(From the Am York, Tribune, Nov. 21.)

Tho recent issues of the Erio stock have produced
graat indignation in the "street," striking as it has done
the foundation of confidence in all the railway property
dealt in at the stock Exchange. The rumours are that
a concerted movement is being made to request an im-
mediate and official statement of the affairs of the com-
pany, and an official register of the number of shares of
stock now in existence, and failing to receive this, an
application will be made to the two boards to remove

the stock from their lists until this reasonable request
is complied with.
These issues of Erie have shaken the confidence of all
holders of railway property, and the Boards owe it to the
public to take this action, which would effectually and
instantly remove the present distrust. The cliques, it is
now said, hold all the stock on the street, and if brokers
would stop operations in it the load would remain with
the parties who issued the stock, and there would be no
market whatever for it until the public men had reliable
information as to its affairs. No stock should be called at
the boards unless registered in the Trust Company, where
all holders could ascertain at once how much was issued
and authorized. And any company making secret sales
should be at once removed from the list. This action,
taken by the boards, would effectually stop all future
issues, and restore the confidence of holders. We learn
that petitions are already in circulation to carry the above
suggestions into effect.

(Front the Wall-street JOurnal, Nov. 21.)

Foreign Exchange is firmer, and rates are fully above
the last steamer's prices. Border State Stocks are gene-
rally lower, and the new issue of Tennessees have de-
clined to 66: consequent on the introduction into the State
Legislature of a proposal for a new issue of three millions
of bonds to all railroads in East Tennessee. Mining
Stocks are very heavy, and the business continues on a
limited scale. Petroleum Stocks maintain their price,
with good demand for the better class.

London, Dec. 2.
We have less business to report in American securities
on the London market than for some time past; United
States 5-20's of 1862 close 741 to and the 1865's 724 to
73. The relative quotations here and in Now York have
more nearly assimilated, the disproportionate rise in Ame-
rica having given way.

Illinois Central Shares at 95! to 961, and Eries at 261 to
27 show no alteration. For both Central and Union Pacific
Bonds there has again been some inquiry, the latter com-
manding slightly higher rates.

MISCELLANEOUS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

It is impossible to prevent influence of family,
and the older the Union grows the more this will
be seen and felt. The members have only to be
numerous, fortunate, with good average intellect,
to acquire a prestige outweighing merit, and giving
those starting in life an undue advantage. The
New York herald says, " A remarkable result of
the present state of affairs is, Exit the Blair
family ; enter the Washburne family,' " though we
are not sure that the latter ever went out into the
cold.

Who can tell where the franchise is going? No
candidate dreamt that he would in England have
to canvass in a workhouse; nor did the Puritan
Fathers imagine that in the old Bay State such a
paragraph as this would appear in the " latest in-
telligence :"--'• A vote was taken in the Massachu-
setts Lunatic Asylum on election day, and resulted
in 42 votes being cast, as follows : U. S. Grant,
14 ; Horatio Seymour, 13 ; Abraham Lincoln, 2 ;
George M'Clellan, 2 ; John C. Fremont, 2 ; Mar-
tin Van Buren, 2 ; John Quincy Adams, 1; Win-
field Scott, 1; Daniel O'Connell, 1; Jas. Buchanan,
1; Emerson, member of Parliament, 1 ; Queen
Victoria, 1; Tippecanoe-and-Tyler-too, 1."
Perhaps the richest silver mines ever discovered
are in the White Pine District, in the State of
Nevada, a region of which we recently gave a de-
scription. The accounts, fabulous as they appear,
are still maintained, and are producing some effect
in San Francisco, from which city the following in-
telligence was sent to New York, Nov. 20 :—" Rich
discoveries of silver deposits are daily made in the
White Pine region of Nevada. Notwithstanding
the near approach of Winter, miners are rushing
to that district. The richness of the silver is in-
credible. Many San Francisco capitalists are in-
vesting large sums.
A Woman's Rights Convention has just closed
itt labours in Boston, in the organization of a
Society, called the New England Woman's Suffrage
Association, a memorial to Congress being prepared
demanding tho suffrage for women. Among the
speakers was Senator Wilson, who announced himself
to be in favour of the object, and thatit will be given
when generally demanded. Mr. Garrison recounted
the progress of the anti-slavery agitation, and de-
clared, from his experience as a reformer, that the
Woman's Rights reform was passing through the
regular stages to a sure and speedy triumph.
Two important letters are published in the Ame-
rican papers. One, though old, is from Chief Justice
Chase addressed to the Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of
Georgia,Washington,dated April 27. In it Mr. Chase
enunciates his doctrine that peace and prosperity
to the Republic can come only through universal
suffrage and universal amnesty. The other is from
Butler to the Louisville Courier, wherein he an-
nounces that the South has no firmer friend than
he is and ever has been, which has given general
satisfaction throughout these States, as there is
nothing Southerners so much desire as a warm and
intimate alliance with him they have designated
" Spoons" and misnamed " the Beast !"
The last report from the Feejee Islands is that the
people eat up a missionary and his wife, but pre-
serve the children. The islands are devastated by a
war waged against the settlers, cruel atrocities
being perpetrated. The colonists are driven from
their plantations and their buildings burnt. The
British war steamer Challenger destroyed a native
village, killing 41 savages. King Itakornbau has
paid the first instalment of the debt due to the
United States, amounting to $12,500, to the Ame-
rican Consul at Melbourne.

