says:
The reaction of the month is the natural re-
suit Of speculation, and has damaged spectators
chiefly. The fall has not attracted the notice Of
Congress which properly leaves operators in
stocks to arrange their affairs with as much in
difference as was shown when pork and hog pro-
ducts broke $40 per Dbl. in q single month.
Money is Z per cent. to brokers upon mixed col
laterals with ample margins. and upon govern
ment stocks TO leading houses. The borrowing
demand has been much reduced by the collapse
In stocks and accounts are made up with readi-
ness. In commercial paper no special change
Some prime names pass at per cent, and the
range is 79S good gal per cent"
The Western members of Congress in
tend, if possible, to get a joint resolution
passed to repeal the act allowing the
Secretary of State to retire four millions
Of legal tenders per month. A resolution
for this purpose is now before the Ways
and Means Committee but the motion has
been entered to reconsider, which is
privileged question, and brings the ques-
ton before the House any day. 1t is their
intention to bring the matter up in this
way, ard secure prompt vote. The West

PoIETs IL THE DECISION OF THE CASE
or Mrs STURRER vs.. GREEN q Fire.
His Honor Judge McLain, in the Circuit
Court on yesterday decided in the case Of
Mrs. Spurrer, Of Smith county, VS.. Green &
Fife, for the recovery ofS8OO0 lthe payment
Of said sum being made in Confederate
money about the time Of the fall Of Fort
Donaldson, in liquidation Of the same
owed her on purchase made previous to
or near the commencement Of the war, in
favor Of the plaintiff The decision was 10
the effect that such payment was, as affects
the heirs and transferee, no payment at all.
Yet this decision does not affect the general
transactions Of adults The Judge, for the
present, withholds his opinion in the case.
II is possible that the case will yet go TO
the Supreme Court. This was the only
business ofimportance in the court divorce
and other bills engaging a large portion OF
the time Of the court.
