CHICAGO. Reported Bank Troubles Said to be Without Real Foundation. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The runiors said to be in circulation in New York of trouble with the Fourth National Bank and two other national banks of this city, have very slight foundation in fact. It is true that a small draft of the Fourth National was thrown out in New York yesterday, but more than sufficient funds to meet not only that draft, but any others outstanding, were on the way to New York, and yesterday an additional sum, more than sufficient to cover any possible contingency, was sent to its New York correspondent. So far as reports of trouble with any other banks are concerned, the closest inquiry in the best informed quarters show them to be without foundation. Another Contradiction. Bankers and other business men of this city, have been in receipt to-day of namerous telegrams from New York, stating that reports and rumors were in circulati n, to the effect, that there was an impending financial crisis or panic here. These reports were doubtless set afloat for a purpose as there is not and has not bsen the slightest foundation for them. The suspension Tuesday, of the Cook County National Bank, did not create any excitement.

WALL STREET NOTES. THE NEW DEAL IN PACIFIC MAIL-THE DIRECT CABLE CANNOT CONSOLIDATE-AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT FORBIDS IT-BANK FAILUREOHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILWAY STATEMENT. The fluctuations of the different securities will be found recorded in the financial column. The rumors about Pacific Mail, which depressed the stock on Frl. day, as to an opposition line, and also that their iron steamers-Peking and Tokio-had been sold, were found to be deceitful stock-jobbing stories for the pur pose of enabling the artful originators of them to buy stock. As evidence of this the advance of Pacific Mail of nearly one and one-half per cent above last night's price is sufficient. THE DIRECT CABLE. As it has been asserted that some amalgamation would probably take place between the Anglo-American Cable Company (connected with Western Union Telegraph) and the United States Direct Cable Company, the writer yesterday waited on the manager of the latter company for a statement. Mr. Oliphant aid:-"You" can authoritatively announce that AMALGAMATION IS IMPOSSIBLE. The Anglo-American Company have to pay over onethird of its receipts, less a rebate of £25,000 per an aum to the Newfoundland company, and the French company have to pay a royalty to the Submarine company on all messages transmitted from England to America by its Brest cable. The direct cable, on the contrary, is untrammelled. I will give you an estimate of our company. This is based on the speed of nine words per minute. It supposes that the cable will be in active operation for eighteen hours out of twentyfour during 300 days of each year. It shows the folIowing result on a minimum tariff of thirty cents per word, allowing four cents for land lines:£1,300,000 Capital of Direct Cable Company 157,000 Gross receipts 27,000 Working expenses Net income 130,000 or about ten per cent on our capital. It may be noted, however, that we are now carrying messages for twenty-tive cents per word, and can do so, while the Anglo-American will lose money. Now, as to the talk of consolidation, "buying out, &c. Let me show you the articles of association (producing the paper). You will perceive here that we are organized under an act of Parliament, which expressly stipulates that we shall not consolidate with any company whatsoever. The only way you American financiers can get control of the direct cable is to buy up two-thirds of the shares and then liquidate the company. You must understand all cable companies are the children of cable manufacturers. For instance, the Anglo-American is the result of the Telegraph Construction and Mafntenance Company, as we are of the Messrs. Semens, the rival of the other cable manufacturing company. The HERALD can appreciate the idle rumors of the late monopolists." FAILURE OF A CHICAGO BANK. A despatch was received on Saturday evening of the failure of the Fourth National Bank of Chicago. Mr. R. E. Goodell is President; but as there have been for some time rumors unfavorable to this institution it is said but little excitement was caused by the announcement of suspension. OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD STATEMENT. The following statement was given forth of the above road yesterday. An analysis will well repay the holders of this stock, in view of the violent fluctuations it has lately undergone:4 Months, March 1 to June 30, 1875. Main Line, Total Earnings.

