FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
EVENING TELEGRAPH oFEIoE,l


There are very encouraging indications of a
speedy revival in trade, though it is perhaps too
late to expect that degree of activity which will
compensate for the too-long continued depres-
sion of the past. The class of business borrow
ers who have kept aloof from the loan market
hitherto by reason of the uncertainty which en-
cial questions of Importance in their bearings on
general trade are beginning to operate with
more freedom as these disturbing causes are
being removed, and the hope is again entertained
that business will henceforth move with some
thing like its accustomed celerity.
The market is in condition very favorable to
an active revival being abundantly supplied
with capital seeking employment In any safe
and remunerative channels. Call loans are
moderately active and easy at 5@6 per cent,
and discounts continue to range from 6G7 per
cent. for first-class business paper
Gold opened active and strong with sales at
113X, advancing to 114]4, and closing at noon
at 1141s.
Government bonds are in great demand, and
prices this morning show further advance OF
H@1 per cent
The stock market was very active, and prices
were higher. Small sales of City 6s, new, at
1929, and old at 102.
Reading Railroad was in great demand, and
sold up to 509s. Pennsylvania Railroad was
steady but quiet, with sales at 5815 Lehigh
Valley was taken at So and Camden and Amboy
at 122.
In Canal stocks there were sales of Lehigh at
3415@349s, and Morris preferred at 65.
Among the Bank shares there were sales OF
North America at 227 and Philadelphia at 1863.

and were again refused admission; Max then re-
ported TO Lieutenant Pritchard at the station the
particulars OF the afray; he was directed TO patrol
the beat Of Bird whom he was 20 notify to hunt up
the particulars; shortly after he returned to the
station and delivered nimsel INTO CUSTODY stating

The Other Side.
As in all similar cases. there are two sides OF
the story to be told. This morning we visited
the locality, and after some little search sue
ceeded in finding Mrs. McDonough who refused
to give any information. Whilst standing at
the door of her residence a lad picked up d
collar supposed to have belonged to the officer,
which was much rumpled, and piece of the
handle of a pair of nippers, thus showing that
there had evidently been severe struggle We
next visited the residence of Murtagh, aud from
his father obtained the following as the substance
of a statement made by Edward McDonough:-
was awakened by noise in the street, and rails
ing the window | saw the officer trying to arrest
Walsh. Murtagh told him (Walsh) TO go with the
officer, and advanced towards the latter. The ofcer
shouted to Murtagh not to come near him or ne
would shoot Murtagh replied 81 am going to help
you" then shouted to the officer not to shoot; II
he was not able to take his prisoner TO
TBs pVe no s Fe Just the then OSer tSe oeT seeo ed
and Murtagh fell Myself, wife, and daughter then
rushed down stairs, and found that both men were
shot. We then carried both into my house, and
Walsh died in short time. Just before the shot
was fired heard some one Of the two say, "You
needn't take us; we are all Democrats like your
self" I did not see either the officer or the de-
ceased on the ground at any time
AS is usual in such cases a bitter feeling exists
to the prejudice of the officer, some alleging
that he should not have shot BOTH and others
that he should not have shot either. The full
facts of the case will be brought ont at the
Coroners inquest, which will take place to-
morrow. DR.. Shapleigh will make the post
DlOrtem examination to-day.
The Wounds.
Both the young men were shot in the breast,
one on the right side and the other on the left.

At an early hour this morning General e. NJ.
Gregory, United States Marshal, accompanied
by Deputy Marshals Bernard, Beale, Murray,
and Ridgway, and Revenue Detectives Brooks,
Clark, Griffith, Hause, johnson, and Edridge,
made "forced march" on the Richmond whisky
district and succeeded in creating general
panic.
The officers have spotted certain parties for
some time past, but owing to the extreme vigilance
OF the Hibernans, many Of whom served an appren-
ticeship in the could Dart" at pulling the wool over
the eyes of the "constabuary," they were several
times foiled In attempted raids.
This morning, however, they hit upon novel
idea, and securing wagon loaded with
hay, they nt once carried their
Intentions into practice. Secreting themselves on
the top OF the wagon, and covering themselves with
hay, the team was driven right into the centre OF
the Milesian camp and before the now astonished
soHs OF Erin could utter Bdhust the officers were
upon them. The men gave leg bail but the daugh-
ters of the 'Ould Sod" stood their ground and gave
battle with tongues hand, and feet
Stones ratified round the heads Of the scouting"
party, and many female raised limb to nnict
sern punishment. "Dish-cloths" and "pratie-
mashers" were welded lively by muscular femi-
ninity, and for time the battle appeared to be in
their favor but at length the Officers rallied and the
strong minded and strODg-winded Milcsians were
overcome, and operations began.
The first place visited a distillery on Mon
mouth street. above Richmond, the contents of which
were seized. The ''raiders" then visited the sur
rounding Places and result captured four stills
and three worms, all new. sixty hogsheads of mash
which were found were destroyed, after which the
officers returned with their booty to the city.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.
the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The root of the bill is ineontestably the
desire to prevent arbitrary exercise of the
legal power of eviction. 30 long as the Irish
tenant is allowed to remain in his holding at
his present or at any reasonable rent, he
makes no complaint. If, when he gives up
possession to q successor, he is allowed to bar
gain with that successor for what these two
may agree the holding is worth to tenant
on such TERMS he obtains the further valued
privilege which is called Ulster tenant-right.
The source of the mischiefs that make legisla-
ton necessary, and of the sympathy which
MIR. Gladstone so vividly feels for the tenants,
is that in some cases the landlords
unjustifably refuse these privileges. The
matter in dispute, as we have thus
stated it, is very simple, but we believe
that Irishnen themselves will admit that it
embraces every point. The object of
legislation, therefore, ought to be to restrain
the comparatively rare exercise by the land
lord of rights which in some cases would be
oppressive. And since it is only the law that
gives him these powers, it is not only compe-
tent, but it ought to be easy, for the law to
deny them. To carry such design into effect
all that is strictly necessary is that the law
should define the cases in which hardship
would be experienced, and declare that in
such cases its powers in aid of eviction, or of
transferring possession, would be withheld.
And this, if done directly, is obviously mat
ter not involving obscurity or difficulty. We
have 40 intention of propounding a bill of
our own, but we think every one will see
that to enact that eviction shall not be
allowed in certain definite cases-such as
where the tenant had not been repaid the
value of improvements, or was not suffered to
transfer for valuable consideration a posses
sion for which he or his predecessors had
given such consideration, or where the pre-
sent rent should be hereafter raised above the
value at which the land may be estimated,
either by arbiters or in the Government valua-
tions--would have been q straightforward
and comparatively simple way of meeting the
case. The propriety of adopting merely
temporary remedies to what so many consider
temporary circumstances-such as enacting
that, save for non-payment of rent or sub
letting, no yearly tenant should be disturbed
at all for limited period-might also have
been as easily and as clearly raised for con-
sideration of Parliament.
But instead of these direct methods Of at
tanning his avowed end, Mr.. Gladstone has,
whether through apprehension of opposition
or moved by the subtilty of his own mind,
chosen indirect methods. He has tried to
leave, or, at least to seem to leave, every
right of property in the landlord, while ham
pering its exercise with a multitude of re-
straints, provisos, exceptions, penalties, and
! lawsuits. The first clause of the bill is in
semblance direct; it converts the Ulster Gus
| tom into law, but then II tells no one what
the Ulster custom is The next clause, hrsC
amended, and row for The present withdraw,
