A WASHINGTON dispatch saws:

The steady rise in gold in Wall street in
the face of Mr.. Chase's measures to keep it
down, is exciting the most serious alarm
here, and the House has been impelled to
work very vigorously on the tax bill in Or
der to apply a corrective to the present
state of affairs. Secretary Chase's declara-
tion that unless we have military successes
our finances will 90 to the dogs, is severely
criticised here. 1t is argued that the mon
ey of the people should not be taken unless
it is the purpose of the Government to re-
pay them whether the South is conquered
or not. The payment of a debt, it is said,
should not be conditioned upon anything.
Much is hoped from Gen. Grants move
ment, but if he fails it will throw the
Treasury Department into the most dread
full confusion. ,-u4.r IN
