CITT 1NTELLIBHCE.
TnB RaXArStNO FKVKR. Rev. J. 1OHg, Uie Bed-,
ford street missionary, reports that 13 cases of T 4.
lapmnfr fever were sent to the hospital yutera
ami 8 this morning. The total number of cast's, leat
to the hospital since the fever first made Its tpper.
anca is 230, and the rate of mortality amor n,e
aflltctad has ben about 83 per cent. Tp.is t very
much greater thin the percentage of 'eaths from
the same disease In Kngtand, NcoManl, or Ireland,
and It proves conclusively that the fever, an it has
iieveloped itself In this city, Is of a peculiarly malig
nant type. Much has been done towards the purifi
cation of P.edrord street and vicinity, hut very much
wore remains to be done if It is expected to checK
this terrible disease, and prevent it from spreading
to all parts of the city during the hot months of
summer. The relapsing fever has mad5 Its appear
ance In districts far removed from l.edford street,
and there is really very great caiiHe for alarm, ami
the occasion is one that demands prompt and cill
clent action on the part of the authorities. In one
house alone, on Emetine Btreet, four persons have
died anil nnother was reported dying this morning.
The citizens of Philadelphia have a right to know
why tills house was not closed and purified when
the. first case was reported; and If the lioard of
Health has not the requisite authority to do what
la necessary for the protection of the health of the
city, why dors if not call upon the Mayor and Conn
oils to extend their aid? It is evident
that this pestilence is not to be trilled with,
and it is much better that a plain and
hone.t expression of the facts of the case should be
made, so that the citizens of Philadelphia may know
what to expect, th.iti that the dangers of the situa
tion Biiouin ie concealed or poott-pooneu pr.. it me
relapsing fever should become general throughout
the city there is every probability th it a panic will
ctihiie, and the I'.ourd "of ilca'th and the city autho
rities will tie denounced on all sides for not having
dine their duty In the first place. The press of the
city has not failed to call attention to the matter
and to urge the necessity for immediate action, so
that there will be no possible excuse for those who
are charged with the preservation of the health of
this grant community if it should be desolated by
pesUitnce during the present summer.

Atlantic City. As the season Is rapidly ap
piotit hini; when large numbers of individuals seek
ome pomt where they may spand a few weeks,
either for recreation or the restoration cf health, a
word on this subject may not be altogether out of
place. Every physician throughout the city aad
State is frequently called upon to advise in relation
to this matter, and his opinion (as it should) gene
rally determines the selection. The time consumed,
and the fatigue of travel in reaching the seaslde,have
long operated in preventing very many lrotu gratl
Ivl'ir their wishes In this direction. To those whose
time ind nienns are ample, the place, so as it pos
sesses the necessary arrangements for comfort, is
not very important, yet with the greatest number
the Hccessibillty of a locality will exercise no small
determining influence. The construction of a rail
road from Philadelphia to Atlantic City has brought
the ocean within a ride of two hours, with five com
munications daily. This place possesses everything
to attract visitors, either in Rearch of pleasure or
health ; such as the most ample accommodations in
the way of public houses under well-directed mau
aaeineiit, cottages for thore desiring more complete
pr vai y, churches of different denominations, a safe
anil excellent shore lor bathing, an air remarkable
f r its dryness, pleasure yachts for sailing, and to
t u b as regard the manly sport of fishing and hunt
ing, the waters and the ni'-adows are alive with
llsh, snipe, and a great variety of game. For the in
valid with scrofuious or rheumatic tendencies, or
the shaking aguist, with all the train of liver and
hpleen disturbances, the iodine In the air, the Iodine
and chloride of sodium in the water, promise a quick
and perhaps permanent improvement. It is beyond
cavil the place for those seeking relief from diseases
proceeding from functional hepatic derangement.

THE N. Y. MONEY JIAKRET YKSTKItOAY.
From the Jf. T. Herald.