THE FOURTH NATIONAL. The closing of the Fourth National Bank in this city will not surprise those who are are courant in local finances. The bank has been in a weak condition ever since the panic of 1873. It was seriously crippled at that time, when Mr. R. E. GOODELL, a wealthy resident of Springfield, III., came here and took hold of it, with the hope and intention of restoring it to soundness and of building up its business. The times have not been favorable for such an undertaking many of its bills receivable were made for money loaned to land speculators, and are secured by " outside lots," which have shrunken in value, and are of slow sale. Banks doing this kind of business are apt to find themselves short of funds when they are needed. Last January the Fourth National's credit was damaged, and rumors of its instability came near forcing it to close at that time. This was avoided, but the temporary embarrassment proved another obstacle in the way of reviving the businessof the bank. Since then the policy of the bank has been to contract its business with a view to winding up and final retirement. The standing of the bank can be well understood from the fact that its circulating notes have been reduced to $15,000, which will not only be redeemed in full, but leave a surplus for the bank out of the bonds. The deposit account probably does not exceed $150,000. It is usual, of course, whenever a bank fails to announce that the depositors will be paid in full, and it is quite common this proves not to be true but there is certainly good reason to believe that, with an honest liquidation, the Fourth National will be an exception to the rule, and pay off every dollar it owes. Probably a large part of its assets will prove to be bad, but the individual fortunes of many of the stockholders ought to guarantee full payment. Mr. GOODELL has always enjoyed the reputation of honesty and fairness, and we have no P doubt that he will insist upon a full settleh ment of all claims against the bank. The W closing of the bank will have no perceptible h effect on general business. n -Since writing the above we have conversed with two of the officers of the defunct C institution, who inform us that the claims of fi depositors amount to about $157,000, against o. which are offsets enough to reduce the P amount to perhaps $120,000. The available 01 assets of the bank, which can be converted th into money in a short time, will pay off a) the depositors and leave about $220,000 of "slow paper," secured by insolvent real estate, to be divided among the stockholders. st There are only seventeen depositors whose claims exceed $1,000 each, while there are 100 depositors to whom less than $100 each si due. The report that the bank owes City be Treasurer O'HARA anything is untrue, he havta ng checked out all the city account some CI lime ago. Nor is it true that any se county money is in the concern. Sa The Town Collector, MIKE EVANS, kept nu ome of his collections there last winter, but ca e withdrew all the money long ago. It thus se ppears that no creditor of the bank has lost we r will lose anything, unless it be the stockan olders. The story that the bank owed the be hicago & Southern Railroad is not true. At car he time it closed its doors it had no connecha on or dealing with that road, as we are ashe ared by one of the officers of the bank.

S. The Movement of Currency to the Country --- Suspension of the Fourth National Bank. d The Produce Markets Generally Stronger--Provisions Firm. er All Round. Breadstuffs in Good Demand at Better Prioes-Large Shipments of Oats. FINANCIAL. The feature of the business of the week has been the demand from the country for loans-mainly in the shape of rediscounts. Too much of this has been attributed to the number of country merchants the country banks had to carry on account of the small sales of produce, and the consequent alowness of the fall trade. This is an element in the demand for rediscounts, but a more important one is that farmers instead of selling their corn at low rates have adopted the better policy of feeding it to hogs, in order to sell it at a profit 23 pork. To do this they must buy large amounts of stock, and borrow the monty necessary of the country banks. Careful inquiry among their country correspondents by the banks here shows that this is the cause of 2 large part of the country demand for loans. This is an encouraging state of affairs. Provisions are an article of Western export of increasing value and importasce. The local loan market remains otherwise in a condition of greater quiet than usual at this season. The commercial business of the city is in a good condition, and the offerings of commercial paper are of good quality, but they are not, as often remarked, sufficient in amount to keep the funds of the banks in employment. Manufacturing paper is in fair supply. Other classes of paper are in scant supply. Rates of discount are 8G10 per cent to regular customers ; good outside borrowers, with satiafactory collaterals, can get accommodation at 6@8 per cant. On the street, business is light, and good paper is scarce. Rates are 6@18 per cent. d New York exchange is weak at 50c discount between banks for $1,000. The orders from the country for currency were not ci large. $ The clearings were $3,813,595.94 on Saturday, and bi $23,001,854.97 for the week ; for the corresponding week of last year they were $19,779,902.03.

