Mbmthis, Feb. 21. The Emma No. 3 loft
this port about 1 o'clock Saturday morninjr,
with a moderate cargo of plg-lron,Krocerles,wlne,
and four hundred bales ol cotton, half of, which
ww for Evansvllle.
The following persons are known to have
been on her: W. G. 8jcnee, D. Klncade, J. K.
Forbes, of Lauderdale county, Adam Pfulsler,
f Owcnsboro, Kentucky, and four wood-chop-pere
from Clueinnatl, none of whose names
appear as known to have been saved. The first
three names were farmers, having just disposed
of their cotton, and were on their way home.
Pfeister had engaged to manage a plantation
In Arkansas, and had fcone to bring his wife and
children. The woodehoppers' names cannot be
ascertained, A party of young ladies from
Danville, Kentucky, were also reported to have
taken passage, but did not: they left her on
Boturday evening on the St. Louis packet.
Fiom additional particulars, we learn that
when the boat took tiro, Captain Maratta, with
his brother, lowered the yawl, intending to place
the ladies in it and take them ashore, and not
withstanding the fact that he stood in It with a
cocked revolver, warning them to keep away
until bo bad landed the ladies, when he would
return, the passengers and several of the deck
hands made a rush for and swamped it, all who
were in It at tLe time going to the bottom, ex
cept the captain, who seized a fender aud again
resumed the work of saving the passengers by
building floats.
His conduct, as well as that of the other offi
cers of the boat, and the oUicers of the steamer
Columbian, which passed the wreck two hours
after the accident occurred and rescued the sur
vivors. Is hltrhlv commended.
The oilicersof tho Belle Memphis report the
wreck as still smoking when they passod. They
also state that the accident occurred one mile
from Randolph's Landing, that being the nearest
point where skiffs were obtainable; also, that
several persons were saved by citizens in that
vicinity, and were, with the remainder of the
survivors, taken to Cairo.
About 10 o'clock A. M., on the 19th, she struck
a snag in the chute of Island No. 35, and com
menced sinking sloffly, remaining on the snag,
despite all efforts to back her off and get her to
shore. Every effort was made to stop the leak
without success, when arrangements were made
to send passengers and crew ashore in
the boats. The were all safely placed in the
yawl and as many passengers as it was deemed
vafe were plated in charge of Walter Maratta,
lerk. before these arrangements were com
plete, the steamer careened, upsetting the stoves
and setting fire to the cabin. As the flames were
seen bursting forth, Captain Maratta and the
officers could not restrain the affrighted crowd,
who jumped into the yawl before it could be
sent beyond their reach, and was swamped, and
all on board were probably lost, as the yawl
turned bottom upward, and just then the flames
drove those remaining on board to other parts
f the boat, and the yawl was seen no more.
Efforts were belnj made at the same time to
launch the life-boat from the hurricane deck,
but the flames prevented that, and then doors,
planks, bales of cotton, and debris even made
use -of, by all who could, to reach the shore.
Pilot Attenborougb, Mate Caleb Maratta, and
the captain assisted everybody possible with
such means of saving themselves, and after all
were gone, Maratta reached the wheel, and re
mained until taken off by skiffs from shore.
Mate Caleb Maratta, Pilot Attenborougb, three
passengers, first chambermaid, and first cook
found barely room on the narrow strip of the
forecastle, sheltered from the flames by casks of
wine, which they prevented burning by throw
ing on water with their hats, until they were
taken off by skiffs from shore.
As there were no bouses nearer than one mile,
no assistance could reach them until the boat
vi a.n bunk, aDd all above the water consumed
except the narrow strip spoken of.
The people on shore rendered every assistance
possible, picking up those in the river and help
ing those already on the shore.
The steamer Columbian, Captain William
Barnes, bound for St. Louis, arrived two hours
afterward, and picked up every one who could
be found, and brought them to Cairo. Many
were without shoes, coats, or hats, having
thrown them off to assist themselves in reaching
shore. The officers of the Columbian supplied
these necessaries, and treated all so kindly that
the survivors are loud in their praise. It is pos
sible that some of the missing were taken to
v farm houses, somo miles from the river, and are
safe.
The steamer's hull lies in eighteen feet water,
with her bow still on the snag, about eighty feet
lroin the Tennessee shore, above the point, In
the foot of the chute.
BURNED AT THE STAKE.
