesMons being asked or steps taken to bring the ofienders to justice. The Judge ot the Twelfth Judicial District refuses to go to the Parish of Franklin, unless a force is sent with htm to protect nim from violence, and be is not obnoxious on personal or political grounds, for in politics he was opposed to the new Constitution, and he is a life long citizen ot the State. TUe snerm ot the I'arUh confessiiiK his inability to uiitke any arrests or discharge the dune of his office on account of tie condition ot atlatrs there. Prominent Dnion men in the Parish Caddo write me that their homes arc beset by desper adoes, ana mat lueir lives ana properly nave thus fat been saved from destructiou only by armed men who volunteer to gu-trd them. As you will see by the letter of Mr. Hudspeth, District Attorney for the Eiehih District, men, women, and children have recently been mur dered in the Pariah St. Landry by bands ot armed men, who remain thus tar unpunished and unmolested. The enclo.-ed newspaper, the Democratic Jour nal nublished in Madi-on Parisb. shows clearly tbe condition ot attaint there in corroboration of tbe statements contained in tne petition of Judge Crawiord, Judge w.yiey, and other gen tie men of North Louisiana. From ihe verv bestinformation. Mr. President. I have uo douot that one hundred nnd hity men have been murdered in Louisiaua in the last month and a halt. Startling as this statement Is, letters of the most reliable character tully confirm it. Tnere seems to be a settled determination on the part of those men who adhered to the Re bellion to either kill or drive away Union white men and leading colored men, so as to Do able to territy the masses ot tho colored population into voting as they shall dictate, Tuere Is a sect organizing ibroiigtiout the State as tbe "li, W. C" the full details of which, the questions, oaths, etc., Colonel Deane will explain to vou. It is lounued for the purpose of placing and keeping the colored peiple iu a condition ol inferiority, and with a view to this end it contemplates and designs the precipita tion of a conflict between the two races. Miny prominent citizens ot the State are leaders in It. Members are sworn on the most binding oathi to carry out the purposes of the organization at all costs, and hazards, and sacridces, and by measures no matter how despera'e that their leaders may adopt. It has now transoired that the mob which threatened the Legislature sc me weeks since were only preveuted troro. enacting it on the 30ih of July, I860, by the pre sence ot United H ates troops. It was a deliberate determination of this secret organization to assassinate the Lieu'enant-Uov ernor and Speaker ot the House ot Representa tives, lor haviuer decided questions preliminary to the organization of the (ienTal Ascernilv. in a manner obnoxious to them. There are military organizations on foot in tnis city under the auspices of this secret organization. They drill openly in our streets at night, or iu halls easily to De seen. In short. I fully believe that there is medl taled a bloody revolution. Certaiuly the trult of which would be a long-coutiuued, if not hopeless coniusion, ami oisasier aud ruin to tbe btate. The presence or tne united states troops. in my judgment, is necessary to prevent this. The oreaui.ation of militia is of very question able expeoieucy, inasmuch as it will be, under the present excited s.ate of mind, one political party armed to tne support oi tne uovernment s gainst anotner. i wisu to avert tnis. it nossible. and respectfully req'iesl ;our Excellency to put two regiments of cavalry, a regiment of lutauiry, together with a battery ot artillery, uuder the command ot some com petent ollicer, with orders to co-operate with me in repretsing disorder aud violence, arresting criminals, and protecting the otlicer of the law in trying them; the breaking up of all secret politcal organizations, and a few exumples ot coudiern punishment of ofienders will secure peace iu the State, as soon as the great excitement attending tne present political carorisiun is over.

