There was q meeting on Monday evening of
the members and friends Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, at their new hall, corner
of FOurth-ave. and Twenty -third-st., to have q
private view Of the building before it is thrown
open to the public. The appeal which we
made in THE TRIBUNE on that day to the
merchants of New York, to aid the Association
to enter its new homo free from debt, was
considered, and with gratifying results. The
debt (other than $4,000 mOrtgNge) on the
building is $4,000 OF this amount, $4,000
were subscribed on Monday by such of our
citizens rs happened to be present This leaves
go, 900 still remainng-a small sum, when we
consider that the building cost over half q
million. Let this DO wiped out. Here is o
society of incalculable benefcence, with q
building which must become the headquarters
of Protestant Christianity in our city.
Here is homo for young men, an influence
that is pure, an attraction without evil,
where may DO found study, relaxation, devo-
ton, an inspration'to good works. an appeal
to the truest nobility in the hearts of the
young. 1t is the interest, nay more, the duty
of every merchant who desires to see his
clerks under salutary influences, to aid in es-
tablishing upon the iirmest foundations this
noble work. aud to add to its strength in
every way.
Tomorrow evening the Hall will bo opened.
Now, merchants vi New York, let Its doors

Secretary Boutwell, yesterday refused to ac-
cept the bids lac received for the million dol
lars of Gold he had offered to sell. Gold yes
terday afternoon advanced two per cent. The
relation of cause to effect does not need to be
more particularly explained Nor do we need
to repeat our belief that only the gravest rea-
sons can warrant the Government i'll interfer-
ing to hinder the existing tendency of gold
and greenbacks TO equal values.

There was an effort made by the Eric folks
yesterday to stave off the further trial of their
own suit against Vanderbilt. on the plea that
counsel for Field had another case n Roches-
ter which he wanted to look after' No testi-
mony was taken during the sitting, but there was
a deal of argument and the handing in Of aflida-
Wits and documents. Alr. Field was particu-
larly anxious for fair play, and praised Judges
Balloon and Barnard for their shameless in
reference with tho order of Judge Murray.
This must have been soothing to Judge Bar
nard, who, in q similar case, himself decided
that the interference of a Judge with the
orders of Judge of another district
was monster in Jurisprudence and any or
ders taken under such interfering Judge would
be unlawful and should be disregarded. He
says that if Judge Murrays order had
BEEN enforced, the road would have be-
come hopelessly bankrupt. That may be
true, but as the Delaware order in no
manner suspended the Legitimate oper-
atoms of the road, but solely the high-handed
gambling of Gould and Fisk with its money
the inference is that these men have made tho
road really bankrupt already. Balcom and
Barnard came to The rescue of these men,
and not the Erie Road; they drag their
ermile at tho heels Of tho tim