One Hundred and fifty Ant mala PerUa by
Ftre In a Dairy Heavy Ltn Canaed by an
Incendiary.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Fob. 21 says:
We mentioned yesterday morring that as we
went to press the light ef a large fire was visible
in the northeastern horizon. The light was a
strange one, and, as seen from the river bank at
the foot of Lawrence street, might almost have
been mistaken for the aurora borealis. The phe
nomenon was caused by the burning of the barn
and stables of Washington Dairy, No. 1, owned
by B. Cavagna & Son, the well-known grocers
of No. 31 West Fifth stroet. The farm is situ
ated on Dock creek, on the Montgomery road,
opposite the camp-nxeetlng ground, about four
miles from Cincinnati and one mile this side of
Sharpsburg.
The Dairy used to look not unlike a Florida
town as one approached it in the distance, with
its neat residence, oifthouses, and extensive
stables. There was one horse stable one hun
dred and thirty feet in length by fifty in width,
and forty-five feet high, the upper portion being
used for the storage of hay. ' The cattlo stables
were three in number, one used for the milch
icows being about one hundred and fifty by fifty
feet, and the others occupied by Mr. Cavagna s
prize bulls and cattle wintering, small substan
tial buildings. There was also a large barn
stored with grain, middlings, etc. The horso
stable and cow stable which are destroyed were
worth 18, 000.
It was 2 o'clock' on Sunday morning when
"Andrews," a man who bos boon in Mr. Ca
vagna's employ for ten or twelve years, was
awakened by a great light and the barking of
the dogs, and discovered that the three fated
buildings were in flames. They seemed to have
biased up at once, eacu oe.ing already on fire in
several places, leaving, in connection with the
quiet Sunday morning hour, little doubt that an
incendiary had done the devilish work. To
arouse Mr. Anthony ' Cavagna, who, with his
wife, resided on the farm, and the ten or twelve
hands employed there, was the work of a mo
ment, but it was seen at once that all efforts to
save the cows would be useless.
A strong wind was blowing and the entrances
to the stables were already wrapped in names,
The cisterns were inside the stables and could
not tie apprcacnea. uno desperate euort was
made to release some of the 121 much cows, of
line breed, that were being roasted olive. ' Seve
ral were released, but only one could be gotten
out. the remaining 1:20 being burnt alive. ' The
horse stable could not be entered, over 200 tons
of bay, stored aloft and in tho connecting barn
burning with frightful rapidity and heat, and
forbidding near approach, i ourteen of the fine
large mules for which Mr. Cavagna has been
long noted, and for a pair of which he recently
refused tlOOO, three line colts, and fifteen fine
calves, wero consumed. With this portion of
tt e property went several wagons, ten or twelve
set- of harness, fifty or sixty tons ol grain and
feed, plows and farming Implements of all kinds.
A stable, containing two cows in process of fat
tening, stood near the bull stable, which fortu
niitely lay about thirty-five fleet to wludward,
and whs protected by dint of throwing bucket
fulls of water upon it. The residence, also to
windward, was likewise kept drenched. The
bulls, three in number, and valued at t'AKX) each,
were led out of danger.
In ono hour and a half nothing but burning
embers remained at Washington Dairy No. 1,
long known favorably in Cincinnati by the
quality of its milk and butter.
At 5 o'elock Sunday morning Mr. Oxvagna
was aroused by a loud knocking at the front
door of his residence, and informed of his loss
by the milkman who had awakened him. lie
drove with his son Pierre at once to the hideous
scene hideous because amid the blackening
embers lay the still burning carcasses of his
favorite horses, mules, and cows. It was a sick
ening sight, and came near breaking down the
old man's spirit, for many wero favorite ani
mals, ami soimc of rare breed that money could
scarcely replace.
CUR A.
The. l'nptaln-.eneral and the Vnliintrrrtt -Ke-eent
Trouble In ;ardcnna-Exeeutlon of
Cuban 1'rlnonera.
