A DISTORT OP TUB MONUMENT ASSOCIATION. "The Washington Monument Association of the First School District of Pennsylvania," to whose un- bartled perseverance we owe our first public statue of the hero, Is as ancient as the year 1858. The con templated trophy was at first Intended to be more ambitious. On the 2d of February, 1859, the great fair of the public schools was organized, opened, and continued for three weeks in National Hall. Market Htreet Here the most of the money of the associa tion was made. Advertisements fur plans were '. Issued on the bill of April. On the 14th of April, same year, a charter was obtained from the State of Penn sylvania. On the 2oth day of June, la69, a grand floral fair was opened In Jayne'l Hall. On the 17th if October, same year, after some delay aud some feeling, the location of the proposed monument was Axed by a decided vote at Valrmount Park. On the 1st of December, 1869, the three premiums for tin best designs were awarded, amounting to ix hundred dollars. On the 8th of December ap- Dlicallon was formally made to the City Coun cils, and bad they then si ted, aa did the City Coun cils the other day (February 10, lbOD), lu mead of a statue on the pavement In front of Independence IlalL a monument of colossal dlmen- moiis. from the highest summit of Falrmount Park, would have lifted its summit to the sky. Tho out break of the Bobelllon, however, fonnd the aocla- 1 tlon unprepared with an accepted plan, and un supported W much public sympathy, i From that time tho flrBt considerations of the clvlu mind were' matters nbt less weighty, but more intimately allied to the preservation of the nation than the punt, services of any hero. On the omiclunlon of the war, the association wisely concluded Umf. some com paratively small, flnlHhed decoration for the centre of the city would be a better destination of their funds than on embarrassingly expensive strneture at a distance. At a meeting held May IS, ll!, committee was directed to receive plans and esti mates for a statue. Ou the 13lh of September, lw7, a contract was entered into with J. A. Bailly, the eminent artist of this city, to model out In white a marble statue. This Is the image now concluded and paid for. On tho 16th of February last, the City Councils, In answer to a request from the associa tion, pnssed "An ordinance to locate the statue of Washington In front of Independence Hall." I THB STATU! XJV. The statue wad placed In Its position this morning, aud was much admired by a crowd of citizens who have been congregated around It since It was un covered, j - . Tns Rkai, Estath Kxohakok. This Is an Institu tion abont lelng Inaugurated In onr city, designed m a gathering plac e of persons connected with this Important interest. A committee of gentlemen have been instructed to lease and fit np a suit of room In the Forrest Building, South Fourth street, and have furnished It with tables, desks, etc The tlrst apartment Is for a general exchange room, free to the public The registry, of real estate brokers, slier I ir, auctioneers, and owners will be found In this room, and may be visited by both sexes win) may be In search for houses. Frames are hung npon the walls for the insertion of glass card signs intended as an advertising medium for conveyancers, the In surance companies, builders, material men and others. The public visiting thlB room will find a registry of ail property for snle or to rent, and be saved the fatigue of visiting private offices remote from each other. Heal estate agents and owners will thus have an advertising otnee of dally resort bv the pnbllc Walnut tables and desks furnish the connecting rooms designed for rental to persons not having private offices, newspaper Hies, library, etc will be in these rooms. The allair has been gotten np in a novel and tasteful manner, reflecting credit on the committee, and It is a matter of sur prise to us that a real estate exchange has not ong ego been established. These exchanges, where persons congregate at certain hours, facilitate busi ness, and are one of the grent features of New York. The rooms of the Philadelphia Heal Estate Ex change muBt become a popular resort, every mem ber of the community being to some extent inte rested as owner, tenant, builder, material man, buver, or seller, and the Forrest Building is in every respect well adapted for the above purpose. An ENTia- Family Poisonbd Tns . Domestic CBAKfiED with tub Crimb. This afternoon Anna J. Hawkins, aged seventeen years, will have a heating before Recorder Givln, on the charge of an assault. with intent to Kin an entire lamuy composed of seven persons, whose names are Mrs. Margaret J. and Miss Alice, and Mr. JohnM. Hotr. and Mary E., Elizabeth, Maggie, and Nathan F. Pancoast. The facts, as far as can ne gicaneu, are as roiiows: The family live at No. 404 8. Eleventh street, and Anna lives with them as a domestic About a week ago. they were all, except Anna, taken suddenly 111, and from the symptoms the physician pronounced that they had been poisoned. Fortunately all recovered, after a great ueai 01 sunoring. it was