lYom (Ais'an Francinco Bulletin.
Tho following sketch of the curccrof a distin
guished swindler is truncated for the Evening
Journal from the Berlin lioersen Zeitung, Aug.
14. It will be read with special relish by (Juii
forrians, as this city and State were one of the
lbnatrcs of the exploits of Edelmann:
About the year 1S.V.I he was employed in a to
bacco store in this city, the largest 6r.o here ut
that time, and which was kept b' a man named
Frank. lie wns suspected of theft, and Detec
tives Lees nnd Ellis turned their attention to
him Ho was arrcBted, convicted, aud sentenced
to a term of imprisonment lu the county jail.
Shortly nf'er his rclcaso from this establishment
Lc proceeded on his travels.
Some time during the war between Prussia and
Austria, in the summer of l!K'ti, there appeared
at the Berliu Exchaiwe a man calling himself
Edelmann, who, apparently revelliiiir in all the
riches of au Eastern nabob, succeeded In creatMi
a profound sensation, notwithstanding the start
liufT events of history at that time Agitating the
mind of all Europe.
Edelmann had deposited larirc sums in English
nnd East India banks, as ho proposed to prove
by check-books, letters, and despatches; he wore
a hlh order, conferred by the Emperor Maxi
milian of Mexico, and boasted of a threat num
ber of the most eminent acquaintances. Merely
for his amusemeut ho bought the great baronieal
estate of Lyck, near Koniiisberi;, in East Prus
sia, and spent large sums bu ift improveineut,
but resided mostly in Berlin.
Of course it could not be difficult for such a
man to find cognizance lu the best commercial
circles. The lirst banking-houses of the metro
polis wcro open to him, aud he transacted emi
nent business ou exchaugc. His household was
furnished and carried ou with princely magnlll
cencc. At the time when the famine. In East
rruesia enlisted the sympathy of the wholo
country, Edelmann was as good as his name.
Edelmanu-synonym with "noble man." J Ue
6idcs large sums of ready money, he contributed
to a fair, held for the benefit of the sufferers, a'
costly shawl, a present to him of the Queen of
Kiam (!)
Down to the spring of 18C8 Edelmann con
tinued here to enact this splendid roU, and then
suddenly disappeared. Whence ho came,
whither ho had gone, uobody knew. It was re
ported from Konigsberg that he had sold his
estate of Lyck aud started on extensive travels.
By-and-by "the modern Croesus was forgotten,
till all at once there comes to us a piece of news
from Erankfort-ou-the-Main which may Interest
some of our commercial circles, and is likely
to cause a flutter among those who had closer
business connections with Edelmann. lie, the
oeminir mouev kimr. whoso name a wholo armv
fj of brokers and others did not utter but with the
profoundest respect, whose friendship was
courted by merchant princes and embryo Koths
childs, is nothing else but a dangerous adven
turer and swindler.
Edelmann, a short time ago, took lodgings in
a Frankfort hotel. Ho appeared there with the
same show of wealth as nt Berlin. lie boasted
of his estato in East Prussia, his enormous
capital in East India and English banks, his
decorations and aristocratic acquaintances.
Strange to say, though, our Croesus was hard up
for cash, nevertheless, and in order to raise
funds, he stooped to ask the head steward of the
hotel for successive loans up to 700 llorlns.
With that his role nt Frankfort was played out,
for a few days afterwards he was arrested and
exposed as a swindler.
Edelmann's adventurous life furnishes a most
Interesting picture of the career of a swindler.
However, It is to be regretted that his exposure
remains incomplete, thus far; for his principal
exploits appear to have taken place in Australia,
America, aud Asia. At eighteen years of ago ho
left his native place, Wilkowishken, and weut to
Australia, where he worked some years in the
miues. Here he also got married, aud at the
same time changed ids original name of Endel
mnn to Edelmann. Somewhat later, ho asserts,
in the capacity of englueer, ho built
a railroad to Ballarat. Believe this
who may of a man who, though he suc
ceeded lu deceiving the highest circles of society,
is, oddly enough, unable to write ! It Is proven,
however, that in 1808 he failed in Melbourne,
and from this time dates his career as a swindler
and adventurer. In California, In South America,
in Panama, he reappears lu the most different
characters; now as a poor Jewish peddler, then
again as the great merchant. Forged contracts,
di alts, and bills of exchange, found on his per
son after his arrest, gave an idea of the extent
of his swindling transactions at that time.
