MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY.-The event in financial and
commercial circles o.day was the fall
nre OF the German banking firm of
Schepeler & Co. Their operations were
yerv extensive, being large shippers Of
petroleum, provisions, &C., as well as
heavy dealers in gold stocks and bonds.
At one time they were the heaviest ex.
porters OF petroleum, and their transac-
lions generally extended into millions.
The immediate cause of the failure was
their heavy sales OF gold on speculative
account to the amount OF probably
eight or ten millions of dollars. In
addition to this large amount their bills
OF exchange have been sold here, which
will have to be returned here and COW
cred by specie shipments or other bills
OF first class houses. The firm had e1-
tensive credits in London and the con-
tinent, especially in Antwerp, Bremen
and Frankfort. The losses consequent
on this failure are understood to be
heavy and pretty extensively distribu-
ted here. The immediate effect was
to advance gold and bonds, IN
settle the market and stiffen foreign

The virginia Election.

The Virginia election has, been fixed
for Tuesday, July 9th. Two clauses
only of the Constitution are to be voted
upon separately, Sthe first referring to
the test oath, and the second to political
disability on account of participation
In the rebellion against the Govern
ment. Mr.. Greeley, in the Tribune,
thus sets forth the cardinal principles
which in his judgment are 10 triumph.
The Conservative State ticket having
been Withdrawn, he deems it manifest
that most of its late supporters will vote
the Independent Republican or Walker
ticket, so far as they vote at all:
1. The Free Constitution, framed
year or more since, will, in the main,
be accepted by large majority, If not
without serious opposition. (This SO.
cures to Blacks, equal rights with
&. The Test Oath and all disabilities
not prescribed by the XIVth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, will
be voted down-also by large mAjori-
ties.
3. State Officers, Representatives in
Congress, and a new State Legislature
will be chosen, of whom decided ma
jority will profess TO be. as most ofthem
will truly be, friendly TO Gen. Grants
Administration.
4. Two U. S. Senators OF like faith
will be chosen by this Legislature the
week after its assembling.
5. The predominant desire of the
masses to have peace, Industry, securi-
ty and prosperity, will make itself very
generally respected, in spite of the bit
terness still ranking in thousands OF
hearts.
6. A vast immigration from the
North, whereof the vanguard fsalready
traversing Virginia's valleys and seal
Ing her ridges, will rapidly appreciate
the value of her lands, break up her
plantations into farms, permeate her
omnipresent forests with new roads
and new clearings, while very con-
siderable proportion of her still growing
timber is destined to enter into the con-
struction of new dwellings and other
structures within the next few years.
In short, Virginia. having had enough
OF Civil War and devastation,e is about
to subordinate political strife to indus
trial progress and material prosperity,
and thus advance to future OF power
and wealth undreamed of in her past.
We have said nothing as to the re-
lative strength Of the Wells and Walk
er tickets respectively, nor have we
even indicated a preference between
them. On this point, we may speak
hereafter. But Gen. Wells late letter,
wherein he courteously yet clearly re-
pudiates enduring prescription and dis
reimbursement, recognizing and acQui-
escing in the benignant intimation on
this head of the last Chicago Platform,
has divested the contest between them
OF much OF its original importance.
For the present, we rest in the joyful
conviction that 1869 will see Virginia
fully reconstructed and re- Established
on the substantial and benefcent foun-
dations of Universal Amnesty and I'm
partial Suffrage.

CONNECTICUT, in 1865, voted upon the
question OF extending the elective fran
chise to the colored element OF
its population, and rejected the propo-
sal by negative vote of 33.4S9 against
27,2l7 in the affirmative. Connecticut
was thereupon excessively lauded by
the Caucasian journals, and pronounc-
ed to be committed forever against ne
gro suffrage. At the recent election,
however, the ratification of the propos-
ed fifteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution was made a distinct issue,
and the result was the e.election by
the people of a Legislature which
has just given its assent to the suf-
frage amendment by a decided majori-
ty, the vote in the Senate, taken some
days ago, standing 13 to s, and In the
House of Representatives, which upon
the question Thursday, 126 to 104. The
world moves, and the Connecticut
Democracy is not such heavy weight
that it can retard its progress.

A REMARKABLE ENCOUNTER.-A re-
markable though plausible story comes
from Bodega Bay, California, of ter
rife battle between a sperm whale and
a number of swordfsh, which resulted
in the defeat of the whale. The fight
was witnessed by farmer ploughing
in his field near the coast, only few
miles north of the "Golden Gate" The
sea was smooth, and the first indication
Of the conflict was commotion in the
the combatants rapidly approached the
land their movements became distinct
Iy visible. The swordfish were five in
number the whale, though displaying
great activity, was no match for them.
In making their thrusts into the side or
the whale the swOrdfsh kept clear OF
his tail, one blow from which would
have been fatal to either ofthem. With
maddened fury the whale struck right
and left, then dived to escape his tor
mentors, but they followed quickly,
and soon brought him to the surface.
Blood was seen spirting from deep
gashes in his sides. The contest lasted
nearly one hour, when the whale with
mighty effort flung himself upon
some low rocks and soon died. Many
persons from the neighboring village OF
Peteluma went out to view the carcass.
1t was fifty or sixty feet in length, and
there were gashes two feet deep and six
feet long in its sides.

THE TIMES ON THE PUBLIC CREDIT.
NEW YORK, Nav IT

NEW YORK, May IT.
The Times, speaking of the recent adj
vance in gold, says under an admins
tration OF retrenchment, economy and
revenue collected, the premium on gold
ought to tall, and the public credit in
all respects ought to be strengthened.
Such large, quick and unexpected ad-
vance as that of the last month de-
ranges the business value, and works
greatly to the detriment of the mercan-
tile interests of the country. NO doubt
that the carrying out OF the ideas OF
Grants inaugural with sound treas
ury policy and proper treasury ad-
ministration, would prevent these en-
barrassing and injurious fluctuations,
and at the same time sOlidly establish
the public credit.
SUMNER DECLINES TO WAIT ON THE

The Herald states that Senator Sum.
ner called at the White House to see

have to wait Is minutes. Mr.. Sumner
said he would not wait 10 minutes for
Napoleon, Victoria or any one else, and
that when Mr.. Grant wanted to see him
he could send for him. With that he
withdrew, and told a friend that "the
White House was nothing but mill
tary camp"

Important intelligence is expected

present appointment.
