A philosopher" of the Boston Traveller
says: .'The increasing importance Of woman
i'll modern society from this state Of affairs is
evident. The demand being greater than the
supply, the inducements to women to enter
into the married state will be indefinitely
raised; they will be held in greater esteem;
their influence will be increased; they are
likely to invade man, spheres from which in
the past they have been excluded. If they
choose they may substantially control the
development Of society. Upon such q pos
sible series of events the philosopher looks
with no small degree of content. He knows
that, physically and intellectually, they are
equal to the lofty positions in which nature
apparently destines TO place them. They
have proved their fitness

will buy lat, it was supposed, the market
price,, s., 000, coo of and 6 per cent. bonds
| Wednesday. This strengthened the market,
as did also the later news that the President
had vetoed the refunding bill. Later in the
| day the decision of Judge Blatehford, refus-
ing to grant an injunction to restrain the
Western Union Telegraph consolidation, and
the report that Judge Sedgewick had so far
modified the recent injunction granted by
him, that 48a per cent. of the scrip declared
graph shareholders could be issued, gave great
strength to telegraph stocks, and the result of
all was a general rise in stocks. U. S. bonds
advanced s@a.
HOW THE VETO WAS RECEIVED.
NEW YORK, March 3d-The Times says :
The action of President Hayes in vetoing the
refunding bill was variously received on the
street, according to the prejudices of the per-
sens interested. II. G. Fahnestock, of the
First National Bank, which has been re-
garded as the champion of the opponents of
the funding bill, said yesterday afternoon
that the bill would have been favored by tie
banking men, notwithstanding the doubt of
many as to its ultimate success, had it not
been for the fifth section. With this clause it
could not but have been failure. 1t was bad
policy to antagonize the banks, without whose
cooperation the placing of the three per
cent. bond would be failure in any event.
,at, fnaI.,S, biIl x.r.f II
as were contained in the Objectionable fifth
clause, had been passed year ago, to
take effect to-day it would be a different
matter, but the notice given was to
short, and the banks were compelled
in their own defense to fight its passage.
Should an Act be passed to-day to fund the
debt on the basis of 81 per cent. bond, there
would not be the slightest doubt of its sue
cess. As to whether on the passage Of the
funding bill by the next Congress the placing
of 8 per cent. bond would succeed, Fahne-
stock would not venture any opinion, be-
cause no one could tell what the condition of
the country would be year hence. He con-
sidered that the result of the Presidents &C.
ton would be favorable, and that the gen.
eral finances would be placed in q better
condition than before, because all doubts on
the subject are now settled, and capitalists
have been treasured that they willnot be sub
jected to fluctuations. Fahnestock expressed
the opinion that majority of the banks
which have deposited money to retire circula-
ton will now withdraw it.