In 18(53 wo find him in the French array in
Mexico as a common soldier. Ho deserted to
the Liberals, did somewhat later important ser
Tice as a spy, and rose at last to the position of
a great array contractor. At about this time, he
asserts, he received tho order which decorated
his breast while here.
In 18S3 he went to China, and from thenco to
East India, where he remained to the end of
1805, and where he accumulated a fortune by
great cotton contracts with the Government. In
Bombay, Edelmann again failed. In ordor more
effectually to conceal his purpose, he, the even
ing bef re ho absconded, gaTe his friends a
splendid banquet, at which all the luxuries of the
Indits were displayed. While his guests were
still revelling amidst the pleasures of the table,
he disappeared with all tho ready money and
went to Europe. This last exploit undoubtedly
furnished him the largo sums which ho com
manded on his arrival at Berlin.
J lis mean, bad character is illustrated by the
wny he tried to free himself of his wile, of
whom, it seems, ho became tired. ISho being in
London, he wrote to her from Bombay, with
directions to join him there, ut the same timo
sending her money enough to pay her fare.
When he knew her to bu on the way, ho left
Bombay, hoping that the poor, helpless woman,
without melius or friends, would perish in the
Strange land. And. indeed, after her arrival
there, she fell subject to the greatest distress,
which wa6 heightened by the clrcuiustauee of
the reported death of her husband a rumor
started bv himself for obvious re.i- jns. At last
tho British consul took her case in hand and
Bent her buck to Loudon, where she Is still living
in reed v circumstances.
After" his times of magnificence at Berlin,
Edelmann visited all tho different luthiug places
on the continent where gambling llourlsiied,
arid, after ho had lost all his money, set to swin
dling and contracting debts. It appears that
la-tTly he altogether depended on his dishonest
transactions for a living, lu which ho was ma
terially assisted by a young woman of great
1 beauty and very elegant appearance and man
ners, who travelled with him and who suc
ceeded in victimizing many a young man, often
to the amo mt of very largo sums. She passed
for a niece or an adopted daughter of Edel
mann, but was, in fact, the illegitimate ollsprlng
of very obscure people at Frioclburgh on the
Elbe, lived for a time as servant girl at AUona,
from whence she went to Kastatt, in Baden,
where she kept up a love affair with a subaltern
oilieer at the garrison, and afterwards appeared
at Budeu-Buden as a member of tho deml-mondo.
Hero it wus that Edelmann became acqualuted
i, Burnmndi'd her with luxury aud elo-
cauce. and mudo her his tool and companion iu
crime, she accompanied him to Hamburg and
Wiesbaden, and afterwards Nizza and Monaco.
At the latter place he represented to tho pro
ririctor of the gambling bauk that his paletot,
To f ining thirty-live thousand llorlns In drafts
and securities, had been stolen from LluV nd
hied to induce- him to lend him twenty-five
liaoutand, in order to enable bun to foreclose the
payment of said drafts and bills in London. M.
Blanc, however, could not see the point, and
gave him one hundred francs to enable him to
reach London. Thus Edelmann left Monaco,
but not before he had swindled tho porter of thu
hotel out of eight hundred francs, besides con
tracting debts with different parties about town.
He left his "niece" at Monaco as a kind of
pledge of security, nnd at last, in order to get
rid of her, she was given some hundred francs,
w ith which she started for Frankfort to rejoin
Edelmann. A few days after her arrival there
bo was arrested and disposed f as abave.
JNKW MEXICO.
Territorial Aff'nlrn-Niiinborw. Condition, nnd
IM'hIuiik of the liidillllH.
The St. Louis Jiepublican says:
"Governor William A. Pile, of New Mexico,
has arrived In the city from Santa Fe, and gono
to AVushington, where he intends laying before
the administration his plans, and to consult
about the general interests of the territory. I he
Governor represents New Mexico as good for
mining, and the best stuck country in the world.
A considerable emigration is coming In from
Texns and Arkansas. The quartz uiinlug is
prospering, but gulch mining has almost ceased
for want of water. The Marino mines are yield
ing very finely the present season.
"A short time sinew we gave the present status
of Indian matters in General lla.en's depart
ment, extending to the borders of New Mezico.
