cosD, Isasc II. Bailey, Marshall .. Rob-

An error in the Kings county returns
hiss been corrected, and the Republicans
now have two assemblymen, instead OF
one, among the delegation.
The report that WOFmald and OBald-
wiz fought in Putnam county, yester-
day, is false. O'B2ldwin has been here
some time, and WOrmaId is under bonds
10 Boston not to leave the State for pUgi-

OG Thursday evening Frederick Bond,
a native of Austria, sged tRenty-f0ur
years, married a young lady of this city,
Of excellent family, grest beauty and
high character. This husband OF a dsy
spent the night in a cell. Hassonfessed
that he was formerly confidential clerk
70 Bronson Bros and had forged checks
against them. On being arFsigned, he
freely confessed his guilt, and stated that
be had spent $3.50 for passage tickets for
self and wife, by the California steamer
sailing next Monday. The rest of the
money had been spent for iewelry.
A telegram from Washington, to the
effect that the Secretary of the Treasury
had decided that he has q right 10 issue
81 coo, 600 Of legal tenders, making 8
maximum circulation OF $500 900 600,
had magic influence on Wall street
this morning, and the gloom and depres /
sion gave way to cheerfulness and buoy
sney. There was a sharp rebound in
value from the extreme low prices Of
yesterday, and g great rush to buy.
Upon inquiry st the su5-tTeasusy, We
learned that Mr.. MeCullOch had writ
ten letter to MC. Nsn Dyke, in which
he regrets the money pressure, but has a
Q9t Ire 10 interfere DSEOE6 speCuiatOFs IN /
Wall street in the event Of q panic extead- /
ing outside or the national credit suffering
therefrom. He would feel constrained .
to relieve matters by reissuing some of /
the greenbacks withdrawn from cir cula- |
ton but net cancelled. Mr.. Van Dyke |
ssys if the speeulatOrs expect him to run |
up large balance here 10 relieve them, |
they will be disappointed, but il there is /.
any run on the Treasury with three per I
cent. certificates or matuTed compound I.
notes than greGnbscks would likely be
rsissued to q certain extent. The Secre- /
tary farther says in his letter he win not 4
sell any more gold or bonds at present. .
Also that the announcement OF these .
facts tend to restore confidence.
This puts different face on the mat /
ter, and shows the greenbseks are only .
to be issued il s certain emergency.
When this becomes known it viii put q
1amper On speculation for rise, and there
was a general decline from the highest
point.
The Commercial AdUertiser says it is
useless to talk shout Ousting Mr.. HOf-
man from the GiubernstOri8l ebairg and
trusts that the committees appointed to
Inquire into the illegal voting will give
.heir time to that particular branch of
he subject, and ignore the question of
