the Irish OF any intelligence begin to discov-
err the hypocrisy. In the Republican rank.
they see natGralixsd citizens as VOL as ma
tives acknowledged according to THAR merits,
not only in words, as is the custom with the
Democracy. but in faith and VIC nil know
that facts are stubborn things-they cannot
be denied. We therefore expect that the
foreign-bor citizens who have any sense
and self-rsspect will join in November next
in mass the Republican ranks at the polls,
and swell the number of votes for Lincoln
snd Hamlin and Curtis. The Republican
party once in power will give evidence that
it's platform 10 no humbng, but an honest
expression of Republican faith.

Curtis:
SAN JosE, Sept. 81, 1860.
J.B. HOWELL & Co. Dear Sirs / receive
the Valley Wbig regularly, and it is very
welcome messenger. discover you have
lost none Of your zeal in the glorious cause
OF Repuhlicanism. | hope to see you carry
Iowa by 10000 majority. The Republicans
have shown their usual good sense in deter
mining to send Col. Curtis again to Congress.
He 10 the man for that place, and we feel it
so especially in California. We want bis
Railroad bill passed, and be can do it better
than any other man you can put in bis place.
| find that the people 10 California have
much more confidence in the ability Of Col
Curtis to do something for them in the way
Of Railroad than they have in their own
representatives. A great portion of the pso-
pie here have passed over his proposed route
and they kno~ il is practicable, and they
very much desire to have his bill become q
law.
Ths people are wide awake here on the
subject of Railroad to the Pacific, and they
begin TO look with distrust on any man who
"shufiiss," as somo of their representatives
have, on that question. Give us Col. Cur
tis's road and we are all right. Vanderbilt,
she great shark OF the Pacific, may row bis
own boat then.
The Republicans are sanguine here that
they will carry California for Lincoln. The
Douglas and Breckenridge parties are very
hostile and bitter, and, judging from their
accounts OF each other, have come to the
conclusion that they are very corrupt.
Yours, truly,
A. j. H0UGHTCN.

Effects ON the money Market.


The ssH.styled conservative journals OF
New York have been for weeks past striving
most strenuously to get up panic to scare
Northern men from the support Of Lincoln.
They have said i. would cause civil commo.
ton, lead to dissolution of the Union, d.
minish the value OF property, and render
stocks Of oil kinds worthless. OF course,
a. the election OF Lincoln is now pretty gen.
orally conceded as more than probable and
near at hand, il is time that some OF these
results were indicated in business circles.
Bv reference to the money articles of the
New York papers We may learn the effects Of
the near prospect Of Linooln's election upon
the money market. The money article Of
the New York Herald of the 10th opens with
some remarks on the Government loan OF
ten millions, then on the market. Hear the
financial, not the political, side Of the Her
aid:
Had the bids been called for three weeks
ago, il 10 likely that the whole loan could
not have been placed, as, at that time, money
was WUEtu 30 mhCu tnat ~ Whs bu VNJ1Ce ~
people to give par for FIVE per cent stock
Money has grown easier Of late, however,
and il il probable that the whole ten millions
will be taken at from par 10 l0l.
Now il the Governments was about to smash
up and 70 TO "Davy Jonss' locker" all to-
gether or in small fragments, its notes would
hardly sell above par, as the notes Of our
Government did last Monday.
Again, tho same paper says:
Money continues quite easy. Dealers in
paper assert that 6 per cent is still an excep-
tional rate but we hear Of several names, on
very short bills, going at that figure, and 81
al is now the generally recognized rate for
long paper Of the highest grade.
The Boehoos can't fool the money lenders
OF New York with their Jsremisds over the
ruinous prospects Of Linooln's election
Stocks 90 up and money grows easier as the
day of bis election approaches.

The executioner could not help rcmarking
that it was amazing for a man like himself,
who had borne the cruel torture Of his hand
being burned without groan, should now cry
out for little burn on his arm.
The answer was peculiar.
"'IiS not the pain" he said (which makes
inc complain, but stand on my rights this
hot coal was not named in my sentence"
When the hand was burnt off at the wrist,
the exccutioncr led him to the spot where he
was to be impaled. The spike WAS run into
his body with twelve blows Of d wooden mai
let, the spike was then driven into the ground
on the highest point near the institution
There lie remained four hours and half dy-
ing, and almost necessarily repeating verses
from the Koran, only int rrupting them to ask
for something to drink. 4 mIIzzin at last
took pity upon him. and gave Lin some water.
Solcyman drank it, and expired.
The body remained there about montS>,
and the birds Of prey perfectly accomplished
the remainder of the sentence.
The skeleton Of this poor wretch was re.
moved to France at the same time as the body
Of his victim, and is placed in the Jardin du
Roi, in the first hall Of anatomy, on the len on
entering; it is that Of man Cf about five feet
two the bores Of the wrist are burnt, and the
traces of fire still remain.
The spike in passing through the loinS, had
separated two Of the spinal vertcbre. They
are replaced by two wooden ones, which 50
well initiate the real, that it requires great at.
tention to distinguish them.
