r.
fne stock marke: to-day was not merely de-
presse0 but unsettled. Opinions, even when
uttered by the best critics, were strangely at va
Rance with facts subsequently developed. There
was little basis on which to make predictions.
The favorable Pacific Mail report the probable &C
ton Of Congress with refereuce to free banking
and specie redemption, the Improvement IN gen.
erai trade the reports OF the United States rreas-
ury-all these incidents failed to move the market
upward and create faith in future prices, and we
have consequently to record for the moment
tone thoroughly In accord with the artificial move
.ments that have been described during the past
three or Iour weeks. Prices are iuctuating. 1t Is
Tor the chief operators TO declare the proper mo-
ment when they think 1t safe to buy or sell. The
scene shiiters are few In number, and fully control
the stage on which this financial comedy is being
played. The decline ranged from Y 10 az per
cent the subjects being Ohio and NJ ssissippi, st.
Paul. Western Union, Rock Island, Lake Shore and
Union Pacfc. The final dealings showed q re-
C0very Of y to u per cent from the lowest point.
The following table shows the opening, highest
and lowest prtceS OF the day.

A BUNsBY's OPINION. Courier,
in abiding to the late Eastern elections,
says:
Different persons, looking from different
stand-points, and influenced by different
views, learn different lessons from the facts
of change in the late elections"
But all must agree upon one point,
and that is, the Administration party
was clicked out of its boots" in the
recent elections. We don't care what
"lesson is learned" so that the conserv-
atives of the nation are the teachers.
Poor Courier, it begins to realize that it is
aboard sinking ship; but it insists
upon consulting the chart and log-book,
while the remainder of the crew have
already taken to the boats.

holiday exercises were held in the several
churches on Christmas eve. The decor
atoms, as usual, were superb, and the
congregation of happy children which
assembled in each house of worship, af-
forded scenes of joyful remembrance
carrying one back to the days of child
hood. A large number of presents were
distributed, and the little folks have
been veritable kings and queens of the
household even since the dawn Of
Christmas morn.

IMPORTANT DECISION. the 18th

IMPORTANT DECISION. On the 10th
ult. the Supreme Court of the United
States decided case brought up from
the Supreme Court of Utah. The de-
cision is an important one, as it defines
the powers of the Legislative bodies of
the several Territories. The Legisla-
ture of Utah conferred certain author
ity upon the Probate Courts Of the
Territory, one of which was giving
them jurisdiction over larger sums of
money than the organic act allowed.
Under this act suit was brought in
the Probate Court on promissory note,
and judgment recovered. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
Territory, which reversed the decision.
The case was then taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States, which af-
firmed the decision of the court below.
The Court held that Probate Courts had
no jurisdiction in such suits, as the Leg
islature could not lawfully confer upon
the Probate Courts jurisdiction in civil
or criminal cases in either chancery or
common law business.

An ApoLoGY.-It will be observed by
referring to the letter of the literary
member of the medical association that
a semi-apology is made for the manner
in which the Insane Asylum investiga-
ton was inaugurated. He says that
the doctors are better judges of physics
than language, and that the resolution
was hastily drawn. AS this is the sea-
son of "peace and good will among
men," we feel inclined to accept the ex-
PLANTATION and discharge the patient as
cured. We trust however, that before
the association again attempts to pre-
scribe its specifics it will make a more
through diagnosis of the case under
consideration.
