The Art.-• Sale at Kaseltine's Galleries.
Last evening a crowd, thought to be the
largest ever collected here on a similar oc
casion, assembled in Mr. Haseltine's galleries
to assist at the dispersal of the Haseltine and
Bailey collections. Mr. B. Scott, Jr., the
auctioneer, exerted himself with diligence and
skill, but the prices obtained were generally
low. The artist obtaining the highest price for
his work was Carl Raupp, of Munich, whose
"Returning from Church" brought 9 2i,, and
whose "Picnic disturbed by a San-shower,"
reached ,Ssb'o" . Charles Lterbiithoffer's "Fortune

rented at teast thirty millions o dollars. A
number of gentlemen were present from other
cities. among whom we noticed Mr. Niblo, of
New York. The pictures, though' executed
by the finest artists, were sold at ruinously
low prices, there being, from some unaccouta,
able cause, • but very little competition. A
number of bids were received from Berlin,
and other cities abroad, but we are happy to
say that but one was returned, as all the others
were outbid here. The paintings; however,
appear to be appreciated abroad more than at
home. Among the principal purchasers were
Mes.srs. Niblo, Clagliorn, Antelo..Toseph Har
rison, Wolff, Mason, John F. Smith, Lewis

interminable loquacity.
If an innocent person, bent upon investi

doubt, find these useful bodiesin their highest

THE VAULTS OF THE FARR BANK,
where the gentlemanly manager was found.
Reporter—Have there been any gold de
posits, unusually large, placed in your vaults
as a consequence of the recent decline?
Manager—No, sir; no movement of that
character has been noticed.' Gold deposits are
comparatively small

things existed the evidences would soon come
to the surface.
The reporter succeeded in obtaining an in
terview with a responsible officer of the
Fourth National Bank. He stated that the
banks of the city now hold more gold than
they have for years. About 54'03,000,000 is the
sum on deposit in New York. This does not
represent the actual amount of coin in
possession of the banks, but the aggregate of
gold certificates and coin. The gold certifi
cates issued by the Sub-Treasury to depositors
of gold make about 535,000,000 of this amount,

policy has changed. Formerly the depart,

throw it on the market. The Fourth _National
Bank yesterday bad about 52,000.000 of gold
on band, and the Park Bank had the same

dering why many failures have , not been
reported in Wall street should remember that
there is no considerable "short " interest. This
is manifest:from the plentitude of gold and
from the fact that there have been no strong
attempts at " corner." Then there is no de•
mend for gold; the short interest evidently
does not want much of it; merchants are not '
idrort,and gold from its own weight has sought
it natural equilibrium. Speculation may cause
it to vibrate, but from the large amount on the
market it , will settle at its state of positive rest,
which is little above par.
The feeling of insecurity among heavy,
wholesale dealers in all departments of trade
is intense. Operators feel that merchandise
is a dangerous commodity until the finances
are tirra and stable. Brokers in cotton land
other products feel the decline in gold
severely. No interest, however, has suffered
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.

comitant of a falling market, which will soon
be dissipated in prosperity. It is believed that
should gold soon reach par, as there is now
every evidence it will, the volume of circula
tion will be increased and the insane mania
of gold gambling will cease to hamper the
mercantile and commercial interests of the
country. There is a keen eye everywhere
watching the movements of the market, and a
feeling that gold as merchandise is about to
expire after a nomadic and eventful life often.

THE NEW DOMINION.
itestione of Reciprocity and Amiesa.
tienin the Canadian Parliament.
OTTAWA, March 3.—Sir Francis Hine ks said
there could be no doubt whatever that there
was a movement on the other side of the line
in the direction of bringing pressure to bear
on the Government of the United States for
the purpose of promoting freer commercial
intercourse between the two countries. He
did not altogether despair of seeing some
steps taken soon which would lead to this re
sult. Negotiations were not yet over. -,,
Mr. M. C. Cameron was pretty clear that he
had understood the Secretary of State's mean
ing to be that a renewal of reciprocal trade
with Canada would be - prejudicial, to the in
terests of American Industries. that it would
not be beneficial to. the peophi, and that it
would be chiefly in favor of the British pro
ducer. If the government of this country,
therefore, took this important subject into
serious consideration, it should be with
a dettnnination to do so on the basis of
national interests—Canadian interests "alone.
What was the state of our commercial re
lations to-day? The American markets
were closed to us, but our markets were open
to them, and Canadian trade had to be carried
on with the American markets closed 'to us.
They had all the benefits of free trade with us,
we had all the disadvantages of restricted
trade with them. We had now,arrived at a
period when it.was high time for She Govern
ment to adopt a policy on this question, and
that: policy, in his opinion, should be the
policy of a tariff based upon the national in;
terests of Canada—a policy of independence_
on the subject of free trade. Why was it that
our producers were unable to compete with
the producers of the United . , States ;It was
beCause the policy of the Government of the
latter country had been uniformly a policy of
encouragement of the , national. industries,
which was a lesson our
,Government
,might
profitably follow. • : ; •
Mr. Pope said the question Was not one of
Reciprocity. - or Free Trade, or
: Protection, but
of the interests of the country. Recently he
met a Senator of the United Stateft, - and had
had a talk with him; the object of the conver
sation being the same as that now under con
sideration—reciprocal trade with "the United
States. Ho told the Senator that in the course
hie GoVernment were adopting, they had not
; pursued a policy which , was for the true
interests of, the United States ; for he asserted.
- and , was satisfied that be , was not- 'far
, that the , pectple generally' of the
United States ]poked , RfrWartt'to thcfutitre