Havana, Saturday, Feb. 19 The irrepres
sible volunteers are beginning to "haul in their
horns" to a certain extent, and they are no
longer permitted to have their ownway In every
thing. KodaB has not surrendered to them in a
single instance, and if the Spaniards are once
enabled to retire their troops from the seat of
war, or if a respectable force of regulars should
be quartered In Havana, the Government will
quietly but firmly take the power once more in
its own hands. Rodas will not permit the rabble
to constitute Itself judge, jury, accuser, and
hangman. Seven volunteers who had com
mitted various crimes, from attempts to assassi
nate to burglary, were sent by the last steamer
to Spain as prisoners for Ccuta; among them was
the drum major of the 7th Battalion. Five
members of the 5th Volunteer Battalion who
were connected with the cowardly and brutal
assassination of Oreenwald are in the Cabana;
their friends go from house to house aud threaten
to wreak vengeance on the persons of such as
should dare to declare against the assassins; but,
nevertheless, I have no doubt that the Govern
ment will be enabled to accumulate sufficient
testimony in order to shoot the principals con
nected with the assassiqation.
! THE TROIHILK IN CARDENAS.
The row In Cardenas, or rather the one at
tempted, ended very ludicrously. The Gov
ernor and people demanded that the Govern
ment grant the necessary permission to hold a
fair, which was acceded to. But the Governor
of Cardenas, instead of holding simply a fair,
sold permission to some gamblers to opcu their
establishments, and monte, faro, and other
hazard games were openly carried on. Tho
Captain-General heard of it, and immediately
sent to Col. Arnaor.the Govcrnor.an order to hold
himself in readiness, and report himself at
Santiago de Cuba for further orders. The vol
unteers hearing of this action, sent a telegram
to the Captain-General requesting him to annul
his order, and declaring that they would not
have any other Governor except the one who
had just accepted bribes to allow gambling. The
Governor himself telegraphed to the Captain
General that evening that six thousand people,
between volunteers and cilizous, were then
before the palace, all of them anxious that be
(Arnaor) should remain. Rodas replied coolly:
"Never mind the six thousand ; you will take the
first tiain In the morning and come to Havana, de
livering vour command on receipt of tills. If any
thing Is 'committed contrary to law In your city, I
shall take measures to have the offenders seriously
punished."
Did the volunteers rebel ? Nothing of the
sort. Tho commanders of the different volun
teer battalions sent a telegram to Rodas on the
following morninz. disavowing, on behalf of
themselves and their commands, any complicity
the telegram saia to nave oeen iorwarueu.
Rodas grinned, and that ended the matter,
except that Colonel Arnaor, as an old friend
and acquaintance of Rodas, has beeu more
severely punished than any other officer would
have been.
TUB SCHOONER HERALD.
The Nassau schooner Herald, which drifted on
the reefs near Gibarra on the 10th inst., during a
heavy norther, had thirty-six Cubans on board,
among tnem two coiorea men ana a uninatnan.
The expedition was commanded by General
Goicourla, of Lillian, etc., fame, and if the
norther had not interfered, the schooner and
her cargo would undoubtedly have been lauded
at runt a de Aiuius. me captain oi mo scnooner
was Ely Camaeho, the former Purser of the
steamer Comanditario, which was captured by
him, and then rccaptuaed by the Spaniards, and
s now doing duty as a gunooat unaer tne name
of the Gorrion. The Gibarra volunteers, after
landing such arms from the wrecked schoouer
as they could get out, went in search of tho fili
busters, and managed to meet them at the Rcs
balona and Sierra de Socarena. They killed
seven and captured four, who were executed at
liolguin on the nin inst. one ot the four had
been u clerk in the Havana Post Office, two were
telegraph operators in Havana, and the fourth
was a ship carpenter from Rcgla. After landing
they were rciniorcea oy ten Cubans, commanded
by Priscilliano Cardet, who was killed in the
first encounter. Tho filibusters resisted bravely,
killing two Gibarra volunteers and several sol
diers, besides a number wounded. It is stated
by the Diario that the remainder of the expedi
tion was surrounded in the Sierra de Socarono,
and that they would not be able to escape.
Those who were shot stated that every man on
discmbaiklng took only a rlllo and twenty-one
roundd of ammunition.
SANTA ANNA.
The veteran Santa Anna is still in the city. A
dan is maturing to smuggle him out of the cltv
by some means and enablo him to reach Mexico.
Should his friends attempt to do this, they
would find but very little difficulty in carrying
out the idea. Should this not be done, how
ever, Santa Anna may be found within a few
days in Nassau.
THE NEW GUNBOATS.
