THIRD CALL-2:3O p. NJ.
THURSDAY. Aug. 7-P. NJ

The stock market to-day was only little less
active than yesterday, but hesitation and feverisi-
ness were the conspicuous features Of the general
speculation. For an exception to this rule Western
-EJuiOn with a renewal of activity, steadily rose
from 81 p its opening fgure-against 9Oos. the last
price yesterday-to OILS. Afterward ii declined to
O3ls and finally closed at 93l2. For tins movement
there seems to have been no better basis than that
furnished by a short interest that has recently
accumulated because all the reports concerning
the progress of the new company's lines are salts
factory both as to the construction in this country
and of the preparations abroad Tor early laying
of the new Atlantic cable intended connect with
the companv's wires here. On the other band, 1t Is
given out by Western Onion directors that upon
Mr. Goui's return from Europe the Opposition com
pany" Will very soon be broken up. The st. Paul and
Northwestern shares, after small rallies and MINER
Gus fluctuations finally closed with declines as fol-
lows: Northwest preferred Is, st Paul preferred p,

ern shares from Is to per cent lower, except
ing Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which rose 2 per
cent to lGl2. Investment shares generally were
and for Chicago and Alton IL per cent. New-Iork
Elevated declined per cent to l1S.
The coal stocks were weak, on the announcement
that the Delaware and Hudson Company will next
Wednesday sell at auction $4,000 tons OF coal
The significance of tins announcement IS IN the
fact that II reveals that, Notwithstanding the con-
pany reduced its schedule prices Immediately after
the last sale by the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Company it has not found market Tor Its
coal. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western stock
sold from 6Olo down TO 5S7s059ls. Delaware and

As A STATE Senator and President
of the City Council Of Wilmington, MIR.
Sharpley would not only feel himself
highly honored but 1t would be so handy
to have President who is a Senator.
The only thing in the way of this happy
combination is the difficulty of securing
a mai )rity of the votes of the citizens OF
Wilmington for that position, when such
an experienced man as Mr.. Lichtenstein
is in The field.-Deldtcdr Republican.
We acknowled-e the difficulty. And
regret the necessity that requires the
Democracy to relieve so courteous and
experienced" gent eman from fur
ther service in the chair he has SO long
and so gracefully filled. But then you
see the "Count" will vote against his
Democratic friends aud neighbors and
agan it may be necessary to have Mr.
Shaipley's vote in the Council since the
Republican threatens to carry one d
our Democratic wards for Councilman
Here is tue rub. |: will not do to risl
any Democratic votes, just now, SOM
other time, if you please. The mis-
fortune arises from the X publicans put
ting up 50 excellent a candidate TO b.
defeated.

MR.. EDIToR:-The communication In

Council, and the Street Commissioner, is
not true statement, and comes with bad
grace at this time. Let us compare it with
the doings of the Street Department last
year, in August, ana the closing of the
old Council: Stated meeting, August 2,

made at this shameful squandering Of the
peoples money to keep themselves in
office, by the Republican or a.y of its al
herents. Lit them spe ak out now. It's
no. too late to Inform the people of the
truth, and the article referred to will fail
to make votes for the corruptionists.-
The taxpayers will not trust them, but
will return men who are honest and no

into 1t. That he Is now enabled 10 keep
a supply on hand, aud to stop the pumps
when the muddy rain water makes is
appearance. This is the work Of q Demo
cratic Council done by contract, With
out the loss of dollar alter the Demo-
Gratis took firm hold of the matter against
the pi otests Of the opposite party. This
Is something to be proud Of as well as
the saving Of our splendid fire depart
ment from destruction.
And now what are the Democrats
doing but building the new Court House
and county buildings, after having Be-
cured from the legislature, through the
address and efforts Of Harry .Sharpley,
Esq, in The Senate and James W. Ware,
Esq, in the House, q law for the remov-
al of the Court to Wilmington. This Is
the work of the Democrats, and we
think it is something that should COM
mend them to the sufirages Of the peo-
pie. These things are all fresh in the
minds of voters. Those who have the
mind to inquire may know the advaat-
ages that such blu ldings will give to our
city, beside the enormous saving OF time
aud money in running to and from New
Castle. 1t will bring trade to our city.
1t is giving work to our citizens now,
and no one need tell us that the people
are so ungrateful and though less as
not to appreciate these good works
wrought by the Democrats and least OF
all will Democrats themselves desert
their party and vote for party that held
the city tor fifteen years, and all the
while run it INTO debt, and showed that
it could not build eservoir or anything
else without such extravaganza and
waste as was lever seen in Wilmington
before? Vote the Democratic Council
into power on Tuesday next and hole
them to their promise to run the city Al
the reduced rate OF taxation. That will
be busine. s-like; it will be sensible.

FIELDS REPLY.
"That is a wretched quiob worthy OF
the man. To be sure, attrr helped him
10 stack which has made for him fortune
he did get some Else" here, but how
could he have got penny's worth unless
| had taken him into the concern? The
ru es made it impossible for any but
stockholders to acquire stock. Mr.. Til
den got all he had through my letting
him have $ J,ne of mine"
$50 it appears that Uncle Sammy
smashed up the railroad stock monopoly
of which Mr.. Cyrus w. Field desired to
/ be the head and king to the exclusion OF
everybody else. Sc sible men will come
to the conclusion that Mr.. Tilden actet
very wisely in not letting the oppor
tunity TO make million dollars slip, ant
that Field is The bigger fool for not sell
ing out himself, and all old granny fol-
making such whine a, Tilden's sa
gacty.
