money and Bonds I'm New York.
Eo,l1 he Pnn.

There is a perceptible abatement in
the stringency OF the money market,
although the full legal rate on ali
classes of collateral Is firmly establish
ed. The banks are now In condition to
loan more freely, and the better class OF
borrowers experience no difficulty in
meeting their full requirements at the
advanced rate. We hear that some of
the German bankers, as we'll as one or
two of the leading banks, who have
Southern connections, have commenced
shipping currency to New Orleans for
use in moving the cotton crop. The de-
mand from this quarter is likely TO in
crease as is also that from the West,
where the movement of the grain crop
has been temporarily checked. These
demands can but tend to sustain an ac-
tive inquiry for money throughout the
present month. Yet IL the banks are
not embarrassed by artificial means,
no stringency, such as has been felt
during the last few days, is anticipated.
There is very little business doing in
commercial paper, the usual buyers pre-
ferring to employ their money on call
at the present high rate.
Government bonds continue strong
and buoyant, with the volume of busi-
ness large. The recent depression of
the market, caused by speculative sales,
and by the reported sales of the Treas
ury, has stimulated large purchases by
investors, as well as by regular dealers.

have no political character.
His friends say he was not pleased
with the partisan badges and banners

THE secession of the Hon. James I.
Brady, the distinguished New York
lawyer, from the Democratic party, has
already been announced. The list of
this class is growing daily. Among
the latest additions are Hon. Henry L.
Wait, of Albany, formerly a Demo
cratic member of the State Assembly,
and a highly influential man in his
district; Hon. j. Mcleod Murphy, also
of New York, and lately a Tammany
Democratic State Senator, elected by
5000 majority; Michael t. Gibbons, for
twenty. five years prominent Irish
Democrat of New York City, has also
left the party, believing it unworthy of
support, as being sustained by August
Bslmont, the reported emissary of the
British Government, and opposing in
Congress all the legislation in behalf OF
Irishmen. He calls on his Irish-Amer-
lean brethren to support Grant, the
man who saved the asylum Of the Irish

Our Candidates.

We surrender great amount of our
space this week to the proceedings of the
Soldiers Convention, and the National
Union Convention which nominated our
next President and Vice-President. The
choice of the Convention, in conformity
with the expressed wish of the people, was
General Ulysses S. Grant. Never was a
man chosen for any position with more
unanimity, and never was a candidate NOM
mated for that high position with better
chance Of election, than U. S. Grant.
The candidate for Vice President is the
Hon. Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. The
names of other distinguished statesmen
were presented to the convention, and sup
ported with earnestness by their friends
any of whom would have been satisfactory
to the people, but few if any other mar
could carry the weight, and command The
influence Of Schuyler Colfax. He ha.
been tried, and has proved beyond doub
