The effect of the Boston fire upon the
money market is the subject of editorials
in all the morning papers.
The Tribune says: If it is within the
power Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
to afford temporary relief to the sufferers,
let him do it Immediately, and report his
action to Congress, and an Act of indem-
nifty will, doubtless, be passed. Ae
The Herald says: The Secretary of
the Treasury assures the public that the
Government will use its money. The
situation should be viewed coolly and
calmly by everybody. The panic Of the
excitement will only aggravate the dis
aster.
The World Y Judge Richardson,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, an
nounces himself on duty to stave off, if
possible. the financial panic from the
Boston fire. This is the very time for
him and Secretary Boutwell, to publicly
forswear n intent to again initiate the
currency. Let Secretary Boutwell, and
Assistant Secretary Richardson make
haste to give a public pledge that they
will not add to this visitation by fire q
calamity of imitation. One devastation
is all the Country can bear.

We are informed that the Government
