He ha3 been here co-operating with members o* Congress, for the pur? pose of maturing plans for a better dis? tribution of currency in the border States. Senator John B. Gordon will take charge, of tho bill, which will re? commend a combined action of both the national and State authorities in estab? lishing banks on a specie basis. He has received the promised aid of several prominent members from the West. The Senate Committee on Finance held a special meeting to-day, at whioh a^comprorniae financial measure was . agreed apon to be presented to the Se x nute next Monday. In its main features, the bill will fix the amount oi greenback circulation at $382,000,000? thus legal? izing the re-issae of that portion of the 84-1,000,000 legal tender reserve which is outstanding, and making it a part of the permanent circulation. The amount that has been re-issued, and whioh is now outstanding, is something over $26,000,000. The bill will also author? ize free banking on the national bank t ing system, but will contain a require? ment that legal tender notes shall be retired from circulation proportionately as new national bank notes are issued. This latter provision is regarded as a measure of contraction, but the preced? ing authorization for keeping in circu? lation the 826,000,000 of legal tenders that have been re-issued from the re? serve, is considered a substantial victory for the advocates of an increased volume of currency, who, it is understood, will claim in the Senate, that tho principle having been thus admitted as regards a portion of the $14,000,000 reserve, the whole of said reserve should be accord? ingly placed in circulation. Frederiok Douglass has been elected President of the Freedmen's Savings Bank here, which has branches in nearly all the Southern States. Dr. O. B. Par vis, another colored man, has been chosen Vico-Presidcnt. Forty out of the seventy clerks employed uro like? wise colored. The new Board of Ma? nagement appeared before tho House Committee on Banking and Currency, yesterday, and said it was their desire to make the bank an institution exclu? sively for the colored people, and one whioh they would regard as their own. New Orleans, March 21.?Judge Wood sustains tho scaling of the Louisi? ana bonds by the Legislature. This is Federal sanction of partial State repudi? ation. The injunction prayed was dis? missed, with costs, but Judge Wood suggested that the questions were of such importance they might properly bo taken at once to tho Supreme Court of the United States. Raleigii, March 21.?The Daily News' speoial reporter has arrived iu tho neighborhood of Bald Mountain, and reports that tho oitizens confirm the premonitory symptoms of volcanic erup? tions on the mountains. A largo party of scientific udventnrers are en route to I* the mountain. The oitizens in that eeo W tion are intensely excited, and out-of door prayer meetings are beiug held, many believing that Judgment Day is at hand. Washington, March 22.?Judge Dent, brother-in-law of the Presidont, widely known in earlier days in California, and later as a candidate for Govornor of Mississippi, where he was a cotton planter, and in his candidacy opposed by the Administration, and in nil known respects a high-minded aud honorable gentleman, is dead. Judge Dent died in tho Catholio faith. New York, March 21.?Tho market for cotton on the spot has beon decided? ly firmer, with quite a large business for oxport material, and a falling off in the receipts has stimulated the demand both here and at Liverpool, which, how? ever, was in good part speculative. ? During tho early part of the woek prices were advanced ,'uC, with considerable aotivity in Goth spot and contracts. Wednesday, with a revision of official quotations, low middling was advanced jtj0. more, while ordinary aud strict ordinary improved )io. The ohauge was doe to au increased demand for me? dium grades aud rather more liberal re -. - : .'? - j 7 ' i?-?ss?j? oeipts vi lower qualities. The dealings on Wednesday were quite large and' an unusual excitement prevailed, as tbo markets on tbo other Bide were reported unsettled and somewhat exoited, bat the last two days havo changed the tono of the market considerably and holders are now more disposed to realize. The movement was altogether a speculative one, based on a falling off of receipts and a revival of tho 4,000,000 estimate of the orop. Liverpool and Havre at e well supplied, aud have not been baying to any extent, yet in the face of all this, prices , through the manipulations of speculators, wero crowded up. Total sales of tho week were 119,648 bales, of which 101,000 wero on oontraot and 18,644 for immediate delivery, as fol? lows: 12,121 for export, 2,267 for spin? ning, 8,085 for speculation, 2,175 in transit, inoluded were 3,031 to arrive. TV'asluinu ? un, LI?FOh 23.?Iu iu? House, among the bills introduced and referred, was one by Hunter, of Virgi? nia, repealing the law forbidding pay? ment for army snpplies, &o., to persons not known to be opposed to the rebel? lion. The financial question was dia oassed at length in the Senate during the morning honr. New Orleans, March 23.?The Printers' Union to-day pansed a resolu? tion, reducing tho. prioa of composition to Bixty cents per thousand ems. Tbo proprietors will adhere to their resolu? tion, to pay onty fifty cents from and after March 23. Tho indications are that all Union printers will strike to? morrow. A later despatch Bays tho Uaion Printers have all struck. The proprie? tors offer fifty; but the Union demands sixty aents. Indianapolis, ind., March 23.?A fire, whioh destroyed property to the value of nearly 8500,000, originated in Exchange Block, on Pennsylvania street; inoendiarism. New YonK, Maroh 23 ?Tho freight handlers at Long Dook refuse terms; tho Erie Company employed 500 others, who will come to the dook by water. Seventy-five policemen have been de? tailed to protect the mon. It is said there are 83,000,000 worth of freignt now awaiting transportation at Long Dock. The company also suffers heavy loss from inability to receive freight. Ban Francisco, March 23.?Joseph Booth fell nnder the cars at Virginia City, Nevada, to-day, and had both legs out off. A young man who witnessed the accident fainted, and his hair, which was black, turned instantly grey.

