The Senator Question.

There is every reason to believe that the b.
olitionists of this State will move heaven and
earth to elect Simon Cameron to the United
States Senate in the place of David WiImot,
whose term of Office expires. This is as it should
be, aad reflects great credit on the party in which
Simon is pre-ominently representative man.
Services such as his should not be overlooked
or forgotten, and we rejoice that, in a party not
very famous for its virtues, gratitude is still
found. Who SO fit to be the Senator of that
party as Simon Cameron? We know of no one:
although 1t must be confessed that they have
many men in their ranks who are not without
the virtues for which Simon is SO justly famous
NO other man, however, has rendered the party
the signal service of getting elected to the Sem
ate against clear majority on joint ballot. nor
has any one gone out of office with colors Ay
ing in the same style that Smon's did when he
left the War Department. What if the oppo-
sition do charge him with bribery and corrup-
tion, and insist that he is reeking with the oc-
cumulated political dirt of quarter of a CELL
fury? The thing is preposterous Let him be
elected by all means. We announce ourself for
him, and give him this editorial notice gratis.

SUNDAY, August %, 1868.
The ease and abundance so long noted in the
loan market have continued through the past
week. in the face of very large speculations, at.
tended with heavy fluctuations. II can scarcely be
too often repeated that the principal cause of
speculation and the main support of the market at
the present high figures is the fact that money
seeking short and safe investment can find en-
ployment in nothing else than loans on stocks.
Hence more money seeks Wall street than ever
BEFORE part Of it being thrown out of its usual
ployment in business or the purchase of trade
paper, and part again loaned out for whatever
interest it will bring, in anticipation Of time
when purchases for investment can be made more
advantageously. No doubt this use Of money
helps to postpone the very thing for which its
owners are anxious; but still they look with con-
fdence to the operation of larger causes in the
future revival of general business. II remains 90
be seen whether these causes will affect the stock
market so strongly in the direction of lower prices
as is expected in many quarters by experienced
men; and IL is important to take into account the
difficulties that may postpone a resumption
of specie payments after the close of the
war, and also the probable effect OF the
creation Of the new national banks. Over
sixty Of these banks have already organized.
and will be followed by others; and, like all
banks they will be obliged to discount and to
lend money in order to live. Their influence on
prices il not vet o matter Of certainty; but IL
seems likely at present that they will at least tend
to prevent any sudden change in our general af-
fairs, and by helping to make the transition TO q
permanent state Of finance more gradual than IL
could be without them, stave off some OF the de-
rangements Of too sudden change. Should their
working produce this effect, their influence in this
respect may be no less useful than in furnishing
permanent holders for large amount Of federal
stocks. No doubt can be entertained that 1t IL
most desirable that the bank note circulation Of
the country should be all equal and all good; and
II these banks contribute to this end in addition
providing for large amounts OF government debt,
and smoothing the way out OF the present disor.
dered times, they will have done a good work.
Still their influence, as already stated, Is matter
for conjecture The point just now Is that, for the
present, financial affairs look as II they would ex.
perience no violent sudden alteration.
