A CALIFORNIA SHIP.
The Troubles of a C'nptnin with an Vntutored
Crew.
The practice of shipping-masters, aided and
abetted by the sailor boarding-house keepers of
this port, of palming off the Veriest truuli upon
shipmasters for able seamen, has become a
serious evil. The master of a well-known ship,
recently arrived at New York from this port,
writes to a friend in this city, and we make the
' following extract from this lottcr, us illustrating
the point:
'When I sailed, I numbered twelve (before the
mnst). After I got through with the tug and at
tempted to gut sail on the ship, I found that
three of my number did not know where the
spanker was, and had to inform them tha
it was nvft on that 'middle pole,' bu
somewhat further nft. After getting off
the const things progressed finite favorably
on board until the day I crosed the
equator. During the afternoon of that day a'
Mexican (one of the above three) dellbcrntely
ran his knife into the mute's side, not quite kill
ing him, but utmost doing so, and rendering him
unlit for duty for about two months. The
fellow, after performing this act. jumped over
board and was lost, thereby taking oue of our
already too small number. Another of the three
was afflicted about three times a week by having
fits, which, as you can readily underntand, ren
dered his services worthless. I can assure you
that a master's comfort is small who takes a ship
as heavy as this one around Cape Horn and on
the American coast in mid-winter with only ten
hands and no mate. But 'all's well that ends
well.' As I succeeded in getting my ship home
in fair time (114 days') safely, I suppose It Is idle
to complain, or speculate about what might have
been. Since getting homo I have been quite
sick. The primary cause was a cold, although,
if the truth was told, I presume my system was
much prostrated with overwork, care and
unxicty." San Francisco Bulletin.
Greenbarks (.round Up.
A few days ago, when one of the employes of
Clark & Co.'s paper mill, near the aqueduct,
was engaged in running through the "rag
picker" a lot of old clothing, his uttention wa
attracted to some bits of greenish paper which
had gone through the machine. On closer In
spection they proved to be scraps of greenbacks,
which had been clipped into pieces by the
knives in the "picker 1" The man found a hat
full of those old scraps, and instead of gathering
them up carefully, and devoting u portion of
his valuable time in fitting the ecraps together,
he picked up a portion of the valuable debris,
and gave them to friends as evidences of a
curious discovery he had made of a fortune
which had been run through a mill! The
Hcraps are of bills of the denominations of $5,
10, 420, (50, and $100, and an cxtimato made
from the quantity of pieces found indicates that
not less than $3000 was in the package which
was ground up in the "rag-picker." In a small
bunch of the debris taken up without regard to
the contents, there were twenty pieces with 100
on them. Jnow mat it is too lute to eltect any
thing of conseuuenco in tho matter, we learn
that the finder of those greenback scraps intends
to try and make a collection of them and fit the
pieces together. Tho money, however, has
beeu "funded," and is out of circulation. The
theory of the money getting into the picker, is
that the coat which contained the money was
one of a lot of soldiers' blouses which were col
lected at different points, and that the money
was sewed in the breast of a blouse which be
longed to an officer who had died in a hospital,
ana the secret of tho greenbacks died with
blm. Doubtless the poor fellow'i family of teu
-wondered what became of his money, aud the
nir-iipker has solved the mystery; but, unfortu

