Chicago, 30. is not us assur- The financial situation The difftr-ctic- e a yesterday. ing iu public confidence can be traced lu the action of the Union National Uitnk which hag closed its doors and has gone into voluntary liquidation; TUis ceurse of the bank named, has been for some d iys past, anticipated by many of the leading bankers of this city. Their tmtiaipution has arisen from the uncertain and Taciljiating course pursued by i he management of tue L'uion National, bet e seems to be quite a geueral impression that Chiciigoe businessmen and the wmt generally, would have been nived much needless excitement and in some instances loan, if the course now adopted by the Union National bad been catered into a week ugo. At the bank, the officers and clerks have been t busy making arrangements to settle with the depositors. Mr. Colbuugh says that they paid out some $400,000 and if they had kept on paying would have drawn out every dollar tliey f funds available. As it is, they expect 9 be able, in 5JO or 40 days, to pay ell alt their depositors and leave the capital of the bank and surplus unimpaired. from Nothing new is reported, the Cook County National, lid affairs seems to be going on as usual. The fol-- , lowing notice is posted upon its window?: "Depositors will not draw against checks and drafts on the same day on which they are deposited, but wait until the following day, when they have been collected." The National Brink ef Commerce is proceeding on the even tenor of its way, although a pretty large demand was made for currency. Its president re ports that the bank will not be in the least atfected by the puspension of the Union National. A number of currency deposits were made during the day, giving practical evidenco that faith is entertained in its soundness. In reference to the Manufacturers' National it is stated, by the president,' that since the 18th instant $1,500,000 nave been paid out, leaving $076,000 in ourrency on hand, and other assets 511,283,600. The Second National is not ready yet to make a statement. The probability is that the Third National will resume daring the week. Nothing more than the usual business v. as being transacted at other banks. From conversations with loading bankers we are ltd to believe the situation will not be sensibly affected by the permanent suspension of the Union National. A considerable amount of currency his been received by the various (press companies, and more is announce! as on the way here. All of the Hanks went through the clearing house yesterday. New York. SO. A careful review of the situation on Wall street to.day warrants the assertion that we are recovering from the late "lorm, and that tho worst trouble is over. The transactions of the day wero limited, but there was no break to confidence, and (be closing quotations show a reoovery from the low figures which ruled in the morning. Brokers wtre very anxious about contracts, ;nd a general inquiry at 3 o'clock showed that all the contracts of the day were in good shape. At the opening of tho Stock Exchange jhere was a large attendance of numbers, and the galleries were crowded with ladies. President Chapman raited the board to order in a brit' spee?h, in uie course of which he said, -- All 1 ask h that you help each other, and so conduct business at to allow the Exchange t.j carry on its work." At the eonclu-fcio- n he sat dowu amid deafening cheers, sod business begau. There was no feverish excitement, and the brokers were comparatively quiet in their bids. The chairman of the Clearing House conference committee announced lust no new t:atures hadoccuned, and that all brought before the committee had bca satisfactorily settled. The announcement was greeted with loud cheers, and the closing of the Hoard was inarked by an increased feeling of eonfi-ionce. I'resijent Chapman ccnsiders re of the Exchaugo hag Men very bencacial, and the excitement it about ended. The following letter was written to-da- y y, yes-tcrdu- 1 to-da- y, to-da- y y con-fact- s suggest to the Secretary of the Treasury the following plans for relief in this extraordinary emergency: 1st That by immediately issued currency to bankers, on satisfactory evidence that gold had been placed under special deposit in the Dank of England, their correspondents in London would be entitled to credit as in purchasing commercial bills of exchange; 2d That the President of the United States, and the Secretary of the Treasury, is respectfully requested to order the payment of the outstanding United States bDis, due January leif 1871." While the Government is desirous of doing all in its power to relieve the present unsettled condition of business affairs, as has already been announced, it is constrained in all its acts by the laws which it is sworn to support, and its members cunnot go beyond the authority which Congnsshas conferred upon tbeni. Your first resolution presents difficulties which cannot be overcome. It is now supposed you desire to exchange coin in England for United States notes in New York at par. If your proposition is for Government to purchase gold in England, to be paid for in United States notes at the current market rate iu New York, it would involve the Government in the business of importing and speculating in gold, since the Treasury has no use for such a combination, and your object is to induce the Treasury Department to loan, as national banks, upon the pledged deposit in London, of gold. It is asking the Secretary to loan lbs money of the United Stale upon collateral security, for which there is no authority in law. If the Secretary can loan notes on the pledge of coin, he can ioan them on the pledge of other property in his discretion, as he has recently been requested to do, which would be extraordinary powers, as well as dangerous business to engage in, which, in my judgment, de ters him froua undertaking it. The ob jections to your first resolution are so conclusive that it is necessary for me to refer to any practical difficulties which would arise if an attempt would be made to comply with your request. Your second resolution calls for the payment at once of the loan of 1858, or the bonds commonly, called the 5's of '74. Upon thorough examination I am of the opinion that Congress has not conferred on the Secretary power to comply with this request on that particular, and in this opinion the law officers of Government coincide. From these circumstances you will perceive that while I Lave great respect for you, gentlemen, I am compelled, in my views of the law and of my duty, to respectfully decline to adopt the measures which your resolutions propose. I Lave the honor to be yours, etc., Wm. A. IllQHARDSOX, Secretary of the V. 8. Treasury. y a revolving belt in Early Crainpton Bro's drug mills, Jeffersou street, caught the clothes of Wm.
