The President Losing Faith in Con-
Citation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-A Washington 5es-
patch to the Graphic, usually we'll informed,
says the President regards the Louisiana prose-
cutions as final test of the wisdom of his poll
cy, and If the action of the Southern people
does not meet his expectations, he will feel his
advances have not been met in proper spirit,
and Cancellation is to use slang phrase, "play-
ed out" He believes these prosecutions are
violations of solemn pledges made to him, and
he expects them to be denounced by the people
who made the pledges. He is receiving great
many letters daily from the South, from people
who say they have no sympathy with, and do
not approve of the prosecutions, but he does
not feel that letter writing is in place just now
He is enough OF an optimist to expect that
great good will ultimately result from the pros
ecutions, if those who do not approve of them
Will assert themselves, as such action will di-
vide the Democratic party and compel the bet
ter class to unite with the Republicans He
thinks Gov. Nichols will pardon Anderson,
but if he does, Nichols will be driven into the
Republican party. But in case no such action
as he expects takes place in Louisiana, in case
the people who owe to him government and
political power, do not announce their condem-
nation of such perfidy as has been committed,
the President will give them bit of expert
ence that will make them wish Grant was
President again.
He thinks there ought to be public demon
stratlon to discountenance the acts of Attorney
General Ogden and Judge Whitaker, whom
ne believes to be inspired by Tlden and David
Dudley Field. The President is taking and
has taken action in regard to these matters,
the details of which cannot be made public
now, but will be shortly, and he has an agent
in New Orleans whose business it is to find ont
and reportsto him the actual sentiment of the
people. The President believes that the bust
ness men of Louisiana are opposed to the re-
vival of past political issues which it is better
for both parties to forget. There are now over
300 indictments for violation of the enforce
ment act pending in Louisiana, the trials of
which have been suspended in order that they
might not interfere with the work of pacfica-
ton. A. cabinet officer suggests that the Presi-
dent will order the prosecution of those at
once, will fill offices of courts with such men as
will prosecute them vigorously, and will enforce
the DEGREES of the courts with military if neces-
aarv.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

tOh The WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY
There ia little to note in the markets this week.
The fine weather which has prevailed almost uninter
ruptedy during the past month fails to revive trade
to any noticeable extent. The latest European
advices have sent the price of bread stufs up to
some extent. The money market is unsettled as
and as it will be until the currency question is
settled. Gold has been quoted at about $1O2 the
past week, but on Wednesday, the 18th, it went
little higher and closed at S1024.
The apples now in the market are generally of
poor quality, but what few good ones there are
being $500 per barrel, Beans are firm and I'M
changed Butter is steady and the best table lots
bring 80 cents. The cheese market is quiet with
but little change to note. Coffee is duh and Rio is
quoted a little lower. Cooperage is unchanged.
Copper and cordage are unchanged. Drugs and
dyes show but few changes of Importance this week.
Duck is in good demand at unchanged prices. Fish
Is dull. Flour is frmer and there is much more
selling. 1t now looks as though prices would go
higher owing to the European complications.
Rasins are easier, and we quote reduction in the
price of New Valencias. Corn shows but little
change. Meal is rather lower and corn be
bought by car lots at SO cents. Hay shows no
change. Iron is dull at the last quoted prices.
Lard is duh with but little selling. Leather is
steady with fair sales at former prices. Lumber
exhibits no change in price or demand. Molasses is
unchanged at former prices. Oils remain the same
as last week. Produce is dull and unchang ed Beef
is firm while pork is dull, and we quote reduction
in prices. Grass seeds selling quite freely,
and we make reduction in prices on red top and
herdsgrass. Sugars continue firm and unchanged
Teas are dull now that the fears of tax upon them
have passed. Tobacco is quiet.

How Washington Enthused over Won

The band played Hold the Fort and Swallows
Homeward Fly, and in IL minutes she came in,
with deep-set eyes and slight pallor of fatigue
and sleeplessness, successful. A crown of
flowers was put on her head and she slowly
walked around the hall. The excitement dur
ing the last mile was intense; ladies sprang to
their feet with excited faces and waved their
handkerchiefs until the hall was a forest of
futtering cheerg. Mrs. Spencer waved her
cambria and the Senator clapped his hands and
shook the building with his heel taps. Gen.
Belknap whirled his beaver above his gray
head and hurrahed Justify on her last circuit.
A dear old lady near me, an acknowledged
society leader, threw her great fur cloak from
her arms to the floor, that she might wave
handkerchief with one hand and dry her ex-
cited tears with the other. Her fears that the
little Bertha might faint, stumble or only be
able to stsgger the last mile made her terribly
anxious. The even, steady swing over the
noseless sawdust was kept with as much ease
through the last miles as in the earlier ones,
and her firmly shut mouth, and intent air
showed that for determination and the slang
known quality, pluck, she has no equal. A
fashionable audience in such state of excite
ment one seldom sees and Bertha has conquered
