I Washington, April 6.—There has been a great flutter in treasury department circles during the past few days over the new form of debt statement brought out on the 1st inst. by Secretary Manning. The news has gone out in many directions that with the assistance of a special expert Mr. C. W. Jordan, the secretary, has informed himself accurately of the debts and assets of the government, and that he proposes hereafter, once a month, to let the people know the true condition of the government exchequer. Now, there was no necessity for employing a special expert to obtain this information, so that it might be placed in the form in which It is presented in the now debt statement. Mr. McLellan, chief of the bureau or warrants, or any one of a dozen clerks in that bureau could have supplied the information on a few days' notice. The two forms appeared on t.hfl 1st inst. and showed a wide discrepancy between the conclusions reached, respecting the total amount of the public debt, as well as the amount of reduction in the debt during March. The new form adds $97,000,000 of indebtedness, which Mr. Manning's predecessors in office have heretofore ignored, or at least have not recognised as debt, and also figures an increase of about (90,000 in the debt during March, while the old statement, made up in the form adopted put out by his predecessors, shows a reduction of about $488,000 during March. London, April 6.—The frenzy of the Parisians over the Langson disaster was rekindled by an official notice from the war office which admitted that Gen. Negrier and Col. Herbinger, in their hurried retreat from Langson, were compelled to abandon their guns and money chests. Both artillery and treasure fell a prey to the Chinese.

The general slept peacefully, under the influence of the anodynes, until shortly after midnight; when he awoke. Instead of manifesting the strength and courage which were expected trom his long sleep, he showed the same depression of spirits which had marked his interview with Senator Chaffee the afternoon before. This with his family was a new symptom for the strong-willed sufferer to manifest, and it caused them much uneasiness The iron determination of the general is one of the things they havo from the first ooonted upon aa a resistant to the progress of his disease. After the administration of nourishment, however, the general soon fell into a peaceful sleep, from which he was not awakened until this morning, when the beneficial effects of the long rest were manifested in a return of his old spirit. New York, April Stocks sold to-day at tl.e New York stock exchange, as follows: "Well, now," said the doctor cheerfully, as Gen. Grant paused, "we ought to have something to wind up with." "Say that I desire the good will of all, whether heretofore my friends or not," the general said. "Is that enough r "Yes," said Gen. Badeau, "it is a good Easter blessing for the people of this country."CoL Fred Grant smiled his approval, and Dr. Shrady then wrote out this bulletin: Stocks Open Clns'g Stocks Open Clot'a ing Bid ino Bid.