Governor Pile gives us tho following statement
regarding Indians in his territory: Inside of
New Mexico there arc twenty thousand Indians.
Tfi the northern part of the territory are three
tribes, the L'tes, Hickory Apaches, and the
t'tahs, who are generally harmless and peace
able, nnd live by hunting aud fishing. No
trouble is expected in this quarter, unless the
Government attempts to force the L'tes (under a
treaty which was obtained by getting some of
the chiefs drunk one year ago ) upon a reserva
tion some one hundred nnd fifty miles north
west of their present location ou the Cimerone
river.
"The Navajoes, ten thousand strong, having
returned to their old country from the Boske
Bedonde, have been industrious tho past sea
son, and raised good crops of oats, wheat, and
vegetables. These Indians are now peaceable
nnd quiet, with the exception of some three or
four hundred professional thieves, who alternate
in their rovings betweeu the reservation and tho
southern Apache country on the Gila. If the
Navajoe nation is judiciously managed, the
Governor thinks no further serious trouble need
be apprehended from them.
"in the southern part of the territory of New
Mexico the Gila and Musculara Apaches have
been exceedingly troublesome all summer. Their
principal object is the stealing of herds and the
plunder of traius laden with freight. Ordinarily
they do not murder, unless it becomes necessary
iu order to get away with their plunder.
"For defense against these marauders Gover
nor Pile has authorized the organization of a
mounted posse iu each election district of the
exposed counties. These hostile Indians number
about twelve hundred, and the precincts from
which the posse is to be raised number about
sixty, which give a force adequate to put down
the outlaws.
"Tho Governor says ho Is confident that, if tho
Quaker system inaugurated at Washington does
not interfere with his plans, ho will put tho terri
tory, within the next three or four months, lu a
perfect condition of defense. Sinco the advent.
of Vincent Collyer no (Quakers have been out
there. There are about two thousand troops
guarding the different posts or scattered about
tho territory."
TENNESSEE.
Ntrenmli of the- Opposing Political Parties.
From the Xaxhville Vrcus and Time, Oct. 2.
To venture a general analysis of the vote of
August last, it would be fair perhaps to say that
of some 170.000 votes polled, 75,000 were Demo
cratic, ar,(X)U conservative ct. m(!U 01 big
antecedents, aud many of them Union men
during the Bebel'.ion), and 05,000 Republican
aud ultra radical, the Democracy, although
seemingly passive during the canvass, arc
probably the best organized party; tho conser
vatives are numerous, intelligent, aud iullueu
tial. while the Republican clement was
long since demoralized and disorganized
by its internal dissensions, personal quar
rels, aud the excesses of tho ultra faction, which,
by an unfortunate combination of circumstances,
got the lead. The ordinary tendency of politics
in the South would be au alliance between tho
Democratic aud a majority of the conservative
element. Tho latter plainly hold tho balance of
power, and can throw the victory with whatever
side they unite their strength. Confident as the
Democratic faction liny be, tho position which
they hold is by no meaus secure. All depends
upon good management, prudence, aud fair
play. Some are eontldent that on all questions
there will be a perfect nlliauco between the con
servatives and Democrats in the Legislature,
which will meet next Monday, and that the most
radical measures of tho latter party can be carried
almost without opposition.
The excesses of polities in this State for some
time past are full of instruction and admonition
to the incoming regime. In medio lutissimus
ibis. It Is the part of gamblers aud adven
turers to risk everything, but not of statesmen.
Theirs is a higher'aud nobler work, for It must
aflect the interests of all classes and conditions
in private life, as well as the strength, prosper
ity, und honor of the State. Wo express the
wishes of a great majority of the people in pruy
ing for a moderate lino of policy, free from the
excess of faction, and from all spirit of revenge
and retaliation, in the upproaching session of
the Legislature.
A SLAVKlt.
Her Capture with 'i.Ui Natives on Jlonnl.
A British snllor writes from Aden:
"We have been cruising about the coast of
Arabia for the last seventy days, in search of
slavers principally. Our boats away up and
down the coasts and bays sixty miles distant,
and ourselves chasing and boardiug tho dhows
(slavers) in eight; one hundred aud forty-four
dhows were stopped and boarded, nnd I begau
to despair of ever taking a slaver again (i. e., a
dhow laden with slaves), when ou tho Sdth of
May, at 1 P. M., our cutter went after a fellow,
w hich with a long glass I watched iuteutly; she
was only 14' in sight, and swept lu shore in the
shallows. VS'e made all preparation to preveut
their escaping, both by land and sea, and already
she khad landed fifty of her crew and slaves.
