ON CARONDELET STREET.

The action of the House, night before
last, astonished the sleepy brokers who
had gone to bed early, when they read the
announcement of it in the morning
papers. There had been suspicious Of
some such movement when the committee
made its report, but the street was IN
willing to believe that anything so serioas
was contemplated as the House bill at
tempts. Yesterday morning the cOnster-
nation was great, and large holders
anAiously asked what the Senate would
probably do-whether there was any pcs
sibility that such bill could finally pass?
They declared that if such should be the
case there was no security for any money
invested in enterprises existing by legis-
lative sanction and depending on rights
secured by statutory enactment. Others
maintained that the SlaughterEouse was
special case, inasmuch as the House
declares that its charter has been
forfeited, and directs the Attorney
General to proceed against it accord
ingly. The prevailing impression,
however, was that the bill is a violation
Of the plghted faith Of the State, and
that success in this attempt woEld
seriously affect all other stock resting for
security on similar Legislative acts. Tie
effect Of the action Of the House was. OF
course, 70 depress the stock, but not 70 so
great an extent as some timid people had
feared. Nevertheless, it sank to the
neiShborhood Of 20. It was said that
sales had been made below this figure,
but we could hear Of no authentic case.
At the board it was offered a: Il, against
Is! bid.
Lottery stock, it was supposed, would
suffer through sympathy with Slaughter
house, but this did not seem to be the
case. 1t was bid for at 629, but there
appeared to be 10 sellers. It is hardly
thought now that the Legislature will ''go
for this institution; at least, holders Of
the stock do not appear to be at all alarmed.
a new stock on the market is jefferson
City Gas stock, which has lately been
anxiously sought by inquirers, who seem
to have high opinion of its value. The
company is in good hands, and enjoys a
franchise which ought, under pruden.
management, to make its stock general
favorite.
Among the sales at the board last night
were 20 shares Lafayette Ban}; stock at
Al, and 90 new eight per cents at SOL.
The following were the bids and offers
at the board last night:

Z CONTROVERSY ABOUT LAWYERS.

As comment on the general tendency
Of Democracy to demoralize the people and
the sentiment Of the country, il is worthy
OF remark that every prominent Demo
cratic paper in the country has explained
to its readers that Mr.. David Dudley
Field obtained the victory in his late con-
test with Mr.. Samuel Bowles, Of the
Springfield Republican, on the subject Of
the responsibilities of lawyers. Here
is the case: Fisk and Gould used the
courts of New York to protect their frauds
in obtaining control of the Erie railroad.
They continued to use the courts to cover
their abuse of the revenues of the same
road. The stockholders were powerless
to prevent these frauds and abuses, and
the consequence was that their stock
deprecated from seventy-ive down to
forty-cents on the dollar. It is
admitted that Fisk and Gould
coGld not have succeeded in

The area of lowest pressure. which

SPEcULAToRs.-There was sensation in Wall

alleged conspiracy to affect the money market
and business of this city. The address of the
Judge and other particulars with regard to the
matter will be found in another part of this
paper. Whether this evil can be reached or
not through the Grand Jury and legal process
remains to be seen; but, whatever may be the
facts or the result of this movement, every good
citizen will give Judge Bedford credit for
vigilance and for his endeavor to protect the
