There is steady demand for money to-day,
and the improvement is particularly noticeable
on time loans, indicating revival in general
business. Our national banks are not. IL is sup
posed, very strong In reserves and In anticipa-
tion OF pressure at the beginning of the next
month they are calling in some of their cheap
loans with a view of obtaining better terms.
Some persons are predicting q stringency to-
wards the end of the month, but in the absence
of artificial influences this is not probable.
We quote call loans at 5GD6 per cent. and dis
counts at Cos per cent. for first-cass mercantile
acceptances.
Gold is dullf but strong. The sales opened at
1925, declined to HIS, and stood at about 112
at noon.
Government bonds are steady, in sympathy
with coin, and prices show no material change.
The stock market was fairly active, and prices
were well maintained. In State loans we notice
sales of the skies, first series, at 1887, and
coupon war loan at 10l%. City skies sold at
1909 for the old and ut 102 for the new bonds
Sales of Lehigh gold loan at s9I. eI .0aH
In Reading Railroad sales were light at 4S1ICD

high Valley Railroad at 54S, and Camden and
Amboy Railroad at 11415.
In Canal stocks the only sales were in Lehigh
at 313s, b. o. In the balance Of the list the
transactions were unimportant.

In the course of longer discussion which
followed, hr. Peters, of Maine. one Of the Re-
publican members who lately visited South

Committee of Elections hereif could. Iun-

over four thousand votes; that he is entitled
to the prima tdcie election, but that he is not
eligible. have maintained before this House
more than once that his ineligibllity ought to
be removed, but have been voted down.
Now, understand the committee to say that
Mr.. Wallace is entitled to the seat, not tupon
the merits, because they have not been eX-
amined but prin,a .tdcie. 1 do not agree tn
that view. The law is against it; the prece-

this side Of the House will have the courage to
stand up here against the report of that COM
mite, and say that, as matter Of law, Mr.
Wallace is not entitled to prima tacie seat. ;
At last vote was reached on the following
resolution as substitute for the one original
ly reported by the majority Of the Election
Committee:
Resolued, That W. D. Simpson Is not entitled,
under resolution of March, 1869, to seat from
the fourth district of South Carolina, by rea-
son of inellgiblity; and that A. S. Wallace Is
not entitled to such seat because he was not
Shy the greatest number of votes duly elect
ed" by the people of that district.
This was adopted as an amendment by l03
yeas to 73 nays, and not voting 81. Ben
Butler here stepped in and moved to lay the
resolution, as thus amended, on the table, and
it was carried mem con., it being understood
that he would offer the following, which he
did, and which was adopted:
Resolred, That the claims of A. s. Wallace
! and VIM. d. Simpson to seat In this Con-
grcss be again referred to the Committee OF
Elections, to be examined and reported on
upon the merits Of the case as presented.
This explains ITSELF If the committee de-
eide Simpson ineligible, the question arises
shall Wallace have the seat? The impression
now is that both will be thrown out and new
election ordered. q.

AS the c0loreQ members are not sa,lSned with

would recommend to the State Superintendent
OF Education that he purchase and cause to be
distributed small school history introduced in
the colored schools of Virginia by the Freedmen s
Bureau. This history inculcated the doctrine Of
social civil and political equality, and narrated
several anecdotes to show that the great men Of
the earth endorsed the doctrine, (perhaps Cover
nor Scott got from this book his fact that the
Emperor Scrvius, who said "LaborenluS'' was a
colored man, Among these anecdotes was one
stating that after long days march General
George Washington rolled up In his two blankets
and went to sleep. During the night he awoEe,
and. observing his faithful colored servant John
sitting by the fire, asked him why he did not go
to bed. To which John replied it was because he
had no blankets. 1t was bitter cold night, and
Washington told John to come to bed with him,
which John did, slept warm, and ever afterward

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
In the House today c. ID. IIayne introduced a
resolution providing that the Committee on the
Judiciary be requested to report, rs early prac-
ticable, what action they have taken on rcsou-
tion authorizing them to prepare an amendment
to the constitution extending the right Of suffrage
to females. Richardson moved that the resolu-
tion be laid on the table, which was adopted. 1t
would be natural to suppose that the colored
men who have so recently been endowed with
suffrage, would in their delight at possessing
treasure so long and ardently coveted be willing
to accord the same privilege TO all without regard
to distinction Of sex, race or color. But not SO.
'Female suff age' is frequently canvassed by the
colored men in tho "lobby," and there seems TO
be but one sentiment, that they had enough to do
to m,nd Their own business-said business, ac-
cord ng 10 popula b.l.ef, being cooking, tending
the babes and the house.

THE FENIAN PRIsoNERs.-The Free
Press says that General John O'Neil and
Col Brown, two of the late Fenian pris-
oners, arrived in Burlington from Wind
sor Sunday. Gen. O'Neil appears in ex-
cellent health and spirits, and seems to
think that he has been moderately dealt
with as he could expect. He now intends
to publish his review of the last Fenisn
movement. This he would have done
earlier in the day, only that be feared it
might bear as testimony in the case of
several prisoners who have not been tried.
Gen. O'Neil will spend several days in
that city, as the guest of Mr.. j. Bullahsn,
residing on Cherry street. His wife and
two children have been in Burlington
during his confinement at Windsor.

some purpose on a journey down the riv-
TT, put up for the night with Mr. Stevens
In the course of the evening their forlorn
condition was talked over, when they mu-

nothing could be done to remedy their

Cynthia Hastings and Sophy Grout, re-

understood by the contrivers of this plot
that the two strangers from Vermont
should accompany them back to their
homes.
La anticipation Of possible emergency
it was deemed advisable that Mrs Squire
West should also be in attendance, to
play the part of umpire, in case both gen