The new gunboats have replaced the men-of-
war which have done duty as cruisers aud
blockadors. TLe Astuto, cruising on the south
side, discovered an insurgent camp near Santa
uruz del sur, ana went mere lor troops, me
gunboat could not go near enough to shell, so
tne troops were eniuarKea on a ngnier, a cannon
Dlaced on it. ana tue camn attacked on the morn
ing of the 11th, resulting in the killing of two
Cubans, tne nurning ot several nouses, and tne
capture of a Cuban yacht, which, as tho JJiario
observes, caused great satisfaction in Santa
Cruz, as this yacht bad kept all passing mer
chant vessels In a continual state of alarm. How
is this? Tho JJlario. or any other Spanish jour
nal, never mentioned that an old sailboat could
frighten Spanish sailors, and that the Cuban
squadron was no myth. But if the JJiario would
tell what it knows It would say that over twenty
five craft of different tonnage are making regu
lar trips between Nassau, Jamaica, Haytl, and
the coasts of this island, and that some of them
beat the Spanish Correo in tho regularity of
their trips.
Tho telegraph between India and England
still makes very bad work of its despatches.
Captain Shcrard Osborn, a few weeks ago, re
ceived tho following: "Bombay, Jan. 2(5.
Children arrived. Wanted company with Eastern
off Elgin Bay, Jan. 2. Well. Crulkshauk,"
which required some little translation before
telling its simple story, that the Chlltern had
reached Bombay after parting company with
the Great Eastern off Algoa Bay.
THE THEATRICAL TANIC.
Another Hon Oollnnned Tammany 6oea
I tider Three nuianliv In One Wffk.
The few people who delight in the naked
drama, and who assembled last evening at the
fiortals of Tammany to enjoy the unadorned
umry of "Tho Seven," found that stately insti
tution unlit and unopened. The calciums were
out, the big banner was down, the coronet of
gas was extinguished. A couplo of disconsolate
bill boys stood against the doors, who said they
were waiting to see Mr. Grovcr.
It seems that Tammany was closed because
the "Glorious Seven" did not draw people
enongh tho night before to pay the gas bills. A
notice was stuck up on the stage early in the
morning yesterday to the effect that the place
would be closed for two weeks. The company,
who bad not been paid for the current week,
and several of whom claim back dues, were
naturally agitated, and during the day raado
numerous applications at the bnsiuess office to
see Mr. Grovcr, but without effect. This col
lapse was not unexpected In other quarters.
The creditors of the establishment made a
complaint that nolody was ever to bo found;
that tho office was guarded by nsbers, who
telegraphed up stairs and reported Mr. Grovcr
invariably to bo out. It was further said by
interested parties that the institution had cleared
$40,000 the first two months, but that misman
agement had squandered the income. Various
and curious rumors about the establishment
were afloat for months past, when the grand Issue
of stock was made, and tho town was aston
ished ono morning by the reduplicated injunc
tion to invest Its money In the New York A muse
men tCompany.
! About six hundred dollars' worth of this stock
was sold, and each note bore one or more cou
pons of admission to the N. V. A. Company's
places of amusement, tjulto a shock was ex
perienced on Saturday night last when the
holders of these coupons were refused admit
tance to Tammany, and were told that the house
had been sold. This proceeding is understood
to have outraged Mr. Jarrctt's sense of pro
priety, and he made a vigorous remonstrance
with the director, and to have Indirectly brought
about tbc closing np of the establishment. Mr.
Grovcr Is now out of the concern, and Is said to
have left tho city yesterday for Philadelphia.
The members of the company and tho bill
boys feel aggrieved of course, aud the holders
of stock are understood to be watching the
market nervously. An enterprising reporter of
penny paper, hearing that lammany was
closed, undertook to Interview one of these
same bill-boys, but failing to get any definite
information, started off to the hotel on the
corner of Twelfth street and Broadway, to find
Rose Massey. That member of the "Glorious
Seven" was attiring herself for the Leiderkranz
ball, and had to conduct the interview throngh a
half-mile speaking tube, which interview
amounted to this:
Reporter Were any of the company nt Tam
many paid?
voice i es, one.
Reporter Who was that?
Voice Alice Harrison, "Go 'way; I'm getting
my back hair rolled."
The summary failure of the entertainment at
Tammany to draw a respectable audience is
another warning to managers trial iNow lorn is
not vet prepared for the blackguard forms of
amusement which have found favor in European
capitals. To-day's World.
A SAD STORY.
A Newark Damsel Relerta an Honest Hnltor
and Vd a Felon The Bride of an Hoar
Itecontra a Kixvln Maniac.
