Wall street and its surroundings continue in state
of quietude At least so it appears on the surface
Gold is quietly dropping down to 1885, and all attempts
to bolster up the premium now and then are vain.
But under the surface of things there is widespread
feeling that, long, that inevitable crash which has
not yet touched the mercantile, must come, and cannot
be averted The decision of the United States Supreme
Court, declaring the Legal Tender act unconstitutional
is looked for by the end of the year. It's announce.
ment is already being discounted in advance by those
wise enough to study the signs of the times, and all
new contracts made in gold or otherwise, as
expressly stipulated in the contract OF course the
majority of the mercantile community will be unpre
pared, especially if the Secretary of the Treasury
is rumored, will recommend at the opening of the
session of Congress the immediate resumption of specie
payments. Values of all kinds will be deprecated in
price, and there will be widespread disaster, espe-
cialy in the Western States But the blow must come,
sooner or later; it is necessary evil and it might
ust as we'll come now than later. These speculations
and forebodngs agitate the financial mind of the city
at the present time, and Wall street, though quiet
the surface really breads the immediate future more
day than it has done since the close of the war

Judge Hart, prominent Unionist, was waylaid and

the P. esi mt said to Borie: ''Suppose you

say you aro going with me to West
Point, and tina. as you have the privilege Of in
vlting friend you would like him to be one of

seems was anxious to place Robson in his old
shoes, readily complied with the request. The
result Of it was. Mr.. Robeson made one Of the
Presidential party al West Point. On the way
up and during the time they remained there
Grant embraced every opportunity to draw
Robson out on various topies.- or course Mr..
Robeson-who had no idea ct that time of
being offered place in the Cabinet-felt con-
siderably honored in the attentions he received
from the President, and spoke his mind quite
freely on every subject introduced. Grant is
said to have eyed Robson as a man does

told Borie that Robson had many good points

tary Of the Navy. as he guessed he was about

PARALLEL BETWEEN THE RYAN-ouBAN ExPEDI.

PARALLEL BETWEEN THE RYAN-CUBAN EXPEDy-
TON AND THE CASE OF THE ALABAMA.
LONDON, June 29.-The Star, commenting on
the reported departure of Ryan's expedition
1or CUBA, brings the circumstance to bear
upon the claims now pending between the
United States and Great Britain. It says: 1--WE
are interested in the conduct OF the United
states Government in this matter. America
now stands in relation TO Cuba exactly as Eng
land did in relation to the Southern Confed-
eIacy. Her neutrality laws must be thorough.
~ and effectively enforced, or she will lose the
mold she has gained On public opinion. which
lnsures fair consideration of the Alabama
claims. The Alabama escaped unarmed, with
an ordinary merchantman's crew on board,
and We are justly held to have incurred high
degree of responsibility for the consequences.
The departure OF party Of eight hundred men
from New York, as far as can be judged from
present accounts, appears to be an infraction
OF the neutrality laws just as fragrant as the
escape OF the Alabama, and one which could
have been much more easily prevented
THE FENTAN PRISONERS.
DUBLIN, June 29.-At the meeting held last
night to urge upon government the release of
the Fenian prisoners, four thousand people
were present. Butt, a prominent lawyer, said
the motto of all true Irishmen ought to be,
"Bidc your time; put your trust In God and
keep your powder dry" II the British Gov
ernment persisted in keeping these men incar-
cerated all it's professions OF conciliation would
be useless. Wllliame, Of Dungarvon, declared
the Fenian prisoners would not accept mercy
They demanded justice from ministers. If the
latter refused it. let blood be upon their own
heads. He would not, however. advocate
resort to the sword, for that doctrine was now
out OF time.
