FRANCE.
Til Emperor Napoleon onil the Saltan
of Turkey la Conference.
Fromthe Memorial Diplomatique.
Th Emperor Napoleoa remained In confer
ence with the Sultan on the day of his departure
for London for three-quarters of an hour. On
the previous Sunday, aapoleon III also had
held a private conversation with his august
guest at 8t. Cloud, which lasted several hours,
Jemll Pacha acting as interpreter. We have
reason to believe that tlie Emperor took advan
tage ot the Sultan's stay at Paris to again urge
the friendly counsels which M. liourree, on his
nomination as Ambassador, had been charged to
carry to Constantinople, and to which ho made
allusion in presenting his credentials. The Sul
tan, throuph both Fuad Pacha and Djetnil
Pacha, has expressed the most sincere gratitude
for the friend-hip shown by the Kmperor of the
French, as to the integrity and stability ot the
Ottoman Empire, and has promised to devote all
his efforts to the amelioration of the position of
his Christian subjects, as France has continually
advised him, as tbe only eflicacious means of
avoiding a new crisis in the Fast. We may
therefore expect that on hts return Abdul Aziz
will inaugurate a series of salutary reforms.
Sentence of the Assassin Berezowgki.
From the Brussels Nord.
Tftc perpetrator of the attempt in the Bois de
Boulogne has been found guilty of murder with
exteuuating circumstances, and sentenced to
hard labor for lite. The mitigated expiation
of ia crime which has caused Russia to quiver
in her Inmost fibre will, we fear, produce a
drangreeable impression in that country. For
ourselves, looking at the mutter from a
Western point of view, we should bo almost
tempted to congratulate ourselves on a result
which, refusing to the assassin of the Czar
the prestige of the scatlold, clothes him and
Ihis crime In the vulgar and ignominious livery
of the convicted felon; but we scarcely expect
this view to be taken in Russia. The people of
that country still primitive in their ideas, no
doubt do not imagine that the gallows or guil
lotine can ever serve as a pedestal to fame, or
that a criminal is less guilty for having tired
upon a man because that man happens to be an
Emperor, with millions of existences attached to
his. Tbe French jury decided according to its
conscience, and it is not for us to discuss its
verdict, standing as it does on this inviolable
ground; but if ever a reason of state ought to
prevail, it is certainly in a case like this, in
which one of the greatest principles of social
conservation and mutual guarantee between
people was at stake.
Dwelling for the Working Classes In
Parle.
FromOalignaM's Messenger,
Tbe Emperor, it is known, has had erected in
the Avenue Daumesnil forty-eight houses as
specimens of dwellings for small families, the
plan of which may be seen in the Exhibition.
Each house contains three stories and cellars,
and each floor is composed of two rooms and a
email kitchen. The buildings themselves cost
altogether 320,000., or somewhat over 6000f.
each, but on adding the purchase of the ground
and the expense of levelling, the whole sum
spent has been 510,t'0Uf. His Majesty has just
made a gitt of the whole to a co-operative
society of workingmen, which is in the course
of formation, lor tli construction of cheap
dwellings.
Serloua Illness of General Almonte.
General Almonte, who represented the Em
peror Maximilian at Paris, is so ill that it has
not been cousidered advisable as yet to an
nounce to him the fatal news from Mexico.

The official accounts of the cholera in Sicily,

RUSSIA.
The Nwi of Maximilian' Death Received
wita. Satisfaction In vVarnaw.
From the Vienna Wanderer.
A communication irom Waraw relates some
etnange facts said to have taken plaoe in the
Poh"b city relative to the death of tbe Emperor
Maximilian. At the official club, a banquet of
young Russians and members of the Muscovite
population, it declares, was given, at which
Prince Azerbatoff, of St. Petersburg, passing
through Warsaw to Paris by Vienna, proposed a
toast in honor "of the conqueror of the auda
cious invaders of Mexico, President Juarez."
This toast had been received with great ap
plause by tne company, composed Of many
Generals and Councillors of State. Several
allusions were also made to the peace which
Juarez was about to ressore to his country after
having vanquished the rebels, who, like the
insurgents of Poland, were upheld and excited
by foreieners; also, to the great desire which
Mexico felt to establish good relations with
Bussia. After the applause had somewhat sub
Bided, Gen. Baron Uanke, director of the Wur
saw Theatre and administrator of several
Imperial places of amusement, rose to explain
to those present how it. was that Providence
had reserved a disastrous end for the Emperor
Maximilian. Among other things, lie said:
"It is well known that at the outset of the
Polish revolution this Austrian Archduke, in
concert with tbe Emperor Napoleon, had cast
his eyes on the crown of Poland, that the Duke
de Gramont had labored in that sense at Vienna,
and that a Polish deputation had already been
formed to offer the crown oiiicially to Maxi
milian." The General ended by asking what would
have happened to the Archduke if, with the
view of conquering the crown of Poland, be
bad put himself at the head of the insurgents
and been taken prisoner.
Betrothal of the Grand Duchess Olga to
tteorge I, King of Ureece.
From the Journal de 6t. Petersburg,

