THE KINGSTON HOMICIDE.

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.

The Bntlaud Hcra'd brines us the details of
the tiilaifu murder, in bhrewebury, Vt., on
Saturday eveniuu, already briefly reported by

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

Halcb and butterfly shook hands, the latter re

he was armed, unless be quitted the field. Oil

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

FROM WASHINGTON TO-DAY.

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.
I have the hooor to bs, very respectfully,
your oueaiuut servant,

EPISCOPAL CON VENTION.
Cnrlat Church (RaadlBfr) Coaiaeratlom
DlTlalom of th U.ooaia, Kte.
Special Derpattth to The Evening lei graph.
Heading, Aug. 6. 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

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.

8t. Louia, August 6. The Democratic Con
vention met yesterday, effected a permanent
organization, and adjourned. The John P.
Phelps men were beateu by this. The probability
is, if Colinan does not receive the nomination
there will some third man be put iu to defeat
Phelps. His Provost Marshal record under
Lincoln is objectionable. Tbe Democrats say
they will give him but falut support if nomi
nated. One hundred more delegates to the
Democratic Convention arrived this morulntr on
the Rob Roy. They were sand-barred. The
majority are acainst Phelp.
General (Jrant was serenaded last night. There
was a loug torchlight procession, although no
public notice was given.
Daniel Iiabener, who killed Policeman Kinner,
was iound utility of manslaughter and sentenced

Bjiecial Despatch to Tlie Evening Telegraph.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 6. 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. Tbe decision hts occasioned a good
deal of feeling and not a little belligerent talk
from the coercionists. Nothing of consequence
was done in the henate.
It Is understood that the House Military Com
mittee will report a bill in a day or two giviu
the governor full authority to call out all the
force that may be necessary for the enforcement
of the lawi and the protection, of citUcus,
FROM JAPAN.
Changes In tho Political Aspact Tho
Stotsnaahl Family Again In Povrsr
Mikado n Prisoner.
Yokohama, Japan, July 4, via San Francisco,
August 6, 1868. 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. It has rained
incessantly all the last month aud the crops are
considerably damaged, consequently rice aud
Hour command hierti prices. Leon Roches, late
French Miuister, left ou the 23d ult.

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,"

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
