ATTEMPT= MIIRDER—AN OLD MAN
BEATEN WITH AN AXE.—An Irishman
named Michael McKenna was before Alder
man Clouds, this morning, upon the charge
of having attempted to kill an old man who
resides in a small house which stands back
from Second street, below Chatham. 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. His funeral
will take place to-morrow afternoon, from
his late residence in Tasker street, below
Tenth.
CDT His THROAT.—George H. Totem, re
siding in Osborne's court, Eighth Ward, at
tempted to commit suicide, last evening, by
cutting his throat with a pocket-knife. He
inflicted only a slight wound, however.

[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:
