From the whis.

Dnring the past week the market
showed rather more animation and
closed very firm, with q slight upward
tendency, and while we do not deem Il
necessary TO alter quotations, We have TO
report the general tone Of the market
very firm, with the probability
that il will remain 90, -
the views of both sellers and buy
ers are nearly in accord and it now looks
as if prices for all desirable tobacoos
were becoming fixed. Nevertheless it 10
rather early in the season TO make pro-
ductions as to the future Of the market,
as prices will depend upon the amount OF
orders sent here Some Of our dealers
expect that we will have large orders,
and if their snticipstions are realized
prices will improve.
In connection with our review Of the
market it is relevant to state what has
already been fully referred TO in other

The New Hampshire Election.


The result of the vote in New Hamp-
shire was anxiously awaited by the coun-
try, simply because it desired and ex-
pected TO see in it the effect Of the Bel
KNAPP exposures upon politics. lu other
respects the election WAS important be-
cause the Legislature created by the
vote of Yesterday is to chose sue
cessor to A. H. Cragin in the United
States Senate. But such con-
siderations always fall to interest the
people in periods of excitement as much
as immediate results. Mr.. Belknsp was
supposed to be on trial IN New Hamp-
shire, and tho administration was brought
in as his accomplice. Well, upon that
issue both Mr.. Belknap and the admin
i.tration have been acquitted. In spite
of the great scandal at Washington the
State has gone Republican.
But New Hampshire is little State.
and, therefore, easily controlled. The
majority for either OF the great parties is
generally smsll-that for Grant in 1872,
having cen remarkable 5,745-and last
wear a scattering vote of 1872 threw the
determination of Governor into the two
houses .ol the General Court. In
such State. with shifting
small majority, it is easy to effect
the result by money, and we judge from
the dispatches of our impartial
and observant correspondent at Concord
that money was expended free! y during
the recent campaign and that the Repub.
licans had the largest purse. TLey have
reelected Governor Cheney and ma
iority of the Legislature according to the
latest returns, and will, there.
fore, continue the Republican rep.
resentation of New Hampshire IN
the Seuate. But it is unlikely that
the Republican party will be muc1
elated or that the Democracy Will
be much depressed by this event. 1t
was not a national field. The issues
were too narrow. The majority either
way is too small. A grand national
question cannot be tried in a police
court and New Hampshire is actually,
II We consider the cioseness of its parti
san vote and the facile methods of af-
fectlng it, of little more Importance
than a ward in New York. IL the
administration claims a victory in
this election upon the issue of Mr.. Bel
knap's guilt, then it suffers 3 practical
defeat; for, to win upon that issue is
bad for the Republican party. Our op.
,nion is that local matters, the stake o!
the United 'States Senatorship and
money-the latter most OF all-deter-
mined the result yesterday in New
Hampshire. The general appeal is yet
to be made to the higher teibunsl o! the
nation.

FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE
DEMOCRACY.

From the dispatch published yester-
day morning, it will be seen that at last,
sner .oug discussion, the Democratic
caucus at Washington has agreed upon
financial policy. The PAYNE bill
was settled upon by vote OF 6G to 46
The provisions Of the bal will explain
the position taken. 1t provides
for ~ gradual resumption Of specie
payments by making it the duty of the
Treasury to annually retain IN coin
an amount equal to three per crntum OF
legal tender notes outstanding 10 consti-
.u;c n resumption fund, and also requlr-
IN National banks TO set aside all
amount of com equal to three per centum
O. their circulating notes
In addition. It pr yides for the repeal
Of So much =, ,uc resumption act of the
45d Congress us fixes January lst. 1879
rs the date OF resumption.
From this it will be seen that the
financial policy of the Democratic party
is TO be condensed into very few words
The object of specie payments is to be
kept steadily in view, yet the effort to
force the same artifcia!ly b! legisla-
ticn, and to provide an a7Iitrary
time for them, is to be discarded.
This action is exactly what we have
always contended f. end, of course, we
therefore think it wise 1t not only Is
an exact Interpretation of Whist the Ohio
Democracy meant by their financial plank
.ast fall, but it is an Interpretation so
.u,,d, and so positive that, unlike rs on
that occasion. our enemies
cannot possibly raise the cry
against us Of Reputation or inordlnate
imitation. 1t is position upon which
all wings OF the party can unite, mas
much as it agrees exactly with the views
of MIR PESpLEToN, rs expressed at Gal.
lipolis last Fall, and at the same time
does not conflict with the frequently ex
pressed sentiments Of Senator THURMAN,
We allude specially 10 these two gen
l.elaeu, they beng from the same State,
and being supposed to represent the diff
ierent actions of the same party on this
question,
This point then is settled, and it should
ce 20 the satisfaction OF both the Western
aat Southern inflationists, and the East
e'n hard money men. TIE result will be
beneficial in that the capitalist will-no
longer frightened AZ the idea OF prices be-
ing forced down upon him IN the short
space OF three years-unloose his money
!rom lts prison, and make investments
20 the advantage ofthe whole people. In
ms way he will derive more than the
hmple interest on his means, while
'ae stringency in the money market will
Cease. And while this is effected, the
laoorer will feel that what he receives in
paper is of redoubled value, inasmueh as
Ills based upon substantial metal, and
the security for the payment of the notes
he'd by him is increased.
And now having settled this question,
let the Democracy go 10 work and fight
IN the important issues OF the day, and
strive to redeem the country from the
stigma which rests upon it. We do not
urge this simply as partisan measure,
Ou as citizens of America. 1t is not de-
'Faele that, as the future generation
grows up, and our children arrive to
-an nhood, they should be ashamed
