The troubles between the Russian Government and its feudatory tribes arc apparently never to ci,d. TLo latest phase of these troubles Is the rebellion of the Kirghiz tribes on the Caspian ea. The following account of these tribes ami their rebellion, from the London Tvlegraph, will le found interesting: "These Kinchi. tribes, or more exactly the lesser horde of the Klrghi.-Kaiznks. have for ninny years roved at will in the broad plains be tween the rivers Ural and Ishim-in the summer being near the Orenburg line, and in the winter further south, in the Ust-Urt. and near the Syr Darya. They are exclusively a nomadic and pastoral people. Until the lust year their rela tions to llussla consisted in the navmeut of a vcarly tribute of one and a half roubles for each kibitfa or hut, and in an obligation to furnish at a fixed price camels for the army and other Gov ernment trains which crossed the steppes. .'Their internal government was entirely In the bands of the Sultans, or rich aristocratic portion of the tribes, the government appointing three of them as ruling Sultans, under the direction of a governor stationed at Orenburg, who for the past few years has been General BallusceK, formerly ambassador to China. Their laws were their own. The aristocracy were content with thisfarrangemeut. They adopted of the refinements of European civilization, tuilt them selves houses in the steppe in which they passed the winter, and ruled tho people in the ordinary despotic, Asiatic way, exacting a tribute four times greater than that fixed by the government. The government remembering tho complete success which had attended the conversion of the Bashkirs from a nomadic to an agricultural people, unwilling to bear any longer with the misrule of the Sultans, and urged by the Moscow Vazrtte nnd men of the liberal party, resolved to give another organization to the steppes, and prepare the wav for better things. A special commission was" therefore established to investi gate the affairs of the Kirghizes, and to prepare a new system of govcrnmcut. "This project was finished last winter, and was of a very democratic nature. The steppe of the Orenburg Kirghizes was divided into two provinces, and each province into districts, vo fosts, and auls or villages. The free movement of the Kirghizes through the steppe was thus somewhat restricted, special permissions from the chief of the district being necessary to pass from one volost to another. Justice was to be administered by judges elected by the Kirghizes themselves, though without the concurrence of the higher aristocracy, on the basis of local cus toms. The religious legislative power has never existed in the steppe, and the Kirghizes are thus free from any religious inlluence coming from the Central Asiatic Khanates. The religion is under the direction of the Grand Mufti, living at Uta; but tho Mullahs are chosen by the people, with the approval of the Government. The only control exercised over tlio religion was that no mosque could be constructed without permis sion, "The new project, which was on the whole a good plan for the civilization of an iuferior race somewhat resembling the North American In dians, was brought to Orenburg during the winter, and a Committee of Organization was appointed to introduce the reform. This com mittee included men of nil classes, some unac quainted with the steppe and its affairs, and others knowing them well; but among them were, unfortunately, several Cossacks of the Ural, between whom nnd the Kirghizes exists a virulent feud, partly ancient and inherited, and Fe partly arising irom their rocent dispute for the eft bank of the Ural river, in which the Cos sacks were victorious. jr'Tho Committee of Organization went, in the winter, to the most distant parts of the steppe, where the Kirghizes then were, ami returned with favorable reports. Suddenly, towards spring, people were startled with the news that there were commotions in tho steppe, but it was thought that they were disturbances created by a few individuals, and would pass off of them selves. Soon, however, news was received by every post, that the Kirghizes wero sending their families and herds into the Ust-Urt steppe, and were forming bands to act against the .Russians. Attacks were made on various points; that of Emba was fortunately relieved in time, but at Goryatchcf the garrison were killed. Fears were entertained for the safety of the iletzk salt works, aud at Orenburg many people regretted the destruction of the ancient wall. The post route from Orenburg to