The decline In gold was the great topic yesterday
In Wall street. A feeling prevailed for several days
before that thostandant or values. If It might be so
vailed, would enter upon an upward course and bob
wound In tho neighborhood of 120. It touched
lU'i before the day closed. The persistent ten
dency, however, of gold to descend caused all
the exoitement which made the Gold Koom
yesterday the scene of an much turmoil as
J-harscUirlKed the fainuua days of the latter part of
UiM September. All the bulls could do failed to
airect the heavy gravity of gold. The Gold Hooiu
was a place of most extraordinary excitement.
The familiar fountain In the centre of that great
resort of the untamable bulla and bears plashed
an peacefully as usual, and sent Its freshening
volumes of spray over the weary and tired lounger
who hung round Its bonier. The way the bulla
and beam behaved yesterday would have con
founded the most intelligent foreigner. They
literally danced and howled, roared fiercely
at each other, as if each was about to
ny at the other's throat, shouted louder than
It waa thought possible human lungs could with
stand, and otherwise behaved in a very bewildering
and delirious manner. It was generally admitted
that the tendency of gold was downwards; bat few,
however, cave credit to the notion that it was about
to descend at once to par. To reach that point it
whs easy enough to perceive that fifty dlirerent
rjinspK lav in the wav the small share of bullion in
the Treasury, the likelihood ot Imports exceeding
the figures at which they have been recorded iu the
last quarter, the suspense felt In regard to
Conirressloual legislation and other thin era that
mike an element In the aggregate Influence,
nevertheless, a belief appeared to prevail
that cold was destined to go to loo in a rush, and, at
a consequence, much trepidation was felt among
those who had held imported stocks purchased at a
higher rate than 1W. Yet, after all, it may be safely
net down that our merchants, who feel themselves
somewhat imperilled by this rapid and low decline
of gold, are better Batlstled, though they may suffer
in the ordeal, to see our finances tending quickly to
their normal basis than If they had to wait the
tedious process of Governmental resumption of
specie .payments.
The spectator's gallery of the Gold Exchange was
crowded to suffocation with an anxious or curious
outsiders. In tne nit below, or. In other words.
In the arena where the gold brokers yell like
a set of devils all the Interest centered. The urn
wAn nt-rfnctlv terrille. A pantomime of Fox's, with
all the harum scarum elements exaggerated, gives
but a faint Idea of the utter confusion, the madness
controlled by method that charactttriy.es the Gold
Koom. They shouted across the fountain space like
ho many maniacs challenging each other to more
than mortal combat. They did not tear their hair
or pull their .fancy whiskers to pieces, but they
strained their vocal powers to breaking. The spec
tators were as much excited as the operators, and
if they only hail a little training in the ways of the
place juight have gone in as ardently as the others.
At the Cotton Exchange there was a good deal of
excitement also, for, sympathizing with gold the
great Southern staple had declined several cents
per pound, and many brokers were unusualiv exer
cised in the endeavor to dispose of their orders to
advautage. Gold will continue to foster excite
ment some time longer in Wall street before it is
finally quieted and brought to IU legitimate level.

