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.

THE riTTSBURO SENSATION.
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.

Washington, July 19 The Secretary of

American Minister at Paris stating that both
France and Prussia had concluded to observe
the treaty of 1866, which prohibits privateering
and provides that each power shall respect
nentral goods in an enemy's ships. Should this
prove correct, it will allow the North German
steamers to carry the United States malls as
usual.
The European qnadron.
Secretary Robeson has just heard from Ad
miral Radford, who commands our European
squadron, since the talk of war began. At last
accounts he was at Cherbourg. The Secretary is
ot the opinion that the French Government will
not allow despatches to come over their cable ex
cept such as are favorable to their side. This is
the probable reason why Radford has not been
heard from.
Admiral Alelaacthon Smith
has been assigned to the command of the Wash
ington Navy Yard, in place of Dahlgren, deceased.

He might personally be passive under the

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.

"GOOD ENOUGH FOR AMERICANS."'
A. T. Htewart'a 840,000 Picture
. 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 - -

"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

tbe only condition of tbe future calculated to enhaace
gold is the return of these bonds. This iuiluenae abated
or removed the conditions will be harmonious for a da- 1
