The ManeuyerI4g at New York.

1.-THE national banks are endeav-
oring to convulse the money market
and cause serious fears ola panic at
New York, to influence public
opinion on the funding bill, they are
surely taking step, which, lift even
result in temporary advantage, Will
act injuriOusly to their interests in
the future. The public prosperity
is not TO be impcriled by an effort
10 reduce the rate of interest on the
bonds upon which these banks base
their circulating currency, against
which they are required to hold no
reserve, by SO small a quantity as
one-half of one per cent, or there
will soon grow up on all
sides well founded appre-
hensiOn that those institutions,
if permitted longer to exist, will be-
come stronger than the people. A
public sentiment will be speedily
developed that will entirely destroy
the bond basis of our national bank
currency, and relegate all financial
institutions to the solid foundation
of specie reserve, with strong
backing of the precious metals
against anything put out to circulate
among the people as money. But
there can be no serious and per-
manent disturbance in the finan-
cial world from such an abnormal
movement. These banks arc too
deeply interested in the welfare of
the nation, and too closely connected
with the business interest to tamper
with the monetary system beyond
the influence of day or a week.
If they designed TO do so, they have
opposed To them mightier power.
They can only put money into the
United States Treasury; they cam
not turn the key upon 1t there, and
the Secretary can throw it back
upon them, and will do so. But
the indications are that the early
efforts of some bankers TO get rid
of their notes has been made pre-
text for rid upon the stock mar
ket, and has enabled Uould, and
Vanderbilt, and other great oper-
ators, TO turn an honest penny.
Ia the present temper of the stock
market, and, for that matter, of the
whole business world on This side the
Atmntic, "bear" movement-an
rtfort TO get down values, to buy
cheap and sell high-can only be eff
fective TIN ough the medium OF the
money rate, by forcing those who
are involved TO unload and break
the market. There is the induce
ment, the strong incentive to guide
prices artifciaHy one way, to make
the more ON the other turn, when
the reaction comes; and this may
prove after all one of those great
efforts of Peter to "Cinch" Paul.
At all events, it is only q clique
movement, and viii have no perma-
nent influence in the business affairs
of the country, because they are for
tunately in o sound condition, and
not to be long deranged by these
erea,, yet ANAL causes.

stands: Secretary of State, James G..
Blaine of Maine; Secretary OF the
Treasury, James G.. Folgor, of New
York: Postmaslc eneral. Charles

will be: Horace Davis, of California:
James L. Wilson. Of Iowa: and ex-
Senator Howe. of Wisconsin.
Tho woman suffrage law in
Utah provides that every woman at

or special election. born or natural
lied in the United States, or who is
the wife, widow or the daughter OF
u native born or q naturaliZed citi-
zen of the United States. shall lie
entitled to vote at any election in
the Territory. The Mormon news
papers are indignant because Gov
ernor Murray has declared that

of age, if married TO a Mormon
may vote.

tor from Pennsylvania, represents

The Outgoing Administration.

The outgoing cabinet is making
arrangements for the future. Mr..
Evarts. soon after March 4th, will
return TO New York, and continue
the lucrative law practice, which he
has never rcllnquished during his
administration of the Office as secre-
tary of state.
Mr.. Sherman will take his seat in
the senate, the report that he will
remain III the treasury having no
foundation. 1t has been urged that
the difficulty attending the funding
lSw will be of such u character that
he will be asked to remain, but il ia
known that he prefers to return to
the Senate.
Secretary Schurz docs not expect
an appointment under the new adj
ministration. lie is now making
arrangements for Il suitable resi-
dence in st. Louis, where he will ar
rive after March 4. He expects to
resume his journalistic pursuits.
Gossip says that his income from
his German newspaper is $4,000
annually.
Secretary Thompson, who is still
accounted socially as a part of the
administration, will probably re-
move his family to New York, and
will try to earn the $25,0OO which
has been paid him in advance as
salary as chairman of the Panama
CanaI Company.
MIR. Golf, Secretary of the Navy,
it is stated by some, will continue
in that department, but it is not re-
garded as likely. 1t is more proba-
bic that he will return to West Vir-
ginia and resume the duties of Uni
ted States district attorney there.
Horace Maynard, postmaster gen.
eral, will hope to secure some i'm
portant appointment, but his stand
ing with the Republicans is not as
good rs ii was before the Tennessee
senatorial campaign, as he is charg-
ed with having lost the Senate
through bad management and
through persistency in his candida
cy when some other Republican
might have been elected.
Attorney General Devens had fully
hoped TO be appointed to a place
upon the Supreme bench, but JUS
tice Clifford does not die aud JUS
tice Hunt will not resign. As these
two circuits are the only ones over
which Deyens, in accordance with
the conditions of the government,
could properly be appointed, he will
probably have to return to his law
books.
Mr.. Ramsey, if he does not receive
recognition from the administration,
will not be compelled to go to the
poor house.
Vice President Wheeler will go to
Tennessee for some weeks to visit
relations there. He will then travel
two years in EurOpe.-ChicagO Tf1-
bWRe.