1,046,541 Total shares sold The stock market to-day has been fairly active, although the sales only aggregated 125,500 shares. The advance in Pacific Mail from 34 to 3538, with sales of 39,800 shares, has been the chief feature. The opening price was at 34, from which it quickly advanced to 343, and then, after selling again at 343₈ it remained for some time steady at 3412@ 345, but after the publication of the bank statement (which, as first published, and was not corrected until just before the closing hour reported an increase in reserve of $248,000, instead of a decrease of $623,150), in common with the whole market it shot up to 35³₈, closing at 3514. Western Union was freely sold in the early trading at 757g@761s@7594, but later rallied to 7612, closing at 738g after sales of 14,500 shares. Lake Shore was dealt in to the extent of 41,500 shares at North-Western opened at 391g@3914, but suddenly gave way to 385g on only a small quantity of stock, and for a moment looked quite weak; but its friends rallying to its support, restored it again to 3914 at the close. St. Paul fluctuated only between 344@343 and 337g@341s. Erie was positively stupid, and with total sales of only 5,300 shares persistently refused to partake of the surrounding good feeling. Its fluctuations were from 1714. Ohio and Mississippi was neglected at 15¹₂@ 1514@155. Michigan Central made a further decline to 553, after selling at 56@564. NewYork Central seemed to. be weak in the face of a generally strong market, with sales at 103 to 1025; and Rock Island did not seem to exhibit that buoyancy which might reasonably be expected of it. The sales were' at 1077@ 107%@107&. The operators at the close had not heard of the suspension of the Fourth National Bank of Chicago, or of the failure of the Keystone Iron Works at Pittsburgh; but being purely "local affairs" the announcement would probably have had no effect, yet the continued dropping of this sort of thing 18 not encouraging to a bull speculation, even when other things seemr favorable. The opening, highest, lowest and closing prices of active stocks sold to-day will be found in the subjoined table:

SYNOPSIS OF SUNDAY NIGHT'S DISPATCHES. Secretary Delano called on President Grant on September 22d with a friend, and insisted on his resignation being accepted. In this letter of resignation of the position of Secretary of the Interior he gives as his reasons for desiring to be relieved: 1. His de-ire to retire from public life on account of private business and domestic afflction. 2. That one of his age requires rest.and recuperation. He is satisfied that a thorough and impartial examination into the present condition of the public service connected with each and all the means attached to the Interior Department will show to all candid and fair-minded men that it has never been in a more prosperous or better condition than it now is." President Grant in his reply, dated September 22, states he held Delano's letter of resignation without action, because of the continued persecution" which he believes was unjustly heaped upon Delano by the public press.