Stokes, Amell, and Hawkins are at present
among the representatives of the sitate in
Coneress.
The following are the platforms of the re
spective parties in Tennessee:
The Radical Platform.
We, the representatives of tbe loyal people of Ten
nonsee. In convention assemDled, are tnunknil to
Almighty God for the success of the arms ot the
Uulteu Htntes over the army of traitors who sought to
destroy the best Government ever known to man,
thereby saving us and our posterity the blessings una
privileges of republican Institutions, and a solution of
tlie heretofore uuubilul problem that man is capable
Of self-tiovernment.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident":
1. "That all men are created equul, endowed with
certain Inalienable rights," and therefore the law
should afford equal protection to all In the exercise of
these rights, and, so tar us ll can, insure perfect
equality under the law.
i. That a state or nation should be governed con
trolled, and directed by those who have saved it la
times of peril, and who seek to preserve It with
friendly hands from foes aud dangers, external and
internal.
8. That a wise care for the public safety sometimes
renders it necessary that those woo have sought reso
lutely to overthrow a Government should hot hastily
be restored to the privileges ot which they have de
prived themselves by their crime of treason: cer
tainly not until they have shown evidence ot sincere
repentance and a disposition as energetically to sup
port as they have, in times past, sought to destroy.
4. That Rebellion U distrancblsement. and armed
attempts to overthrow our com mon Government trea
sonable expatriation; and the present franchise
organic law Is but the declaration of tbe handiwork of
secession and rebellion. Those who have sought our
country's ruin cannot be entrusted with Its safety.
5. That lawless violence, reckless disregard of the
rights of person and property, murder, assassination,
arson, and kindred crimes must bo put down by the
strong arm of power, and be made to feel that law is
indeed a terror to evil-doers.
6. Therelore, In accordance with tbe above princi
ples, we Hilly endorse the policy and action of the
General Assembly of the State of Tennessee In re
stricting the elective franchise to those who are not
hostile to tue government, iu extenuingu to tnose
who proved their loyally by imperilling their lives,
and who need this privilege for their own protection,
and in establishing a military organization wnich
shall give necessary physical support to the moral
power or me tate uovernment, necoming a salutary
terror to evu-uuera auu a cueuriui uujjb to uiuse woo
do well.
7. That the "privileges and lmmnmtiev guar
anteed under tbe Constitution of our Union to the
loyal from other Mates, and the pledge of freedom
aud equality in the Declaration of American Inde-
fiendeuce, snail oe living trutus ann practical maxims
n Tennessee, for the protection of "life, liberty, and
the pursuit ot bappluess."
s. T hat we have enure confidence In the integrity,
wikdom, and ability of the .Republican Uulou major
ity ot Congress, and deem It signally fortunate that
they, in v. Hum aione tne power realties to restore,
preserve, and govern tbe country, have shown them
selves so eminently hlted for these high duties, that
no Bluie should be admitted to representation in
C tigress without adopting the constitutional amend
ment. Ui That tbe Itenubllcan union nartv of Tennesson
are in favor of fiee speech and free discussion, and to
this end we invite our friends from other states to
come among us and discuss the great Issues now De-
re the people, auu we pieare the Republican union
party ot Tennessee to tolerate ail legitimate discus
sion, und at the same time claiming equal privilege
on our part, and that any luterlereiice to prevent this
will btlrgardfd as an unwarranted act and resisted
lu iut- laoi, extremity.
10. That we honor the firmness, courage, and wis
dom which have characterized the administration ot
our Chief Magistrate, the Hon. Wm. G. lirownlow,
and while we sympathize with him In his bodily
suffering, we admire the healthy mind, concious to
Itself of rectitude, which bears with like equanimity
the throes of pain and the perilous cares ot state, and
that we declare him the unanimous choice of the
loyal people of Tennessee for our next Governor.
11. 'mat we cover our luces wnu mama wnen we
contemplate tlie disgrace brought upon our beloved
state ty the aeiection ana aegeueracy oi ner unprin
cipled adopted sod, who, by the bullet of tbe assassin,
lias ascenueu to nits .mei jnnginkruuy ui nit- uauun,
and we shall cordially endorse any action ef Congress
which shall legitimately deprive him ot continued
power to disturb the peace of the country.
The Conservative Platform.
The Conservatives have declared their plat
form as follows:
l. We are In favor of the Union of the States under
the Constitution ot the United Htates, aud we pledge
ourselves to support ana aetetia tue same.
2. We are the irienus oi peace auu civu i , auu
that these great objects can oe best promoted

