WEDNESDAY, July It's P. N.
There was a slight increase to-day in the de-
mand for call loans from the stock brokers' but the
money market is otherwise unaltered. The foreign
exchange market closed dull for the Pcrsia's mail
at 1867 107 for sterling, and from $685. $50
for francs, the quotations being in both cases for
first class bankers bills.
Stocks took another upward turn to-day, &C.
companied by large transactions in almost
every department of the list. The advance
arises entirely from the increased confidence
in the ability of the federal government
to subdue the Southern rebels. The market opened
at a slight improvement on yesterday afternoons

close of the first board, and became perfectly RAM

Nor So.-The papers are reporting that
Mr.. Lincoln informed Mr.. Harris of Md,
that there was room in his State (Md.) for
$4,000 graves, provided $4,000 Maryland
men opposed the passage Of Northern
troops to the Federal Capital. Mr.. Lincoln
made no such Caligula-like threat: he is a
kind-hearted man, and it is not on record
that he desires to write the history of his
Administration in the blood of any portion
Of his fellow citizens. What he did say
is this: In response to Harris, who said thai
an attempt to send any more troops through
Mar, Ind would lead to sanguinary battle
Mr.. Lincoln answered: My God, sir, wha
am ! to do? had better go out and hang
myself on the first tree come to than t.
give up the power of the Federal Govern
ment in this way! ! don't want to g
through your town, or near it, If can hell
it; but we must have the troops here I,
relieve ourselves, or we should die like rat
in trap" This sounds like the blunt
ness Of plain western man and is un
d0ubtedly correct report.

Honor.
The Iowa Reporter, one of the best Re
publican papers in the state, is most decid-
eddy down on the disgusting toadyism that
marks those journals which see nothing but
purity and perfection in the administration
Of Lincoln. We intended to copy portion
Of the Reporters article, but it has been
u,islaid and We arc compelled to forego the
pleasure. We rccollect to have lost, about
agar since, a daily exchange with prom
inent democratic journal because we stated
it as our opinion that Mr.. Douglas, highly
AS we esteemed him, was not absolutely es-
sential to Democratic progress or the saliva
ton Of the country. We survived The cut
off and retained our opinion; and now there
is nothing which gives us greater pleasure
than to sec protested party journals con-
denim that nauseating fashion of initiating
public men by attributing to them the vir-
tues Of Washington, the firmness of Jack
son and the logic Of Madison. We do
not object to Inscriptions Of ability to lead.
ing men on both sides, but observation has
taught us that saint hood and politics very
rarely run together. The doctrine that
Kings can do no wrong, will not do for those
who have proper appreciation Of Ameri-
can freedom.

The Brodhcad Reporter informs US that
the citizens Of Warren, Illinois, We pre-
sumo, lately 'hung a resident Of that to'on
for expressing sympathy Nth the South :"
We cannot believe this item to be true !;
but, if true, it is Of no consequence in the
discussion Of the act, whether the victim
was for or against the government. If he
merely rccited his opinion that justice is
with the South in this struggle, and was
hung by the neck till dead for that express
sion, thc-partieipants in the act are guilty
ofwilful and deliberate murder, and should
be punished for it to the full extent Of the
law. Freedom Of thought and the liberty
of its expression, are constitutional rights
which are vuuchsafed to every man and
therefore being inherent, cannot be taken
away or impaired by the power of State,
much less by mob or rabble Of men.
There is no evidence before us that the
deceased was aught else than law-abiding
citizen, and that he would not faithfully have
served his country had he been drafted in
the appointed way. There is no evidence
that he has contributed a farthing in aid Of
the southern rebels, or assisted them by his
counsels. Had he done this, he would have
been amcnable to the laws and if convicted,
would have been executed by legal process,
for the crime Of high treason. In the alb
scnce then, Of these facts Of treason, how
terrible the import of that line, 'hung for
expressing sympathy with the South" In
the name of God, what madness has seized
upon the people of that town that they
should thus forget justice, forget law and
order! What fanaticism has seized upon
tho press that it has not rcbuked the law
lessness Of this act -.... .
No men can 60 beyond the conductors Of
this paper in contemning living traitors
We would spurn from our hearthstoncs and
our Office, the presence of the man who in
sentiment even would take issue with his
countrv. and were we theofiiccrs Of justice,
We would execute the penalty oftrcason upon
any man convicted Of committing the overt
act. Yet, while all our sympathes and
sentiments are arrayed against the friends
Of secession, we shall never fail to protest
against all unwarrantable interference with
their constitutional rights by the irrespon-
sible fanaticism of crazy mobs. Let us be
patriots, not partisans.
We hope for the crc,!it Of the great state
Of Illinois, and the reputation Of the North.

hESEFIloN OF JUDGE DOUGLAS.
The distinguished Senator arrived by tho
st. Louis, Alton & Chicago r. Y. last night
at $40. He was received by committe of
citizens irrespective of party who had been
appointed for that purpose, and who had
met him at Joliet. Nearly 10000 persons
had assembled at the depot when the train
arrived, to greet him, and he was accom-
panied by this immense throng cf men,
women and children from the cars to Ma
tional Hall, which was Immediately filed
in every corner. The Post says that the
building never was so completely filled as
then. Here he was welcomed in speech
replete with thrilling eloquence and patriot
ism, by Thos. B. Bryan, Esq the stage
being filled with the representative men of
all parties. The Little Giant" responded
in half hour speech in which he disclaim-

We want to call special attention to the
Advertisement Of this hard working and
successful Saddler and Harness Dealer
Five years ago, Mr.. Koss was doing bust
ness in small room and employing not
more than one hand his stock was light
and his sales were necessarily quite limited
by close application to business and a
polite attention to his customers he has
pushed his fortune into one of the largest
Harness and Findings establishments west
of Milwaukee. Those who have no occa-
sion to buy collars, saddles, &C., &c, have
but little idea of the amount or the elegance
OF his stock. The Germans, Of whom Mr..
koss is creditable type, make but little
noise or dsplay-they keep steadily at
work, live economically, deal fairly and in
almost every instance they succeed. In
McGrcgor they are among our most valuable
citizens.

has fallen. 1t has been favorable for the
