The day in Wall-st was one of extreme quiet
in financial circles. Business the Stock
Exchange suffered from the absence of numer-
Ous brokers and spectators, who either attended
the Jerome Park races. or went elsewhere out of
town. After a brief period of frmness at the open
ing the market became weak, and prices declined
TO l: per cent. Erie receded from 2Gs t. Pot the
lowest point of the week, and, for that matter,
for years past against pa at the close last evening
Towards o'clock there a general recovery, but
this soon gave way TO weakness. When the advices
concerning the probable action of the House on the
currency bill and still later the passage of the
bill were received, the whole market rebounded and
closed at the highest point OF the day The leading
features were Lake Shore. Western Union, North
West Common, Union Pacific, Pacific Mail, New
York Central Rock Island and Wabash. The IN
vestment and miscellaneous shares were dull and
steady. The opening highest, and closing prices

THE Machias Republican goes after Mr..
Drisko, the editor of the Machias Union, in
very lively manner because it learns that
this gentleman will attempt to secure a seat
in the Legislature by counting out The vote of
Machias, which, it claims, will be disfrancb;s
ed by the official neglect of the contestant
The informality is that the warrant tor the
September election was not posted seven DAYS
previous to the second Monday in September.
The selectmen who are not assessors attrib-
ute this neglect to Mr.. Drisko, who as chair
man OF the latter board, did not furnish them
with list Of voters as required by law on the
first day of August, but only few days be-
fore the election. This, however, does not
appear to afford any excuse for the neglect of
the selectmen, but Mr.. Drsko should not
avail himself of their error when his own
neglect is OF much more glaring nature.
fortunately the usage of the House of Rep
resentatives at Augusta has been to award
such contested seats, to the party who ap-
pears to have the votes of the majority, and
not to dlsranchise town on account of the
neglect OF its officials. Mr.. Drisko claims to
pe a reiormer and has said many good things
about creating majorites by arbitrary and I'M
fair means. We hope, therefore, that this
report is not well founded, since anv action
on his part to dstranchise the people of Ma
chias BELTS trickster rather than a friend of
reform; and it will be particularly indecor-
Gus since his neglect as a town officer NOV,
have had something to do with the alleged ir-
regularity. But if this contest is made or any
similar one, we trust the House will not
sanction it by allowing the contestant 'leaye
to withdraw with pay and mileage"
