Milpwree.k on the Goodwin Rand.
London, Dec. 24. Everybody has heard of
the treacherous "(Joodwln Sands'' and of their
fatal character to unwary or inexpert mariners.
An exciting shipwreck occurrod there last
Thursday. On the morning of that day, during
strong northeasterly gale, a vessel was seea to
have (truck on the sands. The Ratmgnte
tcamcr Aid and the lifeboat Bradford there
upon proceeded out to her through a vory
heavy cross sea. On arriving near tho oust
kodwin buoy, about a mile and a half
from the wreck, which was found to bo
n the Southeast Calliper Sands, the lifeboat was
slipped from the steamer, when sail was mado
nnd she proceeded towards the vessel through a
terrific sea. On arrlvlug within fifty fathoms
tho anchor was let go and she was veered away
towards the vessel's port quarter, three or four
f the crew being seen on that part of the ves
sel. With their assistance a hawser was got
into the lifoboat, nnd after very great
exertions on the part of tho lifoboat men the
boat was hauled to within ten or twelve fathoms
of the wreck; but the mountainous sea and
strong eddying tide prevented them getting any
closer. The ehip was fast breaking up, and
mafits and spars falling; aud the master thou
made an attempt to reach the lifeboat by sliding
flown tho hawsers, but when half way between
tho boat and his vessel a very heavy sea swept
bim away. fortunately he fell within a few
yards of the boat, and succeeded in grasping a
lifo buoy that was thrown to him. There
being no time to spare, it the men
left on board the wreck were to be
aved, the lifeboat men were compelled to
leave him for a time, aud they then made some
desperate attempts to get nearer tho vessel.
Meanwhile one of her crew followed the mas
ter's example, and came down the hawser, but
ho also was washed away, being, however,
got safely Into the lifeboat. There now re
mained only one man and a boy on the wreck;
tho former made a rope fast round his body and
plunged into the water, but, notwithstanding
every exertion made to B'lve Lim, he unfortu
nately sank and was drowned. The poor boy
was now the only one left, and his screams to
the lifeboat mcu to save him were heartrending.
For half an hour tho brave fellows made every
effort to do so. Then a tremendous
eea struck the ship, nearly broko
her in two, nnd the lad was washed
overboard. The cable of the lifeboat was then
cut and she steered clear of the wreck, when
providentially tho boy tloatcd near the boat, wa3
seized by the boathook. aud hauled in. lie was
then apparently dead, but after some time tho
men succeeded in bringing him to. A search was
then made for tho master, and ho was found
floating with the life-buoy amid the breakers,
and nf er several attempts he also was saved,
although in a very exhausted state. Tho lifeboat
then joined her consort the steamer aud pro
ceeded with the rescued men to Ramsgate
harbor, where she arrived early in the afteruoou.

Frinkkokt, Dec. 28. The financial report of
Mr. Boutwcll has not made a favorable impres
sion. The excellent state of tho finances was
known beforehand; but tho corroboration of the
reports about a reduction of tho interest in
duced nmny holders to sell. Money Is now worth
five to sir per cent, in this country for tho yery
best investments, and the time is, therefore, ill
chosen to offer four and a half per cent, interest
on foreign bonds. The high price of Eng
lish consols and French rentes has
nothing to do with the question, for our
people do not buy them. They are mostly
lor long years in tho same hands, who keep
them; and, though everybody might admit, with
the Secretary for Finance, that the credit of the
United States is equal to taat ot the very best
States, there is 60 largo a demand for capital for
railway purposes in Germany, Austria, aud Rus
sia that the immense majority of American bond
holders will not accept for tho present aa inte
rest of four aud a half per cent., and that Mr.
Boutwcll ought to bo satisfied that French and
English capitalists will step in for German
holders before he coiacs forward with his pro
posal. Besides European bonds there Is such a com
petition for capital on our market on account of
American States and companies that people will
find no dilllculty in investments. There are
seven per cent. California State bonds sold this
week at OSJ; St. Louis city bonds, six per cent.,
are sold at 7(5. Chicago and other currency
bonds and the long, ever-increasing list of rail
way mortgage bonds all offering seven per cent.'
on their bonds at 70, an oiler of four and a half
Jer cent, on United States bonds has not the
cast chanco of being accepted. The conse
quence of a failure of the attempt once mads
will be most fatal and tell heavily on the pre
mium of gold. I am certain that of all con
coctors of this 111 timed protect, not a single one
will engage for a large sum of four and a half
per cent, to take them at par or some per cent,
below from your Minister; all they want Is to
try whether they can make a profit by a com
mission without any risk. They, at least, ought
to know better, as five per cent, ten-forties re
deemable in 1874 are sold here at eighty-seven
per cent.

