A New York correspondent of the Philadelphia
North Ana1can writes as follows -
0The sub-treasury has now accumulated s. 200 900 |
of COIN and the banks are getting little skittish
again. The Secretary of the Treasury has accord |
ingy ordered that no further payments the loan |
shall be made until the amount in State Treasury
As reduced to S50o,000n
This paragraph may possibly lead TO some MIS-
apprehension, as it is not strictly correct. The !
Secretary of the Treasury has no power to order
aIdlscontnuance OF payments on the loan; nor
las he done so. BY mutual agreement with the
purchaser, however, he enter into an arrange
ment; not to require payments unless when It
suits the convenience of both parties; but he can
not order or refuse 10 receive any payment If ten
dered The true state OF the case is as follows
In the late loan OF $40, 0O0, 900, Messrs Corcoran
& Riggs became purchasers 10 the amount of
fourteen. millions of dollars, and 1t was manly
through the spirited conduct of these gentlemen
that the. loans sold for as high premium as was
obtained VI course IN order to meet the payments
for this large amount, Messers Corcoran K
Riggs are Obliged to sell, and if compelled TO
make payments rapidly, they could have no other
course open than to throw large amount of stock
INTO the market, where II might, IN consequence,
suffer depreciation. Government does not, at
present, want the money, and as an act of courtesy
TO these gentlemen, as well beneficial measure
TO itself, an agreement has been entered into to
the necessity to overflow the market has been OBJ
waited, as well as the government relieved from
paying interest on a large sum, which il does not
stand IN need Of. Of course, any party entitled TO
stock, has an undoubted right to make payments
into the ,sub-treasury, and receive his stock. A
good deal of stock has been issued on payments
made within the last day or two.
A good deal of excitement has been caused by
the intelligence OF the attack upon Mr. Stevens, of
Georgia. We have not learned any particulars,
further than those IN this morning papers but IT
Is surmised the difficulty arose from political
causes. Mr. Stevens is one of the most brilliant
debaters in the House-and few attacked HIM
there with IMMUNITY. In personal appearance, he
is a remarkably dehcate puny man, with shrill,
cracked voice. He weighs only 100 pounds, and
Is the highest man In Congress. He was raised in
very straltened circumstances, and educated
by the charity of society of ladies', in Wash
ton, Georgia, who picked HIM up on account of
his brightness, and sent him to college, where he
was educated for a Presbyterian preacher. He
however, preferred to study law, and obtained an
honorable distinction his profession. He had
the credit of killing the compromise bill" at the
late session; and being compelled to accept after
wards the Wlmot proviso; measure ten times
more offensive to his party. We trust that he will
recover from his wounds, but 1t is generally feared
here, that they will prove mortal. OMEGA.
