AMERICAN STOCKS IN GERMANY.-A corre-
spondent of the Tribune writing from Frank
fort-on-the-M Main, Oct. 25th, says:
American stocks continue firm and in de-
mand. The last statement of Secretary McCul-
loch has much increased the confidence in our
stocks which, owing to our political troubles,
had frightened capitalists tor the past two
weeks from buying. Mr., McCulloch is regard
ed as being one of the greatest financiers liv-
ing, and that he has one of the largest and most
difficult budgets to manage. 1t would take
considerable to impair confidence among Ger
man capitalists, while McCulloch is at the head
of our Treasury Department. Stocks have
gone up to 70 rs, but the higher news of gold
from New York put them down to 73 1-S. Cou-
pons are in demand at pa 1-2 per dollar.
1t is a surprising fact that American Nation
al stocks are about the only ones, perhaps in the
world, quoted above par Some of the Euro
pean Government funds which pay per cent.
interest in Frankfort London and Amsterdam,
only bring from, SO to 90, while United States
stocks, which cost the purchasers here only 70
1-2 pay nearly equal to Sper cent one the in
veStment.
This shows how much more advantageous in
vestments in American stocks are than in any
other. There is another important fact to be
taken into consideration, and thati that Amer
leans are less affected by political troubles in
Europe than those of the European Govern
ments. The bankers assume that this, even
more than anything else, tends to give great
est confidence in our securities.

GENERAL GRANTS ORDERs.-The Boston

officers from suits in civil courts, and also the
assertion that he has revoked General Order
No. "A, directing the military to arrest citizens
guilty of crimes when the civil authorities re-
fuse to do so. The fact about the matter is that
Gen Grant himself has declared that both these
orders are nullified by the Presidents peace
proclamations. The effect of these proclama-
tons is thus to leave General Sheridan power

the Henderson IN. C.) Pioneer proposes the fol-
lowing remedy:
There exists proper and legal course to be
pursued without a resort to violence or a reyo-
luton to resist Illegal oppression If the Legis-
latiire of the State, or their constituents, COM
posed of a majority of the States at large, per-
sistently refuse to take steps to legalize and
place the State in harmony with the general
government by which an influx of emigration
and capital may have access and security for
safe Investments within her borders, the alter
native will be for the loyal of the State to
appeal to Congress for redress of grievances
under which they are at present laboring. and
without which the loyalists of the State must
be driven, impoverished, from within its hor-
ders, or remain, and through oppression be
ground to powder.
The Legislature meets at an early day. and
the eyes of the loyal people of this section will
be turned upon the the .ction of that body,
and If they refuse within a reasonable time to
ratiiy che proposed amendment to the Consti-
tutioh oil the United States, the great right of
