CROSS-EXAMINED BT JUDGE-ADVOCATE.
I was somewhat beyond the limits of a drink,
and somewhat " solid " in mind while at Wilkes
house, and cannot be positive whether McMillen
held any conversation with Mary Ann Wilkes
that I ditj not hear.
The Witness was not in a proper condition a
the examination, and the idea prevailed that he
was beyond some drinks and very solid.
The j court adjourned until to-morrow at 10
o'clock.

Special Magistrate's Court.
"Vhecase of the two women sent from the
Mayorjs court went before Justice Conoley im
mediately afterwards. : The Justice decided that
he deemed that the city had no right to prose
cute the acenssed under the circumstances, and
he therefore discharged them. $
The particulars in this case are that Belle Ry
burn, a woman of the town, died leaving real
estate and personal effects, and without an heir.
The two women, Amanda Hooper and Delia Ver
non were living with her when taken sick, and
the woman: having the small-pox was conveyed
to the hospital, where she died, and they left in
possession of her household effects, which were
said to' consist of money and valuables, including
clothing. The day before her death these wo
men start to Raleigh, and a day or two after the
tdwn authorities are informed of the death of
Belle Ry burnj and to prevent any loss by theft
they proceed to take an inventory, when they
find the trunks of the deceased woman broken
and robbed, and the parties left in charge of it
gone to Raleigh. Some ' statements were made
that the aefcused in the above case did it, but it
was not proven. The authorities ' at Raleigh
were telegraphed to arrest them and they were
brought ddwn yesterday by a special officer, and
are now set at liberty.
Since the above was put in type the mayor has
sued out & writ against Amanda Hooper and
Delia jVerijon to answer the ' charges brought
againsfc them, and they are again in custody and
will have a; hearing to-day'at 12 o'clock before
Justice Conoley.
Mayor's Court, Tbursday Before Com
missioner Shackelford.
The first case called upon before his honor to
day tas that of Amanda Hooper and Delia
Joyce; or Delia Vernon, as she is called some
times, who were arrested in Raleigh and brought
down .to the city yesterday, by officer Hughes,
of the" local police. The charges against the
parties were leaving the house of Isabella Ry
brun while in charge of the same, and taking
therefrom her money and jewelry, while the said
Isabella Ryburn was known to be in a dying
condition, and who subsequently died Jhe day
after their- departure for Raleigh.
A number of witnesses were called and testi
fied in the case, and the wearing apparel, from
some half dozen trunks, belonging to the accus
ed, were exposed for , inspection, in order that
witnesses might identify anything that belonged
to deceased. 4 A dress and one or two articles

were"piCKea out, uui even iney were in uouoi.
The unpacking of the trunks and the strewn ca
lico about the rOom looked more like a country
store than anything else at present in mind.
They were sent before Justice Conoley.
More Iron. Two colored youths were next
brought up for retailing iron without a proper
title to the same. They were given a lecture
and discharged.
And so the court adjourned, his honor leading
the way.
, Business Changes is the Cut. Kahnweiler
& Bros, have just given notice of their opening
one of the largest stocks of dry goods ever be
fore offered to the people of the state of North
Carolina. By a glance at their advertisement an
idea jmay be formed of the vast trade in their
line that they are prepared for, and which they
expect.
The next on the list of merchants lately ask
ing he attention of the public through tne
columes of The Herald is M. M. Katz, agent,
who just." removed his stand from the cor
ner of Market and Front to the Commercial Bank
building, I which, after undergoing suitable re
pairs mates one of the neatest stores in the
city. Mr. Katz has shown great energy in put
ting his business before the public, and there is
no question about his old customers and friends
following him to his new stand.' ' If low prices
and strict honesty is an inducement for custom
Mr. Katz1 certainly will get his share.
There are others that are now, and others that
intend, going m this business in a few days, and
if possible it will be a great pleasure to ask the
ear of the public in their behalf in the third
number of The Ssxday Morning Herald.
They all deserve special attention, and will get it
in time. . . i

