before seen than at one time, except just

sioners. A few days ago John B. Morris
and John T. Denny, Jr, the former on
behalf of the Stock Exchange, and the

merchants generally, called Oh President

tional precautions for the protection OF
the monied interests. They said, in eI-
planning the stagnatiOn Oftrade, that vast
numbers Of men were out of employment
and ready for almost any deed of desper-
alton. The Board of Commissioners un-
animously resolved that corps Of de-
tectives should be sent to patrol Wall
street and other districts where banks are
situated, with orders to arrest all suspi-
ciOus persons on sight.
