TALK ON CHANGE.

The weather was propitious for outdoor gather
ings yesterday. The flags of Carondeet street
were only moderately thronged. On the grand
boulevard, Canal, the concourse of people was
large and it might be inferred that large sales of
merchandise were made, but the sequel will be the
greater part Of the multitude was shopping. From
the many paeards handbills and notices generally
exposed, it would be supposed that dry goods
dealers were prepared to give away goods. 1t
cannot be gainsayed but what dry goods have
much to do with the great importatons and the
general trade of the country and possess almost as
much influence as the great staple cotton; and
though the throng of people was large yesterday
on the flags of dry goodsdom the general talk was,
that sales were light, and that silks, delaines,
mantlas, and crinoline in general, though offered
at cost, or at astounding low prices yet the scare
ity of the needfu and the difficulty of borrowing,
makes the low prices at which goods are offered
about as dear and costly as when money could be
borrowed at Gas f3ct per annum. But somehow
or another there does not appear to be (notwith-
standing the great desire to dispose of stocks Of
dry goods any decline or falling of in the price of
cotton goods, say brown and beaehed shirtings
and sheetings, and other goods of which cotton
forms the component part of the material. 1t is
well known that warehouse of cotton goods can
be kept in a perfect state of preservation for
months and years in fact, cotton goods, par
ticuarly lowells twilled goods, brown and bleach
ed goods will not get out of demand; that whims
and caprces Of fashion and fancy cannot affect the
general cotton goods market.
There was general desire on Carondelet street
to await the next arrival from Europe before
operating, or rather attempting to operate in cot
ton, as it is impossible for a large number of
buyers and dealers to move under the present state
of the exchange market, The great cotton market
was yesterday as the day before, dull and slug
gish. hiddling cotton at 9ac., freight /, exchange
at %, must command on wharf in Liverpool I'D. TO
cover It will thus be seen it is tight chance for
even the present low prices in our market, which
are, if the real intrinsic worth of cotton is taken,
fully l40la cents lower than its actual worth. OF
course, our great cotton trade just at this moment
is subject to the disabilities of negotiating ex-
change, and the effects of the pressure in New
York. As regards New York, we ought to have
seeded from its upas effects it were, years ago.
Although there were no important dispatches re-
eeved yesterday from Wall street, the private cor
respondenee was of q real blueish nature. The
great feat, or rather the great prescription of the
NJ. DIS dosed out as it were, fifteen days ago, in
the way of the banks expanding, has proved, as
we predicted, total failure real abortion, not
withstanding it had the approval of the selfconst
tuted Board of Currency.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE or EIRG1NTA.-Wel learn
from the Richmond Wing of the 7th, as had been
previously reported by the electric telegraph that
the Electoral College of Virginia, which assembled
at the Capitol of the State Wednesday last cast
the full vote of that State for Bell and Everett-the
Breckenridge Electors having refused to avail them
selves of the technicates by virtue of which they
had been declared legally chosen. We think every
reader will concur with us when we say that this
very handsome act reflects upon them the highest
honor. Well may the Wing add that if our pub.
lie men had been actuated always by the sense of
honor and the regard for fair play that have con-
troled these gentlemen, the past would have fewer
bitter memories, the future fewer darkened hopesa

More Indian


From the Galveston Civilian of Saturday last
we extract the folowing
A letter written by Mr. J. H. Prince. dated
Weatherford November 30, says that the Indians
murdered the greater part of three families near
Jackboro, on Monday 2Sth They went also to
Mr.. John Browns, northwest of Weatherford if
teen miles, took his horses on the 27th, and when
making off with them, fell in with Mr.. Brown, killed,
scalped and cut off his nose, and lanGed him in
every part of the body. They travelled southwest
few miles and came upon Mrs. Teter's residence,
a short distance to Mr.. Sherman's. Mr.. S. being
absent they took Mrs. Sherman and one child,
leaving two at the house, carried her about mile,
whipped her severely, shot her through the arm,
offered her other heartrendng indignities scalped
her, and left her to die, leaving the child, which
made its way back home. Mrs. Sherman was
found by her friends in few hours, but cannot
survive.
The Indians were dressed like whites, and offered
to shake hands with Mr. Stevens q beeye) in
this county, spoke good English, cursed the whites
and dared them to resent the taking of their horses
They were forced to drop three buffalo robes in
Jack county, that were branded U. s. The writer
thinks these Indians must have been from the u S.
Reserve.
These Indians are reported to have also murder
ed the families of Messrs. Mckinney and Riley and
q Mr.. White, all in Jack county.
The White Man closes an article on the above
murders by an appeal to the citizens of Texas for
aid and material help to exterminate these savage
murderers and depredators on the defenceless
frontier.

