I'hemepting will ba addrersed by Kdw W. Stokes, Esq.. Lambert Tbomas,:Esq., Edmund Kandall, and General William B. Thomas. The Above ad ertlsement appearing In several of our papers, we last nlgut visited tbe locality named for the purpose of seetbg who the "uo party party" representatives were, how many "sore-hfaded" Re publicans or how many Ignorant Irish Democrats iu)d be gathered together by clap-trap and non sense to aid In the advocacy of one of our most ambi tious ex-oillee-holders and politicians. The meeting was to have conin oil' in Commissioners' Hall, south east corner of Thirty-seventh and Market streets, wnerrln about 8 o'clock gathered Just twelve per--eons, including four representatives of the press. Through some mismanagement no preparation had been made, and considerable time was wasted In ascertaining the true state of airairs. Meantime a trusty messenger was despatched to the Hull's Head Hotel, on Market street,above Thirty-seventh. and it was arranged that the meeting would be held there. Retitriilijg, the efllclent aid-de-camp reported to his superior onicer, when he waa sent back with the message that thiugs being right at the hall, the hotel would not be used, imagine the wrath of the Democratic proprietor of the iiemocratlc headquar ters in West 1'hiladelphia, who had gone to such un paralleled expense in preparing for the reception of his military aud political guest, who had adorned the whole front of a 2u foot verandah with stable lan terns, who had marshalled all the drinking Demo crats of tne ward, that they might indulge at the expense of the would-be Congressman. But to return to the principal scene. By 84 o'clock the hall was lit np, and things really did look as though there would be a meeting therein. But another hitch arose. Whether from pangs of con science or not we cannot say, bnt after much consul tation the Ueneral, who was perspiring at the rate of a gallon a minute, issued "order No. 3," and a straggling party wanded their way to the Bull's Head Hotel. Some of the aspiraut's more active friends arrived first, and, approaching the proprietor, were met with a burst of indignation. "io meeting should be held there," etc. The Ueneral, in true military style, hearing the trouble, rushed to the front, and, approaching the lndignaat Democrat, whlBpered a lew words to him. His reply was: "1 don't care a d n. I'm a Democrat, and 1 was . going to go for you ; but after I have made all my preparations you send word you'll take the halU jow, then, since you'd rather have the hall than me, why go there!" The Insult was direct, deep, and cutting, and he who had stood the brnnt of many a hard-fought Held (political) winced beneath It and was slleut. But, then, the General wants to go to Congress, aud knowing that the road thereto is not strewn with roses, he swallowed the indignity, and again gaining the ear of Boniface, made use of some magical expression which sounded very much like "cash." Mine host's face changed but a particle, and In a gruff tone he replied, "Oh 1 I don't care about the money; you can pay that afterwards." Whilst this little by-play was going on, a number of passers-by were attracted to the scene, and when It was announced that there was tj be a meet ing, several resolved to wait and see the fun. Ascending by a narrow staircase, we reached a veran dah, dusty aud warm, and as dark as Erebus. No band was In sight, uut a little colored drummer stood near waltiLg to be hired. No doubt the Uene ral would have gladly paid for a little soul-lnsplriting music after undergoing so much, but then,' he dare not offend his Democratic friends by hiring a "nig ger." At length three or four Milesians appeared upon the scene with several smoky lanterns, a ball of twine, a few nails, and a wrench, to be used as a hammer. 'J hese Boon set to work to throw some light on the subject, the general meantime giving directions. From the tone of voice In which he spoke, and the familiar usage of the names Pat, John and James, we judged that Pat, John and James were three of his regular employes. And now appears upon the boards another illustrious hero, no more, uo less, than Damon Y. Kilgore, the celebrated spiritualist. Upon first seeing blm we surmised titat perhaps Damon was going to raise the spirits of the audi tors. Then again we thought he might recall from the past some of the heroic deeds of the General ; how be nobly marched to the front, and arrived after all fighting was over, etc. Bosh 1 why did we not see It sooner? Damon Y. came that he might have a chance to spout as he only knows how. The lanterns having been hung without any for mality whatever, Damon sprang to the railing and seeing before him a crowd of about thirty persons, composed of the hangers-on at the tavern, Idlers aud children, thus he spake: "Fellow-citizens" (there were about firteen citi zens in all present) "I would not have been here to-night were it not for an