weight in that _country, he was assured, did
look forward to seeing Canada annexed. Weil,
lie told the Senator that the course the United
States was pursuing was one which would
ilever unite the people to, them in either in
terest or political alliance; but that it was by
the practice of reciprocal intercourse and
identity of commereial interests, and that
only, that the people could ever be drawn to
favor any such political change. I said, "You
are going the wrong way to work, you are
going the very way to make our interests as
far apart as they can be, and the only way in
which you can bring, about any feeling in
favor of annexation you intuit begin by culti
. vating friendly relations and closer connection
with our people." "Well," he said, "I be
lieve you are right." And he added: But it
is some of your own people, people who are
engaged extensively in manufacturing,and
business among you, who have written t say
that the principle for bringing this , country to
favor the idea of annexation is to stirrve the
country into it. War.] When the Recipro

cheaper than he could here; to-day the con
trary was the case, and he could buy a pair, of
boots cheaper in Canada than in Boston.
Where the Illame_Llea cud Who thigh
The following article from the New York
Times will be read with interest :
The Evening Post says:
"The testimony which has reached us seems
unhappily to leave no doubt on the two points
we have recited—that there was gross care
lessness and lack of disciplinb on an American
man-of-war, and almost incredible inhumanity
on the part of the English Captain."
It seems to us that our contemporary is wrong
in attributing to the gallant and lamentea
Capt. Williams any carelessness in the man
agement of his ship. The sole responsibility
for the loss of our , brave countrymen, and the
vessel in which they sailed; rests upon the
commander of the mail steamer Bombay, Capt.
Eyre—a name which will henceforth be in
famous in the annals of the sea.
We £. ay " infamous," because it is quite clear
bat Captain Eyre deliberately outraged the
ams na. Fs I...apnre numanny in 1118 COMlllet
..after the collision. He did not. 'stop to sae
what assistance he could render, and when he
was asked to go back to the spot he refused.
The senior officer of the English fleet, Capt.
Stanhope, had to threaten "to make him" re
turn and search for the crew of the Oneida be
fore he would move an inch. Words are attri
buted to him by a third person which would
make him appear a monster of the
same class •as Troppmann ; but at
a- time of so much excitement, "hearsay "
eividence must be received with caution. We
have Capt. Eyre's own statement on oath that
"he had no idea of the nationality of the
other vessel," and it is scarcely conceivable
that he would have deli berately singled out an
American vessel to run into. He is evidently'
an obstinate, hard, and reckless sort of man,
capable of ally act of folly, but probably in
telligent enough to know that the conse
quences of running. down an AMerican ship
- would be more serious Whim than if the ship'
hail belonged to any other nation.
CliptrEyre strongly insists on his ststementA
.that the pilot, who was, he thinks, an Ameri
can, told him there was plenty of room to
clear the Oneida, and that the shocx to the
Bombay was so slight that even the lady pas
sengers were not conscious that anything nad
happened: Perhaps experienced - seamen can
decide whether it is possible for one ship to
run another down under such circumstances
as these. The terrible charge of barbarity on
the part of Capt. Eyre is, founded upon
his conduct at a time when he alone was
the master of his 'actions. His own defence
furnishes no excuse for his conduct. It is
quite certain that three guns were tired
by the Oneida, and that they were heard at
Yokohama—yhileEyre declares that no
sound reached his ears. We have a right , to
demand justice against this man. That he can
ever again be put in command of a ship seems
impossible—but a severer punishment than
this must be his portion. It he is allowed to
escape, farewell to all good feeling between
the naval services of America and England.
Blood is thicker than water," said an Ameri
can commander when he went to the relief of
the English in China. What do English' peo
ple think of Captain Eyre's new comment on
that proverb?
THE NORTH CAROLINA KU•KLDX
}ILAN.
Recent Outrages Officially Described--
- Alanninco County.
Goy. Holden, of North Carolina, gives the
following facts in his proclamation of NarCh
7, declaring Alarnanco in a state of insurrec
tion :
On the 26th of November, 1869, a citizen of
the United States, who was engaged in teach,
ing a school in said county, was taken from
his house by a baud of men armed and dis
guised, and was by them cruelly beaten and
scourged. Ou the night of the 26th of Febru
ary, 1870, a citizen of the said county was
taken from his house by a band of men ; armed
and disguised, and was by= the banged by
the neck until he was dead, on the
public square in the town of Graham,
near the Court House. And more
recently the Postmaster at Company Shops,
in said county, an officer for the Government
of the United States, was compelled to flee
the country, and while absent a band of men
armed and disguised visited his honse, with
the purpose,'doubtlesa, of taking his life,• and
this within a short distance of Federal troops
stationed in said county, not to overawe or
intimidate good citizens, but, to, preserve the
peace, and to orttect the innocent and law
abiding. In addition to: these cases, informa
lion has been ' received at this Department
that peaceable and law-abiding citizens of the
country aforesaid have been molested in their
houses, have been whipped, shot, scourged,
and threatened with lurther visitations of
violence and outrage unless they would con
form to some arbitrary standard. of conduct
set up by these disguised assassins and mur
derers. -
The Gcvernor also , says : I .have invoked
public opinion to aid mein representing these
outrages and iu preserving peace and order.
I have waited to see if the people of Ala
mance would assemble in public meeting and
express their condemnation of such conduct
by a portion of the citizens, of the county, but
1 have waited in vain.' No meeting of the
kind'haS been held; No expression of disap
provaleven of such conduct by the great body
of the, citizens has yet. reached this depart
ment; but, on the contrary, it is believed that
the lives of citizens whahave reported these
crimes to the Executive have been thereby
endangered, and it is further believed that
many of the citizens of the county
are so terrified , that they darn
not complain, or , , attempt the arrest of
criminals in their Midst. • The civil officers of
the cbunty are Silent and powerless. Tho laws
must' be:maintained. These laws are over all.
Every citizen,of whatever party or color,must
be absolutely free to express his political opin
ions, and , Mnst he safe in his own house. These.
outrages and these violations ()flaw !nosh, and
shall cease. 'Criminals must and shall be

