AN ENCOURAGING TONE TO THE
MARKET,

Our stock market quotations, from
day to day, recently, are of very en-
coursging nature, and speak volumes,
though probably unnoticed but by
limited number of the general reading
public. 1t was asserted by the Republic
can and alarmist journals only few
months since that Democratic success
would mean depression in trade and a
disastrous tumble in stocks, fact to
which the HERALD referred to but a
few days since. But the very reverse
has been the case. Long before the
rumors Of an European war our stocks
had again become firm, and were ruling,
as a general thing, higher than they had
done for a year previous. Since then
these daily bulletins referring to the
the stock market have even been more
encouraging and indicate as healthy
a tone as could DO desired. Yesterday
morning our dispatches stated that
every effort to reduce prices had been
stubbornly and successfully resisted
and this is the common report now
a-days.
The inference IL plain and dir Get
one. The tone Of the American market
is healthy and promising and growing
better daily. The prospects OF agood
year, with demand for all we can pro-
duce at good prices, the greater safety
of American corporate and other securi.
ties, the general prosperity of the coun-
try and the now recognized solidity and
conservatism ofthe new administration,
have all combined to create a confidence
in the trading and speculative public
that is manifesting itself again in firm
and higher ruling quotations aud justi
flying the nation at large to hope tor the
best.

that bettor man can DO had for less

the merits OF the case, bat would like 10
see tho same interest displayed about
school affairs In Dallas that the Paris
folks evince. There IL by far too much
apathy on this most important of SUBJ
jects In Dallas.

THE SENATE AND DtsFRANcHlsE-
MENT.

1t has been reserved for the present
Democratic administration to stumble
upon the most important question OF
since the war. The appoint
ment OF GEN. LAwToN, Of Georgia, to
the Russian mission has been the &C.
casion of tho raising Of the question.
Under pardon from ANDREW JOHNSON
ship after the war and before the pass
age or adoption OF tho &EVth amend |
ment, which required the restoration OF |
citizenship to persons engaged in the
rebellion to be based on special act Of
congress. Thereupon, when his name
was sent in by PREsIpGNT CLEVELAND,
someof the legal megnates Of the Re-
publican side of tho senate raised the
| objection that no special act of congress
existing in GEN. LAwToN's behalf, he
YVES still ineligible to Office and in fact
not citizen Of the country.
The concluding sentences Of tho attor-
generals opinion ought to set such
e question ut rest. He is clear and en-
1
chat Mr.. LAwToN is not Affected by the
amendment, because at the time 1t was
ordained the oflenses on which the dis
ability is based could not have boon inn
puted 10 hill, for the reason chat he
had, by virtue OF his pardon, become a
new man, endowed With new credit
and capacity. His guilt had been blot
ted out and no became as innocent as If
he had never committed the oiIense.
Whatever was his connection with the
rebellion, the effect Of the pardon was
to close The eyes OF TIE law TO percep-
ton Of it," But the trouble win arise
from the fact that Republican
senate, to which appointments must
be som, will not regard favorably or
at least strongly the opinion of a
Democratic Encouragement. If they
do not, and adhere to their position
that oil men ia GEN. LAwToN's posi-
ton are really disqualified for holding
Office, the consequences will be as con
fusing as obvious.
In the first place, such q position on
tho part of the senate, persevered in
will have the effect Of rendering opera.
tive an expost facto law, by Furnishing
man for that which was not crime
when committed; and secondly, over
riding by the senate's right OF conirma.
ton an executive pardon which, the
world over, is beyond Legislative or
judicial control. Both positions would
be- the legal revolution, or revision Of
established constitutions, of tho cen,
fury. But while remarkable legal in
novation and anunheard-of assumption
of power, it would be mcIe, as an apple
OF discord and land of confusion
What will become OF thousands in LAW.
TOMS position, who have been holding
Office and exercising the full rights Of
, citizenship for years, by virtue OF q
simple pardon2 win they become dis
iraIchised? Can the senate at this day
Iullify the executive acts Of 20 years
ago, and at a blow strike down the
rights and standing of thousands of
good citizens?
These are some Of the questions, yet
undecided, that this case presents, and
while the senate and executive may
clash, the people are likely, in no uncer-
tain way, TO sustain the administI alton
and resent the impudent attempt at
this late date to dlsfranchise some Of
the country's best citizens.

THERE are two great men in this
country whose earthly careers must /
necessarily be very rapidly drawing to
a close. One is great warrior just
emerging from what was supposed to
be the bed of death. The nation was
fairly convulsed by the prospect Of his
early dissolution, caused by indulgence
in pernicious habit, and now the
tribute of hearty sympathy is demanded
from the whole people in the hour of
his temporary conYalescence. The
other great man is bowed down with
age, and has suffered untold agonies
from disease for tho contracting of
which ne was In no wise responsible.
He has illustrated great statesmsnship,
and received the highest honors of his
country; yet, except from those near
and dear to kim of his own immediate
friends, no token of sorrow is dis
played; no aflectionate regard ex-
pressed; no panegyric acclaimed, save
By the few who know him best and adj
Rlire most the great cardinal virtues
which bYewelled his lofty character
And why this discrimination? Why a"e
sneers ever ready for the one and tears
for the other? 1t is simply and solely
that one was the child OF fortune, while
the other, with all the grandeur of his
intellect and Roman virtue, was the
, victim of cruel fate. And yet Mr.. DAvIs
