The old court house was sold to
Hugh McGeehin, on Tuesday last
for Sl35,0O he being the highest bidder.
The building is to be removed in two
weeks from day of sale, and the
money to be paid in thirty days.
Workmen commenced tearing down
the chimneys on Wednesday morn
ing. Mr.. McGeehin proposed moving
the building to his lot on Main Street
next west of the post office. 1t is not
every man that can own a court
house.
Friday morning last smoke was
seen issuing from the roof of the addi
ton of Judge Messengers resi-
dence. The alarm was at once
given, calling together large
crowd of people. A hole was cut in
the roof but no fire was discovered,
nothing but smoke. The SCOT in the
chimney had taken fire, creating con-
siderable smoke which escaped into
the attic through hole in the Chin
ney. No particular damage done, al
though the chimney was very hot.
The evidence taken in the con-
tested election case of Curtin VS.
Yocum, was closed at the office of
Hall & McCauley at midnight last
Tuesday, in blaze of glory, with
Geo. D. Messenger on the stand. In
Elk county Mr.. Curtin's counsel have
utterly failed by their evidence in
chief to establish the claim of their
client, and relied on cross examina-
ton and the rebuttal to make
out case. In this they have also
failed, and we consider Mr.. Yocum' g
chances for retaining his seat, us
amounting to q certainty. Reports
from the other counties in the district
are favorable to Mr., Yocum.

Washington, April 4.-The subscrlp-
tions to-day to the four per cent. bonds
amount to S59, ,502.750. The Secretary
of the Treasury will issue a call for the
balance of the 5-20s of 1867 to-day, and
tomorrow call will be issued for the
whole of the 5-20s of 1868. This will
close the whole of the series of 500
bonds. The two calls amount to the
sum of $59, 9,565, 700. The aggregate
calls, including these, since Jan. /
amount to S849, ,565, 700, making an an
nual saving of interest of 1891 ,sl4.
No futher subscriptions will be re-
ceived or the four per cent. bonds, ex-
cept for the $40 certificates, until fur
ther notice.
The following was issued at a late
hour this evening:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT..
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
Washington, d. c., April 4, 10.
Subscriptions to the four per cent.
consols having been received to the
full amount of the five.twenty bonds
outstanding, the circular of this de-
partment of Jan. l, 1879, inviting such
subscriptions, is rescinded.
The $40 refunding certificates will be
sold, rs heretofore, under the circulars
of the dates of March IL and 26.
The four per cent. consOls will here
after be sold for the redemption of ten
forty bonds of the act of March 8,
1864, upon terms to be hereafter pre-
scribed.
JOHN SHERMAN, Secretary.
The Bank of Commerce yesterday
subscribed by telegraph for $4,000
600 of the four per cent. Government
loan. 1t was at first rumored that the
subscription was made for syndicate,
comprising Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
Winslow, Lanier & Co., Seligman &
Co., Morton, Bliss & Co., and the Bank
of Commerce, but subsequently it was
ascertained that the proposal had been
made on the responsibility ofthe Bank
of Commerce alone. The terms are
the same as laid down in Mr.. Sher-
mans circular of January last, viz /:
the bank is to receive one-quarter of
one per cent. with an additional one
tenth of one per cent. in case the bid
exceed $40, ,0O0, 900. This will give the
Bank of Commerce profit of more
than 100000. 1t is said that the
firms above named are interested to q
greater or less extent in the proposal
of the bank, but there are no means of
ascertaining whether they are or not.
This subscription will wipe out the re-
mainder of the '67sand '6Ss, and enable
the Treasury, at later date, to begin
to fund the 10-4Os.
The telegraphic proposal of the Bank
of Commerce was made early in the
day, but later number of influential
capitalists met at the Continental
Bank, and just after P. M. agreed to
propose for $3O,OOO,O 900 of the fours.
Their offer was telegraphed at once,
but the answer from the department
was that no further subscriptions would
be received at present. Mr.. John
Sherman, announced, in an interview
a few days ago, that he would make a
stop in the issue of fours as soon as he
had succeeded in wiping out the '67s
and 6ss;and wait for better terms before
he commenced the elimination of the
lO.4Os. Besides the $40, 600, 900 of the
Bank of Commerce, proposals for
about 100000 were accepted at the
Treasury.
