LONG ISLAND CITYs TROUBLES.

While the Mdcrmanic and Citizens committees
engaged in preparing charter for Long Island
City Assemblyman Pearse, of that place. quietly
made some amendments on his own account. and
whom the fact became known last night that his bill
had been introduced there was considerable excite
in the city. The bill restricts expenditures to
the appropriations and makes the official liable for any
excess Ninety days before any officer Is be elected
appointed the Common Council shall determine
the salary to be paid. but in shall 10 exceed
the amount hxod by the present charter In addition
To the amount required by law to bc raised by tho
general levy the Common Council shall raise such an
amount in its Judgment may he necessary for tho
payment OF salaries and the expenses of departments
but in no case shall the amount exceed and ono
quarter per cent of the assessed valuo.
Objection Is made to tho Asscmblyman's bill that
II simply continues the present strife for place aud
power between the two contcndng factions and fails
to give the people any warrant Of relet by leaving
the matter OF appropriations in the discretion of tho
officials.

The kaleidoscope change Of the stock market from
the sombre tnts of yesterday the bright hues of
to-day was decided as it was unexpected. Last
night 1t seemed as though the calumet of peace be-
tween bulls and bears had been broken for good and
oil; to-day it has apparently been mended. with both
parties pulling out cloud of amicable smoke. Ger
tainly several of the most vicious of yesterdays
bears, by mysterious prestidigitation. were
shifted over to the bull side Of the account and cele
brated their conversion by freely buying the most
active stocks the list 1t accordingly came to pass
that the dropping prices of yesterday supple
mented by the booming prices to-day. which ad-
vanced values from to per cent. The taking
card Of the session Western Union, which, from
lO2h rose to 1O5T. and SO finished. This imitation
clearly raccable to strong hand at the bellows
and Mr.. Vanderbilt ascribed the manipulation
of the pump handle 1t is pretty clear that this gen.
tleman has been steady buyer of Western Union
for week past and it is equally clear that Mr. Gould
took his turn at tho brakes to-day an important
buyer also. How the rise suits the books of the
Hon. Ben Butler and his Congressional follow
ing, who are supposed to be short of the stock on
the faith Of the amendment" becoming law is
not known. Like old Madeira the doughty warrior
may be the worse for being "bottled" second
time even, though he be ccrked up by SO mean q
process as squeeze in Western Union. sharp rise
scored q gain of TX per cent in Lake
Shore. The earnings are said to be large,
some $4,000 for tho first week and $4,000 for the
second week In February being reported as the COM
parative increase last year. The stock was
further helped by the statement that the longpend
ing negotiations with English capitalists for line
of first class grain carrying steamers to be under the
control Of New York Central had been satisfactorily
concluded. Upon the same report Central and Hud
son advanced to 49, Tho coal stocks which were
