The Secretary Of the Treasury has framed a
financial bill and handed it to the Committee on
Ways and Means, which provides for funding all
the obligations of the Government in forty year
bonds bearing not less than six per cent interest
payable in gold. This q 1Tement accounts, says
the Cincinnati Gazette, at least, for the
general break in the New York stock market to-
day, as it foreshadows a funding process which
Wall street has been slow TO believe possible, but
of which, nevertheless, it has been in daily fear.
The long bonds proposed to be issued would be
very popular abroad, and their sale for foreign
consumption. while it would contract the eurren-
cy at home. would also depress the price of gold.
The theory of Mr. McCulloch is that every step
bonds in Europe. anu would. therefore, counter
act any depression in our own markets, that
might result from contraction of the currency.
The response from England and Germany to the
Secretarys report fully sustains this theory. and
shows that the funding process is likely to prove
much easier than -contractionists would have
it appear.

DR.. Dapia r. McGdpock, an old and
highly popular citizen, died at his residence
near this city on the evening of the 9th inst
His death will bring grief TO large circle
Of devoted relatives and friends DIR. Nc
Gavock was born in this vicinity of one Of
the earliest and most respectable familiee
which settled this region; and his connec-
ton by kinship was very extensive. The
heir to an ample fortune, he graduated in
medicine, but we believe, never practised
the art His attention was directed TO the
care of his lands and property, and to the
cultivation Of stock. He was one Of the
most heightened patrons of the Southwestern
turf He was an amiable gentleman, and
commanded respect in every walk of life

INTERESTING TO TRAvELLERs.-The fol-
lowing "rules of the road are based upon
legal decisions, and ought to be universally
made known. The courts have decided
that applicants for tickets on railroads can
be elected from the cars If they do not offer
the exact amount Of their fare. Conductors
are not bound to make change, All rail-
road tickets are good until used, conditions
good for this day only" or otherwise adj
hitting time Of genuineness, are Of no ac-
count. Passengers who lose their tickets
can be elected from the cars unles they pur,,
chase second one. Passengers are bound
TO observe decorlum in the cars, and are
obliged TO comply with all reasonable de-
mands to show their tickets. Standing upon
the platform or otherwise violating the
rules of the company renders person LA
bic to be put from the train No person has
right TO monopolize more seats than he
has paid for and any article left IN a seat
while the owner is temporarily absent enti-
ties him TO the place upon his return.

is issued in a compact form, which well

ferry Pc L1cE-The time is approaching
when new policemen are to be elected for
the city. This il matter which should re-
ceive special attention, and we notice with
pleasure that means are being used to secure
the services of class of men fully compe-
tent to discharge the arduous duties required
in that department.
1t is, we believe, general complaint IN al
most every city in the Union, that the eiiec-
tive police force is entirely too small TO ae-
complsh all the ends for which such an or
ganiEation is established. We trust that our
CITY will become an exception to this almost
general rule and that the future quiet and
order Of the community may be conclusive
evidence that the police are not unmiadspl
of their duty.
rAnother Improvement, which we would
mention in passing, is the adoption of some
plan by which criminals may be speedily
apprehended, outside Of the corporate
limits. Ii seems 10 us that some measures
might be taken 70 secure the speedy arrest OF
those desperadoes who hang on the outskirts
of the CITY, and commit crime almost with
impunstv, at least SO far as the city police is
concerned. In the locality between
"Hell's half Acre. and the Franklin Pike
many thieves, robbers, and other despera.
does have their hiding places, and cannot be
reached by the city police proper
Ii is an undoubted fact that every evil ha
a certain remedy, and the exceptions only
t,nd TO establish the general rule. IL i
therefore evident that these men can be ap
eprehended speedily IL proper measures ar
taken instead Of the slow process Of appre
hending them by the tedious formalitie
now in use.
As this subject is soon TO be agitated, w
see no reason why it may not be considers
in all It's details.

