ply. and distinctly notified him. that,
in case Of failure his life should be the
forfeit. He then walked up into the

to him what he had written. The first
clause fully complied with his promise;
the second was an entire mis-
representation; and the other two &C.
knowledgments he refused to maks.-
DR.. Peters then denounced him for his
bad faith. when Van Dorm cursed him
for "cowardly dog" and ordered
him 10 leave the room, or he would
kick him out. DR.. Peters then drew
his pistol and fred, the ball taking ef.
feet in the left side Of the head, and
producing instant death.

served it as circumstantial evidence Of

WAsHEGToE, May 20.
It is announced to-day that the subscrip-
tiOus to the $50 loan win exceed $780,
100000. This fact will preclude the ne
cessity, for the present. Of any other loan
not now provided for. An claims against
the Government are paid the moment they
reach the Treasury Department. There
are now no legal claims against the Gov
eminent, duly certified to the Treasury
Department that have not been paid.
The Treasury Department has filed to-
day acquisitions for the payment of Burn
sides and Hooker's armies.
It is stated officially, that up to this time
over one hundred millions have been sub
scribed to the $40 loan. Subscriptions
continue undiminished, and till the period
for getting that loan with certainty at per
expires by statute limits, there will be no
need for other resorts for revenue.
The Secretary Of the Treasury and Comp
trOller Of the Currency, the latter of whom
left for Indiana to-day, have been for the
last three days fixing up designs for
the new circulation notes, and have com
pleted the business. The designs are to
be very picturesque, and different for
each denomination the backs represent
one of the pictures in the Capitol ro-
tunds. The front will besr two Wig.
n%ettes, n representing a scene in the
history of the United States, and the other
sllegOrically corresponding, as nearly as
possible. Across the face will be the name
Of the bank, as, for instance, "First Ma
tiOnal Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio" Pro
pOsals for dies to sngrave these designs,
which are made up from those composed
by the different competitors, were received
to-day, and a determination upon them,
will be made tomorrow. Probably the
work viii be distributed between the three
bank note companies Of New York and
one Of Philadelphia.

JOHN G. STOCKLY.-This we'll known
and respected citizen died this morning at
his residence on Prospect street, after an
illness Of about three months, contracted in
the service Of bis country, under COmmo-
dore Porter, on the Mississippi.
He was sixty-four years of age, thus I'm
ishing, as all good and loyal men would pre-
fer to finish, q long life of active usefulness
and benevOlencs, in the service OF the be-
nsfeent Government under which be had
lived and been protected, from childhood to
old sge.
Born in Philadelphia, he came to this city
at a comparatively early period, and was
among our Oldest business men. He was re-
markable for his enterprise, and it will ever
rebound to his character for forecast and en-
ergy, that he was the first to project and
build out into the lake at this port a pier for
commercial purposes, which was the test and
beginning Of that large system of pier i'm
prOVements which embrace our railroad de-
pots and outer hArboT, and he did this sue
cessfully in the face Of the distrust Of all
others as to the feasibility Of the undertak-
ing.
His heart and hand we're always open to
the poor and afflicted. He was emPhatical-
ly q good, kind, warm hearted, generous
man.
He was a thorough patriot. FroEths out
break Of the rebellion to the present moment
he had no hesitating or miserably eqaivoea-
ting idea Of his duty as an American citizen.
When a child, he was shown General Wash
ington by his mother, and he never allowed
histreeoIlection to be suPplanted by any mis-
placed federation for lattsr-day traitors. He
could see no difference between the Arnolds
Of to-day, and the Arnolds Of the Rs7olu-
lion. His father, was a Master in the naval
serviee Of that war, and he went into the
naval service of this He early expressed
the desire that he might give his remaining
days to active service wherever he could be
most useful.
He begged Commodore Porter to be allow
ed to go on the hfst gunbOst that ran the
batteries 81 Vieksbnfg, but was kindly re-
fused on account of his age, He came home
some weeks ago stricken with disease, but
showing to the last that be was happy to
have given his life to his country, and Ieav-
ing his admonitions to others to be ever faith
full to the GoVernment.-Hsrad, Nay 22d.

against y55A at yesterday 5 Second Board. New York
Central and some OF the Western shares were also
sold at a lurtLer concession, but these comparatively

ARRESTED FOR CoNTEMPT-Yesterday
morning Justice Brown caused Samuel
Baldwin, Esq, to be arrested for contempt
of Court. The alleged contempt occurred on
the 2sth of April last, on which occasion
Baldwin, after striving in vain to convince
the Justice that he Was mistaken in some
point of law, told the Justice that he was a
I'd fool" After several weeks deep
reflection upon the matter the Justice seems
to have reached the conclusion that the at
tOrney was guilty Of contempt and accord
ingly had him arrested.
Baldwin obtained a writ Of habsas corpus,
on which he was taken out Of the hands of
the constable and thus saved from duranee.
The writ is to have a hearing before the
Court Of Common Pleas this morning.
