startling COunterFeit Discovered :


NEW YORK, Oct. Considerable ex-
element was caused in the stock market
this morning by the announcement that
counterfeit 7-30s of the issue of June, 1865,
had been discovered. Prices did not, how
ever, fall off much.
The discovery was made in Washington
by the Chief Clerk of the Treasury Depart
ment, and Mr.. Clark, the government
printer, arrived this morning with detec-
tive, who has been endeavoring to ascer-
tain the amount issued, and the hands
through which fraudulent notes have
passed.
Thus far, he has discovered one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars worth, and has
identified number of banks and banking
houses, and that they either now hold or
have recently passed them.
The issues are all dated between the 2lst
of September and the 4th of October of this
year; many of them are of whittier paper
than the genuine, the borders ruled wider
and the star seal slightly larger, with
larger rays.
There is disposition to regard the ex-
citement unwarranted by facts that the
counteffeits which have reached this city
nave Dten diluOSt enllTely from IlLtSDurE,
Cleveland, Springfield, and a few other
Western cities, in amounts Of $1,000 to
$4,000 at a time.
The Express says the notes are the best
counterfeits ever issued of government Sc
curities, and that conjecture runs that the
whole amount is from one-half to two and
a half million dollars.
1t is rumored that one house here has
half a million. The counterfeit bonds are
of the second series of sevenNthirties, dated
June 10, 1865, of the denomination of
$1,000
The Commercial says that as some of the
largest dealers in the city have been de-
ceived, it is highly probable dealers in
other cities have been swindled by this
paper also, and that the amount may
reach millions Of dollars.

Ohio Election.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE Commercially
Columbus dispatch says returns, official
and unofficial, from all the counties in the
State give Hayes about 2600 majority. The
Democrats concede the ticket by 1000 ma
iority. The Commercial says the Republi-
can counties in the Reserve have turned
the scale and secured the election of HAYES
for Governor by majority .variously esti-
mated from 1900 to 1900. The Democrats
have elected nineteen Senators and the Re-
publicans eighteen; in the House the Demo
Gratis have fifty four and the Republicans
ffty-giving five Democratic majority on
joint ballot.
The Enquirer says the Legislature stands
about as announced in yesterdays ISSUE
although we are forced at this writing to
concede majority to Hayes of 2ll votes
Our opponents, however, claim majority
ranging from 1000 to 1900, but until the
official count shall be announced, we are
not even ready to fully acknowledge his
election.
The Gazette says the election of Hayes
is established beyond question. Our Co
lumbus correspondent states the majority
at 2848. The General Assembly stands
as follows: Senate-Democrat 10. Repub-
licans Is, with possibly chance of one yet
in favor of the Republicans House
Democrats Sc, Republicans 40.

A Good Business Ruler,

The Universal Yankee Nation have
the credit Of being sharp at a bargain

terp:ise, but the Emperor of the French
who has been in Yankee land, and of.
ten travelled in Europe, is about as
sharp as the cutest Yankee in all Chris.
tendon. There is, no doubt, philoso.
ply in THE GREAT EXHIBITION, but the
gist of it will be seen in the figures,
which state that this grand affair will
cost England f150,0OO, Prussia El2O,-
900, Italy fSO,OOO, Austria, $4,000,
the United States E40, 000-total
E530,oOO. Russia, Egypt, the English
Colonies, and other parts Of the world,
will bring the aggregate up to a million
0 fpounds sterling, all to be spent by
foreign countries among French work
men before the exhibition opens, in
getting ready for it. Jumping hastily
at a conclusion, an Englishman remarks
that a Partisan shop is no bad invest
ment, which clears $4,000, 900 francs
before it takes its shutters down. We
don't complain Of this. Upon the con
trary, we think it for France a very wise
thing, showing at once great foresight
upon the part of the Emperor, who
conceived it, and good Judgment upon
the part of those Governments and peo-
pie, who deem it necessary not to pass
umnoticcd, amidst such a collection Of
the worlds wonders, and such an in
ternational assembly of people.--Mw

Tho Russian Treaty.

The object Of President Johnson In
converting the Senate in extraordinary
session, was to lay before 1t the treaty
with Russia in which, for seven millions
of dollars, that power codes to the Uni
ted States the whole of her possessions
on the North American continent. II
this treaty be ratified it will be the cheap
est transaction in real estate noted fol
some time.
This territory lies North Of lat. 81
deg. 40 min, and West Of long. 141
deg. w.; and with the adjacent island,
contains near 400, 900 square miles. Its
climate is cold, and the soil for the
most part sterile, while it is thinly in
habited. 1t can be made chiefly val
liable for its fisheries and furs, and it's
lumber, the pine growing there in it's
greatest perfection. 1t is also desira-
bic as an extension Of our Pacific
coast.
What Russia's motive is for wanting
to sell we do not know, but certainly
there can be no objection to giving the
price asked for IN area of land equal
in dimensions to that of eight or ten of
our largest States combined.
1t is reported, however, that the SEN
ate will reject the treaty, for the simple
reason that it was the work Of Presi-
dent Johnson aud Mr.. Seward .-Nash-