Tachkent was blockaded, the horses were stolen, and the stations de stroyed. All of the tribes were in revolt except the Turkaisky district and the Tchlklinsky tribe in the lrghizcky district, which latter was commanded by a pardoned brigand and rebel on condition of continued fidelity to tho crown. Battalions wero then sent into the steppe in various directions, but they generally advance without opposition; meanwhile the Kirghiz bands are scouring the steppe somewhere else. "Iho Cossacks, who, from their hatred to the Kirghizes, enter into active service with great readiness and delight, wish to make an expedi tion into the Ust-Urt, capture the cattle, and burn the auls; but this seems to the Government to be too barbarous. It is, however, tho only true remedy. Colonel Stempel, with two hun dred Cossacks aud two cannon, was sent out to protect the fair held on thn rlvi.r I'll. When he reached there he was surrounded by a force of twenty thousaud mounted Kirghizes. There w as no water In the camp, and ten bravo Cos sacks who tried to pass the lines nnd give In formation to the nearest n-nrrlxfin were killed: an olllcer who attempted the same thing, dis- t,. ,,' " a n-irguiz, snared tne same iaie. mally they resolved to cut their way through, and succeeded with Bmall loss in reaching Kal- inj KovsKaya, on the Ural. Of tho 20,000 Klr- guues, not loot) were armed with firearms. ine worst results of this rebellion are tho 7 enects on trade. Commerce with Central Asia Is obliged to take tho circuitous route through Seiiiinbitini.- a c., u..i, hara, of three hundred camels, arrived lately at Orsk with only ninety; aud this is the only cara van which has arrived this year. Even were tho roads kept open there are n camels to be had. as tuey are kept back by tho Kirghizes. There no iiuKnaran cotton or silk to be procured, and no market for the Kussiau manufactures. a commerce which lu 1S07 amounted to over miriy minions ot rubles Is practically at a stand tun. csoine seven millions' worth of goods are annually bought bv the Klnrhi merchants. The results for the Kirghizes them selves are no less serious. Their herds, which are their chief wealth, are shut up where there are no Rood pastures, especially for such a mass Cheating thn pr,.,i,.n A member of the South etabulary reports many outrages upon the colored peopie m jAiUKiou county, and writes as fol lows: "I believe a regular svstemaf.i.. uttmnm will bo made to defraud tho fm,imn .. t i ni ton this year of their sham nf th rn Man neglected to have written contracts, and are driven off the plantations and refuaed any - - 4nm .Villi 1 , . t , , . t remuneration mi wjt uur, m one case, a bund of fifteen men. disguised with whit and their horses covered with white sheets, went to the house of Mr. Counts, in Lexington county about nineteen miles from Columbia, seized one of the colored men, forced him out side rut a rope round his neck, and threatened to kill him. llo was taken a short distance from the house, shot at, finally receiving a terrible whipping, and was ordered to leave that locality, One of the objects of this band is to force tho colored hands from place to place, and employ them for a trifle or a meal to do tho picking of the cotton, which has now commenced, and also make their absence from their own place an ex cuse for depriving them of their share of the crops." Charleston Jttyublican. THE rniLADELIMlIA FORGERIES. Ilenrlngorthe Arrneeil Before Judge fflcCunn, From the New York Times of this morning: In the matter of Martin Leland, charged with forircry of city warrants of the city of Philadel phia, the prisoner was yesterday brought before Judge McCunn on a writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Blunt, in his return to tho writ, read the com mitment aud the following nflldavit on which it Is based: Carlisle K. Willlts, being duly sworn, deposes nnd says: Martin Leland, here present, came to the place of business of J. E. Kldgway, at No. f7 South Third street, in the city of Philadel phia, and bought a city warrant of the city of Philadelphia, Highway Department issue, drawn to tho order of Abraham Ruth, for the sum of $'23:-95. That two hours afterwards two forged warrants were sold which wero an exact copy of the warrant sold to tho said Leland, ono to Bioren te Co., nnd the other to Pearson & Thuron, who are brokers, doing business in the city of Philadelphia. Deponent is further informed and believes that the said Martin Leland uttered and published as true one of said falBe, forged, and counterfeit warrants to