From Our Own Correspondent.
! Nsw Tors, April Sfl, 119.
The long-Impending "exposure" that has been
hanging ever the head of the late managing clitor of
the Tribune has come at last In the shape of a four
column article In the Sun. For many weeks it has
been known to men conversant with newspaper mat
ters that something of the kind was brewing, al
though the general populace were taken by surprint.
Tht protege of Forney.the predecessor of "Hans Brelt
niann" (who sails for Europe on Hatnn'.ay), the gradu
ate of the Free, and the hitherto successful mana
ger of three papers (not two), "all dally," is accused of
having accepted between fifteen thousand and eigh
teen thousand dollars from different parties, for
nsiiig bl Influence In their behalf, ai
managing editor ' of the Tribune, and
of furnishing to the Philadelphia Morninj Post, which
does not belong to the Associated Press, the cable
news which does tclong to that association. Tho
entire exposition made its appearance in yesterday's
Sun. That something of the kind was to -appear, I
Itnew some days ago, bnt the regard I always enter
tained for the subject of It prevented my adverting
to.lt, even distantly; Horace Greeley himself was
completely nonplussed.' He blew his noso penslve'y
on the tall or his white coat for he does wear a
white coat in his sanctum and his moon-like face
settled Into an expression of Imbecile astonishment
The old man loved the young one. He used to "purr"
around the youth as the yotrth himself affectionately
expressed lt,and I have no doubt the mauaging editor
knew how to make him purr, for he possesses infinite
tact, and Is perfect master of the smaller graces which
take. Greeley mourned in spirit, ay, and In flesh
too, for the tears almost fell from his eyes, and the
scene was David lamenting for Absalom. He' would
have doue anything, have given anything, to sup
press the infernal gossip. It is said that he offered
the San Ave thonsand dollars if ft would only keep
quiet. But there were too many small revenges to
be gratified, which were worth ,far more than so
pill try a sum, badly in need of money as the Sun Is.
Inside the office of that newspaper were men
who had been dismissed from the
Tribune, who were ready to move heaven
and earth rather than that damnatory article should
not be published. The whole thing is characteristic
of New York Journalism a mesh of petty rivalries,
where disappointed ambition is always directing its
fangs upon others, and Anally hurrying them in
Itself.
The Investigation into the Mumler cane was con
tinued yesterday, and Is also to be continued this
morning. Mumler himself Is an unctuous-looking
lout, with plenty of greasy dark hair and fat eyes.
He belongs to the heavy order of Spiritualists, or
which there are two kinds the heavy and the fra
gile. The Tombs Police Court is filled every other
day with picturesque specimens of these two varie
ties, to which the epithets lymphatic and sanguine
might with propriety be applied. TJp to yesterday
Mumler seemed to be a good deal ahead or Tooker;
but yesterday Tooker commenced to pick up, and a
variety of witnesses contributed much damaging
evidence against the phantom photographer. A Mr.
Hull, a member or the photographic section
or. the American Institute, swore that he was
acquainted with processes by which phantom effects
could be produced mechanically. One of these Is by
placing a positive picture on glass, the image of
which could be thrown on the sensitive plate at the
same time the Image, of the sitter was thrown on It
A veiled figure placed behind the sitter for an instant
might produce the same effect. Another process
was by putting a microscopic negative In the lens ;
another was by using a glass positive, and holding
It between the negative and the gaslight. A fifth
mode was by a second printing from a dried pre
pared plate. The testimony of this witness and of a
Mr. Mason, also a member of the photographic
branch or the American Institute, was the most
damaging or all. Mumler, who wore a bright leer on
Saturday and at the commencement or the week,
has commenced to look down In the mouth. I have
no doubt he reels as faint as his phantoms look, and
even the spiritualists who throng tho court-room are
beginning to think that, though he has been on the
best terms with ghosts, he will not have the "ghosf
of a chance.
Broadway, from nearly one end of It to the other,
is literally abloom with flowers. The. mignonette
bouquets sell for the slender sum of twenty-live
(rents each, and the larger combinations of hello
tropes, fuschlas, roses, pansles, geranium-leaves,
petunias, honeysuckle, arbor vita), verbena, sweet-
breath, painter's pencil, and so rorth at proportionate
prices. The flower-stalls frill the edges or all the
large hotels, and flower boys and girls ot tender ages
fringe the curbstone morning, noon, and night,
swinging their floral "frauds" (considered In the
light or their monstrous prices) iu the races or the
passers-by.
For one thing I reel extremely thankful to the State
Assembly, and that Is that It has passed a bill to In
corporate a "Hansom" Cab Company . In this city
We need one. We need something between tho
stage and the car, whose fare is respectively ten and
six cents, and the coaches which charge three dol
lars an hour, and at night fleece you In audacious de
fiance of the Marshal's office. To pay fifteen dollars
for a carriage to carry one from Brooklyn to some
place of amusement In New York, and back again,.
is a mere bagatelle. If you get off at that, you are
lucky. Consequently, all hall the "Hansom" Cab
Company, and prospective locomotion at a shilling
an hour. We must wait to see how things work
however. "HanBom" Is as "Hansom" does. ' At
present there are just two "Hundsoms" in this city,
which vie In popularity with the Irish jauntings-cars,
those festive back-to-bark arrangements, In which
the two seats for passengers run at right angles with
the drivers' seats, and are so urranged that passen
gers turn their backs, not on themselves, but on each
cither.
Brooklyn is going to have on her City Hall grounds
a magnificent new drinklug fountain for man ami
lieast. Indeed, the accommodations for the beasts
are arranged on a truly Bcrghlan scale of liberality,
far exceeding those for man ; and an attempt Is made
to appeal to tho religious sentiment dormant in the
breust of every truckman who, perceiving the hu
mane Intention in the fountain, will exclaim, as he
stops to water his beast there, "Whoa! every one
tlmt thlrsteth !"
Some benevolent ladles in the city talk of esta
blishing a Home for young men. Buthowure they
going to keep the young men at Home, alter getting
them there, unless they put up u velociede hall,
and have a restaurant and billiard saloon next door?
That's what's the matter with Ai.i Baba.
I,ee ii nd (rant.
If nil be true, however, that is told by certain
individuals who claim to bo well informed, the
quid uuncs may keep their appetite for sensa
tion in good order for another treat, which pro
mises to develop itself iu a day or two. This
fresh sensation, according to the disclosures that
have thus far been made, is to bo created by a
visit of General Robert E. Lee to the President.
A gentleman who professes to know the facts
connected with this projected visit states that
General Lee, who is now In Baltimore, where
he has been staying for a week past, will
come to this city to-morrow or next
day, and will be the guest of Montgomery Blair.
It is btated that tho General will visit the White
ilouco duiiug his stay here, and will have one or
more interviews with the President, who has
requested General Lee to call upon him. It is
intimated that the object of the interview sought
for by the President is to obtain from General
Leo his opinion in regard to tho working of tho
reconstruction laws in the State of Virginia, and
of the present temper of the leading citizens of
tho South. What other matters are to be touched
upon by the two principal military chieftains is
not definitely kuown, but from all that has
leaked out concerning the proposed conference
it is faii to infer thut it will be of more than or
tliiiufy biguiilcuiiCU. U'fl&'i i. Jl.'.'illi,

