The situation of affairs in the money market
at the close Of banking hours yesterday was
of character to excite the liveliest appre-
tensions of each merchant and business man
az he goes down town to his Office this morn
ing. An artificial stringcncy has been pro-
duced in money which threatens to lead to
most serious results. A prominent firm on
stock Market resorted last Tuesday to the
expedcnt of locking up some eight or nine
millions Of greenbacks by procuring a loan
at one Of the banks on collaterals. The
money thus obtained they deposited in other
banks, and by drawing their checks against
the amount and having them certified sue
ceeded in Withdrawing nearly ten millions Of
currency from circulation. They failed of
their main object, however. Stocks refused
to go down as far as they wished. The screw
was applied again, and yesterday three and a
half millions more were put under lock and
key. The effect was Immediately felt in the
tightness of money. The merchants and bank
ers wishing accommodation were compelled to
pay interest at the rate OF seven per cent in
gold with, in instances a commission of one
eighth of one per cent, or from ten to twelve
per cent in currency. The provoking feature
of this state Of affairs is that the stringency
does not spring from any arrangement of
monetary credit, but is entirely artificial and
portion of great stock gambling scheme.
The curious fact has been elected that four
Of our banks have lent themselves to the ques-
tionable strategy of the stock gamblers. IT is,
indeed, pertinent inquiry if u crisis or panic is
not impending in Wall street. Unless the
other banks come 10 the assistance of the dis
tressed to-day there is danger of q serious
financial crash

Grant and Mexico.

The history Of Mexico since the date OF her
independence has been one Of continued rcvo-
luton. In that republic society seems to have
sunk TO the depths of lawlessness and demorali-
cation. The whole world has been for over
generation astounded at the endless pronunci-
amicstos Of the greasy politicians So long
as the damage done fell only on Mexicans
themselves the outside world showed no dispo-
sition to mcddlc with them. But when the
material and personal interests of foreigners
fell prey to the political bandits foreign
nations combined to put down lawlessness in
Mexico and establish order there. Such was
the reason Of the Anglo-French and Spanish
Intervention which set Macmillan on the
throne and sent him to an early grave. II is
but right TO speak thus harshly of Mexicans;
for, were II not that an unusual scorn OF all
law and order has been for years shown by
them, no intrigues or plots Of foreigners
could set them at each others throats
Still, foreigners have much to answer for in
the lawlessncss Of Mexicans. There is scarcely
leading business house in the republic
that has not had hand in some one or
other Of the proDuncidmientos. IL has been
favorite plan for foreign merchants to hire
some petty chieftan TO get up rebellion
against the national or a State government
about the time that very valuable cargoes OF
goods we're due at the port where said chief
established his headquarters. For com
paratively small sum advanced by the mcr-
chants 10 the rebel chief the latter wouiu
allow the goods to DO landed and sold through
the republic. The money advanced 20 inc
rebel chief would be acknowledged by cer"h-
Gates receivable for customs. Thus ene
Mexican revenue has been for years ana
years defrauded by foreigners But this Is
not the worst feature; for the money would
be advanced to the chief in the manner of a
forced loan; and in this, as well as other ways
known Only to spectators, foreign govern
ments have been able "a trnmn I'M claims

ALL TALK AND No CIDER.
Seymour has taken the stump, and will
talk in his own behalf from now until the
day OF election. Well, Seymour was always
good at pretty speeches, but lamentably def
cient in action. The late Dean Richmond, In
his plain, blunt way, once said to the Gov
crnor, by Cd, Governor, If you would
only act as well as you talk You would be fit
for the kingdom of Heaven" But Governor
Seymour is now speaking before the people
of the United States, and not before Dean
Richmond. His remarks render one thing
ccrtain-that il would be entirely useless to
elect him President, and that If he held the
rens Of government in his hands Tomorrow
he would be powerless to control the radical
legislation Of Congress. OF what use, then,
would IT be to place him at the head of the
government Far better to elect Grant, who
can exercise some control over Congress, and
TO trust to his conservative views to shape the
future policy of the United States.

TERRORISM IN CuBA.-By our dispatches
from Havana it will be seen that there are
some disafrected elements in Cuba not dis
posed to let the opportunity of revolution
in the mother country pass away without
demonstration Of their love of barbarous IL
cense. We are not precisely informed whether
this is the way that the love Of liberty and
hatred of the Bourbons manifest themselves in
the ever faithful isle but it may well be that
the Bourbon rule and the peculiar civilization
of mongre race have so brutalized parts of the
Cuban population that 1t can find no other
satisfaction in troubled times than the desola-
ton of the country by incendiarism and muir
der. Since these terrorists are sufficiently
strong to conscript the population of certain
districts Il would seem that disorder is making
greater progress than was thought possible in
view of Lersundi's vigor.

