SATURDAY, Nov. 22-8 p. M.
The stock market to-day exhibited the same
nucuattng character that may have been observed
during the last week. There is nothing in the situ-
atlon, however which warrants an invitation to
the outside capitalist to bring his money hither
and make an investment. The market bears
within itself the evidences depression. The
Oldest operators on the street give it an opin-
ton, irrespective of all outside Influences that 1t
must decline. The condition OF the country does
not justify the sharp speculation whereby a few
men have advanced the prices OF fancy stocks.
Yet they will DOUBTLESS control the market for
several days, operate very much as. they did
preceding the panic and perhaps be caught by
another catastrophe. Brokers and bankers are
ssfghtlng shy" OF these parties; the stringency
OF money somewhat describes their credit; and 1t
Is not improbable that within a few days their
speculative power VIII be exhausted. Much OF the
strength OF the market to-day towards the close
was due 10 the publication by the banks OF their
condition This, however, when fully analyZed
would not give warrant to the confidence ex-
ntbted, inasmuch as 1t does not show various de-
Calls connected with the individuality OF sundry
institutions, the weakness OF which is covered and
protected by the cumulative report.
THE GOLD MARKET.
Gold opened at 1l0, moved up to 110A, thence
down to l09Z subsequently advanced to 110as

Gold is responding to public sympathy. Between

A prize fight took place Wednesday
morning between Patrick Ryan and

to quiet retreat near Hunters Point,

and all the preliminaries arranged for
the fight. At o'clock the men enter
ed the ring and the fight at once be-

for time. The latter, however, grad
ually turned the tables on Ryan, and in
the twenty-6rst and twenty-second
rounds punished him terribly about the

fourth round Carrigan fought Ryan
down, notwithstanding Ryan continu-
ed to respond to the call of time, al
though his seconds wanted him to
give up. Three more rounds were
fought, when Carrigan again fought
Ryan down, bleeding and helpless, and
his seconds threw up the sprongo,
Carrlgan being declared the winner.
The fight lasted through twenty-seyen
rounds, occupying one hour and TWEEN

Conservative Meeting in Richmond,

Never before have we seen our thea
tire SO con,psctly filed or witnessed q
more enthusiastic alId intelligent au
dience than crowded it last night liter
ally from pit to dome. The coup oeil
from the stage was grand and inspirit-
ing. There was perfect sea of faces
filling the amphitheatre, while surround
ing the doors were hundreds of eager
citizens unable to gain entrance.
The ladies, too, God bless them, were
represented in goodly numbers by the
elite OF our society. Looking at the
grand picture from the stage, we could
not help feeling proud Of Virginia and OF
her great Conservative party-thesheet
anchor of her hope. The applause that
greeted Governor Walker on taking the
chair as president, fully attested the
popularity Of that gentleman, and also
showed the gratitude Of the people for
his efforts in their behalf.
General Kemper was hailed, on his
appearance, with an enthusiasm that
gave sufficient evidence of his POPULAR
ty; and the reception Of Col. Withers
was calculated to make him feel that he
was well repaid for all the sacrifices he
had made.
Raleigh T. Daniel, too, was grandly
greeted when he introduced Mr.. Hun
Ter, whose appearance on the stage was
g signal for another of those grand out
bursts of enthusiasm which ever and
anon occurred and marked the spirit of
the meeting throughout.
General Ke,nper made magnifc. n,

The evil in the South is the degradation
of the constituent body Of forcing into
it at the point Of the sword a large and
incompetent element. Now, in propo-
ton as the Government is kept from

white man over the Government will
it be salutary,and the people thrifty and

The hope without exertion is idle;
therefore the white people should never
cease to struggle against that element

all white men to put forth every effort

power Of barbarism and incclnpetency,
and increase that of the white voters Of
the State-those who own the property

The Moioc Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-General
jeff C. Davis, commanding the de

to issue to the Modoc Indian prisoners

small quantities of clothing as can be
spared from the supplies on hand to
prevent unusual suffering among them

cable.
A number of letters have been re
ceived here from Quakers and other
friends of the Indian peace pelicy
throughout the country, asking execu
tive clemency in behalf of the Modoc
Indians lately on trial for the murder
of General Candy. Many Of these let
tiers raise the question that the trial;
was illegal under the decision Of the
supreme court in the Milligan case,
that the civil courts being open, the
military tribunal had no jurisdiction.
| Another question passed is that Gener-
al Candy was killed while acting as
peace commissioners and notas an Off