of "Khadamanthus" in the play of Pluto, had
been appropriating a largo number of his shirts,

also a purple velvet vest presented to him by

Mr. Llngard stated that about eight months

tho prisoner, who was arrayed in the vest, shirt
and collar of his employer. He admitted taking
the coat and gave up the pawn ticket for it,
stating lui had pawned It in the Bowery, under
the name of Johnson, for fifteen, dollars. He
was taken to the station-house and in

HADES IN THE WOOD.

Three urml lieoiea t'ouno on no niougwim
On New Year's Day, three children, sons of
Mr. Joseph Wyhle, a respectable laboring man,
residing near Ponipton, la Passaic county, N. J.,
at the base of the Wvnockio Mountain, left
home for the purpose of "going nutting" in the
woods on the mountain.
It was 4 o'clock when they left home, so that
their failure to return before nightfall occa
sioned but llttlo alarm. After that, hawever,
their continued absence rendered the distracted
parents almost frantic. Tho fearful rain storm
which prevailed during the ulght and part of
next day fearfully intensified tho feelings of the
bereaved father and mother, inasmuch as their
little darlings had not yet been seen nor heard
irom.
On Monday a search was made by a number
of the country people, but nothing could be dis
covered of the whereabouts of tho missing
children, whoso ages were respectively ten,
seven, and five years. The entlro neighborhood
nt length joined In tho search, and It was not till
Tuesday last that tho mystery was solved.
The innocent trio were found lying dead, side
by side, on the south side of tho mouBtaln, some
ten or eleven miles from their homo. It was
quite thickly covered with timber where tho
bodies were discovered. From the appearance
of the latter It is thought that the children ex
isted for several days on the nuts they had
gathered previous to being benighted, and hav
ing lost their way were overtaken by physical
exhaustion and starvation, which resulted in
death! The bodies were removed to the home
of their heart-broken parents, for whom the
entire community evince tho deepest sym

