FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEeRAPH,(

Monday May 81, 1869. :
The Money market to-day has so far been devoid
Of all points Of interest The demand for currency
is unusually limited and the banks and private
lenders appear disposed TO stimulate 1t by reduc-
tion of the regular market rates. Notwithstanding
the activity of the Stock Board. and unusually
large investments in real estate which daily draw
of considerable portion OF lOanable Capi-
tai, the market is Oyersupplied with currency,
and heavy transactions in loans aud discounts are
being made at little half the usual figures.
This will continue to be the case doubt, until
such times as the supply and demand are more
evenly balanced At present thesent there is great
discrepancy which gives rise to the irregular tone of
the market.
Call loans may be quoted at 5a7 per cent, and dis
counts at the banks and in the outside market at
Gas per cent the lower figure prevailing for first
class mercantile paper.
The Government bond market shows increased
firmness and prices are advancing. The Gold mar
ket is less active and excited. The premium at
| l2 M. was 1887, being decline OF "a on opening
price.
The Stock market was dull this morning, but
prices were without material change. Nothing was
done in State loans. City SKIES sold at 102G02S for
| the new issue.
| Reading Railroad was neglected; 49T was bid
without finding sellers. Pennsylvania Railroad was
rather stronger, selling as high as 5sI, b. Cata-
wissa Railroad improved, selling at 36 for the pre-
| and Lehigh Valley Railroad at 5656.
Canal shares are firm, but the volume of business
was light Sales OF Lehgh Navigation at 3TG371i,
b. o., with 1879 bid for Schuykill Navigation pre-
| ferred.
In Coal and Bank shares the sales were unim-
pOrtaut, 23924 bid for North America and 1885,
for Philadelphia.
Passenger Railway shares were unchanged. 40 was
offered for Second and Third; 1871 for Thirteenth
and Fifteenth; As for Chestnut and Walnut and 27

Decision of the supreme Court of Tennessee
The Right to Vote and the Powers of the

The hlght 10 vote ana the POwers oil the
Governor.
MEMPHIS, May 30.-The following is a synop-
sis of a decision of the Supreme Court at
Brownsville, yesterday:
The State VS.. Staten.-In this case the unani-
nous opinion of the Court was to-day delivered
by Henry X. Smith, the Judge holding that the
right to vote was a clear legal right, secured to
citizens under the constitutional bill of rights of
Tennessee that the elective franchise stood on
as high ground as the right of property, or any
other right secured by the Constitution; that this
right once vested could only be taken away by
due process of law; that power attempted to be
conferred upon the Governor by acts of the
Legislature, to set aside registration for
frauds, Irregularities, or other causes is
judicial power which cannot be con-
ferred upon or exercised by the Executive of
teis State, and for that reason all his acts and
proclamations in setting aside registrations in
counties and parts of counties are absolutely
null and void, and holders of certificates granted
by previous registration commissioners are en-
titled to vote by reason of the same. Judge
Shackleford delivered a separate opinion con-
curing with the decision, but went further and
attempted to justify the opinion in the case of
Redly VS.. Sperbook, holding the franchise acts
unconstitutional. The other judges reserved
constitutionality of the several franchise acts.
Decoration Day at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 3l.-Thc ceremony of
decorating soldiers graves took place yesterday

We read frequently in the cable news
from Spain Of "the Carlists." They occu-
pied much of our foreign news column
thirty-1ye years ago. At that tlmc Don
Carlos, Count dc Montemolln, was claiming
tho throne OF Spain, as tho heir Of his
brother, Ferdinand VII, then Just dead. The
regal power was lodged In the hands Of
Maria Christina, widow of Ferdinand, as re.
gent for her daughter, tho ex-Queen Isu-
bella. Don Carlos and his partisans have
meyer surrendered his claim to the throne,
and though unsuccessful In several attempts
have been waiting many years for "some
thing to turn up" without even meeting the
success Of Mr.. Mlcawber. The present at,
tempt Is probably but the flicker OF a dying
aame, amer which tho Carlists will go out
forever.

A curious aspect has Just been given 10 the
question Of the cotton supply. Just as the
association for promoting this object 10 hold
ing Its usual meeting, merchant writes US
that Manchester alone Is responsible for the
scarcity Il sufiers. With all its wealth, en-
terprise and confidence 4 has never invested
Q penny In the cotton field. The conclusion
OF tho outside world obviously ID that those
who know most about cotton planting can
mover pay. Their caution acts In othsrs, and
cotton culture ID discouraged. II the Nan
chester spinners would establish Q cotton
company, with large capital employed in
the heart Of India, things would be- dlifercut;
but they stand aloof and refuse 70 risk their
money In adventure, and when costoa eomes

commoudation, though Interesting TO grow

not tho remark strengthen the Argument
that the same people osght NOT 10 DO BUYERS

pence per pound now brines ton pence, and
Il may be many years before II d lower than
seven pence. II this means that seven pence
would rcmunerats and aatisfy Lancashire,
tho mighty question may b near lie solu-
ten. Remembering that the cardisal ques-
ton u price, and that cotton stuffs can DO
sold TO the markets Of the world, and
that the money TO reconpenss the grower
and spinner comes from the pocket Of the
weaver, 1t Is useless TO grow and spin II II
cannot DO sold In quantity and 1t price to
remunerate all eoncernod.
