District Attorney Sheppard stated to the Court
that at the opening of the present term OF the Court
the President Judge had called the attention Of the
ton, including, among others, the subject of the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors. Acting upon the sug
gestion of the Court, the Grand Jury, on Thursday
last, submitted special presentment, in which at
tention was called to the provisions OF the license
laws requiring returns TO be made by the
constahes, on the first day of each term,
TO this Court In responding to this present
ment, your Honor expressed your appreciation
and charged the District Attorney with the oflcia
duty of taking action in the matter. therefore, in
accordance with what has been said by the Grand
jury and the Court desire to move that order be
made directing the consables of the various wards
to make their returns personally to this Court on
Monday next the first day of the June term, and |
make this motion now because / understand that
your Honor will hold the next term, and because it
is due, act of justice to the officials interested
that they should have ample time to obtain the neces
sary information, the law having fallen into dsuse,
and many Of the officers not being familiar with its
requirements.
Judge Ludlow, in reply, said that the motion Of the
District Attorney was quite proper and was granted
by the Court. He also directed that public notice
should be given that the returns would be called for
on Monday next, as suggested by the motion.

took car recently fourteen days to go from the
latter to the former place. which is explained
by the fact before cited with the additional one that
the train Is drawn by oxen and the further one still
that the insurgents and the Spanish soldiers accom-
panying the train had three encounters during the
trip. The first fight happened at the O'Donnell
Station, where number of Spanish soldiers were
Killed and wounded; and the second at Station san
Jose, where likewise the Government lost fifteen or
twenty killed and wounded; and the last affair took
place within nine miles Of Puerto Principe. And

The electoral meetings in Paris have been attended

such scenes have not been witnessed in the streets

From the Herald.

FROM tRe hefuQ.
During the week which has just closed there was
decline OF three per cent in gold, comparing the
closing with the opening price. This falling-o was
due in measure to speculative influences, for the
chques and combinations which few weeks since
were on the bull slde,' and caused the sudden ad-
vance TO 145 now on the opposite tack and ope-
rating for decline. In these efforts they enlist
espOused by the general public, who look upon high
gold the secret of high taxation, high prices aud
costly living. 10 will be interesting to watch, how
ever what course prices will take when the country
has grown up TO specie payment. The immense
rise in the price OF provisions, clothing, building
materials and real estate all the country is due
to the expansion of the currency, which, from three
hundred millions before the war, was increased to
eight hundred millions since that period. Now the
premium on gold is due TO two Causes-the inability
of the Government Immediately TO redeem its pro-
misses TO pay and the expansion Of the currency The
latter cause would not remain operative We're the
former removed; but while the Government cannot
redeem its notes i'm specie, the redundancy of paDer
money keeps gold in demand. But the country is
gradually grswng TO specie payments and that era
will be reached within FOUR five, six years. accord
ing TO different authorities. When il does come il
viii call into circulation at least two hundred mil
lions of specie. Meantime the wear and tear of
greenbacks and the withdrawal from business of
national banks will reduce The currency by merriam ns
one hundred millions. The inference therefore is
that, with the return OF specie payments we shall
nave circulating medium OF not less than nine
hundred millions.
'"rhe money market was quite steady at six TO
seven per cent, according to the class of coaeras
and the standing OF borrowers. Some little dis
turbance was produced by the defalcation i'm the
Atlantic National Bank OF Brooklyn, but the market
soon got over IT, The statement OF the associated
banks on Saturday favorable although con
tlnuing to show the distinction made as between
legal tenders and Treasury notes in the popular
estimation. Thus the falling OF during the week
in legal tenders was over twenty-hye Thousand

while the payments by the sity have been
made IN legal tenders, the great bulk OF money re-