THE MONARCH.
A ltecepllnn on the 43rent Ship The Monarch
as Opposed to a monitor.
A correspondent of the Baltimore American
writes as follows In that paper of yesterday:
As the Phlox approached with the visiting party
on board the "blue Jackets' were "piped'' to the
.upper deck, and at a given signal ascended the rope
ladders until they reached the cross-yards, where
they disposed of themselves 24 on each lower yard
1(1 on each top-sail yard, and 8 on each top-gallanr.
vard one hundred and Ufty men In all were aloft.
An oillcer below Rave them many admonitions to
"keep quiet" snd "cease talking," and also gave a
couple of boys on the top-sail yard of the mi.zen
mast very peremptory orders to "put their feet
closer together."
In the meantime the marines, in bear-skin caps
and little red plumes, that look precisely like shav
' ing brushes, and the marines in cloth huts with
itule black plumes that greatly resemble door knobs,
and stand up about as stlfliy, were drawn up on the
.quarter-deck. The l'hlox was lashed to the big
uhlp, the plank was thrown across, aud General
Shurrnan and his party came on board, the jand
playing three measures of "Hall Columbia," and the
murines presenting arm, iuo uunarea inn nuy
"blue Jackets," in the rigging, were "piped" down,
and the formal reception was over.
J am not well posted in the history of the arts of
attack and defense in naval warfare, but I am under
the Impression that tne guns are at proseut a little
ahead ; that is, no armor applicable to the sides of a
uhlp has yet been Invented thut is impervious to the
shots of the heavy guns that are carried by the ves
sels of war. There was a irreat trial at Hhrewsburv-
ness, England, a year or two ago, in whlnh all the tar
gets representing the walls of an lmu-clad ship of the
strongest build were utterly demolished by the heavy
ttmootu-bore Armstrong guns. This being the facl.tho
the best ship-of-war Is such an one which cannot be
at all, or presenting Biich a surface that the projec
tiles will inevitably glauce off. Applying this prin
ciple to the Monarch, X do not regard her as a shin
before which ail other vessels of war ruuHt lower
their flags in humble obeisance. In her exposed
wides, three hundred aud fifty feet long, It would be
strange if a bolt could not be started aud a shot put
through her some place near the water line. Iu
mien a vast surface there must lie some weak spots.
In close quarters I do not think that horguus
could be suillclcntly depressed to strike the sides
of a monitor at all. The turrets would be
the nart exposed to her fire. In an engage
ment between the Monarch ami Ampliltrito, fur
instance, the tight would be like that between a
(lin e bear aud active and vicious buil-dog. The
bear would stuud upon his hind legs and deliver
some heavy blows, but thev would be above the
dog's head, and would not hurt him. The Amphi-
irno woum nireci ner suoi at me juonurcn s ruts,
near the water Hue ; there would Ihs no possibility
of missing the mark, and when one of the terrible
mlsshes would take etlect it would be In a vital spot.
.Should the monitor find herself In range or her an
tagonist's guns, ho could whirl around as
if her rudder was a ptvof, and got
ou of the way, while the Monarch would have
to descrliKsa circle with a radius of half a mile to
nerfonu thesame evolution. The average American
ooy, who has been reading up the sa fights as de-
acrioed in tne scnooi maturing, confidently believes
that two monitors, commanded roHncr.i.ivHiff hv
.lohn Paul Joucb and Stephen Decatur, sould whip
tho Monarch in less than thirty miuutos. This Is a
good, honest, patriotic faith, even if it is not founded
on the most extensive information, and I rather
Incline to it niyscii.
The Monarch would have this advantage should
her engines become disabled, she Is a sailing vossel
and could still contluue the flgUt on the other hand.
should her masts and rigging be shot away, as long
as her engines remained In working order she would
not miss them, aud would only become helpless
whn both masts and engines were destroyed.
When the engines of the Amphitrlte are disabled.she
Is a helpless wreck, rolling In the sea at the mercy
of the waves. The monitors are constructed on the
theory that no shot ever will reach their sugines.
Nevertheless the Mouarch is a great whip. She
ran cross the ocean, sail around the world, am:
nnrsno her enerov from sea to sea, while the mom

The Monarch Is also a trreat ship in her comfort

rooms such as are only found in the houses of the
more opulent denlnens of the shore. They dine on
oiled walnut tables, and sleep in state on patent
spring mattresses. For genteel living, for entertain

Bcrener: I salute you again this morning,
having returned to a city and a Legislature
which yon ana your associates are iaei. uiumus
odious and Infamous by your file practices. 8o
Infamous, that the public, when tbey see that
you, you yourself, without exposure until now,
have made a sum out of tho sweat of the peo
ple sufficient to build a State Capitol iu any
square in Philadelphia, will be astouuded, and
you had. better, prepare to meet the
scorn and righteous indignation which your con
duct so Justly deserves. In my first letter I
promised to give the peoplo some of the items
from the Auditor-General's oillco of j our re
corded peculations, Tho unrecorded oucs of
which 1 epoke will, in all probability, bu
covered by an impenetrable veil until the great
day of accounts for under the laws of Penn
sylvania yon are a close corporation. Deacon

