GiLUrous, 0.. July 21.—U is estimated that ■
folly 15,000 persons attended tbo Democratic
mooting boro to-d*y, coming not only from this
but surrounding counties. Col. Joliu A. Vance
presided. Hpoccbes wore made by Qov. Alloo,
the Hon. George 11. Pendleton, end others. Mr.
Pendleton opened by stating that it non thirty
yearn elnoo l>o had Boon thiH city, end roraorkod
iK&t the voyage then was a difficult one. After
touching lightly upon the cauno of hia coming
now, ho branched out into politics. 110
epoko of ttio meeting of the Bopubllcnn
Convention lant year. and tho claims m Us
platform, but wold that tine year U tunes Its
voice to a different key, and only declared itself
in favor of our public-school uyutem and a sep
aration of Church and State. Upon tboso points
ho Bald tbo Democrats could have no argument
with tho llepublicanß, ami ho quoted from tbo
platform to show that tbo Democratic party
would uphold tbo titato CouetUntioii in this re
spect. Uo interpreted tho platform to mean,
“ Adherence to tbo principles of a Gov
ernment established hy tho fathers;
opposition to all encroachments of
one department upon another, or by tbo Fed
oral power upon the cmmiHutional righta of tho
Htaton; equality before tho law of all citizens?
one PrcriclouUal term? retrenchment v.horovor
there is extravagance; reform wherever there Is
abuse? uo nubsidion; public land for actual set
tlore? a tantr for revenue only; equal and oxaot
justice to all religious; fvoo secular education in
public schools; opposition to imiuptuarv Jaws, to
rnlorlerenco with social habits not criminal, to
malignant espionage, and on llnaucial questions
a condition of contraction, a Bound and sufficient
onrronev; promotion of industries tho surest
road to tho appreciation of paper to par with
gold; greenbacks instead of National Bonk
notes? greenbacks for osutoais to the extent
that tho necessities of tbo Government will
permit.**
This platform, bo claimed, bad boon misrep
resented. It called for n currency equal to the
wants of trade, ami that ho claimed vroa a fitting
measure for tho volume of currcuty. Every Issue
of tbo Government paper, whether legal.tender
or not, every vcstrio'.od banking-system, has been
an effort to make uud keep a currency equal, ac
cording to tho Judgment of the Government, to
tho want* of trade. So with every free bank
ing-fyetom. Tbo Democrats do not favor a de
preciated currency. 110 thought bo interpreted
tho opinion of the parly and platform when ho
declared they wore in favor of coin as
tho basis of currency; 'Vat * paper
currency should bo convo;«*lo into coin
at par? that the parly dosiro a return
to specie pavmcaU ns speedily aa the interests of
labor and bUHiuoss will permit; that wo would
bo glad to return immediately, if honor aud
good faith and uuttco would poamt, and it wore
possible. Tho Democratic party is not now, and
never has boon, in favor of repudiation in any
form. Wo do believe it is our highest duty to
fulfill all our country’s obligations according to
tbo opint and letter of our promlsofl.
Wo ore not now, aud never have boon, in
favor of a volume of currency changing and
fluctuating according to tbo whims of parties or
(be Intercuts of bankers, or tbo demands of
reckless speculators, but sufficient for tbo easy,
active, economical interchange of commodities,
and os Uxod and stable os tbo nature of tbo coho
will allow ? and, ho long as w« must bavo a Gov
ernment paper currency, wo prefer greenbacks,
which oro Round, aud cheap, ana good, to
National Bank notes, which, at (bo outset,
