There is a very unsettled feeling in the market
pending the action Of Congress upon snancialques-
tions. We have financial doctors without number,
all prescribing for our financial ills. The amended
bill reported BY Senator Sherman from the Com

in brief, as follows.
Section 1. Authorizes a 5 per cent. 10.40-ysar
bond, interest and principal In gold.
Section 3. The bonds are named Consolidated
Loan" and are exempted from taxation, except for
incomes, at such rates as may be assessed on other
incomes.
Section 3. Appropriates l35 millions per aunum

principal as it falls due, and, if anything Is left
reduce the debt.

WIN. H. HOOVER, City Treasurer, Is q ster ling
Republican and q faithful officer. Whenever such
men are assailed with disparaging, untruthful re-
ports, It become the duty Of q faithful public jour
n~alisttO gather the facts and set Ii em before the pub
lie. The charge, that we refer to, is that Mr..
Hoover, as City Treasurer, bought orders ata big
shave and Herewith gobblsd up al the cash that
was paid in on City taxes. TO set this report at
rest we have ascertained from the Collector that
during 1857 the amount Of City Taxes collected
was Ss,ssI ~; Of this s2,1 2s so was paid in Orders,
and $25l,97 in Cash the Collectors per cent
Due ~ easb-On the whole amount collected is
$26e ~ or $40 20 more than all the cash received.
Now, where is the cash that Mr.. Hoover can apply
his pocket full Of orders" on. The duty incumbent
upon a public to defend any good officer becomes a
pleasure hen tat man is a Republican. We have
a faithful, honest and efficient set Of Republican
City officers. -

LOCAL MATTERS.

DAYLIGHT BURGLARIEs.-A day or two
ago the residence of Rev. DR.. Converse, on
Twelfth street between Marshall and
Broad, was entered by burglars in broad
daylight. They forced up the storeroom
window looking out on Twelfth street, and
had placed a number of jars of preserves,
canned fruits, &C., on the outside, when
they were frightened of, taking away but
little of their booty.
On the day after, the raseals made Q
second raid in the same neighborhood.
This time they entered the storeroom of
Mr.. Fl. D. Whitcomb's house in the same
manner, and secured larger amount of
plunder. Strange that both times the
hour of noon was chosen for the robbery,
and that although entrance was effected
from the public street the burglars were
unobserved, and as yet there is no clue
to their detection.

A MAGNIFICENT HEARsE.-We observed
yesterday at the carriage establishment of
George A. Ainslie, on Tenth street belov
Main, one of the finest hearses we have
ever seen, and certainly the best that has
ever rolled over the streets of Richmond.
It was made to Mr.. Ainslie's order for q
city undertaken by Beckhaus & Algaier,
of Philadelphia, and has just reached this
city. It is large. with a high front seat
draped with black; heavy oval plates Of
glass on either side, with silver and gilt
margin; and excellent interior arrange
ments. The eight white plumes were pro-
cured at cost Of Sll5, and the same
number of black ones for $50. The work
manship displayed is unsurpassed, and the
finish neat and elegant.
Mr.. Ainslie is himself turning out some
fine home work, and is preparing to open
a large coach and carriage factory, with
encouraging prospects of success.