It mut be borne in mind, while contemplating
this vast sum, that you have claimed and been
allowed the monopoly of furnishing all the de

which may bo safely aggregated at, for ten
years, the sum of .r0,000, which, added to 1153,
500, makes the princely sum of $2(J8,500 you
have drawn from the State Treasury since 1861,
saying nothing about tons upon tons of your
worthless Legislative Jlecord which jrou sold to
the paper makers, and pocketed the proceeds,
after you had received pay from tho State at the
rate of fifteen dollars a page.
In addition to this, Deacon Bcrgnor, yon have
been l.'OBtmaster of iiarrisburg for six years, a
place that a crippled 6oldier and an honest man
should have enjoyed, at an aggregate salary of
tl8,!500. While Postmaster you had a share in
a majority of the contracts given during tho Uc
belllon to a favored class of Kcpublicans of llar
rlnburg, from which it is popularly asserted and
believed you made $ir0,000. You have had a
monopoly of all the advertising done for ten
years past by the United Slates Government at
Ilarrisburg, which practical printers assure me
was worth to you 410,000. You have been doing
the printing and advertising for Dauphin county
for fifteen years, for which you received $10,000
profit. This snows, in round figures, that you
nave received irom tne National, state, ana
Dauphin county treasuries, in ten years, the
sum of 3'.tS,80tt.
Nor is this all. ov have bad a prout on all

the amounts of money you drew from tho State
from the reports of the Auditor-General. On
one occasion, alter you had been paid an ac

entitled to, ana were compelled to return to tho
btatc the sum oi wiucu you sought to cheat it,
and U was no easy job to compel you
to disgorge. Mv information as to your
other receipts of public money, I believe, is
correct and reliable. You may have beeu in
secret schemes of plunder outside of your law

certainly are engaged as a constant borer In the
lobbies of the Legislature, where you pass your
time during the session of that body, instead of
remaining in the ilarrisburg l'ost Olllce attend'
ing to duties which you thus neglect, and for
which you receive an annual salary of several
thousand dollars. The Postmaster-General ought
certainly to know that the Post Office at Harris-
burg is, . to all Intents and purposes,
conducted without the presence ot its
legally appointed Postmaster; one whom nlue-
tentlis of the decent and respectable Kepubll
cans of this city repudiate, and who, if they had
the power, would hurl you from a position vou
disgrace. In conclusion, Deacon Bergner, let
mo w hinpcr in your ear, aud suggest that beforo
you go hence, you sell your ill-gotten lands and
newiy-constructea biocss, ana nave tho proceeds

often tempted members of the Legislature, and
be prepared to cheat the Devil, as this is mani
festly the beat use you are likely ever to ninke
oi it.