Saturday Gen. Logan spoke to an immense concourse of Republicans at Battery D armory. His address was a merciless arraignment of Harrison's administration, and when he came to the mayor's speech he became greatly excited. Suddenly he paused for a moment, and then raising his voice he shouted: "I denounce Mayor Harrison as uttering anjintamous, villainous falsehood. He if a vile, infamous liar, a poltroon and a coward." For a moment the audience sat speechless. Then thera was a murmur of surprise, followed by round after round of applause. When quiet had been restored Gen. Logan again advanced to tha front of the platform, and said, in stentorian tones: '"I again pronounce Harrison a vile, infamous slauderer, a poltroon and a coward. I repeat this remark that the press may get it correctly, and that I may not be misunderstood." He then took his seat. "Thev that are going forth out of life are not going out of life, but into life. And when they lie in the valley of the shadow oi death, or travel through it, it is not for us to weep and to mourn, but to sing to them from the hither shore, the voice of song and gratulation, siyiug: 'Pass on, hero, thou that hast served well; thy crown waits.' Sing to them until they catch the strain from the other shore, and in the thunders of praise and love rest from their labors with Christ and God." Gen. Grant has just awakened from a short nap and expresses himself as being very comfortable. He wishes it stated that he is very much touched and very grateful for the prayerful sympathy manifested for him by his friends and those who have heretofore not been regarded as such. He says: "I desire the good will of all, whether heretofore friends or not." England Outwits Knaslfin Diplomacy. Londo.v, April 6.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that the officials at the Russian war office are looking blue over certain reports made by a socrct agent who had be m sent to Afghanistan to sound the ameer as to his attitude in the event of war with England. According to these reports, the confidential relations which Russia seemed to have established with the ameer last sumuer have given way, first to a feeling of distrust, and now to a spirit of bitter hostility. This change in the ameer's temper is said to have been caused by the influence and intrigues of Lord DufTerin, viceroy of India, and Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden, the English frontier commissioner. The secret agent reports that Ameer Abdurrahman is ready and able to place as many as 100,000 well equipped soldiers cn the frontier to oppose the Russian advance. The native princes of India continuo to flock to Lord Dufferin at Rawul-Pindi, tendering allegiance and troops with unabated enthusiasm, Mr. Boucher was much affected in thus referring to the dying hours of Gen. Grant. As on the provious occasions when he has touched on this subject, tears filled his eyes and his voice faltered, until, unable to control his feelings, he brought the discourse to a close, pausing a moment to regain his selfpossession before offering the closing prayer. There were abundant evidences osympathetic emotion throughout the audience. The bouse bad remained in darkness all night long, except a dim light which burned in the bedchamber of Col. Grant, immediately above the little library in which the general has spent so much time. Harrison cautiously raised the curtains of the general's bedroom windows soon after daylight, but there was no stir of life in the house, and Dr. Douglas, who had been with the patient all night, sent out word that, as there had been no change in Gen. Grant's fywwHtl/m, there would be no bulletin. A little after 6 o'clock a baker's wagon of astonishing noise-producing powers was driven through the street at a mad gallop, producing an uproar which must have wakened everybody in the block. It produced no symptoms of wakefulness in the Gjant house, however. Two special policemen paced untiringly up and (town before the house all night long. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Giant received pn Saturday a letter of sympathy from Jefferson Davis, which gratified him and touched |him very deeply. If, said Mr. Davis, the prayers and good wishes of all those in the south who honoi and respect Gen. Grant could avail, he would conquer the dread antagonist with whom he is now contending just as triumph antly as he overcame the antagonists with whom bo contended 30 years ago. As dusk drew on the blinds of Gen. Grant's room were pulled down. The promenader? grew few, and the night policemen, who had Just come, busied themselves in telling the few to move on. Dr. Shrady was with Gen. Grant He said that his condition was so much improved that he thought one doctor was enough. »rii. Man. June. July.

Logan was spanking Mayor Harrison was repeating his chargos at the North Side meeting an 1 read ing an affidavit from a member of the legis lature in corroboration. Whiat— Opening. Highest  lowest  Closing  SECRETARY FRELINGHUYSEN DYING. This discrepancy between the two statements will astound some people, and they will suddenly wake up with the suspicion or belief that somewhero or somehow former secretaries have all along been concealing a trifling bit of government indebtedness, as well as deluding the people on the first of each month in the matter of monthly debt reduction. But there is no occasion for astonishment, as the discrepancy is easily explained. There has been no juggling with debt statements, and the new statement contains no information concerning the nation's indebtedness or finances that cannot be found in the old one. The difference between the two in the matter of increase in the public debt is simply due to the fact that in the new statement the sum of the Pacific railroad bonds, principal and interest, is placed among the liabilities of the government, is treated as so much money loaned and lost, and that the fractional silver coin and minor coin in the treasury cash box is relegated to a separate place as assets "unavailable for the reduction of the debt," thus adding so much more to the total debt.

Newark, April 6.—The condition of ex- Secretary Frelinghuysen is somewhat Improved, but his illness is still of so serious a nature as to excite the gravest apprehension*, and no hope of his recovery Is entertained. Dr. O'Gorman thinks the end will be reached in a few days. Mr. Frelinghuysen's illness is said to be due to a complicated disorder of the liver, from which be has been for many years a sufferer. The disease was aggravated by the harassing duties of the closing days of his term of office. Oats—Opening Highest  I-owest  Closing  Pork—Opening. Highest  Lowest  Closing  FIGHTING WITH A WOMAN.

