The President to-day nominated George

Line and staff
Now that the Naval Appropriation bill has
been passed by the Senate and returned to the
House, an effort will be made to tack on Mr..
Stevens bill in relation to staff rank. This
effort will be made with the approval of the
House Naval Committee, and the House having
been canvassed on the subject, it is believed the
effort will succeed. Otherwise the difference
between the line and staff will have to remain
unsettled until the next session of Congress-

way dock has been quarred out of the solid
rock, and extends northwest and southeast from
the river bank.

WANTING CAPITAL.
Another Version of the MnrysyiIre Rio,

The Harrisburg Topic of yesterday says:-
Never was the Democratic party more in want
OF capital than at the present day No drowning
man ever caught with more fearful agony at
floating straws than does the Democratic press
Their last attempt at a sensation in their favor
in this neighborhood must excite the ridicule If
not the disgust, of every intelligent Democrat
bar-room fight between some drunken white
men and half-sober blacks has given them mat
ter for at least month to come. This little
melee is published with flaming heading, in
large capitals, in the Democratic journals as a
Horrible negro riot at MarYsYille." ''How
negroes spent the Fourth of July at the State
Capital" ''White men shot down." 'Volleys
fired from guns furnished by the State"
Then again comes Terrible Negro Riot in
Harrisburg on the Fourth of July Night" and
paragraph after paragraph to the same effect,
the whole of which originated in the heated
brains of the writers, and is without scarcely
shadow OF foundation ia truth. Was ever a
party put 20 such desperate straits The truth
is, nobody wes hurt at Marysville, nor was there
anything there deserving the name of a riot A
quarrel occurred about whisky in barroom be-
tween some white Democrats and Republican
negroes, in which one was hurt 1t would be
di ficult to tell which party was most to blame
in this drunken squabble that amounted to
nothing. And SO far as the negro riot in Harris
burg is concerned that is purely Imaginary
Cannot our Democratic neighbors get up new
sensation? Upon the whole, the negroes be-
haVed themselves on the Fourth of July in Har-
risbprg and neighbOrhood quite as well as did
their white neighbCrs. That is the fact of the
case.

times during the day, there was not time to
finish the match, which was accordingly drawn.
Shortly a1ter II o'clock the st. Georges con-

creased his score to 80, when he put back one
TO the bowler, and shortly afterwards Stead was
bowled by Mcintyre. The total of the inning
was 146, just topping the Germantown's inning.
The Germantown commenced their second
inning with Mcintyre and Large, both of whom
began to score SO quickly that Butter6eld was

effect, Large being b0Wled with the score at Al.
Barclay was next man in, and again the runs
came very fast till SO was on the telegraph

Most of the interest in the money market is
just now concentrated on gold and Government
bonds, which have been disturbed by rumors of
complications between France and Prussia,
growing out of the question of the succession
to the Spanish throne, which the latter is
anxious to secure for a German prince. The
result upon the New YORK market was to ad-
vance the premium on gold, at the opening
vance was not sustained showing that little
faith was placed in the probability of a Euro
pean war resulting from it. The decline in gold
late in the day was also aided by the passage of
the Currency bill through the House, the mea-
sure being generally considered one of contrac-
tion, though we fail to see why it should be so
regarded.
The loan market continues fairly active. but
easy TO borrowers, as usual. Rates show no
change.
Gold continues active and unsettled. small
holders being anxious to sell owing to the un-
certainty of its future course. The sales opened
at 111}s, advanced to 1121l, and closed about
noon at 112, an advance of 55 on last nights

Government bonds have broken loose from
gold, owing to causes above referred to, aud all
the issues save the 5s and currency 6s show
decline of about 3 per cent.
At the Stock Board there was fair amount