The Woman's Suffrage Association held their
regular monthly public meeting yesterday after
noon, In New York. It was called tp order by
Mrs. Blake.
BNTKR THE PRESIDENT.
The secretary took Grace Greenwood's letter
from the last speaker, and proceeded to read it.
While It was being read, the President, Mrs.
Wllbour, entered tho room. There was then a
little pantomime between her and Mrs. Blake
about the chair, the latter desiring to vacate,
and the former modestly declining to preside.
It ended with Mrs. Blake's remaining in the
cbalr.
Mr. Poole (to Mrs. Blake, pointing to a roll of
papers in her muff) You have got a muff full
of wisdom. Come, let us hear it.
Mrs. Blake (in dumb show) Yes presently
all right wait a bit.
Mrs. llallcck Tho chief reason why I wanted
that letter read is becuuso I have seen it fre
quently stated that women don't want to vote.
Now, let such women, if there be any, learn
what members of Congress think about them
and the ballot.
EQi:AI.ITT OP I'OWER.
Mrs. Blake moved tho following resolution
7co?PiW, That as women are affected equally
with men by the policy of the Government, it is
no more than just that they should have equal
power in controlling that policy.
In support of this resolution, Mrs. Blake said:
During the past month very great progress
has been made in tho emancipation of women.
A woman has been chosen Justice of the Peace,
and eleven women have been drafted to serve
as jurors at the ensuing sessions of a court iu
Wyoming.
1-hIZE-riGUTS TO ItR ABOLISHED.
Such disgraceful scenes as those which re
cently happened on Mystic Island can never
happen when women shall havo anything to do
with carrying out the laws.
NOT THE LAND OF THE FREE.
This is called, indeed, tho land of the free,
but the title is a false one; at least it applies to
only one-half the human race. Woman, to the
end of her life, must be a serf aud in bondage
until she gets the right to vote.
WOMEN OCOnT TO BE VNITED.
Mr. Foolc said that ns women had been called
to serve on juries, and to act as justices of the
peace, lie would aaviao tucm to prepare tncm-
selves by suitable studies to perioral au tne
duties of American citizens. It is surely com
ing that women shall vole. It would come to
day if women were united upon tho question.
WOMEN 11AKKISTEHH.
We shall soon have women lawyers, for a
woman lawyer will know much better how to
present a case to women jurors than a man
would, ana nence a woman lawyer wouia oe
very much In demand for cases in which women
acted as jurors, lie would again urge upon
women the necessity of qualifying themselves
for thcec positions, for they Knew not how soon
they might be cauca to taKc tncm.
THE DIFFERENCE.
Mrs. Dr. Ilallock There is one thins; about
women that I must complain of they do act un
mercifully towards each other. How I wish
that scandal-bearing wouia cease: Let women
stand up for their own sex. The woman who
would allow any man to say anything to her
against a woman, is a disgrace to her sex. I
have heard it said sometimes: "Oh, So-and-So
is a dreadful woman; why do you allow her to
come to your meetings t
STRIKING OUT LAWS.
If we had the ballot, I believe that nine-tenths
of the laws would be wiped out of the statute
books. They are a mass of stupid nonsense and
folly. I say that women, therefore, must stand
by their sex; they must not allow stories of scan
dal to be spoKen against mose wno wish to join
in the suffrage movement.
WOMEN AB SENATORS.
I think that women ought to form the Senate.
If it is necessary that there should be two
branches in the Legislature, why not let the
Senate be composed of women ?
THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
After some further discussion Mrs. Blake's
resolution was put and unanimously adopted.
The Other Hide The Agitator Repudiated
women7 weru-ine f amily.
The N. Y. Tribune to-day publishes a letter
from a Philadelphia correspondent signed "Lu
crctia," which will meet the cordial approval of
real women. We present a portion:
I have lust read with much pleasure. In your
issue of Feb. 23,. "An appeal from one of the
majority." I do not share the fears of the writer
that the so-called "sixteenth amendment" will
ever be adopted. I do not think that our legis
lators can be induced to lorce tne ballot upon an
immense and unwilling majority; but I do feel,
with many others, that the time has come for the
right-minded majority to mane itself heard.
The noisy, turbulent, notoriety-seeking, am
bitious, and egotistical "strong-minded" mino
rity have bad the floor to themselves long
euough. Their absurd claims to represent the
sex, which almost unanimously repudiates them,
should be refuted; and the arrogant, insolent
tone in which they urge their "reform against
nature," their "revolt against motherhood and
wifehood," and the "anarchy of sex," should be
rebuked.
I therefore hall, as a promise of good, the ap
pcaranco of communications like the one re
ferred to above, and join in the entreaty that
you will uso your powerful iHlluenco to teach
tho women of our country, what it seems mar
velous that any could ever have doubted, that
their true mission lies in tho homes provided for
them by man's loving care and protected by his
strong arm. I do not forget that many women
are denied the protection of husband and the
love of children.
For such I would express the deepest sympa
thy; but would warn them that politics will
neither afford a substitute for those holy ties
nor prove a panacea for heart sorrow. I would
urge them, after suitable preparation, to engage
in some useful work; thus will tho blessing of
peace and sweet contentment fall upon their
souls, and supply in a measure the deepest of
human wauts.
But I am reminded of the complaint that
woman's sphere of labor is so narrow that com
paratively few oan find lucrative employment.
It is far too narrow; but 1 believe it is so not
because man has circumscribed that sphere, as
is often nllegcd, but because of tho want in
woman of tho thorough training which men
receive for their work. Women alone can and
must repair this evil; not by voting, but by
faithful study and practice la the work they wish
to do. They are awakening to the necessity, and
are finding thorough preparation the :'open
sesame" to many doors.
The Women's Rights advocates claim all the
merit of having enlarged the sphere of wotnau's
labor. They have helped, and in so far as they
have, they have done a good work, for which
they should have full credit. But I am not sure
before this agitation commenced a women
would have been prevented by men from doing
whatever she had determined, and had well
prepared herself to do. We have examples of
successful efforts in new fields after suitable
preparation in Caroline Ilerschell, Mrs. Somer
ville. Rosa Bonheur, Harriet Hosmer, Maria
Mitchell, Dr. Eliz. Blackwell, and many others.
Perseverance and determined effort are as ne
cessary to woman's success as to man's.
Another charge against men is that by closing
tLi'Jr colleges against women they deny tueui
the highest literary and scientific cnltnre. This
I think an unfair charge, since not more than
one girl in ten, probably not so large a propor
tion, can no lnaucca to rciuaiu at
enough to go through the "limited" coarse
which young ladles seminnricn huw piutmo ir
them. The faultJles chiefly with mothers, who
permit their daughters to leave school as soon
as they are old enough to "go into society. As
soon as the demand for a more "eitendcd or
more "liberal" curriculum for women shall exist
the want will be supplied.
Uneof the saddest aspects oi too nunuui
Suffrage movement is the antagonistic altitude
Its advocates have taken towards men, and their
efforts to array woman in hostility against hor
niuurai protector ana iriena. ve trust iutianr
women can be made to look upon their fathers,
brothers, husbands, and sons as the "despots"
and "tyrants" some public ranters describe
them. We hope there are few who do not
realize, that it is throHgh the tenderness, gal
lantry, and loyalty of theso same guardians, that
they receive all that makes social life happy,
while to a wise, beneficent, and con
stantly Improving male legislation,
they owe their position to-day
as the honored companion and friend of man,
Instead of being in the state of slavish degrada
tion of the women of India. If noise were an
evidcuco of the sentiment of the community, it
mlirht perhaps bo imagined that the Woman's
nights movement was making the rapid tul
vanco its advocates claim. But that Is no proof
of its real growth, since the silence of tho many
enables the clamor of the few to be heard, still,
some few are being deluded. It is pitiable to
see how readily unthinking people can
be made to believe a fallacy when
pronounced In fierce, declamatory stylo;
some, for instance, are even made to
believe the statement so boldly and constantly
made in women's conventions, that woman
needs only the ballot to make her rich, wise,
and pure; and that when women shall exercise
the right to vote, poverty, ignorance, and im
purity will vatrlsh from 'the nation 1 Oh I the
credulity of some people 1 As if the ballot could
do more for woman than it has done for man 1
The degraded men of our cities exercise the bal
lot, and "repeat" tho exercise of it, on election
days, ofton enough, surely, to secure all the
benefits it can confer. It neither enriches, en
lightens, nor sanctifies them. Why should it
do more for women ? I have often asked the
question, but never received a reply more satis.