CITY FINANCES.
Annual Report of the City Controller.
City Controller Hctz yeBterday submitted to Coun
cils a great mass of statistics, representing tho con
dition of our Ununces. The report sets forth that
the expenses ot tho city during 1869 amounted to
114,013,124. This sum includes loans of various
kinds, leaving the actual expenses of the depart
ments at ffi,477,24G. The loans redeemed during tho
year amounted to 1102,598, and the funded doit of
the city on the 1st ot January, 1870, was $42,401,939.
The cash balance in the Treasury on January 1, 1870,
was $1,6(14,012. The Controller makes some very Im
portant suggestions In his report, it says:
The amount of unpaid taxes upon the books of
this department has awakened a lively interest In
your honorable bodies, and deserves prompt atten
tion and necessary legislation to prevent an accumu
lation ot indebtedness to the city of a like character
In future years. By reference to the schedule of
outstanding taxes, It appears that the amount of
Jf3,8S5,0fl.vi is due the city for taxes prior to January
1, 1KC9, yet from a careful examination of tho bo oks
of the Department of Receiver of Taxes, I am satis
lied that the same Is largely In error. Tho amount
estimated to be received Into the City Treasury is
bused upon tho rate of those levied upon the aggre
gate amount of property furnished by tho Hoard of
Revision or City Commissioners in previous years
from the assessors' oooks, but is never realized, for
the following reasons:
First. The false basis upon which the estimate is
made. It Is plainly apparent that in the valuation
of property, as made upon the bonks of the asses
sors, thousands of dollars' worth of property Is In
cluded which has been exempted from taxation by
either general or special legislation, viz.. churches,
public Institutions, colleges, cemeteries, etc.
Properties have been assessed in duplicate that
Is, fronting on two streets, and assessed upon each
frontal. Errors have been made In copying the du
plicates, etc.. which errors are only discovered when
parties are about settling their hills, and have been
rectified by the City Commissioners or Board of lie
vision granting certificates of allowance. The de
ductions from or additions to the original returns of
tho aggregate valuation of property to this depart
ment have never been returned to the Controller.
Consequently, credit has never been given for said
corrections, and outstanding taxes are still debited
with them.
Second. The utter impossibility of collecting a
large amount of taxes that are nearly due and
should be paid, aud It Is here whero the faulty and
bungling manner of making the assessment is most
apparent.' The inefficient manner of locating and
describing properties assessed, the neglect of ascer
taining tho names of the owners of properties at the
time of the assessment, act as a bar to the collection
of taxes due by the filing of a Hen. In the collection
of unpaid taxes upon tne books of tho department
the custom has been that, after a lapse of five years,
liens are filed BgalDst the property, but from the
faulty descriptions obtained from the assessors'
books the same are set aside or fall valueless, aud
the city not only sutlers the loss of tho tax levied
but the cost of suit likewise.
In the assessment o( the value of personal pro
perty, tho death, removal of the owner, or sale of the
same makes the tax a totul loss. The whole default
may therefore be traced and made chargeable to
our system of assessment, ttio assessors themselves,
In a majority of cases, being totally incompetent to
perform their highly responsible duties, aud the
w hole ; stem, as now In practice, is a farce upon a
well-ordered financial system tht oug'it to prevail.
The Controller then states that the ceatlon of the
Board of Revision bus tended to correct a number of
the abuses above referred to, but It is suggested that
further legislation is required to enable the board to
accomplish all that is deBired.

Mr. I'roctor tlrst obtained prominence In business
circles as a Whoi'sale and retail cloak manufacturer
and dealer, . the slto named. He did a thriving
business, and was considered "good" whilst engaged
In the business, lie also held an Interest in a

with his creditors, he wns allowed and Immediately
set about retrieving past losses; but little tune,
however, elapsed untU he again Bought protection
from his friends. Many of them supposed the man
to te honest, and it was again agreed that ho should,
have another chance.
A short time ago he mado an assignment to IT. C.
Muore & Co., white goods dealers, Chesnat street,
above sixth, and an attempt was being made by his
creditors to obtain a settlement of fifty cents upon
the dollar. This was postponed, and Mr. I'roctor
continued to dispose of his goods as agent. On Tues
day of last week Mr. Moore on calling at the store
found that ho was absent. Nothing was thought of
this, and Mr. Mooro patiently awaited his return.
Not putting In an appearance up to Monday last, Mr.
Moore became alarmed and called upon the wife of
Mr. l'routor, who informed him that she kuew
nothing as to his whereabouts.
The store safe being locked, Mr. Moore Inquired
for the key of the safe, and upon search it was found

Mr. Moore then returned to tho store, and in the
presence of several witnesses opened the safe, tho

picked.
A thorough examination of the cnutenfs disclosed
the fact that Mr. Proctor was nothing less than an
absconder. The cash books of the linn, together
with various other papers, had been either carried
off or destroyed, and but 62 cents were left of the re
ceipts. An examination of his bank account showed

