GOLD DowN-112X A l11X.
The gold market opened at ll2x under the first
impression that there had been q new issue OF
grcenbacks, but rapidly gave way before the tide
OF November gold disbursements when 1t was as
certained that the new issue was only an exchange
OF one kind Of currency for another, which had
been effected with substantial advantage to the
interests OF the government. The weakness OF
exchange also helped the decline, which brought
up at 111X, the price closing 1115s 112. Even an
engagement OF 100000 for export tomorrow,
HEAVY SPECIE SHIPMENT,
for these times, failed to have any effect and was
almost ignored as an influence upon the market,
although $5OO,0o0 OF the amount Is gold coin,
which goes to London by special order Of the Bank
OF Montreal at loss OF u u per cent. The mes
sage from Canada to the agent here was imperative
to send coin instead OF bills OF exchange-a too
cautious procedure it must be seen, in view Of the
reputation and standing OF the foreign houses
willing to put the same amount ofmoney in London
on much cheaper terms. The obstinate willingness
Of the Bank Of Montreal to lose money in this way
induces surmse that the gold is taken out Of the
market to help the Montreal Bank
CLIQUE OF GOLD GAMBLERS
to get back some OF the money they lost q few
weeks since when they tried to make squeeze"
in the gold market. but were saddled with moro
gold than they wanted, owing to the bearsh tenn
per Of the street just after the election in Pennsy
vania. The Sub-Treasury paid out $74O.o0O on ac-
count OF interest and $4,000 on account OF re-
deemed hve-twenties. The course OF the market Is
shown in the table

STOCKS LESS ACTIVE, BUT STRONG.
The stock market displayed rather less anma-
tion taking the day all through in comparison with
the earlier activity OF the week, but the specula
ton was decidedly on the bullish side, with the
suit eventually Of general, and in some in
stances, considerable advance in prices The wider
knowledge OF the new issue of greenbacks as pub
lished in the papers In the morning, gave the mar
ket an early sendof the leader in this rise being
Northwestern which advanced to S4l< on the spe-
cial influence of an announcement that an injunc-
tion had been granted By Judge Ingraham

or stock by the directors Of the road until the coh
sent was had of two-thlrds of the stockholders.
The injunction is temporary, but II made perma-
nent will greatly inure to the advantage Of the
'bul' clique, who hold more than enough stock to
prevent such an issue. Indeed the ''corner', upon
the 'shorts' is tightening daily, and the venerable
Mr. Drew is learning how it feels to be subjected to
the painful experience he has so often compelled
others to undergo At this same period OF the day
IT. was also announced that the telegraph COM
panies had raised their tolls about ~ per cent
whcreupon Western Union ran up from 7sA to 79sS
Toward noon there was
A GENERAL RELAPSE
under heavy sales and Northwestern receded to
slN, while Pacific MAIL which had risen to 95X,
fell back to 93K, the decline being assisted by
the engagement OF so large an amount of
specie for export tomorrow. In the az
ternoon there was fresh upward turn, led by
Western Union, which was newly inspired by
statement that the company had applied for an
Injunction restraining their rivals from using an es-
sentia
PIECE OF MECHANISM
in telegraphc equipment, the patent for which had
been bought by and was now exclusively owned by
the Western Union ine The article referred to is the

cannot be dispensed with. Hcreupon western
Union advanced to 79X, while Northwestern re-
covered to s3s. In this closing squirt Of activity
Rock Island and wabash conspicuously shared, the
former because of the logic contained in the in
junction against the new issue of Northwestern,
and the latter by reason OF movement credited to
Mr.. Drew, whose object may be possibly

steady and dull in the absence Of quotations from
London. The new mortgage bonds OF the Central
Railroad to bear interest at seven per cent cur
rency, and not six per cent gold at first contem
plated. This will prove mistake on the part OF
the directors, unless they take proper to
the full value OF thirty-year seven per cent first
mortgage bond on such q road as the New York
Central. II six per cent loan could be negotiated
at par, the seven per cent bonds ought to command
a handsome premium and be a prime investment
In the closing rise referred to Rock Island sold at
11o1s and wabash at 72X.

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-08-22

The Detroit (Mich.) Free Press says that
no where in the Union has Greeley's nomi-
nation been received with more enthusi-
asm than in the Western States, the home
of the pioneer and hardy settler. The
changes in his favor in Iowa, Wisconsin, II
linois, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan
s, and further West, are counted by
thousands, and the campaign is conducted
with even more animation than in the East
ern and Middle States. There is hardly a
postoffice hamlet without its Greeley club
and lis Greeley pole aud banner, and in
every State mentioned Democrats and Lib
erals are working hand in hand to pile up
maiOrities. In Californ the Grant press
admit that the ''curious thing" has taken
deep root and seems bound to completely
annihlate all opposition. East and West,
North and South, the grand movement
counts new recruits every hour in the day /,
ana every day the probabilities of driving
the Grant party from their defenses grow
brighter and stronger. When the people
ris in this way to fight corruption, corrup
ton must 90 down before the attack.

CIVIL sERVIoE HEFOaM.

The Postmaster az Corning, New York;
having manifested his preference for Gree
lev, has lost bis Office, and DR.. George W.
Pratt is appointed, to the disgust even of
Grants friends generally. Pratt was four
wears ago a clerk in the United States House
of Representatives, and against him more
hard things are said, in public and private,
than the New York Express cares to re-
p,at. But this is the way our Civil Service
Reform President makes his appointments,
and here is a case Slightly different-tke
statement being made last week at the
East Side GA Mechanics Association Of
New York:
"Mr. Patrick Kelly, in alluding to the
Navy Yard, said that friend of bis wish
ing to get employment there without taking
the oath to support Grant, wrote to Secre-
tary Robson. In few days ne received
reply from Mr.. Holmes G. Offiey, Chief
Clerk Of the Navy Department, referring
him 10 the Commandant of the Yard. The
Commandsnt referred him to the master
of one of the departments, who told him
re had better see the General Committee
OF lis ward. He did not comply, and he
didn't get employed. He thoughtit shame
that such things should be permitted in a
country called the land of the free and the
home of the brave"
There seems not to be civil Office in the
whole General Government which is no
now bartered for or sold, either for con
sideration in political subservience o.
money.
