did write letter to Mr.. John Il. Williams
containing propositions TO purchase exchanee
and issue legal tenders substantially az stated In
this mornings TRIBUNE, and at the request oil MI
Williams and other bank presidents, special meet
inc of the Clearing house Association has been
called for tomorrow at o'clock, to CONSIDER the
Presidents proposition for relief which, IN
10 the action proposed by the Government Is unuoi
stood TO ur &c the Associated Banks TO keep IN crcu
aon the Clearing house certificates already issueu'
and to put out more if there shall seem to be any
necessity for such action. The banks do not YET SEQ
fit to come to the relief Of the STOCK
Exchange In the matter Of check certihcations,
and there seems to be end to the complications
and acknowledgements Of the Gnnnell troubles and
these are sufficient 10 keep the stock movement
quiet. The general situation outside OF Wall-st Is
improving, aud currency seems TO have fairly
started thus way an extra million and half or 30
of greenbacks having found Judgment in the banks
during the last day or two. Some Of the more prom
nent banks are settling their differences at the
Clearing house III greenbacks aud accommo-
dating customers with legal tenders, so
that il does seem az though resumption
OF legal tender payment would soon begin, and by
relieving the domestic exchanges OF an incubus,
take long stride toward the promotion of returning
confidence. On this theory perhaps may we account
for the firm tone to stocks, prices being well sup
ported though the dealings have been on an uncom-
monty limited scale as well in the leading specula-
tiyes, such as Central, Telegraph, Lake Shore.
Wabash and Rock Island, as in the investments.

The street was considerably occupied and TO some
extent agitated by the discussion of President
Grants letter to President Williams OF the Metro
nolitan National Bank relative TO the purchase of
Sterling Exchange by the Treasury Department aud
the issue of additional greenbacks But either from
want of belief IN the truth of the statements con-
cernng the Presidents present attitude or lack OF
faith a. to the efficacy Of the medicine which Dr.
Grant proposes TO prescribe the stock spectators OBJ
stnatey refused to become enthusiastic over the pro-
nosed remedy for financial ills. Private and public
dspatches from Washin gton were received, in which
il was stated that Secretary Richardson would only
ssue greenbacks to such an extent as would be alb
soutely necessary for the current expenses Of the
Government, and he did not think this would exceed
three or four millions. II Mr.. Richardson really said
what is attributed to him in these dispatches. and
that he did there can hardly be reasonable doubt,
the fact would seem to prove that the president de-
termnes very grave questions of finance
without consulting the Secretary OF the Treasury.
fol there is no longer doubt la. pEss,dert Ggan.

The urompt manner with which the various rail-
way corporations have met their maturing interest on
their bonded debts during the current month has
done much to reassure holders Of this class OF seed
rites. This has been winnowing' year IN rail-
way bonds, and good many Of them will perhaps
never appear again in the market. Corporations
which desire any further credit in completing and
extending their roads will no doubt be prompt 10
providing for their interest maturing for the next
three months; while roads classed " wild cst7

OELwEIN.-Among the new towns
which are springing into existence along
the line.of the B., G. r. & NJ. Railway,
one of the most prominent, if not the
very best, is that whose name heads this
article. Oelwein is situated fourteen
miles north of Independence, in the midst
of large, rich, and well settled farming
country. There is more wheat and pro-
duce tributary to it than to any new
town north of this city on the line of the
road, and in the situation for flourish
ing station 1t is unsurpassed. 1t will
undoubtedly be an excellent point for
trade, and some of our traders, not slow
to appreciate this fact, are making pre-
parations to establish branches of their
business there. The railroad company
has an interest in the town, and will un-
doubleday push it into prominence to the
extent of its influence. 1t has already
been fixed as the dining station Of the
road. The company are now erecting
depot buildings, water tank, etc., and the
large grain warehouses are building by
private parties. Two lumber yards are
in operation, one by s. C. Kenyon, of
this city, and are doing prosperous bu-
siness. We hear that lots in Oelwein are
selling at low figures, on long .time, and
without any pay down. The post office
at Otsego has been removed to Oelwein.
We are indebted for portion of the
above items regarding tho new town to
Mr.. King, of King & Kenyon, who are
building a branch store at Oelwein.

