WE learn from the Nashville Banner
that the three associations organized to
raise money for the erection of a mon
ument to Gen. Robert f. Lee will, it is
thought, pool their funds and rear the
shaft in Richmond, Va. 1t is probable
that the cornerstone will be laid one year
hence, and ex-Confederates in every part
OF the country will be invited to be present.

The Illustrated World, of Philadelphia,

land that is just as good for the new conner
as any TO be found east of the Rocky ymoun-

should know it, and that our commission

COmm0tion in the Philadelphia Stock
Markell.

PHILADELPHIA, October 1S.-There was
a commotion in the stock market to-day,
having its origin in the squeezing of the
short interest in New Jersey Central.
The fluctuations were severe, but not so
large as in New York. 1t is generally un-
derstood here that Jersey Central is in
strong hands and well distributed. Jersey
Central loaned this morning at 5@i per
cent. premium, but there is scarcely any
floating stock, and many settlements have
been made privately. Everything has
been affected with an advancing tendency
by the rush to cover, Northern Pacifics
especially experiencing the advantage of
the change. The market continued
strong throughout the afternoon and
closed firm. New Jersey Central closed

creditors of Archbishop Purcell met to-

the decision of the District Court as ille-

influence of the clergy, and actuated by
political considerations. The resolutions
are very bitter. A committee OF five was
appointed to request the assignee to sp-
peal the case to the Supreme Court. The
resolutions also denounced the action of
the District Court as recognizing the canon
law on par with statutory and common
law in governing monetary obligations.

passed the Senate on Wednesday last.
The amendments offered by Mr.. Vest
and Mr.. Beck, prohibiting officers or
employees Of the Government to solicit
or contribute any money for political
purposes, aud providing n penalty for
offenders, was rejected. These amend.
ments struck at the root Of one of the
greatest sources of Federal corruption
complained of by the people, and we
trust may yet be Incorporated, or
something similar in effect, in the bill
before its final passage. The organl.
zation of an army OF Federal officers
and their dependents throughout the
country To control and corrupt elec
tions by means derived from the pub
lie treasury, literally bestowed for SER
vices in the transaction of the public
business, is n danger Of such magni-
tude that any means proposed to arrest
i. would seem to demand the concu,-
renee of honest Represent. tives. But it
appears the Federal Republicans are
unwilling to surrender any corrupting
agency they may possess to maintain
political control OF the official patron
age of the government, which they
abuse so recklessly. There should be
no restraint placed upon the citizen by
reason of his official connection with
the government for the exercise of all
the rights guaranteed by the Cousttu-
ti0n aud laws, but there should be no
power by assessment or threats under
lead of the Executive, or under lead
of his henchmeu, 10 combine official
power corrupily in the interest of
particular political party as means
of enforcing their party mandates
through fear. This was done in the

the leading cards Of Federal asccudcn.
