THE EIGHT MILLION LOAN.
-rho o,on;,o Of the bids for the IS 100000
,osp attracted large gathering of bankers, cap
;talsts. and others at the Treasury to-day. AT
the appointed hour, Mr.. Chase appeared IN the
room Of the Assistant Secretary, and the work
immediately commenced. Every precauton was
taken against error; and to insure the utmost
satisfaction. the letters were opened by MI hod-
man Chief Clerk, then handed to Mr.. Chase,
who called the name and place OF residence, theh
10 MIR, Harrington, Assistant Secretary, VINO
stated .he amount and rate bid, and then re-
corded by Mr.. Handy, the Clerk, who repeated
them before entering. Thus any mistake could
he Immediately detected. This process occupied
three hours and half, during which time most
of the spectators remained. The same personal
Interest was never exhibited on any former oc-
cason.
The aggregate amount Of the bids reached
within fraction of S34, 600, 600, exceeding four
fold the sum required. Under the law winch
authorized this lOan the Secretary has the DIS
cretion of accepting or refusing the bids winch
have been made, and of substituting Treasury
notes. which are receivable IN payment OF pubic
dues According to an estimate made at the
Department this evening" if the whole -, cUo,OW
should ne accepted, all offers below 93.le would
be excluded. The Secretary viii determine to-
morrow whether he viii take these bids, OF
discriminate in favor of only such as he regards
most advantageous to the Government. Ills
present inclination is TO reject ali below "a, and
perhaps To rely upon Treasury notes for the
rest. The amount BID at d and upward is
s9.095. coo; between 1915 and "a, syst, Oc0'
between $3.50 and 1915, 81, 127,00O. Total OF
the three classes, $4,50S, 600.
II Is now considered nearly certain that the new
Treasury Notes can be put out at par, or at
fractional premium. An offer Of S2,0OO,0CO at
per cent was made to-day, independent OF the
loan bids Ia order to have the advantage Z"
this resource, the Secretary has already ordered
the notes to be engraved, so as TO be prepared
10 issue taem if necessary. The Treasury has
been pat in the best possible condition within
the short time which has elapsed since Mr.
Chase entered Office. A comparison with the
result FIVE weeks ago VIII illustrate this point
Inc.e satisfactorily. The bids for So,OOo,uW,
advertised by Gen. Dix, were opened on the 2@d
% February; $l4,460,000 were offered at 9o3'
or about 8 per cent less than now proposed
'Ths improvement in the face of existing eInbar-
easements, is the highest proof OF confidence III
the Administration. Capital viii not seek invest
rnent without that confidence
THE EXTRA SESSION PROPOSITION.
So far as means are concerned, 40 necessity
for an extra session exists. Nothing but some
great public emergency VIII induce the President
10 summon one. Thus far, the revenues have
reached y thin few thousand dollars Oi the es-
Inmates made soon after Mr.. Chase came into
the Department. The reasons assigned in po-
litical circles for calling Congress together are
not regarded as sufficient here There must be
strong ones TO iustify such resort, even though
regarded With favor by portion of the Cabinet.
SEw-YoRK DISPATCH AGENT.
Mr.. Irving has been appointed Dispatch Agent
at New York, vice Charles Stctson, declined.
This Office is important now, when most of the
foreign missions are about to be changed.
TIE NEW TARIFF.
The aeU tariff has been thoroughly analysed ut
the Treasury Department, aud tables printed and
sent 70 the various Collectors, with all the articles
classified under their appropriate heads and rates
These tables may be regarded substantially in
the light Of Instructions, since they exhibit the
view and the classification of every description
of merchandise named in the bill, as regarded BY
the Department. After the tariff has gone into
operation practically specific Instructions may be
given concerning particular details, about which
the revenue officers may be in doubt. All the
statements Of an intention the part Of the
Secretary TO throw obstacles in the way, are OF
course fabricated. He win see the law admins
tered in its letter and spirit, and require sub
erdinates to do their duty, irrespective of any
opinion they may entertain as TO tie policy OF
the MEASURE.

Harrisburg, and was on duty this morning The

FORT SUMTER.
No orders have been given for any vessel in
connection with the removal of Maj. Anderson's
command, aud none are immediately contem-
plated In fact, it is by no means certain that
he viii be withdrawn, until some difficulties are
relieved, which now embarrass that step.