A Jcnklna a I a Jenkins He Rashe
Into Oyater and Champagne.
Madlv
The Nashville Union certainly possesses the
champion matrimonial Jenkins. Hear blm:
Having bald thus much we have given the
awful solemnity of the occasion, and strict pro
priety might dictate that we should say no more.
Vet, on this occasion, there is something more
due from us than a simple marriage announce
ment, iherelore, at the risK oi intruding upon
that privacy which we know to be as seusitive
as the aspen, and pure as the lily, we hesitating
ly write further: ihe bridal party, lea by the
Bishop in his full robes, entered tbe eastern
door, and proceeded up the aisle until he reached
the front of tbe altar. He was closely followed
by the attendants.
The groom led the mother of his bride. The
observed of all observers, the beautiful bride,
the queen of the city, the adored of relations,
the beloved of friends, the admired of all, leaned
upon her father's arm as she came into the
church. The entrance of the bridal procession
was greeted with the mnsical tones of the grand
organ nnder the magic touch of Professor
Weber, sending forth in all their sweetness the
notes of that gem from Trovatore:uAi, I've
sighed to rest me."
The Impressive ceremony of the church was
read by the bishop with all thut deep pathos
which he alone is capable of imparting la voice
and manner to words.
The specially invited guests proceeded to the
residence of Colonel McNalry, and were there
received with all thut gorgeous hospitality so
characteristic of the man and the mansion. The
eletrant parlors were thrown open;
'Music arose with Its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage bell."
Tbe delicate feet in the dance twinkled
around. The steps of the fair ones were so light
that their home seemed to be in the air, and
they only, par complaisance, touched the
ground. We conld but feel the exhilaration of
the festal occasion, when every heart was throb
bing faster than the merry tune, the soft eyes
restless, the Hps parted with eager joy, and the
lovely cheeks flushed with tbe beautiful motion
of the dance. We steal quietly in the crowd,
and see all of Nashville's radiant beauty present
to bid a fond adieu to their sister and their
queen.
There, too, we see the chivalry of our city,
full of adventurous spirit, tested oft upon the
perilous edge of battle. But it does not become
them or ourselves to speak more particularly.
We have encountered the supper-room with
all of its substantial, under the oreDaration and
management of Jonnard, the cakes and confec
tioneries, huge piles and pyramids, lotty and
beautiful, grand in proportion, ana delicate in
tracery. Lost in admiration we madly rush into
tbe rear promenade, collect a few particular
friends, swallow some oysters raw, scolloped,
stewed, and fried, console ourselves with a bottle

