against the increase of the Uni,cd Ststos

army during the late war with that of the
Confederates, and says:

COMPLIMENTARY The following extract
from the New York Mercantile Journal Of
January oath, 1874 inrepubIishing the letter
Of observer" which we last published, will
ser7e to shoa ia what high esteem our corrcs-
pondent is held abroad:
1.-The subjoined letter from an active, large
hearted, persistent worker in the interest Of
his fellow men. TO another possessing in stilI
larger degree, if possible he qualities, will
be of interest to the public, although some
may think the picture shade overlravD.--
We are perhaps, too much inclined to aiyiso
moderation even when the case needs sharp
treatment; but we nay say without hesitation
that we regret exceedingly there are not many
millions more as anxious that truth and justice
shall triumph"

Amendments to the Senate Finance Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency examined the
Senate Finance bill, and amended it in impor
tant particulars. The following are the amend
mentS:
In the second section the words were stricken
out, "And each national banking association,
now organized, or hereafter to be organized,
shall keep and retain as part of its reserve
one-fourth of the coin received by it as interest
on the bonds of the United States deposited as
security for circulation"
The entire third section was struck out The
section requires each national bank, within
ninety days. to keep its lawful money reserve
within its own vaults at the place where its
operations of discount and deposit are carried
on. The section also repeats the provision per-
hitting the redemption Of notes elsewhere than
at the counters of banks.
The eighth section was amended by substitute
ing forty for twenty-five per centum in the pre-
visions for retirement of greenbacks. The final
vote has not, however. been taken on the Sec
ton, aud it may be further amended.
Treasury Balances. 80
The following are the Treasury balances to-
day:-Currency, $40, $50, 1867; special deposit of
legal tenders for redemption of certificates of

Threats of Violence ut williamsburg.
NEW YORK, May 2O-A Northampton,
Mass, special states that a large number OF
Irish people have harbOred revengful feelings
against Spellman, whom they falsely accuse OF
OBTAINING Cheney so that the latter could not
warn the people of the flood in season. They
threatened to burn his house and hang him
yesterday. Spellman removed his family and
with half dozen neighbors well armed, pick
eted his premises. The police were sent for
and the Irish began to gather in knots of four
and five, but finding detachment of Captain
Prouty's company of the I'd Massachusetts regl,
ment on duty, the rioters quietly dispersed
down the valley.
A Bad Job.
At the examination of the breach of the res
ervoir yesterday by the legislative committee
it was proved that the work had not been done
according to the specifications, as the founda-
tions had not been built four feet below the
bottom of the reservoir as specified, and the re-
suit was that the water worked through the
earth under the foundation and gradually
caused the breach. The embankment also OF
the wall proves to be forty feet narrower than
the contract specified. =
Various Matters.
BOSTON, May 2O.-The Mill River relief fund
in Boston now amounts to $4,000.
