THE GREAT ROBBERY IN New YoRk.-No clue to
the detection of the thieves who stole the million
and half dollars worth of bonds from the office
i'll Exchange Place, n. Y, has yet been obtained,
and the robbery still continues subject of Won
der and speculation in Wall street regions Mr..
Rufus l.. Lord is the person whose office rob-
bed. He is over eighty years of age and, it is
stated, employed no clerks, having for many years
attended to his business personally. The Tribune
says:
Mr.. Lord had taken the precaution to register
most of his United States stocks, and to fill up to
his own order his United States 7.30 per cent.
Treasury bonds His practice was to select the
larger denominations of the latter. His certif-
Gates of Delaware and Lackawanna and New Jer-
sey and Central and other shares cannot, of course
be used by other person than himself or his duly
constituted attorney. His western Railway bonds
are payable to bearer, but the numbers are known,
and the payment of interest stopped MI. Lord
is wealthy and esteemed citizen, retired from
active business for many years past. His large
fortune was chiefly in United States securities and
real estate. We believe he subscriber to
every loan offered by the government during the
war, and to the 100 per cent. loan at its close,
and was always prompt, earnest and confident in
the support of the public credit.

lhc Treasury agents have seized one thousand
seven hundred bales Of cotton, which it was well

it for Il consideration of three hundred bales. The
owners refused this offer, and the cotton was re-
moved ut once at much greater expense than it
would have cost the owners. Every effort was
made at GAINESVILLE and at New Orleans to secure
the release Of the cotton, but it failed.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CUR
RENCY AND SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, &c.
Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March H.
The delay of Congress to act upon the great
questions connected with the currency caused
some embal rassment in business affairs but now
Il trouble has arisen from the conflict between
the Comptroller of the currency and the Secretary
of the Treasury. 1t is very evident that Mr. Ste
vens is the champion of the Clarke interest which
represents also all the formidable powers financial
and political that are now arrayed against the
Secretary of the Treasury, as supporter of the
President and his policy. Mr. McCullocl's plan
of a gradual reduction of the currency, by With
drawing the greenbracks, has been condemned by
powerful interests, by the restrictionists nv the
spectators, and by holders of large stocks of
goods and merchandise, and by the national
banks, which enjoy the profits of large deposits of
currency. But adding to all this the weight of
the radical politicians, 1t is easy to that Mr.
Clarke. the Comptroller, will, in the House, break
down the project Of Mr. McCulloch, the Secre-
tary.
Some inquiry is made whether the Secretary
Will retain the services of the Comptroller 1t is
evident that there is fundamental disagreement
between them upon a subject that interests the
country more than any other excepting, perhaps.
reconstruction. Probably there may be some per
>onaI as well as political difference. One would
think SO from the Detulant and rather disrespect-
tul tone of Mr.. Clarkes letter.
The letter was shown to Mr.. McCuOch this
morning who said that he had seen it before
The letter sent some days ago, before publ
cation, to Mr. McCUllOch 1t was certainly pro-
per, the part Of Mr.. Clarke, if he was cooper
ating with Mr. Stevens in the effort to defeat the
Treasury bill in the House, to advise the Secre-
tary of the fact. This financial and political mis-
understanding viii bear heavily upon the business
interests of the country 1t viii bring business to
: stand, and Will tend to discredit the country
abroad. 1t all goes to show that we have not, and
not likely TO have very soon, any fixed and
stable finance basis, any political cooperation
even among the loyal Republicans.
Senator Sherman's proposition offered at this
;uncture may be, ought to be, adopted, if the
McCuilocl project is to fail.
