lowing kilograms in the latest Western papers:
Gen. Davis ,Tillson assistant commissioner Of
freedmens affairs, has rendered his report Of the
operations of the bureau in the State Of Georgia,
since his assignment to duty there, in which he
says, since the enactment of laws by the State
granting to the freedmen all the rights Of person
and property enjoyed by the white citizens, The
bureau has abored persistently to restore the su-
premacy of civil law and its enforcement
in such manner as to protect all classes of
citizens, irrespective of color or condition. It
was not expected this effort would be followed by
immediate success, but enough has been accom-
plshed to render the future hopeful. Still, there
are many instances where. through the prejudice
of the people, or the incompetenGy OF the magis
trates the freedmen are denied the protection Of
the law, and where the interference of the bureau
is essential to secure justice.
The general says further that the planters de
pend upon the continuance OF the bureau to con
troll labor and make it reliable. and he freedmen
to aid them in obtaining their wages. His reno
val now would be followed by doubt and uncer
tainty on the part of the one and of distrust Oh
the part of the other. The most intelligent of the
planters entertain this opinion, and would regard
the removal of the bureau and its agents at tht
present time as public misfortune.

NEW York, Feb. 24.-The CONNER
ciaL says: The money market still eX-
hibits the effect of the large withdrawal
of currency into the subtreasury
through snles of gold. Probably from
twelve to fourteen millions of green
backs and bank notes have been thus
taken off the market during the present
week. 1t is insinuated in some quar-
tiers that the object of the treasury in
the large sales of gold is to induce the
banks TO withdraw the deposits from
the treasury, as n condition precedent
to the inauguration of n measure of
contraction. How fnrthis surmise may
be founded we know not, but it would
seem reasonable to conclude that the
department would not so seriously
disturb the money market, as it has by
its sales of gold, without some impor-
tant object other than realizing upon
the surplus coin, and this conclusion is
the more warranted by the fIct that the
sales hitherto have been conducted with
care, to avoid any disturbance of mon
etary affairs. This morning the de-
mand for money on call was quiteac-
tive. The calling in of loans has neces-
STATED sharp inquiry, which, howev-
err, is met without much difficulty, Mt
per cent. "A large amount of coin is
being carried mt 7aS per cent. The high
rate for, call loans has checked the de-
mand for paper, and with partial pres
sure to sell, rather higher rates are OBJ
tanned. Prime paper sells Mt TaS per
cent; the majority at 71SaS; good prime
slowly mt SAG per cent; lower grades are
negotiated, the rites being l0al5 per
cent. The chief feature of the stock
market is the large sales of Cleveland
and Pittsburgh. Governments are
weak in sympathy with the strfngency
in money, prices being about Is lower.

-.'a- -...t-t4llt SATURDAY fSD. zstS 1SOo'
At the close of last month our manu-
facturers of merchant bars and nails
finding that in consequence of the high
cost of crude stock, and extreme prices
paid their skilled labor, their margin for
profits was lost, demanded n reduction
of ten to fifteen per cent. on wugesi Ito
The operators refused to make the
concession and the consequence was
about thirty of our city mills suspend
ing operations, and are now idle, with
no Immediate prospect of a resumption
of operations. Indeed, some of the pro-
prietors seem Indifferent about resum-
ing operations ut present, even at the
proposed reduction of wages.
AS might have been anticipated, the
stoppage of so many mills rendered the
Pig Iron market dull and spiritl ess-so
void of interest as TO render quotations
uninteresting. 90 .ittll uig y n
Sales have been light. Yet, owing to
remarkably light stocks in market
for the better grades
of standard and forge Irons-have been
well maintained. Inferior grades could
be purchased at a reduction of 81 to 81
per ton. E-r.-s-=e..,
In Foundry Irons there is a moderate

ALBANY, Feb. 25.-The ice in the river
began to move about midnight last
night, and moved about four miles be-
low the city, and was there stopped, and
at o'clock this morning, it stood still
opposite the city, and as far above as
could be seen. AT about 8 o'clock it
started again, and at half-past 10 o'clock
the river opposite the city and above, as
far as Troy, was clear. The bridge
was subjected to as severe test as it
can ever be put to, and stood it perfectly.
An immense field ofsolid ice n foot thick,
and extending from one side of the riv-
er to the other, came down with rapid
current, using its force upon the cham
mel pier, the grand pier, and eight piers
east of the grand pieryall at once, with
out harming any one of them. The
field of ice was broken to pieces and
ground to powder against the piers. AT
the same time that the ice was passing,
two trains of cars went over the bridge
carrying over safely the passengers
bound to and from New York. Itwculd
have been impossible for them to cross
the river in any other way. The ice
made no dam ut the bridge, but on the
contrary the piers of the bridge broke
up the ice so that it will be less likely
to make dam on the Island below the
city, and viii much sooner go quite
clear out of the river. The bridge is
perfectly successful and satisfactory in
all respects. f,s- gs.-s-s1 .r,-.
