There WAS meeting OF tho Merchants E1-
change yesterday, an account OF which is given
in another part OF this paper, to consider the
proposed imitation OF the currency. The senti-
nent Of the meeting was decidedly adverse to
an increase, and the resolutions set forth four
very plain propositions, to wit: ~ That the
Illinois Senators labor under misapprehension
Of the wants of tho commercial classes Of Chi
cago and the West; C2) that only great
emergency can justify tho issue OF irredeemable
paper rs money, aud that no such emergency
exists at the present time; (3) that there is
no distinction between the pledges of the Gos-
ernment and those Of IN individual, and that the
redemption Of the former has already been de-
layed too long; and q that increase Of curren~
cy at the present time would only depreciate tha:
already issued, and deranse values generally.
These positions are simply incontroversiblc.
Whether or not they are within the comprehen-
sion of the Illinois Senators to whom they are
commented, remains to be seen.

Sergeant Hood, who issued the warrant on
which Officer Seaman undertook to arrest Raf-
ferty, WAS arraigned for trial yesterday before
the Police Commissioners for his part in the
affair. The charges against him recite the we'll
known facts about the warrant that it WAS d
blank warrant filed out without authority, and
stating fnlsely that Rafferty, had been charged
npon oath before Justice Banyon with an Of
fense against the laws OF the State, and continue
TINT he ordered 6can1an to make the arrest with
it, illegal and improper as he knew it to be.
President Sheridan urged that the trial begin at
once in order that the evidence that Rafferty,
was thus illegally arrested might be produced
before he was hanged, but the Commissioners
decided to postpone the trial for week.

ers we're respectable business men," II
he has any doubt that the respectable business
men Of Chicago are opposed to hla views on in
hating th currency, it ought to be d:spelled by
tue action of the Merchants Exchange, referred
to below, and by the unanimity with which the
Board OF Trade are signing tho petition now be-
fore them on the same subject. The memorial
deprecates the issue Of any more paper money.

So little thing as the mistake Of copying
clerk in adding tho letter ''s" to the word
'sfruit " in the Tariff, end placing comma after
it, has cost the United States $500, 900 revenue
q year, and may lead, Senator Thurman eays to
still greater loss. When the Treasury is facing
deficit, and the Appropriation Committees are
cutting down evary possible expenditure, $780,
600 q ychr is too much to lose, but the Senate
did nothing to correct the mistake, rs Senator
Thurman advised it to do. Such mistakes
ought not to occur, and might be prevented by
the adoption Of Senator Anthony's suggestion,
that bills ahould paes betHeen the Houses iu

MIR. SCOTT'S HUMBLE PETITION.

Mr. Thomas 4. Scott, the great railroad ac-
cumulator, the President Of scores Of roads, and
proprietor OF dozen or moro Improvement and
construction companies, met With elight mis-
hap last fall. Mr. Scott was at that tirne engaged
in building the Texas L Pacific Railway. As
President of the Texas d Pacific Railway
Company, Mr.. Scott had contracted with him
self, as manager Of tho California l. Texas
Railway Construction Company, to build the
Texas L. Pacific Railway. Mr.. Scott is
also President OF The Atlantic j. Pacific Rail-
road Company. Tho length Of these two rail-
ways is: Texas Il Pacific Railroad, 1875 miles
Atlantic & Pacific, ans miles. To the first,
Congress has granted 17,o0o GOO acres of public
land, and to the second. 49,558, 900 acres, or
total Of 66,500,0 600 acres Of public land.
offered Tor sale ss0,oo0,000 frst-morrgage
bonds, and 10000, 600 land bonds. How far
those bonds have been sold We do not know, but
suppose that, after the modern fashion, they
were delivered over to the Construction Com
pany. Tho capital stock Of the Texas l. Pacific
Railway Company was $o,000,000, Of which 10
por cent Was subscribed for, or 100000 in all.
That is all the "private capital" subscribed;
how much, it any, Of it was paid, We do not
know. So long as 1Ir. Scott's Construction
Company could sell frat-mortgase bonds, or
hypothecate them, or get rid Of them, every
thing worked admirably, anu the notes of the
Construction Company we're scattered ali over
the country. Tho collapse of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company, in September, was fol-
lowed by the collapse OF Afr, Scotts Railway and
Construction Companies and q suspension Of
the sale Of bonds. Under these circumstances
he has prepared memorial to Congress to the
following effect.
That the money expended in the construction
Of the Texas Pacific Railroad is private capi-
tai solely that the abandonment OF the pro-
posed line Of that railway, and also of the line
Of the Atlantic Il Pacific Railroad, and the adop-
tion Of q new line, would save 1,5o0 miles Of
road, and enable the Companies to restore 30,-
0oo, 900 acres, Or one-half the land, to the Gov

An examination Of the private bank-account
Of ex-Collector Harper's Chief Clerk reveals
somo facts which would be startling if they were
not 80 common in the accounts Of Internal Rev
anue officers. Mr. Smith swore last fall that his
only income was the 81, 500 annual salary which
10 received as Mr. Harper's clerk, and s., 900
from other sources. His bank book shows that
II the eighteen months between April, 1872, and
October, 1873, be received il, cash and by drafts
IN the Pehn disti1lers the snug sum OF s51 55Gos.
Ehe inconsistency between his account and his
oath is plain enough, and will sharpen the in
auiry how IN honest man could save 30 much
,nt Of so small q salary.