Seven years ago, in tho city of Newark, N. J.,
soon after the breaking out ot the war, among
the soldiers quartered at camp reiinguuysca
was a young man ot rather dashing appearance,
named Charles Riley, or "Plucky" Riley, as he
was called by nis comrades and acquaintances.
Among the visitors was a young gin just
merging into blooming, prepossessing wman
hood, numcd Hannah Dolan. In tho ordinary
course of events pretty Hannah . beeamo
acquainted with young Riley, whose offhand
manner, that passes In a certain class of society
for manliness, had tho effect on Hannah of
effacing all proper remembrance of a fine young
fellow, a sailor to whom she was betrothed.
His name was Edward Boal, a boatswain s mate
in the navy. In due time Hannah and her
"bould soger boy" wero loined in the bands of
matrimony by a clergyman in the presence of
ncr menus.
Tho newly married couple started from the
scene of the wedding in a carriuge en route for
a honeymoon trip, for which Riley had obtained
leave of absence, but bad not been gone more
than an hour when the carriage was overhauled
by the police detectives, and the groom-elect
arrested and lodged in jail to await a trial
on several grave charges, among which was for
gery and bounty-jumping. He was tried, found
guilty, ana sentencea to serve a long term in
the State Prison. The young bride, as may
well be imagined, was driven almost to distrac
tion, and to add to her overflowing cup of
misery came tho intelligence that Riley had
already a wife living at the time of his marriage
to her.
About eighteen months afterwards her first
love, young Beal, returned from sea. He mar
ried a woman considerably older than himself,
Hannah's relatives allege, out of shocr spite.
Tills last disappointment was the lost straw that
broke the camel's back. Poor Hannah was
gradually losing her reason, and recently became
at times a raving maniac, so that it was dan
gerous to live with her. On Tuesday night she
became so violent in her actions, and threaten
ing to murder herself and everybody else, that
her sister, Mrs. Isaac M. Demott, of No. 03
Newark street, with whom she lived, was com
pelled to call in an officer and have the unfortu
nate maniac removed to the station-house.
Thither she was taken, and the necessary papers
were made out, and the poor victim of man's
deceit, cruelty, and inhumanity removed to the
State Asylum at Trenton. Riley is said to have
died in the State Prison since his incarceration.
THE CHINESE.
Ittrr from John Htuart Mill.
The San Francisco Bulletin publishes the fol
lowing lettor from John Stuart Mill to a friend
in that city, explaining his views on Chinese
immigration:
Avionon, Thursday, Jan. 20, 1870. Dear
Sir: I beg to acknowledge your letter of No
vember 21.
I think you must have been misinformed as to
the purport of the letter which I addressed, on
the 23d of October, to a California citizen who
had asked my opinion on the subject of the Chi
nese immigration. I certainly said that the
settlement, in large numlors, of a population in
a lower state of civilization, and willing
to work for a lower rate of remuneration,
would have a tendency to deteriorate the condi
tion of the native laborer for wages, aud would,
so far, on general principles, justify restraints
on Immigration; but I urired. as a greatly pre
ferable course, to endeavor, by education, to
raise the Chinese population to the levol of tho
American; and it Is with trrcat pleasure I learn
from your letter that this is already being at
tempted with somo success. The only mea
sure of distinction which I did advocate was
tho enforcement of strlngont laws against
lutroduciiig Chinese under contract to work
for particular persons, which is a form
of compulsory labor that is, oj slavery. I
should greatly deprecate the institution of a
Chinese for an American population In all the
departments of manual labor, the Chinese re
malning what thojp are; but I distinctly stated
lu my letter that so long, at least, as the bulk of
the Immigrants return eventually to their own
country, "tho opportunity given to numerous
Chinese of becoming familiar with better and
more civilized habits of life is one of the beet
chances that can bo opened np for the improve
in nt of the Chincso in their own country, and
one which it does not seem to me that it would
be right to withhold from them."
1 am, dear sir, yours, very faithfully,
J J. 8. Mux.
ANOTHER STORM IS WALL STREET.
4 Sold Propping to lltt-A Keene of Kflte
nient The Market Kooning Dawn of Its Own
WrlahU
Wall street was treated to a lively sensation
in the Gold Room yesterday. It vividly recalled
the tempestuous scenes which characterized the
roemorablo September financial equinoctial.