cost tho people 6 per cent, aud aro at lost only
redeemable m greenbacks.
Uo confessed that there were defeats and dan
gers in this coin basis system; that the super
structure of paper was larger than tbo founda
tion of coin, aud that as tbo superstructure
grown higher it grows wider and larger. But bo
would not discuss to-day tbo merits of various
kinds of currency. Tho present necessities de
mand relief that should bo promptly furnished.
Uo repeated that bo was a bard-monoy man; that a
return to bpoclo payments should bo kept
steadily in view in legislative action, and that
wise statesmanship will seek the moans of recon
ciling such return with tbo three interests of lap
bor, ami business, aiid justice to (bo debtor.
Boaumptloo eamidt bo forced. It must be tbo
proper outgrowth of a surrounding boalthy con
dition, or it will bo uolthor beneficial nor perma
nent. When lu Congress ho voted against
the Legal-Tender act, believing the law
nnoonHUiutlonal and the policy unwise. As tno
policy became interwoven with our system of
finance aud trade, bo would seek all the good be
eoald find in it. Uo would not abandon specie
payments, but bo would not rush ruthlessly
book to specie payments over tbo prostration of
all business and tbo ruin of tbo debtor. The
Democrats established tbo sub-treasury system,
and tbo Government, in 18CI, paid nothing but
gold aud silver. A Republican Congress
Sassed tbo Bond set, tbo Legal-Tender act, and
atlonai Bank act. Gold aud silver ceased to
circulate, aud, in 16C5, the various issues of
Smonov bad reached an enormous sum.
commenced the llopubllcan system of
finance,—to contract tbo currency, and. if
necessary to this end, increase tbo Interest-pay-
Ing debt, and contraction bos boon steadily
going on. With the decrease iu currency has
been a decline in the prosperity and happiness
of the country, until now we are confronted with
a condition ox affairs wliich all feel tooknonly to
taiako description nocessarv. To-day there is
more property fur sale on execution by Sheriffs
of Ohio than over before. Gold and paper
stand to-day at a difference of VI percent. A.
year ago the difference was 10 per oout. Itepnb-
Uoaos claim contraction as a remedy for
those things. Congress baa paaaed a law de
claring that resumption shall take place la
January, 1879} and the Treasury 1h prspariog
t“U by buying gold and silver. Every dollar
of gold purchased with bonds for the redeinp-
Uon of greenbacks adds to the annual interest.
It is the old story of funding a debt which pays
no interest in bonus which pay large interest.
He showed comparison that tbo export® of
flour, wheat, cotton, petroleum, meals, turpen
tine, tallow, tobacco, and timber had
fallen off 187,000,000 since last year, and
claimed that we bad bean burning the caudle at
both ends. The Democratic party points to a
middle path as the way to safely abandon thla
policy of contraction. Stop tinkering with the
murenoy. Stop this effort at forcing resump
tion. Give stability for a time. Give business a
moment to revive. Promote Industry and pro-
Auction. BUmulateJenterpriso by the prospect of
gain. Labor more and spend lata. The areal
want of the country is so lire freedom for labor
a removal of every obstacle, tbs presence of
every aid. Fair prices, steady markets ready
sales are aids, and to secure these a sufficient
and sound currency and low interest are Indis
pensable, and If there no added low taxes, rigid
toonomy, simplicity of government, purity of
idmtoistraUon. that motion will be continued
tad accelerated.