To the Editor of the Montreal Dally Witness:
At 7-40 this evening the writer and others were
standing on the bridge at Oranby, watcning
the high state of the river, and also the cars
slowly passing the embankment to the depot.
Just as I passed along the bridge from the south
side, and was going off on the north side. I found
the bridge sway, as If It was a drawbridge. I
ran off the north end, and in less time than I
write this tho south end of the bridge fell with a
crash, and hurried to another and, it is to bo
hoped, a better world, all those on the bridge at
the time. Among them were, as far as known
at present, 8 P. M., Patrick Hackctt, Ksq., who
was on the middle of the bridge when I met him;
Mr. Kdwaid Gilmour and eon. Edward, about
twelve years old; Mrs. H. 8. C. Miner and child,
Cora; Mrs. Sargent, her mother; Mrs. John Brad
ford and her sister, Miss Harvey, with Mr. John
Bradford's two children nil the fnmily except
himself and Mrs. G. Harvey. Thero was a little
boy, Rousseau, went down with the others, but
got cuugjit in the timbers. Ropes were got, and
Mr. Willinm Harvey, with great courage, and at
the rik of his life, with a rope round Ills waist,
brought him np not mnch the worse. Tho ex
citement, of course, is dreadful, and tho lamen
tations of those looking for their lost ones is
pitiable in the extreme. '
The north end of the bridge on which I was
did not give way from tho stone abutment; but
the south end went down with a crash into the
water, carrying lu living freight with it. Not a
noise (except the crash) or scream was heard;
it was so awfully sudden they never knew what
hurt them. The river is now higher than ever
it has beu since I came here, about twenty
three years ngo. The bull-head of the dam
nbove gave way this morning, and afterwards
Mr. Harvey's flume, pnrt of which, somo say,
struck tho south abutment,, being thereby the
cause of the accident. One of the culverts or
small bridges between here and Watcrhn) is
gone. Yours, etc., R. Niooi..

A correspondent writing from Laurel, Mary
land, on Saturday last, says:
To-day the citizens of this place were favored
with a visit from the nation's distinguished
chieftain, President Grant. He was the guest of
Dr. Sharpe, United States Marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia, who has rooms at Harrison's
Hotel. Shortly after his arrival he visited the
cotton factory, and was conducted through the
various apartments by the efficient manager, Mr.
Robert Pllson. He spent more than an hour at
this place, and evinced much interest in the
manufacturing operations of about 300 em
ployes which he witnessed. He then repaired
to the large and commodious school building
recently erected bv George P. Tiffin, Esq., at a
cost of about (.K)0fJ. Tho school was assembled
by the Principal, R. C. . McGinn, who had some
of the scholars read for the distinguished visitor.
Hp then returned to the hotel, where he re
mained till 530 P. ,M., when he took the train
for Washington. He expressed himself much
pleased with all that he had seen. While on the
way to and from the, factory ho was frequently
cheered. This is the second visit we have had
from a President, the first being modo by Gene

