THE GOLD SENSATION. Decline and Fall f the Uoldca Kmpl Amanat mf Hpeele Deposit Ppalar Ira. preMlsaa. Gold was permitted to rest In a state of com parative equilibrium yesterday. Yet the (fold Room had its usual appearance as a nursery for unquiet children. The brokers made various noises, said by some cynical person to bo given In imitation of tho prowlers of the forest, and teemed to subsist upon their own Interminable loquacity. A visit was made to the vaults of several safe deposit compauies, but in no instanoe was it found that there has been any marked Increase in the hoarding of gold. If gold were being boarded it could be done without the knowledge of the safe, deposit banks, as every patron can place bis valuables beyond the espionage of the bank officials. ...... It is hardly likely that capitalists are "loading up" for a rise in gold:. If such a state of things existed, the evidences would soon come to the surface. .,!. The reporter succeeded in obtaining an inter view with a responsible officer of the Fourth National Bank, lie stated that the banks of the city now hold more gold than they have had for years. About $08,000,000 la the sum on deposit in Xew York. This does not represent the actual amount of coin in possession of the banks, but the aggrogate of gold certlacartes and coin. The gold cortlllcates Issued by the Sub Treasury to depositors of gold make about $85,000,000 of this amount, leaving the banks in actual possession of $123,000,000 in coin. , , : GOLD WAS KKVKK MORS FLKXTT than now, and this is because the Treasury policy has changed.' Formerly the department desired to noia coin, out now wisu to tarow it on me market. The Fourth National Bank yesterday bod about $2,000,000 of gold on hand, and the Park Bank had the same amount. The former institution is chiefly for brokers, and the brokers all show heavy balances of gold. People who have been wondering why many failures have not been reported in Wall street, must remem ber that there is no considerable "short" inte rest This is manifest from tho plenitude of gold, and from the fact that there have been no strong attempts at a "corner." Then there is no demand for gold; the short interest evi dently does not want much of it; merchants are not short, and gold, from its own weight, has sought a natural equilibrium. Speculation may cause it to vibrate, bnt from the large amount on the market, it will settle at its state of posi tive rest, which is little above par. THE FEELING OF INSECURITY among heavy wholesale dealers in all depart ments of trade is intense. Operators feel that merchandise is a dangerous commodity until the finances are firm and stable. Brokers in cotton and other products feel the decline in ?;old severely. No interest, however, has suf ered as much as dry goods. This department of trade has gone to sleep. A. T. Stewart, it is asserted, is the only merchant who has done an active business, and his operations have-been carried on by forced sales. THE DEPRESSION HVERTWHHRE is onlv an external sluggishness, a natural con comitant of a falling market, which will soon be dlssipatad in prosperity. It Is believed that should gold soon reach par, as there is now every evidence it will, the volume of circulation will be increased, and the insane mania of gold gambling will cease to hamper the mercantile ana commercial interests of the country. There is a keen eye everywhere watching the move ments of the market, and a feeling that gold at merchandise is about to expire after a nomadic aBd eventful life of ten years. Gold opened yesterday at 111, and closed after rapid and extreme fluctuations at 111 . N. Y. Herald this morning. THE KU-KLUX KLA.N.