defending the Consllluiion, preserving the Union of

Sketch of William u. Brownlow, the
Present Governer.
William G. Brownlow, the radical candidate
?or Governor of Tennessee, was horn in Wythe
county, Virginia, In 106, and is, therefore, in
his sixty-second year. Removing at the age of
eighteen to Abington, he served as a regular
apprentice to the trade of a house carpenter.
Ills education had been imperfect in his early
youth, but he economized the means which he
acquired by dint ot hard labor to instruct him
self in later years. Entering the Ministry of
the Methodist Church, he travelled the circuit
for ten years. , , ,. , .
During hie officiatlon In the pulpit he became
involved In a controversy with a liaptist minis
ter who had assailed him. In this controversy
"Parson" Brownlow exhibited those qualities
which have eyej since distinguished Mm as a
yoUlklaa.
According to his own biography he began his
fiolitic"! career in Tennessee in 1H28, by espousi
ng tht aii8e of John Quincy Adams aguinst
Andrew Ot "kson. For tiro lust thirty years he
has been ti3 editor of a newspaper, first at
Jonesboro, and more recently at Knoxville, his
present home. Still retaining his ministerial
office, in 1832 he was a delegate to th General
Methodist Conteience at Philadelphia From this
period down to the war he a Ivocatcd Whig
principles, and was a sleepless aud uncompro
mising foe of the Democracy.
When the South precipitated the war, and his
State was on the verge of secession, he came
out manlully aealnt the dhunlonists. What
ever other virtues he lscked, or whatever were
his original views at- to slavery, he was certainly
a devoted Union man. In his paper ot May 25,
18C, when already a number of the Southern
States had passed the ordinance of secession, he
wrote: "Sink or swim, live or tlie, survive or
perish, I am a Union man, and owe my alle
giance to the Stars and Stripes of my country."
Driven Irom East Tennessee, he sojourned in
the North until he was enabled to return to
Knoxville in the wake of Burnside's army of
deliverance. At the election ordered in 18(i6 he
was elected Governor of his State, aud as the
leader of the newly organized Bepublican, or
more properly rnpical party, he is a candidate
for his own succession.
Sketch of Kmerson Etherldfre.
One of the organs of the conservative party
gives the following outline of the career of its
candidate tor Governor:
Mr. Ktherulge is, we believe, a native of North
Carolina, though his whole life Irom youth has
been spent in this State, und in that section
where he now resides. He first entered Dublic
life s a member of the Legislature in 1815, de
feating the candidate of the oppojing party in
the luce of an overwhelming mafority. He even
then cave evideuce of the iorce of character and
talent which has since matured him into one of
the most dexterous and powerful political dis
Dutants who has ever appeared upon the hust
ings in this country. In 1863 he was elected to
Congress, and held the position tor two terms,
during which time he achieved a national repu
tation as one of tbe most thoroughly informed
public men of the time, and as a skilful, coura
geous, and eloquent debater.
Ho was one of the few members who always
cottmanded the attention ot tlie House, and left
that great theatre an acknowledged master of
every weapon in the forensic armory argument,
invective, wit, and satire. In 1857 he was de
feated in a content with J. D. C. Atkins, an able
aud popular gentleman a result in a great
deeree attributable to the over confidence of his
friends. But two cars afterwards he defeated
the same opponent in one of the most memorable
contests ever waaed in this State, characterized,
however, with a knightly courtesy on both sides
equal to its ability and fierceness. It was during
this term of service that the political troubles
of the country culminated in the civil war.
Mr. Ktheridee's previous public career had
been oce of steadfast opposition to both of toe
mischievous sectionalisms whose collision had
produced that calamity. His conviction of duty
led him to espouse the cause of the Government,
and, with bis accustomed boldness, he t3ok that
position, and throughout the struggle main
tained It with energy aud fidelity. He was made
Clerk of the House ot Kepresentatives in 18C1,
and in Washington city gave his whoJo personal
and ofHc'al influence to the support of the war
lor the Union.

tale, "Redwood," which was republished in
England, and within a brief period translated

the best and most valued citizens of New York,
which had also a wide circulation. She was the

charm of style of which eho was the master
during her whole life.

SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE ETKNINO TELEGRAPH.
Washington, August 1.
Mr. Hcustis, the newly appointed Warden of
the Washington jail, states that whea he was
Consul in Canada, prior to the assasjlnatlon of
Mr. Lincoln, he met John n. 8urratt there so
frequently as to become familiar with his per
son, though not knowing him by tho name of
Surratt.
Further, that on the 14th of April, 1865, he
met Surratt on the steps of the National
Hotel in this city, recognized him as his
Canada acquaintance, and shook hands
with him; that on seeing him in the
court room he recognized John H. Surratt as
the person he met at the National Hotel on the
day of the assassination. As the testimony has
been closed, Mr. Hesutis cannot be placed on
the stand.
The Unadilla National Hank Failure.
Troy, N. Y., August 1. I learn upon autho
rity that the secret of the turbulence of the
people of Otsego county in reference to the
atlairs of the Unadilla Bank, arises from the
fact that the fanners and nearly all others in
that vicinity having money loaned it to the
bank, and took the notes of the officers thereof,
in order to avoid taxation. This fact is modi
fying public sympathy for these people.
Raphael Semmea' Reply to General Brie
bln'a "Greeting."
Jiimcs 8. Brisbin, U. S. A. Sir: In former
times, when a person who had tne honor of
siening U. B. A. alter his name felt aggrieved.
he addressed a private note to the party who he
supposed meant to otlend him. Such a notefrom
you would have found a ready response at my
Lands. This was a rule in the old service,
where the uniform was a guarantee that the
wearer of it was a gentleman. What changes
the birth of the '"New Nation" may have
brought about among those who now wear
shoulder-straps I am unable to sky. As you
have departed from this rule, I am constrained
to regard you as one of those new men of the
army, whose education has been defective,
though I know nothing of your antecedents,
never having heard of your name or fame until
I read the Incendiary speech delivered by you
to the blacKs ot Lexington, Ky the other (lay.
Having voluntarily placed yourself wlthontthe
pale oi gentlemen by assaulting me, personally,
through the newspapers, there is no other re
course leit me unless you should hereafter
change your mind but to reply to you through
tbe same channel. I do live, I hope, by the
grace of God, but not by the mercy or the Gov
ernment of which you speak, since I purchased
my personal safety with a consideration, which
has long since been paid to aud enjoyed by the
other contracting party, to wit: the laying down
of my arms and the disbandonment ot my
troops. There are, no doubt, plenty of such
creatures as yourself, who would be glad of
the opportunity to disgrace the Government
under which they live, by counseling it to dis
honor; but I have the satisfaction ot believing
there are other men in the United States army,
besides the canailie of the Brisbin order who
"run" the Freedmen's Bureau, affiliate with
negroes for sinister purposes, and strike every
thing gentle in the land, in compliance with
the base Instincts with which an inscrutable
Providence has created them. But I am wast
ing words on such nice fellows as yourself, and
so, if you will perm .t me, I will close our cor
respondence by telling you that, in my judg
ment, no officer of the United States army, who
entertained the sentiments of houor which
should characterize a noble profession, could
have written the coarse aud slanderous attack
upon my charaster which you have had the dis
tinction of producing lor the gratification of a
certain class of blackguards, with whom, pro

