OFFIcE OF THE EVENING TEIEonApp5
TuEadnY. Anril o. LEGO "

The loan market is just now in a condition
which is well calculated to inspire the public
with confidence and to stimulate every branch
of our national industry. The effect is every
where perceptible in the very countenances of
our business men, as well as In trade and manu-.
featuring circles. Such is the magic effect of an
abundant and cheap money market on all our
national interests which, if nothing occurs to
interfere with, will yet give us an active and
profitable spring trade Fears are, indeed en-
tertaned that the opening of lake and New
York canal navigation may create demand for
money to move Western crops eastward, which
may again exhaust the resources of the market:
but no fears need be entertained on this score
as these crops are in great measure owned by
the Eastern banks; besides, the West is largely
indebted to the East. Hence we are inclined TO
expect steady and easy market for some time
to come.
Gall loans are easy at 50D7 per cent, and dis
counts at 60S per cent for prime business
paper.
Government securities are quiet and steady.
Told continues firm Mt 1888 at 12 VI. to-day.
There was firm feeling in the Stock market,
ana considerable degree of activity. State
loans were steady, with sales of the second
series at 106, and the third do. at O65I Citv
bs were unchanged; the new issues sold at 10l1(.
Government bonds were frmer
Reading Railroad was active at 49,; Penna
Il. X. sold at 591l; Lehigh Valley Railroad at So;
and Catawissa Railroad preferred at 351S, 8. o.
2S2l was bid for Philadelphia and Erie Railroad:
"a for North Pennsylvania Railroad; and "a
for Minehill Railroad.
In Canal stocks no new feature to present Ie
was offered for Schuylkill Navigation preferred
and 321a for Lehigh Navigation.
Coal stocks were quiet with sales OF New
York and Middle at AZ.
In Bank shares there were sales of Mechanics
at 81 and North America at 235
Passenger Railway shares were firm with
sales of Green and Coates at 3S1S. SO was bid
for Germantown and 1874 for Hestonville.

Convention of Washington Territory met at
Vancouver April %, and nominated Governor
Moore as delegate to Congress.
Murdered by the Suvages.
II is ascertained beyond doubt that the crew
OF the barque John Bright, wrecked in Nootlla
Sound, were all murdered by the Indians. Seve-
raj decapitated bodies of white men were found
in that vicinity, and il is deemed necessary that
the Government should send gunboat there for
the protection of the whites.

'ii.i,r Insurgents win Hold Out.

,1icrc is authority for stating that the Spanish
envoy to this country cstecms the rebellion in
Cuba n substantially at an end. That this is
too san9unc an announcement is generally be-
lieyed here, but that serious rcverses have been
suffered by the Insurgents is admitted and
known. Mr.. Roberts declares that within sixty
days there viii not be man in arms against the
authorities and that General Prim will find the
situation pacific on his arrival Ii seems that
the Captain-Gcncral has had about thirty thou
sand men under arms, and they are steadily ad-
yancing and repOssessing the interior country.
The legation here view the ineuTcction as con-
cllded and anticipate proclamation of elem
ency in few days VI hich viii secure the adhesion
of those who vet feebly hold out. On the other
hand, the agents of the insurgents, while theyare
depressed are not hopeless and they give out that
substantial reason exists TO believe that the
rebellion NAV yet mOFe vigorously revive than
ever owing 10 the fact that the conceded occu-
patton OF the interior districts by the authorities
will concentrate the insurgent forces more
effectively. II Is now competent TO state thar
an expedition has been In process OF Organiza-
tion for some time; that il has offices in Phia-
delphia, this city, and New York; that several
hundred men in the first and last cities have
been enrolled. ana that regular rcgimcntal
classification has been agreed upon-at least on
paper-One OF the fighting McCook family being
stated to be in command. That expedition will
or was 10 depart from Charleston What COM
pleXion the present news viii cast upon the
enterprise cannot be tOrctold. Ii Is believed,
however, that il viii delay it, and most probably
disband il altogether The great difficulty the
insurgcnt, have experienced has arisen from
three causcs:-1he property men have been
against them: they cannot buy arms, having
neither money nor market, and their emanci-
patton burst has failed, the negroes prcferring to
remain at labor than muster into regiments. .-

that day the plaintiff was a passenger on one OF de-
fendants trains from here to Pittsburg, and while in
motion an axle of the car in which he was riding
broke, and the dashed to the ground, causing
him serious internal injuries.

the train had been subjected TO the most thorough
tingdon just beyond which the break was made, and
in none of these examinations was flaw detected

view of these circumstances the occurrence was an
inevitable accident, for which they should not be
held liable in damages On trial.