editorial In tbe Evening Telkmkaph which I saw this afternoon, styling General Thomas a disorganizes Now I want him to accept the title, etc" To print his remarks in full would till our entire paper. On concluding he introduced Edward D. Stokes, who seems to be Thomas' left bower, as the illustrious Kandall Is his right. Mr. Stokes made a lengthy harangue, during which it being noticed that the crowd was beginning to tire, Pat, John and James were sent among them, aud endeavored hard to stimulate them to cheering the speaker, but the attempt waa a sickly failure. As if to add still more to the gloom of the affair, just as the speaker was casting forth sickening adu lations of bis chief, one of the lamps exploded, and thus added to the darkness. But the General had a long piece to read, and hence the meeting must go on, despite the consequences. Another lamp was lit, and the General having finished the rehearsal of his address by a candle In the entry, Stokes ceased, and General Win. li. Thomas was introduced, when Pat, John, and James again exercised their- lungs, but to no effect. The auditors were tired the children grew sleepy and hurried off to bed, and by half-pasta o'clock, when but just barely started, the General was left with a motley crew of about twelve or fourteen lis teners; the lamps grew dimmer and dimmer, but the General kept on, aud finally succeeded In finishing bis piece. Pat, John and James stood by him to the last, but alasl the affair all ended In smoke. We have been to many political meetings, but a greater failure than this we have never seen. From some cause or other the hero's right bower, Colonel Kandall, did not appear. Perhaps be was afraid to encounter his Democratic friends whom he had swindled in the convention by carrying off the books and papers, and allowing no chance for a nomination to be made, or perhaps he was employed more busily elsewhere in trying to subsidize the press. Fn.Tny Market-Houses. The offensive condition f the market sheds on Glrard avenue, Spring Gar den street and Callowhlll street on Sunday morn ings has for some time past been a subject for com plaint on the part of citizens who ate obliged to pass through them or by them. On hot Sundays espe cially the market-sheds are UBed a great deal by per sons going to or coulng from church on account of the protection they afford from the burning rays of the sun at a time of day when there Is very little shade on the sidewalk, and It is in the highest de . tree disagreeable for the eyes and noses of respecta ble citizens to be saluted by the offal that Is thrown about in all directions In and about the sheds. There was a time when the sweet and clean condition of tbe market-houses was a matter of satisfaction and pride with the people of Philadelphia, and there is no good reason why they cannot be kept in good order now. The fact that the Saturday-night mar kets are beld until 12 o'clock is no excuse for meat boues, entrails, corn-husks, potato-part ngs, and all manner of animal and vegetable refuse being al lowed to lemain all day Sunday under the burning hot sun. The sheds could be washed out and the parbuge removed after midnight without any great difficulty, If the officials who have charge of the matter would exert themselves liroperly; aud lu view of the sanitary considerations involved, we recommend the Board of llealiu to look Into the matter, and see If its Influence cannot do something towards producing an Improvement. Coksternation ON NORTH Broad Strbit. Yes terday evening a steer ran away from a herd in the Twentieth ward, and getting ou the Nicolson pave ment on North Boau street, caused considerable consternation among the drivers and pedestrians. At Jefferson street he elevated a man several feet, but fortunately Indicted but slight damage.- After a sharp cbase the animal was run Into auother herd of catlie, with which he seemed perfectly contented. Fatal Shoottno. On the 14th Instant, Fanny Vansetver, aged two years, residing at No. oT Otsego street, was shot in the neck by an Insane lad named Frank Uaiiieck, while bundling a loaded re volver. Fanny lingered until this morning, when he died. Psath fkoii SrKSTROirAn unknown German was found yesterday afternoon lying on Glrard ave nue, new Thirteenth street, suffering from sun stroke. He wan taken to t. Joseiihj Hospital, Where lie died this morning. FILTH. The t'andlilon of the Street la the Bedford Hire Hralon-Thn Baths Tbe Arties of the Health Autherltlee. The free baths how In operation In Bedford street, under the direction of the Bedford Street Mission, are doing their good work bravely. This morning only, np to nine o'clock, Ofty-five persons had been bathed. Those who make nse of the baths enjoy themselves bngely. The colored bathers use a tank which Is erected In the back room of the bath-hoiiBo, and the white a similar tank In the front room. On account of the usual condition of the persons and