New York Money Marker.

New YORK money Market.
New YORK, October %.
The chief feature of Wall street this
morning was the increased activity in
money engineered by the Withdrawal Of
some currency from the market, The
chief party to this scheme was unlver,
sally understood to be the Bank Of
Montreal which sold heavily Of gold yes
terday, Withholding the currency from
the market; the object being to bear
stocks. Rates of interest were ad-
vanced to per cert currency, and Z
per cent gold. The effect was slight
and merely temporary; the..rate reacting
at the close to 6@7 per cent. currency.
STERLING-Strong at 1901.
GOLD-Weak; opened at llli and
closed at llls. Borrowing rates flat to
l-64; carrying rates 2@3 per cent.
Clearances, $99, 100000.
GOVERNMENT STOCKS - Dull
and heavy. The Treasurer disbursed
1856, 1873 interest. Coupons of 1881 at

could not have been 10000 men liable
toenrohment an Hthis district unless it
had a population Of about 100000.
When this was pointed out by me, it
was said in answer not only that the
district had q large population, but that
il was rapidly increasing in numbers
Those who are. parading the census re-
turns to show how small the popula-
ton of this district is, then demanded
that this enrolment should be enforced
at the point Of the bayonet. They
called us traitors merely because We
asked a scrutiny into the action Of the
officials. At length the case was so
gross that an adjustment was forced,
and the enrolment cut down to about
10000 men. Now, this implied popu-
lation Of nearly 100000 in the district
| ask you to look at the enrolment and
the census returns as they confront each
other. Both were made under oath,
both were defended as right; one i'm
piled population Of nearly 100000, and
the other of little more than 100000.
| ask you to look into the columns of
the journals which defended an en-
rollment, which, if the census be hon
est, called for more than are living in
a district, including aliens, the aged,
infrm, and others not liable to duty.
Then look at these men, again, who
come before you and delare that there
are not as many voters in the dirtrict as
before they said there were men liable
to military duty-who now say that
there were not one-third as many men
to be enrolled as they insisted upon
few years since. They claim to stand
before,,you as men fighting fraud and yet
they convict themselves of being guilty,
either in upholding their enrolment or
defending the census returns, Of the
foulest frauds recorded in the history OF
our country.
MINISTER'S OF THE GOSPEL
Were persuaded to put forth false
statements, mingled in with the scared |
truths of religion, and to upbraid US
because we sought to shield portion
of our people from cruelty and wrong. |
| do not complain OF things said or done
in the excit ement and bitterness grow
ing out of condition Of civil war.
But invoke fairminded Republicans,
whether clergymen or laymen, to think
well before they suffer those who have
mislead them in the past to mislead
them again. They came before you, in
effect, saying all that ~c told you
about the quotas Of the city Of New
York pas untrue Nevertheless these
statements served us a good turn. We
then asked you to denounce every man
as a traitor who did not hold six years
ago that the population Of New York
was much more than million. We
now ask you, after the city had six
years Of growth, to denounce that man
as friend of fraud who holds that its
population is equal to a million. | ask
all fair minded citizens if things are
safe and well in that country where
official statements and official actions
are not only grossly at war with each
other, but also at war with every prin-
ciple of justice, humanity and patriot