FREEDMENs CoURF.-The case of Sally
Morgan, colored, versus William Peoples,
was heard Yesterday. 1t will be remember
ed that on the 9th Of December last, ne
gro named Albert Gibbs was shot on Cherry
street, near Lincoln alley, by a white man
named William Peoples. A preliminary
examination was made at the time; but
Yesterday the case was more fully tried,
suit having been commenced by Sally Nor
gan. to recover damages. She had lived
with Gibbs, and was 20 have been married
10 him about the time the shooting occurred.
The evidence yesterday was that the de-
ceased Gibbs was passing in front of the
door Of the prisoner-William Peoples.
Jus. as he reached the center of the door,
the report Of pistol was heard and Gibbs
exclaimed: ooh, God, Fam shoti" The
deponent went up TO him, and carried him
home--to the room Of Sally Morgan, his
wife. A witness testified that two shots
were fred out Of the house Of Peoples, A
bullet hole was discovered the next morn
ing through the door of the grocery of Will
liam Peoples.
When the door was thrown open, only
two persons were in the store from whence
the fling was heard-William Peoples and
Alfred Willock-Willock deposed that about
the hour named Oy the witness aDoNe,
he and Peoples were in the store, and that an
old colored man, called Jack Bell, was
knocking at Peoples door; that Peoples
took up his pistol, and said to Wilcox,
Now will Brighten old Jack y that there
upon Peoples fired out of the door. Shortly
thereafter white boy came up 10 Peoples
door, and said that Peoples had shot color
ed man. No other shooting was heard at
that time in the neighborhood. 1t was in
proof that the bullet went too high, to
have struck Gibbs. There wasalso some dis
agreement as to the number Of times that
Peoples fred-all Of the witnesses but one
testified that only one report was heard:
The sole witness for the prosecution testified
that two shots were fired out of the house of
Peoples. Six others testified that only one
report was heard. Upon this, and the range
of the bullet through Peoples door-the
door being closed al the time of shooting, the
prosecutor failed, for the want Of evidence 10
establish the fact that William Peoples did
the shooting which was the cause of the death
OF Alfred Gibbs.
o. Byron Young was counsel for plaintiff
and Judge NJ NJ. Brien for defendant.

The papers and correspondence submitted
10y the President to the Senate on the 9th
inst. are quite Interesting. The following
extract seems to contain the gist of the mat
ter as it at present stands, and indicates the
position which the government proposes to
assume. 10 2 aIDOf % VOC
Mr. Seward, under date of December 10th
says:
1t is the Presidents purpose that France
should be respectfully informed upon two
points-tirst that the United States earnest
" desirefto cultivate sincere friendship with
France: second, that this policy will be
brought into imminent jeopardy unless
France can deem it consistent with her inter-
est and honor to desist from the prosecution
of armed Intervention in Mexico to over
throw that republic, and to establish upon
its ruins foreign monarchy which has been
attempted to be established there. In con-
clusion, he said that the United States would
not recognize Macmillan if the French
troops were Withdrawn from Mexico.
The papers submitted include a confden-
tial letter from NJ. Drouyn de PHuys dated
Paris, Oct. Is, 1865, saying he had received
the assurance of a strong desire of the French
Government to withdraw its auxiliary corps
as soon as circumstances would allow. The
French Government has been ready to adopt,
without moments delay, basis of an I'M
Outstanding with the government at Wash
ington. What it asked of the United States
was to be assured that it is not their inten-
ton to impede the consolidation of the new
order of things found in Mexico, and the
best guarantee the French Government could
desire would be the recognition of the En-
peror Macmillan by the Federal Govern
ment.
Secretary Seward, under date of December
6, 1865 writes a letter to NJ. De Montholon,
in which he SAYS: After review of all the
facts, the President is gratifed with the as
surance you give OF the Emperor's Govern
ment and disposition. regret, however, to
be obliged to say the condition which the
Emperor pres ents is one which seems to be
impracticable.
