Oily the prime mosers or active
agents remain all of whom have

High Price for Money-The Ocean
4 Bank Robbery--The Cuban ExPeIt-
tiOnists.
New YORK, June 30.-Durius the past
tive. days late borrowers in order to make
their socounts at bank, have been forced to
pay as high as one half of one per. cent
interess- for the use of funds over night
yesterday. The demand continued ill
after four o'clock, some of the banks hsV-
ing to rernsin open TO accommodate Gus
toners who we're tardy in making up their
balances. The interest paid for one day
was at the rate of one hundi ed and eighty
or cent per annum.
: In regard TO the Ocean bank robbery sew
eral new items which are apparently of lit
tie importance have been made known. An
old practical mechanic has examined the
kit of instruments left by the burglars, and
says only one or two of them have
been recently used. The stem of the augur
found is only twenty-five inches in length,
while the holes bored in the floor are
"a inches deep. The real mystery in The
whole affair is Che manner in which the
combination was opened, and il is suggest
ed that the door may not have been locked
at all.
Several OF the Cuban expedilionists
have returned to this city, reporting that
they have been on a steam-tug In Long
Island Sound, expecting to be put cn the
steamer Catherine Whiting, which was
seized, and have ru0 short of provisions.
Two of the tugs put into New London for
food and water, where some deserted and
came back to this city. They state that
two steam-tug loads of expeditionists were
put on steamer on Sunday night, and it |
is expected that they got of safely to sea. |
1t is stated that the Cuban expedition |
started from Gardner's Island, near New |
London, late Monday night, and was cap
tured yesterday by gun-boats. They are
said to be en- route for Brooklyn Navy |
yard, where they will arrive to-day.

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Francisco
Bulletin gives an amusing account of .
journey up hill by rail on the Union Pa
cific railroad bntween Echo and Wasatch.
The hill is assembled by means of z, the
train running up to switch, then back
ing up the next gradient and finally
forward. On the trip described the
engine once or twice failed to reach the
upper switch, and after running back,
gathering speed and pushing with all
force, came to dead stand a few rods
from the desired point. The engineer
then had all the brakes set and leaving
the train standing went down the hill
and running up again struck the train
with some force to endeavor to start it.
The battering ram only succeeded in
shaking the passengers from their seats.
One more trial in the proper way took
the train to the top.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The amend
ment to the tenure-of-otice bill had not
been signed by the President up to noon.
An apprehension exists that some mis-
take has been msde in enrolling the bill,
as prominent members of both houses
differ as to its construction. II so the
bill may be returned to Congress for cor
rection
The Attorney General has decided that
Congress alone can fix the relative rank
OF line and staff officers in the navy, and
orders in contrsvention of this decision
have beer ennuled. The Reconstruction
Committee held q long session this
morning, at which the Texas question
first came up for discussion, and Gen.
Davis made q speech in opposition to the
| Constitution proposed by the late Con-
vention, and in favor OF a division Of the
State.
Ex-Gov. a. J. hamilton vas present
and put many intsrrogatories to the
speaker, which called forth animated re-
plies.
Tne Virginia question was then taken
up, and a mixed commission of ABOUT
twenty Republicans and Conservatives
appeared. Two Of them, Mckenzie, of
alexandria, and Gresham, of Richmond,
made earnest appeals for q bill allowing
the submission Of the Constitution to a
vote Of the people, and allowing the dis
~frauchising clause to be voted on sepa-
rately.
It is understood the committee will
vote iu favor of postponing the election
in Texas, and deferring action in the case
OF Virginia until next session.

MILITIA TAX.

A correspondent Of the Brownsville
Bee, signing himself " Irish" says
The report is current that since the militia
have been sent to the counties OF Gibson. Hay
wood aud Madison, those counties. indepen-
dent OF the other counties of Tennessee, will
be taxed for the s-ppOrt Of said militia.
As an Old citizen OF Haywood, who has been
aiding for near Y forty years the honest effort
to redeem these counties from Ignorance and
oppre son.. ! call upon the good citizens to in
vestigate this report, and If they and It to be
true, they Will then hold meetings In each Of
the abJve-named counties, and peaceably and
legally take steps to test the legality and con-
stituu lnality of such taxation. Ia these meet
ings let the citizens unanimously uni
to ali the county Officers that the tax shall not
be paid, and force the State to bring suit. In
that event., we will carry the case to the high
est tribunal.
We have not heard Of any such puF-
pose on the part of the Radical Govern.
ment Of the State, and hope Gov.
SENTER will not lend himself to any
thing 50 fniquiious. There is no law
for it and nothing to justify it. We
think "Irish" may rest satisfied that the
State at large is responsible for the pay
and provsnder Of the militia, aud that
both will be satisfied from the State
Treasury.

