NEW YORK, sept, lO.-M0Dey ruled at

custom receipts were $4,000. Gold was
active and lower, the two extremes of the
day we're III and 1105, closing Fat Ill I;
loans were from 10 to per cent for carry

business was at 9 per cent for carrying.
The eleauDgs to-day were Sll3,000000.
The Assistant Treasurer discussed to-day
$253, 900. Governments we're inactive and
unsettled. State bonds n ere quiet. Stocks
were irregular weakness predomiDating in
late dealings. Affairs in Stcck Exchange
were unsettled by continued sensational
rumors to the effect that several large
houses not identified with stocks will sus-
pend and that the affairs of the Warehouse

dition than many are disposed to admit,
Western Union broke down to 49, and
Wabash fell TO 62ss, closing at 63 on the re-

everything has been arranged for the sue
cess of the Body party. The largest deal
ings were in Western Union, Pacific Mail,
Lake Shore, New York Central and Wa
bash. Canton has been an exceptional fea-
ture, selling down to S. and recovering
quickly to 80. The sudden decline from 81
this morning and 075 yesterday gave rise to
the stories that a prominent house heavily
identified with some EDglish interests and
known to be carrying Canton extensively
was in trouble. The report is pronounced
as malicious by the firm in question and
lacks confirmation. The general market
closed up weak and well down to the low =

KICK HIM WHEN HES DOwN.

When the sun Of prospert{'s shining, ,-sr
And mAnss gr6W1ng rich every day
When in ease and comfort reclining.
And OGDEN success crowns his way
How friends will then flock about him,
But II fortune should happen to frOwn,
How quickly he'll get the cold shoulder"
And be kicked because he il down"
How kindly the world will smile on him
When life with successes abound;
d How cordially. bIandly twill greet him
As in pleasure he's riding aronud!
But then let revof1ee Ofertake him.
And his friends both il country and town
Have not kind sentence to cheer him,
But will kick him az soon az he's down
Let man get position or wealth,
Matters not if by intrigue or fraud,
The world mods apprOvingly at him,
And his acts will loudly applaud;
What though he may be great villain,
With the simple the wise and the clown,
While he's up he's tip.tOp fellow
But they "kick HIM if he ever gets down."
When man has plenty OF "greenbacks,"
And he's healthy, and festive, and gay,
And the crowd approves all he may say;
But just let him lose all his treasures,
PerchaAce, too, his health may be gone,
He'll get to be nobody quickly,
And sure TO be kicked when he's down."
What's the use of being moral or honest,
Or strive to be upright and true;
For unless man has lots OF money"
The worlds Bound to put him fight
They'll go for him" certain and surely.
From the jockey to prizes in his gown
And all stand ready to ''snub" him,
And kick him because he is down."

BOunties to COlOred Soldiers.

The prompt and vigorous prosecution of
one George E. Adams, cOlored, who was
tried and convicted before the criminal
court of this district, few days since, for
fraudulently obtaining certain money due
as bounty, or arrears of pay, to one Perry
j. Brown, late a private in company A.
Seventh United States colored troops,
evlnces determination, on the part of the
War Department. to secure to this class of
claimants the full benefits of the bounty
awarded to them by the government, and
to discover and bring to speedy justice
those engaged in fraudulent operations in
connection with this class of claims
By joint resolution of Congress, approved
March %, 1867, the work OF paying these
bounties was devolved upon the Freed
mems Bureau, and since the abolition Of
that bureau, June 30, 1872, has been con-
tinued by the War Department. Before
entering upon this work, the department,
having been made cognizant of certain
schemes resorted to by designing and I'M
scrupulous persons to deprive the claimants
of their just dues, perfected system and
prescribed regulations looking to the effect
ual defeat of the Vaccinations of those
parties, and enjoining upon the local dis
bursting officers the exercise of incessant
vigilance in discovering and bringing
promptly to the notice OF the department
any and all cases of attempted fraud or i'm
position. Through the operations of these
precautionary measures, great benefits
have Injured to the claimants, and the only
case of fraud that has thus far been discov-
cred is that of Adams, mentioned above,
which, from the evidence is substantially
as follows:
On October 4, 1872, Adams called at the
Office of the chief disDursing officer in this
city, representing himself to be Perry j.
Brown, late private in Company A, Sew
enth Regiment of United States colored
troops and by means of his personal knowl-
edge of Brown, and his familiarity with
certain incidents connected with his mill
tary history, obtained from the late Freed
mems Bureau, in Baltimore, was enabled to
successfully persOnate said soldier and to
receive the amount due on account Of his
service.
Emboldened, doubtless, by this success,
and contemplating satisfactory future, be.
a short time subsequently, again presented
himself at the disbursing office, this time as
bounty due her, and on this occasion gave
his name as George E. Adams. He was at
once recognized, however, as the whilom
Perry j. Brown, and an investigation was
at once entered upon which, resulting in es
satisfactorily the fact of his hav
ing fraudulently received the money as
stated, was followed by his arrest and pre-
iminary trial before a United States COM
missioner in the city of Baltimore, by whom
ne was held to bail for trial before the
criminal court of this District, which oc-
,urred on the eleventh instant, and resulted
n his conviction and sentence to the Albany
wo penitentiary for term of years. Wash |

Many amusing incidents in connection
with this torpedo boat might be related
while making its experimental descents off
Fortress Monroe a short time ago. The
colored population in the neighborhood of
the fort, when they saw it sink with all on
board, turned out en- D1aSse with dredging
machines and oyster tOngs to effect rescue,
the persons in the boat quietly watching
through the port lights of the vessel.
When the colored population witnessed the
explosion OF small bomb at the spot where
the boat was submerged, their dismay and
CONSERVATION knew no bounds but when
the internal machine reappeared again upon
the surface, two or three miles away from
the spot where she went down, and came
sailing toward them. they stampeded to the
