three others who had followed him from

near the landing, where the man had
been stopped by some colored men, resi-
dents of this city, and after a short par
ley, concluded to take him to the jail as
as suspicious character. On yesterday
morning we visited the prisoner in com
pany with Sheriff BITES. The prisoner
gave his name as Simon Simonds. and

the plantation of kvariSte BOrdelon, in
Avoyeiies parish, whquce he departed

he has had no regular place Of resi-
Ience' lie worked at times, he said, in
the city and then in the country. He

of parties living at the points he claimed
to have stayed. He claimed to have
worked awhile within the last few
nlenths at John C. Green's, in Ascension
OF Assumption, and ut Achille Bou-
ceres, in St. Charles He is a creole

NEW YORK, Feb. "a. Last advices tiom
Washington point to ii prompt and radical &C
ton on the part of The secretary of the treas
ury to put IA stop to the money panic engin-
crred by the enemies Of the new funding
bill.
Gen. Hancock was interviewed to-day in
regard to his intended visit to Washington
during the inauguration. He declined to
talk politics, but said he thought it only prop
err for him to accept the polite and formal in
~vitation given him. He was asked to be a
cnest of the chairman of the committee but
has engaged rooms at Wormley's in order
that he may be free to receive callers without
imposing on others. He has not decided
whether his attendance will be in a military
or civil capacity. 1t is his intention not to
attend the ball in the evening but he will be
present in the senate chamber during the IN
ausural ceremonies.

HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Baker reported
back the fOr;itication bill recommending con-
currence III some of the senate amendments,
and nonconcurrence in others; the report was
agreed to.
At first the republicans tillibustered against
the apportionment bill, but at Conger's sng-
gestion they voted generally against consider
ing it, su,xor.x Feb, 2s,-After much con-
sultation Conger's molten to dispense with
the further call of the roll was defeated.
Williams was excused after approaching the
house for its refusal to pay proper respect to
the memory of Senator Carpenter.
Various propositions were submitted, the
object of the republicans being to discover
what number OF votes could be held Tor a
larger apportionment Of members, and the
|. democrats not wishing TO make any such test
vote binding on the house, all finally agreed
To a roll call to establish the sentiment of the
house.
The conference on the Indian appropria-
ton bill resulted in an agreement. The house
recedes from the proposition to ABOLISH the
board of indian commissioners, and the SEN
ale .ecedes from the amendment providing
for the boards expenses for the next ilscal
wear; the board to be continued without an
appropriation to pay travelling expenses OF
salaries of employees. :,
The WAYS and means committee will hold
a meeting tomorrow to determine the course
to be pursued by the house i'll calling up the
funding bill, which is new on the table.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The house pass
ed the night without transacting any ousi-
ness.
Cox offered to vote for any number from
293 to q, or 80 down.
Conger insisted that the previous question
should be withdrawn.

Excitement on Wall Street.

New YORK, Feb. 25-To-day will be MEM
orable in the history of Wall street. The lull
that followed Sherman's announcement to
purchase bonds was followed by a fall that
bordeIed on a panic. All through the after
noon stocks fell. The excitement was in
tense on Broadway, Wall and New streets.
Small groups OF excited men were gathered
together discussing the situation. The con
flict between the bankers and the govern
ment seemed to be in favor of the for;ner, for
accordingly as the banks received their
checks for bonds that they had sold to the
government, just 50 soon were they deposited
with the sub-treaslrer to retire circulation.
Al 2::3O the situation was decidedly critical.
Every moment all ANNOUNCEMENT that some
house had succumbed, was expected, and
great suspense, anxiety AMI doubt prevailed.
Fortunately, there was not a single failure.
AT any rate thrle was no publication OF one.
In the meantime the market continued to iail
and the minutes to The closing OF the day
were anXiously counted Money was one
per cent, at houses over night. Banks refused
| all loans and were calling in the loans as
rapidly as human industry could. Some OF
| the best men on the street found, for the first
lime, that their personal application for loans
was refused. The ntateSt aud most
concise explanation Cf tle sltuatlon, accord
ing to the Commercial AdrertiAer, was given
~ Geo. Il. Satterlte, the president OF Mining
Exchange, in this wise:
sit is a question in my mind whether the
clique of bankers IS to dictate TO congress
anu the country what is for the best interests
of the country and manipulate the money
market in order to depress tie stock market.
Transactions on the stock exchange during
the last hour oi business was simply enol'
nous, and the widest excitement prevailed
Prices were declining throughout, and the
downward movement SO rapid as to amou'l
almost to the condition of a panic. Inc
decline was checked a few minutes beforethe
close and, iii ONE cases, there was a silgh'
recovery. There was a large business don
ON the stock exchange in the way OF mimi
stocks, and the difference between cash AM
regular ranged from . to ! ! per cent, mostl'
al J to ] per cent.