opening speech, in which bo reminded tbo mem
bers of tbo encomiums that bod boon passed
upon tbo working of tbo Convention last

responses wore not satisfactory. The Committee
despatched Hester, tbeir Huporiutondont, aud
Mr. Buck, of Now Orleans, to various points ou
tho Ohio oncl Mississippi rivers, to chock tho
overland movement of cotton northward.
Through the very thorough manner in which tbooo

Committee hoped to bavo positive data with re
gard to cotton sent northward, and combining
this special information with the full returns of
HontUero consumption from tho mills, and with
tho figures of tbu receipts at various ports, they

THE SECOND DAY OP THE CHICAGO MEETING.
The second day of tbo Dexter Park meeting
waa attended with the same auspicious weather
and fine condition of track that favored (ho
races the day before. There won a much larger
attendance, fully 3,G00 people beiug present, and
the races wore of a modi moro interesting char
acter. They included the 2:34 and 2:23 trotting
dataes, in both of which there wore a fine field
of entries, and a running race which excited a
great deal of intercut, and which included
Aratnoa, Winifred, Col. XUcely, Vicksburg, and
Mainsail.
All of the race* paused off to the satisfaction
of everybody. There waa lively pool-selling at
tho outset, but tbo Jockeying iu favor of tho
gambling clique, thanks to tbo prompt action of
Col. Mansur, wan abolished, and tbo heaviest
parties interested had no reason to complain of
the result of tho contents. They wore con
ducted, ax was evident to those whom tho “ pull
ing'’ and gouging of tho day before bad ren
dered watchful, entirely anon tho square.
Tho Judges acted with au agreeable measure
of dispatch in getting Ilia horses upon the track
and hastening the races, and it la likely that they
would have acted upon tho advice of Tub
TiuduNK and have Immediately stopped dis
honest practices had they seen any going for
ward. As soon as Cot. Mansur became aware of
tho practices which bad led to the indignation
of a largo number of people on Tuesday, ho took
prompt measures to prevent a repetition of the
same, and that ho succeeded is evinced by tho
satisfaction which was shown with all of yester
day's contests.
THR FIRST RACE
of tho day was that for horses going in tho 2:34
class, fora premium of SI,OOO, —$850 to first,
S3OO to second, S2OO to third, and $l5O to fourth.
Tho entries wore Poavino. Anglo-Saxon. Jesse
O. Liudoll, Young Magna. Flota, Frank Beeves,
Kilty Stratton, aud George Johnson. Kitty
titration drew the polo, and all started.
After being sunt back tbroo or four times, a
fair start was mode for
THE FIRST HEAT,
with tbo polo burse slightly In advance.
Frank Hooves and Young Magna bold
closo to bor withers, and at tbo first
turn showed np wool! to her nose.
Tbo other burses scattered along in positions not
easily to bo told to tho half. Frank Beeves thou
worked up to second place, followed closely by
Young Magna, with Pcavino not far lu tbo roar.
Ou tbo third quarter Young Magna aud Frank
Hooves moved closer to tbu van horse, and tho
whole field worked along more rapidly, and tbo
positions In several of tbo roar nags wore
changed. Kitty Stratton still maintained tbo
lead as they turned into the homo-stretch, with
Frank Beeves aud Young Magna at bsr hips.
Tbo latter borto bore quickened up materially
ami forced Kitty Stratton off tier foot. She did
not recover herself in timo to bold her
advantage, aud oamo under tbo wire
on a break lu fifth place, Magna
taking tbo boat and Frank lUovoa getting sec
ond place, Anglo-Saxon third, Flota fourth, Kitty
Stratton fifth, George JobuHoo sixth. Jesse G.
Limloll soveotb, Peaviue eighth. Timo, 2:33j£.
In tbo
SECOND HEAT
tbo horses were sent away ou tbo first attempt
at scoring. Anglo-Saxon shot to the front be
fore tho curve of (bo track was turned. This
load bo bold without difficulty, keeping jurt
about a length ahead of Frank Beeves, who
came second, under easy driving. On tbo first
turn tbo others farmed a string and worked
along at no remarkable speed, strangling in un
der too wire one after another. Timo, 2:31%.
THE TUI BO HEAT
was somewhat muru interesting, and resulted In
nu oxiilbitiou of speed which probably wan not
Intentional, and proved tho (superiority, undof
square driving, of Young Maguo, tho winner of
tiio Unit boat. An tho horses passed Uio wire
Anglo-Saxon again spurted to tho front, followed
by Hooves unit Young Magna. Tho luttor was
allowed hit) best work, and speedily urged Hooves
into a break and went for tho front horse with
the same intention. At tho quarter ho hod about
rondo up his difference and was rapidly collaring
Anglo-Saxon. On tho second quarter these
horses (Baton and Magna) wore very close, and
a very pretty raco it was to tho three-quarter
pole. At that point Magna commenced
to do some fine footing, and made rapidly for tho
ground ahead. Ho took tho front as they
swung into tho homo-stretch and held it to tho
close, Kitty Btrattou second, Anglo-Baxoo third,
Frank Hooves, George Johnson, I'iota, and
Llndoll in tho order mentioned, and Peaviuo
distanced. Time, 2:21).
lu tho
FOURTH HEAT
Young Charts was again successful, winning the
heat and race. It was not at all interesting,
from the fact that tho winner took a decided
load at the start and hold it to the lost. Tho re
sult of tho raco was a foregone conclusion oven
before tho word was given. It w&s
obvious tho othor nags hail no chance
against what had proved a homo hi the
twenties. Tho thno made was 2:2D>a. Frank

