The events of last week in financial cir
Giles in New York were unusually import
ant. Everything, of course, turned upon
the Treasury sale of 5000, 900 gold, and
purchase of $5,000,000 bonds, on the 7th
Inst. The community were partially pre-
pared for some such operation, in conse-
quence of the reports afioas on the previous
Saturday, but nevertheless this move Of the
Treasury Department had marked effect
In Wall street, and gave silver lining to
the dalk clouds previously hanging over the
held OF speculation. The army of specu-
lators IN Wall street made. haste 10 change
their base, and there was general shifting
from bear to bull on the Stock Exchange.
and from bullto bear in the Gold Room.
This operation, of course, produced some
violent fluctuations. The semi-oficial an
nouncement that Secretary Boutwell, so in
terpreted the legal tender act that be could
increase the greenbaek circulation to $780,
OUO,OOO, also had a tendency to initiate val
ues In Wall street and give a rosy hue to
speculation on the Stock Exchange. The
present legal tender circulation is $780,
uO0,O00, which represents the contraction
OF $44, 100000 under the administration of
the finances BY Secretary eCulloch. This
policy OF contraction was stopped by an act
OF Congress, and the public generally sup
posed that the legal tender notes had been
cancelled; but it is now stated that the
notes were never cancelled, and from this
fact Secretary Boutwell, considers that be
has right to reissue them if necessary.
Spectators have been feasting on the ex-
pectation that the whole or some portion
Of this 81, 600, 000legal tender notes would
be once more launched on the community.
The moral effect of this expectation has
been felt In connection with the practical
effect of the gold sales and bond pur-
chases. 80. .--

INDIANA TO THE FaoN1.-The Demo-

INDIANA TO THE Front. Demo-
cratic State Central COMMITTEES Of Indi.
ana has issued an address to the Demo-
Gratis and Liberal Republicans of that
State. in which they congratulate the
voters OF both parties on the success
with which they met the organized and
compact forces of the Administration.
The victory would have been more com:
plete, they say, had not small element
Of the party remained at home on eleu.
ton day. This element, however, will
now appreciate the importance of entire
union in their ranks, and rally to the
support OF the ticket in November. The
unsorupulous men who invoked the oor-
rupting influence of money and fraudu-
lent votes have not yet accomplished all
they had hoped, and the result shows
that majority Of the legal voters of the
State are in favor OF reform and opposed
to the present Administration. A united
effort on the part Of those who feel that
the welfare OF the country requires
change of administration, is all that is
needed to secure the electoral vote Of
Indiana for reconciliation aud, reform.
The address concludes as follows:
Amid unmerited calumny thu Liberal
Republicans have stood faithfully and
true to the cause represented by our
tickets. They have given an unwa7ering
support to the State ticket. in the selec-
tion OF which they had no voice. The
Democratic masses stood in almost m
broken line in support Of the principles
OF constitutional liberty aud good go
and Baltimore platforms. The late cleo.
tions fully demonstrate that if all who
are opposed TO continuing the present
corrupt Administration, and the more
corrupt ring which controls it in power,
will act together, it can and will be de-
feated, and the nominees of the Oinoin-
natl and Baltimore Conventions elected
in its stead. This is great contest-a
contest between the people on the one
hand and a corrupt army of office.hold-
ers on the other. It is to be determined
in this contest whether an Admipietra-
ton which has lost the confidence and
respect of vast majority of the people
can perpetuate its power by the corrupt
ing influence OF its patronage and the
free use OF money, or whether the people
are yet strong enough to defeat the COM
bined effort of bad men, and once more
place their Government on the sound
basis OF fraternity. honesty and econo-
my. Democrats and Liberals, in the
struggle that yet remains. let us move
forward as one man. Let there be from
this time forward but one party, stand
ing on common platform, the platform
OF the Cincinnati and Baltimore Con
ventions, and doing battle for o common
obiect--the redemption of our country
from this rt1le. md, the restoration of
harmony and brotherly love throughout
all our borders. and victory must perch
upon our STANDARD.

The House has passed a bill author
izing the issue of one cent postal cards.
The bill, however, was so amended as to
render obligatory the use of paper flap,
covering the side of the card upon which
the message is written. In its present
shape, the bill therefore authorizes the
Post-ofhce Department to transport what
are really nothing more than envelopes,
at one cent. The card, with flap con-
cealing the writing upon it, is simply
an envelope of little different pattern
from that now in use, and its introduc-
ton will have the effect Of practically
reducing the postage on great part Of
all letters written, to one cent.