He awoke at 0 o'clock, and, after eating a light breakfast, was dressed and established in his easy chair. The bright sunlight poured in at the windows. It is a cheerful room, with a bright colored carpet and handsome furniture, and flowers were placed here and there on tables and the mantelpiece. At this time the following bulletin was sent out: Gen. Grant has slept peacefully and well all night. His pulse has been uniformly good. There has been during the night no utterance of pain or discomfort. The respiration has bean regular and natural. He awoke quietly at 6, had a cup of coffee, his mouth and throat were attended to, and a soreness which always follows a prolonged sleep relieved. He is now reclining in his easy chair, quiet, but not sleeping. His general condition is the same. An old friend of the family called at 7 o'clock. He had been m the habit of visiting the general every Sunday for two years. H« paw a stranger at the door which Harrison used to open for him. He was told that ht could not see Gen. Grant. He then sent word to Col. Fred, who was sitting with hi? father. The latter sent dowp his love. A Man's Quarrel with Ills Shter-in-lAV Lcafln to Probably Fatal ltesultft. England will Probably Fight. St. Louis, April 6.—Two brothers, named William and*Robert Thorpe, traveling west from Illinois with their families iu wagons, made camp near tho town of Mexico, Mo., and remained there to rest their stock. Both the men visited town and drank a good deal of whisky. William was in a wagon and hi« brother was on horseback. There seems to have been something of a quarrel between the two families, but not of a character serious enough to make them part company in traveling. London, April 6.—Orders have been issued and received in India to continue the preparations for war despite pacific assurance of RuCwia. This action has created a good impression here. The press generally declares that the Russian answer to Earl Granville's is not satisfactory. PETROLEUM. Oil, City, April 6.—Opening. The day before the election he returned to his home in this city to vote, and was in a greatly exhausted condition. The malady made rapid inroads on his system, and on March 11, when he reached hero, he Wat driven to his residence very much prostrated. Ho grew steadily worse, and ail efforts for his relief have been only temporary. Mrs. Frelinghuysen is also seriously ill, and this has bad a depressing effect upon her husband.

London, April 8.—There is still the keenest anxiety concerning the Prince of Wales' reception in Ireland. The zeal of tho loyalists lias never been equalled, but the masses are angry and it would be easy to rouse them to violence. Tho Pamellers, therefore, shrink from the incalculable possibilities ol strong appearances and popular  tions, and they have been obliged to take refuge in vague counsels and neutrality. II the loyalists attempt to carry things with a high hand with a view of misrepresenting tho real foeling of the country, the Parnellen will lie unable to restrain the people, and ugly demonstrations are certain. These two items, the Pacific railroad bonds and interest, amounting to $65,631,204.68, and the fractional silver coins and minor ooins, amounting to $31,508,377.74, make up the (97,180,582.43 discrepancy between the two statements. About 5 o'clock William Thorpe returned to camp quite drunk. His brother's wife offered her services, she says, to help him unhitch his team. He replied in a quarrelsome manner, and she replied in a similar tone. Prom words they resorted to blows. The man grabbed a club and aimed a blow at the woman's head, which she dodged, but received on her shoulder. She then pulled a knife and attacked her assailant. The other Mrs. Thorpe and the children were unable tc separate the combatants, and they fought like fiends until Robert Thorpe arrived. Then the fight was stopped and physicians were sent for. The doctors pronounced both the combatants so seriously hurt that death is liable to ensue before morning. Officers placed both under arrest, but could not move them. Gen. Grant felt very despondent all day yesterday. In conversation with Gen. Badeau be said: Between 10 and 11 o'clock many gentlemen called at the house to make inquiries. Mr. Cyrus W. Field was one of the earliest callers. He laft a large basket of flowers. Senator Jerome B. Chaffee, Gen. Adam Badeau and U. S. Grant, Jr., went into the house, and Jesse Grant went out for a walk. "I know," Gen. Badeau said afterward, "that he does not desire to endure further suffering." "It is useless to bear this agony longer." Whether It is proper to consider the amount of the Pacific railroad bonds a bod debt, upon which the government will never realise anything, and the fractional silvei and minor coin in the treasury cash-box at unavailable assets, is a question that has nc connection with an explanation of discrepancy between these two forms of debt statements. Both the old and new forms will be iasued monthly until July 1st, and after that iato the old form will be discontinued. Lexington, April 0.—The Rowan county refugees who went to Frankfort hare re turned here. The governor refused to send troops while there is any hope of settling the difficulty without them. The party support ing the Republican sheriff declare they cannot return without protection; that th« county attorney is the instigator of the wholt trouble, and that ho hires desperadoes to dc his bidC ling.

