MONEY MATTERs-The market is easy Eastern
exchange is dull at premium. New Orleans sight
at lalt premium. Lou. Journal.
The New York Courier and Enquirer, of Thurs
day, says:
The market exhibits for the first time for twelve
months scarcity of prime paper, such as is &C.
cepable to the banks First class paper is readily
discounted at the brokers at 7s8 per cent-and
loans on call are about the same rates For second
rate paper the terms still higher, ranging from
10 to l6 per cent.
At the New York stock board on Wednesday,
Virginia skies sold at 954 Ohio Life and Trust
Company 49, and between boards 5000; Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad I'd mortgage 55; 30 shares
Northern Bank Kentucky l04t; 20 do. Southern
Bank Ky, lOOA; 20 shares Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad 80; so do Covington and Lexington 80.
The Journal of Commerce says:
The letters by the Baltic have more cheerful
tone than the published accounts Several of the
leading London Bankers write, that, in their opin-
ion, commercial affairs will show an improvement
which will continue throughout the summer and
autumn, in spite of the war. The mail brings out
liberal orders for American securities and the Eng
i5h funds main ain remarkable buoyancy consld-
erng the state of political affairs. We notice that
large orders have been received from the continent,
and particularly from France for various articles OF
foreign and domestic produce; the latter will be
readily filed, but the former cannot be convenient
Iy, owing to the absence of French vessels. Why
the French ship owners are not shrewd enough to
see the Propriety of sending out French ships with
their orders for Cuba molasses when there is dis
eliminating duty in their favor can be accounted
for only the supposon that their range OF vision
is bounded by Martinique and Guadalupe. In
most other countries the Government are far be-
hind the merchants in their financial and CONNER
cia operations, but in France it is otherwise, for
the Emperor has shown more liberalty OF views,
and shrewdness of policy in his financial arrange
men,s. than the whole Chamber of Commerce.

TO THE PUBLIC.

In answer TO the advertisement No. g. OF Joseph NASH
Esq, published yesterday morning desire to state with
out his reference to would be witty illustrations and
unnecessary not to say unjust reflections upon the
in which am engaged and the company in which / am
found all of which consider wholly uncalled for and en-
trely prevalent to the subject matter in controversy
First, That early 1914 the underwriters, rOuata
rg forward and taxed themselves according the
scale of premiums previously published, and from that
time up to the organization Of the Board Of Underwriters
March, 1858, al parties. including Mr. Nash paid the
premiums without objection And that Board Of Under
tax mot imposed BY the Fremen Mr. Nash would have
itappear The following extract from the minutes Of said
Board will fully show:
NASHVILLE March IL, 1855.
ave the undersigned Presidents, Vice President Sec
retares and Agents Of Insurance Companies in Nashville
fer the purpose OF cuvang more harmonious feeling,

On the 2sd Mach following the Constitution for the
government of said Beard, reported by Committee
Of which Mr.. HISb member, and which alter deber
aon adopted and article 18th of which read as fol
| lsws
"Each Company represented in this Association shall
when fire the city pay as follows; The HOm
Companies ten dollars and the Agencies i've dollars 70
each and every fire when the apparatus required to
| used"
This presume settles the question as to the origin
this tax and the manner in which it was imposed.
Now in the second place would say that the money thu
collected together with the appropriations made by th
City Authorities, is not expended, Mr. Nash unjusil
ntimates for the individual benefit Of Fremen but that
is absolutely required and is expended for the purpose
defayng the necessary snd unavoidable expenses Of III
Department such as fepenshDg and keeping the apps
raius in order.
And the third place would again say that the rsasC
OF Mr. Nash to recognise and this Premium as all othe
Underwriters in the city had done, and willing
continue TO de- the that induced the Fire Assoc
lion to take the action that had in regard to it,
From the foregoing it will be that the Fremen on
seek place Mr. Nash upon equality with all other Unde
writers in the city whether foreign otherwise and thu
their action has been influenced in manner by Ii
promptngs OF the devil, he ntlmates by d.
| sire TO Disseminate in favor of Others

'COnsign their unborn souls to hell,
And damn them from their Mothers womb"

Now, we call upon all in whom reason is not
dead, in whom humanity is not extinct, to exam
inc this matter rigdy, and see whether we are not
treadng upon dangerous ground. Why all this fear
of foreign Influences" this dread of Catholic
domination" 1t is not possible to tell how many
foreigners are landing upon the immense Pacific and
Atlantic coasts Of our country; but we will suppose
Tor the sake Of the argument, that five thousand
rive each day. Now, first, what are the religious
phases Of this mighty ocean of humanity pouring
upon US from the eastern continent At least three
of the five thousand added to our population are
Proestants, or lree.thinkers both deadly enemies
to the Church of Rome. Here then, We have the
evidence that every influx Of men, women and child
rem operates to lessen the comparative numerical
strength of the Catholics. If Catholicism Is gain
ing in the Union, 1t is gaining by its intrinsic efforts,
or its abstract merits. With these we have moth
ing to do If Catholics labor more zealously to
propagate their creed than Protestlnts, it is the
fault of the latter. If Catholicism cannot be COM
batted by reason and revelation, it should triumph
in the land. We have always understood that
Professionalism desired no legal advantages over its
ancient enemy-that it relies entirely upon reason,
and invites above everything free discussion Gifts
principles-that its champions have sought at ali
Ii Les and under all circumstances, to meet the most
learned expositors of the doctrines of the hierarchy
of Rome. Taking this view of the question, we
all Protestant ministers against attempting to
accomplish by force that which they NAV believe
impossible by argument Instead of carrying the
ends at which they aim, they will only arouse an
opposition such as they have never yet experienced
every Catholic will consider himself bound to ad-
here more closely than before to the creed of his
fathers and, if necessary to lay down his life in its
Defense more than this, thousands who are either
opposed to Catholicity or entirely Indifferent in re-
gard to religion, will imagine themselves called upon
TO enlist under the banner Of the cross.
