the White House for the last twenty four hours Unmis
tAkeabe symptoms are visible on all sides that
decisive action bearing upon the Southern question is
about being taken by the administration. Cabinet
officer avowed today to friend that a storm was
coming.
The Cabinet meetings yesterday and oday known

THE EIGHT MILLION GOVERNMENT LOAN.
WASHINGTON, April 8, 1861.
Contrary to the expectation of bidders the Secretary
of the Treasury has decided to-day to accept offer be-
low ninety four for the eight million loan The amount
therefore, determined upon only about three millions
hundred thousand
bid made this morning for the uuawarded por
tion Of the United States loan, amounting to six
million dollars by party of New York bankers nciud
ing Messrs Clarke, Dodge 4 Co, Messrs. Morr
son. Son Morrison, Messrs Livermore Clews Co., and
Others through H. Fl. Goodman of Wall street. at fac
tion o. Secretary Chase upon careful consdera
tion Of the law authorizing the loan decided accept
private bids after the award made In this he has
similar occasion when he gave the Bank of Commerce
and others their bid the of government
which bid for as high as the limit accepted
Secretary Chase thinks it is his duty, under the law,
to advertise, and will do 80 forthwith The warlike
movements and rumors of to day, however, lead many
bidders to express themselves gratded that their bids
were not accepted.
This decision of Mr. Chase has given great dissatisac
tion, and is regarded a financial trick which must
damage the government in selling future loans, mas
much as if any bid accepted it is regarded vio
bid unless unreasonable. Had the whole amount been
accepted, would not have made difference of
half per cent to the government.
Secretary Chase and assistants yesterday continued
their abors in connection with the loan until after
midnight and they progressed far render the
issue Of stock to successful bidders the of
day possible Such prompsness and industry is unpa-
ralelcd in the annals of the Treasury department.