PRESIDENT GRANT.
A Western Tour Projected.

From the San Francisco Alto California March 81.
Private correspondence received In this city
from Washington gives us positive and suthen-
tic information that President Grant will GER
tainly visit this coast during the coming sum
mer. Vice-President Colfax is expected to sc-
company the grand excursion party, which will
make the trip earlier, by way of celebrating the
opening of the read. General Grant, however,
desires to cross the continent in less ostenta-
tious manner later in the season, with but very
small party The visit of the President, should
he come to California, would be an occasion for
the greatest enthusiasm ever witnessed in the
State; and, as Grant is the first man that ever
has held the Presidential clr,ir and has prevl-
ously resided in California, II would DC quite
lifting that he should be the first President OF
the United States that ever visited the state.
Views of the Executive on virginia Affairs.
From. the Richmond Whig, April "a.
We have the most gratifying assurances from
Washington that General Grant will give us a
fair election, and afford every opportunity Ior
making the best that can be made OF the Under-
wood abomination. he Is in favor OF real peace
and of whatever viii best promote the true lnte-
rests of the Commonwealth. All the trlcks ana
devices of those artful dodgers Wells "a ana
Bond will be thrown away upon hm' lheH
are now in Washington spending their money
i'm vain. General Grant, with the aid OF Gene
raj Candy, in whom he has perfect conn
dence, viii settle this matter TO the satis-
faction of the people of Virginia, and the
Walker ticket, running on the Grant programme,
win be elected by at least hundred thousand
majority. We are every day more and more
nersuaded that Wells willnot stand poll.
Whatever politicians in Washington and New
York NAV say, in this whole matter OF Virginia
reconstruction General Grant has acted the Parl
of true man-of high man---ot one VINO knew
What was right. and resolved to enforce IT,. Al
his first interview with the COMMITTEE OF Nine
he declared that the Underwood Constitution
was an abomination; that various clauses In II
would be stricken out and voted down Dy th'
neonle. and he has known no variation or sha
dow OF changing on the subject from that day
10 this. He still thinks those abominable clauses
shonid he stricken out. lie is determined thai
they shall be stricken out, and that the thlne
(the Underwood Constitutlon) shall ne ainenuco N
and imnroved as much as it is capable Of being
inpIoyed. We speak that whereof We know

Holm Buu Imposed Upon.

Liverpool Snowman has on exhibition a
gallery of Wax-worlls, representing distinguished
Americans. An American gentleman, in allud-
ing to his visit to the show, writes:-'I found
General Grant ticketed No. $40, and General
Lee No. $780, Both Of them were bad like
nesses; but the Joke was that the numbers were
misplaced, so that Lee stood for Grant and Uioe

face of Jefferson Davis was labelled Abraham

such a state of things, but he was exceedingly

Cu1CAGo, April ga horrible death from
hvdrophobia occurred here yesterday. The
victim was young man named William Good
willie, of this city. A few weeks ago a friend
brought into the shop little dog picked up in
the street. Goodwillie, in fondling it, was bitten
in the thamb. Little notice was taken of the
wound, which healed over The first symptoms
of hydrophoba appeared on Sunday morning
when he arose and attempted washing himself.
The sight of water threw him into paroXysms.
Medical aid was summoned, but the malady in
creased during the day, and at night he foamed
at the mouth, snapped at members of his family
and was seized with commissions. Every few
minutes he realized, during his lucid intervals,
his situation, and begged his friends to keep
away for safety.
Yesterday afternoon it was determined to try
the effect of sulphur yapor bath. The patient
was handcuffed in bath for half an hour at a
temperature of one hundred and thirty-six de-
erees When taken out and laid on a lounge he
was at first better, but fifteen minutes after, ex-
pired in horrible spasms. He leaves a wife and
children The deceased was much esteemed.

Asa Packer, contrary to what was stated by
several of our exchanges, and repeated in these
columns. has not Withdrawn from the contest
for the Gubcrnatorial nomination. Ii is limited
that the story was started by men in the interest
of other candidates while By others ii is openly
charged that some Oyer-ZealOus friend of Gene
raj Cass originated the report purposely to get
Packer delegates 10 90 for Cass. But there is
no truth in the rumor, and as we repeated the
story we now do our share in recalling it. We
thought Mr.. Packer exhibited great shrcwdness
in Withdrawing from the contest, giving him
credit for business sagacity in seeing the hope
lessncss of future Democratic success. As we
were mistaken, and ''Ephraim is welded to his