In our report of the Convo. cation here yesterday we were compelled to be veTy brief. The programme of the consecration of Christ Church was as follows: Rev. J.' P. Lundy, rector of the Parish, re id the request to consecrate; the Rev. J. M. Childs, the Bishop's Secretary, read the sentence of consecration; morning prayer was said to the lessons by Rev. J. 8. Oetz, of llahanoy City; lessons were read by Rev. A. Wadleigh, of Wil llamf poit; Nlcene Creed to the Litany by Rev. Mr. Shinn, of Lock Haven; Litany recited by Rev. Mr. Coleman, of Mauch Chunk. Tbe Bishop was assisted in the administration ot the Holy Communion by the Rev. Messrs. Llj;htner. Wadleigh, and Brush. The sermon by the Bishop was one of his most eloquent and entirely successful efforts. Immediately after the close of Divine service the Clettry and Lay Deputies present, convened in the Session ttoora, in tun rear oi me cuurcn, and oraanized as a convention, with Rt. Rev. Bi-hop Stevens in tbc cnalr. The suntect Ot tne division oi tne uiocese was then taken up. Alter a brief consideration of the Question, tho convention adjourned until 3 o'clock in the aiternowu. A most barmouious and pleasant interchange of views an t sentiments then took place. The several Clergy and Lay Deputies present made addresses. The sentiment of those present seemed to be almost unanimous as to the dcsirablnesi and practicubilHy of the division ol the diocse on tbe line adoptel by the klast annual Convention, held in the city oi rn.ianeipnia. itiis proposes to set off the fourteen eastern counties into a new diocese. Various measures to secure the success of the division wt re suggested, but the returns from the parishes interested are far from favorable. It is believed, however, lhat if the voice of the Church could be beard, and its sense fully gath ered, the result would be very different. The Bisboo was requestea to give nts judg ment in reference to the question, when he re sponded in an address ot great clearness and sweetness. He reearded the division of the dio cese by the fourteen county line as judicious and destrame. ine Drain wort ot tne uiocesan Is too much lor any one man, and it pressure upon bim had well nigh oost him his lite, and even now he is enabled to pursue his duties only by the most careful prudeuce. As vou have tbe territory, said the bishop, the parishes, the clergy, the communicants, the wealth, I do nope you win iorin tnis new dio cese. I cannot believe you are unable to sup port it. And although there now loom up some great oostacies, once commuted to aivision you would develop among yourselves an amount of energy which would carry succss, and in five years hence you would bless God that you had agreed to the divMon of this great dioceso. From these and other considerations he elo quently gave it as his judgment that the pro posed division is nieniy proper ana mil oi pro mise for the future of the Church. If the whole Church could have heard his address, we tbink toere could be but one opinion about division. Ihe following was tuen adopted. Xetolved, I. Thai thli meeting recommend the appointment of kaonmlllM of .sren, oonnt-llns ol four clergy men and three laymen, by Us chairman, to outer with the clergy ant vestrlea ol the prlsha wltbin tbe limits of the proposed new Diocese, either by circular or personal visitation, upon the subject ot dlvls on. 2. That the said committee be directed to prepare statistic of the strength ot the propaeud uew Dio cese, Iu clergy, parishes, cjniraunlcanu. and contrl butlnna. and to compare the same with tboieof other Dlocses. 3. That they fcrtaln what pledges ot money can be secured towards the support ol the Kpmcooite la and beyond the boai.ds ol the proposed new diocese. 4. That tbey communicate with the B tardol Mis sions, asking to what ex 'ent and tor what length of tin e Uiey would be wUUnf to undertake tbe suip3rt ot the missionaries now employed In the counties to be set oil'. 6. 1 bat they be authorized when these fa its and statistics shall have been learned to request the VFstrles and clergy ti take aclon upon the subjeot of division aud notify tbe Bis' op of the resoit. This result having been reached and this ac tion bad with perfect unanimity, the Convention adjourned sine die at 6 o'clock P. M. FROM BALTIMORE. "Special Despatch lo The Evening Telegraph.

Tho question as to whether the subject of enfranchising the Rebels should be taken up at this called session was discussed in the House during the entire day yesterday. At its close resolution was adopted by the decisive vote of 61 to 13, de claring that It wis not expedieut to take up the question.

The United 8tates store ship Onward arrived at San Francisco from Yoko hama with dates to the 4th of July. Since last advices the political condition of Japan has changed materially. The Southern confederation has been defeated whenever they came in conflict with StoUbashi' friends. Ycddo and Yokohama are again under the control of the Tokugowa f?totsbnshl family. The Mikado has been con veyed to Kioto. Eanganokami, one of the principal supporteis of the late Tycoon, is marching to Kioto with a large force. Stotsbashl has been requested to resume the Tycouate but has refused. The office was then offered to Kome.aboro, a boy six years old, and one of the three branches ot tho Tokugowa family, but his father refused the honor, saying that he denied the authorty of the Mikado to apooiut the Tycoon. Toe MiKiido Is now a prisoner at Kioto aud is in charge ot the Mia, high priest. The probabili ties are that in less than two davs Stotsbashl will have it all his own way.

