Quotations for fancy stocks remain without any

been appointed to report the matter. It strikes
that the agitation Of this eubject just at this
time. is not at all in accordance with the usual
Judgment and tact exhibited in the management Of
Re affairs Of this company by the present board Of
directors. Nicaragua Transit was in fair request,
Tut prices were lower. The principal advance to.
day was in State stocks. Indiana Sc were quite
tive. The demand for this security has been caused
by the passage Of the new free banking law In In
diana. We have no doubt all the State securities
in the market will steadily improve in prices
until they all reach the points from which they
fell curing the recent revulsion. At the first
board ebay Indiana SIS advanced per cent; vir-
ginia sc, Il Louisiana 6's, II. The sales Of these
three sto ks amount to $4,000. About $4,000 of
Missouri 6's were sold at yesterday prices. Railroad

five per cent within the past ten days, and there has
been speculation in it. 1t has risen gradually,

A Warning to Democrats.

In view of the proble result in North Caro- lima, the Wilmington Journal uses the follow ing language
 1t is noticeable fact, and we would earnest ly commend it to the attention of those demo- crats who may think, or may have thought, that the order would promote them. and that, through its portals was the direct route to office and preferment that not one former democrat has been elected in North Carolina, but that the former whig know nothings have been Reid, Latham, Shepard, and Stowe, have been thrown into the breach, and, politically speaking, slaugh tered. Paine, Reade, and Puryear are no doubt elected. Don't you see how tis? You demo- crats are put in front ranks to break down the democratic party, without any chance for your selves; but where there is chance, mark the difference! Not one of you is thought off, Don't you see and feel the secret influence that works the wires? Don't you see and feel how you are to be used? To rising young men in the democratic party the appeal is made to come over; see how you are served when you do come over Is it any place for democrats?- We have no doubt that many who make these appeals are perfectly sincere; but just look at the facts-the practical workings of the affair as planned out by the hidden hands that hold the wires. The fact is that it could not we'll be otherwise The case of the four former demo- crats put forward to be defeated, as contrasted with that of the three former whigs who have been elected, is pretty hard one, but it may be useful for instruction. It may teach les sonD
