At a cabinet meeting, to day, there was quits a protracted discussion on financial subjects. Secretary Sherman stated tbattbe silver in tbe treasury wasconstsntly increasing, and that it was extremely ditllcuit to circulate it, owing to the convenience of silver certificates, which are invariably preferred to coin. An Instance, as to how the Government is being embarrassed by silver certificates, was given, which was to the effect that a person desiring to transport gold from SSan Francisco tc New York would apply to the assistant treasurer at the former city for a stated amount of silver dollars in exchange for a like amount of gold, and upon receiving silver would demand Kilver certificates therefor, and by mailing the certificates to New York would avoid the Cost of transporting coin. On this account the secretary of the treasury thought that tbe silver certificates were a great hindrance to the free circulation of silver coin. Tbe revenues of the Government were mentioned as being very gratifying. There was a communication from General Pope regarding the alleged proposed Invasion of the Indian Territory brought to the attention ot tbe cabinet, tn which Instruction were asked upon tbe question of interference by troops in case there should be an attempt made to invade the Territory, it was decided that the troops could hot act independently, but must await a request from the department of the Interior before proceeding to make any arrests. The question was asked in the cominuuicatlon,"If arrests are made what shall be done with the pi isoners?" it was concluded that if arrests become too numerous to 6e governed by inarsha a tbe fact should at once be reported to the array headquarters. It anpears from the communication that permits have been issued to persons to go into the Territory witb herds. Ueneral Pope states that this liberty is abused. When herders get iuto the Territory t hey build scaffolding to protect themselves from tbe weather while herding, and oil lines tbe scaffolding is repeatedly im- ? roved, until at l ist it becomes a settlement, t is understood that the permits already issued for this purpose will be revoked, and the practice discontinued. THE WANTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Commissioner Ub Due, In a letter to Representative LeFevre, says tbe wants of the agricultural department are many and urgent. A suitable building is needed for the accommodation of employes, for storage and tbe bandling of ßeeds, and for tbe continuous exhibition of tbe agricultural produce of this great natlou. The commissioner urgently recommends the addition of divisions of forestry, meterology, and a veterinary division, bum miog up the needs in a single phase, the com. misstoner says 'the department needs an OD portnntty."

I)e Leroeps explained the features of his canal project. He said It was not contemplated that it should be under foreign control, nor nnder any circumstances intenere with the interests of the United States. He had only looked at the work with the eyes ot an engineer. He wanted most of the stock taken In tblscountry. that w uld be a guiantee that it would would not be controlled by foreign influences. The president said he was glad Count Da Lesse p had called to see him sod that he did not intend to nave political objects enter into his proposed work. He thougut that it would be of the greatest Interest to the American continent if the caoal could be built. STANDARD DOLLARS TO BE EXCHANGED FOR TRADE DOLLARS. Washington, March 8. Tlie House committee on coinage, weights and measures has agreed to report favoraoly Mr. Kurt's bill, to Irovlde for the exchange of trade dollars for egal-tender silver dollars. A proviso was added Lb at the secretary of the treasury shall cause to be ei. hanged at tbe treasury and at all sub-treasuries of the United Htates legaltender Biiver dollars for trade dollars at par, and shall rec in the said trade dollars into legal tender dollars, as now provided by law, and shall stop the further coinage of trade dollars, provided that the amount so redeemed and eolned into legal-tender dollars shall not interfere with tbe minimum now authorized by the existing law. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT REGARDING AN INTER-OCEANIC CANAL. The following message was received by the 8enate to-day: To the senate : I transmit herewith the report of the secretflrv nf BtatA nH imnanvlnirnflnAri in ro. Spouse to a resolution adopted by the Senate, on the 11th of February laut, requesting copies or ail eorresponaence oetween wis uovernmeat and any lo reign government since February, lhfc'J, respect it g a ship canal across tbe isthmus betwen North America and South America, together witb copies of any project of treaties respecting the same, which tbe department of state may have proposed or submitted since that to any foreign power, or its diplomatic representative in further compliance with tbe resolution of the Senate,! deem it proper to state briefly my opinion as to tbe policy of the United Htates with respect to the construction of an Inter-oceanlc canal by any route across tbe American isthmus. The policy ot tbii country Is a canal under American control. The United States can not consent to surrender this control to any European power, or to any combination oi European . power, if tbe existing treaties between the United States and other nations, or it the rights Of Sovereignty or property of other nations, stand in the way of this policy, a contingency wblcn is nut appreneuueu, suuauie steps cuumu be r taken by Just and liberal negotiations to promote and establish .American policy ou this subject, consistently with the rights of nations to be effected oy it. The capital Invested by the corporations or Citizen ot other countries in such an enterprise mutt, "in a great degree," look for protection to one or more of tue great powers of the world. No foreign power can intervene for such protection without adopting measnres on this, continent xvhuiti the United Hrates wou'd deem wholly lnadmlssable. If , me provecii"u oi in. uuium oii n n itiidm 4 upon, the United Htates roust exercise such control as will enable tbls conn try to protect Its national interests and roalatain the rights of those whose private capital Is embarked In the work. An tnter-ooeanle canal across the American

