SATURDAY, March 7-6P. M

The Erie movement continues to be the main
topic Of conversation in Wall street. and the stock
experienced a further advance to 7sI to-day. The
street mind Is confused to who Is in and who Is
out Of the stock asserting that Mr. Drew Is
OF the leading bulls and largely '1ong" and others
that he is heavily "short.n The bulls whoever they
are have thus far had the game in their own hands,
and they predict that Erie will shortly sell at
par and that Mr.. Vanderbilt will be appointed re-
ceiver OF the company.
Money was easy at six per cent, and loans were
made In some instances at five per cent on govern
ment securities.
The gold market was extremely dull during
the early part OF the day. and the nuctua-
tions were from 141h to 1405S, but late in
the afternoon it became heavy under pressure
to sell, and the latest quotation prior to
the adjournment OF the board was 14Oh 140%, fol-
lowing which there was further decline to 140h
140k without any assignable cause beyond the pre-
vious dulness Of the market. Coin was in supera-
bundant supply, and from five to seven per cent
paid for having 1t carried. The gross clearings
amounted to s27,6eoOOo, the gold balances to
$1sl002, and the currency balances to $2557, ,925.
The shipments OF specie for the week from the port
aggregated 81, ,54s.29o.

for him. We are sorry to add that during several
rounds, when Brittle was down In Matchetts corner,
he received an unmercifu kicking from the latter's
partisans most dastardly proceeding, which In all
probability to great extent lost him the fight.
MICKEY wALCH AND G. WALL (FUBSEY), FOR eco.
These men were to have met In the same ring,
and had stripped for hostilites, when a posse OF
police appeared and secured the ropes and stakes,
which We're, however, afterwards retaken, but 1t
was found impossible to get the lads together again
that day. They met at the Shareholders in the
ing and early on Tuesday morning, walch, with his
seconds and the referee, attended at the spot,
lected and entered the ring giving Wall an hours
grace; but the latter not showing, the stakeholder
awarded the stakes to Wach. We have since learned
that Wall was apprehended on the previous evening,
and was bound over for a term.

The Unsdulter.sed Negro.

Hsyti has been Independent fer absut
half century, and during that time the
Haytiens have been gradually returning TO
their natural barbarism. Independence Of
white control was too much for the strength
Of tho negro. The race was unfit for civil
izatiou, and has done all that il could to drag
dSwn civilization to its own level, by graft
ing European vices on its normal inferior-
ity, and by adding to the religion Of the
white man the savage superstitions Of idol
atrous Fetish worship. But the negro is
an initiative animal, and, having no moral
sduples, has played the game Of revolu-
tion with sad but ludicrous success. There
have been Presidents, Diotators, Empsrors
in succession, and the last stage-one more
Dictator-seems to be worse than the first.
SAnarohy is the natural condition Of a
people who, unfit to govern themselves or
others, ape the manners and customs Of 3
white nation, and this has in few years
made the finest island in the caribbean
Sea wilderness and waste. There are no
roads, no plantations, no streets, no manu-
faetures. The villages are clusters of huts;
the towns are but groups of dilapidatsd
buildiags; as in the United States, there is
no. currency but paper. The white man is
not present to direct industry and enoour
