PFealaanG hayes Interviewed
Special 70 The Cincinnati EHquireF.l
NEW YoRK, Dee. 23l-Your com.
missioner found President Hayes ct
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day (Sun.
day no0n,) and was kindly received.
Ths President expressed himself much
pleased With his visit, and Was charm
cd with the drives about the city dur.
ing the ine weather. He looks some.
what CAreWoFn, and is turning gray
rOpidly, but is as genial as ever. After
wishing the President ell the compli-
ments OF the season, the following con.
veTsAtiOn ensued:
Correspondent-I feel called upon to
say Mr.. President, that perhaps many
of those business men with whom you
consult, not wishing to show any signs
of weakness, do not rightly represent
10 you tn extreme depression in busi.
ness. have seen within q week many
business firms. CAT, Fleischman &
Co., OF New York, tell me they are
doing no business, and A. T. Stewart
Il Co. are making little or no profits,
and cutting down the number of their
employees.
President Hayes-I am aware that
business has become very much de.
pressed during the last sixty days, and
deeply regret that such is the fact.
COrrespondent-There must be some
relief coon, or the country will 20 into
bankruptcy. The people look for some
relief, Mr.. President, In the remonetiza.
tion Of the silver dollar.
President Hayes-I am in favor of
the silver dollar, II 1t 10 an honest del
lar-f 1t is dollar in fact as we'll as
In name.
COrrespondent-The PemOnetization
Of the silver dollar will tend to equal.
iZe and bring II up to gold in value.
When Il was demonetized It was worth
Sl.O3. Subsidiary coin is now worth
ninety.seven cents, and when silver is
quoted at ffty.four pence In London,
Il is in bullion.
President Hayes-That is what I am
trying to arrive at; that is what ! am
weighing in my mind, whether remon.
citation and the use Of the silver dol.
lar Of A2k grains would bring It up TO
gold.
Correspondent-Allow me to say g
word as to the Resumption Act, Mr.,
President. Itis law which suspends
ell business. A law might as well
have been passed suspending all bust
ness I'LL January, 1879.
President Hayes-I think the effects
of the Resumption Act are mostly
passed, and that we are quite near re-
sumption.
The President made some inquiries
Of your commissioner in regard TO the
Enquirer. President Hayes was at
tended, at q short distance, by q red
faced orderly with black mustache,
who looked like "JoDgee." After ex-
pressing his thanks TO the President,
your commissioner withdrew.

BURNED--Loss ABOUT $4,000.
This morning between 8 and 4 o'clock
an alarm Of fire was sounded, in this city
caused by bright light appearing in the
as 1t was supposed the south western
portion of the city. f7l
The fire department responded 10 the
alarm, and some Of them proceeded as
far as Browntown when they turned
around and came back. Upon inquiry this
morning, the cause Of the bright light was
ascertained to be the burning of barn
OF Thomas Lyman, being near the "Folly
Woods" The barn was said to be the
finest one in the county with the single
exception Of Reuben Satterthwaite's and
at the time OF the burning contained all
the crops, stock, utensils, &c.
Fire was'not discovered until It was too
late to save anything, and consequently
everything was destroyed, including
twenty head Of cows, six horses, seventy
tons ofhay. one thousand bushels of corn,
four hundred bushels of wheat.
Besides large amount of straw, farm
ing utensils, and every thing that was
stored in the building. AS to the origin
Of the fire it is not definitely known, but
1t is supposed to have been set on fire by
tramps. The loss will amount TO about
$40. 600.