Pearson fe Thuron, with the intent to cheat and defraud them. Deponent further says that said Martin Leland is now a fugitive from 'justice from the city of Philadelphia on tho above-men tioned charge of forgery, and deponent, there fore, prays that said Martin Leland may be held to await a requisition from the Governor of tho State of Pennsylvania upon tho Governor of that State on the charge of forgery. Mr. Howe, counsel for the prisoner, then took the nflldavit, and rereading it to tho Court, ar gued that it was not admissible before the Court, because not regularly authenticated; that even taking the affidavit as admissible it nevertheless docs not show facts sufficient to constitute a crime. The affidavit sets forth, ho said, that on a cer tain ihvy the accused bought a city warrant of the city of Philadelphia for a certain amount, and because two hours afterwards, two forged warrants of the same amount were negotiated, it is argued that this prisoner must have forged them. Clearly these are not facts sufficient to connect him with the crime, and especially when even these facts are sworn to only on information and belief. On these grounds he therefore asked that the prisoner be discharged. Judge McCunn, in reply to some statements made by Mr. Blunt as to the requisition being nlrendy on its way from Philadelphia, said he would decide the case according to tho facts be fore him, but would reserve his dccUion until 10 o'clock this morning. GENERALITIES The Senatorial Heven. Most of the seven Republican Senators who voted against the impeachment of Andy John son have been singularly unfortunate. Hen derson, of Missouri, and Van Winkle, of West Virginia, have been superseded and lett out in the cold; Fowler, of Tennessee, will probably be superseded by Andy Johnson himself In the coming Senatorial election in that State; Fes senden, of Maine, is lying dangerously ill; and Grimes, of Iowa, an invalid in Paris, it appears has resigned. Only Trumbull, of Illinois, and Boss, of Kansas, remain intact of all the bold and independent seven. Such is tho whirligig of party politics. It whirls men in and it whirls them out, but stiu tne worm wags on. iv. x. Uerald. Two Thousand Gudgeons Per Day. The police and the Marshal having failed to get Messrs. Gumbridge fe Co., alias Tunbridge & Co , alias Noyesct Co.. with several other aliases, into the loius ot tno law, uonector caney triea his hand, and with apparent success. On Satur day Tunbridge was held by Commissioner Shields in $1000 bail to answer for carrying on business wholesale and retail without a Govern ment license. The detectives who made the arrest examined his safe and books, and his oflice in Wall street, and found conclusive proof that his annual receipts amounted to if.',tHju. His business is selling photographs of United States currencv' under pretense that they nre counterfeit, and charging avaricious country men of doubttui integrity a nign price ior tne same. Saturday's mail of his was seized and found to contain over 2000 letters with remit tances. Collector Bailev is determined to break up this system of swindling, or make those en gaged in'it pay for their privilege. iv". 1'. Sun. Speed of a It all wav Train. From the Bvffaln Commercial Advertiser, Sept. 4. The special Chicago express, which left New York yesterday at 11 A. M., made extraordinary time between Syracuse ana Rochester, as will bo seen by tho statement below. Tho locomotive was No. 103, and the train consisted of three passenger coaches and a baggage car. On leav ing Syracuse the train was 10 minutes late, owing to a hot journal, ana aid not get ott until 8-04, instead of 7-45. Jordan, 17 miles froai Syracuse, was passed in 5JI minutes; Clyde, M miles from Syracuse, was reached in 44 minutes, where a stoppage ot l-i miuutes was made to cool the journal. Leaving Clyde nt 9 o'clock. Newark, oO miles from Syracuse, was passed at 11-14, 58 miuutes running tunc; Palmyra, 58 miles from Syracuse, was reached lu b( minutes run ning time, and Rochester, 81 miles from Syra cuse, was gamed in just h miuutes on time. The engineer was James Wood, who once made the run from Rochester to Syracuse in 100 minutes 0 minutes more than the titno given above. The locomotive la of the first-class aud was built at Patcrson. N. J. A I'ollceman I.oven and Is Lost. From the Chicago font, August 80. The morning papers gave an account In their uuday editions of a love alTair between Police man J 1 en ry 1 homas and isrldjret uovit, a ser vant in a boarding house ou Wabash avenue. Thomas is, or