CLAIMED IN coNNRorIoN WITH THIS CASE
that inasmuch as the constitution OF the State Of
Wisconsin expressly retains within the Iegisa-
ture the power TO alter or amend all charters
granted by It, the provision OF the United
States constitution which forbids State to pass
any sqaw impairng the obligation OF contracts"
has no application here. But, answer the oppo-
nents OF the Potter law can the constitution OF the
State OF Visions provide for the confiscaticn of
vested rights and not this forced tariff partial
confscation And thus the matter goes over to
the October term, constant menace to the
stock market. especially as there is to
be an argumen. in August for an
Injunction in the matter, producing, naturally,
disturbed values. The other principal influence
operating upon the market besides these above
noted-and the railroad decision was discussed
more with reference to it's future than present
efYect-was the contemplated lease OF Panama by
Pacific Mail or union Of the interests OF both cor
porations. This has been. however, considered so
fully currently that 1t need only be said here that
SO far as Is yet known the arrangement contem-
plated has not been contaminated.

THE GOVERNMENT BOND MARKET
did not appear to be affected by the prospects Of
the new loan. although the question OF Mr.. Bris
tow's success or failure in placing II, under the
terms of his circular formed the subject OF much
discussion in circles in which trade in govern
ments forms large share OF current business.
Opinions Gier, as they always do in regard to the
possible amount OF the bidding, some reliable
BANKERS contendRg that 1t will surprise the street
from its extent, embracing the whole, II not more
than the amounts ofered, while others shake their
heads and indicate that Mr.. Bristow has made
mistake and will so discover Time only can settle
this difference Of opinion. In the meantime the
market continues firm tclosed strong Saturday
night, with fair dealings, principally in small
lots. Bidders for the new fives offered by Mr..
Bristow will have ninety days from July 20 to pay
for bonds but If they take them up any time before
the ninety days expire ninety days. interest
must be paid in addition to the interest accrued
to July %. The subscriber for an exchange Of
bonds will be charged the interest on the bonds
for ninety days from July % whenever he takes
them, but he will also be credited the interest on
his nve-tw enties (sixes) for the same time.
STATE AND RAILROAD BONDS
were remarkably quiet, with generally heavy
feeling. Virglnias were in slight inquiry on home
account. The business in railway mortgages was
limited, at barely steady figures.

UPTOWN IMPROVEMENTS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Twill not undertake to answer in detail the un-
wise and very foolish objections which have been
made by some Of our aged of1cials as to our up
town improvements, but simply state a fact. I
know Of at least six owners OF lots on Riverside
Park who are willing and quite anxious to build
residences fronting ON this avenue when COM
pleted that will cost more than the land used for
the purpose has ever been SOLD for. The idea that
improvements on this island are In advance OF the
wants Of Onr citizens Is too ridiculous to merit an
argument. Since these Improvements were COM
menced the taxable value Of property above
street has increased nearly $40 000 000
as can be seen by reference to the tax books.

MONEY RULED EASY,

mercial paper, 0 q per cent for three and four
months, and as low as per cent for choice names
at shorter dates. The operation of the Currency
bill continues to attract attention, although not
apparent in the market. A recent letter Of
Treasurer Spinner's, in which he speaks Of the
working OF the bill and says it is certainly not
measure of imitation, has been interpreted to mean
that 1t Is contraction measure. What Mr.. Spinner
did say was that the bill at present was operating
in the direction Of contraction, while at the same
time he pointed out that 1t contained provisions
providing for expansion when the business OF the
country called for more currency.

ImagiLc your oondition should o

the Northwcst. Couple with this
idea the total failure Of cotton crop
either from tho worm, or from
dlought, or ,ny other unavoidable
cause. III probable as such visitations
may apl ear, VIC hayo not tho power
to prevent them, and is it wise to
subject ourselves to the possibility of
occoming the victims Of such cal.mi.
ties Depend upon it, our wisost and
safest policy is, as far as practica-
bic, to produce at homo our neces
sary supplies. Is there farm in the
South upon which this cannot be done
and at tho same time produce an
average cotton crop as the net result
Of the farmers annual labor We
believe there is not, aud you have
only to practice this policy for the year
1874, ard harvest time will proclaim
redemption to the South and a return
TO wonted prosperity.
AS our constitution expresses it,
the prosperity Of n nation Is ia pro-
portion to the value Of its productions
Then how masnificcntly prosperous
should be the Cotton States Of this
Union Annually 100000 Of bales
OF cotton arc produced upon South
ern soils. But what proportion of
this vast mount is return to indicate
our prosperity Onehalf Of it is ex.
pended for necessary supplies, while
tho remainder Is divided bctwecn la
Dor and taxes. Hence the cost Of
production has exceeded tho value
of the Article produced. Shall this
policy continue
Extensive cotton crops have evinc.
cd no unity of purpose and cntailcd
poverty upon us. An equally uni
form adhesion to mixed husGandry
would secure our rccupcra,ion. Pa
irons Of the South do you appreciate
your privileges Reflect upon your
opportunity TO exact tribute of tho
world. Cotton is necessity, and
the extent Of that necessity can DO