The week in Wall street opens on dull and lrre
gular markets. The cable reports a holiday lu Lou-
uon, owing to the observance or w nit Mouaay.
tueWasand Means Committee have reported
the new Funding bill. Its general provisions have
been already anticipated. The new loan Is to be
f l.ooo.oto.ouo, lu the form of a thirty year bond, at
four per cent., to be exchanged at par iortuenve
twenties, and to be sold at not less than par in gold.
In the work of transforming the debt the Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized to sell the surplus gol j
of the TrcaHury tu cancel the outstauding debt, while
the bonds already In the special aud slaking funds
are to tie destroyed, l lie bin has been ordered to
be printed. The compulsory section affecting the
iihtional banks has been left out. In the street it is
tht ught that the Senate will insist upon the original
bill, nud that lu the failure of the two houses to
aree the whole funding question will full to the
ground for this session or Cotigrsss.
"Some of the block houses reported a better In
quiry for money, and new loans were made in some
Instances as high as live per cent. The prevailing
rates were four to five on stocks and three to four
on Governments. It Is evident from the character
ot the back statement on Saturday that no further
remittances from the country may be looked for,
especially as a better demand is reported iu the
WeKtern money centres. Commercial paper was
unchansed.
"The foreign exchange market was only mode
rately active at a reduction oi an eiguta per cent- in
rates by the leading bankers. There is a fiiir supply
oi bona bills on the market, but few commercial
lulls.
"Tho cold market was weak under the steady
salea of long gold by parties who have become con
vinced that a bull movement tins summer is imiirau
ticable, in view of the light demand for exchange
and the heavy cottou crop ot lb09-70, which has
given the wintry at tcast 150,000,000 of gold more
than the previous erPi thereby rendering It doubt
ful whether the balance of trade will be really
against us when a settlement or the account Is had
In winding up the business ot 1870. The price de
clined from 114 to 113, at which Utter figure the
market ciosea wean.
"The decline in gold led to lower prices for Gov
ernments, although the market could not be called
weak. Holders show little apprehension concerning
the new Funding bill."
KOVEL KECEPriOJT.
'Itcd Cloud' and IIU Company at the White
lloune.
The most unique reception of this or any other
ceanon took place this evening at the White House.
The elite or Kiirope ana tne oon ion or barbarism
met, clasped hands, ate, and drank together In the
home of .the GreatF ather. The Cabinet Ministers
aud their families, the diplomatic corps era rnantn,
and a lew Seuators and their wives or (laughters,
met the Ogalallahs and Brules, and the squaws
belonging to the latter delegation. The re
ception took place In the East Room, which was
brilliantly lighted. All the ladies were in full
evening dress, and gentlemen the same. The In
dians wore blankets, buffalo robes, feathers, and
mednls beyond belief. After shaking hands with
the Great Father and the Great Mother, as they call
Mrs. Grant, the delegation proceeded to shake
hands with and grunt "How'' at the assembled
guests, and to stare In unmitigated though stolid
wonder at the latest productions of the highest civi
lization of Europe the blonde Parisian beauty and
the elegantly gotten up Parisian dandy. After tl, is
ceremonial the savages arranged themselves along
the all on chairs, sofas, or the floor, whichever
t ame handy, and were the recipients of the stares
of the promenaders, who paused from time to time
in contemplation of them.
AlKint 8-:i supper was announced, and the Presi
dent led the way to tho grand state dining-room,
followed by the assembled guests, the Indiana taking
precedence. The table was covered with flowers
and all the decorations customary on grand occa
sions Strawberries, cherries, oranges, bananas,
ices, cakes ol all kinds, French candies, and wines
appeared on the bountifully Bpread boanL The
lions of the evening were given places next the
table, and were waited upon by other Hons, foreign
and domestic. They managed the gold spoons with
great dexterity, and Red Cloud sarcastically ob
served that he found the white people ate many
things which they did not send to the Indians, and
that they did not seem to live entirely on corn meal.
