| New YORK, Nov. j30.-In the various
wards Of the city yesterday 1887 voters were
registered, which makes a total with those
registered at the beginning of the month OF
1900. e-s.7 as.4 geaeiaa.
| Wm. H. Dodge, manufacturer Of chro-
nsmetors, at No 1872 South street,7was ar
rested yesterday, charged with forging the
signature of VIM. III. Webb for check for
$500, payable in gold.
| The failure Of the yonng and enterprising
| firm of Sherman& Co. is accounted for in
two theories. First. 1t was caused by the
6ep,s rivalry OF A. T. Stewart, who sold
goods for lower prices than Messrs. Sher-
man d Co. could buy them at. Another,
that the three weeks delay in reftting the
old maison dor was fatal, the goods pre-
viously bought having fallen 50 much in
| that time as TO cripple their resources at
the start. Blythe elosiRgcf the firm nearly
/ 5000 persons are thrown ont of employ
ment.
The TribHne's special says Secretary
McCulloch has finished his report, and
copies WILDE sent Tomorrow to the prins
cipsl newspapers. The document, which
IS OF considerable length, refers to reports
OF the different treasury bureaus, drawing
from them facts and figures in support of
the views advocated in his own report, and
celebrating upon them at length. Mr..
McCulloch alludes to his earlier reports,
going back to the time of his nomination !:
also, to the reports of Secretaries Chase
and Fessenden, in support of his views and
policy of continuing to contract at the rate
of S4,000,0 900 per month, as provided by
law. He shows there were months when
he could have contracted the above amount
he refrained from doing so, because he
did not think 1t necessary or expedient.
He takes strong ground against expansion,
which, to use his own language, would be
ruin and lead to reputation. The views
of Gen. Butler, Mr.. Stevens and others.
are commented on. The tendency of the
results of the different finance schemes if
carried ont, are enlarged upon and con-
trasted. He interprets the law in refer
enee to the 5~20s as binding the country TO
their payment in coin, and believes if the
policy looking to their redemption in cur
rency be adopted, the effect will be dis
astrous. He states he has sufficient gold
in the Treasury to meet the demands on
the government and keep the market in
check. He gives his reasons for not sell~
ing more gold, and endeavoring to bring
resumption in that way. The speculater
would tomorrow buy up all the gold he
could offer and then entirely control the
market, and make the premium higher
than ever it has been. He believes that
the Tribune's policy of resumption would
lead TO an immediate crash in business,
which he hopes to avoid. He comments
at length upon the Internal Revenue Conn
missioner's report, and gives as his opinion,
ifthe Internal Revenue Department and the
Treasury had the same control of the sys-
tenn the taxes would be fully collected and
an end put to fraud and corruption. The
report has been read at a Cabinet meeting
for the information and guidance of Mr..
johnson, who has some financial views to
propose in his forthcoming message.