Aramus, Vicksburg, and Winifred, sprang out at
a daub and left the others considerably iu the

body, pushed rapidly to the front, and, after the
first polo was passed, showed slightly ahead
of tbo favorite. Vicksburg, too, was not idle,
and, urged by bis rider, clung to tbo nock hair of
(be leaders, At the half, Aramus. Winifred,
and Vicksburg wore almost neck and neck,
Winifred, perhaps, having slightly the best of it.
As tbo horses passed that point Aramus quick*'

loaders. In the third quarter the same relative
positions wore maintained, Aramus, bowovsr,

THE 2:2.1 CLASH.
Tho next race, and tho most interesting one in
tl.e trotting classes thus far, was for horaos in
the 2:23 class, for a premium of (2,000—(1,100
to flrat; (100 to second : (.100 to third ; and
(200 to fourth. The entries wore Cozetto, Bella.
Fred Hooper, Brother Jonathan. Lady Starr,
and liandall. All atattod with tho exception of
Fred Hooper. The following was tho order:
Ilrollier Jonathan, Lady Btarr, Kandali, Bella,
and Cozetto.
lutho
two attempts wore made helms a good atari was
obtained. At the outset Holla and Lady Stair
wont to tbo front. ICand&ll wont into tho sir
badly, and Cozotte tumbled down to last place
full live lengths behind Uio leaders. Lodytitarr
and Bella bold very closo to each other during
tho trotting of tbo second quarter. Tho latter,
however, seemed out of condition, aud eased hor
feet with a hobbling which had not been ob
served in any of her other contents. On tho
bock-stretch Jonathon crawled up from tho rear,
and went very fn»t.
Della at the half parted company with tho Lady,
by a buick brook which took tier to tho front.
Jonatliauoml Htorr then took up tho roce to
gether, and Cozotte fell behind in a break in
which elio failed to cover ground. On tho third
quarter Jonathan spurred titan to a bad break,
in which she proved a bad runner, oud collared
Bella, whom ho beat to the wiro tu epito of sev
eral rapid- skips, which look her along faster
than her trotting gait. lUndall second; Delia,
sot back for running, third; Cozetlo fourth;
Lady titarr distanced. Time, 'I: 2CJ£.
In tho
there wan considerable trouble in effecting a
start. When tbo word was given, Jonathan
wont under the wire on a break, and Randall end
Bella took front places to tbo quarter-polo, leav
ing him some distance in the roar. Ihese posi
tions wero unchanged to tho back, although liau
dill, Bella, and Jonathan made several breaks.
Cozotte, who was working very steadily, passed
tho Ucld ouo after another, and turned mlo the
homo roadway almost even with Bella. Jona
than, who was severely urged, vent off his foot
after getting second place, and Cozotte trotted
to (ho wire without mmh exertion in 2:2;
Bella second, Jonathan third, and Bandail
fourth.
In tho
rnmn uj»at
a Bend ofT wag had without much deity. Bella
and Haudall agaiu took tbo race Into tlicir own
bauds, and got first places. Ou tho find turn
Cozetto dropped way hack, and Jonathan roads
a bad break, which hurt his prospects. Bella
(rained gradual)** on Cozotte. and at the quarter
load her a length, Haudall third and Jonathan
fourth. Tbo latter was pricked up to a very fast
pace, pud an the hpiue-atroich was reached was
close upon Cozoite. Tho latter lapped Bella at
the head of tho stretch, and wont by her
a few longthd. Jonathan come along
under high prefigure, and closed a
considerable spaco which stood against him.
Cozetto, however, held tho lead and paused tho
Judges fully two lengths ahead. Time, ihk'jj/.
lu tho fourth boat Bella got the heat o! the
send off, took tho pole, and succeeded in putting
Jonathan In tho pocket, before tho first turn wan
reached. Ho lost thereby about two lengths.
Cozetto from tho start worked rapidly to tho
front, hut was overtaken by Jonathan at tho
lower turn. Ho thou broke, hut rallied nobly,
and did some very fast trotting. Ho failed,
however, to overhaul Cozetto, and she won the
heat and race by barely a nock. Jonathan sec*
ond, Bella third, and liandall a bad fourth. Tho