SCANDALOUS SLANDER SUIT. A Yaana Wnm Charaea a Yoaa Man with Kepartlaatbnt behad been Married to Her On mf the Meat Interesting lAtlaatlona Kceard. A very interesting suit to recover $5000 damages for alleged slander was commenced in the Superior Court yesterday, before Judge Spencer. The plaintiff, Dolla Yv. Moore, who Is about twenty-five years of age, brings the suit against John 8. Bonnell, who is also about the same age. Bonnell claims to be married to Miss Moore, and the slanderous words complained of are that ho bad told people that Miss Mooro was his wild. Bonnell also claims that they were married on the UOth of November, 1H14, at the St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, by tho late Kev. Dr. John McCllntock, and lu support of this, a copy of the church record was pro duced lu evidence, in tho handwriting of Jr. McCllntock. Miss Moore denies that she was ever married to aiiy one. .J WHAT IT IS AM.EQED THE DEFENDANT SAID. The first witness was James Pryor, husband of the plaintiff's sister.' lie test! lied that Bon nell told him, In Junnary, lwift, that he was married to Miss Moore; that he (Bonnell) could prove it; "that if they were not married snu was his mistress:" that the next night he said he would do all in his power to prevent anybody else from keeping company with her, and would stand In front oi the door all night if it was necessary to prevent it; that Miss Moore had repeatedly ordered Bonnell out of her house; that he , - . 1 . GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES and begged to stay; that he afterwards said he was not married to her, but that he was jealous of her, and would be miserable without her; that he had served in tho same company with Bonnell, and that the boys considered the latter a little weak in the head. On hi cross-examination he testified that he bad threatened to sue Bonnell for circulating reports that he (witness) was married. i STILL INSISTING ON MARRIAGE. Mr. John D. Robinson, the principal of Gram mar School No. 68, testified that he heard Bon nell say the lady in question was his wife; he asked Bonnell why there was no issue of the marriage, and was given a very satisfactory answer; that upon this statement of Bonnell's he told Miss Moore that as the rumor had become so extensively circulated the trustees of tho school wished him to inform her that if she could give no satisfactory contradiction of this allegation they would annul her license to teach, and cause her to leave the school: that soon after they requested her to resign, witness said he bad seen the record of which the one (now) presented to him was a copy, in the books at the parsonage of the church; that he had her resign oecause he was afraid the rumor concern ing the couple would injure the reputation of the school u sue were retained. ; , , ; . i COUNTER CONTRADICTIONS. That he saw an affidavit made by Bonnell. denying that he was married to Miss Moore (this atlldavit was made at her solicitation, to keep her in position): that Bonnell afterwards told witness tho affidavit was untrue, and that a few days subsequently he contradicted this statement oy saying it was true. ..!- , ; ; THE PLAINTIFF S TESTIMONY. k , ; , , ., Delia W.' Moore, the plaintiff, was the next witness, ne tcstinea that there was no trutn in the statement of her marriage with John S.

Llndley,iCounty Treasurer, ever since taking possession oi nis oince, has oeen in the habit of depositing the funds of the county In the First National Bank of this city, and re ceiving interest tnereon in violation oi the law.

A number oi witnesses nave been examined. but, while thoir evidence goes to show that the Treasurer had allowed his funds to be used by the bank, there Is nothing to demonstrate where the missing money has gone. Among those who have been examined by Mr. Keomulln are John B. Cornell, Cashier of tho First National Bank. A. C. Sands, President of the Sdeond National Bank, and Col. Geo. F. Elliott. Mr. Llndley to-day sent In his resignation for the unexpired, term of the Treasurersltip, and the same was accepted, a successor was not ap pointed, but such person will probably be named to-morrow. , Mr. Llndley says that If he had pot been inierierea wun ne couia nave ad justed his affairs satisfactorily, but as It is, that the public shall not lose a dollar byhiiu. lie says mat some time ago ne gave nis in dividual checK to Mr. Cornell, ot the First National Bank, for $35,000, in order to extricate him from a personal ditiicultv, with the un derstanding that it was to.be returned to him the next day.

The testimony thus far shows that when-the quarterly examinations of the County Treasury were made, and funds were out, tho rirst National Bank would fur nish the desired' amount, bave it counted and then returned to them. .