clothing of the bathers previous to the bath disin fectants have to be kept constantly oa hand, and a strong but not unpleasant odor of carbolic held is noticeable about the building, showing that the visitor Is free from all danger. One curious fact noticeable about the establishment Is the scarcity of soap. No matter how much the mission rosy supply, It will always be found that those rnaklDg use of It will always pocket some or the article. None can be kept or hand. The sub stance, however, cannot do the petty thieves much harm If they only nse it. The condition of Bedford street at the present time, though better thau; it has been, la not what It might be. When the reUpsiug jever was at its height, the street was cleaned, but owing to the lull of a few weeks ago In the ravages of the fever, the authorities are again careless, and it is feared that It will soon be as bad as ever. The condition of some of the houses In the vicinity is again such ai to add fuel to the fever's Bra. In some places the cleaners have pretended to perform their work, but have either done nothing or made matters worse. In the yard of a house tn Spafford street, In the very heart of the Infected region, a pile of Ulth has accumulated which it became necessary to re move. In place of carting It away, however, the dirt was shovelled out of sight Into the cellar of the house ltseir, where the stench will affect all in the neighborhood. This is the thorough method of cleansing In vogue. One house on Bedford street is In such a bad con dition that its closing has been ordered by a vote of the Board of Health. The proprietor of the house, who is a rich and Influential politician, threatens a lawsuit if the house is closed. It remains to be seen which of the parties will conquer whether the Board of Health are suillciently free from political Influence to stand by their vote. The physician Is ready to swear to the fact of the fever being in the house, and If the board refuse to uphold their action, the public will know that the health autho rities prefer to let the fever take Its course rather thnn offend a member of the ring. Tbe dirty condition of Fifth street, In the neigh borhood of Lombard, South, and Bedford streets, is positively terrible. The dtrc lays in plies upon the highways, and the gutters are clogged up, and are full of slimy witter, which Is completely covered with foul vegetation. Tne smell Is such tnat a passer-by cannot positively draw a full breath. Some imme diate action is nucessary. ANOTHER DC IT II. More About the Woodbury Accident. The unfortunate occurrence at Woodbury on Satuiday still forms a topic of conversation for many persons. The point at which the accident oc curred is one of the most dangerous on the road, the trains approaching being obscured from those tra velling on the highway, by a hill of some extent. It has been developed that when the whistle of the locomotive sounded some 800 feet away, the horse driven by Mr. Gregory waa within but 26 feet of the track, the train approaching at the rate of 20 miles an hour. The animal had become furious, and a colored man who attempted to stop him was obliged for the sake of Balety to let go his hold. Botwecn the cars and the platform was a space of about otic foot; the animal struck the first car, when the wagon, contents, and all were drawn as Into a whirlpool, and all actually crashed to pieces, except Mrs. Caldwell, who was thrown under the planks. Had the train been going at a full rate of speed an accident might have happened which for fatality of results would have outdone that at Burlington some years ago. The Coroner's jury sitting In this case have not as yet rendered any verdict, the principal trouble being their doubts as to whether or not the railroad company deserves censure. Yesterday the physicians amputated the right foot of Mrs. Caldwell, but the exhaustion proved ratal, and she died ere night. Her husband Is hourly expected from Iowa. The railroad company propose erecting a gate at this fatal crossing. PROBABLE FATAL ACCIDENT. A Fall of Forty-five Feet. At noon to-day a carpenter named Thomas Schell, employed on the new Commercial Exchange build ing, Second and Gold streets, met with an accident which will no doubt prove fatal. During the morn ing he had been engaged in working on one of the rafters or beams of the roof. Twelve o'clock arriv ing be started to come down for dinner, when, cat filing hold of a piece of scantling, It gave way and he was precipitated to the unfioored Joists be neath, a distance of forty-five feet. His fellow-workmen went to his assistance, and medical aid was at once secured, when it was found that his legs, back, and one of bis arms were broken, he sustaining In addition Internal Injuries. A stretcher being procured, he was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Schell Is a married man, about 40 years of age, and resides in the neighbor hood of Girard College.