The wine of the Great Father went not nntasted and
was appreciated to the full, as was evinced by the
falling asleep of some of the Indian imbibers. After
the return to the East Room the squaws seemed par
ticularly pleased with the snapping kisses, and pulled
them with the foreign Ministers with charming
naivete. All they could net eat they carried off In
their blankets. When the Interpreter thought
things hud gone far enough he gave the signal to
retire, and, with a succession of grunts, the party
withdrew to the Bast Room, and resumed their for
mer positions. Then they were Instantly sur
rounded by the fair ladies, and each was presented
'with a bouquet, and a more paradoxical sight can
scarcely be lBiagincd than that presented by the
exotics of tho White House conservatories lu the
hands of the painted warriors of tho forest Mrs.
Thornton, of the British Legation, won golden
opinions for herself by giving the tassel from her
lan and tne pearl beads from her sash to the squaws.
About 9 the pow-wow broke up, and the children
were carried from their Father's house in a large
omnibus, leaving the impression that they had be
haved themselves, under the extraordinary circum
stances, with singular circumspection.
1 he delegations of Brule-Sioux, headed by Spotted
Tall, went to the Interior Department to-dav. and
had an Interview with Secretary Cox and Commis
sioner Parker. They expressed views and wishes
to the Secretary similar to those mentioned by Red
Cloud in his Bpeech on Friday; that Is, they are
poor, and want clothing and ammunition. The
Secretary explained that appropriations for their
benellt were pending in Congress, and as soon as
they were passed the amount appropriated would be
expended consistently with the treaty stipulations.
Red ciouit, witn nis party, win nave another talk
to-morrow. The Indians are becoming uneasy, and
express great anxiety to return to their people.

Alter iscussing tbe general subject of tha rliutinntinn
between coin and paper money, be quoted from a recent
publication, "The Soieuoe of Finance," by Hubert H. Pat
teasnu, of Scutlaua, to show that tbe paper ciroulatioa
of the Uni'ed Kingdom had remained practically sta
tionary for tbe last twenty five years, sinoe ln44, whea the
great currency act of bir Robert Ptel forbade the increase
of paper currency, except in a very hunted way, and then
Xiwrlnr grest rrstricMons, snil yet within that time the
Unite Kingdom had trebled i's wealth and qii.vtrupleii
its trade. The grest instrument of Brit mi trade wss
neither coin nor vapor, but the check, the commercial
bill, tbe draft on bank. Not 6 per cent , according tothis
writer, of all the buslnes of the United Kingdom was
transacted in eoin or psppr money, more then 95 pnrcent.
of it bring f t anssctnd tlirnngh banks in tbe form of drafts,
bills, and transfers of credit.
Tuis was reaiarkable fact, which should be taken IntD
account in all rtisca.sious of currency sn i trade facilities.
It showed that the bank was to-dav the great mechanism
for facilitating exebangna more than com or notes. He
believed thai the first great want of the country wa a
Sound currenev, evchangeJiile into o.Tin, but. as that. wi
impossible st present, and boynnd bis aspirations, bo
would say that the second great want of the country was
Increased facilities for making exohanirn, whnthor in the
form of paper, notes, or hanking credit. Tiiat was the
great and pressing doroHnd ef tne hour. He replied t
the argument as to the distribution of currency, argirn;
that no matte-how distributed it wonld tlow in channels
regulated by tbe laws of trade, and could net be restricted
by any absolute provisions of statute Inw.
He said, in reply to an onoerration by Mr. Wood, that it
was not tne mere Inequality in the distribution of cur
rency of which complaint was made. It wis the in
equality of banking canital, or banking facilities, that was
complained of most. There was a glut of currency in tho
country. He read trom tne money artine ol nnniTYorK
morning paper a statement that the associated hanks of
New York had. on the 28IQ of Mar. Il7. . 22S.H0i'.tri ) on
deposit and a circulation of SS.1,Uii,(iMi, being a total of
2iii,mi,lMI. lie reserve of Lo per cent, on thstwoull
sniount. to fft4 fit'O.tOO; but the banks actually held
$:M.iKKi,tlOOof cash, reserving a surplus ot $t0.ni)i,no,l.
What wss the key to that situation f The euceeodin
sentences furamhod it: "Ratoof monoy four per ennt.
