Wall-Street Gambling.


The bulls and bears have had n busy time
of it the present week. Gold has been I'M
steady, and advanced on Thursday ten dol
lars in the hundred above what it had stood
at for some time. But the public seemed
little disturbed by it. 1t was not looked
upon as the sign of any new national COM
plication. Rumors of entanglements of our
relations with Spain were actively circu-
lated, but really had very little effect, we
imagine. The whole matter was limited to
the schemes and tricks Of the gamblers. 1t
had been announced some days before that
a grand combination of capitalists had been
formed for running up the price Of gold,
and Mr.. Boutwell, was called on to enter
the arena and put the bulls to flight, but
Mr.. boutwell,, though called, came not,
and whether the result Of the combi-
nation aforesaid, or not, we see that the
market has been operated by some power
| full agency.
The corporation stocks have been used by
the gamblers as actively as gold. Some of
| the leading railroad stocks vibrated aston
ishingly. In one day New York Central
ran down from 1881 to 17G, rallied again to
1914, and rcceded to 1S5, and there rested for
the night. All sorts of rumors were set
afloat concerning the corporations and their
stocks. Among those affecting the Central
it was said that Commodore VANDERBILT
had died suddenly, although he had only a
short hour or so previously been seen to de-
part for Albany to perfect grand consoli-
dation scheme.
The sensation amongst the gamblers, big
and little, was immense. The crowd SWaycd
before the doors of the Stock and Gold
Boards. The changes in the values of gold
and stocks established Il sort Of lottery, and
people bought freely, TO profit by the
changes. OF course the small cobble-Stoncs
must have been sorely pressed or crushed
between the great boUlders in this financial
agitation.
This gambling is a national evil, but one
inseparable, we suppose, from the present
system of national finance. As long as it
exists there will be unprincipled combna-
tons, with all the arts and tricks of the
adopts in financial swindling. Still the Co
vernment has some power in the premises,
and il ought to be eXerted for the benefit OF
the country.
p. Son yesterday gold opened in the
forties, fell to the thirties, rose into the
siIties, and again fell down into the thirties-
probably because Mr.. BOUTWELL, ordered
four millions Of dollars i'll gold to be thrown
upon the market, and the currency received
for it to be also thrown into circulation by
using it in purchasing bonds.

T" IDEAS advocated in the Wheeling address
| "were about right
It is certainly gratifying that this new
proof is added to show the persistence OF
General GRANT in the course which ne
started upon in reference to Virginia recon
struction. The case of West Virginia is a
marked one. 1t is, like Tennessee, a state.
The Federal Government has nothing to do
with its oppressive laws-no supervisory au-
thority over them. The prescription there
is so complete and sweeping that probably
third of the people are denied all partici'
patton in the Government save the bearing
of its burthens. The more intelligent and
lust portion of the unproscribed cannot
longer favor such a Government, and a
strong party has been organized to oppose
and, if possible, abolish its odious discriml-
nations. General GRANT gives to that party
his favor and encouragement, declaring
their course "right and proper: "ds-
" elimination on account Of participation IN
"the rebellion should no,c cease"
To this policy General GRANT has ad-
hered with his peculiar pertinacity. lnone
instance, where it was adverse to per-
sonal preference THAT for WELLsl, enter
tanned at least for q time, ne faithfully sus-
tanned his policy of liberality. This last IN
stance puts beyond all question his determl-
nation to maintain it in all the States where
odious determinations against personal
rights exist, and, furthermore, to carry IL
out in the Government by the removal oil
all disabilities at an early day. To him,
then, are due the grateful acknowledgements
of those under the ban, or who have been
relieved mainly through his conslderate
measures. Since the war the only effectual
step towards moderating the policy OF pun
ishments and disabilities of those who par
ticipated or sympathized with the late re-
sistance to the Government has been taken
by General GRANT, and he firmly pursues 1t
with consistency every way credltable TO
him.