The New York Itmtt pay Us roipects to Mr. i Fink and bis new show piece In this pointed fashion; w e are bound to say that what is called tne 'Demon Cancan," In the first act, is the most outrageous exhibition we have beheld on an American stago. It is simply obscene, the pub lic bave been slowly aod Insidiously accus tomed to a toleration of the Indecent until things have reached a pass that calls for a sharp warning. We have long been on the dangerous edge of things, and this "Cancan" of the Grand Opera House goes a ' long step too far. It realizes, in a word, much that is known of the pastiness of Pompeii, or that is imaelntd ot the mysteries of Klsuslnla. It de serves to be deliberately hissed off the stago. It Is a disgrace to Mr. Fisk, a foul stain on bis theatre and an insult to the modest women of New York, who are invited to countenance It by their presence. Mere nudity has been soen here beiore, and licentious iooks ana gestures nave been made too familiar throngh the medium of opera bouffe. ' Bnt In this case we have both touether; or, rather, we have, In a single gross picture, shameless nakedness and vile portrayal of salaciousness that far exceed what an American theatre has had the temerity to show of either in any previous representation. The ballet of the tournament scene in the second act is not so bad. Even in this the drapery worn by the dancers next their figures is con spicuously transparent. But there is. in this instance, no barefaced lmpudicity of action, which, as we have said, in the former case tran scends our experience, and leaves scarcely any thing to speak of to even the most lively imagi nation. If no line is to bo drawn between what is suitable for public representation and what can only be described as characteristic of the orgies of a bagnio, we submit It is time for the authori ties to interfere, it is no exaggeration to say that this "Demon Cancan" is in the latter rather than the former category. Consequently no lady ho respects herself can atlord to sit in the Grand Opera Honse and see It; and for yonng girls and youths to do so is to take so much moral poison. - - That the scene is really like what a vigorous fancy mitrht depict as trolnsr on in certain regions of the space assigned to the damned is no exense for its public repre sentation. Neither Mr. Fisk nor any other manager has a right to soil the purity of young maidens, to cast an affront upon virtuous matrons, who are led by tho expectation of see ing a decent performance to enter his theatre, lie, at least, who persists in such a thing after its gravity is pointed out, deserves, if not posi tive ostracism, the execration of society. We trnst that henceforward the audiences will be "black" at the Grand Opera House that is to say, that no respectable females will attend l MIXED UP. An Abandoned Child Cured for. and an Old i J.noy uonu or. The Cincinnati Times of Wednesday has the following: A young married lady, who has enjoyed a state of double bleseedness for more than a year past, and to whom an all-wise Providence bits not as yet vouchsafed that crowning blessing of connubial felicity, to wit, the darllngest, sweetest little baby that ever was, made a call at one of our hotels a few days since, and there found a beautltul little baby, whose parents had abandoned it. and which she instantly seised and carried off in Joyous triumph. Alas lor human happiness, ners was oi snort duration. In a few days tne mother of the child made her appearance and demanded her off spring, which demand was refused. This was in the forenoon, and in the evening came the father of the little waif, who imperatively forbid the return of tho child to its mother, and declared be would pay liberally for its mainte nance. An old lady living in the same house took sides with the mother, and a sort of a general scrimmage was carried on for at least half an hour, the result of which was that the nearly distraught young woman, wnose oriel dream of happiness was so cruelly dissolved, rushed fran tically forth In quest of the gentleman with brass coat and blue buttons for protection, who re turned with a warrant for the arrest of the high- spirited old lady, wno uvea witn tne mother, on a charge of threatening personal violence. The parents of the subject of all this disturbance had taken flight precipitately, and could not be found; so the sympathizing old lady suddenly found herself an inmate of the station-house, where she had abundant opportunity for reflec tion. .Later in the evening, while bemoaning her bard fate, she was agreeably surprised to receive a visit from a friend, accompanied by the turnkey, who unlocked her prison-doors and told her to go home, as her friend had given ball for her appearance before his Honor Judge Straub. 8he did not wait for a second bidding, bnt took her departure for home, vow ing she'd never take part la other people's quar rels agaiifj A BOGUS CAPITALIST. The Latest Confluence ftwladle A Real Betate f sigiir nunii A well-attired man, of portly figure and pomp ous address, called at the residence of an exten sive property owner in Morrlsania, Westchester county, a day or two ago, and presented his curd, on which was Inscribed the name "M.

