BOATING IN PATERSON.

The great event OF the season In Paterson In tie
aquatic line has for some time been the single
scull race on Dundee Lake, to come or on october
8, between George Lowe, OF the Dundee Club, and
Z. b. Atterbury, Jr., OF The H. NJ. A. Club. Both
representing the best skill OF the respective clubs,
and being the champions OF the lake, the most in;
tense interest has been manifested, and no contest
ever occurred in Paterson that created more ex-
citement. Probably $4,000 was at stake, mostly
on even bets, so even were the competitors con-
sidered. The lake yesterday afternoon was the
scene OF lie aud activity. The several boat
houses were crowded to their utmost capa-
city. and the river banks were lined with
spectators on foot and in carriages. The
race came of about four O'Clock, and when
the boats started on, the club house presented a
scene resembling the stock Exchange in q panic.
Twice the boats "fouled" on the down-trip, Great
ing great excitement each side charging the
other that 1t was not accidental. The course was
over one and fve-eighths OF mile, and Lowe came
In eight or ten lengths ahead, the time being
13 minutes, 80 seconds But owing to the excite
ment, the judges refused to announce their
decision until eight O'Clock IN the evening;
and then, al ter about an hours consultation IL
was decided that 1t was mo race" ana all pets
were declared of. The decision gave great dis
satisfaction to the respective parties but Is prob
ably the best that could have been made. The
urize was $500 SET Of silver, presented by Mr. ID.
B. Grant OF the Grant Locomotive Works. 1t is
not vet decided whether the race viii be rowed

DIR. vANDERPoEL's HEALTH REMARKS.
DR.. vANDERPOEL was then called upon, and In
answer to the call MADE few remarks He said
that experience mad taught HIM that no arbitrary
port could not be bound Justly by the same regl-
ations. Regard should always be had for the
period OF incubation in cases or contagious dis-
eases. New YORK was only tour days rom Havana,
and within but q few days. compared with other
important ports, from ports whence contagious
muniacent in her dealings with her quarantine.
and the port as quarantlned under the laws o. tne
state was Just pride to to New iorkers Honman ian
sHd word over when Sia woaid bs ready for
the reception OF well passengers from infected
ships It's value would be patent to every body. The
injected vessels arriving would be at once fumi-
gated and disiniected thoroughly, and at once al
the astonishing statement that during the past
summer there had been in quarantine seventy
tOuf cases OIL contagious disease, slSby-JWO OF
which were of yellow fever, thirteen or which had
proven fatal He then added that had ne allowed
the reporters OF the press who were so persistent
In their efforts day ana night to get at the full facts,
every vessel leaving this port would have been
quarantlned in every European port This he had
prevented by keeping ul information OF the actual
condition OF affairs from the reporters, who he
said, had afterwards looked at the matter in its
proper light when they learned the motive which
had prompted his action.
A LEGISLATORS SAY.
Mr.. john c. JACOBS was next called upon, and
made Jew pithy remarks complimenting General
Dix's general State policy, and especially euiogiz-
ing him Tor his desire to do all that he could to ad
vance the interests OF the Empire State
WHERE ARE THEY?
Several other gentlemen also made speeches.
About five O'Clock the entire party got aboard the
steamer aud returned TO this city. On near
ing the Upper Quarantine the steamer
Deutschland, which had just arrived
from abroad, was deserted and at the
suggestion OF several gentlemen OF the company
the Hopkins was run alongside Of her. About
twenty OF the party went aboard the steamer, the
forward part OF whose deck was crowded with Ger
man emgrants While they were roaming about
on board the new conner the Hopkins slyly backed
away, turned bow towards the city and lett them
to their late Whether they were taken in as
emigrants their arrival at Castle Garden Is q
question that was not settled up to midnight.

WI. Neville, q young druggist, was snot and
instantly killed last night AT his store, corner Of

having been very respectable young man, who

SIR have the honor to acknowledge the

stringency in the money market and the diffculty
OF obtaining currency, requests that the sum OF
$500, 600 be placed and maintained on deposit with
the Assistant Treasurer at Charleston, to be used
by him in the purchase OF New York exchange
from the banks
TO comply with the request 1t would be necessary
for the Treasury Department to send currency by
express to Charleston from time to time and to
buy with it exchange on New York in competition
with private bankers. Should this request be
might with equal propriety ASK Tor the same relief.
and II all such requests were impartially granted
the Depal tment would find itself engaged in an
extensive exchange business, liking and regulat-
ing the rate of exchange between different places
IN the country; and the pubic money, raised by
taxation only for the purpose OF carrying on the
government, would be employed to very large
amount in business which Congress has not yet

to engage in.
With due regard to the proper management OF
the Treasury Department within the provisions OF

quest must. therefore, receive the same response.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 3, 1873.
The report that the Commercial Bank had closed
its doors this morning was premature This arose
from the fact that they refused to pay large checks
and certificates. The bank is still paying small
checks and certificates Of deposit to women and
poor persons who really need their money Tor i'm

following the same plaa. Other banks are feeling

The Conduct Of Three Members Of the Stock

The original condition OF things is brought back
nothing more for the curiosity seeker to find
than there is on any other busy thoroughfare OF
the city. Men go about their business much as
usual. and few evidences remain visible OF the
hurricane and its disastrous effects In the bank
ing houses and the brokers' offices the visitor to
unusual has happened. He hears about 1T IN the
talk OF the many groups that pass the time
in the reception rooms OF the banks, and,
in truth, there little else made topic OF
conversation 1t is plainly evident however, that
the eifervescence is subsiding and everything is
have suspended business are making preparations
to resume again; creditors are more than ever
satisfied with the securities which they hold be-
cause they see the market Strengthening every
hour and symptoms OF an early financial recovery; !;
while money begins once more to now freely-is
moving towards the West and South just as it
might have done before the panic; exchange is
assuming It's normal relationship to the market,
and every feature OF the street appears
to be combining in heathful way with every
other feature for the restoration Of public conf
dence. The only fear Is that Wall street, being
such spasmodic pyrotechnic sort of community,
may too suddenly yield to the gracious influences
that are now at work. and by creating an artificial
market induce evils that could be well checked
at any other time, but which now would only COM
plicate the difficulties OF the situation.
