respects. The market was more active at in
tervals, with an advance in rates Of interest.
Borrowers ON call were supplied at2% to 6 per
cent, with the bulk Of the business at 30b4 per

the surplus reserve OF banks this week had
an unfavorable influence on the Stock Ex-

a stronger instead Of weaker position to aid
resumption.
The foreign exchanges were firmer and ad.

Government bonds were lower early In the
week, especially for 1868. but the market was
firmer In late dealings. Railroad bonds were
actively traded In and the course Of prices

THE GREENBACKER's QUANDARY.
waiting for Resumption ana watching
the Cha ances How He VIII PROFIT
by Its Failure

WASHINGTON, Dec The Greenbackers
intend holding another conference next week
to agree on some plan for future action. They
admit being in a slight quandary IT is hard
for them to determine what course to pursue.
lf resumption Is q success, they are forced to
admit that the greenback factor In the cOul-
try's politics will dwindls to a very fine point
or disappear altogether.
II it is not successful, which all GrecnbaCk-
ers predict not at the same time wholly be-
levDg their predictions however, they know
that their theories will be popularized and
the party strengthened greatly. While wait
ing for resumption to succeed or fall the
greenbacker does not know really what to
do He wants to keep his party before the
country, but there being no chance for in
fation legislation this session he does not
know how tog go about 1t, The only financial
Legislation that can be agitated by the party
appears to be the war on national banks.
This war has already been commenced
somewhat feebly and will not, It Is predicted
by members OF Congress, amount to anything
more potent than f great deal Of talk.
From the present outlook things therefore
have rather a blue appearance for the Green
hackers even taking into consideration the
thirteen or fourteen men with whom the party
claim it will hold the balance Of power in the
next House. Unless some new plan can be
hit upon to bring their ideas prominently be-
fore the people, the Greenhackers must walt
for resumption to be put INTO operation, and
if successful be content to see their ranks re-
duced to n eorporaTs guard, or if it Is u fail
ure, prepare to contest the politics of this
country, as a leading GreenbaCker said last
evening.

WASHINGTON, Dee. The appearance of q

The files Of the State Department rejecting
upon tho conduct Of Col. Don Platt when he
Legation at Paris created some excite
ment in newspaper and political cir
ces. 1t Is composed chiefly Of letters
from the late Hon. j. q. Mason, Minister to
France under the administration Of Franklin
Pierce, to Hon William L. Marcy, then
Of certain discreditable acts, such rs making
liberal extracts from the archives Of the lega-
tion, attempting to take record from the lega-
ton, drawing upon government bankers for q
quarters salary after he had resigned, de-
parting from Paris without the knowledge Of
the Minister upon passport which was ir-
regular and unregistered and also with having
left in the night time without having paid his
debts, thereby throwing discredit on Ameri-
can officials. He declares him unworthy OF
belief, and asks, that If his resignation has
not already been accepted, that he be dis
missed from Office.
The Capitnt Of tomorrow will contain por-
tions Of this correspondence, with a long
letter from Piatt In his vindication He bit
terly denOunces Grant and Murtagh for allow
ing the correspondence to be taken from the Of
fetal files, and pleads youth and verdancy In
extenuation of some OF his shortcomings

was well and strong and in his right mind,
and contends that the accusatOry correspond
encs was instigated by his private secretary,
J. b. Wilbur, when Mr.. Mason was paralytiG
and suffering from softening OF the brain.
The whole correspondence occupies over a
page Of the Capital and is exceedingly spicy
and callStic.

THE WAR AFGHANISTAN.
shere ANS Tardy Rep,y-He Desires Peace
and Amity with England-The
War Practically Ended.

