and by sending a statement of the' same, with

for half stock. It Is supposed to clear a few of

Rules and regulations for dealers are being pre

We arc unanimous In the opinion that, as the clearing

DECEMBER 31.—The gold market was steady
and rather active to-day, the extreme range hav
ing been from 1333/ to 133%, with the closing
traneactions prior to the adjournment of the
board at 2 o'clock at 133%. There was a brisk
borrowing demand from the bears, and loans
were made without interest at rates in
favor of the lender, ranging as high
as 3.61 per cent. per diem. The gross
clearings amounted to $68,076,000, the gold
balances to $1,780,689, - and the currency balances
to $2,5i6,393. The Sub-Treasury began the dis
bursement of the January interest on coupon
bonds this morning, but the receipts from this
source were without influence upon the pre
mium.
There was a moderately brisk inquiry for
money from the Stock Exchange, and loans
were generally made at seven per cent. oh mixed
collaterale; bra the old established etock hoagies
and the kading dealers in government securities
were enabled Co borrow all they required at six
per cent., and before the close of bank hours
the supply was in excess of the demand, the
market being on the whole easier than it was
yesterday. The indications arc against any dis
turbance arising from the preparations of the
national banks for their quarterly returns on the
first Monday in January, and if any pressnre is
felt from this cause it will be over by. Friday
afternoon, as the returns will ehow , the condi
tion of the banks before the commencement of
business on Saturday. In the discount line there
was no perceptible change, the amount of
first-class commercial paper offering being
limited, while for inferior gredes there was little
or no market, although the former passed freely
at 7kB per cent. The release of a large amount
of lends at present reserved for the payment of
interest and dividends will contribute to increased
monetary case early in the new year. and cause
them to seek reinvestment largely in government
securities, which, by reason soi their low price,
(leer special inducements to Investors.
The stockmarket opened in a flurry in conse
quence of the break In the stock of the Chicago
and Rock Island Railway Company last evening . ;
but it soon became firm again, a sign that stocks
are firmly held, and before the close the greater
part of yesterday's decline, except in Rock
Island, had been recovered. The street, is less
unanimonsiy.in favor of a rise than it was last
weak, but a large majority of the bro
kers and other professional specu
lators are still on the bull side. This is
mainly owing to the railways not having shared
in the commercial: depression under which the
country has been laboring for a long time past,
the gross earnings of fourteen of the principal•
llues , during the first eleven .nonths of this year
having been, on an average, $l7l per mile larger
than in the corresponding eleven months of last
year. The general conditions affecting the mar
ket favor the bulls more than the bears, but it is so
much cliqued that all ordinary calculations may
be overthrown by clique manipulations, and un
expected circumstances, like the last strategic
movement in Rock Island, may occur at any
time and turn the natural current of .atfairs. The
fact that the Senate has net yet acted upon the
anti-contraction bill passed by the [louse of
Representatives leaves sufficient room for doubt '
with regard to Its ultitnate pate
sage to cause many to defer
operations until the future policy of the gov
eminent in this important particular becomes a
matter of certainty, and this applies to all de
partments of business as well as speculation on
the Stock Exchange. The sooner, therefore, the
Senate passes the measure the better for the
people as well as the public revenue, which last,
even under the most favorable circumstances, is
likely to decline largely during the next year or
two
At the commencement of business the stock
market was weak, especially for Rock Island,
which declined to 893: 2 , or ten per cont. below the
price at which it sold on Friday last. The
mediate cause of this heavy break was an issue
of new stock by the company, ostensibly to pro
vide for the construction of the road from Dee
Moines to Omaha. Some months since Mr. Trey,
the President, and Mr. David Dows, a
director, were authorized by the board
to make provision for this extension
whenever it should be decided to make it. For
this, purpose a reservation of four millions and a
half of seven per cent. bonds was placed at their
disposal, with the privilege of issuing an equiva
lent amount of new stock instead. It was' not
discovered by the street, or, it is said, even by
the co-directors of the gentlemen'referred to
until yesterday that they had availed themselves
of their authority to issue new stock, and it
transpired to-day, at a meeting of the
directors, that forty-nine,_thousand
shares of the new stock had been sold, being
the whole of the amount authorized, although,
should it be hereafter found necessary a further
issue may bo made by the company; but of this
there is no immediate probability.. It was an
nounced at the meeting referred to that the com
pany had now six millions of cash
for so
and
the question arises, what use has it for so large a
sum? Certainly the extension of the Rock Island
line cannot require it, and if the company has no
need of it why should the forty-nine thou and
shares of stock have been sold all
at • 'once' in - order to raise the
money? The conviction Is forced upon the
public mind that the sale of the shares was a
stock jobbing operation, In which some of the
directors of the company were the principals,

