far from the syndicate being in debt TO the
government the reverse is the fact as
money has been paid for bonds sliottlv in
excess of the value of bonds turned over to
the syndicate.
Rumor has it that the Secretary of the
Treasury yesterday passed to the credit of
the London firm of Jay Cooke &c Co. n
warrant for 81 ,0O0, 900 in gold, for the nav
ment of naval officers abroad, but that the
Treasury Department has been advised
that the warrant will be returned
Controller Knox will at once appoint a
receiver for the First National Bank, and
as soon as his statement can be made up it
will be- given to the public.
1t is officially stated that the suspension
OF Jay Cooke & Co. will not affect the
funds of the government so far as the syn
cicate is concerned.
The officers of the banking house of jay
Cooke d Co. here can not themselves state
as to the extent of the cause leading to the
suspension.
Ex-Governor Cooke says the closing of
the bank was taken as q precautionary
measure. and the difficulties are all with the
Philadelphia and New York houses.
Secretary Richardson was questioned by
a number of callers. While he does not
lear that the government will sustain any
loss by the failure of the First National
Bank, which had on deposit government
funds OF course, it can only be ascer-
tanned after the report of receiver shall
have been made.

Arrival of the Carrie A. Thorn.

This steamer arrived here from Shreve-
port last evening about six o'clock. When
opposite the Canal street landing she fired
two guns. came to halt, and was boarded
by DR.. White, the president of the Board
of Health He was conveyed to the steamer
by the police tugboat Two Brothers. After
the doctor had made himself known, and
was safely on board, the boat proceeded on
down to the stock landing, below the Bar
racks, for the purpose of putting Oft the
cattle brought down on her. The Two
Brothers accompanied the Thorn, for the
purpose Of bringing the doctor back to the
police station at the foot of Canal street.
Having learned these facts at the harhor
police station, we concluded to await the
return of Dr. White, in order to learn from
him the number of passengers brought
down on the Thorn, and such other facts in
relation to her as might prove interesting
to the public. While waiting there we
were agreeably entertained by Captain
Joseph H. Lawler, the officer in charge Of
this station, who informed US that our de-
tention would not necessarily be long, as
the tug was expected to return soon.
Shortly afterward the boat arrived with
DR.. White and Colonel Lindsey, the gen.
tleman who lost his wife during the trip
down the river. We conversed with both
of these gentlemen. and learned from them
the following particulars:
DR.. White assured US that there was no
sickness on board; that he had made an ex.
animation of the boat and conversed with
a number Of the passengers and the cap
tain and officers of the boat, and. that all
agreed as to the good health OF all on
board. This being the case, DR.. White saw
no reason why the boat should not be per.
mitted to come to the proper landing for
Red river boats as soon as she was ready 20
do so, and we were informed that she would
be there in very short time-possibly by
eight o'clock last night.
We learned from Colonel Lindsey that
the Thorn brought down about forty pas
sengers. He also informed US that three
persons had died on the boat during her
trip. His wife was one of the three. Her
death was announced in the REPUBLIcAN of
yesterday. Colonel Lindsey is a we'll
known citizen of Shreveport, being mer.
chant there. and president Of the board of
trade. The other persons who died were
H. F. Cline, OF Shreveport, and F. H. Pouty,
from the Red river raft. where he had been
working.
Mr.. A. Bering. = produce dealer from 81.
Louis, is the only person that had been re-
ported unwell. He left New Orleans on
the steamer Fiirt some time since for
Shreveport, and when that boat overlook
the Thorn Mr.. Bering concluded to abandon
his trip to Shreveport tor the present and
took passage for New Orleans. He is re-
ported as ailing little from an attack Of
something like the deugus. With this ex-
ception there is nothing like sickness on the
Thorn.