FROM CINCINNATI. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraphs Burning off Four Hirer Steamers Lou, Cincinnati, Aug. C About 2 o'clock this morning a fire broke oat at the stern of the steamer Delaware, moored at the Eureka Dry Docks, and spreading rapidly over the whole boat, communicated to the steamer Potomac, lying at her Fide. The two boats were soon wrapped in flames, against which no effective opposition could be brought to bear by the few people who were on the shore. A gang of men, thinking to save the Potomac, boarded her, and cut her loose. She was unmanageable, however, and in a few minutes' time drifted down to the steamers Ezra Porter aud the Pine Grove, and in a short time they, too, were enveloped In flames. An alarm was quickly sounded, but so much time was consumed iu getting the engines aud the hose in operation that when work was com mecced there wag no prospect of saving auy of the burning boats. Tne policemen and the men on shore gave their attention to the steamers that were lyine near, and by their exertions the Bostona, the Westmoreland, the Wild Duck, and several other smaller cratts were out from their moorings, floated down the river, and were out of dauger. The firemen did all in their power to save the four boats, but their efforts were unavailing. The Potomac, tho Delaware, the Ezra Pastor, the Pine Grove, and several barges w ere burned to the water's edge. Loss estimated at $160,000. Northern Democratic letters have evidently been received iu the office of the Richmond Examiner. The issue of last Saturday reads the ex-Confederate officers a severe lecture for their late speeches, and says their only effect will bo to supply their enemies at the North with excel lent ammunition. FINANCIAL ITEMS. The New York Trloune ot this morning thus speaks of yesterday's money market: ''Gold continues rampant on tbe fears of timid people who rear the election of repudlators, and con tinue to be eager buyers at the market advance. Tbe opening price was 147M, with sale at 14s', 147 i, 14DX, closing at 14ii,'. There undoubtedly remains a laige balance due oy merchants on the other side which must be paid; but the pr.nclpal element in tue advance is the dib trust of the parly who are slrlvluit lor power to repudiate the debt made for the purpose ol putting down tue Rebellion caused solely and en tirely by their act and plenty uf people are Invest ing In gold from fears of the acta of Mr. Pendleton, Mr. Wade Hampton, and other 'vigorous patriots,' wbo;love neither tbe debs, nor the makers thereof, aud whose memories ate not so treacherous as some ot the repiidlalurs here who seem to have forgotten why or how the public debt was made. Ninety days from now all talk of repudiation will Vanish like a dream, on the election ol a President cjmmitied to a policy of honest payment of all tbe deui,; and the party bo contracted it will see that It Is paid in full as made, and will keep faith with the people at the people did with the Ouverument when every paper In the land rang dally the changes for more men and money to put down the KeDelilon and tbe subscribers to tbe loans were heid s only sec ond lo tbe men wbo marched to the battle-Bels, A hundred battle-fields aud bund re Is of thousands ot desolated bomes, who have parted with their best and bravest forever, attest bow well the first demand wti neu The second part of the call Is represented by tbe debt which may be buruensome, out in hoaor ft should be met, as the other debt was met, without tlluchltig an" to tbe uttermost. The preseut specula tion Is assisted by all the elements that advanced the ptlce during the war, and the amount controlled by the ring Is very heavy. The clearings at the Gold Exchange liauk were 1 104 eu6,ooo, aud tbe balance, ti.Qtv.Vl 17. Government bonds opened firm, with an Improvement In all cIossks, wlih a good demand lor new '65s, 67. aud 'Otis. The speculative maula la regard to lo-4us has advanced these bonds to 1U9-,, and bolOers of them should Immediately exchange them for '67s or 'Uss. as the prolit is now Mperout. on the exchange, aud 8 20s of '87 and ' are as much gold bonds as the lu-404, by tbe decision of the Secre tary of the Treasury, who deUnes the payment of principal and interest la coin, wltaout further ac.lou of Congress." The New York Herald baa the following: "The railway share market opened weak, but after noon It became strong, and Krle. whlou sold at ofl at tbe opening advanced to Si before tbe close. Tne street was as much surprise'! by this reaction as by the downward turn In urie on MOuday aud Tuesday, ' and It Is completely befogged as to tue tulluence. at work. Rumor says that a uew parly began to buy the stock this morning and that thli entirely reversed the programme of tbe party which engineered the decline, and hence the sudden upward mevement Imitvad of the confidently predicted further decline to mum lower flKurei. whether Erie will advance or decline from lis present polut Is ULcerlaln, for it depends entirely upon clique manipulation, aud out siders will tberelore do well to leave It severely alone. To operate In such a st ick Is to play against loaded dice aud denlirnlug swindlers, and the man wbo either buys or sells K.-le might without any more rick slake bis money at the taro table. The whole market Improved In tone sympathetically; but the warning which Jrle has afforded should not be lost upon tbe holders of Hiietulailve atocks In general, and the outside public will do well to leave Wall street to the cliques. Money continues easy, and loans are made at three per cent, on Uuvernments and four on mixed colisttrals, while In discounts there la uo change to note," FINANCE AND C03IMERCE. OmO OF THE KVKMINQ TKI.KaBAPH,! Thursday, August 168. J There is no falling oil in the supply of money and no change in the rates. There are laree sums seeking investment on call at 45 per cent. There is, with few exceptions, a firmer tone in the markets, especially lor imported commodi ties, based on tbe upward movement In gold, though all efforts to enhance prices meet with considerable resistance. In fact, the mutations of gold constitute the most serious element in the disturbance of values at present. Government and titate loans were stronger, with more inquiry. City loans were firm at 1034103 for the new, and ooj for the old Issue.