IFrom the Cincinnati Comenerclat of Maruhr 9.1 •
The people of Hamilton and the rest of But
ler county are greatly excited over the dis
covery of heavy defalcation.s in the office of
the County TreaSurer, arising out of the ir
regular and improper use of the funds bytthe
Treasurer, Mr. John C. Lindley. The state
Auditor having been notified ot a delicienc.V
in the funds of. that county, appointed
Charles Reemelin a special : Comm issio ner
to investigate the matter. Mr. lieemelin
visited Hamilton on Monday, but as Mr.
Lindley was sick, and detilined to surrender
the safe ' keys, no examination of the
hooks or money could be made on that day,
and Mr. Reemelin proceeded to examine wit
nesses. Froth the testimony taken it appears
that Lindley has been in the habit of 'loaning
the funds of the county to private parties, in
violation of the law. The most important tes
timony was that of Col. Elliott, who testified
that l indley told him he bad loaned Mr.
'Cornell, cashier of the First National Bank, a
check for twenty-five thOusand dollars to tem
porarily make up a deficiency in his (Cor
nell's) account for the directors' inspec
tion, which check, a few days since,
had not been returned; also, that Cor
nell told him lie had made an exarnina
anon of the Treasurer's accounts in June;
that he took 864,000 from the hank to makeup
the deficiency; and returned the money to the
bank after the examination. Cornell subse
quently published a sworn statement that'
Lindlev's accounts were correct, of which re
port
the following is an abstract: " Balance
on hand May 1, 1869, $106,298 46 ;•received for
taxes since, $6,813 41 ; Auditor's certificate
No. 3, $306 30 ; total, $113,418 11; paid on
vouchers since May 1, 1869, $11,850 60 ; bal
ance, $101,567 57 ; amount in cash in Treasury
vault counted • by us, $103,79.2 81; surplus
cash, $2,225 24." The keys were de
livered to Mr. Reemelin yesterday, and an
examination of the vaults was, made. They..
were found entirely empty. Mr. Lindley has
tendered his resignation to the Commissioners,
and the same has been accepted. A successor
will be immediately appointed. The defi
ciency will, it is supposed, amount to $130,000.
It is also stated that Mr. Lindley was carrying
a heavy deficiency in the funds to screen Mr. •
Birt, his predecessor in office. Mr. Lindley
has heretofore stood high in . the estimation
of the public, and more blame is attached to
others than to: him for the - defalcation. Until
the appointment of a successor to Mr. Lind
ley; the office will remain in charge of Mr.
Reemelin.
