TnunspAr EVENING. March Is. 1865.

THURSDAY EVENING, March Is, 1866.
The banks to-day reported a considerable
falling off in the demand for money, partly
attributable probably to the disagreeable
character of the weather, which restricted
outdoor business generally, but more par
ticularly doubtless to the fact that the we'll
known condition of the banks induces Dor
rowers to postpone their wants, which have
little chance of being satisfied, except where
the names are of the highest character, or
the collateral of the most desirable nature.
Balances improved a t~rile, but the market
continues very close. Eastern Exchange
is without notable change. The demand is
moderate, bat with very light receipts the
market continues close. Rates are steady
at par buying and lilo premium selling.
Gold was steadier in New York to-day,
and a shade frmer, closing at lSI@l3la-
The price seemsto be maintained chiefly by
the demand for covering "shorts." Gov
eminent stocks continue steady and firm.

The controversy concerning the finances
between Secretary McCulloch and Comp
trOller Clarke is attracting considerable at
~tention, and has received the notice of Con-
gress, and also, it is reported, that of the
Cabinet. The difficulty originated in some
structures made by Mr.. Clarke upon the
financial policy of Mr.. McCulloch. Letters
were exchanged, exhibiting no very good
feeling, particularly IN the part of the Comp
~troller, who took occasion to charge the Sec
rotary with disappearing the condition of
the Treasury in his monty exhibits, and of
~mismanaging the business of the Depart
ment. Mr.. McCulloch thereupon declined
to hold further communication with his sub
ordinate upon the subject, but it is under
stood that Treasurer Spinner is preparing a
statement, in reply to Congressionql inquiry,
that will determine the questions raised. A
subcommittee of the Ways and Means Com
mittee has given the matter partial inquiry,
with results favorable to the Secretary. The
issue raised demands, and will doubtless re-
eeive, thorough investigation but it is to be
regretted that it has been allowed to assume
SO public, u~nbusinesslike and u~ndignifed a
character. We cannot but think that Mr..
Clarke has shown a temper and feeling IN
becoming his position, and which will add
nothing to his official reputation. And we
are free to say we believe Mr.. McCulloch
viii be fully justified. The result will prob
ably necessitate the resignation of one of
these gentlemen.

The demand for fractional currency has
to a great extent been supplied by the Urea
sury. Since the first of last month over a
million dollars in notes of the smaller de-
nominations have been printed and cIrcu-
lated, the greater portion of which was ca
gerly sought for by Assistant Treasurers in
the Southern States. In future, or until a
new demand is made, the Treasury will is
sue only in proportion to the amount can
celled as mutillated currency.
The proposal of Mr.. Hooper to render
compound interest notes unavailable as a
reserve for redemption by the national banks
has been made a matter of remonstrance by
bank officers and others at Washington.
In local trade circles to-day business was
more than commonly quiet, owing in part to
the wet and inclement weather. Reported
transactions in all departments were very
meagre, and generally at previously report
ed prices.

Plastic SLATE RooFING.-In February.
1868, a patent was secured on a composition
of slate. flour and coal tar, which is being
very generally used throughout the country,
serving numerous purposes, but chiefly used
or useful for roofing. When people come to
understand that it is cheaper than shingles,
they will be prepared to hear sounded all
its praises. 1t is not so much a thing of in
vention as of simple perception, and seems
less a preparation or a manufacture, than a
natural element furnished ready made for
mans use. There can be no doubt that it is
the best material for roofing in existence,
and that people will never get pack of it to
find a substitute, since it is as simple and
cheap as anything designed for such use
can be. 1t is a mastic, perfectly adaptable
to every shape and slope; adhesive, need
ing no fastenings of any sort non-com-
bustible, since fire solidiies or petrihes it /;
imPerVious to water and steam non-ex-
pansive, being affected by neither heat nor
cold and absolutely undecaying, and easily
repaired, if broken by any accident, by a
fresh layer Of the compound.
This preparation has received a favorable
verdict from the scientific world. Indeed,
such a verdict was inevitable. But not
scientific men only approve; those who have
given it trial are the chief enthusiasts.

NAVIGATION HINTS AND MATrERs.-Collec-
tor Grsunis has ordered the keeper of the
Black River light house to trim his lamp
forthwith. This indicates that navigation
is open between that point and Cleveland,
and we may expect wood scows to arrive
from and set forth to hat port any day.
The scow General Butler" is awaiting the
making out of her marine papers, that she
may spread canvass for that hsrbor. The
light here will soon throw its glare over the
lake.
Sailors and officers are coming to the city
in considerable number every day, to get
their crafts and themselves in readiness for
the opening of the season.
The steamers Governor Cushman" and
as. D. Caldwell" have been chartered to run
the present year between this city and
Portage Lake, Lake Superior. Garretson 4
Co, are the agents, resident here, of this
important line.
There are various opinions expressed by
lake men here, concerning the probable date
of the opening of navigation. Capt. Spald-
ing, of the Lac La Belle, predicts that it
will be later than usual.

tbs RAISr SEAsoS.-It has been three or
four days since the sur deignei to show his
face to mOrtals hereabouts. During that
time there has been an almost constant
driving of mist or 6rizzle of rain. Wells,
throughout the city are beginning to mis-
trust something, and their water has already
become troubled, or riIed. The frost has
been constantly coming out of the ground
and as a consequence the roads are becom-
ing next to impossible.

CLEVELAND FUEL CoNPAST.-We are glad
to see a move is being made to organize q
stock company in this city for the purpose
Of opening a wood and coal yard, whereby
the stockholders can obtain their fuel at
cost This same plan has been tried in sew
eral cities. and proves not only a large
saving on fuel but a paying investment of
from 20 to 80 per cent.
1t is proposed By this company to raise a
capital of $4,000, to be divided into 1000
shares atS25 each. No one party is allowed
to take over ten shares. This is done to
prevent monopoly and benefit as large a
number of consumers as possible. There
is already about One-half the stock sub
scribed for, and at the rate it is now being
taken the required amount viii be raised
during this month.

THE ONO PESITESTIARY.-The Statt
Journal, of the 18th, says that there are
now 779 eonvicts in the Ohio Penitentisry,
the population having been materially in
creased by the arrival of delegations from
different counties within the last month.
The greatest number of prisoners ever con-
fined there at one time was $40, and this
was some years ago. Last year the num-
Der decreased to about coo, but it is going
up bravely now. The west hall, which has
been vacant for about a year, was on Tues
day reopened, and the Cleveland delega-
tiOn received as its 6rst installment of in
mates.
The Journal also states that three con-
victs made unsuccessful attempts to escape
on Wednesday. One prisoner sentenced
for five years, dressed himself in a suit of
old clothes that had been used by some one
in the shops, and walked to the front gate,
representing himself as a teamstea. He
was directed to return to the yard gate,
where, had he been a teamster, lie would
have entered. As soon as he reported there
he was arrested. Two others, when
the prisoners were marched 10 their
cells, hid themselves outside, but
their absence wa soon discovered, and i'm
mediate search instituted. They were
found secreted in some of the shops. and
returned 70 their cells.