CURA.


The Cabs question nears q solution.
The Chairman Of the House COMMITTEES
OF Foreign Affairs, (Gan. BANKS, Of
Mass with the unanimous concurrence
Of his fellow members, has reported to
the House q resolution of sympathy for
the people OF Cuba pledging Congress
to give it's constitutional support to
President GRANT Whenever he may
deem it expedient to formally RECOGNIZES
the independence of the island. The
knowing ones about Washington say
there is no room to doub. the passage OF
such a joint resolution By both houses +:
and that it will be interpreted, not only
by the Cuban Envoy, but by the repre-
seDtatiyes of Spain, as well as those of
the other European governments, to
mean immediate recognition; for With
such a resolution, joined to his W
prOmptings in the matter, but few DAYS
will be permitted to pass by President
GRANT before announcing what is re-
garded by the press and people of the
United States as a fOregOne conclusion.
As We before stated, the President will
quote the Monroe doctrine as an offsett
to European remembrance snd Spain, if
not insolently snubbsd, will receive such
hints and sdmonitions as will serve to
quiet any belligeFent fancies she NAV
desire to indulge in.
While their cause is thus happily pro-
crossing in the United States, the insur-
gents are not idle. Every day increases
their numbers and efficiency. Recruits
by the hundred, and munitions Of war Of
every description, are being landed frem
scores OF swift running b~iockaders, said
to be now as numerous in the harbor of
Nassau IS during our latecivil war, when
the COnfederacy received almost the
bulk of its supplies through that source.
That nearly all the men, arms, money
and provisions, thus received by the
Cubsns are from the United States there
can be no doubt, and as little that il is
suffered to be 50 by the Federal Govern.
ment for the sake Of the end which Gen.
GRANT has had in view ever since his
nomination to the Presidency. The
days are few that intervene between the
rebel Cubsns and their independence.

D. GOLD FOE


We learn from the Mobile Price Cur
rent. that the Board of Trade OF that city
will consider the question of Gold for
Cotton f" at it's next meeting, and that
the Chamber OF Commerce OF New Or
leans has it now under advisement. The
policy is no doubt destined to be adopted
throughout the South. The argument
In it's favor is simple and iTrefutabIe.
The New Y rkers get gold, or its equiv
slent In exchange, for all Southern sta
pies exported, why not US? The planter
a settle the question by a line to his
commission merchant, insisting upon
gold, and We hope be will do it. By
such a course much may be saved to the
South that is Row lost in exchange and
for advances and by a simple and easy
method the now vexed question Of specie
payment be solved. We suggest that
our Chamber Of Commerce consider this
question Of "a Gold for Cotton"

The crop Is moved under great difficult
ties, as compared with ten years ago and
ai is impossible, literally impossible, for
any m~pShfacturing enterprise to find en-
c~ourakement from mOneyed institutions.
And this is SO not because there lie any
want of disposition by the banks TO help,
but that the money is not here. Even
vet, with all our profits from the crop OF
1868, We are short OF funds, and bal.
anees ere still held by New England and
New York. With u share OF the bank
ing privileges enjoyed by our more IA
vored brethren Of Massachusetts, and
the increasing earnings OF vi people, in
= few years we would be independent Of
any Of the contingencies that msy now
be forced upon u by the speculetions
and infations of the gamblers at the
great centers. Anyway, it is due to us
and to the people OF the West, that
there shsll be 3 redistribution Of cur
rency upon an equitable basic, that
we may be able to retain so
much of our profits as now go north
in the shape of discounts and p%ercenta-
ges. We would rather, were it possible,
sweep away the whole National Bank
system ia favor OF one that would sd
NIT of the employment Of lands and
other values s capital, enabling Us to
resume our old-tims financial ease but
since that is impossible we must insist
upon q redistribution that will compel
New England, in psrt, to relax her grip
upon our industries and u commerce.
