cent. % annum; on the streets money is
active at l3@24 U cent. y month on
good collaterals. Brokers are paying 100

mand, az follows: On New York, Boston
and Eastern points, buying at par and
selling at tc premium and on New Or
leans at ic discount. Local and foreign
securities continue steady, with little
movement in the market and no trans.
actions worthy of note.

One of the least fattering tributes
ever paid to- rising young artist has
been paid to a Cincinnati dauber by
Western critic He possesses some
merit as an artist, but it is hard to say
whether it lies in landscape or marine
painting; you never can tell his COWS
from his ships, except when they have
their tails exalted, when the absence of
spars betrays their character. Even
then they may be mistaken for schoon'
ers scudding under bare poles.

The market this morning opened
steady, with a good demand but light
offerings. New York was reported quiet
with middlings at l65c; futures steady.
Liverpool was quiet and unchanged, with
sales of $4,000 bales. New Orleans was
dull and unchanged. The market here
presented fair feeling, with good
inquiry but light offerings, and in conse-
quence limited transactions. A few small
lots of ordinary to fill orders changed
hands at l2@l3c, low middlings at Ice
and middlings at l63c.

he did not add bis voice
against any new isssue of irredeemable
paper money. There were many things be
did not know, but ono he did know, and
that was, it would launch this nation on 4
sea without shore, without harbor, to de-
clare in favor of the increase of paper
money. That proposition involved false
hood, lie, and in the end would upset ev-
erything from an apple cart to an empire.
IL was false that stamp on paper trans
formed it to dollar. The coin dollar
represents the cost of production, and pa
per money was merely synibolical of that
)llar. When there was fio coin dol.
lar behind it, it was merely a false
promise TO pay. He would say
nothing about the legal tender act, but
would say when no war engages the coun-
try, when no oveTmastering necessity is to
be pleaded, mad indeed, in his belief, would
be the action by which the two houses OF
Congress would undertake to solve the
financial problem Of the day by an unlimi-
ted issue of irredeemable promises to pay.
He again appealed to the Senate TO stop
this splitting of places and let the Com
mittee on Finance resume possession OF
this question, and bring in some measure
on which eminent gentlemen around so
learned in finance could agree.
Mr.. Oglesby said he thought there was
in the Senate to-day ability, intelligence
and experience to compare with the most
favorable era of the American Republic.
He had been benefited by the discussion on
this subiect-he commendedt the wisdom OF
the Republican Congress which gave the
country greenbackS and the national bank
system, and had no doubt he reflected the
feeling of the whole country when he made
the assertion that the greenback currency
was a noble one and sealed with the best
blood of the nation. It would be redeem
ell in gold, every dollar.
Mr.. Morton said it was evident that this
debate could not be closed to-day, and he
proposed that the gentleman give way to
the motion to adjourn.
Mr.. OgleSby said he didn't want the SEN
ate to adjourn IN the middle of his speech;
it would leave it with no more intelligence
than the resolution which he had in his
hand (hOlding up Mr.. COOper's substitute).
Continuing, he said he thought that reSolu-
tion would become very important paper
in the history of American financial litera-
ture, and would take it with him to the
people OF his Stale.
Pending discussion, ON motion to recen-
slider, the Senate adjourned.

these small daily cent papers that were
springing up and might be called the poor
mans paper. To make such pay the same
postage as the great dailies, was unjust and
was discrimination AGAINST the poor man
and in favor Of the rich. He thought that
the last Congress had acted injudicions by
and hastily repeating the franking priyi-
lege in obedience to an artificial public
sentiments
MIR. Garfield said the time had not yet
arrived when Congress could say that it had
fairly tried the effect of the repeal OF
the franking privilege, as it had only gone
into effect on July 1,.last.
A Greater Abuse
than the frank itself was that of the extra
ordinary amount of public printing. Aside
from the Congressional Globe which had
cost about S:}J0,00O year, the cost Of print