Isthmus will essentially change the geogrsphlcal relations between tbe Atlantic and Pacific coasts or the United States, and between tbe United States and the rest of the world. It will be the great ocean thorough tare between our Atlantic and our Paclfio shores, end virtually a part ot the coast line of tbe United States. Our merely commercial interest in it Is greater than that of all other countries, while its relations to our power and prosperity as a nation, to our means of defense, our unitlty, peace and safety, are matters of permanent consideration to tbe people of tbe United States. No other great power would, under similar circumstances, fall to assert its rightful control over a work so closely and vitally affecting its interest and welfare. Wlihout urging further grounds of my opinion, I repeat, in conclusion, that it 1-4 the right and duty of the United States to assert and maintain such supervision and authority over any lnter-ocean'c canal across the isthmus that connects North and South America as will protect our national interests. This, I am quite sure, will be found, not only compatible with, but a promotion of, the wiliest and most permanent advantage to commerce and civilisation. (Signed) Rutherford B. llAVKS. Executive Mansion, March 8, 18H0.

A LIVELY TIME AT 'FRISCO. Concentration of Troop on the Pacific Slope , Trouble Brewing. San Francisco, March 8. The Call publishes Ihe result of inquiries regarding the recent military movements, from whicn It appears tbatall the arms of tne second regiment of the national guards have been removed frbin the various companyarmorles and deposited in the old city hall, or central police station, wbere a guard of lieutenant and ten-men is kept. Over them companies,!! and C of tbe First regiment.have beeu concentrateujat.tbe armory of tbe latter company, and the ai ins of company G of the Second regiment, have been p aced in their charge. An officer's guard Is now mounted nightly at the armory. The third regiment is under arms. The armory of the First regiment is closely guaided, and no one allowed to enter. The arms of the three calvary companies have been removed from their armory, to what locality is unknown, but probably to the old city camp, regulations established, and tbe grand rounds visit tbe various posts nightly. The arms of tbe second regiment have been removed from thearmoies and guards ate detailed every night to watch over other company property. The Third regiment has been concentrated at tbe Olympic Club building, unci those companies of the First not accommodated at the armory of company C are at regimental quarters, at the corner of Howard and New Montgomery streets. General McDowell, commanding the division of the Pacific, was teltgraphed yesterday from Washlng'on to bring all tbe available troops in bis divi-ioh to Sau Francisco, and the companies, amounting in all to 6(u, are already en route with more to follow, probably ln-0 altogether. It Is impossible to discover by whose orders these movement are made, as the officers refuse to give any information, but it is conjectured tbe movements are under the direction of General McDowell, and due to representations made to tbe Washington authorities by Colonel Bee, vice consul in China, regarding the supposed dauger in which the Chinese stand, it Is understood the present precautions will be maintained until a settlement of the existing agitation Is bad, at least until tbe question of the coostitu ionallty ot tbe law forbidding corporations to employ Chinese has been df elded by tbe United Slates courts, and the question of the condemnation of Chinatown is settled. The Second regiment dispersed, with a view to tbe removal of their arms, with indignation, and many members assert it in an insult to tbe raiment, whose loyalty to tbe State and to thecause of law and order Is unquestionable. The reason assigned by the officers for the act is. tbattbe arms of the regiment being scattered arouud at a number of company armories, are liable to seizure, In event of unexpected movement by the disorderly classes, and their removal to the old City Hall is merely precautionary. Tbe worklugraen are considerably excited over these movements, a cd many assort the authorities are trying to force a quarrel : other say the movement is designed to bluff the board of bealth in the matter of the condemnation of Chinatown, while other hold the whole thins due to the tinfonnded fears of tbe authorities. A WARNING TO TH0K WHO EMPLOY JOHNS Placards are being posted in prominent places about the city warning employers of Chinese to desist from that practice, and vngnely hinting at the terrible consequences in the event of refusal . A pointed reference is also made to the condition o( the unemployed. They are 6lgned by the Council ot Thirteen. Company I, of the First Regular Cavalry, and a portion of Company G, of the Eighth Infantry, arrived tbis morning from Camp Halleck,Nev.Kand proceeded to Presidio.
