however, there was less enquiry from buyers, and
the above advance was lost, the market closing at

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-T The market for this arti-
Gle has ruled somewhat unsettled since our last
review, owing to the unfavorable tenor of the ad-
vices received from abroad, and up to the close of
Tuesdays transactions the price ranged from As
to At cents-closing at 463 cents T3 gallon. To-
day (Thursday) there appears to be more firm
ness in the market, and buyers freely offer 463
cents at which some sales have been effected, but
factors generally are holding at higher figure,
as the advices from other markets are rather bet
ter, and the stock held here is unusually small
The weeks transactions foot up only 377 bbls.,

Iris reported that the effect of the
Presidents amnesty is the subject
of some speculation in Washington
touching its effect upon the indict-
ment against jeff. Davis. To dis
pose of the latter, it is suggested
that he must surrender himself into
custody and get out a writ of habeas
corpus, etc. The proclamation hav-
ing pardoned Davis of the ofiense
upon which he is held under indict-
ment, the attorney for the Govern
meut can move a dismissal or RoHe
proseqai, and he will undoubtedly
do so. Or if it should become nee
essary the attorney for the delen-
dant would make motion for the
discharge of their client based upon
the proclamation.

MY two papers, both daily,
are not very harmonious touching
the amnesty proclamation. The
Philadelphia Press, says "there
seems to be little opportunity or
even disposition to punish the men
pardoned by the President but if
any thing could induce Congress to
refuse to relieve them it is this con-
slant effort Of the President to defy
the constitution and laws and set
them free under his own proclama-
ton" while the Washington
Chronicle is rather pleased with
the document, declaring that " this
much, at least, must be said for him
in this cOnnectiOn-viZ, that he
shows a certain sense of poetic fit
ness in selecting Christmas Day for
his proclamation of peace on earth
and good will 20 men The ear

GRANTS PRoMlsE OF ECONOMY.

We published yesterday the YER
sion Of recent conversation Gen.
Grant is reported to have had with
some members of Congress, as fur
nished to the New York Tribune
by its Washington correspondent,
and which drew from the Tribune
such enthusiastic praise Of the
General, even to declaring that it
'Iooked for his coming as men who
gaze through the darkest night fer
vently yearn for the morning" 1t
appears that this story has another
side to it, and the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald
under date of the oath inst. tells it
as follows:
"The double loaded editorial in the
Washington column Of New York
paper this morning, purpOrting to give
Gen. Grants views on an old subject, Is
not regarded as Of any Importance here.
Inquiry in the proper quarter has dsvel>
oped the fact that so far as Gen. Grants
opinions on the Pacific railroads are con.
cerned, the dispatch in question lacks the
important element of truth. The Sena>
tor alleged to have been present, and
whOm Grant is represented as having
snubbed in first class style, denies having
been present at any such interview, and
states that he never heard Gen. Grant
speak on the subject Of Pacific railroads.
1t seems that Cakes Ames had CONVEX
satiOn with Gen. Grant some days ago,
when the subject Of the Pacific railroads
was incidentally mentioned; but Gen.
Grant says the published accounts are
garbled, and not only misrepresent him,
but do him injustice. He is understood
to be opposed to any new projects for
railroads to the Pacific; but he IS in favor
Of completing those now under construc-
ton, and, of course, faVors the execution
of the laws passed by Congress granting
subsidies. What Grant said to Cakes
Ames has evidently been twisted by inH
terested parties into a raid against the
Pacific railroads, and it is noticeable that
the New York paper which makes such
a display of the matter has been urging
Congress to withhold" all further aid for
the construction Of the roads"

THE New York Tribune is highly
pleased with the decision of the
Maryland Court Of Appeals, affirm
ing the validity of contract to
pay in gold, and declares that this
decision ought to be gratifying to
all honest business men, if only be
cause it establishes an agreement
between the law and the custom
which prevails in several import
ant branches of commerce There
are certain kinds Of imports, such
as hides, sugars, coffee, etc, in which
the transactions between consignees
and first purchasers are almost in
variably for gold. 1t Ehas been
held, or at least supposed, that such
contracts would not be enforced by
the courts, but commercial moral
itvor commercial interest hasproved
strong enough to secure their full
fllment, and very few losses have
been sustained in them 1t is not
improbable that the custom will
now become more general.

OUR dispatches report that Mr..
George r. Rutter, President Of the
late Tennessee National Bank of
Memphis, was taken before Judge
Lee in Memphis yesterday on a writ
of h06eaS corpus, and released on
bail, the bond being fixed at s., 600.
The time that he is TO appear, here
for trial is not stated. Consider
ing that the amount involved is
nearly half million dollars, the
bail appears rather small. There
is, however, no apparent desire on
the part Of Mr.. Rutter to shrink a
trial; on the contrary, the telegraph
reports that he solicits a thorough
investigation. That is precisely
what the people want. They are
satisfied that if Rutter is guilty,
there are others who are not a whit
better, and they desire to know who
they are. Let US have light on this
subject

lit is repofBed that Mr.. Jay Cooke,
who has made an enormous fortune
out Of the government by selling its
bonds on commission, has laid be-
fore the authorities at Washington
a carefully prepared plan for fund
ing the national debt and resuming
specie payments, which it is said
has been received with favor by
those who have examined it. The
details have not been made public,
but the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. (Radical) says of this plan:
at cOntempIates, among other things,
such policy towards the Southern States
as will hasten the development Of their
resources, and put them in condition to
take care Of themselves, and contribute
their share toward the common burdens.
By accepting in good faith the new con-
dition of things, it will be in their power,
by the adoption of liberal policy on the
part of the government, to secure the ad-
vantages Of the national banking system
as they have not yet done, and he in the
way of putting their great resources.t to
profitable account. The value Of the cot
ton crop this year approximates $500,
100000, and with the proceeds OF th'
riceand tobacco crop added, the Soutf
Twill have moneyed basis equal to any
demands that may be made on it. Thi
element, he maintains, must be takeI
into account in any solution of the finan
cial problem that has chance Of sue
cess"
| 1t will thus be seen that the grea
Southern staple is relied upon t
enable the United States govern
ment to pay its debt. This fact
beginning to force itself upon tn
leading financial minds of th
| North, and in this statement of ia.
Cookies plan we have a publ
acknowledgment of the fact. No
let these men who see the necessit
. of encouraging the growth Of col
= ton, urge upon Congress the adoI
. ton of a more liberal policy tOwar
the South. Let the South hav
e peace, and some encouragement
labor and produce that which it
now evident is to be relied upon
pay off the national debt.

1T appears to be pretty generally
believed that the first thing Con

that the veto will be devoted princi-