was, a married man, and the father of three children. It is asserted that he fell in love with Bridget while patrolling his beat in her vicinity, aud after making protesta tions of love to her promised to marry her, first having represented that ho was a single man. lmuget discovered tne aomcsuu rumuuiu ui ner lover, and commenced a suit for breach of pro- mise, laying her damages at riu,u"v. u win nau been Bcrvea on mounts, uc iwius um of the Sheriff's deputy's way. But the affair has been urougni uj "u u sudden termination. Tho dead body oi i nomas was found floating in the lake basin, near tne foot of Twelfth street, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, by Policeman Mans. No fatal marks of violence were observed upon the body, a slight wound only appearing ou tho skull, which might have been caused by tho waves. When found it was drifting in towards the shore, being about 200 feet therefrom. After being taken from the water, the remains began to de compose rapidly. The body was dressed In the regular police uniform, the star being upon the breast, bearing the number, forty-two. tho revolver and club were missing, but a wateu which deceased carried was found in ono of his pockets. Thomas is a small man, about thlrty tlvA vearA nlil. Anil of Gorman descent. He re sided at No. 19 Hastings street. Two boots were found on the straud, near where the body was found. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, I860. THE ELECTION CONTESTS. To-day's Proceedings. CovnT of Common Pleas P. J. Allison and Judges Ludlow, Pelrcc, and Brewster. This morning at half-past 9 o'clock the Court was opened, and Mr. Mann being the only lawyer pre sent, at once set to work and took up ills anrument where he left otr yesterday. Presently his colleague. Judge Strong, dropped In, then Mr. Sellers for the respondents, and by 10 o'clock the attndonue wat full; but for a quarter of an hour Mr. Mann was alone, and appeared as If he was conducting a purely ex parte proceeding. The Eighth IHvMon of the Fourth Ward. According to the testimony read this morning the reason that so many alleged Illegal votes were polled here appeared to be that the votes were taken so rapidly that the Inspector had no opportunity of finding the names upon the books In order to make challenges; no vouchers were demanded, no voter was sworn, and no tax receipt was produced. Hut one challenge was made, whl h was to John Smith, and was allowed, because he had already voted twice and his third vote was not pressed. 17a names upon this list of voters were not upon the list of taxable, ami no examination whatever was iiiHde Into the matter by the election ollicers there. 1 his the respondents did not pretend to answer. It certainly was not an election, and should not be re spected by an honorable court or any honest lover of republican Institutions. In October the vote rr Fox was BOO and upwards, and a month later, ror Presidential electors, 1200; within four weeks the voting population of this party is Increased lu this division by i(Mt. The Seventh Dlvlnlon of the Fourth Ward. In this division the number of names upon the list of taxables was 2B0, to which ten were added by the ollicers, and upon the list of voters were 4M) uames, leaving lao votes under names that were not upon the assessment list. These were also principally personations. One Republican voter went to the poll to vote, and he was challenged generally and told he must produce a voucher; he did produce one, and was proceeding to the window when the out sidrs told him that would not do, as the voucher should be sworu; he turned round and saw the voucher rlstntt from the gutter with his hat off and his nose bloody, lie went, away, and returned several hours after wards without a voucher, hut this time he was told that ir he did not go away "a head would be put upon blui," and he did waik oir without having voted. Also, in this division the votes were taken so fast that no time was given for challenges. Tnere were sixty.iive votes given that were not put upon the book The Sixth Divfelon of the Fourth Ward. In this division there were 405 votes, but the list or voters contains only 35 names. The list of tax ables shows only lt names as voting, and 10 were added, making only ITS out of 405 votes. There wer 42 unassessed voters onlv, 3 of whom were produced by the respondents to account for themselves. The Republican inspector oil'ered to challenge, but he was told by the roughs outside that If he did not stop challenging he would be punched. This inti midated