Monev essv st thai rato. The sneoiilstton in tho Gold
Room is dull." There were scarcely to be fourd mora
important, mots crowned into a small compass standing
in tho rlati"n of cause and effect to eicli of hor, and
showing the difficulties, than what hn had read from th it
article. 'NV bat was the caute of tho glut ir the currency t
Rrcsuso at the present moment there w is a remarkable
lull in tep gambling known st tbe (iold Kxohtna an J ma
btcck FxclinoKe ot Kcw York.
The gamblers were unable to prognosticate th signs of
the times. They were waiting to sen what Congress would
do, and were nrt using their reserve, but lotting it
lie idle. If Congress wore to adjourn without leis
mtion on the financial question, tbe saencs of July,
Aucust, and September, ixiill, would ba ropentud,
and tbe whole business of tho country
would be tossed up and down, torn by the gamblerj of
Wall street. While money wan at 4 per cent, in New York
resectable merchants in the West, with the best busi
ness paper and socurity, were trying in vain to get loans at
111, IS, and n per cent, interest. Legitimate business was
perishing, while the rascals and gamblers who dealt in
the nation's life-blood bad money easy at their command,
and ttiis wss one of the conditions that grew out of tho
unequal circulation and unoqual distribution of banking
facilities. 'I be Committee on Hanking and Currency bad
been subjected to newspaper attacks growing out of the
bill, ono paper denouncing the bill as one of contraction,
and another denouncing it as one of inflation. He state. I
facts to show that it was not a bill of contraction, and
wished that it was as easy for him to prove that it was not
one oi intlation.
'I hat was t he great difficulty which he had with th9 bill.
Aato the suggestion in favor of isnuiug greenbacks, be
was entirely opposed to it. It whs never safe to tru-1 tho
volume of paper currency to the mere naked will of a
political party in the National legislature, but it that
difficulty were not in the way, thnre was stilt another and
a greater one. A greenback currenny istued, not in con
nection with banks, wna not regulated bv the wants of
business. It was just so much the tear round, while every
man knew that in some seasons of the year more circula
tion was needed for business tbiiu at. others. He deemed
th isne of currency by Government as unphilosophicai,
nnsa'e, and illy. adapted to the wants of business, au I he
reminded the House of the late decision of tbe Supreme
Court sgnipst tho Leynl tord r act.
He went on to discuss briefly the soetions of the hill re
lating to gold banks, saying that ou the Pacific coat, in
Texas or 'New Orleans, in Charleston and in New York,
these banks would be established. He declared himself
unmitdakably in favor of continuing, uml amending it need
be, the nntianal hanking si Mem, contrasting its security
to tbe public with tbe losses sustained under the old true
bnkmg system. .
Mr. Cox opposed the bin. Hn regarded all the fiscal
bills proposed us being intended either to chango the
currency or to increase its volume. He was opposed to
the issue of the ninety-fire millions of natioual bank
notes, ss proposed in the bill. He would prefer, "if re
deemable," tor economy and safety. Hie greenback issue.
Rut be held that all these measures wero makeshift i
becai'so they did nos look to a basis of gold and silver.
1 he M'.e i;va nun of all legislation on the subject was a suo
eessful scheme of resumption. He opposed the currency
sections of the bill, especially those relating to gold notes,
which he denounced. This issue of national bunk intes
w-s a dangerous expansion. The scheme of new banks he
characterized as a great and explosive monstrosity. He
was opposed to any part iM redistribution. Tbe funding
f irts of t he bill he regarded as out of place until reaiimo
on takes place. He disapproved of tlieui as having various
rtes ot interest, when there should be lint a single rate,
nd as being impracticable and hardly worthy of oppo
sition. He believed that ull free banking, oven on an irre
deemable paper system, would brills' cxoe'HfS and ruin.
He ridiculed tbe varieties of curraney nr iposedby Ke-
111)10 leaders, and the oonnection -i n'teu asserted in
ongres between the debt and currency of the country.
He held that there was no necessary cooneot iou between
them except for bad purposes. He pleaded for a return
to a gold and silver currency, and quoted Governor II nf
man's message, denouncing the logul-tendnr system as a
forced loan, and as the great, crim against, tbe Constitu
tion and the age which tue Democracy oulv had tha skill
and courage to wipe out.