Tho New OrlcAns ' Common ' Council are con
sidering tho question of taxing gambling houses.
Some advise u tax as high as $20,000 per annum,
with the view of making it prohibitory. Others
would have it put at f 3500 half that Imposed by
the State. It woe argued that as the State bad
determined that the existence of these houses
might be recognized, provided they paid n tax
for the exercise of their arts, tho city could not
inhibit it directly or indirectly, -while it hns a
right to derive" a revenue therefrom, propor
tioned to its necessities, and the policy nsually
pursued in taxation. The J'icaiune favors a
tax, and says: "The city should regulate the
behavior of both the keepers and the customers
of these establishments, as it does those of the
bar-rooms nnd other places, under its general
powers over tho police ot the city.
i Singular llequeNt.
The suicide by sliooting of Miss Sarah C.
Lewis, at her house in Bralntree, was mentioned
In the Herald on Thursday, and we have since
learned that she made a will bcmicating her
house and land where she lived to a lady in Bos
ton, on condition that ehe should support the
domestic animals the deceased owned during
their lives, and when dead the property was to
revert to the .Universallst Society in West Scitu
nte. With the will wus found a very large pho
tograph of a torn cat, the property of Miss
Lewis, and as this is the only domestic animal
she 'was known to possess, and as the picture
will prevent any exchange of the animal, the
legacy, even if undisturbed, will not very long
benefit the legatee. Boston Herald, April i.

The reform of tho Russian army, placed on

the use for military operations of railways and

Prussian troops moved in 18(58 has opened all
eyes to "the enormous strategical importance of

of the First Baptist Church, Rev. II. C. Fish,
D.D., pastor. There is a large assemblage of
Sunday School teachers and superintendents,
representing most of the States in the Union.
This convention is called by a committee ap
pointed for ho purpose at tho great National
Convention held In Philadelphia iu 1858, acting
jointly with a committee appointed at the De
troit Convention of Young Men's Christian
Associations, held in June, 18rt8. The arrange
ments have been made on a liberal scale, aud,
iq couseuueuce, a largo number of the inont pro
minent Sunday School men of the country are
present.
i A Conmifon Bulletin is to be published
dining the sessions of the conveutlou, which
will make notes of the proceedings, and
give a variety of matters of Sunday School
intercut.
Long before 10 A. M. (the hour announced for
the opening exercises) crowds of good people
came thronging into the church, arriving on
every train from almost every direction. Tho
reception exercises commenced promptly ut the
hour appointed, by a well-executed voluntary on
the organ, aud the authem ' 'Praise the Lord our
God," which was admirably rendered by the
wliole fore JfuS? choir of the church. , Tlus
choir gallery occupies a prominent position In
the rear of the pulpit, which enables the congre
gation all the more to enjoy the musical exer
cises. Dr. Fish, the pastor of the church, thun
offered a brief but fervent prayer, which was
ihe occasion. The music of this "Welcome
Song," by Professor Perkins, was particularly
inspiriting. The Hon. Theodore Runyoo then
proceeded to deliver an eloquent address of
welcome.
This addrrtss of welcome was warmly ap
plaaded. After tho permanent organization,
George H. Stuart of Philadelphia, the President,
was conducted to tho chair by Mayor Peddle, of
Newark, who made some brief remarks.
Mr. Stuart commenced the opening address
after reading the twelfth chapter of Romans
from a pocket Testament which hiti been in the
war, and had saved a soldier's life. Ho then
spoke of the national convention held In Phila
delphia ten years ago, and of the now features
the work had assumed since then, and of its in
creased magnitude Ho alluded to the members
then present who have since died Brainerd.
Pardee, and others. Mr. Stuart was warmly ap
plauded during the address.
II. Thane Miller, of Cincinnati, well known as
the blind Sunday-school man of Ohio, led the
convention In the hymn, "All hail tho power of
Jesus' name," and the convention then pro
ceeded to Its regular business. So far the con
vention Is a great success. It will continue to
morrow and Friday. There are ample accom
modations for all the delegates.