him, and he made no more challenges. The Judge, who kept the window book, was too busy vouching to attend to the book. There were only two naturalization papers produced. When a man had no such papers, and could say that he had voted there for ten years, his vote was received. Mike Fitzgerald, who had operated at the beventh division of t he Third ward, the Eighth of the Fourth, anil Seventh of the Fourth, was at this divi sion threatening everybody who oil'ered to chal lenge. In this division they voted dead people, minors, nnd pauper lunatics, so that to carry their purpnse they robbed the cradle, the grave, and the almshouse. They grew from October, 844, to No vember, 1013, and lu one hour took over 200 votes. The Eighth Division of the Ninth Ward. In regard this division, It was testified by a woman that on election day she saw some twenty-live or six men in an alley running off Uarclay street, and were talking over an assessment list; they were calling out "Give me in as a baker," "Give me In as a tailor," "Me as a stone-cutter," etc., but none would be laborers, for they were dressed toe nicely. Slips were accordingly torn oil' and distributed among them, and then they changed hats and went down Market street, and then witness saw these men vote and challenged them, but a stranger vouched for them; ho called on the Lieutenant of Police who was stationed there to arrest them, which he declined to do. One wit ness was the husband or the woman who discovered this plot, and was then a policeman. He being In formed or the matter, hurried off to the poll and demanded that these men should be challenged ; aud for this service his reward was a discharge from the force on the very next day. This occurred during the Inst three hours of the electiou, and left it Impos sible to say that there was really anything honest done there during the day.. The Hixth Division of the .Seventeenth Ward. In this division the Republican Return Inspector went to the poll anil said to the Democratic election officers, "1 have brought a clerk with me," and they said, "We will not have that clerk, he does not live In the division; go out and get another;" while he was out looking tor a clerk the poll was opened, and votes received In the absence or the Republican officers, in violation or the Act or Assembly; In Octo ber tne vote in mis uivisiou was ior r ox; in November It had grown to 074 ror the Seymour electors. The Seventh Dltislon of Ward. the Seventeenth This being ofsmall division, the voting was light. On the list or tuxables were 837 names marked as having voted, and on the list of voters were 438 mimes, showing that 100 persons voted who were not upon the assessment list. The election was con ducted very loosely here, aud but few challenges or demands ior vouchers were inane. The Fourth Division of the Twenty-fifth Ward. The charge agalnBt this division was that no ex amination or voters was maue ana no proor oi quali fications taken. There were fllty-oue votes of un assessed persons taken. Hut t wo oaths were ad ministered, and John Penn, who held tho Republican window-book, attempted twice to vote aud was driven away. The sixteenth DIvInIod of the Twentieth Ward. The complutnt in this division Is that the count of votes was false count, 01 too many ror the Mayer, and a surplus for tho others ou that ticket, showing, among other facts, that 61 votes In favor or MeCuen, City Commissioner, were lert out. In the Seventh and Twelfth divisions or the Fif teenth ward the same thing occurred, making a dif ference of 100 votes that should have been added to Tyndale's count. Here Mr. Mann's specification of divisions ended, and he then turned Ills attention to rue respimaeuis case. They complained, ho said, or the rejection or voters who produced certlllcates or naturalization, known as Snowden papers; but they had succeeded In bringing forward only thirty persons who were so treated. The object of tills whs to prove that the officers who did this were actuated by corrupt mo tives, and therefore the pieelucls over which they presided should be thrown out. Uut this could hardly be done, for the law di rected that the election should be awarded to those persons who received the highest number of legal votes, and not to those for whom votes were offered and refused. The ollicers had accounted, as the public know, for their conduct In an Intelligent way; and even If they had acted lu bad faith the conse quence could not be serious, for the whole number of such rejections amounted to the iusigiiilieaiit number of thirty.

