GEN. LEWIS SPEAKS AT BATON
ROUGE.

The Capitolian-Advocate reports the
substance of Gen. Lewis speech at
Baton Rouge, on the 10Th inst, as fol-
lows:
He believed that to bring about the
triumph OF principles, party Organlza-
ton could not be avoided, and SO long
as the idea of local self government x-
lists in this country, the Democratic
party would never die. The overthrow
of that idea would sound the death
knell of the the American Republic.
He lived in a parish, forty miles OF
whose surface had been devastated by
the late flood, and whose inhabitants
had been brought to the verge OF star
walton. The Federal power had des-
troyed our wealth, it had seized about
$40 100000 by selling contiscated prop
erty aud taxing our cotton. 1t was
eminently proper that it should give us
pittance to maintain orr levees. He
favored appropriations for improving
every navigable stream in this country,
in order to protect the people against
railroad monOpOlies. While he would
support any measure looking to reduce
ton in the cost of carrying on the gov
eminent, he would not vote for any
Civil Service Reform sham. He favored
the Democratic idea OF "a tariff for rev.
enue, on an equitable basis. He ia
vored educational appropriations by the
Federal government. He believed in
strict adherence to the letter and
spirit of the Constitution.
The General, in fine, placed himself
squarely OH the Democratic platform,
aud showed clearly that he is in accord
with the wish and views of his constit-
uents. His address was short, and in
perfect taste. He impressed every one
Of his hearers with the belief that he
is man of energy, courage, broad
views and intelligence, and that be will
ably represent this district and Louisi-
ana in the National Congress.
The General can rest assured that
East Baton Rouge will give him a rous-
ing majority.

Even sermons have to be sown in the
proper soil or they may bring forth
tares instead Of wheat. The Rev. Mr..
Talmage will be shocked to learn that
his sermon on the sin OF gossiping has
been scattered by members of one fac
ton in a Newark church among the
members of another faction, and that
the result has been disastrous to that
church. Chickering'S and hard words
have followed, and withdrawal of
membership by considerable body of
communicates is threatened. This
shows the danger of making specific
application of remarks intended to be
Of a general character.

With two or three exceptions, OUT
local money repositories have no extra
supply Of surplus funds, and outside
Of the banks, lending institutions have
their money quite we'll employed.
Eight per cent per annum is freely
offered on prime paper with four
months to run, while the ruling rate
is 8 per cent for 30 to 60 days either
for acceptable endorsements or on un-
doubted eollaterals.
A large how of money to the South
and West, chiefly the latter, to move
the grain and provision crops to the
Eastern seaboard, has frightened the
New York money market, and its re-
serves have been reduced nearly
sl6,0OO,W0 within the past three
weeks. At the usual weekly report
made last Thursday the reserve fund
was s., 455 ,075 below legal require
ments, and the weeks decrease of
cash was 100000. The shipments Of
geld from Europe noted as having
commenced, have been arriving during
the week, and more is under way.
The amount shipped already exceeds
$5,00O,000. On the first Of the APP
preaching month the government is to
disburse 81 ,350. 900 as quarterly inter
est on the 4 per cents; the State of
New York also pays out the
sum of $2,0O0,0O0, and while these
sums are not equal to the heavy drafts
made upon New York, yet with
other payments they are likely to
afford considerable measure of relief.
Money, however, will probably rule
close at the eastern seabOard until
April, when the heavy drain OF cur.
rency westward is expected to begin
its return flow.
The exchange movement is in mod
crate volume with the current in our
favor, and balances have kept even by
shipments from New York. During
the week gold coin has been received
and discussed quite freely by local
banks. Rates Of discountrule the same
as last week at par buying on New
York or New England without grace
and SIPS per thousand discount ior
sight bills on Providence, Boston, OF
other points beyond New York. Drafts
on the latter city may be purchased OF
the banks at $3.50 per thousand pre-
Mium.
Government bonds are quoted in
New York at $l.032 for 3 per cent
$l.03s for extended s, $l.0l4 for 4ls
and $l.2O for as; all being unchanged
from last week except 3s,which are Il