The nominations of the democratic party in
this county are well chosen and of n character
to commend themselves to the support Of the
citizens At the convention held last night
Michael Connolly was nominated for Register,
Cunning s. Bedford for City Judge, George
G.. Barnard for Justice Of the Supreme Court,
and William M. Tweed for Supervisor. Judge
Connolly will receive a large outside support,
independent of Tammany Hall, and his friends
have been clamorous for his nomination
to the Office rendered vacant by the
death of Miles O'Reiliy. II seems appro-
pirate that the position held by one indie
pendent democrat through popular election,
should be flled by another Independent demo-
crat who belonged to the same party with the
deceased, and whose efforts did much TO Sc
cure his election. In Cunning S. Bedford the
CITY secures the services of rising young
lawyer and citizen of unexceptionable charac-
ter Tor the leading criminal court Of the county.
Judge Barnard has rendered himself indispen-
sable in the Supreme Court by his bold and
prompt action in all cases that have come be-
fore him and by the efficiency with which he dis
charges the duties of his Office. William M.

Renewal of the Opera Boune War.


After suspension of hostilties for few
days, during which Field Marshal Gran has
been actively preparing to execute brilliant
flank movement, the ''war of the boufers"
was renewed last evening with all the pomp
and circumstance Of which so comical con-
test is capable. The contest, after all, between
Grau and Bateman is but generous rivalry
as to which Of their respective troupes shall
minister most abundantly TO the demands Of
the mrth and music loving population of New
York. The triumphs of each troupe rebound to
the honor Of Offenbach, with whose name, as
the musical Heinrich Heine Of the day, oparG
6oufs is inseparably and almost exclusively
identified in our minds.
Mile. Tostee still reigns with undisputed
sway at Pixies magnificent Opera House, but
on Saturday she will give her last matinee az
Grandc Duchesse de Gerolstein, and next week
she win reappear in her equally attractive role
Of la Belle Helene. The opera of ''Genevieve
dc Brabant," which was produced yesterday
evening at the elegant little French theatre in
Fourteenth street with such an effective mise
en- scene and such splendid costumes, and with
voices that interpret SO finely some Of the rich
est and most sparkling music ever composed
by Offenbach, amply justiaes all that we have
already had occasion to say in its praise in
both our musical and our dramatic columns.
It offers, moreover, the additional charm OF
novelty-that indispensable requisite for sue
cess with New York audience. Both the
managers Of the rival opera houses promise to
favor us during the season with several Of
Offenbach's operas which viii be altogether
new to our stage. We do not know which Of
them will bring out 'sLa Pultich0le," Often
bach's very last opera, which created 80 great
sensation on its first representation at the
Varieties theatre in Paris on the 9th inst. Tho
scenes of this opera are laid in Peru, and while
the libretto, by Messrs. Henri Meilhac and Luz
dovic Halevy, has been most diversely judged
by the Partisan critics, all unite in lauding the
partition. With the exception of somewhat
too many "reminiscences, borrowed as usual by
the composer from his own repertory, it is
eulogizcd as being zone Of the richest in me
l0dious ideas and the most carefully wrought
which jacques Ofrenbach has ever signed wi tn
his claw of gold and diamond" Either one or
the other of our rival managers will probably
reproduce ssI4a PuItichole" here before both
finally abandon the field OF opira bonGe for
that OF opera comigue.

The telegraphic and mail news which wa
have been printing from day to day has
been full Of encouragement as to the condition
and prospects Of Spain. Serrano as well as
Prim has declared in favor of monarchy, and
the presumption is that monarchy, for the pre-
sent, at least, will carry the day. 1t is impos-
sible to disconnect this Spanish movement
from those great agencies, the railroad, the
telegraph and the printing press, which, after
all, are the great reformers of modern times.
French influence and enterprise have long been
active in SPAIN but French influence and en-
terprise are identical with Napoleonism. It is
as certain as it win be easy for Napoleon to roll
this Spanish ball to suit his own convenience.
Frenchmen have been loudly complaining that
the revolution in Spain has been got up by
Prussian money. It will not be wonderful if.
when the actual facts come to be known.
French gold has been more actively en-
ployed than Prussian in getting up and
carrying through this revolution in the PENN
sula. Spain is at the present moment vir-
tually in the hands of Napoleon. However
the revolution may end, it is manifest
now that no other than a constitutional
government can be established. Napoleon
is too astute ruler to force matters in
any direction; but violence is not necessary
to direct the movement in favor of the unity
of the Latin races. Spanish institutions will
be assimilated to those of France, and the
ruler of France will be the virtual chief OF
the whole of the South of Europe. A con-
federation or union which will include France,
Italy and the Iberian peninsula is no longer
the vain and empty dream which it once ap-
peared to be. Before many weeks roll past it
may be found that France has outwitted Prus-
STA and that Napoleon is still too many for his
skilled disciple Bismarck.

FRAUDS IN ELECTIoNs.-A great deal OF
fuss Is being made just now about alleged in
tended frauds in the democratic party in regard
to naturalization papers for the approaching
election. This is all balderdash. There is no
doubt that frauds have been committed by
both political parties in every State Of the
Union at election time, and 1t is'probably i'm
possible to prevent bad men from attempting
to cheat on both sides in an excited political
campaign. But there has never been gene
raj election In which frauds have not been
charged on all parties by the opposition, and
we have yet to learn Of single case in which
such frauds have been brought home to the
offenders and properly punished.