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUARTER HF.KHIONS-Judire Pelrre.
Tbe Court met this morning In te old muartor Ses
sions room, to hear ana dispose of deiortiun casi-s.
City vs. Hamtiel Parrel. T he dulendant was charged
wlih having deserted his family, and was sued by his
wile for maintenance. Mrs. Farrei tMtllled that her
bii'ihand bad dpnvried hi' r. and had not. for a great
while, done anything to aid her and his two children,
one three years old and tne other a mere ban. Hue
was compelled to go to tho Almshouse with her chil
dren about lour mouths ago. Her husband never mal
treated her otherwise than by refusing to live with or
support her. iie was a hostler iu West Philadelphia,
and made $10 prr week.
'l he defendant said to the Court that he made only
(n per week, and was compelled to stay away from
his wife a great deal, In order to attend to bis work,
but that he had always provided for his family at
well as bis limited means would permit.
Upon re-examlnatlon Mp. Farrei said that She was
persuaded by ouUtlde parties to leavo her husband
end did not think that she would bave left him had
It uot been for their Interference. Two persons, cull
ing tbtmselvea ladles, advised her to go to the Alms
house, saying she would be better provided for there.
The Judge, seeing that this whole sad alfulr was
brought about by evil-minded meddlers, advHed the
ptiriies to return home together, and endeavor to live
more peaceably In future. The caso was onntimi-d.
in otder to see bow the parlies would follow the sug
gestion ot tlie Court.
A hearing was had on a habeas corpus, brought at
the instance of (leorge Il.vman, to obtain support from
his lather. Aaron Ilyman, clothier. In South street,
above Fifth, Tbe relator testnled tbt,so far at be
knew, he was elahteeu years old. He had bemi In tho
hospital about six months, andon the 6th of July lie
went to his lather's house and asked lor support; bis
father drove him from the house, saying tliat he
would not give him a cent it he was dying.' He him
self was too weak from long slckneis to work, and
was forced to throw himself upon the (Juardlausof
the Poor.
L'ron cross-examination the boy said be left his
father's home in 183, about three mouths afierthe
death of his mother, and went to sea. In February,
1ki 4, he Joined the navy, from which he was dis
charged In June following on account ot sickness.
(Since Ihen be has at different limes been at sea, and
engaged lu d I Herein kinds of business, but had not
received anything whatever towards his support.
Two certlilcates from physicians were produced,
showing that the boy was affected with a disease of
the lungs.
Counsel or the father stated to the Court that, if It
were desired, he could produce respectable witnesses
to prove the entire statement of the boy false; to
prove also that the boy was an exceedingly bad and
troublesome character: and also that the father, a
sensible and good father, was perfectly willing to take
the boy home and provide for him.
To this the boy replied that tbe father had threat
ened his lite, and therefore he was afraid to go home.
The Judge concluded to continue the ca.-jB.lt being
evident thai a full hearing would tane up the whole
day, and thus interfere Willi regular business.
City vs. John W. Wolston. In this case the defend
ant was charged with having deserted his wife aud
child, and was sued by his wlte lor maintenance. Mrs.
Wolston testified That she wss married to defendant
cm the 1st of August, IStil, and has one child, a girl,
four years old; they were iivlha on a farm at Chesnut
Hill, belonging to his mother; when in June, 18i,
her husband suddenly became sullen, refusing
to speak to her, or to take any notion
whatever of her; be neelecled his business aud ne
glected his family; ihe table that once was so sump
tuously set, was very seldom providfd with eatable
food; on the evening of June Vi he struck her; on the
evening ot Wednesday, June 18 he beat her severely:
aud on the morning of June 14 she left him. For
three months before that he had not recognized
her as Ins wile: and in the latter part ot April, 1S6,
he divided ot the clothing and furniture, and
ordered a boy lo take what she claimed to her father's
house, in Coates street above Seventh. He then
stated that he could not support more than one; he
had another that he bad supported for several years:
afterwards this yer'on. whom she, the wile, had
beard called F.lizabeth Pcrkenplne, went to live with
him upon the farm.
Mrs. Wolston said that she had supported herself
and child recently by teaching music, but that It had
become neressarv to have aid.
Mrs. llarbach, Mrs. W. lslon's mother, testified that
or several weeks previous to the separation her
daughter bad been accustomed to take food Irom her
house In tbe city to the farm, and when she left borne
she saw marks of violence upon her person.
The young man who had worked for Mr. Wolston,
at Chesnut Hill, testified that shortly before Mrs,
Wolston left her husband she came to him for pro
tec. Ion, saying that her busband had threatened to
poison her. Also, that in April, ISS6, Mr. Wolston
