The Commercial says that the market Is
somewhat unsettled after the political cx-
citcmcnt of yesterday. The Presidents
speech and the Cooper Institute meeting
have developed a bitterness of animosity
between the Administration and the OPP
position which, for the moment, suggests
unwclcomc reflections 10 nervous minds,
and have disturbed them somewhat. The
Government has not appeared In the mar
kct rs n seller of -four are five millions. as
reported On the street tie upward ten
.dcncy was checked, and the premium was
reported steady Mt 379663S.
Government securities were somewhat
weaker from the same cause, iivo-twcntics
being l6@i4 lower, Notwithstanding the
continued advance Of quotations abroad.
The stock market Is quiet but, upon the
whole, stronger. The bull interest Is n tie
cidcdly powerful one, and docs not appear
to be in mood to allow of any dropping in
the market,
The pinch IN the money market cOntin-
Ties. The effect Of the largo Withdrawals of
currency into the Treasury, In payment for
gold, does not appear to have nbnted. and

the sales of gold made to-day from the Sub
treasury.
Dispatches from Washington say it il
stated that the Ways and Means Committee

revenue.
The Posts special says nuch excitement
exists In Washington over the Presidents

leaders.

Wholesome reaction is taking place all
over the country. One evidence was given
In Kentucky, the other day. The Clncin-
natl Commercial says:
Captain J. w. Read. formerly of the
Fifty-ilith Kentucky Volunteers, was fined
$1,000 by jury in the Circuit Court OF
Campbell County, Kentucky, at Alexan-
dria, on Thursday, ON two indictments
charging him with preventing legal voters
from voting. Being unable or nnwllling Ia
pay the fine, he was committed to lail
Captain II. claimed to have acted under or
ders from General Palmer, ID preventing
the parties from voting"
This fellow READ, be It known, was the
shoulder-strapped scoundrel who headed
the military mob at the August election
and was the cause of unmitigatcd personal
outrages being perpetratcd on several
prominent citizens of that State. He is be-
ing requifed now to taste some of his own
medicine; only what he has TO swallow
has been prescribed by legal authority.