Attorney-General Evarts has prepared an opi-

nion on the Eight-Hour Law of Congress, through
which the employ4s on public works are, he thinks,
entitled to the same pay for the eight hours as when
they worked ten hours a day. If so his opinion is only
in accordance with common sense, for unless Congress
was taking a " rise" out of the workmen, it could
not have meant its acts to be construed as inter-
preted by some of the public officers, who deducted
twenty per cent. off their wages, and refused even
to let the men work on the old system.
The Springfield Republican informs us that " Mr.
Vice-President Colfax was married, in a very simple
way, at Andover, Ohio, Wednesday, the 18th Nov.,
at 9 o'clock, and started at once with his bride for
Washington, where they arrived the next day. The
ceremony was at the house of Miss Wade's mother,
and in the presence only of the members of the two
families and a few very ilitimate friends, and with-
out the assistance of groomsmen or bridesmaids•
The Washington Star gives us these particulars of
Mrs. Colfax :—" She is about 30 years of age (just
32), of medium size, good figure, dark hair, brown
eyes, and has a pleasing face, indicating goodness
and intelligence. All who know her speak of her
amiability and quiet good sense, as qualifying her
admirably to preside at the house of the Vice-
President elect.' "

The intelligence by cable relates to the Indian
war. By mail, as we last week reported, General
Sheridan bad taken the field in person, with Gene-
rals Pennas, Car, and Custer, against the Western
Indians, 7,000 strong, near the Canadian river.
Sheridan's command consisted of 2,700 cavalry,
and moved south for the Arkansas, with fourteen
days' provisions and forage, his intention being to
push the campaign vigorously during the winter,
the Indians being unprovided with supplies, and
compelled to defend their villages, over which the
General declared he would march if he had to go all
the way to Texas. A Cheyenne village has been
captured ; Reuter's account says in the Dacot3h
Territory, under the command of Custer ; while the
Times' Philadelphia correspondent states in the In'
dian Territory ; and we are glad to say that " the
correspondent" for once is right, the sender of Reu-
ter's news being altogether out in his geograpq.
The Indians fought a desperate action to save their
villages, losing 150 killed and 60 prisoners, win's,
the troops lost 16 killed and 15. wounded. General
Sherman has published a report which exculpates
the white settlers from the blame of having caused
the war, of which he urges a vigorous prosecution,
recommending the transfer of Indian affairs to the
War Office. He holds to the necessity of forcibly
removing the tribes from the settlements and noes
of travel. Four successful late Indian raids are
reported near Prescott, the capital of Arizona, in
which two men were killed and five wounded.

A telegram from New York, December Ist, all"
nounces that Mr. Oakey Hall, Democrat, has bees
elected Mayor of New York by a large majority
i
The vote was light and the election passed
quietly. Peter B. Sweeney, the manager of TO-
many, was said to be on the inside track for the
office, but if so, he can't run like Hall. Mr. John
Kelly was also nominated of the same parth a°
Republican having a chance, and few Ai:clerical
it being almost essential to be Irish. The Standard's
correspondent thus enumerates the offices held by
Irish :—" Sheriff, registrar, comptroller, city cher:
berlain, corporation counsel, and police comt;
sioner. The president of the Croton Board,
acting mayor and president of aldermen, the Pre3l;

five are Irishmen; all the civil justices are of to

justices. Every clerk of a police court is an Iriasvo
man. Besides these, three of the four corners/ to'
Congressmen, three State Senators, 18 (out Of 1)
