POLITICAL ORAToRY.-That was
very good speaking to which several
hundred Republican and other voters
listened with marked attention in the
Court House yesterday evening
The Grafton of Mr.. Thomas Hodnett
was string and eloquent address.

aud iudiciously illuminated with
striking and managed meta
pbors. We predict for this youthful
orator a brilliant career as an ex-
FOUNDER Of the principles Of Republi-
canism and an advocate Of freedom
and human equality. Capt. A II.
Bushnell spoke for sometime, evnc-
ing a thorough aud accurate under
standing OF the political questions Of
the day Congressman Barber utter
cd some graat truths in his vivid, for
chile manner, and demonstrated how
ytally important it is just now for
Republicans to stand faithfully by,
and work diligently with their party.
The Hon, Mr. Holloway was called
on, and vociferously cheercd as he
rose TO remark that he was no orator,
and would not presume to say any.

those who had preceded him were
yet ringing in the ears Of the audi
tors Mr.. H., it is true, may not be
"an orator as Brutus is" but we
doubt whether a more active and in
fuential worker than he has ever en-
tered the capitol building Of our pro-
gressive State. Something more
than fine phrases are necessary to
manage the affairs and make the
laws of a republican commonwealth.
The Hon. w p. Dewey also spoke
briefly. Mr.. Geo. Clementson being
loudly called for, assumed his per-
pendicular and, with great good hui

until next Fall. and moved that the
meeting adjourn off-hand, which it
did without any stupid formality or

The most remarkable feature In iinan.
Cial circles, yesterday, was q further do
cline in government securities In New
York, which probably caused the fall 10
gold. Why government bonds should de.
cline, when all kinds Of railroad and
miscellaneous stocks are advancing, It Is
difficult to tell. Anything which disturbs
the usual course Of financial affairs Is cal
culated TO unsettle values, and the negotl.
alton Of the new national loan would do
this il the money was to pass into tho U.
s. Treasury for the new bonds; but doubt.
less every dollar which has been subsCrlh-
ed will DO paid in SEQ bonds, so that this
operation ought not to affect values. The
secret Of the decline will, we think, be found
In the pressure To sell 5.20 bonds, under
the impression that tho new loan will
be successful, and consequently the $50
bonds of 1862 that arc not exchanged for
the now per cents. will be called in and
paid of in coin, thus causing decline in
gold through the surplus OF It, which will
be thrown upon the market, when they
will be able 10 buy tho new 5per cent
bonds at better advantage than they
would now realize by exchanging their
6.20s for them. II the new loan Is sue
cessful to the extent Of enabling the Sec
retary ol the Treasury to call in the 5.20s
of 1869, it would doubtless cause decline
in gold, but even il we were now upon
gold basis the . per cent bonds Of the
government would be worth the premium
in gold which they now command in cur.
renCy, and with the current easy money
market We can see no good reason for the
present decline. w ' = ~ -------
