Financial Affair. in New York

New YORK, March l0.-The Funding
bill has been brought prominently into
discussion in financial circles once more
by the action of the Senate in striking
ont the provision for agents in the prin-
cipal clues OF Europe, and also by the
payment of interest abroad. The re-
mari able change of front IN the Gold
Room was the great feature Of Wall
street. The C;eIt pressure II sci! god
WAS ret renewed. and tharr wa' m en-.
tie abseucs Of all noisy j. nous r8tiOus.
This change II Sjtuati ~ is due 10 the
actioa of the Senate ga the Fuuding
bill, aud the Increasing hostility to
the measure in Washington. The
decline in gold, af.eC extending
a depressing influence throughout the
produce markets and trade generally,
has now reached real estate. Property
of oil kinds is lower and rent, are COM
iug down. Real estate was the last
thing to feel the rise in gold, ard now
is the last to feel the decline. The gen.
eral trade of the city is far from being
satisfactory, business being much below
exf ectations and prices not remu-
nerative. In dry goods great com.
plants of dullness are heard. Many
country buyers bought smaller bills than
usual in consequence of the decline in
gold and have gone home. The leading
jotbers are not Offering so many bar.
gains as last week, owing to the depart
ure of buyers.

YOkAHANEA.
Particulars of the Oneidn Disu.ie,

Particulars of the Oneida Disaster.
New YORK, March 10.-The Tribune
publishes a Yokohama correspondence
on the Oneida disaster. The writer
says the whistle of the Oneida was
blown and three guns fired, still the
Captain Of the Bombay saws he neither
saw nor heard signal. Yet the stew
ard of the Bombay, OH his arrival at
Yokohama, asserted that the Oneida had
been run into and cut to the waters
edge. But the worst of the story is the
evldeEce of the British Lieutenant that
Captain Eyre told him he had cut the
whole quarter off a damned Yankee
fIigate al served her bloody-well right.
Captain Eyre's own evidence is to the
effect that the collision was too slight
to be much regarded and his pilot told
him a spit of land was near and there
was no danger and that he was good ID
minutes looking after the i'll fated ship.
The statements of Captains Clark, Crow
inshield and Master Yates agree that the
Oneida'S whistle was blown tiercely,
and that if the Bombay had stopped or
sent boats, nearly every man would
have been saved. Mr.. Yates says as the
ship was fast sinking, Capt. Williams,
who was on the bridge, was asked to
get on board, but refused, saying, "No,
/ shall stay in my ship, if she goes
down. Lieutenant Commander Null
daur walked up and said, "Sir, the ship
is going down. 81 know it," said tho
captain, "but what can do; l have
repeatedly asked for boats, but could
not get them" At this moment the
ship settled, the smoke stack came over
aud forced the cutter from the ships
side, and she went down, stern first. |
handed the captains clerk, Vim. T.
Crowinshield, on board and made a
great effort to gave Lieutenant.Com-
mandcr Stewart, but he sunk just be-
fore reached him, saying, as he went
down, For Gods sake, save me-" he
was quite i'll at the time.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-THE life of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptnral maxim that science proves to be true.
The people talk of bad blood. as the cause OF
many diseases, and like many popular opinions
this of bad blood is founded in truth. To say
nothing of those humors thSt are hereditary, We
an easily see how the Blood may become bad
from the imperfect Digestion or failure of tx
oretion, and how this may influence the process
Of Nutrition, and thus influence all the func-
tional activities of the body.
The symptoms of bad blood arc usually quite
plain-bad DigestiOn-causes imperfect nutri'
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity,

by impure blood. II is estimated by some that

When the Blood is pure, you are not so liable

FROM CHICAGO.
The Attack on the PiegRu Indians
Letter from Gen. sherman, etc.


CHICAGO, March [10.-Accompapying
the reports relative to. the Piegan In
dams, the Tribune publishes letter
from Sherman to Sheridan, dated March
9TH, in which he says the Piegans were
attacked on the application of General
Sully and the Interior Department, and
that these should now be shocked at the
result of their own request, and en-
deavor to cast the blame on you and
Colonel Baker is unfair. General Sully,
by communicating by telegraph for the
use of Mr.. Colyer, did an unoficer like
and wrong act, and this will in the end
stard to his discredit.
General De Frobrand, commanding
the District of Montana, in forwarding
Colonel Bakers report, says it Is most
gratifying that a complete success was
attained, not only in q severe punish.
ment of the PIegans, but in the telling
effect of that manifestation of our power
on the whole of the Blackfeet nation,
Bloods and Blackfeet proper, who
henceforth will carefully avoid bringing
upon thousands similar retribution by
the murder of white men and deprada-
tions on settlements. This has given
the chiefs friendly disposed power
of controlling their wild young warriors
much better, and inspired those i'll dis
posed with a salutary fear which will
coerce them into good behaviour in the
future. The peace and security of the
Territory may therefore be considered as
restored, at least for pretty long time
and may be forever ifjudicious measures
are taken to prevent occasions OF new
trouble as we'll from lawless white men
as from Indians. This most desirable
result has been accomplished, chiefly by
the activity, energy and Judgment with
which Colonel Baker has conducted OPP
CITATIONS, combining himself in every
respect to his instructions and making
the most of what was left to his discre-
ton. would therefore recommend the
experienced and able officer to the APP
proving commentator of the superior
headquarters for a promotion, by brevet,
as q just acknowledgement OF his excel
lent conduct in this instance.
Inspector General Hardie, who was
sent To Montana by General Sheridan
to ascertain the condition of Indian
affairs, makes lengthy report, showing
that the Piegaus had been guilty OF
many murders and Iobberies of whites,
aud expressing the opinion that chas-
tisement was necessary.
General Sheridan in letter TO Ssna-
tor Ross, on Kansas politics, Gays: Gen
eral Seotield has reported to me that he
considers q war inevitable and with the
very Indians We have been feeding for
the last year. We are very much EN-,
barrassed by the apparent sympathy of
members of Congress and humanaiari-
ans generally who seem to forget that
all we require Of tho Indians is that
they shall not murder our people. There
will be no Indians killed or injured by
my orders if they will comply with this
very reasonable condition.
