THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The following extracts show the state OF the New
lork money market yesterday
From the Herald.
although the apprehension is so general that the
fall activity in money will be unusually severe This
season. the rates call loans continue to snow any,
thing but strngency, the figures ranging from seven
down TO five per cent, with the greater number of
transactions at six and five, the latter being the eX-
ceptional rates on Governments to prime houses.
Already there is a disposition to prepare for the
active season, and time loans are being engaged for
periods OF thirty and sixty days. In quotable In
stance the rate was seven per cent. plus comms-
sion of one per cent. This commission is, it seems,
perfectly legal, the agent efTecting the loan being
entitled to it like real estate and mortgage brokers,
as provided by law and custom. or course the
lenders can make such arrangements as they please
with the agents for the division of the commission.
Owing to the recent severe warning against usury il
is probable that this system of loan brokerage Will
be quite in vogue during the fall. AS it is the
lenders are in the majority. They refuse to buy
paper, especially long dates, and hence there is
plethora OF funds on call The banks are still ship
ping currency; but the demand has fallen of from
per cent. discount
"The Government market was very steady and
dull Prices fell OF "a to 4 per cent at the last
board owing to a decline in Londcn, where the
1868 have reacted 20 S2Z6 but the trmness in the
gold market offset this drawback, and prices re-
covered in later street dealings The home market
was rendered susceptible to lower quotations from
the fact that before the recent advance in London
and Frankfort bonds had been shipped this way aud
they may be soon expected in this market The
amount IN comparison with that ahoat is quite
nominal, and hence the fact had little effect on
prices. An advance or decline on either side OF the
Atlantic is now so sharply watched that quotations
are soon brought TO level. The ease in the money
market is favorable to the Dush side of the street,
but the Government market has had its share or
speculative interest during the past few weeks and
operators are directing their attention to more active
'FOreign exchange was steady with better de-
mand for bills. The recent decline in gold mas in
duced great deal OF purchasing by merchants, VINO
regard the situation 1rom a conservative point OF
view, ana think that gold, after so sharp decline,
must remain in the vicinity of its present hgure for
some time to come"

Tennessee Moderately TranauiI-The Schemes
of the Ex-PresIdent to Develop JOhnsonisti
PrinciDes-The Rights of the COlOred Mnn.
Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 25.-Affairs in Ten
nessee are about as quiet now as they have
ever been in its history. Intolerance or pro-
scription of any kind is almost unheard of and
batting the newspaper discussion concerning the
United States SenatOrship, and whether there vii
be n convention or not, the material interests
of the State mainly occupy the attention OF
the people. Andrew johnson will be in Nash
vile in day or two, on his way to Red Sulphur
Springs, in Macon county, where he proposes to
soiourn for a short time.
The county press in Middle and West Tennes-
see are generally averse to Johnsons Senatorial
aspirations. His visit to the springs in Middle
Tennessee is perhaps not so much to improve
the tone of his physical system as to infuse
healthy tone of Johnsonism into certain legisla-
tive individuals in this section of the State. The
statement of the New York World, which has
created comment in certain radical journals, that
the great majority of the people of Tennessee
seek to deprive the negro of his political rights,
is utterly groundless.
1t is doubtful if, in body of one hundred and
forty conservative legislators there are five men
| who would feel disposed to interfere with the
Tennessee.
A convention to amend the Constitution will
doubtless be called Immediately after the con-
| vening of the legislature although the opinion
obtains among the best lawyers of the State
that the Legislature has full authority in itself
| to make the necessary changes in the organic
| laws in relation to the removal of polit-
| cal disabilities from the whites now disfran-
| chised.

| conclusion as to which was the aggressor, white
| or negro. The quarrel seems to have started

men received wounds, and none were killed as