EASTERN DISPATCHES. SPECIAL TO THE GOLD HILL DAILY NEWS. DOMESTIC NEWS. The Indians at Red Cloud Agency The Commissioners in . Tight Place Warlike Indians Peor Prespects of n Trenty. CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-A special from the Red Cloud Agency via Fort Laramie, says the council has made no progress during the past week, the delay being caused by the non-appearance of Red Cloud one day and Spotted Tail the next. Finally, at 2 P. M. Saturday, 500 Indians, representing the different tribes of the Sioux Nation, appeared on the ground and formed a circle of a hundred feet in front of the Commissioners in council. The chief, Standing Rock, on horseback, refused to dismount. He said he would not as they feared trouble. This was the first intimation of anything wrong. Shortly it was noticed that the Indians loaded and cocked their rifles and made a circle outside, and entirely surrounded the Commissioners and two companies of cavalry. Little Bad Man, who some days since threatened to kill a Commissioner, and who belongs to the wild northern Indians, was noticed examining his gun, and mounted on a fleet horse, he with several others, kept riding round and in front and outside of the circle of the Commissioners and soldiers, and several Indians were stationed to watch his movements. The Commissioners complained to Young Afraid of his Horses, Chief of the & Ogallallas, that they were afraid of the 8 hostile attitude of the Indians. He removed a large body of wild Indians who had stationed themselves in the rear of the troops, and instead substituted a Inrgo party of mounted friendly Indians. It was a crisis. A single shot fired would have produced an indiscriminate slanghter of every Commissioner and b white present. It is supposed the warI like spirit of the Indians can now be H kept in subjection. More cavalry have & been sent for, and are daily expected. t Major Burke, Indian Agent from Stando ing Rock Agency, protested against the a procrastination of the council, and says o they will leave here for home to-day. d They have delegated Major Burke, their A agent, to make a treaty for them. There will be no council of commissioners on S the 27th, as the Indians will go into a j private council among themselves. Great alarm is felt here and some difficulty is apprehended when the commissioners meet the Indians on Friday next, but appearances indicate that the prospects of making a treaty are gradually decreasing. Bank Huspension-I.yneh Law. CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The Fourth National Bank of this city has suspended payment, being unable to meet the balance of exchange against it this morning. Its liabilities are unknown. The bank has for some time been considered & weak, and the losses will probably not be heavy. Schell. the ravisher and murderer of Miss McLaughlin, of Bellefontaine, was taken from the jail at midnight by a F band of masked men and, in the presb once of about four hundred people, hanged in the yard. They searched the Sheriff, but failing to find the keys & cut the rivets off the cell door where Schell was confined. Taking him from D his cell they placed him upon a box, ad" justed the rope to a limb and called for . a confession. He said that his wife killed Allie McLaughlan and her sister. In that statement he made no further a confession, nor did they give him time, but knocked the box from under him c and Schell was no more. He fell but # two feet and seemed to die easy. He was taken down in thirty-five minutes and carried to the court-house, where Coronor Jones found him this morning. The wildest excitement prevails in the whole country, and business is nearly suspended. At the inquest Schell's wife A said he told her he intended to ravish t and kill Allie, and he used two knives . to create the impression that two perc sons were engaged in it. It is thought " that Schell murdered Mr. Torrence, b whose mysterious disappearance a few # months ago created great excitement. t Nine in One Year.

Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses the fractious Indians were removed, and a large party of mounted friendly Indians stationed near the Commissioners. The Fourth National Bank or Chicago has closed its doors and gone into liquidation. Depositors will lose nothing, as the assets of the bank largely exceed the liabilities. The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered work to be resumed OR the Chicago CustomHouse. The foundation of the structure will be strengthened and some portions of the walls taken down and rebuilt, in accordance with the recommendations of the last commission of architects. the telegraphic columns of the daily press of last Sunday was chronicled a shocking list of murders in the Far West. Tom Fortune, a watchman at Bismarck, was shot and killed by John McMahon, whom Fortune had arrested. Nine miles below Bismarck, in a whisky row, Jack Duffy shot and killed Nick Morgan, a hunter, and wounded in the leg a man named Snow. Dr. S. C. Cheney was basely murdered at Columbus, Kansas, by a desperado, who fired sixteen buckshot into his body. John Wright, herding cattle four miles north of Bismarck, was killed by