This was a fatal mistake they made; the
cutter was upon them almost instantly, turniug
one of the coves, and sho made a dash at tho
dhow without tho necessity of waiting for sup
ports to come up, aud carried her without loss.
The Arabs on shore began llriug behind racks,
but It was too late their forces were divided,
and the Snider overhead soon brought them to.
The dhow was a slaver, with 2'M slaves a tre
mendous haul. Sho had a broadside guu with
slugs to polish off our boat at night, aud her
crew wcro of tho Zoorg tribe, and bouud to
fight, with plenty of ball cartridge. Sho fell an
easy prey, uud It has considerably rejoiced all
hands after tho bard work wo have had, aud
under which wo were all rapidly getting played
out. I am now ou my road to Aden to laud our
dark friends; from there we go to Seychelles,
then to Zanzibar, tho Mozambique, and will bo
(I). V.) at Bombay about tho eud of November
next."
Ono or two Incldouts of tho recent Maine
election are worth noting. Brewer, tho uatlvo
place- of Governor Chamberlaiu, throw less than
GO Democratic votes against uearly 400 for him.
Lisbon threw 811 Republican votes and not one
Democratic. Tho little town of Max Held steadily
votes !il Republican year after year, aud no op
position, while Benedicts, Aroostuolv county, re
turns no Republican vote.
A DESPERATE FELLOW.
Attempt to Organize a Hand of Robber.
From the Kathvilt Union of tit id imitant.
Some few years ago there came to this county
from Indiana, says tho Murfreesboro Monitor, a
man by the name of John Carter, who, since
that time, has made his home in the neighbor
hood of Smyrna. Carter represented himself as
a Methodist preacher, and, so far as we know,
until recently bore a good character; at least
bis rascality never came to light. From some
cause, the suspicions of the citizens were
aroused that all was not right with Car
ter, and a close watch was kept upon his move
ments, which culmluated iu his arrest on
Friday last, on a charge of attempting to orga
nize a band of robbers. He was taken to
Smyrna on Saturday, and bis case was Investi
gated by Esquires McLaughlin, Boring, and
Dillin. Several young men of the neighborhood
boys from twelve to sixteen years oi ngc tes
tified that Carter had made proposals to them to
join his band. He stated to them that his plan
was to disguise themselves and arrest those
whom they suspected of having money and
hang them by the neck until they disgorged;
if that was not sullicient, to murder them for
their money. He also stated that ho had
been connected with such a band prior to
the war; that ho had never conunitt'Hl
murder himself, but that he had assisted in
biding the bodies of several killed by his gang.
The voung men whom he attempted to inveigle
Into his nefarious scheme aro of the highest ro
Fpectability, and their testimony was corrobora
tive. Alter hearing tlie testimony the magis
trates concluded to bind him over to the Criminal
C'ourt.flixing his bond at 5000, Carter appealed
piteoutly to the bystander for his security,
saying that his statements to the young men
were made in jest, and assuring them that he
would not attempt to escape. Failing to procure
bail, he was ordered to jail in this city.
During the progress of the trial the excite
ment In the village was very great, and fears
were entertained that our county would again
be the scene of a deed of violent lawlessness; to
the honor of Rutherford bo it said, better coun
sels prevailed, ana the law was allowed to take
its course.
MYSTERIOUS.
The Secret Vnnltn llenrnlli Constantinople.