tlllt NEW YORK MONEY WAIIKET.
From th N. Y. Herald.
"There waB a perrect cessation of hostilities to
day between the dtil'ercnt parties In the Gold Room,
and It Is likely that no farther dispute or trouble
will arise with the Gold Bank, inasmuch as all deal
ers possess the privilege of making their clearances
through that lnstitntiou.or privately with each other
as they choose. The clearances to-day were only
twenty-eight millions, and hence the inference that
the bank has lost considerable patronage: but a
portion of the decrease Is doubtless due to the dul
ness of yesterday's business. The market to
day was heavy during the Board, and the price,
which opened at 121Ji, declined to I'ilV. Lato iu
the afternoon a telegram from Paris announced col
lisions between the citizens aud police, and In the
apprehension or a civil war in France the price of
gold suddenly ran up to 122J. From this point it
declined again to 121V, the brokers being inclined to
ridicule the news; but despite their levity the mar
ket was feverish and sensitive, the sale or purchase
of comparatively small amounts easily eiieotiug a

FROM WA S RING TON.
The Admission of Virginia.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Jan. 14. A despatch received
here from Iowa states that a Republican legis
latlve cauens which met- to day, Judge Wright
was nominated for U. S. Senator for the term
commencing March 4, 1871, and J. B. Ilowell to
serve out the unexpired term of Senator Grimes
Iowa Senators.
It is expected that a vote will be roached in
both houses to-day on the admission of Virginia.
It is thought that Mr. Bingham's resolution for
unconditional admission will be adopted.
Opposition to Hnmnrr'a Bill.
Senator Samner's financial bill is likely to
meet with strong opposition from the Secretary
of the Treasury, who thinks it discriminates in
favor of foreign holders of our bonds. It gives
five per cent, interest to tho Five-twenties of
1802, nearly all of which are held abroad, while
other issues are put down at four and a half per
cent. Secretary Boutwell is of the opinion that
it will be easier to negotiate a loan abroad at a
low rate of interest than at home. The Finance
Committee of the Senate are against Sumner's
bill.
The Tax on Coal.
Despatch to tht Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 14. The Committee Ion
Ways and Means to-day refused, by a vote of
two against six, to make bituminous coal free;
rejected the motion of 50 cents per ton; by three
against five, and tho proposition of a dollar per
ton was lost by a tie vote. Coal, therefore, re
mains as now.
General Campbell, Governor of Wyoming, is
here to procure legislation for the Territory rola-
tive to the Indians, and other objects.