tnen con cluded that the sickness had been caused by some bread of which the inmates had partaken. An ex amination of that article disclosed the presence of arsenic. It was at first supposed that the flour from which the bread was made had contained the poison, but the movements of Anna being suspicious, she was questioned, and Anally admitted that she had poiBoned the bread sponge with some arsenic, which she had found In a clock, and which had been used by Mr Hon in destroying rats and mice. Anna was taken Into custody by Special Detective Itobert Smith. On being nuestioned as to what her obiect was. Ann states that somebody had been telling stories about her to Mrs. Hotf, wiio had threatened to keep her in the' house for one month, and that she deter mined to make them sick, but thut she had no Inten tion of killing any one.- J t . , VBL0CIPKDE8 in the Park The Park Commis sioners shoull promptly put a stop to the practice of veloclpedists running their machines along the car riage drives of the park, else serious accidents will result. On Thursday afternoon the occupants of three carriages came very near destruction through the rushing of a velocipede along one of the princi pal drives in the park. The horses attached to the carriages took fright and ran away, and the ntmost excitement was created before they could be brought to a stand still. It is not our purpose to interfere with the large number of persons who enjoy the sport of using the velocipede, either In the park or elsewhere, but we think the Park Commissioners should at once prohibit their use on the carriage drives. There are many places In the park better adapted to running the velocipede, and where the pleasure derived from riding upon it Is far. greater than on the public drives, and where there can be no danger to any persons or animals. This is a matter of vital Importance to the public, and the question should be met Immediately by the proper auuionuea. - Arrival op a Distinguished Composer. W. Tschlrsh. a celebrated composer and organ Ist.arrlved in Baltimore last evening from Gera,' Uermany. This gentleman comes to this city on the Invitation of the Sange.rbund Singing 'Society of this city, in order that he might participate with them In the Sangerfcst which conies oil' at Baltimore. -This compliment Is tendered him In consequence of the high estimation in which his music is held In this country, and as a number of his productions will be sung at the sangerfest, the Sangerbund Society at a receut.meeting appointed a committee, who ieft last night for Baltimore, to receive the distinguished gentleman. He will be escorted to this city, and to night will have a grand lewr-iion at Sangerbund Hall ' An Alleged Dishonest Domestic. A woman a few days ago hired In the family of a gentleman living at Mantuavllle, and gave the name of Caro line Grey. About 4 o'clock this morning the family were awakened by hearing a racket In the house, and on Investigating the cause discovered Caroline bundling ap her goods preparatory to making her exit. Her bundle was searched, and a number of handsome dresses and a quantity of valuable jewelry found. Some of the jewelry was marked with the Initials M. W. P. The goods were all in a pillowcase, on which were the same initials. None of the arti cles belonged to the gentleman with whom she was living, and the supposition Is that she has been pilfering from iormer places where she had been re siding as a domestic She will be at the Central Station this afternoon. Fireworks this (Saturday) Evbnino A grand display of fireworks by the patriotic citizens of "Old Southwark" will come otr this evening at the Key stone Park, Third and Morris streets.

As usual, Old Southwark is once more ahead 01 other portions of our citv. One good Idea adopted by the managers of the dis may is tne loroKiuing 01 tnesaieof intoxicating iquors upon the ground.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, July 8. Arter a careful Inquiry In official circles, It Is ascertained that there Is no truth In the statement that General Sickles has been In structed to open negotiations with the Spanish Government for the purchase of Cuba. The authori ties at the State Department ridicule the Idea, and say that It finds no countenance from any member of the administration. The President has all along followed the advice of Secretary Fish In matters pertaining to onr foreign affairs. Mr. Fish's Idea is that Cuba will come to us when we want it, and that it is therefore useless to hasten matters either by purchasing it or aiding Cubans In wresting it -from Spain. This Is the policy of tho administration, and there Is no prospect of Its being aoanuoueu. t ' I , Hon. John Covode Chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee of your State, is expected here soon, to have an understanding with the President and llcads of Departments relative to the campaign next fall. The Pennsylvania politicians now here say that covoue win demand Hour h place in tne Cabinet for Pennsylvania, . Grant, it is given out, has already been Indirectly approached on the subject.