BALLOONING.
Farther Speculations Concerning Don-
aldson and Orimwood.
The misadventures of a H’ew Orleans
Aeronaut.
There waft no news of tho balloon yesterday,
and it is thought extraordinary that, if it went
into the lake, no trace of it or its occupants have
yet been discovered.
tub For.T/Owrun wtobt
regarding tho missing balloon has been current
around tho docks during the last few days.
Some vessel-men claim that h is bat a hoax,
gotten np by the Captain of the Hansen, while
others state that it ta strictly true. The Annie
0. Hansea leaving port again before tho story
became current, tbegentlcman Inmeclf could not
be interviewed in regard to it. Tho etory
seems very probable and, confirms tho reports
made by the Captains of tho Little Guido, the
Now Era, and tbo Queen of the West, and, if
true, establishes tho fact beyond a doubt
that tho unfortunate men wero caught in
tbs gale aud found a watery
grave on tbo bottom of Lane Michigan:
At about 1 o’clock Thuntdav night, when the
gale was at Its height.- the Captain of tho
schooner Annie O. Hansen, who wan on bin wav
i from Oteon Bay to this city, saw about midway
between here and Grand Haven wbat he believed
to bo » square-rigged vohrol running with the
wind at a furious speed. Tbo night was pitch
dark, and tbo Captain could therefore see nor hear
hut very little, aud betides had to do oil he could
to look ont for the safetv ot bis own frail craft.
BUil bo thought it strange that the queer craft,
which was going at such speed, should have no
tight. Ho managed to turn his vessel in several
directions to look for the lights of tho craft, aud
to see ou which side of ber he was. so as to pre
vent a collision. But, no matter how ho turned,
presented tho eanie appearance, and the Captain
became mystified, not knowing what to make of
tho strange monster which ho could but dimly
see m the darkness. It finally passed him, and
was soon out of eight, running towards the city.
Tbo Captain is an honest, simple-minded Ger
man. and incapable of tolling a falsehood. At
the time ho met tho monster speeding across
the waves bo know nothing of tbo balloon,
and hence could not imagine in tho darkness
what it woe. When, they arrived hero he was
asked whether ho had heard from the balloon by
a prominent tugmao, and he at once replied
that bo had scon a craft that resembled such a
thing speeding at a furious rate towards tho
western shore, and at onco expressed his opinion
that
rr was the hissing iiat.loon.
There can bo but Utile doubt that, if the Cap*
tain saw tho balloon skipping across the water,
it must have encountered the gale some 40 or
50 miles off Grand Haven. At that timo the
balloon had undoubtedly tort its buoyancy, and
was near to if not on the water. The two tu>*
fortunate aoronaute
COULD lIAUDT-T HAVE LIVED
more than a few minutes after being struck by
the gale, for, at tho terrible speed at which the
balloon wa£ driven over tho rolling waved drag*
eing Iho basket along, they must have
been washed out In a few minutes. There
is, however, a probability that tho two men, if
both were still in the basket when the storm
camo up, cut it loose from the unwieldy gae-bag,
put wore thrown out and drowned by the waves.
While a person may survive a fearful storm on ft
piece of hoard, it is tho opinion of experienced
vcsdol-mou that tho basket could not have earned
any weight in any kind of weather. Tho piano
cover with which it was lined amounted to noth*
iug. A cork bottom would havo kept it above
water, but onlv bottom-side up, ana aa It is
stated that it bad a cork bottom, the men prob
ably lost their lives by the capsizing'of the
basket, and as it was bottom-hide up the Captain
of tho Now I'ra took it to be a barrel.
A correspondent makes
TIIK FOLLOWING SUGGESTION:
JS (A* Editor of Thr I'M'iUo TVitan*
Cuicaoo, July 21.—Why could not Mr. Donation,
with the experience he had aud tho ouly limans of
safety from no approaching storm, bare alighted on
some island Id the lake, and at the present time be etlU
there sod shut out from all communication with man
kind 7 1 throw out this suggestion lor what It is
worth. Respectfully, L. Mocat.
This theory la, however, completely upset by
tbo foot that there aro no inlands in tho lake.