A correspondent of the French Journal Offi
chi writes as follows: "About forty years ago,
when a large house In Constantinople had sunk
beneatli the level of the soil, au immense series
of subterranean vaults was discovered, sup
ported by magnificent marble pillars, which,
judging by their rich decorations, were the
work of Greek artists. Underneath the vaults
Is a lake of unknown extent and of considera
ble deptrt. This mysterious construction, of
which history makes ho mention, is supposed to
extend under a considerable part of the city. The
principal entrance, being the only ono accessi
ble to visitors, is situated in the court-yard of a
private palace, the proprietor of which has a
boat in which he amuses himself sailing about
w Ithln a hundred yards of the entrance. Last
month an Englishman, accompanied by a sailor,
desired to explore the lake thoroughly; having
obtained the necessary permission, ho set forth
on his adventurous jouruey, but never returned,
he and the 6aiIor having been asphyxiated be
yond the reach of help. Another Englishman
volunteered to go alono in search of them in
another boat with six torches attached to
it; for a long time the reflection of tho torches
upon the waters was visible to tho oulookcrs at
the entrance, until it was lost in the gloom and
darkness. After an absence of two hours, ho
returned from his unsuccessful search com
pletely exhausted, and nearly choked with the
foul air bo had inhaled, having in his wholo
course seen the ranges of vaults and pillars uni
formly continued. Tho Turkish authorities
have ordered the boat to be lifted, and prohibited
pnrtics from sailing on the lake, but still permit
tLe curious to inspect this singular construction
nt the entrance, which reminds tho beholder of
tLe architectural wonders of ancient Egypt."
GENERALITIES.
Tho Prince Imperial.
The Prince Imperial, of France, is utterly
unprovided for. The life of the Empress was
insured four vears ago in three different ollices
in Paris, to the amount of 00,000 or 70,0)0.
Supposing any neglect to occur in keepiug up
these insurances, which on account of tho pecu
liar position were charged at au uuusually high
rate, the Prince, even at her death, would
only possess tho barren lands bequeathed to him
last year by his father's eccentric cousin,
Princess Bacelocchi,3 called Kom el Hamct,
nnd situated in the Landes. The Emperor has
not laid aside money; be has with lavish gene
rosity spent his civil list in keeping up a more
hospitable and magnilleent court than any other
in Europe, as well as in profuse charities, but
neither for himself, his wife, ior son baa lie
laid aside any portion of the money received
from the country.
The African Slave Trade.
Tho Rev. Horace Waller writes thus to tho
Tnll Mall Gazelle: "Letters received to-day
(the yOth of September) from Zanzibar, under
date August 3, speak of the activity of the slave
trade upon the r.ast Coast of Atnca, and like
wise mention tlio 6trenuous exertions on the part
of her Majesty's cruisers in those waters to sup
press it. The Arabs have lost a thousand slaves
in the last three months, liberated from dhows
bound for Arabian ports, although this Is but
a small percentage of those actually carried
thither, aud my correspondent remarks, 'quite
enough have made the "run" to bring down the
sati.e lot next year to try their luck again."
There is a significant absence of all mention of
Dr. Livingstone's name iu these letters.'"
The Text OatliH.
A Richmond journal classifies the oaths pro
pounded to the Legislative members as A, B, C,
and , and explains them as follows:
D is the iron-clad, pure and unadulterated.
B declares the member taking it will support the
constitution of the Stale of Virginia, the Consti
tution of the United States that he recognizes
the social und political equality of all meu be
fore the law, and that he is not obnoxious to the
anti-duelling law. A declares the member will
support the Constitutions of Virginia aud the
United States: that ho is a citizen of Virginia,
and that he is not obnoxious to the null-duelling
law. C is a combination of A and B, embracing
the declaration of citizenship of Virginia and
the recognition of the political equality of all
men before the law. Members taking the iron
clad have to take either A, B, or C iu addition.
Nearly all the Walker delegates have taken C,
and a few, the secretary Informs us, A and B.
IMorrlbNey After I'UIi.
Hon. John Morrissey, member of Congress for
the Fifth district, made a summary collection, a
few days since, of James Flsk, Jr., of ijSO.oOO or
frK2,000, being the full amount of tho cash
balance of Mr. Morrissey, Involved through his
brokers by the failure and ilight of Flsk, Jr.,
from Wall street on Friday week. Tho sum
mary process used "was not of a corporeal nature,
but simply an Intimation, lu very emphatic
terms, through a mutual acquaintance, of
what would follow lu a week, or in six
wttks, or whenever he dared show himself out
side his intrenched olllco if tho money was not
forthcoming nt once, to tho uttermost penny.
Tho money came. Mr. Morrissey had nothing
directly to do with Fisk or his gold comer, but
he bad to do with a blghly-rcspectablo young
firm of brokers who were nearly ruined by Flsk
on the occasion referred to. Mr. Morrissey is
noted for his prompt and quiet way of doing
business In Wall street, and Is never milled by
losses great or small when fairly and tquarcly
incurred. But there aro some "hard cases," it
seems, be will not stnnd, nnd Flsk, Jr., Is one of
them. A. i . B orW.

