more than two hours. The note just re-
ceived from the Earl of Derby upon the
Winslow eytradition case was the SUBJ
iect of attention. The document was read
to the members of the Cabinet by Secre-
tary Fish, and at the conclusion Of the
reading a general conversation ensued
upon the subject matter OF the communi-
cation.
Secretary Fish will soon reply 20 Earl
Derby, and white it is not learned what
the exact nature the response from this
government will be, it can nevertheless
be said that the position already held
will be adhered to. The tone Of the com.
municalion to- day was Of character TO
indicate very clearly that the duty of
this government lies in the abrogstion
of our extradition treaty with
Great Britain, though this depends ou

A Scene In The First Presidential
MausiOn.
Secretdrv.

Ii has become lately habit with many
OF Us TO look upon Washington a. mag
ni6cent, proper but rather wooden figure
head of the new nation. There can be
no doubt, from contemporary records,
that, on the contrary, he cverted = tre-
mendous personal magnetism.
He was clumsy, slow, heavy man;
but with sad sincerity OF great purpose
in every word and action. "There WAS
An indescribsble something in Washing
ton" SAYS one of his contemporaries,
(which awed every man who came in
contact with him." We nave many pic
lures Of this brilliant court of Philsdsl-
phia, but none which please US so much
as the story Of girl-friend of lovely
Nelly Gurus, who spent night in the
presidents mansion. "When ten,%'clock
csme Mrs. Washington retired, aud her
granddaughter accompanied her, and
read chapter and psalm from the old
family Bible. All then knelt together
in prayer. and when Mrs. Wsshington's
maid had prepared her for bed, Nelly
sang a soothing hymn, and, leaning over
her. received from her some words Of
counsel and her kiss and blessing

STocKS- Have been exceedingly irreg-

still continues prominent and the street

suit of the coming election. The opening
sales were at 81, from which point there

break in coal roads, and New Jersey

Western Union and Lake Shore
advanced in early dealings, but after

last hour the stocks generally dull and
lower. The chief weakness WAS IN Lake
Shore, Western Union and Michigan
Central. Lake Shore fell to 53s, West
ern Union to 65I and Michigan Central
to 4GI, these being the lowest quotations
of the day. Among the coal roads,
Delaware. Lsckawana and Western de-
clined to 1861, New Jersey Central re.
covered TO 81. with the last sales ut S}i

coal roads brings out investment stock
and has an unsettling influence on
the general market. Pacific Mail ad-
vanced Just before the close 10 223 and
closed at that price. The two extremes
of the day were II and 70. There WAS
nothing positively new in regard TO the
