WALL STREET,


SUNDAY, Now l3-0 r. MI


THE GENERAL TRADE or THE CITY


during the past week was active in cxportablc mer-
chandise, although the prices obtained were on q
descending SCALE due to decline in the foreign
markets. Toward the close OF the week prices were
nrmer and higher, in sympathy with the advance In
gold, the foreign markets remaining steady. The
dry goods business was duh, but showed q revival
on the last two days OF the week. While prices we're
falling buyers showed q Discrimination to take more
than sufficient for their immediate wants, but the
reaction IN prices has stimulated buying move
ment which may be the forerunner OF more activity
the balance OF the season.


IN WALL STREET


the markets have been irregular but fairly active
The outside public seemed to be waiting for the pas
sage OF the election, which they feared would prove
the occasion OF disturbance and tumult but day
having gone by without disorder there was more
general return Of dealers to the street.


THE GOLD MARKET


was unsettled by the manipulation OF the cliques
who operated upon the conflicting opinions Of the
street concerning the effect OF the news from Eu-
rope. The breaking OF OF the negotiations for
an armistce was made the pretext by the
clques for an upward movement, illogical as such
course may be, and the price OF gold was advanced
from HOY to 1l1H, the rise being assisted by the
depression OF the London markets. where cons0ls
and nve-twenties declined about half per cent. A
rumor of the resumption Of negotiations, looking to
peace. produced subsequent fall to ILL., but tho

market there has been an irregular supply OF

ta observers OF the market that the large operators
referred to are manmuvrlng for high prices In order
that they may prepare for fresh line Of speculative
sales. The undoubted tendency OF the market to
drift TO lower premium affords fine opportunity
for very profitable series Of "mllklng" operations
by which the cliques will reap enormous profits in
the frequent fluctuations which must ensue as the

They are trying to nd the country of the
vast financial burdens that repress its en-
ergies, crush its industry, and retard sub
stsntial prosperity. They are endeavoring
to get nd of tax-list, longer and more
portentous than the Levitcan laws. They


are trying to rescue the country


from the curse of an army of tax-gath-


erers, that eat out its substance and


steal what crumbs are left. They are try


ing to rescue it from the incubus Of a pO-


htical shinplaster monopoly, compared to


which the old United States Bank was in


nocence and harmlessness. They are


trying to undo the Radical yillainy


of protective tariff, enacted for the bene-


fit of a few monopolsts by compelling


the whole body of the people to pay
them tribute. They are trying to remove
recklessness, dishonesty and incOmpetency
from the administration, and to re-establish
constitutional, economical, and honest gov
ernment. They are trying to restore lib
erty, peace, and prosperity to every quar-
ter of America, and right and justice to
every inhabitant thereof.


In these endeavors the Democracy can
appeal to the sympathies of all men who
prefer freedom before despOtisn, and right
before wrong, with feeling Of confidence
that the appeal will not be made in vain.
Upon this line their march IS onward to
certain victory. II Is a march upon
which there is no time to be
wasted in the discussion Of dead wants,
md no vantage ground to be lost in the
lighting of battles that are over. Thoss
who cannot keep step in the ranks Of the
yrand army that marches to the call Of the
'uture, will certainly find themselves aban-
loned with the fossil relics scattered at the
Chicago Times.

The Gloucester AdUertis6r turns the
laugh on those who have been enjoying
the story of the fish-wifes S salmon that took
in ballast, by solemnly asseverating that
fish do take in ballast, and says: 1.-THE
ston es are placed there Intentionally by the
fish itself, not by the seller; and in most
fish will be found more or less gravel and
large stones. Our Georges fisherman al
ways finds them in cod and halibut in the
spring, and it is q common expression to
say fish is well ballasted to leave the
bank. II is supposed they swallow the
stenes for the purpose of aiding digestion. "