"Both the Richmond Wing and the Rich
mond Dispatch are in favor of the election
of United States senators by the Legisla.
ture of Virginia at its preliminary and pro-
yisional session. 1t is not at all certain after
all that the election will not be made.-Ale1'
and,iG Gazette.
And why not elect them? We cannot SO
much as ask Congress to "admit us to re-
presentation" until we elect our repre-
sentatives; and that body will, we fear, re-
fuse to look at the credentials Of our mem
bers elect to the lower House until our SEN
tors also show themselves. Read the recon
struction acts. They never speak of Virgil
mia as outside of the Union. They only pro-
mise to admit us "to representation in Con.
gress" when we shall have performed GER

How admit representatives who have not
been elected? We trust to the common
sense of the Legislature to relieve us from

The New York Herald, referring to the
number Of oatlis which have to be taken by
the Governor Of Virginia, pronounces that

ridiculous. Very true and the way to get rid
of them is to try pacifcation and quiet for a
little while. Conformance here, for in
stance, with laws which we cannot abolish,
end abstinence from clamor against that
which we cannot alter, will soon dispose the
Federal power to discard test-oaths alto

The Boud Question.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that contracts made
in Confederate currency AT the time
when no other was in use, will be en-
forced for the value, at date of contract,
in United States standard. This is a
highly important decision, and is found
ed upon the general principle of equity.
The Court believe that there should be
reciprocity Of values exchanged, and
no more. Under this principle, those
who bought our bonds when they were
worth forty cents on the dollar, are
only legally entitled to the sum paid in
the general standard Of value 1t would
be great outrage, on the part of the
United States, to apply one doctrine to
private and another to public indebted
ness, and we have no idea that they will
do so. Ifthe Supreme Court will not
enforce debts at par, made in Confeder
ate currency, how much less will they
be inclined to do it when made in
United States currency' This decision
has an important bearing on the legal
tender issue, and shows how it is likely
to be accepted by the courts.-EHgHirer

How TO VIA lie EnaigranIs.

The Weston Democrat makes the fol-
lowing forcible statement, which we
commend to the consideration of Gov
eruor STEVENSON. We do not envy the
Republican who can read it and feel
proud of the state of facts it suggests
How TO MAKE EMIGRANTs.-The
hardest case of disfrauchisement, under
Corley's administration, We believe, is
that of Henry McCally, Esq. Long be-
fore the formation of Lewis county, this
gentleman moved to what is now Bat
telle township, where he has resided for
6s wears. He is now 20 years Of age,
and is, of course, very feeble and is in
bad health. His character is unhlem-
ished, and in the community he stands
as high as a man can, yet the infamous
rasc ais, knowing that it was physically
impossible for him to travel, notlhed
him, with the rest of his neighbors, ana
he not appearing, his name was strlck'
en- off.
In recent conversation, the old man
said that he now intended "to go to
Kentucky, where two of my sons reside,
and seek grave among strangers"
And so the poor old, decrepit man,
whose once sprightly form is bowed be.
meath the weight of years-whose hsir
has been whitened by the frost of eighty
winters, is driven by the devilish ma.
lipnity of one man to leave the cher.
ished scenes Of his childhood-the we'll
loved home of his manhood, and the old
hearthstone, around which cling the
memories of long and well spent life
the graves of his kindred, and the land
of his nativity and seek among stran
gers that freedom which is here denied
=. This is but one case-of how the tools
4 81 Stevenson make emigrants.

Rexiatrnfion Re.acts.

lFrom the Weston DemocratD
CORLEYIsM.-We have received an
interesting letter from Wslkersville, in
which Corley's outrageous conduct on
the Board of registration is fully venti-
lated. 1t appears that HONEST men
have been so much shocked by his
course, that they have renounced for
ever the party to which he belongs.
Fifteen men of the Radical faith can be
counted at one election precinct in Bat
telle township, who are disgusted with
his conduct, and will never hereafter
co operate with the party to which he
belongs. This is the equivalent of 81
votes for the Democracy, which over
tons the 2S disfranchised by Corley.
The other precinct in the same town
ship has performed the same service to
the cause of TRUE Republicanism. Thus
is Corley being repudiated by his own
party in bis own township.
