There is o close working of the loan market
again to-day, though there was only moderate
demand for money, and that chiefly for specula-
tive purposes. Ia this respect there is a marked
contrast between our market and that of New
York, the latter having recovered its accus-
toned ease with an abundance of loanable capi-
tai capital accessible to all on good security.
The rates there are fully per cent. lower than
here for all classes of loans. There is a fair
supply at the banks, but apparently little sur
plus, judging by the conservative course they
are now pursuing.

severe but Just.

SCNCAC OhAS
We clip the following from the New
York Tribune of the 4th:
To the Edior Of the Tribune:
SIR: find this statement in the Tjri-
June CT Friday, April 1, and, did not
think you too old and serious for such q
joke, should suppose it was made for
the day:
''The House of Representatives yester-
day repealed with emphasis an attempt to
DELAY the swearing in of one of the mem
beers elect from Texas because he as q
Democrat. The entire delegation elect
ed to each House was sworn in the day
after the State was recognized as recon-
structed. Every passing hour weakens
the spirit of prescription and vengeance
and smooths the way to Universal Am
nesty."
How in so respectable journal as
yours, such a paragraph could be admit
ted, is incomprehensible. l put before
the House the evidence that, in public
speech, Capt. Conner, member elect from
a district in Texas, had declared that he
had beaten with a cOwhide cOlOred sol
diers under his command since the war
and that, when called before a court of
INQUIRY. he had bribed the same soldiers
to commit perjury, and swear that they
had forgot that he had whipped them,
by which he escaped the just punishment
of his crime. The member did not deny
that he had SO declared in public speech
to get. himself elected, nor did he deny
that he had whipped the soldiers under
his command with cOwhide.
The House refused to investigate this
fact, because some leading gentlemen of
the House declared, in effect, that if q
man had committed murder before he was
elected, there is no power in the House to
exclude him; so that upon that doctrine,
if Booth had escaped COrbett's bullet, and
had presented himself as elected from any
district in Virginia, he would have to be
admitted.
If you desire that the Tribune should
be right, you will publish this; otherwise
not. am, very truly, your friend and
servant. Benz. F. BUTLER.
WASHINGTON, April 2, 1870.
Renlarks.-Gen. Butler, we will pre-
sumo, thinks he objected to Capt. Con-
ner's admission as a member purely on
moral grounds, and would have objected
lust the same had Capt. G. been Repub-
iicau. We judge him mistaken on both
points-judge that C.'s perverse politics
were the real impulse to BIS opposition,
and the alleged negro whipping only the
| weapon which came to his hand and was
| used with the utmost possible effect.
Others, being aware of the facts, will
form their own conclusions. They had
our report of the action of the House al
the same time with our comment.
We certainly believe that the House
acted judiciously and decided wisely in
the premises. If the character OF every
member elect is to undergo preliminary
scrutiny and approval before he is ad-
mitted to his seat, the organization of the
House must prove a slow business hereat-
ter. We prefer the risk of Wilkes Booths
election to the anarchy which such prin
ciple must inaugurate. = Ed.

THE SWEDES.
From the Memphis Appeal.

We had the pleasure of meeting Pastor
Uils Anderson, of the Lutheran church,
who is here in company with Mr.. Peter
son and with the large number of Swedes,
who came down for Major DeVassa, and
of which number he has to-day sent out
to plantations over two hundred, and also
placed several very fine girls in private
families in the city.
The demeanOr of these SWedes is very
strong in contrast with that of large par
ties of any other people we have ever
met. Not one of them has shown any
sign of intemperance or excess, are quiet
and courteous, and respectable in looks
and behaviour. The energy and policy of
Major De Vassa in the management and
distribution of this large body of stran-
gers, when their services are so much
needed and will do so much for the de-
| velopment of our resources, and furnish
us with good and reliable citizens, should
meet full encouragement.
| Pastor Anderson has the entire conf
dence of his people, and his word is law
to them, and we think him fully entitled
TO their confidence, and Mr.. Peterson
who is the Actuary of the scandinavian
Emigrant Company, at Chicago, is very
intelligent, clever gentleman. We con
graduate these gentlemen upon the sue
cess of their first effort at this place an'
heartily recommend them to our friends

PARTICULARS OF THE DUEL

From the Madrid Correspondence London Times.
Lots were drawn for choice of ground,
and they fell to Enrique. They were
again drawn for first fire, and second
time they fell to him. The firing signal
agreed on was three distinct claps OF the
hand by one of the seconds, a slight in
terval being between each clap, answer
ing to the Spanish 'tprep0rerl, " "Gp1t'1-
ten, y ''fitegO," or, as we say in English,
'emake ready" ''present," ''fire. " At
ten PAGES distance they commenced.
Enrique fired his first shot in the air.
Montpensier initiated the example.
Somewhat wildly Enrique fired his second
shot, which went by Montpensier's bead
by the right side, so close that he distinct
" heard the whlz of the ball. Montpen-
sier's second shot struck the butt end OF
Enrique's pistol, and, splitting in two,
one part striking the collar of Enrique's
coat. and the other his left shoulder, but
without piercing the cloth. Before fir
| ing his first shot, Enrique called Senior
Rubio, one of his seconds, who
was also medical man, to him, delivered
him his watch and some private messages
for his family, and said these words 4:
'tlIontpcnsicr otind Ia puaterid, q 50
no Ie dog, preSjent0 que me mdtd!
| (''Montpensier is bcttering his aim, and If
| don't give it him have presentiment
he will kill me- Then placing himself in
! attitude he fired, but failed to strike his
adversary. Well would it have been fol
the seconds if they had interfered before
| this. Both cOmbatants had proved them
| selves brave men, as bravery is under
stood here, and both had complied so far
with the claws of honor" thai they might
well have ceased the fray. Well would il
have been for Montpensier if he
had generously refrained from avail,
ing himself of his third turn
But his blood was up, the cousin
he hated, and who hated him, was before
him. With deliberate GOODNESS, as STATED
by an eye witness, Montpensier took dead
Iy aim, and the next instant Enrique was
stretched on the ground. A bleeding
wound on the right side of the head, be
tween the temple and the ear, showed
where the ball had entered. The death
rattle was in his throat, and In three
minutes he expired, being completely III
sensible during that interval. MOntpen
sier's agony on learning the result was In
tense, SO much so that he thrust his
pocket handkerchief into his mouth anC
bit it fiercely, as also one of his fingers.

THOSE FENIAN ARMS IN WEIR
MONT.
From the Montreal Witness.


1t has been reported to us, on appar-
emily reliable authority, that quantity OF
arms which the Fenians had at Underhill,
near Essex Junction, VT, have recently
been sent nOrthward by teams, to be de-
posted, as is supposed, near the frontier.
This movement has been carried on chief
ly by night, and has occasiOned good
deal of talk about an approaching Feman
raid upon Montreal inits present supposed
defenceless state. Ne men are spoken OF
as mastering, and consequently no imme-
date movement is anticipated, but 1t Is
supposen that preparations are making toI
future movement, and it is suggested
that some person be sent out by our gov
eminent to look about him and report.
This information appears to us too vague
to warrant even the small expenditure OF
sending q man to recOnnoiter; but, II
there be any thing afoot, our friends on
the frontiers will doubtless give US prompt
information.