From the Pitttburg Commercial, July 18. . The female aquatic contest at Glenwood Satur day was In every respect an immense success, and those who doubted and prophesied that the affair would be a farce were entirely mistaken, as almost every one of the upwards of five thousand specta tors were entirely satisfied with the race, which Is far more than can be said of every aquatic contest that has taken place in our city within the past few years. HOW THE RACE WAS GOTTEN CP. Several weeks ago the subject of a female aquatic contest was agitated in boating circles, and there was a great deal of talk about the reuiamable skill, In the management or a skiff, displayed by a young orphan girl named Lottie McAllce, who resided with her sister and brother-in-law, in the Sixth ward, near the river, and had been seen on pleasant moonlight evenings making extraordinary time up and down the river. Many of the Pittsburg oarsmen expressed the belief that she was capable, with practice In a scull boat, of entering the aquatic lists with no small prospects of success. Soon after the Nonpareil Club, of this city, which has among its members a number of shrewd young men, determined to get up a picnic, and offer a ladies' gold watch as a prize for the most successful oarswoman. Three girls, Immediately after, signi fied their Intention of competing for the prize. They were Miss Lottie McAllce, Miss Maggie Lew, of Brownstowu, on the south side, and Miss Mary Whalen, of Birmingham. The girls immediately commenced exercising dally In scull boats, and de veloping their muscle with the facilities offered at well-regulated boathouses. Miss Whalen not being able to procure the right kind of a boat, withdrew from the list on Saturday morning. HOW THE GIRLS LOOKED. The girls as they came down tbe river bank and entered their frail crafts looked indescribably pretty, and their quiet and modest but determined demeanor won the highest amount of praise from all the spectators. Miss McAllce, a plump girl of sixteen, looked really beautiful in her jauuty little red jacket and white dress. Her costume consisted or a tlght-lluing scarlet jacket without sleeves, a loose dress reaching to her knees, white tights, aud high boots. Miss Lew was dressed somewhat simi larly, with the exception that her dress was red, and she wore a white bodice with edging. THE 8TART. At half-past 4 the word "go" was given and had scarcely sounded over the river when Miss McAllce pulled away, shooting her boat out like an arrow, by her shrewdness and careful watching obtaining an advantage over her opponent, who was a little slow about starting. But the cool, steady manner in which Miss Lew handled her oars soon made It evi dent that she was capable of rowing a good race, and everybody was wild with excitement, aud cheer upon cheer went up from the river and the banks,, a remarkable degree of enthusiasm being displayed. The boat-racing vocabulary was exhausted by tbe friends of the respective contestants in their efforts to cheer on to victory. "Go Id, Lottie ;" "Maggie, beat the girl with the red sack;" "Pull steadier; "Go In and win;' "Beat her on the way back," etc., were yelled from hundreds of strong lungs. The girls pulled away, however, apparently deaf to the cries of the multitude. Miss McAilce pulled a stroke that for grace and power astonished all spectators, and before she had pro ceeded a hundred yards she was unquestionably a favorite. In making a start she pulled rapidly, handling her oars not UDlike Jimmy Jlamil), but aiterwards reminding one of Coulter's oarsmanship. Miss Lew pulled gracefully and rapidly, in her manner of rowing and Eersonal appearance reminding one of Walter Town. Miss McAllce, however, continued to In crease the distance bet een herself and contestant,, although In following the guide boat she was taken nearly to the Birmingham shore, and lost several boat lengths. Miss Lew experienced the same dlill culty on her side of tbe river. Many expressed the opinion that Lottie had lost her advantage In start ing, and would be beaten before the race was over, but in this they were mistaken. CP THE RIVER. There were two buoy boats and each contestant turned from left to right. Lottie rounded her buoy boat in six minutes and ten seconds from the time of starting, being seventy-five yards in advance of her opponent. Miss Lew, however, pulled away pluckily, apparently determined not . to give up the race so long as there was the remotest possibility of winning it. She rowed against fate, however, and came in at least one hundred yards behind her opponent. The time made by Miss McAllce was 18-54. It is but due to Miss Lew to say that the oarsman who accompanied her unintentionally put her to a disadvantage by rowing too near her, and all who saw the skill she displayed formed no low opinion of her abilities. On the arrival of the fair contestants a scene of tbe wildest excitement ensued ; tbe steamboats In the river set up a lively whistling, and cheer upou cheer was given by the vast multitude, while hats and handkerchiefs were waved by the enthusiastio crowd. AFTER THE RACE. Miss McAllce pulled quietly up to shore and stepped grace! ully from the scull boat, apparently proud as an empress. She threw a water proof over her head and shoulders and made her way with difficulty through the crowd of congratulating friends up the bank where a carriage was Waiting to convey her home. Miss Lew came ashore soon after, and the two left the grounds In their respective carriages amid the loudest and moat enthusiastic cheers. THE CLEVELAND SENSATION. One of the great sensations of the season, says the Cleveland Leader of yesterday, is to take place at Rocky river on Monday, the 25th Inst., and is to con sist or a foot race by two females of this city, after which there will be another race of one hundred ahd fifty yards, which will be open to all persons who choose to enter. The two females are to start from Dubber's Lake View House, around to the Cliff House and back. The prize offered Is a purse, the amount of which has not as yet been decided. One of the ladies, it is said, is a very fleet runner, and has, on more than one occasion, demonstrated tbe fact to her friends, but has never ran a public race. A'l the particulars of the race have not as yet transpired one of the ladles wishing to run barefoot, and the other Id slating that tbey both shall wear shoes. They both belong In Cleveland, aud are ol respectable standing, between thirty and forty years of age. One is married and the other is a widow. There Is considerable excitement among the friends of the women, and both sides are confident of winning. Betting is going on to a considerable extent, one of the women offering to bet 1 200 that she will win. F I It E STATIONERY, ARMS, MONOGRAMS, ILLUMINATING, XTO.