The New York Money Market.
From the Herald.
"The Money market was abundantly supplied
during the earlier hours at 6 percent., which was the
prevailing rate on all classes of cull loans. Towards
8 o'clock more activity characterized the market, and
7 per cent was paid quite freely by those who had de
layed making their engagements In the hope of ob
taining loans at cheaper ilgures than ruled during
the previous portion of the day. Commercial paper
was also more active, and the host doublo names
pass at 8 to 10 per cent. The inquiry runs upon the
longer dates which will bridge the expected 4 par
cent, money market in the early summer.
"Despite a lower quotation at London the Govern
ment market was quiet and firm, and without special
feature. The scarcity of '62s renders quotations for
tliein somewhat nominal. Thus at tho close 121 V
was bid for half a million, while small lota were
offering at 121V. These high prices occasioned a
more marked diversion of the foreign Investment
demand to the '67s, which, under the continued pres
sure of the 'corner existing in them, aa well as the
fact just narrated, advanced to 116.
"In Southern securities the North Carollnas were
the feature, advancing to 57V, reating to 68 , and
returning to 67. The State Treasurer was In the
city to-day making arrangements for the payment
of the past due January and April interest. The
Alabama eights sold at 108, which was subsequently
bid, with no bonds offering. The Georgia sevens
touched 9rx, which was bid for very large amounts.
The city savings banks are the chief inquirers for
the latter two State securities. The tone of the
whole list was firm and buoyant, except for the Vir
ginias, which were reactionary with the adjournment
of Congress.
"Foreign exchange was suddenly firmer nnder the
demand fornllls which, with the absence of cotton
hills and the limited supply of bond bills, are scarce.
The market at the present time Is dependent to a
great extent upon the supply of bond bills; but as
the prices of Governments on this side are so much
higher than In London, no margin is left for ship
ment, and exchange is thus deprived of one source
of supply. This was the secret ot the advance in
rates to-day. Towards the close the market was less
firm, owing to the extravagant rates for borrowing
gold, for the use of which as high as V of 1 per cent,
was paid until to-morrow. The following was the
range of quotations; sterling sixty days, commer
cial, 1081108,; ; good to prime bankers', 108W109;
short sight, 109(109,;; Paris, sixty; days, 6-23?i(n
6-17X; Bhort sight, 6 -1 8 ,'(. r 25; Antwerp, 6-23V3

B'lS.v; Amsterdam, 89?,;i.40J4 ; Frankfort, 40V(4
40f ; Bremen, 77Jii7; Prussian thalors, 70r
MUii."
From the World.
"The money market was more active to-day at 6
to 7 per cent, on call, but the supply was abundant
and In excess of the demand. The activity was
caused by the locking up of gold and the Increased
demand for lawful money to carry the gold and
withdraw it from the market. The banks continue
to gain currency from the interior. Prime business
notes are In demand at b to 9 per cent.
"The gold market opened at 133,V, advanced to 184
and closed at 8 P. M. at 133. The rates paid for
borrowing were 1-64, 8, 8, flat, 1-82, 3 61, 1-ltf, 8-82,
,', 8-10, and V per cent. After the lioard adjourned
the quotation wa9 183'J at 6-80 P. M. Gold was
made scarce yesterday by tho lockiug-up of a largo
amount by some heavy operators. On Thursday,
Government will sell by public tender 1,D0(),01H) iu
nw.il, mm ii i nu mm iiououess win oe placed on the
market that siinio day, so that It Is not likely the
parties locking up gold will contlaue to do so beyond
to-iiuy. l lie Assistant Treasury nald veaterdav
3,ouo,000ol gold checks, dated May 1, for the Interest
on bouds. The heavy amount of gold coming upon
the market has checked the nioveuieuUof the 'bull'
operators.
"The Stock market was buoyant and advanced,
with very large transactions In the leadlug stocks.
New York Central, the Northwest shares ou the re
rt of a cash dividend to lie paid on both stocks, and
I ho St. Paul shares, were active aud strong. In
Northwest prelerred over 60,000 shares have been

ture of our local niarkot again to-day.- The
banks continue to strengthen their position by
liberal recvipu of cnrroiicy from different quar
ters, and expand their loans in about the i,ine
ratio. The market, in fact, Is just now In so
comfortable a condition, and the prospect of any
occurrence to rhungo its main feature so remote,
that the rates for loans now prevailing, thongh
Suite moderate, are beginning to exhibit a ten
on cy to a still further decline. This state Of
our money market cunnot fall to aTect favor

daily exhibited by an increased activity in
almost every department. ; t
Call loans are very easy to-day ai 6VS6 per
cent, on Government bond, ana at' V'7 per
cent, on miscellaneous securities. Discounts
rule very easy. Prime bills are' scarce outside

terms..' The range-Is between 7SX) por cent, for
first grndes only. - ''!'.