THE XATIOXAL FINANCES.
Speech by Secretary ITIcCnlloch.
ammmm "i
CtxcntMATi, Oct. 13.
The Gazette publishes a speech made by Hugh
McCuHoch, the secretary of the Treasury, at
Fort Wayne, Indiana oo Wednesday nigh in
which he gives his views one national finances.
He said he was not one of , those who seem to
repudiate coin as a measure of , value, and, to
make a secured paper currency the! standard.
On the contrary, he belonged to that class of per
sons, who, regarding an exclusively metallic cur
rency as an impracticable thing among enter
prising and commercial people, nevertheless look
upon an irredeemable currency as an evil which
circumstances may for a time render a necessity,
but which is never to be sustained as a policy.
By common consent of nations grid and silver
are the only true measures of value. He favor-
i ed a well secured convertible paper currency.
J No other can to any extent, be a proper substi
tute for com. It is not expected; there shall be
a dollar in coin in reserve for every dollar in
specie in circulation: this is not necessary. For
all ordinary home transactions paper currency is
sufficient; but there are Constantly occuring je
riods when the balance between countries, and in
the United States between its sections, must be
settled in coin. These balances are insignificant
in amount in comparison with the transactions
out of which they arise; and when a vicious sys
tem of credit' does not too long postpone settle
ment, they are arranged without disturbing the
movements of coin. Whenever specie is needed
for this purpose, or for any other purpose, the
paper currency of the country should be con
vertible into it, and a circulation not so converti
ble will not be, and ought not to be tolerated by
the people.
The present inconvertible currency of the
United States was a necessity of war, but now
that the war has ceased, and the government j
ought not to be a borrower, this currency should
be brought up to a specie standard, and he saw
no way of doing it but by withdrawing a portion
of it from circulation. He had no faith in a pros
perity which was the effect of a depreciated
currency, nor could he see any safe path to tread
but that which leads to specie payment. The
extreme high prices now prevailing indicate that
the business of the country is in an unhealthy
condition. We have a circulating medium alto
gether larger than is needed for legitimate busi
ness. The excess is used in speculations. The
United States, to-day, ir the best market hi, the
world for foreigners to sell in, and among the
poorest to buy.' The consequence is,! Europe is
selling us more than she buys of us, including
our securities, which ought not to go abroad;
and there is a debt rolling up against us that
must be settled in part at least in coin. The
longer the inflation continues, the more difficult
it will be for us to get back to specie payment,
to which we must return sooner or later. If
congress shall early in the approaching session
authorize the funding of the legal tenders, and
the work of reduction is commenced, and care
fully and prudently carried on, we shall reach it
probably without serious embarrassment to le
gitimate business. If not, we. shall have a brief
period of seductive prosperity, resulting in wide
spread bankruptcy and disaster.
He spoke of the evil tendencies of the present
inflation on the public morals, converting the bu
siness of the country into gambling, and seri
ously diminishing the labor or the country. Men
were apparently getting rich, while morality
languishes, and the productive industry of the
country is being demolished. He was hopeful
that by wise legislation we shall escape financial
collapse, and that the currency may be brought
to a specie standard without those financial trou
bles that have in all countries followed protracted
and expensive wars.

