The Fancy Price OF In,roductions,

Introductions may be some day quoted
in the stock market as regular matter of
business. We know what the value of an
introduction to General Belknap was worth
by the testimony of Mr.. Evans, who paid
General E. W. Rice, of Iowa, one thousand
dollars for the honor of the acquaintance Of
the ex-Secretary. Now, General Belknap is
no longer Secretary of War; with post
traderships to distribute, and the price
of that security has declined in the market.
But there seem to be other introductions of
still greater value. The honor if we may
call it by that name, of knowing Mr.. Albert
Grant, the great English Spectator, has
small social worth, we suppose but, COM
mercially, it has held very high price. We
are informed, upon respectable authority,
that Senator Stewart paid fifty thousand
dollars for an introduction to Mr.. Albert
Grant because of the influence he was sup
posed to possess in selling the Emma mine
shares in England. The English papers
may reproach republican institutions be-
cause q poor Indian post trader pays one
thousand dollars for ON introduction to the
Secretary of War; but we think that there
must be quite as much corruption in Lon
don and the other English cities when a
British Spectator can estimate the value of
his acquaintance liberal percentage de-
ducted--at ten thousand pounds. 1t seems
that as a fancy stock the introductions to
Grant are worth fifty times as much as the
reputation of being able to claim the honor
of q personal knowledge of General Belknap.
Recent events have caused these stocks to
decline in the market. In Wall street we
hear they are quoted below par. Belknap's
introductions, which, when General Rice
was bull" were quoted at one thousand
dollars are now dull ut fifty cents, forty
cents and twenty-five cents and a half In
fact, Mr. Evans himself, who once paid q
thousand dollars to know the impeached
officer, would now sell out his unfortunate
mountaineering at over hundred per cent
discount. We suppose that Mr.. Marsh would
gladly pay thousands of dollars to obliterate
his intimacy. The "bear" influence now
rules the market. AS for Mr.. Albert Grant,
he will never again be able to sell the credit Of
his name for fifty thousand dollars. Weshould
estimate him at cipher in the speculative
stock market. AS it is, successful specula-
tors would rather hold South Carolina stocks
than Belknap's acquaintance, or Confederate
bonds even than that of Albert Grant.

The SULTAN OF TURKEY is short of funds
and would like little advance from the

shaky, and the bank does not see things

ularly for tho Sultan. He will probably

for immigrants which the State of New York
erected in its laws creating the Emigration
Commission. The Supreme Court decision,
which is understood to have declared the
States powerless to tax owners of vessels

The MATE OF THE MARCIA GBEENLEAF has
been acquitted in England after trial on q
charge OF shooting two of the crew while at
sea. The act was declared to be justifable /;
but surely some other means than homicide
should he adopted for the enforcement of
discipline OH board ship. We hope that the
verdict will not be mIsconstrued 10y other

The Loss OF THE STRATHMoEE has been
attended with shocking loss of life and much
misery among the survivors, who subsisted
On rock for six months on the flesh and

them all possible relief under the circum-
stances. There must have been bad seaman

same ontangled among the reefs and shoals

an impetus be thus given to the career of the
Society that will guarantee its perfect success.

auspices in the past, and it is not improbable
thAtwe may be equally fortunate in the future.