Inoendiarism is believed, as the tire first appeared in the eupola. New York, March 23.?Steps have been taken by numerous influential citi? zens of several wards of this city, with a view to clearing their districts of houses of bad repute. Quite a number of houses have been closed in eighth ward and adjacent wards lately, and tho war on vice is becoming popular. Washington, March 23.?In the Se? nate, the Now York Cotton Exchange memorialize agaiuBt inflation and for specie resumption. Several letters urged Congress to say whether it would inflate, contract, or do nothing, saying the presout uncertainty paralyzed the spring business. Tho Committeo on Finance reported a now bill, as a substi? tute for the one pending for a redistri? bution of currency. It provides for free banking, and limits the legal ten? der circulation. It is a compromise measure. Sherman, who reported the bill, said ho gave adhesion to some of its provisions with great reluctance. Ho will explain the points and bearings to? morrow. Morton spoke two hours in favor of inflation; after which there was a short running debate. In tho House, among the bills was one by Yonng, appropriating 810,000 for certain Georgia rivers; by Smith, of Virginia, authorizing tho Washington, Cineinnati and St. Louis Railroad to extend through the District of Colum? bia. The House passed, by more than i a two-thirds majority, a bill reported from the Committee of Ways aud Means, fixing the limit of legal tender notes at 8400,000,000. Amendments by two members of tho committee, to Gx the amount at $346,000,000, the present legal limit, and at 8382,000,000, the amount actually in circulation, were de? feated by majorities considerably over two-thirds. Tho Representatives from the New England States and New York voted, for the most part, against tho bill. Those from Pennsylvania, tho West and South generally for it. Also, presented a bill for the removal of the Kiokapoo and other Indian tribes from tho bor dors of Texaa ana New Mexico to tho Indiau Territory. The case of tho lato Judge Under? wood agaiust McVeigh, from tho Virgi? nia Court of Appoals, having been sub? mitted to this Court on a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, the motion was to-day granted and the case dismissed, because tho writ of error should have been directed to tho Court of Appeals, instead of the Judge of tho Corporation Court of Alexandria. Mr. Justico Clifford dissented. The Court below gave judgment in favor of Mc? Veigh, on a vordict which found that thoro was fraud in tho procurement of the sale and confirmation, under the proceedings in confiscation. In tho caso of Espy, Huidleback & Co. against the First National Bank of Cincinnati, to-day, it was decided in tho Snpremo Court, that a cheok drawu by S. a; M. on tho bank for $26.50 iu favor of H., was raised to 839.20, and tho payer's namo changed to B. H. a; Co., and Of? fered to the latter by a stranger, in pay? ment for bonds and gold purchased by him. E. H. & Co. sent tho check for information to tho bank, whero the teller replied, "It is good," or "It is all [right." Suit being biooght by the bank against E. H. 8c Co., judgment was for the plaintiff, and on error to tLie Court, it ia held, first, that where money is paid on a raised ebeck by mistake, neither party being in fault, tbe general rule is, tbat it may be recovered back as paid without consideration; second, but that if either purty has boun gnilty of negligence or carelessness, by which the other has been injured, the negligent party must bear tbe loss; third, that where a party to whom such oheck is offered sends it to the bank on which it is drawn for information, the law pre? sumes that tho bank has knowledge of the drawer's signature and of the state of his account, and it is responsible for what may be replied on these points; fourth, that unless there Is something in the terms in which information is asked, that points the attention of the bank officer beyond these two matters, has r??p??au i'uui the chuck is good, v. iii be limited to them, and will not extend to the genuineness of the filling of the oheck us to payee or amount; fifth, as to whether the endorsement of tho word "good," with the officer's initials, unde* suoh ciroamstancos, would make tbe bank liable beyond the genuineness of the signature aud the possession of funds to meet the check certified; [?] sixth, where the oheck is certified for a purpose known to tho bank, of giving it credit for negotiation or circulation, to bo nsed as monoy, and it is so passed into the hands of third persons, the bank would be bound; though the case might be otherwise when it was only certified, to give the party presenting it assurance that it was good for his own satisfaction in taking it; seventh, but it is clear that a verbal reply that a check is good, given for the information of the party about to receive it, extends only to matters af which the bank hud know? ledge, or is presumed to have, by the law, unless he is told that more extend? ed information is expected or asked for as to the validity of the check. Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opinion. Iu tho case of Burke against Gregera, from the Supremo Court of Louisiana, in which the question was whether a sale of real estate made in pursuance of an order of the provisional court of Louisiana was operative to pass title after the surrender of the rebel forces iu that district, when tho terms of the order creating the court limited its civil authority in tho State, nuswered in the affirmative?holding that not? withstanding the cessation of actual hostilities, military rule prevailed in the city of New Orleans aud in the State long after that event aud after the sale in controversy. This is conclusive proof that the civil authority w?s not restored when the sale was ordered, and that the provisional court was in the rightful exercise of its authority. Mr. Justice Davis delivered the opinion. Some North Carolina colored people, who are here, say they will have an in? terview with the President on Friday, to secure a change in the Wilmington col? lector of the port. Tho compromise bill in the *Senate re-opens the whole subject, and a vote settling the financial question and giv? ing a safe basis upon which prudent merchants could operate, seems indefi? nitely postponed, so far at the Sonate is concerned. It is hoped the House bill, which pnssed to-day, will be thrust down the Senate's throat, aud choke off its blab. Probabilities?Kentucky and West Virginia very high or rising barometer, low temperature, light North-westerly to North-easterly winds and generally clear or partly cloddy weather. For the Southern States, light North-easterly winds, falling temporaturo, ri&ing ba? rometer, cloudy weather and rain on the Western Gulf coast. For the Middle States and New England, fresh North westerly winds, partly cloudy weather, rising barometer, temperature below freezing and possibly occasional light suow in the latter section. Tho rivers will probably fall at Pittsburg, Memphis aud Vicksbarg, and rise slightly at Lou? isville and Cincinnati. Auousta, Ga., March 23.?The Ex? change passed resolutions favoring Go? vernment aid to tho Texas Pacific Kail road, aud requesting the membors of Congress from Georgia to advocate an appropriation, J. Adgor Smythe, of Charleston, spoke in favor of a line of steamships from Charleston to Liver? pool or Bremen. Resolutions were passed, endorsing tho project and pledg? ing support to tho same. 'l'elegruplilc?Com me re In! ltc]iort?. New York, March 21.?Tho Erie Railway Company endeavored to-day to supply the places of tho strikers at tho freight depots by employing Italians aud Germans, but only with partial suc? cess. A gang of 150 of tbe former were marched early in the morning to Pier 31, and left standing on the side-walk. While arrangements were making to put them to work on tho dock, some of the stritters came along, nud the Italians scattered in all directions. Detach incuts of police wero sent for, and, un? der their protection, 200 Germans, who soon afterwards arrived, went lo work. Tho BtrikerB bang about the company's dock in Jersey City, saying, "twenty conte an hour or no work." The move? ment of freight is at a stand-still there. Freight which accumulated at the New York dook has boeu overhauled, and tbo perishable portion forwarded by Piedmont. Over 1,000 laborers em? ployed on the now railroad tunnel at Bergen Hill struck to-day for au ad vanco from one dollar aud-u-half to ouo dollar and seventy-five cents a day.

The parties nccepting this pro? position can name the ruce to be run. The fastest mile that has ever been re? corded was made by Alarm, a three year-old, with uiuuty pounds up, at Saratoga, July 17, 1S72, iu 1.42J4. The fastest two miles ever made was by True Blue, as a four-year-old, packing 10S pound.-:, at Saratoga, iu 1S73, the timo being 0 32"g. Norfolk has the best three mile record.

A correspondent of the New York World estimates that there wero 1,000, 000 funerals last year in the United States, costing uot less than $100,000, 000. A faithful brother iu a Fairfield (Couu ) church recently prayed for the absent members "who were prostrate on beds ol bickuess and chairs of well nets." Mr. George Reed, an old resident of Charleston, who has been living at Rock Hill since the war, was found dead in the streets of that town on Tuesday last. New Mexicans stand at the door of the Union and knock. They claim that, with a population of 140,000, whioh is larger tbuu many of the territories had at the time of admission as States, they are entitled to join the federation. The | balk of the population is Mexican, aud, for a wonder, the people are not trouble? some but quiet and orderly. The re? cords of the Territorial Legislature are in Spanish, and that is the language principally spoken in the territory. It is our sad duty to register the death of Mr. Atmar Bogers, which oc? curred last Tuesday night. This is the third member of the lato Mr. Crawford's afflicted family that baa passed away within a few weeks. Mr. Rogers leaves a wife and widowed mother, not yet re? covered from the prostrating illness which has taken three and left three of an interesting household. [Newberry Progressive Age.