loaded a wagon with furniture, that he said belonged
to his wife, and told blm to take It to her father's
house, JSo. 7-H Coates street.
It was In evidence that there were more than one
hundred acres opon this farm, and that another per
son, who had to ntock the larnj, and pay i a year
rent, cleared yearly fKHi: going to show that the de
fendant, who paid no rent whatever, should be ab e
to make more.
The hearing has not yet been concluded.
Gkeat Strike of Colliers. An extensive
strike is going on among the colliers of the
Oldham district, in England. Out of twenty
two pits, only six are working, and about nine
hundred men, besides a large number of lads,
are now idle, protesting against a reduction of
twopence per ton in their wages.
FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OFFICE OF Tlllfi Kvkninq Tklkubaph.I
Thursday, August 1, ltU7, J
Tbere wits a continuation this morning of tbe
dullness which has characterized the market for
many days. Speculation is at a dead halt, and
there Is no outside support whatever to any
movement looking either to a rise or a fall.
Tbere appears to be no confidence whatever in
any operations beyond the Governmeut and
other substantial securities, There was a mode
rate inquiry for Govemmeuts, at 107 for June
7'30s; registered 'G2s at 109; and July lH0Ts at
11)8. Tbe long loan of 1881 sold at 110, aud
registered 10-4(s at 102.
State and City loans were In demand, For
tbe 1st series of Slate 6s 101J was bid: for the
2d series 102, though not offered under 1024;
and lor the third series 102 was bid. The taxed
loans of the city were freely selling at 00, and
100 was asked for tbe untaxed.
In the Share maiket there were no change of
special moment. Pennsylvania Railroad was
still weak at 63j. Beading was selling at 53J
and interest. Small lots of Camden and Am
boy brought 126. The bids on the balance of
the list were up to the general average, viz. :
122 lor Philadelphia and Trenton, 64 for Norrls
town, 67 for Minehill, 86 for North Pennsyl
vania, 68J for Lehigh Valley, 40 lor Elmira pre
ferred, and 44i for Northern Central.
In Canal aua bank stocks there were no sales
of importance.
The best bids for Passenger Railroad stocks
were as follows: 77 for Second and Third; 62
lor Tenth and Eleventh; 2! for Spruce and Pine;
13j for Ilestonville; 30 i tor Green and Coates;
and 37 for Union.
Our quotations for Bank stocks remain un
changed. The Money Market is very easy, and ther1? is
no difficulty whatever in parties of good stand
ing obtaiulng all tho funds they desire on call
at 46 per cent. The banks are discounting
all the good short business paper that is offered.
There Is little ot a prime character on the
street
Gold opened this mofnlng at 140, and at 12
o'clock stood at 1I0J.
Tho exports of specie for the past eleven
weeks amount to $23,512,21)9. For the week
ending July 28 they amounted to $5,491,900.
These shipments have been on a larger scale
than was expected iu view of the glut of gold in
hurope; the Bank of England having held
22,641,231 of coin and bullion on the 10th In
stant, while at tbe end of June the Bank of
France held the still larger sum of 35,100,000.
It is a matter of considerable Interest and specu
lation how long this stagnation of capital will
last, and what channels of employment it will
be likely to find. Tbe opinion is entertained by
many on this side of tho Atlantlo that a portion
of tie immense amount of capital no w lyfn idle
in the United Kingdom and on the Continent will
be attracted by enterprises in tbe United States i
and there is little doubt that.if the political recoa
struction of the Southern States was an accom
plished fact, the attention of European capital
ists would, in the present state of monetary
atlairs In the Old World, be directed to our vast
undeveloped sources of wealth. Sooner or later
the political end in view will have been attained;
but meanwhile we shall have missed an oppor
tunity which may not soon occur again: tor bo
long as reconstruction is not fully consummated
the ultimate result ts open to doubt, and this
Cftski ufllcient dlntruat of the future to check
the flow of foreign copital in this directioa and
to operate unfavorably upon our national
cre-lit. ,r

The World of this morning says of the Nevr
York market: '
"The stock market opnnt-d strong, and prices were 1
advancing too rapklly for the bulla who sold last
week, and have been waiting ever since to bny at
lower prices. Accordingly tlnnH parties betook
themselves to selling again, and used all their power
and intluence to caime other to a i the same. Prices
declined, sod tbe market was unifttied by the en
gineering tactics of the bulls, who are bears for this -occasion.
Honieot the Kne operators sold oul their .
stocks to-day. realizing their proilts. and In the ex- .
pectatlon that the moral effect of snlfs by them would
bring about a tumble In Erie, of which they Intend to
avail themselves by buying. The natural strength cf
the market, however, plnce I', beyond tbe power of
any clique or set or operators to bring about any ma- ,
terlal decline in prices."
