New York Money Market.

New YORK, December 30, 6 P. NJ.
In the different departments Of Wall
street to-day, dullness was the most
prominent feature. There is general
disposition manifested among the
bankers and brokers to delay new and
important operations until after the
lst of January, and this feeling can be
traced to the existing dullness.
MONEY - Was very stringent
again to- day and very high rates were
paid by borrowers on call. Early in
the day calls ranged from l.l6 to per
diem, but in the evening there was an
advance to loot per diem; closing
loans on the street were made at ll6
to /.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE - Was
weak and lower in the morning but
closed up steadily at 1904 for prime
bankers'sixty days sterling.
GOLD-The market was firmer and
advanced from llli to ll2i; late in
the day prices declined to lllt@ll2.

day 1925 900 on account of interest and
$500 in redemption OF 500 bonds.

We contend that peaceful union is

Northern republicans disbelleve in the

them that no disbelief ever had less
foundation in fact, that no people were
ever more ready to accept the situation,
but that the best way to foster hatred

Plnchback. 1t is quite possible for q
negro or a Northern man to be rascal.

Tax GOOD people Of Cumberland are
nncb interested in the case OF the negro
rs,,a now under sentence Of death for
". crime of rape committed upon an
sI.av residing near New Creek, West
Ti,siDis. W. 1t appears that the sight OF
,,s I,dv in question is somewhat de-
',,;rs w. and an important element in the
.,;dsrcs that led to the prisoners
,,r,ic,iou was her Identification Of the
.,miusI, which. in the opinion Of some
of the people, is not so absolute and
0,nviDcing as to justify his death.
c,r.-nor WHYrE refuses to commute
=. sentence unless requested to do 80

ion 10 the case. He declined to an

,i;b Judge MorrER who was associa-
,sI with him in the trial.
Iftbere was no room for doubt as to
the identity and guilt Of the prisoner,
certainly there could be no tenable OBJ

n.Dslty of the law. The crime was
a. s,rocious and beastly one and at
tended by many circumstances OF aggra'
v.,iop and the wretch who committed
i "a not fit 10 live. Care should be
sksn, however, not to punish an inno-
rent man, and if there is enough doubt
Of the identity OF CRIAG to save him
rom the gallows, the same doubt
should be sufficient 10 discharge him
rom custody and let him go free. If
guilty. at all, he is worthy Of death; if
not guilty he should be discharged.
That is the way the matter looks here.