The Railroad BILL.

Mayor Sturgis received q tele-
gram from Capt. Eddy late yes,er4
day evening. Capt. Eddy is Jay
Gould's agent and manager of his
large railroad interests in Texas.
The telegram stated that if the bill
now before our Legislature, and
made special order for Monday,
passed that body and became law,
II would ruin all the new railroad
enterprises in the state, and that
all work now going on on railroads
would necessarily cease; that il
would check the flow of capital
now coming into the state, and
asked that memorial be presented
to the legislature from the citizens
of this city, asking that body not to
pass the bill. Capt. Eddy stated
that il would not affect few roads,
but every one in Texas. The tele-
gram was read To considerable
crowd. A petition was gotten up.
and we are informed that a large
number of citizens signed il. Ii will
be circulated to-day and presented
10 the legislature ON Monday. The
impression seems to exist here thnt
the bill referred to was introduced
in the legislature through the In
tluence of ono or two railroud mono
poles. who have their lines already
built, and are anxious to escape CON-
petition. What we want is compet-
ing lines, and If this is the nature of
the bill, and its passage win have
this influence, the legislature will
evidentlybe memorialized from more
points than Waco. Ii its passage
would have the slightest tendency
TO rob us OF the Missouri Pacific land
from the tenor Of Capt. Eddy's lefe-
gram we cannot doubt but that il
WHY our people are opposed 10 il,
the peopie all over the state should
be opposed to it, aud we are certain
that the legislature would not pass
such law. What the exact provis.
sions of this bill are, we are not in
formed, aud have not seen any one
who does know, but If it is anything
like what Captain Eddy has pictured
ii, its passage would be ruinous to
our every interest and would dam
age the state millions of dollars

VIZ. Merriti's speech on the Wolf Scalp
Bill.

Mr.. Speakcr-This, certainly, ia a
very serious matter. and this bill in
wolves question for our considera-
ton that contains more than was
contemplated by its author, and |
ask this Legislature to pause before
they take this step ON dangerous
ground. Our fathers lefttheir
homes in the old world and
embarked upon a trackless, unex-
plored sea of water to escape
Sectional and oppressive laws.
And when they asserted their indie
pendence and severed the ties that
bound them to our mother country,
they said there should be no sec
tiOnal laws. Then why this "inva-
sion" upon the common law, and
this Infringement upon the consti-
tuition of not only this state, but the
United States. Why single out the
lone family of animals known as
wolves AMI make their scalps cur
rent coin? Why make this distinc
ton between him and his common
enemy, the dog.
1t is part OF the history of this
country, borne out by the statutes
of this state. that the gentleman
from Ellis, prompted by his high
sense OF justice, introduced a bill,
(Which b came law at the last ses-
sion of the legislature to take the
poll tax off the dog. And now the
snarling cur can, in his nocturnal
perambulatiOns ebay the icy moon"
and fear no harm, while the poor
lone wolf cannot seat himself ON the
distant hilltop and MARBLE forth the
plaintive melody of prosecuted in
nocence without being exposed 10
the temptations and avarice of the
taxpayers. This bill might help to
pay an ad valorem tax, and it would
aid lawyers, in the payment of their
occupation tax in sparcely settled
| country, by engaging in the lucra-
tive employment of wolf-hunting,
but this is not general law. If IL is
| general i'll its provisions, it is local in
| its bearing. Who does not know the
wolf has receded from his native
haunts in the East? Guided by the
beautiful 'eYening star calledVenus,
he pursues bis westward course;
guided by this "single star" mark
ing out Star routes for the postal
service in the future. "The cry from
the Rio Grande to the Sabine is
Give us general laws. "And the
cry from Red River to the Gulf
is; We want general laws. Yes,
Mr.. Speaker, we want laws that
| will know mo East. know
no West, no North, no South
| but where the wolf and the q.
Fly can roam this broad conn
try over snow and forever one
and undivided" Pass this law if
You will. The eagle, proud bird OF
American liberty, with furnished
plumage and broken wing, will
stoop to earth and be swallowed up
in sea of blood and revolution.
But, Mr.. Speaker, rather than it
should be said had qualled before
the impending danger, and had de-
sorted my comrades on this floor, l
will give this bill my hearty sup
port.