VIRGINIA.
1'roaren of the Plan to Ovrrthrow the Frenent
I.eKtxIii ture.
The New York Herald this morning prints the fol
lowing as coming from Ktrliinoinl last night:
TlioiiRh t tie proposition made In tlio radical caucus
to secede from tlio General Assembly was defeated
after uildnlKlit yesterday. It still remains under con
sideration and is being discussed to-nigm. as rar as
disclosed, the plan Is that those members who could
take the test oath would organize a separate and dis
tinct body of both branches of the Legislature, elect
temporary oHlcers.and.as they would necessarily be
without a quorum, adjourn from day to day until
those who ran as candidates and received the next
highest number of votes could be sworn In. As soon
bh a quorum could lx? obtained tho two self-consM-tutei
houses would ratify the fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments, elect United States (Senators
and till all the ollices provided for by the Constitu
tion, such as Supreme. Circuit, anil County judge,
and the offices of Treasurer, first ami Hucniid
Auditor, Secretary of State, etc. In the meantime
the radicals arc to retain their seats lu tho present
Illegal body, so called, against the proceedings
of which tfiey have already entered a pro
test, to bo spread on the Journal, and
the sesslous of the seceded liodv are to
be held nt night. It is authoritatively
stated that this plot is suggested by radical leaders
In Congress, and Charles II. l'wrter, Representative
elect, is its champion here, though he Is a personal
enemy of Iten butler, who Imprisoned I1I111 at the
Hip. Ibips. when In command or the Department of
Norfolk during the war. Hon. .1. II. i'latt, another
radical Congressman fleet, Is opposed to this move
ment. He proved too strong tor Porter In the cau
cus hist, night, and defeated It, by two votes. Its
advocates, however, are persevering, and it Is fully
expeeled the plot will bo matured, and an appeal
made to Congress to recognize tlio Legislature thus
created a the legal representative body of the peo
ple of Virginia.
The Governor's message will tm read to-morrow,
and the fourteenth amendment will probably lie rati
fied. I'p to the present there has been notlilng s.lil
about the Senatorial question. Candidates will bo
determined upon in the caucus by tho Walker party
to-morrow.
SICKLES' KQTE.
The President Pronounce the Published Sy.
IOli Huaiih,
Writes the Herald' Washington correspondent:
A correspondent from Madrid recently gave to the
American public what purported to tie a correct ab
stract of Minister Sickles' note to Regent Serrano,
and in Borne parts professed to give the exact lau
giuige employed to express the views of our Govern
ment on the Cuba question. The character of the
note, as thus represented, was most extraordinary
us a diplomatic document, it represented Sickles
ns accusing the Spanish government of countenanc
ing "horrible atrocities," "cold-blooded murders aud
assassinations" and other enormities that modern
civilization could not tolerate, ll made Sickles call
Spiiin a poverty-stricken country, and at the same
time delivered a sort ol Fourth of July oration to
the venerable Serrano. The document altogether
was remarkable for "liifalutin'' very unlike
Sickles' style aud certainly highly Inappro
priate in a diplomatic paper. With a view to
ascertaining the genuineness of this alleged note,
your correspondent to-day called at the White House
mid laid the document as published before President
(irimt, who, arter running through it iu his sharp,
quick manner, remarked tlint it was evidently
bogus; that although ad the olllcial Information ou
the subject had not y-it been received, still there
wus no doubt that Minister Sickles had not cm
ployed such extraordinary language in his negotia
tions with the Spanish Uovcrnineut. The President
further stated that all the Information on this im
portant subject would lie given to the public on the
tuueting of Congress, and then the country would
have mi opportunity to judge fairly. This means, of
course, that, accompanying his message, ho will
transmit to Congress copies of nil the corrospond
ence that lias taken place during the Cuban-Sickles
negotiations.

THE NEW YORK MONEY lUAUKET.
The following extracts show the state of tlio New
York money market yesterday :
From the Herald.
