CIEcINNATL, April II. : Colonel
Wherry, Aid de- Camp to Gen. Scho-
field, arrived here this morning.
The Enquirer this mnoring states
that Superintendent Rucker, of the
A. & G. W. Road, and Chaplin, of the
Erie Road, have rendered the half
million security, and their acceptance
of the lease of the G., III. & d. Road,
but that the latter refused to execute
the lease, assigning as a reason the
act of the Ohio Legislature making
this road responsible for debts incur
red by the Esia Company on the line
of the same. Also that the G., I'll. 81
d. Road refusing to recognize through
contracts Of the Erie Road, have de-
manded pro rata on freight, and de-
tanned as such at the depot by re-
fusal Of the Erie to pay; consequently
that on Friday the Erie Road perfect
ed arrangements with the L. NJ and
@. q G.. Roads to carry all the freight,
and that yesterday the freight moved
accordingly.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The pro-
ject OF Canadian annexation in the
settlement of the Alabama claims,
with the joint consent of England and
the Colonists, begius to attract atten-
tion in governmental and diplomatic
circles, and it is by some regarded as
likely to become a prominent feature
in President Grants administration.
The views expressed on the part Of the
American press meets with favora-
BILE response from the English news

NEW ORLEANS, A April 9.-AfFairs at
the Auditors Office are becoming
more muddled lately. The Seventh
District Court yesterday ordered the
books and documents belonging to
the Auditors Office to be put in the
possession of the judicial Saquestra-
tor, who was by the same order ap-
pointed. Gov. Yarmouth to-day
notified SAID Sequestrator that he
would apply to the Supreme Court for
a writ of prohibita ation from the exer-
else of the powers conceded by the
Seventh District Court. upon the
back of the order of the Court.
The Governor made a lengthy
speech. reciting that both Auditors
Wyckliffe and Salasige, the Governors
appointee, had been enjoiued by the
Fifth and Seventh District Courts re.
spectively. and both punished for
contempt in disobeyiug the Injunction.
and therefore, there being no one
authorized by law to discharge the
duties Of the Auditors Office, he had,
by virtue of his authority as Cover
nor of the State. taken possession of
the paraphernalia of the Auditors
Office, and declined to deliver them
to the Sequestrator appointed By the
Court Gov Yarmouth fled in the
Supreme Court his petition for a writ
OF prohibitation against the Seques-
traitor. Iu the mean time no business
is being done 10 the Auditors Office.

TUESDAY, April Z0-t +. ID.
The offerings Of money were much more abundant
to-day and good proportion or the loans ON cau
were made at six per cent, especially where the col
laterals government securities. Borrowers
were in no haste to make their engagements untn
late In the day, which fact developed more active
inquiry about haf-past two O'Clock; but the demand
was fully satisfied at seven per cent. and unem-
ployed balances were again freely Offering at three
O'Clock Discounts were easier and prime double
name acceptances sold at nine per cent. The quot
able rate for commercial paper is nine to twelve per
cent. The banks discountng more freely for
their regular customers and report steady increase
In the receipts of currency from the country.
While the money market Is thus drifting to the
ease and abundance OF the spring and summer
months there is u strong speculative feeling IN the
gold market, based upon the large extent Of our
foreign imports and the governmental policy Of
boarding gold. To-day the premium was subjected
TO the continued disturbance produced by the appre
hension Of complications arising out Of the Cuban
and Alabama claims questions. AS the morning
progressed the speech OF Senator Chandler began

heavy customs payments Of the day amounting to
nearly half million OF dollars created appre-

manifest the banks holding less than eight millions.

close. The European steamer brought 100000 in

this line OF business whose agg egate balances have
increased twenty-five per cent IN the last ten days.
and the increase has been made by q regular and
gradual daily progression, owing TO better collec-

banks are now accommodating all OF their regular
customers who are entitled to accommodation and
we hear OF no good commercial paper aiOat IN the
outside market. There has also been an improve

past week. Dry goods, grocery, hat and cap, and
shoe houses have been selling more goods, and,

SINGING is Il good constitution ~
1t oils the wheels of care, supplies
tho place OF sunshine. A man who
sings has good heart under hls
shirt-front. Such a man not only
WORKS moro willingly, hut works
moro constantly. A singing cob-
bier will earn as much again mon =
ey as one who gives way to low
spirits and indigestion. Avaricious
men never sing, The man who at
tacks singing throws a stone at the
head OF hllarity, and would, if he
could, rob Juno of its roses, and Au-
gust of It's meadow lark. Singing
promotes health, strengthens the
voice, the organs of the throat and
lungs, and prevents or cures CON
sumption. Singing is an excellent
agent for promoting mental hy-
giene.