Indians, and 100 head of stock run off. One dry goods firm in Chicago sold $700,000 worth of dry goods last week. The Chicago papers report that grain is beginning to arrive in that city at the oldfashioned rate, the daily receipts by rail amounting to over a thousand car-loads. The head of an unknown man was found hanging to a tree in the woods near Marshalltown, Iowa, the other day, and on the ground beneath lay the headless trunk. It is supposed to be a case of suicide. The South. Perfect peace is reported to reign in the lately-reported disorderly portion of Mississippi. The people of Richmond, Va., turned out en masse, the other day, to witness the reception of Foley's statute of Stonewall Jackson, presented to Virginia by a couple of Englishmen. Advices from Texas place the number of lives lost by the recent terrible flood at 400. The total loss of property will fall short of $4,000,000. A party of Mexicans, who were engaged in robbing the dead bodies washed out on the plain near Indianola-the scoundrels chopping the fingers, hands nd ears from the men and women to obtain their jewelry-were caught by the Americans, and five of their number killed. Christian's Point was also entirely swept away by the late storm. The United States revenue cutter lying at Valisco capsized, and was carried to sea, having as supposed, been abandoned by the crew. The defalcation of Rhem, late teller of the Planters' Bank of Louisvilie, is $85,000. There is now no doubt that the bank robber recently killed in Kentucky, and supposed to be one of the James boys, was Thompson McDaniels, a brother of the desperado of that name killed some months ago in Lawrence, Kansas, after he had broken jail. The Sheriff of Gentress county. Tenn., has arrested a man answering the description of Cole Younger, the bandit. Washington. A strong influence has been brought to bear upon Attorney-General Pierrepont to induce him to forego the prosecution of young Fisher, who is accused of stealing the papers of the police courts 80 as to protect his rascally friends. But to these appeals Mr. Pierrepont has made answer that the law must take its course that Fisher must be punished notwithstanding the respectability of his family connections. The commander of the military department of Texas telegraphed to the Secretary of War asking if government aid, as in the Alabama overflow, can be extended to the sufferers on the coast of Texas. The Secretary of War replied that the Texas district inundated does not lie within the scope of country included in the loan authorizing aid by the War Department, and can extend no assistance.

vested that Department with Judicial powers to try a question like the present between an officer appointed by the Department and a private citizen injured by such officer. The most the Secretary of State could do would be to remove the officer from office, and then leave the matter to the Courts. The Judge dodged the question as to whether a foreign Consul was still a resident of the United States, but intimated that a person ought not to be barred of his remedy under the statute of limitations unless it appeared that a court had been open to him after the commit-ting of the wrong, and that he had neglected for the term limited by the statute to apply to such court for redress. The demurrer to the surrejoinder was sustained technically, but the Judge said the case would go to trial on its merits on another plea, and then the parties would take advantage of the technical defects on appeal, if desirable. ITEME Judge Harlan will be here this morning, and daily all this week, to hear cases that may be set before him. The motion for injunction in the case of The Farmers' Loan & Trust Company vs. The West-orn Union Railroad Company came up again Saturday before Judge Blodgett, and was con-tinued indefinitely. A settlement has been of-fected, as far as the parties on this side of the Atlantic are concerned, and now only awaits ratification by the officers of the Glasgow Bank and the Court in Scotland. The terms are not yet made public, but it is understood the Chi-ingo, Milwaukee & St. Paul Road buys all, or nearly all, the bonds held by the Glasgow Bank. In the case of the Fourth National Bank, the receiver, C. D. Sherman, on his own petition was directed to sell the disputed accounts, notes, judgments, and office furniture and safe belonging to the bank, ten days' notice of the time and place of sale to be given by publication. DIVORCES. Charles L. Coats filed a bill for divorce Satur-day from Lillie M. Coats, charging her with adultery. Helen A. Hall also filed a bill asking that her husband, Charles F. L. Hall, be compelled to support her. She charges that he has repeatedly beaten her, and that he has even tried to kill her by burning her with kerosene, so that she dare not live with him. He is an employe in the Government Railway Mail service, between here and Milwaukee, and earns $1,150 a year, amply sufficient to support both her and him and their child. CIRCUIT COURT. Catherine L. Quinn began a suit for $6,000 against the Agricultural Insurance Company. A. C. Helmholz commenced a suit by attach-ment against James McAlpine to recover $1,200.