The Rosenberg Lunacy Cae
Court of Quarter Heeeionn Judge AUinon.
This morning the bearing in the habeas corpus
case of Louis J. Rosenberg vs. Dr. Thomas Kirk-
bride was resumed from last Saturday. It will be
remembered that Rosenberg, who is an Austrian by
birtn, and a man or some means, was 11 rat connueu
In an asylum In Ohio, which was destroyed by Are,
nnu then he was brought to this city and confined in
the Pennsylvania Hospital lor tne insane, ue com
plains that he Is unduly restrained of his liberty by
relatives who are desirous to get rid of him and to
use his property; that he is not insane, and is
aillluted with a tubercular disease, contracted during
a voyage to tne Arctic r(tgions,wiucn, 11 not property
ireuicu, win Hjieeuuy prove luiai. Atuie last Hear
ing the Court ordered that physicians should be al
lowed to examine blm, with a view of ascertain
ing wnetner ne was su tiering rrom
such a disease, and the result of such
examination, which was made on Thursduy, was
this morning given. Dr. Klrkbride said that he had
Investigated the matter, though not as an expert.
and was thoroughly convinced that the relator was
laboring under a dulusiou in regard to this matter,
and that his lungs were perfectly sound. Ho said
that when he first saw the patient a peculiar, slnls-
rer expression 01 nts lace indicated at once 111s in-
snnlty. Subsequent observations had strengthened
his belief ol the man's deraugemcnt. He bud a
decided suicidal propensity, spoke in the most
abuulve manner of every person who had beeu
connected with hU case, accusing the counsel who
represented nun last Saturday or having betrayed
him and sold themselves to his prosecutors, in
cluding the Judge himself In this charge, and saying
mey were an in league witn mose wno wisneit to
get possession of his property. The Doctor denied
ever having detained any communications of tlu
patient to his counsel or the Austrian consul, or
Having autnonzea or countenanced any sucn deten
tion. He thought it would be unfortunate for him
to oe released now.
Dr. Gerhard testified that he visited tho relator
last Thursday and examined him as an expert, and
found his lungs to be perfectly healthy, with perhaps
the exception of a slight trace of catarrh, wlucli
every person was subject to, and which amounted to
nothing. From tne man's conversation ana manner
he believed him to be deranged, and to be suirW'lug
from an nnusuul species of Insanity that was difficult
01 explanation or uescnpiion.

Court of Common I'Uas Judge raxem.
When John M. Mellor was the Incumbent of the
office of Recelvor of Taxes, oetore tuo decision of
the contested olnctlon cases, he appointed as Re
ceiver of the Twenty-third ward Alfred Gentry, who
filed his bonds and entered upon the duties or the
office. When this Court, In October last, declared
Richard Pwltz to have been duly elected to the
olllce of Receiver of Taxes, he appointed
Alfred M. Duugan to the receivership of the Twenty-
third ward, and nence arose the diftiouitv between
tbe two appointees as to which was legally entitled
to the olllce. Judge Paxson. before whom the case
was argued, this morning decided that the
apoolnUieiit of Gentry would continue valid
only so long as his principal's right to the
superior otl'ce aud consequent power ol
appointment remained (rood and una.isal',el, fe-it that
tne moment tne ereatlnir power was iecinrei wvrr