Owing to a change in the arrangement! made by the doctors, Dr. Douglas returnee at 7:50, and shortly afterward a bulletin wat sent out: John Kelly a Very Sick Man. *akiK6 POWDER Gun. Badeau said that the general was in such condition that he might die in half an hour or might live a week. The trouble was not with the local disease, but with tlaj constitutional debility produced by the cancer. The general was anxious to die and end it all for he suffered too much to care to live any 1 mger. Another gentleman said that while the general's condition varied for the better or worse, the cancer continued its ravages and was steadily growing worse. Gen. Grant's condition remains unchanged. He has spent a very quiet afternoon. H« has taken his usual amount of food and hat been in a very comfortable state of mind. Atlantic City, April 6.—The past week has been a lonely one for John Kelly, and tUe old chieftain has gained little strength since he caine here. His face is pinched and drawn, and deep lines have furrowed new places in his countenance. Every morning, when* the weather is bright, he wraps a heavy cloak about him and accompanied by Mr. J. H. Mooney, walks feebly up and down in the sunshine on the beach. Mr. and Mrs. Mooney and Mrs. Kelly are thC only persons permitted to go near him, and he is carefully guarded that no wandering politician may intrude upon his privacy. The nervous prostration from which Mr. Kelly is suifering seems to have taken very firm hold, and the family are growing anxious over tho persistent continuance ol the mental malady. If no improvement occurs in bis condition within a week he will be removed to some other health resort. Dr. Shrady went home soon after th* bulletin was sent out. Ex-Senator Chaff.* came out a moment before. He said thai Gen. Grant exhibited signs of greatei strength. He had passed a quiet day, and the prospects were that he would have a good night. Mr. Chaffee had left him reclining in his chair. The change in his condition was not radical, and he thought the strength was only apparent. The discrepancy between the two statements respecting debt reduction during the month of March, amounting to $573,004.16, if simply due to the different view takon oi the amount of the total debt on March 1st and of what constitutes available cash assets and liabilities. The new statement shows an increase in the debt during March of $1,042,- 321.47, and an increase of cash available for its reduction of $953,005.29, a net increase of the debt "lees cash in the treasury" during March of $SS,250.18. The old statement shows a decrease during the month of $476, 181.09 in the debt, and an increase of $7,617.89 in the cash, a net reduction oi $483,747.98. A Fighting Witness lu Contempt. Cincinnati, April 6.—In the case of Patrick Hartnet, who is on trial for the murder of his wife, Elliot Pendleton, Richard Smith, Samuel C. Tatum and other prominent citizens are jurors. John Conners was on the stand under the influence of liquor. He told the jury that Hartnet had tried throe times to kill him, and that his daughter, with the charm of an angel, had saved him by turning the bullets aside. Judge Buchwalter asked witness: People going to church went out of their way to pass by the houso. A crowd gathered on the opposite walk and were dispersed by the police. This was done because the Grants and the neighbors opposite have made complaints to Capt. Gunner. At 10:30 this bulletin was sent out: New Haven, April 6.—The evidence oi another brutal murder was washed up at tht lighthouse, five miles below the city. Fishermen discovered the body of a beautiful woman of medium size, about 35 years oJ age, well dressed, lying on the beach part)} in the water. The coroner and medical examiner wore summoned and tho body wai taken to a morgue. There was nothing about tho woman to show who slKt was except i gold ring, the inside of which was market "E. to M."

Logan, Utah, April 6.—In accordance with tho published notice from the presidency of the church, the ge neral annual conference of the Mormon church convened at the tabernacle here instead of at Salt Lake, which is the customary place. Neither of the throe first presidents was present. Apostle Richards presided, assisted by four other apostles. A number of leading bishops and prominent elders l'rom Utah, Idaho and Colorado were present. There is a feeling of confidence that the present opposition will ultimately result for tho good of the church.