Special Despatch to The livening Telegraph. Scranton, Sept. 711 A. M. Tho latest in telligence from the awful fire In tho Avondale mine works up to this hour this morning holds out but very slight hopes for tho safety of tho two hundred or more men who have been shut up in tho earth since yesterday morning. Tho escape of gas and choko damp pre cludes the possibility of any further attempt at exploration being niado. Until the steam fan which is now being set up is finished, nothing can be done to aid thoscin the mine or ascertain if any one is living. It is feared (but no one dare express it) that not a human beiug is now alive within the horrible pit. Numerous theories as to their safety or death areadvanced. It is asserted by some that the almost instant suffocation of Williams and Jones, who went down seventy feet last night, pronounces, beyond a doubt, the awful doom of thoe who are hundreds of fect below and cut off from all supplies of air. Others assert that if the doors leading to tho principal avenues nnd chambers were shut, the choke and fire damp could not reach them, and no gaseous matter would be generated when en tirely cut off from the Ore. Old and practical miners shake their heads, evidently afraid to venture a prediction of what the investigation will bring to' light. There is now no fire In the main entrance or shaft. All possible haste is being made in getting the steam fan into position. It will bo ready about 3 o'clock this afternoon, perhaps sooner. Thou sands of people are Hocking here. The scene of atlliction among tho wives and children, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers of those below Is heartrending in tho extreme. They have waited and watched all night, without sleep or shelter, praying for the deliverance of those most dear to them, and bewailing the awful calamity which threatens to desolate their house holds. Operations in neighboring mines have ceased, and a gloom pervades the whole com munity. No Kntrnnee Yet Effeeted to the Pit Every iHiiier 10 lie Snpponed Dead. Scranton, Sept. 7 U A. M.

The lamentable mining disaster Is the uulversal subject of inquiry, thought, and feeling, while the whole commu nity is thrilled to the centre with horror. The mining population, as might be expected, are more deeply and painfully touched than any other class. All work is suspended In the mines in this vicinity, and nearly the whole force of miners lu the mining districts have gone to Avon dale, to remain there until their brethren are brought out dead or alive.

Thou sands have gone from this direction alone, and the whole country Is aroused, aud Hocking to the scene of disaster. The Streets of N jcranton. In the Fourth, Filth, and feixth, or Hyde Park, wards of this rlty, the streets are thronged with nomeu, relatives, and friends of the men in tho Avondale pit, eagerly beseeching every person arriving from below for Information, and their weeping arouses the sympathy of all spectators. Mining cannot be resumed at any of the works offihe Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail road Company within a week, or at least until all the funerals of the Avondale dead are over. The fact of the long and severe strike just ended adds greatly to the destitution which will follow the calamity. The widows and orphans will number not less than six hundred.

