Mondays Tribune observes in regard to
Saturdays New York Stock Market:
A CLEAN Of comfort flashed over the wires
to-day from Washington, and the Stock
Market had better look at the opening of
business in the morning. Prices were better
for State Stocks, notwithstanding a free
supply OF Missouris and Tennessees, and the
Railway Share List had an improving ten
dency throughout until Rock Island came
up in the order Of calls. In this Stock there
was decided weakness and, somewhat to the
surprise Of the whole Board, the prices fell
nom 48 10 40, under moderate sales. This
sudden and unexpected depression threw a
wet blanket upon the market, and the deal
ings v Which followed we're very much in

Financial AnnIrs.

The rate of Exchange on Boston and New
York advanced yesterday to ~ premium
selling; but the price of Baltimore and Phil
adelphia funds remained unaltered from
Mondays figures. Gold went up with Ex-
change and although some dealers quoted
it at l1<@1%, it was difficult to buy it bet
ter than premium, and there was little de-
sire to dispose of it even at that rate.
In other departments of finance there was
no particular change. Money is still very
close, though none of the Bankers COM
planned of any particular pressure. The
difficulty of obtaining discounts continues,
snd the Paper done from day to day in
Third-street is trihing in amount. In out
side circles there are few lenders, even the
high figures at which they can buy good
Paper seeming to offer little inducement.
New Orleans Funds were still in request
yesterday, but as hardly any one was draw
irg, there was ready demand for Bank
notes at = premium.

ally the Pennsylvania, Virginia and Mary

Another Voice against the Board of SUI
npruisnrS.

EpIroR DEMOCRAT IL live in a retired
place and am hence not posted as well
about the movements of the busy world as l
should like; but my notice has been called
to the action of the Board of Supervisors OF
this county, in regard to the removal OF the
place of voting for Long Bar township from
the Galena House to the Stanfeld Ranch.
A petition was sent 10 that body at their
late sitting to remove it from the Galena
House to the Yuba County House. The pc
tition was signed by respectful number of
the voters of the precinct, if not majority
of them. Their prayer however, was not
granted, and on the representation OF one in
dividunl (Peter Musser, bar-keeper at the
Stanfield Ranch) it was removed to that
place Now, the fact Of the matter is, the
Stanfield Ranch is not in Long Bar township
at all, but in Parks Bar township. The
Yuba County House would have been CEN
tral and convenient to the most of the voters
of the precinct, but as the Board have acted
stupidity about the matter, or designedly,
perhaps, there can be no election held, unless
it is done in the woods, as a small corner of
the Stanfeld Ranch is in Long Bar township
"a pretty place to hold an election, truly.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
election was ordered held at the above named
place TO prevent, if possible, the election of
Douglas boys for township oficers-"a weak
invention of the enemy" They are too
gritty to be fooled by this very foolish ma
neuvre,and will either go to Browns Valley
or Long Bar to vote. Yours,
OUAD

FoRcISG THEIR WAY oUT.-We were pre-
sented, yesterday, with a mushroom weighing
about two pounds, which grew underneath
the brick floor of J. S. Bowman's Cigar
Store, on D street. These fungi frequently
spring up in that locality. and indicate their
presence by forcing up a brick or breaking
it in two. The bricks lie upon sandy soil,
and from this soil the mushrooms spring. The
peculiar adaptation of the ground to that
kind of growth is accounted for by the fact
that livery stable formerly stood upon that
corner.

claration that if a President of the United
States should have the temerity to use force
to prevent the secession of Southern State
or States, from the Union, and no effort from
any order quarter should be put forth to re-
sist the exercise of Federal power, he. the
Hon Roger A., solitary and alone, would be
the Srutu' to plant dagger in bis heart
