The stock market this morning opened with the
very first sales at about the closing prices of last
evening; but under immense pressure to sell real
stock of Western Union, it quickly yielded from to
Il per cent. This was followed by a rally only to
sell down again lower than before from which under
steady and persistent buying for the short account
the market steadily advanced for the remainder of
the day. until near the close when it again dovolped

the unalterable rule of the Exchange that bids

was again the stock about which the interest of all
speculators was centered, as il supposed to be
the key TO the whole position, and more than

Quickly selling down to II on transactions Of nearly
90 shares back ~ with about 10000 shares, and
then down TO 7li at which price only 800 shares
sold it then steadily advanced again TO u, and for
a time with quito large dealings played about that
figure until the stock for sale appearing 10 be ex-
hausted, it quickly advanced to 72s, but closed at
72. and offered at that price That there has been
very heavy selling of long stock both by Spectators
and investors" is generally conceded and but for
the purchases by a party-abOut whose position

SATURDAY. Jan. l6-P. VI.


I'm business circles the past week has been es-
pocaly noted as the dullest and most inactive for
long time. with a general tendency toward lower
prices for nearly all kinds of merchandise including
pork bacon. and beef as well as grain and most de
scriptions oil groceries Cotton has been quiet, but
upon the whole rather more firmly held. although
the exports to foreign ports from all Of own for
the past week, have been only about 10000 bales
against over 900 bales for the week in 1874.
The dry goods market failed to show any improve
ment in prices. and while certain new style fancy

lower than before. 1t would appear that nOtwth-

demand, and that the general stock
had not been much reduced. The chief event of
general interest during the week has been the PresI-
dents approval of Sherman's BILL How not to re-
sumo specie payment" and his message to Congress
recommending further legislation upon the subject.
The President admits that with gold above ITO the
proposed substitution of a silver currency in place
of the fractional paper one cannot be maintained,
and therefore proposes by specific act to fix and

to again try the experimentation has never IN

a fsstssippi Murder.

On the evening of the ninth instant, or
perhaps the Gay previous, the body of Mr..
Abner Armstrong, an elderly gentleman of
this county, was found few miles west of
Meadville in the road. A load of buckshot
from an assassn's gun had claimed him as
it's victim. This is the result of previous
difficulty between Mr., Armstrong, his two
sons, and the Matlock brothers. Several
months ago difficulty sprang up between
these parties. The Matlocks challenged
the Armstrong;. They met at the
designated place and firing began, result
ing in the death of one OF the Matocks,
the woundiDg of another, aud the
wounding on Dennis Armstrong, also. The
grand jury found several bills against the
parties and others as accessories. Nothing
more was heard of the difficulty until it is
revived by the assassination of Mr.. Abner
Armstrong, one of the parties in the fight
above referred to, and fa ather OF the two
soGs who also participated. Suspicion natu-
rally pointed to Matlock, the youngest
brother of the three. An inquest was held,
and circumstantial evidence enough pro
cured to warrant a verdict charging Eugene
MatlOck with the crime; but by this
time he had fled. George and Dennis Arm

The Rio Bravo,

A gentleman employed in the Custom.
house has received letter from Com
mander Kells, of the gunboat Rio Bravo.
That vessel was not harmed by the recent
storm at Galveston. As she lost her long
cables and best anchor off Sabine she has
waited for another supply, but was pre-
pared 10 It art for the Rio Grande last even
ing, provided the Dix reached Galveston in
time to convoy her. As it must have been
rather stormy on the gulf yesterday it is not
likely the Bravo sailed. The reason for
starting last evening was because there is
little danger on the coast, where size would
run during the night, and the worst part of
the voya would then be travelled in dav-
light. General Ord has inspected the
Bravo, and expressed himself highly pleased
with the vessel, pronouncing it as just the
craft needed to hold Mexican robbers in
check along the Rio Grande.

The Southern People.

In an article referring to General Long
street and other ex- Confederate leaders who
desired to accept the situation at the close
of the war, the Montgomery (AlabamaJ
Bulletin, edited by Democrat, says:
No, if the truth must be told, the people
originally had very little to do with making
an lmpracticable issue on reconstruction.
They we're going along quietly trying to
outlive the unfortunate results of the war
and to cultivate friendly relations with
their government, when Ex-Governor Perry.
OF South Carolina, Mr. B. H. HilL of Geor-
gia, and Others of the old opposition politics
IN Alabama, suddenly became fired up with
indignation and made inhanmatory appeals
which again set the popular mind all agog
and tenn to. produce conflict of race
and sectional hostility, whittier all before
had oetn tending to peace and reconcia-
ton. Now, who was to blame for all this
crmination and rtcrimination-the pro-
sCriptlon, race issues, violence, and disre-
gard OF national or State authority conse-
quent upon the reagitation of these vexed
questions ! Certainly not those of us who
deprecated the whole strife and vainly en-
deavored to invoke law and order, peace,
reconciliation, and good will among ali
men. We blame no body of men as party.
Perhaps both parties were more or less to
blame; but we do claim that the men who
first opposed this haneful agitation, and
whose predictions in every respect have
been fulfilled, ought to have credit for it,
lnste t.d OF being Starred at as wanting either
IN courage or wisdom to meet the require
ments of the most tryiRg period of civil
commotion that has been, or we hope ever
will be again, recorded in the annals of our
Southern country

Prussia and the Priests.

The proofs of the soundn.ss of Bis
marck's policy toward the Church are be-
ginning to show themse yes, and we have
no doubt will now rapidly accumulate. The
bishops are one by one signifying their will
ingness to obey the Falk laws in the matter
OF church property--that Is, to submit to
share it's administi lion with a representa-.
tive beard elected by the laity. 1t may be
said, It is true, that their acguiescence 10
matter so secular in its character does not
necessarily indicate any readiness to submit
in other matters more distinctly ecclesiasti.
CAL such as the education of the clergy and
the lutticton OF ecclesiastical pains and
penalties; but the answer to this is that
when the clergy first refused obe-
dience they made no distinction be-
tween the different portions of the
obnoxious legislation. Submission to
any portion of it was declared utterly
impossible, and all of it was pronounced
damnable. Their course in Prussia is, how
ever, strictly in accordance with the time
honored policy of the Church every where
which has always been that of good poll
ticians-viz: to get all it can, but if it can
not get all it wants, to be content with what
it does.get. Therefore, the State, in dealing
with the Catholic clergy, can hardly go
wrong, within the bounds of secular reason
and Justice, in forcing them to submit to
such legislation as the interest of the State,
from the secular point of view, seems to re-
qWre. Such legislation seems to be followed
By year or two of great bluster and much
damnation, and large crop of "msrtyrs,"
but ne soon as 1t Is clearly seen that the
government is not frightened and will not
recede, the order or permission to adapt
themselves to circumstances is sure to come
from Rome, either openly or privately

w. T: Sherman, Governor w. P. Kellogg,
of Louisiana; General Gustavus Smith, of
Kentucky; Washington Mclean, of Cincin-
natl, and Major N. E Graves, of Syracuse,
it was believed that something new in po-
litical matters was about to present itself
Our representative called on several of
these gentlemen this morning, who assured
him that there was no significance, what
ever, to be attached to their all being here
together. 1t was customary to visit New
York annually between the tenth of Sep
tember and the first of October, on their
way home from watering places or ether
summer recorts. Governor Kellogg also
assured the writer that his visit was a mere
casual one. He had been so busy for some
time that he required some rest and recrea-
tion, and came here for that purpose. All
that his excellepcy would say about Louis
lana was simply that he believed the State
was "hard money" one -Neio York Com