Soon groups of men were seen rushing through the street, some armed with buckets, some trying at the machines, nnd all evidently striving to bo at the fire as soon as possible. Drifting with the current, we soon found ourselves in front of one of Mr. Smith Fancher's cottages. It was found that the house had been on fire in the lower story. Ascending the stairs, It was found that the lire was making rapid headway in tho ceil ings of tho second story. After about a half hour's persistent work with buckets and pails the fire was finally subdued. From the fact that the building had been fired In different places, that much of tho furniture was found saturated with kerosene, and from the report that a heavy insurance had lately been effected on the contents of tho building, suspi cion at once fasteucd on the inmates. On inquiry it was found that the house was occupied by a family by the name of Johnson. No one ap peared to know much nbout them, they having moved into the place a few months ago. The family consisted of two males aud three females apparently a mother and two daughters, one son and one son-in-law. On complaint of arson made by our citizens before Dyer Brewster, jus tice, the family was placed under arrest. The whole partv was brought to this city this morning by Sheriff Tuthill and locked up in the Newburg jail for further examination. Sheriff Tuthill had quite a load of passengers in his stage this morning the five Johnsons. Tho Sheriff officiated lis driver, conductor, officer, and all hands. He took the precaution to iron the two male Johnsons; the ladies gave him no trouble, and all chatted gaily together on their way up. The Sheriff asked the male Johnsons what there was In this charge against them. "Oh," replied ho, "we shall all know more about It when the examination comes off." The Sheriff made no further remarks on that head. 1' I IVAN CI AND C03IHEKCE. Office of the Kvknino Tklkoraph,) Tuendav, Sopt. 7, ISriH. ( The weekly statement of the banks shows considerable improvement. There Is a general increase, save in loans, which show a contraction to the amount of SI62,2so. Deposits have augmented (464,473 and legal-tenders .vs,402. The falling oil' in the loans In the face or Increased deposits Is duo to tho Increase of Indebtedness from other bunks to the amount of t.WJ.Uu. This latter Is an unusual feature, and for the time being It limits their ability to aid local enterprises. The clearings show an Increase of nearly f 0,000,000.

The following extracts snow the Btate of the New York money market to-day: J'Vom the y. Y. Herald, "The easier condition of the banks at the clo last week allayed the apprehensions of borrowers for the money market this week, and hence there wa a general deferment of engagements until late In the day, when under the combined demand and as an echo to the uneasiness In London and Paris there was sudden activity and the rate on call wai sharp 7 per cent., particularly on mixed collaterals. Government bonds were supplied at 6 to 7. Com mercial paper was In somewhat better request, but rates ranged as formerly quoted, viz.: Krom 9 to 12 per cent. Lenders are getting Into the habit more generally of making time loans on collaterals lor periods ranging from thirty to ninety days, at the full legal rate, the broker making his 'own terms as to the commission. "This class of transactions checks, to some extent, the negotiation of paper, aud Is now preferred by many lenders. As to the course of the money market In the ensuing few weeks much speculation Is Indulged in, but the impression Is general that it will require artificial means to ren der It active to stringency. The deniHixl from the West and .South must come sooner or later, but the expectation of it is bo largely discounted that the market will doubt tless glide to tightness almost Imperceptibly. The 'bear' cliques are reported to have get together to day to organize a pool for tho withdrawal of ffi,000,ooo or greenbacks from circulation, and thus precipitate a break In stocks, bonds, anil- gold. Those who claim to speak from a knowledge of Secretary Boutwell's policy say that while on the one hand he will endeavor to market our crops to Europe at the most remunerative prices, he will keep our local money market well supplied with currency for the promotion of our metropolitan business. "The foreign exchange market was a shade firmer at the closr, not from any better demand, but though a sudden Indisposition on the partof drawers to make more bills. Hates were nominal, the ex treme range for sterling and francs belugas follows: Sterling, sixty days, commercia', 107(107 ; good to prime bankers', bfcia ins; nnort sight, li8)$(2,i09; iraiics, long and short, 8-27c.rf 5-8j. "The effect of the foreign "news upon Government securities was witnessed in their rather sharp de cline in the home market, The '02s went otl' to 122'4 and the '07s to 120. It Is suspected that the Jewish holiday of New Year was taken advantage of In Frankfort to ilepros the market there In the interest of houses having American connections and inte rested In both gold and bonds. Certain it is that the decline in Frankfort was much greater than in Lon don, the exchange of which city is more phlegmatic nnd less susceptible to violent speculative move ments. The '6Ts in tho latter place went oil' only to 81, the decline being onlv one-half as much a9 In the German city. The yielding here was a large one, however, when It Is consi dered that the market should have been sus tained by purchases which were made on foreign account early In the. day before the 'break' abroad and when gold was at. 137 W?f.l37, the double transaction of selling the bonds In Lon don and the gold here affording a good margin of prollt.
