Excitement in the Stock Market
= counterfeit 7-30's-Seizures Under
the Internal Revenue Laws.

New YORK, Oct. 1O.-Considerable
excitement was caused in the stock
market this morning by the an
nouncement that counterfeit 7-30s of
the issue. Of June. 1865, had been
discovered. Prices did not, however,
fall off much. The discovery was
made in Washington by the chief
clerk of the Treasury Department.;
and Mr.. Clark. government printer,
arrived this morning with detective
who has been endeayoring to ascer-
tain the amount of the issue, and the
hands through which the fraudulent
notes have passed. asf .a
Thus far he has discovered one hnn-
dred and sixty thousand dollars
worth, and has notified a number of
banks and banking houses that they
either now hold or have recently
passed them. The issues are dated
between the 2lst of September and
the 4th of October. Many of them
are of whittier paper than the genuine;
the borders are ruled wider and the
star seal slightly lighter, with larger
rays. There is a disposition to re-
gard the excitement as unwarranta-
bic by the facts. The counterfeits
which reached this city have been al
most entirely from Pittsburg, Cleve-
land. Springfield and a few other
Western cities, and In amounts of
but one thousand to five thousand
dollars worth at time
The Ecpress says the notes are the
best counterfeit ever issued of the
Government securities, and that con-
lecture runs that the whole amount is
| from one half to two and half mil
lion dollars. 1t is 'rumored that one
house here has half a million. The
counterfeit bonds are of the second
series of 7-30's, dated June 18th. 1865.
! of the denomination of ST. ,0r0. ~9lffi
The Commercial says as some of
the largest dealers in this city have
| been deceived, it is highly probable
| that dealers In other cities have been
swindled by this paper also, and that
the amount may reach a million of
dollars. s1eii l8a = bns ~. 'aa lFT 81

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The Tribune
says that Ohio, on Tuesday, gave more
votes, and larger proportion of her
Republican strength for manhood
suffrage, than any other State has ever
given-more by many thousands
than she would ever have given till
now. The vital principle of genuine
Democracy will march on through
seeming defeats to inevitable and con-
elusive triumph; through whatever
trials of i cOnstancy the great party
will move right on to arduous but in
evitable achievement of equal rights
to all
The World says: The news we
publish from Ohio fills the measure
of our hopes. The elections are an
indignant. unanimous veto upon the
policy of the party in power.
The Times says: The elections in
dicate no increased confidence in the
Democratic party, but simply reac-
ton against the extreme acts and
measures of the Republican party
and convey an admonition which
ought to be salutary to political lead

The Herald says: The recent elec
: tions do not denote Democratic yicto
, tories, but that the Republican ele
ment of the country has stepped aside
to rebuke its leaders. os