Horatio Ames, the inventor of the Ames
gun. has filed bill in the Equity Court
of this city, severely implicsting BENZ amin
F. Butler in fee while a member in Con-
gress and on committee investigating the
contract of said Ames and the course of
the chiefs of the army and naval ordinances
regarding the same. The bill recites that
in consequence of unjust acts towards him
and others, Congress, on March 80, 1867,
ordered through investigation into all the
transactions of said chiefs, by reason of
which, before Jan. 20, 1870, there had been
presented to and was then pending before
the Military Committee of the Senate q
charge of conspiracy against Gen. Dyer and
other official persons, charging them with o
oonspiraoy 10 conceal and cover up all the
personal offenses and official acts of NAL
administration with which said Dyer had
been accused by the Joint Committee on
Ordnance of the Fortieth Congress. And
that as a member of the Ordnance Com
mittee B. F. Butler had become familiar
with the circumstances and facts in con-
nection with the business OF Gen. Ames,
and shortly after the charge of conspiracy
had been submitted to Congress, January
13, last, respondent called at Gen. Buffers
Office for the purpose Of consulting him,
and was there and then informed by Whit
new. the clerk Of Gen. Butler, of desire
and disposition on the part of Dyer to
make an amicable arrangement through
Butler with all persons making charges or
complaints against him, and that for the
sum of s.. 600 he (Butler) would undertake
to secure the withdrawal of all opposition
by the said Dyer to the payment of the
claim of the respondent (Ames) under his
contract and he would procure through
DYER the receipt of experimental test and
sale of the three additional cannon, steel
bores. provided that respondent (Ames)
would cause to be withdrawn from


Congress the charge of conspiracy. He
further states that, being much embar-
rassed by the non-payment Of his claim,


and to terminate the unjust resistance to


the legitimate prosecution of his business,


he sicnifed his willingness to accept such


a proposal. and Whitney made the memo


randa set out in the original bill, inserting
his own name and requiring payment of
$3.50 as earnest money, promising that if
the arrangement was not carried out and


accomplished in every particular to return


it. He charges that, although D. B. Whit
nev appears to be the contracting party,


yet the real party is B. F. Butler, and that

We believe, that with these corrections, our
list will be complete and entirely right. So far
as we have learned, from 900 to l 200 tickets
in this Great Lottery were held in Trinity coun-
ty or, in other words, our people have paid out
from So 900 to &c. 900 and have received moth
ing in return. At least we have made every ex-
ton possible and have failed to find any indvd-
ual who has had the good fortune to win even

that if just such another scheme was put for
ward tomorrow an equal amount would go from
this county for tickets. Many papers condemn

DIR Willard Parker says thatthosc who


are much addicted to the use Of tobacco,
or Who work in the manufacture Of snuff
or cigars. never recover soon or healthi-
lv from injury or fever. The Emperor
Napoleon had his attention called in


1862 to the effect of tobacco on the mind
bv a report which showed that the cases
OF paralysis and insanity had increased
quite regularly with the increase Of the
revenue from the tobacco tax, This led
him to order an examination Of the ei-
feet Of tobacco on the studentsin schools
and colleges. It was found that those
who did not use tobacco were stronger
better scholars, and had a higher moral
record, than those who used il. The re-
suit was that an edi6t was issued forbid
ding its use in the national institutions.

AN old lady, residing not far from

brilliant examples of conjugal tender
ness that the last century produced.


Her husband had been dying, and at
length, on the clergyman of the parish
making one of his daily visits, he found
him dead. The disconsolate widow in
giving him an account of her spouse's
last moments, told him her "poor dear
man kept groaning, but could not die"

The use OF electricity as a motive
power, and its practical application TO
s sewing machine, has been success
fully lyexperimented with in New York.
- In the old or first engine there

turss, and battery Of five large cups.
The Improvement has reduced the
sets Of magnets to three, the arma-
tures to four, and the battery cups to
fa-ee-each of them smaller than

lin fact, the bulk of the engine and
battery has been reduced just one
half while the power seems TO be
fully e0ual 70 that Of the larger appa-
rat1s. Another improvement is in
the regulation Of the speed, simply by
means of greater or tighter pressure on
the pedal common TO all sewing ma
chimes, which common pedal wiiif I'D

mediately detached and made 70 OPP

al prOoess. Even two small
battery cups are sufficient 10 furnish
power for all ordinary machine Work
while the addition Of another cup y
sufficient to drive the needle at good
speed through eight, ten. or even
twelve thicknesses Of material. The
use Of nitric acid in the battery, the
odor Of which was an objection 10 the
Old plan Of operating by electric pow

mate of potash, which is odOrless.
The expense OF operating by this

T1of only renders work easier to the

away entirely with the liability TO
certain diseases with which female


machine operators we're afflicted by
reason OF the constant tax on the low

that the same motive power can be
applied to other maehiney and the