On the appearance of the host he was informed by his visitor (who represented him self as a "capitalist" from New York) that his object was, it pessiuic, to negotiate lor the broad acres of the former, the market value of which is perhaps not less than 25U,uuo. : WiKhinir to dispose ol some of his property. and doubtless believing that he had caught m millionaire, the real estate owner readily accom panied the supposed bondholder to a livery establishment in Railroad avenue, where the latter, in tones of princely condescension, or dered the most stylish turnout to be placed at their service.

The Border Raid BUI Ileported Favombly. Bpteial Dwpaloh to Tht Evening Telegraph. Harrisburo, March 11. The Cemmiltee of Ways and Means of the House, at a meeting held last evening, decided to report the Border Raid bill favorably. This extraordinary action, after the bill has remained in committee for so long a time, is attributed to the pathetic appeals of a member from Franklin county, who is said to have been affected almost to tears. . The meeting of the committee had been called for the consideration of an entirely different matter, and some of the members were absent. Although the proceedings are not officially an nounced, it is reported that those who voted in favor of reporting the bill were Davis, Ames, Adaire, Longnecker, Stevens, Josephs, Scott, Keene, and Skinner, 9; and that those who voted against it were Miller, of Philadelphia, Miller of ! Allegheny, McCreary, Elliot, Darlington, Relnoebl, and Herr, 7; absent or not voting, Webb, Taylor, Parsons, Johnson and Brown. It is perhaps due to some of the members who voted for the bill to say that they might have done so from sympathy, and may oppose the scheme on its final passage. As the bill has been amended it will take all the proceeds which now accrue to the Commonwealth from every sonrce in the counties of Perry, York, Franklin, Cumberland, Adams, Fulton, and Bradford, and devote, the same to the payment of damages. 1 Extent of the Swindle. The claims covered by the bill exceed four thousand in number, and amount in the aggre gate to (1,621,031, distributed among the coun ties, as follows: , Amount Claimed, Amount Allotmd.

They started together and sho soon found her self 1c the park, and becoming frightened de manded to be taken back, and began to scream.

The young woman there made her statement to the sergeant, and was then escorted to her relative's house. The defense offered to prove that the accused was very drunk that evening, and knowing this the young woman voluntarily accompanied him upon a long stroll through the Pork, but suddenly becoming frightened at her position began screaming, and the defendant tried to quiet her, fearing that the disturbance would canse them both to be arrested.

The act provides that all dutlos, rights, and powers of the city of Philadelphia concerning all pro perty and estate whatever, dedicated to charita ble uses or trusts, the charge or administra tion of which are now or shall here after becomo Invested in or confided to the city of Philadelphia, shall be discharged by the said city through the Instrumentality of a board composed of fifteen persons, including the Mayor of the city and the Presidents of the two branches of Councils, and twelve other citizens, to be called Directors ot tho City .Trusts, who , shall exercise and discharge ail the duties and powers of said city, however acquired, concern- lug any such property appropriated to charitable 1 wee', as well as the control and management of 1 the persons of any orphans or others the objects of such charity, to the extent that the same have been or hereafter may be, by statute law or otherwise, vested in or delegated to the eald city or the ofHcors thcrcef. : .

Pending the appeal to, that conrt Councils have passed a resolu-' .". tlon deciding sot to interpose any factious op- ' position to the operations of the new board, and have for the present placed the board in pos-. ' session of all tho trust properties now held by '; the city. , The question of the constitutionality .' of the act will be settled finally at some future .-. time. : 1 - ' -.1 . !.. ; ' The Girard Kstate. 1 ''" u ; This large estate is the most important of those now under the care of the Directors 'of ' City Trusts. ,.