CRIME AND ARREST. Daniel and John

CRIME AND ARREsT.-Daniel and John |
Wright are the names of two consumma:e
rascals whose record of horse stealing,
robbery, violence, Jail breaking, &c. is
somewhat lengthy. Daniel is the hus
band of the daughter of an old man NAM
ed Nathan Holman who lives in Newton
Township. For obvious reasons, Wright's
wife refuses to live with him, and out of
thi sdese lion, and attendant circumstances
has grown family feud. On Wcdnes.
day of last week, Daniel Wright in com.
pany with his brother, visited the resi-
dence of the Holmans, and commenced a
row by knocking the old man down with
a club, while sitting at the table. The
mother and daughter were also roughly
handled, and the Wrights supplemented
this performance by smashing about eve
ry article of furniture or crockcry in the
house, also breaking the windows and
making general wreck. They then left,
and the same night stole pair of horses
from Peter Williams, and light wagon
and harness from j. G. Buttcrfed in the
same township, with which they made off
eastward. The next morning the neigh
bors took their track, and tracing them
to within few miles of Manchester, found
the horses and wagon abandoned in u
thicket beside the road.
On Tuesday Of this week warrant for
the arrest of the Wrights was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Farr, and on We'd
nesday, taking with him officer Curricr,
he started by train to hunt them up.
Stopping at Dyersville he ascertained that
the mother of the criminals lived in cab
in in the woods, about ~ miles from
Dyersville So borrowing a shot gun
apiece, as if to 60 hunting, the officers
struck into the woods, and arriving at
the domicile OF the mother. were refused
admittance but entered it ci ct armis, and
found not the birds they were after. AS
they left to search the barn, the old wo-
man appeared with musket, which she
fred in the air and at the same time
shouted to her sons to run. This gave
| hint to Farr and Currfcr, who follow.
ing the the direction to which the old
woman shouted, soon came upon their
game, digging potatoes in half acre
clearing in the forest, secluded spot to
which there was no visible track. APP
preaching sufficiently close, Fafr drew a
bead on the boys while Currier hand
cuffed them. They were Immediately
hurried to the depot at Dyersyillc and
the same evening arrived here and were
lodged in Jail where they await attention
to their case by the grand jury and Dis
trict Court newt week. The taking o.
these scoundrels was rather q neat job
and both officers deserve credit for thu
successful performance oft.

Tho Visit OF the Cedar Rapids Fire.
men,

Our space this week will not permit
lengthy account of the return visit of tho |
Independent Fire Company, of Cedar
Rapids, to our city yesterday The day
was perfcct-one of those bright, bland
days that gid the couch of the expiring
wear in this latitude, and all the condi.
tions for pleasant time were present.
The expected guests arrived by special
train at 10, A. NJ, and were met at the
depot by the boys of Hook & Ladder Co.,
No. 1, and Mayor Roszell, who made them
speech of welcome in his usual happy
style. The line of march waathen taken
up for Firemen's Hall. After short
rest the procession for parade was form
ed, with the Cedar Rapids Firemen and
their apparatus in advance. The visit
ing company numbered sixty-four, as
fine and stalwart fellows as ever manned
the brakes or held tho pipe They were
preceded by their own band, one of the
finest in the State, which added much to
the pleasure of the occasion, and to the
delight of our citizens, by their very ex-
cellent music After marching through
the principal streets the procession re-
turned to the Hall, where they left their
apparatus, and at 11:30, A. NJ, marched
to the Merchants Hotel to partake Of
dinner got up in the excellent style OF
mine host Backus.
At 2 o'clock p NJ, the companies pro-
ceeded to the river at the rear of the st.
James, for grand trial Of engines. The
machines were about equal in power and
capacity, and the contest was very even
and exciting. Victory inclined to Meth
or side, but held the balance level, and
the boys of both companies left the con-
test with the best of feelings, each re-
| carding the other as foemen worthy of
their proves.
The interval from this time to the sup
Der hour was spent in social intercourse
| between the members of the companies,
and by the strangers in viewing our city.
The boys of our home company, who do
nothing by halves, were duly attentive
to their guests, and a bond of fraternal
feeling was established, which will un-
doubleday find expression in other visits,
and other friendly contests, to test their
skill In the noble work for which
they arc organized. At 7 P. M. the torch
light procession was formed, and paraded
the streets, and to the depot. The spec
| tacle was one of rare beauty, rs the light
of nearly 200 torches cast their bright
light upon the red uniforms of the fire
men, the splendid band at the same time
sending out its inspiriting strains upon
the calm air of the night 1t was wit
messed by crowds Of our citizens, who
lined the streets upon the line of march,
and who testified to their appreciation by
many expressions of delight. Entertain
ers and guests parted with mutual ex-
pressions of good will, and all, citizens
and tiremen, voted the whole affair one OF
unmixed pleasure. No accident of serl-
GUS character married the proceedings
| from fl rst to last.

AS the Conservative has seen fit to
make the religious belief Of candidates
for county Offices the subject of newspaper
comment, it is proper to say that Messrs.
Hovcy and LOOMS, to whom it alludes in
this connection, although probably not
strictly orthodox in their views, are not
atheists. We have occasion 10 know
that they hold to q belief in Divine,
everything Providence, u failure state of
existence, and human accountability for
acts done in this life. In saying this we
do not wish to be understood as reflect
ing in any way upon the views of the OPP
posing candidates, for we have no knowl
edge OF what their beliefs may be. We
crave the pardon of our readers for allu-
ding to the subject at all, as we think that
the religious views of candidates for Office
is a subject which does not properly be
long to discussion of their qualifications.
We only have done so to prevent misap-
prchcnsion to the minds of those who
may be influenced by such considerations.
