It is said that there has been a previous diffi culty between the parties in rela tion to some law snit, but they were apparently on good terms last even ing when the two were out together drinking. They reached the old man's house about nine o'clock, and after remain ing a short time McKenna left. This morning between two and three o'clock he returned to the premises. The old man was in bed at the time. It is alleged that he was taken out of the bed and beaten with an axe and a billet of wood. He received some severe wounds on the head. Mc- Kenna, it is then charged, commenced drag ging his victim out towards a small shed, where his brutal work would no doubt have been finished, had not a cry of murder at tracted the attention of officer Worthline. The officer hastened to the scene and ar rested the would-be-murderer. McKenna was committed for trial. STRIKE OF THE STEVEDORES.—The steve dores engaged along the Delaware front of the city are now on a strike, Heretofore they have been paid by the quarter day, even if they were only employed for an hour or two. They now refuse to work for less pay than a half day. No intimation of an intended strike was given to employers, but yesterday there was a sudden stoppage of work. Many men who were at work were persuaded to quit, but no riotous de monstrations were attempted. A. strong police force is on duty along - the wharf to prevent any mischief. The strike is very inconvenient to shippers at this time, as the number of vessels in port engaged in load ing and unloading is unusually large. CAPTURE OF A SUPPOSED ACOOMPLIOE OF PRODST.—An individual, who was observed yesterday wandering about in the vicinity of Haddington,in the Twenty-fourth Ward, was taken into , custody by some citizens, on suspicion of having been the accomplice whom Probst alleges he had in the Dearing massacre. The man, who is a German, and did not give a very satisfactory account of himself, was taken to the Police Station. The prisoner -did not answer, in any par ticular, the description of the man given by Probst. His name is Lewis Kessier,and he says that he vesides in New Market street. From his movements he is supposed to 'be deranged, and he was sent to prison •to await the call of his relatives or friends. CONCLUDED.—The special Committee of the Controllers of the Public Schools, en gaged in the investigation of the charges against Prof. N. H. Maguire, the Principal of the Boy's High School, completed 'the taking of •testimony of witnesses, at the session of yesterday afternoon. The evi dence has all been phonographically re ported by Mr. John F. McDevitt, and City Councils have been asked to make an ap propriation to print it. The Committe will probably present the report to the Board of Control at its next meeting. DECEASED.--Mr. A. W. Poulton, who for many years was a faithful carrier of the BULLETIN, died on Saturday, of consump tion. He had served gallantly in the Mexican scar, in the Scott Legion, and wag in all respects a good citizen.

From Washington. [Special Despatch to the Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, April 24.—The President to-day appointed Wade Hampton Post master at Pittsburgh, vice Bonharst re moved. He is said to be a relative of Wade Hampton, South Carolina. The Senate Finance Committee to-day hung up Sloanaker's nomination for future action. I•Tone of the appointments in Penn sylvania will be acted on for some time. The. Army bill is regarded as dead. It is the intention of Congress not to pass any measure of the kind this session. Secretary McCulloch has come to no con clusion as yet in regard to putting the five per cent, loan on the market. The Tax bill willmot be reported before Friday. (Correspondence of the A .u+el Preen.] WASEENGTON, April24.—The great letting of mail 'contracts, about 3,000 routes, has been concluded. Kentucky, Tennessee, In diana, Thingis, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min nesota, Dakotah Territory, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are the States em braced in the regular letting, besides which there are one or two hundred more of:nais cellaseons routes in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and points nearer home and which are now let under special advertisement. In some of the States the proposals were found considerably in advance of those de manded four years ago. In others offers were made at lower figures, so that, as an average, the entire results are in favor of the Department. This is by far the largest let ting ever held in the Department. The petition throughout was spirited, showing the mail service to be in high credit among men of intelligence, enterprise and wealth within the respective States. Moses F. Odell was yesterday confirmed by the Senate as Naval Officer at New York. The President has filled all the appoint ments in Virginia for the Internal Revenue Department with parties who, it is said, have taken the test oath. From Savannah. NEw Yonx, April, 24th.—The steamer Herman Livingston from Savannah, April 2Jst,has arrived, bringing two companies of the 12th Maine regiment. The Savannah Herald, of April 21st, states that Captain Duncan has demanded that his trial should be remanded to the Civil Courts, but the Military Commission refused. Governor Jenkins has issued a proclamation ex planatory of the position of the courts, and the people under the recent proclamation of President Johnson, in effect stating that the former status is modified but not radically changed. Financial. WASHINGTON, April 24.—The Secretary of the Treasury has written a letter to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Commit tee on the apportionment of national cur rency. He says: Senate bill, No. 256 is seemingly general in its provisions, bat in effect it singles out Massachusetts, Connec ticut, and Rhode Island, and reduces their circulation to a certain arbitrary standard. It practically asserts that the circulation of the national banks in Massachusetts shall be diminished 60 per cent.: the national banks in Connecticut shall be diminished 52 per cent.; and in Rhode Island 74 per cent. The principle on which this reduction is based is not a cotrect one. One hundred and seventy-five thousand of the usual po pulation of'Obio or Illinois do not need a tenth part required by the manufacturing and commercial communities of Rhode Island. This bill is an amendixient to sec- lion 21 of the present national currency act, and proposes to withdraw circulation from bulks by reducing the ratio which it shall bear to capital. It will affect banks in all the States more or less by a certain fixed rate. The , reduction is to be effected gradu ally as the circulation becomes worn and mutilated, -and is returned for redemption. The amount by which the circulation is to be thus diminished approximates $25,000,- 000, and it is proposed in anticipationof this reduction to authorize the issue of circulatiorrto banks in States that have re ceived the least proportionate amount of circulation, as it may be needed. The Secre tary thinks it is important that solvent State banks should have an opportunity to become National banks, otherwise, by the operation of a law of the United States,they will be compelled to wind up after the first day of July Goat, and that it Is a matter of great importance that provision should be made to meet the wants of those States which have been in rebellion. Banking facilities are necessary to devel ops the induetrial interests of the South, and to stimulate the production of those staples, which enter as largely into the financial in terests of the country ; at the same time, it would be wise policy to afford the people of that section an opportunity to become pecu niarily interested in the successful mamte mince of the Government of the United States. And inasmuch as Congress has as sumed entire control of the currency of the country, and to a very considerable extent of its banking interests, prohibiting the in terference of State . government, it would seem to be the plain duty of Congress to make adequate provision to meet the busi ness wants of all sections of the country in the way of banking facilities. The following banks of New York and Pennsylvania, from the accompanying statement of the Comptroller, would be re duced in circulation by the proposed Senate amendment, as follows: N. Y.

A summary of the bill was published in the proceed ings of the 19th. Mr. C. T. Hulburd (N. Y.) addressed the House in favor of IL e passage cf the bill. 4 Mr. Dawes, ("brass.). interrupting, stated that he was desirous of voting for the bill. and of having the work constructed es a national work, but he observed that. In the charter granted by the New York legislature to a corporation, for this purpose, there was a clause re serving to the State of New York the right to purchase the canal. Mr. It ulburd (N. Y.) stated that his colleague Van Horn) intended to offer an amendment which would give the control of the work exclusively to the Federal Government. _ . .
