Talk ON CHANGE.

II another dull and inactive day was yesterday on
Gafondelet street. The habitues aud freouepters
OF thatstreet's renown will have to Yetrace and as.
sembie on Camp street. The chief talk was in re-
sard TO the sequestratIon or eonfiscation. Some
i agents OF Northern citizens are already MAX
ing inquiries as to what course to pursue Ali we
we can say 49, for parties acting as agents to ap-
pear before the authorities and render their ac-
counts.@ We are asked about the fine block of
stores on Magazine street, chiefly occupied by dry.
goods dealers, situated between Common and Ora
vIer streets This valuable property belongs to
| Mr. Jacob L. Florance, a resident of Philadelphia
for over twenty years. His agents, or the agents
OF the' property, reside on Commercial Place. and
can give all information regarding that and other
property therefore, we are not ambitious of being
| asked hourlyabout this and that property owned
North Col. Denton, of Poughkeepsie, MY, owns
real estatein this city. His agents reside on Union
street He left here nearly tw enty-iye years ago,
Many migratory citizens are returning daily.
Whether they come merely to save their property
and assets, and leave US again, we cannot say We
want To see and hear of them coming forward and
subscribing to the Southern cause. The Volunteer
Relief Committee are3in want of funds; so is the
committee for the relief Of the sick and wounded
in Virginia. There was some talk of former
cotton factor, who has been residing for years
in New York, having returned with his family to
resume his citizenship. He had large number of
shares of Gas Light Company stock transferred in
May last, but recently it has been transferred back
again, the company declining to pay the dividend
declared on account Of noncitizenship. There will
be- many similar cases springRg up. They are
talked OF freely audit is even talked of that the
oath of allegiance will be used to cover simulated
citizenship, We are willing to test the sincerity of
many Of these quondam citizens by submitting TO
them the policy of sending their checks for at least
one thousand dollars each to the several charita-
bic associations; though if the sequestraton act
reaches them, which will do we are fearful thew

Talking Of the act Of eonfseation brings up the
question in regard to property owned and held bv
females, particularly married women. Is A woman
citizen in the legal sense Of the word? The fol.
lowing inquiry has been handed us: ,.t.

tratlon consider the property within the Confeder
ate States that is owned by females residing in The
Northern or Federal States-those females taking
no part in the existing contest?
= There may be distinction between a femme
copeft and femme sole though both may be re.
garded ssnon- combatants, they will and talk
now and then. BuEto cut d long argument short,
the act, in our vew, win apply to females as well
az males, considering all as enemies The act OF
the Northern States has already been applied to
minors property in Philadelphia, both males and
females. iany jnrst or lawyer can answer the
qnestion.of our correspondent, we Should be glad
TO have him speak out, a female can be an. enemy
as well as the masculine gender. In fact, half Of
the crusade against the South has had its origin
among females and tea parties.
In our talk yesterday, in alluding to our friends
at the corner of Camp and Grayier streets, the
types were too generous they read s25, 600 in.
