The Hudson County Division of the Co

given in the evening in Library Hall,
by the Very Rev. Canon Moynihan, OF
New Orleans. Father Hennessy, Canon
Moynihau and the officers of the Union en-
tered the Hall at half-past seven. State
delegates in regalia, and Populations from
the several parishes in Jersey City were
present to hear this distinguished divine
from the South, of whose eloquence and
devotion to his people they had heard SO
much. Father Moynihan was introduced
by Father Hennessy at o'clock, and his
address lasted one hour. Many were
moved to tears by his feeling appeals,
while he would at times convulse all with
laughter with flash of humor. He Is

fishes what purports to be letter from
Seattle, denouncing the trustees of the
Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad as
scalawags," belonging to a clique of
adventures. We are erieved and sur
prised that such a SANDER could find
place in the Statesman. Walla Walla
is not so far from Seattle, where the
gentlemen are known, that they are
likely to suffer in reputation, from such
low and malicious attacks. The States
man and its correspondent are but
shooting arrows at the sun.

Byles that his grain. which was all
stacked ready for the thresher, was
burned. The loss falls very heavily, as
there was some 1.2G0 or 500 bushels
Of grain, all lost jus, after tie expense
and labor of harvesting. All his wheat
and barley were destroyed and most OF
his oats. He had fred some piles Of
logs and brush day or two previous
TO get ready for the thresher, and it is
supposed that the fire was communi-
Gated to the grain stacks from some
smouldering fire, the grain being in
the same field.

Mr.. Redick and others represented to
President Grant and Secretary Richard
son the necessity of immediate action,
but they were informed that the Con-
stitution could not be violated. It was
agreed by the President and Secretary
to instruct the Assistant Treasurer at
New York to buy an Government bonds
offered for sale to any amount. The
savings banks hold many millions of
Government bonds, and it is probable
that they will sell them, and deposit
the proceeds in National banks, which
will give them relief.
Savings Banks take Precautions against
n Run.
Officers of savings banks have taken
prompt action to prevent an immediate
run on their several institutions. A
number of them met to-day and adopted
resolution that that portion of the
rules governing savings institutions re-
quiring notice to be given previous to
payment be rigidly enforced.
