Judge Taylor Beattie of Lafourche
declines for private reasons to become
q candidate for Congress from this
district. Mr.. j. &. Parkerson of St.
Mary will be urged for the Republic
an nomination, his friends claiming
that his character for honesty and in
dependence will secure to him the
support of all Democrats and Con-
servatiyes who are dissatisfied with
the candidacy of Hon. J. H. AckleE.
If there is any well founded reason
for supposing that such dissatisfaction
exists to an extent that would exer-
else an appreciable influence on the
result of the election in the district,
we have yet to learn it. Our impress
sion still is and Jadge Beattie's re-
fusal to run confirms it-that no
candidate can be selected who will be
able to defeat Col. Acklen.

To our confrere of the Abbeville
Meridional we tender thanks for the
following complimentary remarks:
Our enterprising contemporary, the Don
aldsonville CHEF, came TO us last week
freighted with news. 1t contained among
other things lengthy account OF the hang
ing which took place there on the i4th.
Bentley is a good editor and the CHIEF
attesteth his handiwork.

John L. Leet, an ex-editor and poll
tician lately of this State, who figured
as witness before the Potter COM
mittee aud exposed some of the inside
workings of Louisiana politics to the
further detriment Of several damaged
Republican regulations, has become
insane and is now an inmate of the
Bloomingdale Asylum, New York.
1t is thought his Insanity is of q
temporary and durable character. He
formerly edited the Abbeville Flag,
and subsequently the Vaudeville
Wace, displaying such volubility in
his writings and speech that he soon
acquired the appropriate sobriquet oi
a The laxative Blonde"

taken abroad, the transaction Will place SooouV'-
600 more of securities upon the market, competing
for the funds of investors. The banks as whole'
viii make no gain in funds Tor loanlhg,
as the placing of the gold to the credt OF
the Government will result i'll nothing more thah
transfer of gold already in the banks vaults from
the credits of individual depOsors. In other words,
the banks will have to deposit securities with the
Treasury Department for the same funds which
tbey now hold on deposit for individuals, without
any security. The effects our local money mar
bet of a practical completion of the contract made
to-day will be watched with unusual interest But
a long step has been made toward coin resumption
on January 1, 1879.
The stock market to-day has presented not visi-
bic trace of the unsettled and feyersh feeling when
was so conspicuous yesterday afternoon. This al
most magical transformation was caused by
the early circulation Of report that at an uptown
hotel last evening, large and prominent operator
had sold to another speculator privilege
on 5000 shares of the Northwest common stock.
Hence to-day's stock market is entitled to be called
a Northwest market upon the movements OF that
stock the whole of the remainder of the market
hinged. Northwest common opened at asa, against
477s Yesterdays price and rapidly advanced to 40;
then after some waverng TO 80. it closed at 49's
or 2 per cent higher than yesterday. AT times
the excitement among the dealers IN the
stock was almost wild, and vet the
total transactions mounted only TO 27,900; that
number however. was one quarter of the days bus
mess in the whole list. This movement eXerted Its
influence upon the remainder of the market so that
there was an advance, only less sharp all the way
through. Northwest preferred rose from 71sl to
70; ST. Paul common from 45 to 1853. and the
preferred from 715sa71l4 TO ~. The transactions
In Illinois Central. Chicago and Alton. Chicago
Burlington and Quincy and Rock Island were mt
tIe or nothing. Lake Shore opened up to 655s and
rose 10 GGli0GGls. Erie advanced 10 1lSSG114
and New-York Central was dull and steady at lOOi2
a1065s e,...,:
creasipr liabilities or decreasing assets OF the COM
names, shared in the improved tone; Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western rising to 52ls, Delaware
and Hudson to 54Si, and Central of New-Jersey to
1G5s; Morris and Essex sold at 1G 's. But these
stocks were sensitive to any orders to SELL ana thelr
advance probably was due to the covering OF the
few shorts made by yesterdays decline Pacihc
Mail also was higher, rising to IL and closing AZ
1S7s. The general market closed strong with mdl-
cations that striking demonstration IS on the pro-
grammc for tO-morrOws opening.

The consummatiOA Of the contract for the sale of
$50, 900, 900 of 4l2 per cent bonds between Secre
tsry Sherman and the old Syndicate of bankers,
which was mentioned exclusively in tO-day's TRiB-
UNE. formed the principal topic Of interest in fnan-
cial circles to-day. The details of the transaction
win be found printed in another column. The
Treasury nets 101 and accrued interest in gold,
which, taking the premium on gold at 81 OF per
cent. makes the currency price equal TO 102.30
against 1925 the market price of 42 per cents at
noon to-day. AS this transaction is for resumption
purposes and not Tor the funding of old SKIES some
apprehension at first was expressed regarding its
effect upon our local money market. But this
fear was allayed partially when it was learned
that the gold paid for the new bonds
to be passed to the credit OF the Government with
New-York banks, and only checked out as the neces-
sitles OF the Government may require. Yet the fact
remains, that excepting such quantity as may be
