WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 1873.
The result Of the protracted conference In New
York to-day between President Grant and Secre-
tary Richardson the part of the government
and the leading bankers OF New York has been
awaited here with much interest. The Comp
troer of the Currency said to your correspondent
this evening that the action OF the national
banks in New York in strengthening
each other was not only commendable, but
in his opinion would make further government aid
unnecessary. He had received telegram nom
Secretary Richardson TO the effect that he would
return to Washington Monday morning, but had
not Indicated what the policy oil the Treasury De-
partment would be this week, but he believed that
1t would still be liberal purchase OF bonds. The
report that the Secretary has said that 1t was
mot his funeral" is substantially the same remark
made on Thursday, when the news Of the crisis was
first received. II stated this correspondence
last night that the Treasury Department was
willing to purchase bonds with greenbacks to the
extent that might he necessary TO reneve the
present CRISIS This he said he was ready to do,
and and ne ne mas thus lar accommodated M tne banks OF

serve. Secretary Richardson, 1t can be stated,
wrote portion OF the argument OF Senator Wright,
OF the Finance Committee, on the right to expand
the Legal Tender circulation, If necessary, to
$4o0OO0,0o0, so that he has no computation OF con-
science in drawing on the $44,ooo,oO0 reserve
He has also stated that his large currency
balance was In expectation Of financial trouble

careless Banking operatIons,

They who grow rich grow careless. This he.
evidently been the case with the Banks Of New
York. The Bank OF the Commonwealth, Of New
York city, closed on Saturday. Soon after the
suspension, Mr.. Ellis, the President Of the Bank
made the following statement:
"Our failure is caused by the action of Mr.. Ed.
ward HAight, Of the firm Of Edward HaiRht & CO.
Yesterday afternoon he oVerdreW his account h

The bank is now in charge of Charles Meigs,

Tho Financial Trouble.

Up to Saturday, about twenty firms had failed
in New York, and several mOned institution
there and in Philadelphia, closed. On Saturday
the excitement in New York was more intense
than on any previous day, and the Union Trust
Company, and the Bank of the Commonwe llth sus-
pended, aud a number of Brokers in that city
Union Trust Company is only temporary, end il
charged to the conduct of the managing Secretary
Mr.. c. Carlton, son Of Rev. DR.. Carlton, Of the
Methodist Book Concern. Mr.. Carlton absented
himself, and it was discovered during the day that
he had made loans to friends and relatives on Sc
curties that are, with one exception, not good
One loan OF S20, 900 was made to his father. Carl
ton had the entire mana cement Of this great fnan-
cial institution He is said to be defaulter to the
amount Of $j00,000 1t is said that it sold Geo.
600 bonds to the Government late on Saturday,
which will enable it to resume to-day. 1t has,
also, over $50, ,0O00OO call loans which have been
called in and will he available
Late on Saturday the doors of the Stock Ex-
change were directed 10 be CLOSED, and not 10 be
opened until the crisis had passed.. The presence
of the President of the e. S. and the Secretary of
the Treasury, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel did
not tend very much 10 allay the excitement
Bot conference was held by the Bank Presidents
and merchants who proposed that thirty millions
of the legal reserve be iF-ued to the New York
banks, bat the proposition was POSITIVELY declined
by the President as unconstitutional. The final
result was thai the Assistant Treasurer at New
York was instructed to advertise for an unlimited
amount of FivS-twenties of 1881, at par, in gold
Hopes are expressed that the panic reached its
crisis on Saturday, and the excitement will wholly
pass away with to-dAy's operations. But there Is
no certainty as to this.

Still Growing over a Los, Bone.

The Gazette is still hArping on the subject Of
Advertising SherlHs sales and II declares that the
od law required the Sheriff 70 60 to the defend-
ant and request hm to designate one paper and the
Sheriff designated the other paper" There is bnt
one answer TO this and that is that il is sntrelV
false. The defendant had the right 70 designate
both papers, and, therefore, he could have done
just what We said he could. We did not say il
was done, though we believe that after the fact
that this was the law became known, Il was taken
advantage Of BY some debtors to secure the publ
cation OF their sales In papers that would not
reach those such advertisements ought 10 have
reached, and that papers Of small circulation were
purposely chosen, for this reason
The law was always as re have stated IL but
the practice had long been TO Leave the matter en-
tirely with the SheEih, and they do say that Il
was the Gazette itself who raised all the row bV

vent the transfer Of the SheriiI's advertisements

again obtained control in this county.-EVery
RUeniIag. s
Every Sheriff for the last fifteen years, know,
that it had been his custom to got the defendant
TO name one paper in which the sale of his prop.
erty should be advertised. II the defendant saw
proper he oOnld designate the other paper, nor
does the language quoted from the GAZETrK above,
say to the contrary. But the defendant could not

1t is great mistake which many men make in
allowing their property to be sold by the Sheriff
No farm will bring as much at Sheiif sale as at a
public sale by the owner, while the costs aud ieei
run the cost of sale up hundred and fifty per
cent. higher than it would If made by the owner.
No man should allow his property to be sold in
this way if he can help it. We believe that there
is loss Of about $1,000 in every FIVE by such sales-

Bat that paper nov says: Gee Did not say q

that paper or the willfulnets, one or the other
Sheriff Armstrong knows that we never said one
word to him the subject Of advertising his sales
prior 10 his ordering them into the Gazette; and
We did not even expect him to order them in our
paper. He was anxious to follow the law closely
and ia doing so found the 8asetts Was The most
popular paper, and thai most Of the sales were or
dcted in it. white the balance were ordered in the
Republican and Commercial; we believe that not
more than one or two were ordered in the Every
EOeHlng, by the debtors on aeEendantl, and hence
the secret efforts Of that paper 10 have the law
changed, which has been charged upon it, by those
moro interested than the Gasefte. The SheriGs
attention Was directed tn the matter by the fact
that q sale by his predecessor had just been Get
aside by the Court for the reason that the late
Sheriff had not or could not prove thOt the de-
fendAnt had designated paper in which to ad-
vertlse it; or, such was the testimony as We un-
derstood, that was elected at the trial aud perhaps
published in the reports. .----..
By the change in the Law, sales are made to cost
$50 and $40 dollars for advertising, instead Of ten
to f1een and the general impression prevails that
Epery Epeatng employed lobbyist to alter and
amend the law and have it sneaked through the
legislature for the money that it saw could be
made out of the change, notwithstanding il
all comes off the poor debtor.

On Friday hopes were entei 'ained that the f.

would be quiet on Saturday. But these cherished
hopes were not realized and Saturday was not
less exciting in New York and Philadelphia than
the two days preceding. While we had enter

the excitement was only the result Of q want Ol
confidence, there are others who entertain very
different ideas of the future. The New York

Evening Post of that city aIves at the conclusion
that " nothing yet discovered will answer for q
good city pavement but stone. Paving is one Of
the plAnest Of practical matters as well as one Of
the most useful; il is of universal interest, whsh-
er one travels about the city on foot, in a public
conveyance, or in his own carriage; Just as i'm

equally valuable to the drayman with his TONS of
