THESUB-TREASURY A letter from Secretary Sherman was laid before the house of representatives calling attention to an enclosed commun nication from the assistant treasurer in New York city, in which the latter says “After a personal inspection of our silver vault I am satisfied that the additional amount we can safely receive will not exceed $10,000,000, making, with what we now have on hand, say $28,000 000, though, this is much less than the nominal capacity of the vault, There are two objections to filling upthe available space---first, the lateral pressure (which cannot be prevented by the most careful stowing) would force out the lattice work partition and precipitate the whole mass of coin into the the passageway or adjoining compartment if empty ond, it would not be possible to make a count of the coin with even approximate correctness without handling nearly every day. How moch time and ex- nse this would involve may be judged rom the fact that the present stock of silver weighs over five hundred tons After describing the present system of stowage Mr. Hillhouse continues: “If we adhere to this plan it will limit the silver we can receive to an amount much less than was anticipated when the vault was construeted, but it is the |v® only one consistent with safety and con- | venience. I take the liberty of calling | iio your attention to the matter, as there seems to be no disposition in congress to stop the farther coinage of silver. If itis to go on at the rate of $2,000,000 a month, the question of how we are to dispose of it with our present facilities will soon be a pressing one.” , - GRANT IN ILLINOIS.

PHILADELPHI READ- ING STOPS PA THE A A YM Wall—The Coal and Iron Com: pany's Last Year's Losses Drags Down the Big Rail: road Company. Philadelphia, May 21.~No event recent years has created ~uch a convul sion in business and stock transactions in the city as the failure announced to- day of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company. The memorable scenes which nearly seven years ago fol lowed upon the heels of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co. comprise the only parallel, and even that catastrophe, which shattered the busines of a conti~ nent, produced little more excitement or caused no greater surprise than that of to-day. Forsome days rumors prejudicial to the credit of the Philadeiphia Coal and Iron company haye been on the street, but the assurances of the friefds of the corporation and the regularity of its business had the effect of dissipating whatever uneasiness these whispered suspicious created. Early this morning, however, an uneasy feeling was mani- fest on Third street and among the deal- ers who had assembled at the Stock Ex- change, the suspicions were put into shape of ominous questions, Reading opened at 23, but under the influence of rumors it declined slowly, A little be fore one o'clock a rumor came that the coal company had “gone to protest” and the shares at once tumbled to 18, and in less than an hour were offered freely at 73. The excitement continued to in- crease and embraced the whole street, All kinds of rumors were in circulation but out of the chaos of uncertainty it was learned that the dishonored paper consisted of checks drawn upon a city bank which were returned unpaid. Soon after the announcement was made semi-officially that the company had suspended payment, and the downward tendency of the stock continued, though strong efforts to effect a revival were made with occasionally temporary suc cess, until at the close the quotations were 154, The excitement on the street at the close was transferred to the offices of the company where interested parties res paired to consult with Mr. Gowen. Eve- rything within was quiet and subdued, but anxioos faces indicated that the con- straint was forced. while the earnestness and energy manifested by those who passed in and out of the president's pris vate room showed that great work was in progress there. The announcement subsequently that the leading railroad company had also suspended payment scarcely made a perceptible increase in the excitement fo, \t was anticipated on all sides as an inevita,, ® consequence of the coal com- pany's misfo, ne, A meeting of the managers of company Wa8 Subsequently held st the office of the compo" forthe » Ti “i ¥ Ham ton, General Gordon Seeking the Solace and Seclusion of Private Life, a oh Senator Gordon in resigning his seat in the senate, says that no political significance whatever attaches to his resignation, and that it is astep he has been contemplating for a long time, in order to be relieved from the anxieties and responsibilities of public life, that he might devote himself to his private business, which demands his personal attention. He is to be succeeded by ex- Governor Joseph E, Brown of Georgia, The following is the text of the Senator's letter of resignation: In taking this ftep, I am simply care rying out a long-cherished desire to re- tire from public life. I have hitherto subordinated that desire to a sense of duty and to a reluctance to leave the service of a noble and geaerous people who bave honored me with the most exalted station and supported mein the discharge of its duties with unswerving confidence, Since April, 1861, for near- ly twenty years, my life has been one of incessant anxiety and of great labor, For more than one-half of that long pe« riod, eitherin war or in public office, my energies have been devoted to what I conceived to be the welfare of the Southiern people and the best interests of the whole country, and now that the restoration of Louisiana and South Car olina tothe rights of self-government secures to the entire South her full and rightful representation in the legislative department of the Federal Government, my most cherished object in politicslhas been atiaived. 1 am left free, therefore to consult my inclinations and the im- perative interests of my family, without the least detriment to the public service.

The law as itstanids and as it has been carried out, is infamously unfair.
