. SECRETARY BoUrwELL's FINANCIAL CHARLANrrAIsM
In its money article of the 1st the World thus fairly
and justly reflects upon the specializing Secretary of the
Treasury at the same time taking occasion to advise
New York merchants to sell their goods for gold
"Ihe trickery of Mr.. Boutwell,, and his generally be-
lieved completely with Wall street stock.obbing and
gold gambling schemes, were again publicly illustrated
to-day by an official notice of change in the pro-
gramme for selling gold in March, which was publish
ed to-day. The Government advertisement in the
newspapers yesterday and this morning ordered sales
OF sS,O00,0oo god-viz 81 900, 900 each on March
3, II and 3l-and So 900 900 purchases of bonds To-
day TINS as changed, by order of Secretary Boutwell,
to 900 gold sales, emitting that on March s,
ana leaving the purchases OF bonds at $4,000, 900.
The effect of this stockjobbing trckery the part
Of the Secretary disgust bankers and legitimate
traders, and also to play into the hands Of the Wall
street bull cques by advancing the price of gold from
1l5 to 1l64 The action of the Secretary in this mat
ter like bis reusals to sell gold at 1872 l22 and 100,
may check temporarily the natural downward of
gold, but it can do so only for season. Merchants
and bankers are becoming heartily sick of the stock
iobbing trickery of Mr. Boutwes policy, and the gold
fluctuations engineered by the Secretary's god-gamb
ling friends. Yesterday, when Mr.. Boutwefs official
programme for March published, the Treasury De-
partment ring of oldgambers and stock kobbers were
buyers of gold and it reported to their friends,
'confdentally, that it was safe purchase Mr..
Boutwells somersault to-day on the gold sales for
March, in changing them from sS00000o to $4,000,
900, explained the point on which the Treasury
gold gamblers buyers of gold yesterday. 1t
proved to be very good point, both pleasant and
profitable to those in the confidence of the Treasury
ring
"The only safe guard for merchants is to buy and
sell for gold, the in California, taking gold as
the standard for prices and quoting greenbacks at
discount. If this plan were adopted, then the Gold
Room would be annhated and the discount on green
backs would advance steadily to par in gold than
is possible for premium in gold to decline to par
There woud be less speculation in greenbacks quoted
at discount than in gold quoted at premium. The
discount on grrenbacks would represent more fairly
their real value than the premium in gold although
both profess to show the same thing"

MISCELLANEOUS.

| RICHMOND Va, March 1s.-This afternoon General
Candy interfered in the municipal troubles by sending
guard of soldiers and raising the sege at the lower
station house, and giving free egress and ingress hu
sness there. This action has reference the ques
ton OF the Mayoralty but is taken purely precau
ton against acts of disorder violence This action
is appauded by the friends of Cahoon and was pro-
tested against by Allison unwarranted interference
with the civil laws of the State. When the military
took possession of the station house Mayor Allisons
police left and being rocked by the crowd of coored
men they charged them when about fifty shots were
| fired and two three colored men were wounded.
Affairs have since queted down. Tomorrow both
Mayors will have police force the Streets and
hold independent courts Trouble is apprehended
The Council is in session tonight considering what
shall be done. The City Council to night passed an
| ordinance abolishing the station houses now in the
hands of Cahoons police and authorizing Mayor Alli-
to call out the fire brigade police and pledging
the city to pay all special police by Allison also
authorizing the city court 10 be held at the City Hail.
pedging Mayor Allison the earnest support of the
Council in his efforts to maintain peace in the city
against the lawless who contendng against it,
The city is quiet this evening. Cahoon has his head
quarters at the lower station house. The military
guard is at Allison's headquarters, City Hail. Armed
police patrol tonight.

Our CoNGREssMAN.-Writn from New Orleans to
his paper Blackburn thus speaks of matters and things
Political bitterness is not so intense here now as
few weeks ago. Leading men of both parties con-
santly freely comforting together-some for the com
good of the land, and others, doubtless for the
special consummation of some individual enterprise
of class legislation. There is much of this juggling
going on-much than the unsophisticated honest
have any idea of. Nor is it confined to State
legislation it is in Congress. 1t is we'll understood
at Washington that no great enterprise, involving
heavy appropriations be consummated, and no fat
Office obtained, without the payment of heavy sums
in other words, and in plain English, without bribery.
And yet Congress gets up special committees to inves-
tigate cadet frauds 1t is big cry little WOOL
and is designed than anything else, to hide the
infamy of those who stealing the whole sheep
wool, hide and all. Ny name is wrung into this mat
ter-for what purpose heaven only knows unless it is
to punish annoy for refusing to belong to any of
their rings of thieyery and plunder. What did was
accommodate the departments at the suggestion of
their clerks or agents, to facilitate the formation of
the full classes at West Point and Annapolis, and
welknown to be open and legitimate-or, if anything
to the contrary, then meany and hypocriticaly de-
signed by those who dared not let their designs be
known to me.
That sounds honest but Jasper is chicken not to
know that the receipt of that $l4oo was somewhat
irregular to say the least of it. In his card he puts
it that this money was paid in behalf of those for
whom appointments had already been secured, but
who had not accepted" If there was any doubt in
his mind to the proprety of this thing it seems to
that those aforesaid should be entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. Have they yet received that
" benefit" in actual cash? "The boys" "-it is said,
they are his own sons-shoud call on the paternal
or at least an equal division of the spoils.

We have in town a colored man, Lem Gardner by
name, who is eminently sound on the Southern ques-
ton. Lem keeps restaurant Market street in the
rear of the Metropolitan Exchange. The other day,
night, couple of fastdious gentlemen went in and
took seat and ordered their meals. Immediately
thereafter, however, their eyes rested upon horrd
spectacle-no less than photograph of one Gen. r.
E. Lee, somewhat known to fame in these Southern
wids The gentlemen became rate and demanded
that the offensive object be removed or they would
move themselves straightway from that place. Lem
told them that he was Southern man; free as
they were and that that picture should there remain
long there was life in his body Whereupon the
Arabs took their hats and quietly stole away.

The BLACK RIVER TRAGEDY.-The rumor is current
that young Jones' who escaped from the house the
night bis father and brother killed at Harrison
burg made his way down to New Orleans, and is at
present in city. At the time the attack made
upon the house, and when it discovered thatit
useless to make any defense, he left his father and
brother and went up into the second story. From
thence he passed out of one of the windows and by
clinging to the projecting bricks of the chimney,
aged to conceal himself in its shadow until after the
search was over and the attacking party had left.
As soon as he could get down with safety, be pro-
cured progue and padded along down the river. He
finally, it is said, taken board of steamboat,
and it being suspected that some of the attacking party
on board he concealed by the officers in the
hold of the boat until she reached this city
Colonel Jones and his sons it appears, expect
ing attack but did not expect it to before the
examination took place.
This is corroborated by the letter which Colonel
Jones wrote to Governor Warmoth, asking for assis
tance from the military, in which he joined by
Sheriff Baord, both seeming to anticipate trouble at
the examination.
When the attacking party announced themselves
from without Colonel Jones seemed to take in the sit
uation in minute, and remarked: There they are."
Besides the ladies in the house, there were present
Elijah B. Cotton and Sheriff Baord. Before the door
was broken in the younger Jonses, it is said proposed
to their father to make fight but he replied that
useless AS the door gave way the parties at
tacking ordered all the females and innocent parties
out of the house, and Colonel Jones throwing sheet
counterpane around him, passed with the rest
and had reached the front gate before he discover
ed and shot down.
The elder of the two sons passed out at the back
door, and had reached opening in the picket fence
in the rear, through which he passing, when he
was discovered and shot down.
Mr. Cotton, it is said, expected that, the excite
ment great he might be shot also but as soon
it discovered who he he assured that no
harm would come to him.