A NBW ORLEANS ADVENTURE.
The New Orleans Timra of July 19 contains
tbo following account of an aeronaut's misad
ventures in that city:
Shortly after i o’clock tbe wind mse eteadily with
tbe approach of rain cloud*, ami 1q five minute* It wae
blowing a gale. l)o*plto tbe mo»t attenuuua eiertiona
of at Ivat Uiirty men, tbe balloon tore around fran
tically, and tugged at tbe gaa-comluctor, untlliuddcnly
tbe latter aoap|<ed off,ami thro Moua. Chevalier, Boeing
It would he im|>oe«ible to keen tbo balloon down—fur
it was dragging tbe car and tho meu who were bolding
it—quickly leaped Into toe basket, call'd upon the men
to let go, and, io I hewaa away. Bailing Into apace,
through a aharp rainstorm, which, at that Juucturo,
oet in wttn violent fury.
At flrat tba balloon roae ao that the ear waa at an ele

northwesterly dtreatinn, directly ran afoul .or aoma

Everybody expected io «oe Chevallar fail headlong to

hands to the ring above the ear, while the crowd
cheered luatlly to aee that bla nerve and skill bad
atooa by him, to aave him, at least, from aeiioua In
jury, if not from death.
Fur fully a minute ha hong thus impended, while
the balloon ewayed hoalUthigly back and forth, when
luckily It suddenly righted, and alniullauoouety there

An Extraordinary Meeting of tho
Cabinet Yesterday.
The Gates of Fishor and Delano under
Consideration.
A nattering Prospect of the Former’s
Involuntary Retirement,
Delano's Fate as Much in tho Dark as
Ever,
CABINET MEETING,
FISHER'S CASE.
Brtftial DUvateh U> Th» Chxeao* tribune.
Washington, D. C., July 21.— President Grant
unexpectedly arrived hero this foreuoon. Ilia
coming was as mysterious as tho Cabinet meet
ing which was immediately called. Tbo Cabinet
officers wore forthwith summoned by special
messengers to meet at 12 o’clock. The session
lasted, without iulermlsHion. until 3 o'clock, and
was at times very animated. There probably
has not boon a Cabinet meeting during the Ad
ministration of President Grant when the in
junction of secrecy has been so mandatory or
has been so carefully observed. All tbo mem
bers were enjoined not only not to talk about
tho meeting, but not to mention tho
subjects of discussion, snd the President
InmHolf is silent. The following, however, de
rived from authoritative sources, is believed to
bo In substance true: The meeting, as to its
main topic, was divided into two parts: Tbe
discussion of tho Fisher matter, and tbo considera
tion of questions relating to tbo Interior Depart
ment. The (lest subject, together with some
| mlHcellatioous routine business from tbe dilfer
ent Departments, occupied two hours. Tho
second question consumed tbo remaining hour.
At the cummsncemeut of tno lost hoar, Secreta
ry Delano withdrew. Ah to
TUB FISHER MATTER,
the Cabinet were unanimous. 60 much* can
Lo ofiiciallr staled, and there cau bo no doubt
that tho unanimity was In favor of Fisher's
speedy if not immediate dismissal. * It is under'
stood that the president caused it to bn known
that in requesting the Attorney General tempo*
ranly to suspend tlio order of roaoval Ue did
not intend to antagonize tbe tbreo influential
Cabinet officers who recommended Fisher's re*
moval, but that on tho contrary ho only wished
that tho apparently Ju*t request of Fisher for a
hearing snould bo granted, and that meanwhile
the subject might formally b« considered in
Cabinet. Tbe story of
toiirii's lax administration
had never boon presented to tho Profident as it
wae set forth in Cabinet meeting today, ami it
ia evident that tho Cabinet wore unanimous Hist
Fisher should bo removed. Tho additional
charge has been recently filed that bo bad al
lowed nil tho keno banks ip Washington to ro
sumo operation. Tiie decision lo this matter
will very soon bo made public.
What tbo nature of tbo discussion or action
was relative to
TUB INTEBIOB DErABTKKNT
is not so clear. It is certain that Secretary De
lamo left this meeting, because it was supposed
that matters possibly personal toliimsolf wore to
bo considered. The Marsh charges wore not
specially considered, but there is reason to know
that so far so tbo Cabinet mooting had any re*
lailon to Mr. Delano, It means that bo will re
main in office for an indefinite period, and that
bo will not retire, if at all, until the Marsh
investigation is ended. There is little doubt
that tlio President baa said as much.
The routine business of tbo meeting consisted
in disposing of minor appointments in tbe dif
ferent Departments.
The President and Geo. Babcock left for Long
Branch thin evening.