The transactions were on a scale of great mag
nitude, Aggregating many millions, and were
conducted with intense excitement. The ex
treme heaviness of tho price on Wednesday
night gave Indications of a still more feverish
market yesterday. At an early hour a number
of operators hastened to throw cverboard their
gold purchased a higher figures.
The effect was a quick decline of nearly one
per cent., when the bears began offering large
amounts, which It was soon apparent the street
wonld.not purchase at current prices.' Tho pre
sent condition of the market is a novel one, and
entirely unlike tho Septembor whirlwind. Then,
the large Importing interest was short of gold;
but now it is loaded up at prices ranging from
1U0 down to 120. .
Thc'.importcrs, soon nftcr tho severe lesson of
September hist, determined they would not be
again caught in the meshes of Wall stroet specu
lation, and consequently commenced buying
gold for future requirements, preferring to incur
tbc risks of a decline to the sharp twist which a
bull movement might devise. The short inte
rest, therefore, of the commercial classes, which
has heretofore been tho chief basis for a suc
cessful upward speculation, Is on the bull side;
while the operators in the Gold Room have re
versed their tactics, nnd are chiefly ranged with
the cliques operating for a decline The market
yesterday consequently exhibited but little
streugth, as, in fact, a majority of tho specu
lators In the room arc short.
The clique formed for the purpoe of advanc
ing the market kept themselves aloof from the
transactions of the Room, each combination
being indisposed to rally prices, lest some clique
loaded up at higher figures might take advan
tage of any rise to sell off. This apprehension
has also prevented new combinations being
formed to check the downward tendency, and
hence the market has not onlv received no on-
position to its decline, bnt has been really
assisted by the temporary withdrawal of parties
speculating lor a successtui upward movement
The weakness of a large number of operators in
the Gold Room also prevents any attempts at
checking the decline; and the bears therefore
appear to have the market entirely under their
control.
Tho principal short interest created yesterday
aiternoon was made by active purchases lor lm
porters, who appeared anxious to average pre
vlous investments at higher figures, as well as
being attracted by the haavy decline. Tho
market at the close left off heavy, and a further
decline to-day would seem probable. A. 1
Hun, to-day.
HOLD R0BRERY.
The Vice-President of a New Jersey llank
Kobbed of Over Seven Thousand Dollars An
Adroit Thief.
Yesterday afternoon a bold robbery was perpe
trated in the Bub-.treasury building, by wnicu
the adroit thieves netted over $7000. The vic
tim of the robbery is Mr. William Dunham.
Vice-President of the National Bank of New
Brunswick, N. J., who came to this city yester
day for the purpose of transacting some busi
ness on behalf of that bank.
He visited several offices and monetary insti
tutions, the Park National Bank among the
number. When Mr. Dunham left the Park
Bank he had in his possession a morocco travel
ling satchel, containing over $7000 in United
States coupon bonds, aud currency amounting
to nearly $3 JO. He proceeded direct from the
Park Bank to the office oi the Sub-Treasury,
which is situated at the corner of Nassau and
Wall streets. Ho entered the room devoted to
the redemption of currency, and placed the mc
rocco Eatchel containing the bonds and cur
rency on a desk.
At this juncture a stranger stepped np to him
and directed his attention to a set of printed
rules posted up against tho wall. The old gen
tleman turned about to read the card, and when
he had finished the perusal he turned again and
reached for his satchel, bnt it had disappeared.
Mr. Dunham raised an alarm, but the thieves
had decamped. It is supposed that the stranger
who called his attention to tho rales was the
man who had stole the satchel, and had doubtless
followed Mr. Dunham from the Park Bank,
waiting an opportunity to obtain possession of
the satchel. The bonds contained lu the satchel
are described as follows:
Ono bond of 1804. . . .$1000'Twclve bonds of 1807.13000
One bond of 18B.V... lotio TUree bonds of 18tf7. 150
Three bonds of 1667. 8(XH
Two bonds of 1SCJ.. looo' Total 17350
It was subsequently ascertained that two
strangers entered the office immediately after
Mr. Dunham, and these men are supposed to
have stolen the satchel and contents. There are
no detectives on the floor in which the office
where the robbery was committed Is situated,
aud this room can be reached without passing
through tho rotunda where the deteetivos are
usually stationed. iV. 1". Times, Uiit morning.