Up to this tlmo not even a skirmish has occurred between the hostile forces. Hesse Darmstadt withdrew her agent from Paris to-day. There is nothing cer- tain yet about the departure of the Emperor for the seat of war. It is not likely that he will set out for the front until everything is ready there ' for active operations.

Monde llliistre of last week, although, not A comio Journal, devoted Its double-page Illustration to that very funny picture painted by M Yvon for Mr. A. T. btewart, of New York. I suppose- Har- per's Weekly or Islit'a Weekly will reproduce, the. engraving, and therefore there Is no need of my de-' scribing the picture, a task that would sorely tax my powers; besides that, I suppose the Ameri can publlo will soon be enabled to see and laugh for themselves over the picture which all Paris has been laughing at for two months. In the said salon this enormous canvas occupied nearly a whole side of one of the largest rooms, and was always being stared at by a bewildered crowd. M. Yvon Is a painter of alle gory and of historical subjects, and In his particular line had previously enjoyed a good deal of home renown. Mr. Stewart, who knows absolutely nothing, and, for that natter, pretends to know nothing, about art, good or bad, aud who yet, most miserably and unfortunately, has under taken of late years to make a collection of pictures and statues, went to jtf. Yvon and ordeied this picture as to a man who wa reasonably certain to give him the worth of M money. A busi ness man, and a shrewd one, he thought he was en gaged In a safe business transaction. But, if he bad bought a lot of linen sheeting that proved to be cot ton he could not have been worse cheated. He has bought an enormous picture tts dimensions must be about 40 by SO leet which Is of less artistio value, and of course of far less practical value, than ranch of the floor cloth he has In his shop at home. Here, In Paris, where artists do not disgrace themselves with Impunity by such , per formances, I can assure you that Yvon has fallen Into such disrepute on account of this picture, that his pupils have all left his studio, refusing to receive Instruction from such a master. So high has this good, healthy feeling run that a few days ago paper was handed round for signatures among the students in the Beaux-Arta that on Yvon's appearance they would all rise and. leave the room. It was not done, but it showed tbe right spirit even to think of doing It. The en-' graving in Le Monde Illuxtre Is, I may say In passing, a very good report of the picture ; it nothing ex tenuates, nor sets down aught in malice. And a, pretty hodge-podge It Is, to be sure. 1 do not know if 1 von really said it, but he is reported to have , said to some one who remonstrated with him on the subject, "Oh, 'tis good enough for the Americans!" I hope that when my countrymen see the picture ' they will prove to M. Yvon how much he is mis- taken. Paris cor. X. 1". Tribune. r - - N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY. m r from the JV. Y. Btrald. ' "Tha Gold Room waa to-dav tha scene of tha greatest excitement wilnrssed in that apartment since tb memorable 24th of September, of 'Black Friday,' or last. V'ar, when the Kreat sold conspiracy oollapaed with (ha ' faU of gold from 166 to 134. "I be Gold Koomwas occupied at aa unusually early Dour tbia morning, acd tha price, after remnining com paratively steady at tbe figures made ia the hotel dealings of fcaturd.y and Sunday eveninas, opened formally at 117?.. The strength which it thus showed induced many of the short to cover, and their purchases ran it up to IM by noon. Here it transpired that the foreign bankers, who bad been buying at the same time witli tbe sbo-ts. were in receinfc of B,iviioa fpnm London that the Btock Exchange in that city was para lyied by a rumor tbut Knssia bad declared in faver of Prussia; that 'all Kurope would be in a blaze of war,' and that our five-twenties had fallen to 81)tf. Other telegrama reported that tbey bad declined to SI, and tbtt one.tima tbey stood at the nominal quotation of 8uiiUil Tbe bull inh feeling was stimulated, and tbe short interest at tha same time intimidated by the concurrent report that tha diminution of suippin facilities by the sus pension of tbe trench and German lines ef steamers had led to so sharp an advance in ocean freights that our produce and cotton were virtually ' blockadtd in onr pons. From 130 the price then suddenly advanced to 123, amid the utmost excitement. Tbe fluctuations were o rapid and tbe changes