Lieutenant Brurein, Of the Seventh Police district,
procured carriage, and also tracked the vehicle 10
the park. He drove through the park on both Sides
OF the Schuylkill, but failed to procure any further
Information as TO the course pursued by the cab.
Later in the day Detective Franklin secured the
park, and on inqurng at the approaches to the va
neeing had not gone across the Schuylkill
United States District Attorney A. II. Smith and
MARSHAL Gregory yesterday afternoon waited upon
Mr.. Brooks, and having obtained from him recital
OF the facts Immediately telegraphed to the authorl-
oror ~ i ana IN snort tme n
conviction OF the wOuld-be assassins In the
evening Mayor Fox also called upon Mr.. Brooks,
and took an ante-mortem statement on which
several warrants were issued, and up to this time
five persons have been arrested, and in GUS
tody at the Central Station No new facts have
Deen developed as to whom the assalants were, ana
1t is generally believed that at least two Of them
were strangers in this CITY, or course the hack and
horses belonged here but as it is held that the assas
sination is the result of long deberaton, is not
likely that the men would hire team for this eX-
pected assassination, for If they did So it would be
comparatively easy TO find out to whom the vehi-
Gle and animals belonged, and who was the driver.
Mayor Fox late last night issued a proclamation
in which he offered reward of $1,000 for the appre-
henson of the would-be murderers
Mr. Brooks was perfectly sensible during the
night though he suffered intense pain. He fire.
quently expressed his belief that he would not re-
cover, but was unable to give any clue as to who
the parties were. This morning he seemed worse,
and the chances are that he will not survice much
still in him.

There has been no station agent

good deal Of frjght-somc say as

SECRETARY RONTMELIS Re-

SECRETARY BOUTWELL's RE-
PORT.-He speaks very earnestly of
the decay of our commercial marine,
and considers that it's improvement
is necessary TO putting our finances
on sound basis. On the question
of specie payments, he comedies with
President Grant in disappearing Of
immediate resumption, while his
remarks about the connection of
the European bOndhOldCrs with this
branch OF the subject are Of unusual
significance. He recommends the
withdrawal of the larger part of
the go bonds, and the substitution
of others more advantageous. Re
duction Of the currency being in
evitable, he suggests that the See
rotary of the Treasury be authorized
to reduce the circulation Of the
United States notes by an amount
not exceeding g, 0Oo, 900 in any one
month.
The Secretary recommends new
loan of Sl,OG0,O00,0O leaving
about 0,000.O0O Of bonds for
payment previous to the 1851. The
loan should be in three classes,
varying IN terms Of payment from
fifteen to thirty years, subject to
certain specified conditions and cX-
empt from taxation. The c0ntiuu-
ance Of the present revenue system
is strongly recommended, as is also
the redemption Of the three per cent
certificates. The evils incident to
our banking system are discussed
. and their remedies pointed out.
