derer-A Large Reward for
- His Apprehension.

ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEsRAPB.l ]
FRENoHTowN, Pa, November H.-We have to
record another murder, that has occurred within
the last few days. James Wylie, the Captain of
a canal-boat, was murdered on last Saturday
afternoon, near this place. The supposed muir
derer is man named Deylin, professional
borse-thief.
l. appears that the murderer went aboard
CAPTAIN Wylie's boat, and shot him dead, and
then escaped, since which time he has not been
heard of. A description of the supposed MUIR
derer has been furnished to the police authori-
ties. He is man apparently about 80 years of
age, feet 10 inches in height, heavily built
has fast !gait IN walking, is stoop-shouldered.
He is OF dark complexion, no whiskers, and
has dark hair.
For some days past the police have been in
search of the supposed murderer, on the charge
of tealing lot of mules from German named
Metzgar. II is supposed that the Aurdered cap
tain interfered with some of Deylin's horse
stealing operations and hence the murder.
reward of $500 has been offered for his arrest

WASHINGTON.

Speculations as 60 the Course OF Action
to be Adopted by COngress-The Flnan-
cial Excitement-Its Cause Reported to
be the withdrawal OF Government
Funds from the National Banks-The
President's Message Completed and to
be Mailed to the Press To-day, Etc.
WASHINGTON, November 26.-Members Of
Congress are coming in slowly, and with their
arrival speculation is becoming rife upon the
course of action Congress will adopt in relation
to the question as to whether an effort shall be
made TO effect reconciliation with the Presi-
dent, or an attempt be made to impeach him.
The idea of preferring articles OF impeachment
against the President although perseveringly
discussed, is generally regarded by leading men
here of all parties, as wholly inadvlsable, if at
a 1 practicable and II is thought that the pro-
position will not be even seriously entertained,
much less be supported, by score OF members
Of the House OF Representatives
1t is understood that bills will be introduced
at the comiLg session OF Congress to abridge the
pardoning power of the Executive, so far as to
withdraw IRON him the authority to pardon any
but those who Ihave been tried and con-
vlcted. IL Is also said that a bill will be pre-
sented removing from the President the autho-
rty to appoint the Superintendent of Public
Printing.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND DEPARTMENTAL
REPORTS.
The President will authorize printed copies OF
his Message to be sent by mail to the press to-
morrow.
The reports of the several heads Of depart
ments ana the chiefs OF the several bureaus, are
in state of greater torwardness than ever
heretofore previous to the session of Congress.
Some of them are partly in print and the others
nearly ready for the printer. The Secretary OF
the Treasury has finished his report 1t is short
and pointed.
REPORTED CAUSE OF THE EXCITEMENT IN FINAN-
CIAL CIRCLES.
An able fnancier who has access to informa-
tod in the United states Treasury here, states
that the present pressure in the money mark ct
aud the down ward tendency of prices are wing
to the demand of the Secretary of the Treasury
upon the national banks tor the Government
funds on deposit During the past few months
The national banks have made large loans on
call to operators In the Eastern cities and other
manufacturing and commercial centres. Wnen
the Secretary drew on the national banks and
authorized depositaries for the funds deposited
with them by collectors of internal revenue
tax, the banks were obliged to call In the loans
made to operators, who, having the money tied
up in large stocks of goods, were in turn forced
to push the goods upon an unwilling market.
The banks, however, succeeded in honoring the
drafts of the Government by being permitted in
some instances, when it was necessary, to satisfy
these drafts partially with compound-interest
notes. The announcement is now made that the
| Government has ceased drawing on its balances
| in the national banks tor the present although
nothing is Indicated as to how long the absti-
hence will be continued.-N. Y. Herald.
