STOCKS ACTIVE AND STRONG.
On the Stock Exchange business was character
tied BY considerable increase OF orders to the
brokers and an animated market ut higher prices
The chief features were Hannibal and ST. Joseph
and Wabash The fall In the former naturally
tempted large short interest. which Deing incom-
NODDED by the closing OF the books tins afternoon
for the annual election was forced into large pur-
chases OF cash stock thus instituung small sized
"coiner," which turned the pr,ce Of tho STOCK up
quite sharply, sales occurring at high as 0oh, as
against 81 on Tuesday. The election for directors
OF the Wabash Company took place at Toledo to.
day, and resulted In choice OF seven directors
favorable to rhe Lake Shore interests out OF the
fifteen members constituting the board. This being
triumph for the Vanderbilt party In the Wow that
after foreseen defeat Of their candidate for yho
Presidency-Mr Horace Y. CIark-tneir object was
to secure the largest representation possible In the
direction. the stock became very active and nd
vauced to 63L. The general market sympathtzeu
with these Influences especially as thetr operation
was assisted by the easier situation Of the money

How to Keep a Situation.

The following bit of advice is from
the Working Han, and is worthy the
attention Of all our readers
Lay it down as a foundation rule,
that you will be ''faithful in that which
is least" Pick up the loose nails, bits
of twine, clean wrapping paper, and
put them in their places. Be ready to
throw in an odd half hours time, when
it will bea an accommodation, and
don't seem to make a merit of it
Do it heartily. Though not a word
be said, be sure your employer will
make a note of it. Make yourself in
dispcnsable to him, and he will lose
many of the opposite kind before he
will part with you.
Those young men who watch the
time to see the very second their
woring hour is up, who leave, no mat
ter what state the work may be in, at
precisely the instant-who calculate
the extra amount they can slight their
work, and yet not get reproved-who
are lavish of their employers goods,
will always be the first to receive no.
tice that times are dull, and their ser
vices are no longer required.-Scten-
tiJic american.

several States. So far as the reDubIi-
can administration and the republican
Congress are concerned, the fact
stands out in bold colors that. setting
aside the enfranchisement of the col
ored men, which vas simply measure
of justice,-the only punishment meted
out to the rebels is simply csnstitu-
tional provision that the few thousand
leaders-and those only the puriured
leaders-who plunged the South into
rebellion, shall not again be eligible to
the national posts which they basely
desested, after solenmly swearing to
support the government! Wonderful
and unheard of leniency! And yet
stigmatized by the democratic leaders
who seek to deprive the nation of the
fruits of the victory over rebellion. as
hate and opprcssionr'
But the wonderful leniency of a re-
publican Congress has gone even
further than this. Under the provis4
ion of the fourteenth amendment al
lowing two thirds of each house to re-
move even the slight disability of ineli-
gibilitv to office from as many of these
few leaders as they might deem it pru-
dent, amnesty has already been grant.
ed to large numbers of ex-rebels who,
it was th, u hit. had given evidence of
q sincere acceptance of the result of
the war. By virtue of such generous
forgivene:s to-day nearly seventy ma
jors, colonies, generals and other Off
GERS who served in the rebel army and
fought against the nation, occupy seats
mainly as democratic members of Con-
gress, sitting by the side of the Union
officers against whom they fought, and
demanded of the latter the ''rights of
the South" More than that; for two
years this republican government has
earnestly sought for a decent excuse
for lifting from the remaining South
ern leaders the prohibition against
holding national office; but the out
RACES on Union men which they have
encouraged or permitted, and the un-
repentaHt utterances which have fallen
from their lips, have again and again
delayed the last act which might make
the vilest rebel white as snow before
the nation whose life he sought to
take.
No wonder the civilized world-al-
ways excepting the democrats of the
county who sympathized with rebelliC n
-lOOh Will W hOuNeE upon SucQ q spec
tacle of lenicncy and forgiveness fol-
owirg the greatest and most wicked
rebellion recorded in history. And
when another utter defeat of the DEM
ocratic party in a presidential election,
shall have extinguised the rebel hope
that the 'lost cause" may yet be re-
gained, and shall have secured beyond
danger of reverse the grand results of
the war, then the plaudits of repentant
and forgiven rebels will be joined to
the thanksgiving of a race redeemed
and elevated TO the equal rights of
manhood, rendering honor to that
grand republican party which saved
the life of the nation, freed the Repub-
lie from the curse of slavery, secused
the equal rig hts of all men before and
behind the law, and, when these re-
suits were fully assured, crowned its
work with full and complete amnes-
ty to the men who for four years
sought to destroy the best government
upon which the sun ever shone-LeU-