so frequent that tbe gold telegraph dial was inadequa'e to tbe task of keeping up with the price, and tbe legisttrett quotation was for a time a half to three-quartera per eent. behind the sales as made in tbe pit ot tbe room. Kegister Mersereau, in whose charge tbe instrument waa undergoing manipulation, was, moreover, compelled to abandon tbe duty of writing tha official record of the) quotations, and bis book was temporarily transferred to Hevretary Akers, whose powers of rap d ponmanahip were taxed to their utmost in preserving the written history of this most reoent memorable epoch in the latest romance-, of gold. From 123 there was a audden decline to 121, and . laUtr to II!7.. on tba denial of tbe report con cerning Russia, which was now represented aa baving determined to remain neutral. Tba tele gram to London to this effect contained the confirmatory intelligence that our bonds had recov ered at M4 and were buoyant. Aa usual in such cases, a reaction set in, which carried the price back to tWH, be tween which point and 1 JO tbe market fluctuated fever ishly until late in tbe afternoon, subsequent to 6 o'olock, when the German bankers were again discovered to ba bniing heavily. The rumor spread that tbe directors of tbe iiank of Knglnd at an extra session bad advaneed. or certainly would advance (it was not stated positively wbiob), tbe discount rate of money, and that in conse quence our bonds closed to-nigbt at b'Jk'. The brokers who bad generally left tbe room and were at their offices preparing to go home; took the alarm afresh, and ran back to the market, where the prioe at twenty-live min utes to 6 o'olock rube to 123. the large buvera bad been supplied, however, and iu the desultory dealings at t be close the price receded f- 121s.. Tbe great rise in gold -to-da basbern a surprise and a great disappointment U tbe conservative bankers cf tbe city. Primarily it waa atimulated br tbe virtual blockade of our ax porta in the present derangement, of shipping fa cilities, which baa checked tbe out low of commodities tbnt would have gone and will certainly go yet in place of gold, ss the mux available articles of export. Again, it lssusnected that tne speculators who are operating for a rise in gold aud a fall in Government bonis were tba authors aud abettors of the bogus telegram that Russia bad joined Prussia. Many of the foreign bankers, tempted by the prospect of war abroad, went short of the Government market, and huve endeavure.l to produae a pa nio in furtherance of tboir plans. It is a curious fact, however -bat in tbe Srestnt crisis our bonus have been higher in urope than in New York, aa anybod ' will ascertain by ciphering out tbe price in gold with exohaie added. It was the sudden revere 1 in tbe price and aoonmpanying ' buoyancy of our ttve-twrntite in London whi5h drove to ess speculators to tbe desoerate resource a! bidding gold up- -to figures which frightened tbe aborts and created a general scramble. Until tha actual amount of bonds . to be returned Iroiu K urope in this crisis is known, it ia impossible to attempt to fix tbe price to which fold may advance. Although the bulla enjoy a nuinph at present, a du of reckoning will undoubt edly eome. Just now the friends of our national :' credit are beleaguered by tbe forced sales of our securities in the foreign msrkut. where, in the excitement and timidity of capital everything is inrnea In'o money with out regard to intrin.iu merit. Were we in debt to Eu rope outside of the nominal indebtedness of our bonds, we should be under the necessity in this Juncture of making heav shipments of coin But tbe exhibit of tbe National Bureau of Statistics shows that for the ten-' months ot tbe fiscal year up to May I our exports in gold) valuea were only the triila ot five millions leas than our imports. In other words, tbe million of bnude which went to Kurope tbe ptat year were bought by Euro-' peans aa 'rivetitiuents. They were not shipped ia forced paymentof the balance of trade. Our exports paid for our ir ports. In estimating, therefore, the amount of, bonds like'y to be returned to us, the public should re member tbia important fact. The capitalists and peasant -of Kurope who bouebt our Five-iaentie tbe past year, wben their home finances were undisturbed, are nt likely to paH with their investments when a sate of war la certain to depreea alike English eonsols.Krenob unlas.aad Prussian funds. Let tha public, moreover, re-ooiubev that tbe only condition of tbe future calculated to enhaace gold is the return of these bonds.
