The Effect OF the Foreign News en- Ghe
The Commercial says the intelligence
brought BY the Moravisn has comparatively
little effect on the GuotationsiD this market
The decline Of gold during the week has
made a difference in the value of 5:20's,
equal to an advance Of l5s, so there now is
little difference between their value ct Lon
don and New York. The price Of the gold
interest bonds were depressed by the expec-
tation that construction loan would be put
on the market, the semi-official assurances
TO the contrary, notwithstanding The sp-
prehension Of such policy has, in some
quarters, depressing effect on 5;20s. Gold
interest bonds are generally retained
Yesterdays quotations, except 5:2e'a Of
1862, which rose 10 q, and 5s Of 1881, were
q lower. 7:3O's are quiet at the closing
prices.
Gold continues depressed, There is some
inquiry for gold to fill short contracts, but
the premium does not show any consequent
advance, fact which shows weakness Of
the market.

The sherman Organ PerVertIng Ghe

AecOr0.
Senator Sherman's organ in this city,
failing in its attempt to @whitewash" the
record of its chief devotes a column in its
Saturdays issue to glittering generalities
in relation to his prominence" 'infu-
ence" and "unwearied zeal" Finding the
record too stubborn thing to be over
come by the common arts of the pettfog-
ger, gasconade, panegyric and falsehoOd
are resoIted to to uphold the waning for
tunes of one who has ever shown himself
tide-waiter The only tenable point
afforded the Herald by the long oficisl
career of Mr.. Sherman, is his ability in
matters of finance. Whether he has beeh
over-estimated in this regard, we do not
propose to inquire. We are not of those
who would deny to Mr.. Sherman his
need of praise for whatever of good he
may have accomplished, and We are dis
posed to accept his financial reputation,
without stopping to inquire whether it is
merited or not. We do not charge Mr..
Sherman with total depravity." Our OBJ
lection to him lies in this, that he has ever
been slow to accept the lessons of the
hour. He is timid, fsltering, time-serv-
ing-ready to do the right whenever he
shall be convinced beyond the possibility
of doubt that the right is popular. He
is probably not responsible for his dull
ness of perception, nor do we wish to de-
nouncs him therefor; we only demand
that Ohio shall be represented in the
United States Senate by 3 man Of clearer
vision. The Herald seems to regard it as
impossible to successfully deny this prOpo-
sition, for it says:
"If there was any time in his Senatorial
history when he hesitated about taking
steps that seemed to him too far in ad-
vance of the progress of events, it must be
borne in mind that others, the ablest and
wisest men Of the age, hesitated also. The
doubts sometimes expressed by Mr.. sher-
man were expressed by the lamented Lin
coin, and to villify Mr.. Sherman for those
doubts is to attack the memory Of the mar
tyred President.
Mr.. Sherman's fogyism is mere apollo
gizedfor upon the ground that there were
others as fogyish as himself. That is no
defence. The United States Senate is the
highest branch of the legislative depart
ment of the Government, and its members
should be men of distinguished ability and
judgment, able to vote and act for the good
Of humanity at all times, without waiting
tolearn the sentiments expressed at every
township meeting throughout the land.
The Herald is not clear in its statement of
the adoubts' ''e1pressed by the lAmented
Lincoln" nor is there any reason for re-
garding its assertion as other than the
merest dOgmatism. In 1852 Mr.. Sherman
advocated the acceptance Of slaves into
the military service and their return 70
slavery provided their masters we're