LONDON, Dec. T. The spirits of the gov
ernmpnt party are raised to the highest pitch
by dispatch from Lord Lytton at Lahore,
giving the terms Of letter received from the
Ameer Of Afghanistan. Although the reply
Is dated the nineteenth Of November, it is be-
ieved here and at Lahore that the Aneer
wrote it after he had received news Of the
capture Of Fort Ali Musid, which took place
on the twenty -second. and that he ante-dated it
i'm order to save himself from the humiliation
which would follow the appearance Of being
terrified by that event. The letter reached
Dakka on the thirtieth and was received at
Lahore yesterday.
The Ameer who writes In very concilia-
tory spirit, says his refusal to receive the
British mission wasn't dictated by any spirit
Of hostility to England or by any desire to
form hostile alliance with Russia against
England, but simply by the fear of the loss
Of his independence He insists upon his
desire to resume friendly relations with Eng
land and invites the Vieeroy to send to him 9
| small and friendly mission with whom ht
may arrange terms Of peace and amity.

and the government will come out of il

Collapse Of the OppOsitiOn to the Premiers
POlicy-The Liberal Party Unable to
Agree-A statement Of Lord BeacOns-
field that Occasions Surprise

LONDON, Dec. I, 1t Is the general opinion
In political circles, that the much threatened
opposition to the policy Of the government
has already practically collapsed, and the
government during the present session Of
Parliament will have nothing to fear The
opposition have again demonstrated their
inability to agree to act under one leadership,
and the government feels confident Of its abil-
ity to fully justify all its acts to the complete
satisfaction OF the country.
Efforts have been made to ascertain the
probability OF dffecting reorganization oi
the various factions OF the Liberal party
under the leadership OF Gladstone, tut the re-
suit is that the dscordant views and wishes
Of factions have been found irreconcilabe
The Irish Home Rulers, In certain contin-
gences, might be able to hold the balance OF
power, but the government has caused them
to understand that II they give no unneces-
sary trouble the session shall not end without
one or two measures Of Irish reform which
they demand being granted.
Exceptionally well informed English poll
ticians said to-day that Beaconsfield's admin
istration had never been so strong in popular
support as ii was now: that Gladstone and
opposition were everywhere discredited and
out of favor.
Some surprise was pcCaSiOnpd by BeaCODs-
field s remarks in the House Of Lords respect
ing the favorable results to England from the
expansion of American commerce and indus
try. In commercial aud manufacturing circles
here and in the North and Northwest Of
England the growth of the manufacturing
Industry and Of the export trade from the
United States have been regarded as inimical
to English interests. BeaCOnsiields 8 statement
that this growth Of industry and enterprise
would produce results favorable to England
is regarded as somewhat enigmatiCal.

Aid society.

NEW YORK, Dec. S-Gen. Chamberlain Of
Maine, from 1866 to 1871 and now president Of

last as United States Commissioner to the
Paris Exposition He found every nation was

astonishingly large number OF schools for
technical education and education in handi-
craft.
The twenty-ffth anniversary of the organ
ization Of the Children's Aid Society was Gel
ebrated last night. Tho society in the
first year Of Its existence expended $4,000.
Last year it expended an income Of S225,000.
1t supported twenty day schools, twelve night
schools, and six lodging houses. 1t sends off
to country homes about four thousand children
each year, and has placed in the West about
festy eight thousand children. In all about
thirty-one thousand children are under the
influence of the society. Every year it en-
ploys eighty-five teachers and thirty or forty
agents connected with the lodging houses and

A Gloomy Financial outlook More Heavy
Failures AnticIpnted.

LONDON, Dec. The financial week
closes in gloom and fear. The fact is,
the country has not recovered from the
shock given by the failure of the
City Of Glasgow Bank The banks and
journals have done all in their power to min
imize the gravity Of various failures which
have followed but the public mind has not
been satisfied with the sanguine views thus
presented. Now comes the suspension Of an
other large and important Scotch establish
ment the Caledonan Bank at Inverness.
1t seems to have been doing q tolerabiy safe
business, but unfortunately it held four
shares Of stock in the City Of Glasgow Bank,
and although the par value Of these was only
E400, the law makes the holder responsible for
all the debts Of the defunct institution, 50 far
MS the holder can possibly pay.
The failures that have occurred since the
collapse Of the City Of Glasgow Bank have
been very numerous and heavy, and now a
fresh crop of them is expected

of the joint stock banks In England