"The Important announcement of the Secretary 01 the Treasury that he will to-day purchase ttirer millions of Government bonds, In addition to th usual one per cent, for the sinking fund, Indicates t desire on the part of that otllciol to make amend; for the contradictlonary policy by which he has en bled the Wall street speculators- to inaugurate a Jierlod of stringency - unparalleled in our loca Inances, -at this season certainly. Suli-Trenmire Butterueld states In the advertisement that tin purchase will be for the Treasury Department, th same to be held subject to the future action of Con. gress. It does not Interfere with or change the ex Isting orders for the purchase of bonds on alternate Thursdays. - The voice of tha people will endnrt what Mr. Boutwell Intends doing. The Sinkin? Fuvd act was allowed to remain Inoperative dnri'i the career of his predecessors! and while there c. be little doubt that he has the right to cam e bonds to the extent of one per cent, pe annum for the time which has elapsed since tti enactment of the law, he Is perhaps prudent 1: awaiting the full confirmation of his -acts by Cou gress. The effect of the news was to produce grea cheerfulness and a feeling that the money mark e must relax, especially as the purchase of bonds aii( the usual disbursements of the Government hetweel the 1st aud 3d inst will liberate about six millions i the heavy currency balances in the Treasury. Tht opening rate for money was about an eighth. Late) 111 tne oay tne apprehension returned, when atteiv tion was more generally directed to the fact that thti currency balance had increased to over tiiT,000,iMH on the 1st Inst The usual amount kept In the Trea sury has been eight to ten millions, so Unit Mr Boutwell has suffered nearly thirty niillloiu to accumulate Idly In the Governtnen vaults. This Is virtual contraction, for t lessens the circulating medium ' and leaves ' 1 smaller volume of currency with which to do bnsf nePH. It Is to be hoped that Mr. Boutwell Is not I contractlonlst; but there are certain facts made ap parent In the debt statements for the first four montlii or since he began his administration. Thus tht legal-tender notes have been reduced tS6,8T9, an the fractional currency 14,719,420; probably bj merely not reissuing wornrout notes redeemed.- Tht three per cent certiUcates have been reduced t fi,020,ooo, so that the whole amount of Treasur paper available for reserve in the banks, and as tin basis of bank currency and deposits, is $a,835,899 leu than it was four months ago. Aga, his accumula tion 01 currency lu tne Treasury is excessive, as thi following comparison will show. The amount eacl month was: - April ...., $6,802,628 June l.........10,9fl4,R.f Mav 1 7,8,SG4 July 1..... 3T,097,81i "It Is hardly to be wondered at that the feelini later In the day became less enthuslastlo and tha stocks baited and became steady. The mind of Wai street Is painfully confused as to the real eventually of the present extraordinary complications of th money market, which became fitful and irregular a the day wore on, the rate on call ranging as high a tnree-eigutns and interest, witn, perhaps, some ex ceptional transactions at a half percent Commer cial paper was offered at ten to twelve per cent fu prime names, but no business was done except a the higher lignre. "Aicnuay next is a iegai nonnay, dui tnere are ccr tain provisions In the law with reference to note falling due between to-day and Monday which shouli be generally known. The statute provides thu when any prescribed holiday shall occur on Sunda tnen tne ensuing day thereto snail, tor ail purpose whatsoever, as regards the presenting for paymes or acceptance, and of the protesting and glviu notice of the dishonor of bills of exchange, baa checks, and promissory notes, be treated and cor Bidered as la the first day of the week, common! called Sunday. And any bill of exchange, ban check, or promissory note which, but for this ac! would fall due and be payable on any cf the day herein mentioned, shall, when said days fall on Sue day, become due and payable on the Tuesday ne t succeeding sueh days. Under these provisions ti New York banks on Monday next will hold Homme: cial paper having days of grace and falling due o Sunday, July 4, 1809, payable on Tuesday, the 6th 0 Jnly ; commercial paper without day of grace, du on Sunday, July 4, 1869, will be payable on Tuesday the 6th of July, commercial paper having days 1 grace, and falling due on Monday, July 5, 1809, wi. lie payame on naturuay, tne an ui juiy ; commerce nnner without ilftVH of crace. falling due on Mnniln, July 5, 1868, will be payable on Tuesday, the 6th t July. j "The government market was extremely buoyant the '67 'a rising a clear one per cent upon the price of yesterday and the 6-i's advancing about sevei eighths. Its strength was all the more remarkah! that the stringency In money continued, purchase deliberately facing the prospect of having to pa high rates to have their boRds carried and that gol declined. The secret of the rise was the propositio of the Secretary of the Treasury to buy three million to-day, which was very favorably Interpreted 1 Knrope, the price In London rising to 8l)'. Tho cor tinued decline in gold and the closing activity it duced a fractional reaction late in the afternoof 'Some of the prime bankers gave the foreign er Changes a Arm look by opening their rales at lw for sixty days bills.
