NEW YORK, February 2.
Another attempt at the butcher cart
style of robbery was frustrated last
evening at Z o'clock. An officer saw
three suspicious characters, with the
Identical butchers cart which played
such an important part in many recent
robberies, prowltng around the jewelry
store at No. 1872, Bowery. He gave
chase, and the men took to the cart.
They fired four shots at him, and after
q mile chase the cart overturned and
one OF the robbers, Edward Francis,
was arrested. A six chamber revolver,
with one chamber discharged, was
found upon him.
James Maher and Edward Reilly are
the names of the parties arrested last
night as the mur1erers of Mr.. Rogers.
1t is stated that almost the universal
Individual sentiment of Congress is
opposed to the ratification OF the proc
tOI OF the Alabama treaty in the form
in which it now exists, and there can
be no doubt that this feeling will find
Legislative expression when the
time comes, and that there will be
non. concurrence in the treaty ratitica-
tions 80 far as the English counter
claims to our demands are concerned.
The few stray words OF General
Grant II few days ago, that 1t was not a
mere question of dollars and cents for
lew ships burned, but question of
the destruction of our commerce, meet
with hearty approval everywhere, SO
that the fate of the pending proctol may
be regarded sealed.
1t Is generally felt that Mr.. Reverdy
Johnson has been somewhat OVerreach-
ed in the entire transaction, the Senate
will never agree to the settlement OF
the Alabama business on the basis pro-
posed.
Investigations by the Revenue Of
ficials here, show that the wealthy
trustees OF churches up town, have used
the money set apart exclusively for re-
ligiOus purposes, in Investment In
stocks with their favorite brokers. One
of the Revenue officers estimates that at
least s., ,OOO, 900 of the church funds is
thus invested, while the names OF the
real capitalists never appear in public.
A Baptist clergyman is known to have
speculated largely in stocks, and he
spends much of his time among the
brokers. 1t is said that a number of
churches have been mortgaged for the
purpose of obtaining money to be used
In stock speculations,
Collector Shook who Is also Collector

co contained in them being transferred

lished for its reception.

Finance in Congress.

Upon this important subject the
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
The first week of Congress ends
with little indication of the financial
views of its members. Senator Sum
ner has introduced bill for free
banking, with clause limiting the
increase of currency to fifty million
per year. Representative Morrell,
of Pennsylvania. introduced one for
free banking, and new loan of four
and a half per cent, and Represen-
tatiye Ingersoll, of Illinois, has
brought in bills for free banking, to
prevent sale of Government gold,
and to authorize the issue of forty
four millions more legal tenders.
None of these bills have been consid-
cred in committee, and it is doubtful
if any of them will be until after the
holidays. The idea of free bank
ing system has many supporters in
both Houses of Congress, and the
present indications are that such a
system will be established during the
session. Further indications are
that Secretary Boutwell's recommen-
dation for contraction at the rate OF
two millions per month will not find
many supporters. The demand
from the South for more money is
very strong