ANOTBEB ACCOUNT Of TUB SIEmNO.
WifmrsoToN, D. 0., July 21.—There was much
routine business transacted at the Cabinet meet-
ing to-day. A part of tbo time was occupied
with tho snbjoct of District-Attorney Fisher’s
official conduct. Tlio President, in asking At
torney-General Piorrepont to suspend bis re
quest of District-Attorney Fisher to resign,
merely desired to afford the Uttar an opportunity
fully to reply to the complaints against
him affecting tho administration of his
office. There will bo do further jntervimtion by
the President. The Attorney-General will
therefore act In such manner as bo msv deem
proper, and with this understanding the Cabinet
are satisfied. Tho son of District-Attorney
Fisher to-day resigned bis position a a Assistant.
retired early from the Cabinet, (he business
which he laid before tho President concerning
bis Department having first been considered.
Contrarv to rumor, tho faetjof bis thus retiring
ban no significance whatever concerning lua of
ficial position. _

Washington, D. C., July 2L— The point to
which gold foil to-day, gives the Treasury
officers more confidence Lu the practicability of
enforcing the law for (bo substitution of silver
for fractional currency. If gold can bo long
maintained at this point, they hold that green
backs are worth as much as gold, and silvor coin
can bo floated. The plan of the Treasury in, in
the event that the gold premium shall warrant
it, to put in circulation about October tho very
considerable amount of silver coin already on
hand, and which can easily bo coined, and to
keep it floating by the monthly coinages.

London, July I.—Quo of Ue moat Interesting
Clue Hooka issued daring this Hessian of Parlia
ment la,Uve annual report of the l-Mucallou Co
partmont, published yesterday. During tho year
ending Aug. 31,1874, the accommodations In tho
Inspected schools increased from 2,582,519 to
2.8/1,820 places; In I'iC!) tho number of places la
tiie schools wad 1,765,314. this la equivalent to
an advance from 8.34 to 12.14 In the percent
ages for population. An addition of room for
nearly 1.100,000 lu Are years is satisfactory; hut
the fact remains that more (ban 3,200.000
children ought to ho receiving dally
cftictnnt infltruedon. The number ia arrived at
in ibm way : JJy the last census tbo total num
ber of children of school age (3 to 13). as dellnod
by tbo K(location act, la 5.374,301, or 23 per cent
of the total population. Deducting one-seventh,
on account of children of a elans above that to
be found In public elementary schools, there re
main 4,600,514 to Ik> provided with tho means of
elementary Instruction; hut assuming, os wo
fairly may, that each child goos to school for
only seven out of ten years of its proper school
life, we find that there should bo 3,224,530 chil-
(Iron under such daily Instruction. The increased
accommodation is derived f-om various sources.
A number of schools have been completed to
which grants in aid of building expenses
wero awarded from tho money toted by
Parliament; and it is expected, when tho last
grants in aid of now or enlarged schools are
paid, that about 300,000 additional children will
in this manner alone bo efficiently provided for.
Tho voluntary contributions hitherto made to
moot those grants amount lo X 1,038,518. Be
sides, many elementary schools have avaibd
themselves of tho increased grants which were
promised on tbo passing of tbo education act by
placing themselves under official inspection.
Another source hi found in tho provision of tho
new building*, or tho taking over of existing
premises, by hcliool boards. Most of the capi
tal is derived from advances made by tho Public
Works Loan Commissioners upon tho security of
the local rates. These loans now amount in tho
aggregate to £4,180,000, and represent new ac
commodation for some 870.050 scholars. Tho
coat of tho schools to tho taxpayers has been
from 3d to Is 4d in tho pound. Tbe whole sum
paid on behalf of Indigent parents was only
XC.C 23. The amount or free paid in school*
ponco by tho other parents was X 75.217.