YESTERDAY was neither warm nor cold, but it
was deiciously bright and beautiful. Sluggish folks
found comfort in fires and heavy clothing; the
active ones who plunged about outdoors, ON that
cheap and respectable institution "Shanks Mare,'
found the clear sunshine and the sweet fresh at
mosphere as pleasant and invigorating as cham
pagne shower-bath. We wish we could have such
weather all the time.
GREAT BILLIARD MATCH. r. On next Monday
evening at Odd Fellows Hall, match at billiards,
the four ball carom game, one thousand points up,
for $500, is to be played between Mr.. D. NJ Tobin,
Of California, and Mr.. Foley, of Detroit. To Mr..
Tobin we are indebted for tickets Of admission.
POLICEMEN SIGNING BoNDs FOR PROFESSIONAL
THIEF.-Charley Sackett, arrested by the Chiefs
special officers as dangerous and suspicious char
acter-i. e.. a thief-s out on bail, his bond being
signed by the Mayors special officers, Tom Dryden
and Bob Dalton.
A contemporary asks why these officers have been
allowed to sign the bond in this case. We reply,
that the Recorder has no power to elect who shall
or shall not sign bail bond long as he is salts
fed that the signers solvent for the amount of
the bond signed. 1t certainly looks highly mpro-
per for policemen to go bail for man whom they
well know to be a thief but we think we can
throw little light upon this particular case.
As we hear it, Sackett was allowed to run at
large, on the condition of his giving strict ac-
count of his own doings, and snch accounts of
other things within the circle of his particular class
in society, as might be of value and interest to the
detective police; and $50 on.n Poor Sackett
The unhappy thief was between two sets of detec-
tive police he managed with the Chiefs specials
for his liberty, till he found that the Mayors
specials were getting a little too dangerous fol
him. In his distress he withdrew his confidence
from the Chiefs specials, and bestowed it upon the
Mayors specials; whereupon the Chiefs special.
nailed him, and the Mayors specials went his bail
There is never any rivalry OF Jealousy among
the police; oh, no Sackett is, by the common
report of all, of the worst and most dangerous
thieves that ever roamed this city; but being al
artful fellow, he has at times preserved his liberty
| by playing the penitent and acting as pointer
| for the detective police.

MORNING, DECEMBER

Courier and Enquirer, of the 7th instant, shows up
the fallaces Of New York financers, led off by our
quondam clothing merchant of Chartres street, Mr.
George Opdyke, and our late citizen, DIR. Morgan.
Il is hoped their next prescription will remedy the
money ailing:
There is no relief to report from the stringency
in monetary affairs The feeling to-day has been
very gloomy, and the demand for money quite as
heavy as any day since the pressure commenced.
The relief granted by the banks seems to have
been only for the moment, and the measures which
were adopted as guide for space of thirty days
have not been kept in their strict spirit and letter
for ten. The loans of the banks last week showed
large expansion, but the actual loans of Monday
were two millions less than the average of last
week. The very great pressure for money in the
street seems TO indicate that accommodations from
the banks is not freely given sitwas last week,
and we published yesterday a long list of banks
whose loans even last week averaged less than the
the week previous.
Now those banks were parties to the agreement
to expand, and we call upon them to redeem their
pledge. There is but one policy which can save
the banks and preserve them through this trying
ordeal, which is by no means safely passed through
yet, and that policy is expansion. Any attempt to
deviate from this must be fatal safety alone
lies in the policy Of granting to the merchants
every facility possible The Boston banks are re-
ported leaning on our institutions, and it is of
the utmost Importance that they should be sustain
ed, but they should only be aided with the distinct
understanding that they should expand in aid of
the merchants.
The Boston banks have only three and half
millions of coin The New York banks had on
Tuesday last sl854l 900. The New York banks
| increased their loans during one week, say from
| the oath November to the 1st December, seven
| millions of dollars, and within week following,
| say on the 5th, 9Th and 7tf Of December, their
customers and the public were crying for more,
that is, more more! What cormorant, greedy
folks, NewYorkers must be! The simple solution
of the question and position is that the financial
public of New York is cornered and in tight
place, but may be relieved by large remittances of
gold from Europe. In the meantime, with two or
three millions Of gold more in our banks. we shall
experience let up in our market. But while talk
ing about money, specie and New York, we are
tapped on the shoulder: How about cotton selling
at twelve and half cents in March next? Should
not be surprised-no, we shouldn't!