The committee on the consecration of bishops
reported a resolution recommending concurrence
in the acceptance by the house of bishops of Rev.
R. II. Wilmer as bishop of the diocese of Ala
bama. The resolution caused a very warm dis- j
cussion.
Dr. Vinton, of Pennsylvania, said it was a pain
ful duly to him to oppose the consecration of Dr.
Wilmer' to the bishopries: of Alabama, knowing
him as he did, and having partaken of his hospi
talities. He then read certain resolutions which
had been offered by him at the last convention,
and which had been laid on the table, as fol
lows :
Reiolted, That the house of bishops, concurr
ing, this general convention of the Protectant Epis
copal Church in the United Suites or America pro
nounce the action of the bishops of Virginia, Geor
gia and South Carolina, in their consecration of
Richard H. Wilmer, D. D., of the Episcopal 8ee of
Alabama, to be irregular, uncanonical and schis
matical, and that his jurisdiction in the diocese of
Alabama is void and of non effect.
Resolved, That this preamble and resolution be
referred to a Joint committee of this house, with
instructions to consider aad report what further
action,' if any, this Convention1 ehall take to assert
the dignity and , enforce the rights of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church of the United States on the
premises.
He then read the oath required of a bishop,
which requires him to swear obedience to the
church of the United States of America. Shall
there be a bishop acknowledged as a bishop of
the church who has not conformed to the oath
required of him by our cannons 1 Had we not
better wait until the church in Alabama has ex
pressed their willingness to comply with our re
quirements. . Rev. Dr. Clarkson announced that the letter of
Dr. Wilmer, addressed to bishop Hopkins and
others, bearing on this very subject, had been re
ceived. The reading of the letter was called.
Dr. Hare stated that the papers proposed to be
read were a letter from Bishop Wilmer to the
clergy of Alabama ; the order of the command
ant thereupon ; the request of Bishop Wilmer for
an explanation of the action of the commandant
therein ; the reply of the commandant. The let
ter from Bishop Wilmer to tile house of bishops
was not in the envelope.
Dr. Cullings objected to the reading of any
part of the documents in the envelope.
Rev. Dr. Harlen stated that if the telegraph
had done its work with ordinary speed, Bishop
Wilmer had heard of the action of this conven
tion ; and that he had expressed a willingness to
conform to the requirements of the church.
The president, in ruling upon the call for the
reading of the documents received from Bishop
Wilmer, said that as it appeared to be a mutila
ted paper it could not be received, and could not
be read.
Dr. Clarkson then explained that he had stated
that the letter from Biship Wilmer to the house
of bishops had been received with other docu
ments. These papers had been handed to him,
but were subsequently withdrawn. ;
Hon. J. B. Ruggles, of New York, then made
an address, but owing to the confusion at the
door he could not be heard.
The discussion on the Wilmer case continued
until the hour of adjournment.
The convention will not be in session to-morrow,
the day being appropriated to the consecra
tion of the Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, bishop
elect of the diocese of Tennessee, at St. Luke's
church. The sermon on the occasion will be de
livered by Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Oct. 12.
The Episcopal Convention met again this morn
ing, when the case of Bishop Wilmer, of Alaba
ma, was resumed as the order of the day.
Rev. Dr. Kerfoot, of Connecticut, proposed the
following as a substitute for the original resolu
tion : - , .. .

An important case war tried before the United
States District Court, at Memphis, Tennessee, last
week. It was that of Park against Hamilton, and
its history was as follows : In the year 1862, while
the rebel forces still held possession of Memphis,
the defendant, Thos. A. Hamilton, was appointed
by the rebel government an agent to seize cer
tain sugars and cotton, and property of merchants
whom it was believed were purchasing and hold
ing such commodities upon speculation, in view
of the probable surrender . of Memphis to the.
Federal forces, and against the laws of the rebel
Congress, and the declared policy of that gov
ernment, whose officers were instructed to pre
vent the undue accumulation of articles of prime
commercial value at points as seriously threaten
ed as Memphis then was. In obedience to in
structions then given him, Hamilton , seized a
number of hogsheads of sugar, the property of
Dr. A. J. Park valued at $75,000 -and turned
it over to the rebel receiver or quartermaster, or
with other sugars at thai time seized, sent it
south by railroad. . No vouchers were given, but
a memorandum was made at the time of the value
and number of barrels and hogsheads, and in
some cases, we believe, copies of such were fur
nished the owners. Dr. Park;now brings uit
against Mr! Hamilton to recover the value of the