Special Dmpaleh to The Xmiing TiUgrapK
Hariuhboho, Feb. 85. The Governor has
sent the following veto message to the House:-
! "Executive Chamber, IlAimisncna, Feb.
24, 1870. It is with considerable reluctance that
I return to tho House in which it originated, -without
approval, 'An act to create a commis
sion and establish, erect, and maintain a house
of correction, employment, and refprmation for
adults and minors in Philadelphia.'
"I believe Philadelphia ought to have a House
of Correction, and consider the present bill
reasonably well adapted for the objects in
tended, but ont of defcrcneo to the almost unani
mous protest of City Councils, and the assurance
that the important matter should receive very
prompt action, I withhold my approval. Should
they fail for ono year to take the necessary
steps for the establishment of the institution, I
shall take the liberty to approve of any proper
legislation for the purpose.

THE NKW YOUKftlUNKY 01AHHKT.
From the X. Y. Herald. ' '
"The excitement in financial circles 'to-day re.
colled the days of last September, when every eye
was airccieu to tue nuciuaimnB on me gom tuai.
The galleries of the Cold Room were, as tlicu,
thronged by an anxious crowd, while the amphi
theatre was dense with brokers. .
- "The feverish tone of the market at the opening;
the feeling being the bequest of the previous day's
decline prepared the deolers for a still further
downward movement The first regular quotation
was 117,, from which tho priee run rapidly down
to lie, a vision of specie payments within a week,
almost startling the terrified 'bulls' ont of their
senses. There are hundreds of men lu Wall street
Americans by birth and vaunt who, paradoxically,
are always on the -bull- side of gold, and are ever
belittling the country, the Government, and the
finances. Such people are tho victims of the pre
sent decline. In the long list of failures during the
winter there wero many houses with this same '
gloomy mental view of the Government who were : i
constantly looking for the utter demoralisation of
the currency and a rise in gold to enormous figures. I
All these classes of commercial speculators and gold ' i
gamblers have been shipwrecked and laid np high . ,
and dry by the sudden subsidence of the premium
on gold. The market had two distinct movement - (
to-day. It first went off to Ui on the sale of t
'long' gold, which was literally poured upon the i
market. It will be remembered that In the bank
statement last week the curious discrepancy be- ' )
tween the small loss of specie by the banks and the i
customs payments of the week was explained on , ;
the hypothesis that the decline of gold below 120
had theu brought out vast stores of gold hoarded in
lamllles, In merchants' safes, and like private '
sources. This forenoon there were large sales of the i
same kind of gold. The effect was the decline to ;
llrtjr, the speculators selling out as weiU In the
afternoon the price reacted to 117, but upon the re- 1
ceipt of the news that the (Senate had unanimously ' - (
adopted a resolution declaring against further in- ,
nation of the currency, and on its becoming known
that Secretary Itoutwell had bought one million , r
of bonds at the Sub-Treasury In addition to the - -million
solicited, another gcnil-panlc set In and the
price tumbled to lie.',', which is the lowest since -t
August, 1862. Inasmuch as the general rate paid for
'carrylog' to-day was 4,',.viB per cent., tho market '
seems as yet without a short interest. Exception- '
ally, as high as seven percent, was paid to have gold 1
carried, which was two per cent above tho rate for ,
money on call. The gold sold within the past few :
days has simply passed into the hands of a new line'
of buyers, who, as they are fresher in the market
and have unimpaired margins, can make a better
fight: but as the demand for gold is limited to the
few hundred thousand dollars requisite daily to
pay customs, and as exchange Is without tone or
llrmnees despite the decline, the market closed weak
at the usual reaction from so great a fall. It was
even said that Secretary Houtwell' is preparing sta
tistics to show that our exports for the expired six
mouths of the current fiscal year are thirty million
In excess of our imports. It Is not stated, however,
whether the exports Included shipments of five
twenties, the quotation for which advanced to 90 in
London to-aay, ana, with the nenate resolution,
assisted In the 'break' to 1101,'. The operations of
the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows: Gold
cleared fS7,44ft,0O0; gold balances, f 1,378,301; cur
rency balances. $1,700,792. , .
"In the Government list there was again a sympa
thetic movement with gold, the decline of one and
a half per cent In which produced a decline or
about a half per cent, in the newer issues. In the
old bonds the 81 's quotations were for a time over
a half percent higher than gold, which Is the first
time sluce our great national debt was created that 1
our bonds have gone beyond par m gold." . , ,t ,:
