Now that the election is over and Mr..
johnson continues in Office for another
term, there seems to be general feeling
Of ease as to the city securities and the
payment Of the interest thereon Illus
trative of this fact, bids for the currency
issue of bonds were in demand to-day at
from 581 to 59c, both bids being refused
BY dealers, who are not willing to sell At
less than 60c, and do not care to dispose
Of but small amounts evenoat that figure.
Money continues in fair demand, and
rates remain at 10 to ~ per cent. Sell
ing rates for exchange are from par to
1c discount. Buying rates remain
steady at 10 he discount on Eastern
noints. with offerings about equal to the
demand. A telegram from Cincinnati

T. Buchanan Read.

The eminent painter and poet, 7. Buchanan
Read, died on Saturday evening, at the Astor
House, New York, of pleuro pneumonia, which
he contracted just IS he was leaving Italy, about
month ago. The disease was aggravated by the
effects of the Roman malaria, OF which he hsd
been the vlctm and Oh his arrival in New York
by the Scotia. ON the 18th inst, he was carried to
the hotel in most critical condition. For IA time
it was hoped that he would rally; but. after II few
slight indications Of improvement. he sank rapidly.
and for a humber of days before his death nc
hopes of his recovery were entertained.
He was born March II, 1922, in Chester, Penn
syvania, and at Hu early age showed strong in-
elination for art. which in his native town he had
few If any opportunities to crafty. At the age
OF fourteen he removed TO Cincinnati, where h.
became acquainted with Cevin9er, the sculptor,
who awakened all his artistic instincts and caused
him to determine upon devoting himself to art
He became pupil Of Clevingor, and thought o!
becoming sculptor. Upon the departure of hi
instructor for Europe, however, MI. Read tooI
up painting, and made such rapid progress tina
he soon obtained considerable reputation, particu
larly in the line OF portraiture his female hend
especially being distinguished by grace and re-
fnement which recommended ths:.. strongly II
his patrons. In lS40 he removed to Boston, wher
he married. He resided in that city about NV
years, and under the influence OF the refined ant
cultivated social circle BY which he was surround
ed he not only made rapid advances in his profes
sion as an artist, but gained considerable tame

Tho Cecil County Land Sink.

The Cecil Democrat gives the following account
of the recent curious phenomena in that county :
For some time past rumor has prevailed that
several acres OF land on the side and at the base
of Bulls Mountain had sunk depth OF many
feet. For time the rumor was not credited :
We have now, however. reliable information from
eyewitness, that at least four of land is
slowly sinking. At some points it has settled as
much as twenty feet. and at others not more than
four feet. The spot is secluded one, that ex-
cept in fishing season is seldom visited How
long it has been sinking is not known perhaps
for several months. Since the fishing season be-
gan, however. it has settled perceptibly. The
large trees on it are aLreening more and more, and
the chusm on the hugh side is daily widening. At
some places 1t is open to the depth of fifty feet,
but no signs OF water are apparent.
By way OF accounting for this singular freak it
is stated that u large fishery On Spesuta Island
that has always been remarkable for the cearness
Of its channel, is thus year filled with mud tha,
has apparently raised from the bottom. and it is
next to impossible to haul the seine over a sp !,
whsrs formerly it moved in deep water The fish
cry is nearly opposite the site OF tho land SINK
and distant from twoto three miles. and there car
be little question that the sof. mud underlying
Bulls Mountain has been pushed out and risen il
the bed Of the river. Ii 1t continues to sink ",
shall probably soon have other islands forming d
group around Spesutia.

he gentleman take those facts,
MIR. III RICHARD. From the Treasury re.
port published in 1868, containing a statement
oi the wholesale prices in New York of articles
in general Use from 1925 to 1869.
MIR. Bu Tier, of Mass said.-Now. what I
desire is to ST. amend the law that salt used in
curing fish shall he free as was intended. I agree
that salt ought to be free. The only difficulty
in my mind is, what would he the effect il on r
salt works were 10 be broken up? But | want
to state one fact TO show that we need never be
AFRAID OF monopoly ofsalt. Vixen Jefferson
purchased Louisiana. one of the controlling
reasons that he gave for that pur.
chase was that the Island of Petit Ain.e
which was an island in Louisiana two miles il,
circumference and four hundred feet high wa.
one pure bed of salt, and it is so. There il i.
day, an island two miles in circumfer enc,
and four hundred feet high, of rock salt o.
| ninety-seven per cent; in tneness. Well, gen
tlemen may say, why has not that salt ieei
worked? 1t was worked duriI4 the rebellion
anu sent down force to caHure it and pr"
vent its being worked. SO know all about it
Thi, Is the ret~on: salt was literally brought il
free, without price, hv tie cotton-ships OF New
Orleans a- ballast. They would almost give i
away 10 get rid Of it,
Mr.. COAG.R. Tha, was in violation o
law, ior there was never time when there wa
not a duty on salt
Mr.. BU UfLEk, Of Massachusetts, am no

Mr.. MCCORMICK, of Missouri Do the

Mr., BU TIER, OF Massachusetts, -. i
not Then, again, it is very remarkable ,hat o
the Pacific coast there has been found alno
precisely another such formation, ard il is bein
worked for salt. Therefore, we have in ia
country deposits of salt imperishable and inc,
haus,ible forever, 50 far as that is conce rned
, salt is an object of prime necessity.

An Apology from the White House
for RYothov-jn-lawC Casey.

WAsHISGToN May l2.-The Congressional
Committee recently appointed to investigate
affairs at New Orleans have just handed their
printed report to the President and lie has
had an opportunity for the first time of ex-
amining it critically. In consequence of this
examination he has requested the resignation
of Mr.. Casey Collector OF Customs at New
Orleans. and his deputy, Mr.. Herwig. There
is nothing in this report to show that these gen.
tlemen were not honest and efficient in the
discharge Of their duties as Custom House
officers, but, owing to the character of certain
portions of the testimony, it was thought tina.
Il change in these officers might promote the
general interests of the service.