FOKTV-FIRST TEltBI SECOND SESSION
Heaate.
Jan. "14 Petitions were
Washington,
pre
scrted by Mr. Hauilln for an appropriation in
support of tho destitute poor of Washington.
By Mr. Scott, from the Lehigh nnd Schuylkill
region of Pennsylvania, setting forth that the
Special Commissioner of Revenne in his report
had incorrectly estimated the cost of the manu
facture ot pig iron.
By Mr. Drake, in favor of.'the abolition of the
franking prlviltge, who declared himself not
only in favor of the proposition, but wished to
incorporate with it another reform by discon
tinuing the immense publications of public
documents, thereby lessening the expenses of
the Government.
Mr. Pratt, from the Judiciary Committee, re
ported favorably the bill relative to the acknow
ledgment of deeds In the District of Columbia.
Mr. Willey introduced a bill to abolish the
franking privilege, and to establish the letter
carrier system in cities of five thousand inha
bitants. Referred to the Committee on Post
Unices and Post Konds.
Mr. Scott offered a resolution requesting the
Secietary of the Treasury to comniunicuto to the
Senate tho information or data upon which the
Special Commissioner of Revenue had based his
statements relating to the average cost of the
manufacture of American pig iron In the valley
of the Cumberland nnd the anthracite regions of
Pennsylvania.
Uhe dineusslon was farther continued by
Messrs. Sherman, Cole, and Casslday, and.
without action on tho motion, the Virginia bill
wrs taken up, the question being on Mr. Ed
munds amendinont, oliered yestcrav, and Mr.
Conkllng rpcalung against it.
House.
Immediately after the reading of the journal,
mo uoue rcsumua mu cousiucrauon oi tne Vir
einiablll. Mr. Fitch expressed his regret that Virginia
had not been admitted to political equality in
the Union at tho same time with Geonrla. lis
believed that it would have been better for Vir
ginia, better for tho country, and belter for the
Republican pnrty. lie was quite convinced
that no act could lie done so hurtful to the Re
publican party, so injurious to the best Interests
of the whole country, and so especially damag
ing to the speedy -and honest reconstruction of
the South, as to exact now from Virginia any
other or political conditions than those pre
scribed by the act of April last.
The war had been waged to build up, not to
demolish; to protect, not to destroy; to disen
thral, not to disfranchise. If they should give
to simulated apprehensions and to the spleen of
disappointed politicians such legislation as was
embraced in the bill, in violation of tho Implied
compact, in exeess of previous.eondltions, and
not nceewary for any M" .
they would - -' " , y. Impose whatever,
com,... -vi o endorsed by the peoplo. The
mp of April last was to the effect that It
virirliiia would provide in her State constitution
for giving colored men the right to hold office,
she would be admitted. She had fulfilled that
condition, and now it was proposed to admit her,
with a fundamental condition that she would
not change or niter her Constitution in those
particulars. Did not gentlemen on tho
Republican side of the House see
that they were measurably giving away their
position, that they were surrendering their fort
roes to the enemy, when they admitted that Vir
ginia conld change her organic law by disfran
chising her colored citizens? He appealed
to his own sklo of tho nouie to bo
logical if not mngnanlmous, wise if
not confiding. Why should they insult and
haraps and worry and destroy that unhappy
Commonwealth ? What has she done to deservo
such treatment ? She was a State that had
given four Presidents to the republic; that had
entered with hesitation into the conspiracy to-
destroy tne uovernmcnt, ana wnose people had
been punished as never people had been pun
ished for their folly and their crimes. Shorn
of raiment, despairing, sho stood at
tho door of the Capitol, meekly asking
not to shape the policy of the country, not to fiU
the capital with her sons and retainers, bnt for
the right to rule herself and to shape her own
local laws. For himself he would not "laugh at
her calamity, nor mock when nor fear cometh,"
Republican though ho was. She was a part of
his country, and he would not insult her sor
row. On the contrary, ho could find no words
for her but those of welcome, and confidence.
and cheer.
Mr. I'tieon. a member of the Reconstruction
Committee, stated that he had concurred in re-
portr-.r the bill from the committee, and that he
would voto for its passage because he believed
that all its provisions were necessary, reason
able, nnd just.
Mr. Hawley supported tho bill, and would
even exact further conditions from Virginia if
his vote could secure them.
Mr. Asper said he had been originally In favor
of admitting Virginia without conditions, hut
ho was now induced to believe that the interests
and liberties of the whole people of that Stato
were not safe if she were admitted without eon
diilons. He would support this bill, and if the
conditions were struck out he would vote against
the admission of Virginia. "
Mr. Ward, from tho Reconstruction Commit--tec,
referred to tho singular position in which
the bill was placed by the action of the gentle
man from Illinois (Mr. Farnsworth), who had
been deputed by tho committee as its organ to
present tho bill to tho House. He was surprised
to hear the opposition made by that gentleman
to the provisions imposing an oath upon the
State officers. The committee had reported the
bill in good faith, with the understanding that
the gentleman from Illiuoisshoiild defend it in the
Houeo. If that gentleman could not consistently
do so, he should hare passed it over to soma
other gentleman on the committee tor Instance,
to Mr. Bcnman who would defend it and press
it to a vote.
Mr. Farnsworth said thnt he had pursued in
the House the courso which he had iutimatcd in
the coinn lttce he should take, advocate the bill
wiih the exception of the provision in regard to
the oath. It seemed to Lim that the members
of the committee who had thus far addressed
the House, except Mr. Upson, had not advo
cated the bill as mnch as he had. When tho
pentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Paine) was ad
dressing the House, he (Mr. Farnsworth) had
been inquired of as to which side that gentle
innn was on, and upon a careful examination of
his speech since, he was at a loss to determine
whether the speech was in favor of the bill or
against it.