'"1 he anomalous ease In the money market Is a
curious contrast to the activity aud stringency
which prevailed not more than a week ago. Not
only Is very little money leaving the city, but some
d the banks report the receipt of funds from the
West, where the arrivals of wheat have been so light
tluit debts due the Kast have to be settled by ship
ments of currency instead of produce. We have in
this situation of tulitirs another of the many legacies
of the recent gold speculation. The utter demoraliza
tion of the gold market has left the street with largo
auiouuts of gold on hand, tlio Inability to disposu of
which retains tho premium far below tho figure
from which the late movement started. The ques
tion is, will the farmers of the West sell their pro
duce ut the lower prices brought about by the fall iu
gold, or will they hold back into the wluter, as tliey
can do with some varieties, and as they have done
in a few instances in former years, with a view to
creute a rise iu prices? Whatever decision they
shall arrive at, our city Is Just now enjoying the ad
vantage of an easy condition of the money market.
The impression Is so geuerul, however, that the re
laxation is not natural but accidental, and may at
any moment give way to stringency, that few ope
rations are based upon it. This Sub-Treasury
has received and disbursed a large quantity of frac
tional currency, but the small denominations of
greenbacks are not forthcoming. Treasurer Spinner
sends word Hint the Department cannot get tliem
ready for a few weuks at least, ft is said that at tlio
meeting of the Clearing liouso Association ou Tues
day the point was made and seemed to meet the
general approval of the bunk otllcl ils present that
it Is dishonorable for a ban Mo demand, on the day
the clmek is drawn, curret.cy on the certified clieen
of anol her bauk. The custom is for all checks to ha
eonsidereil us good until the settlement of the dilt'e
rences betwen the banks are made the next dy at
the Clearing House. Tlio rule ou call to-day ranged
from six to seven per cent, at which aecouuts wero
nearly ull made up by two o'clock. Those who had
money over had dlillcultyln placing buluaees even
ut lower than these llgure. The cusl jr feeling lu
money lends to a better demand for commercial
puiier, but buyers outside of the banks, whore the
rate is nominally seven per cent., hold for a discount
ull the way from nine to ilfteen per cent, A good
Ueul of prime paper sells iu the vicinity of eleven
percent. Korean exchange was not so' active to
day, but rates were nominally at yesterdav's quota
tions. Out or second hands prime bankers' sixty
day sterling sold at lotMtf. The supply of bills was
better and the demand less. It was, however, after
tho Wednesday steamer. Tho Ooverninent market
opened with great buoyancy in the general serenity
which characterized early operations at the Stock
Kxchunge, and Ci's sold at lis. After tho Uovcra
nient purchase, where the oilerlngs were neurly teu
millions of bonds, the whole market gave way
ugulu and prices went back to neurly the lowest
made since the panic. Tho lowest price at which
the bonds were offered was 118-ftfi and the hlgliost
1 is, which are as usual, ex coupon. General butter.
Held advertises to-nlg'at thut, by direction of the
Treasurer of the I'nlb'd states, the Trensury will in
vent I ibl.BWJ -49-100, or as ueux that amount as can bo
' aljnsted, in fire-twenty bonds in addition to the .
iguiBrpurriiasflorone million annonncea ior ie- -
morrow. The amount will be added to the awards
at the opening. The additional amount Is for the
inking fund, and is representative Of the accrued
interest on the bonds- which have been already pur
chased for the sinking fund.

TlmrmUT. Oct. 7, 1W9. I
The local Money market to-day and during the
current week litis been characterized bv the ease
which usually attends the reaction following panics.
The hanks continue short of funds, laud are obliged
to employ their means with great circumspection.
There Is not a very strong current of money either
towards the West or South, but It must be suincl
cntly Btrong to balance the receipts thence, as the
bunks apparently are m iking little progress towards
strengthening their position.
The current rates for loans vary little from'thoe of
yesterday, but the market Continues very unsettled.
Cold opened strong this morning nt 131 Viand
rapidly advanced to 131 with a further advance
probable before the close of business.
Oovcrnment securities are quiet, and the new
Issues were especially linn. There is no disposition
here to speculate either in gold or bonds.
There whs less tlrmiiess In the stock market to
rtny, beta fair business was effected. State loans
were steady, with sales of the (irsf. series at. U2. City
sixes were ill better demand. Sales of new at 100'i,
with'.iTi, Mil for the old issues. Lehigh gold loan