The Assassination oil Col. Sanchez—
liour Mexican Armies are Organized
—7:lapelled Massacre by Indians.
•
[From the Now York Times.)
BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Saturday, Dec. 21.—We
arc in receipt of late dates from all parts of the
Republic, via San Luis and Monterey.
The assassination of Col. Piaton Sanchez ? the
Mexican Liberal, who was President of the court
martial which tried Maximilian, on the road
from Catorce to San Luis, on
the 18th of last month, was but
a token, and a significant one, of the inevitable
revolution in Mexico. His executioner was Do
mingo Perez, an ex-Sergeant of Maximilian's
body-guard, a well educated Mexican and long
notorious for personal exploits of daring bravery.
Perez at the time stepped out from his post, and
calling to Col. Sanchez, said, "Intl under the ne
cessity of avenging the death ofmyEmperor,and
you who pronounced his death sentence, and or
dered his speedy execution, must be first to fall."
He then fired at Sanehez,the ball from his Spencer
rifle passing through the Colonel's head, and
causing instant death. The Sergeant then called
upon the troops, who had all been under Impe
rial Sergeants and Corporals, telling them, "All,
who desire to do so may now retire to their
homes, while those who wish to follow me to
the Pacific Coast will take a few steps forward."
Of the 180 men, fifteen signified their intention
of going home, and left with their arms. The
remaining one hundred and sixty-five followed
Perez toward the Stateiof Jalisco. They wero
armed with Spencer's eight and Henry's
twelve-shooter rifles, and were splendidly
mounted. They opened the safe containing the
army funds,which Sanchez had in his possession,
and took therefrom its contents, $1,700 in all. At
each town they levied a contribution of bread,and
compelled the people to provide food for their
horses. Martinez 's command at Zacatecas was
ordered to follow Perez and to give no quarter.
They started 57,5 strong,and mutinied at the little
town of Ojo Callente,terelve leagues prom &cote-
MI. Perez joined Chavez's revolutionary party
on the Ist instant, at the small town of Santa
Ana, twelves leagues to the southwest of Gua
dalajara, and routed the eleventh 'regiment of
that State, which had , been sent in pursuit of
them, by order of General Ramon Corona. San
chez, Pintos, Chavez and Perez, then united
their commands, which numbered some 1,700
men. They are now in the heavy mountain
lands between the Camino Real of Topic and Co
lima. They are there in obedience to orders
, froth Lozada and Placlo de Vega,
There has been current here for several days a
rumor that the Indians from the Mexican side
bad made a night attack on the town of Laredo,
situated one hundred and eighty-five miles above
here, and had assassinated all the people of the
town, among whom was General Quiroga, of the
ex-Imperial army. Neither confirmation nor
contradiction has yet reached us. We believe
that an extraordinary express was, sent up the
river by General McKenzie yesterday to obtain
correct information.
In 3latamoras there is news of an outbreak of
Indian disturbances in Mexico, in the district em
braced by the eastern part of Durango, southern
Chihuahua, ,the western parts of Nuevo Leon
and Coahuila and northern Zacatecas.
On the 2d instant, at Arroyo Prieto, a pass in
the highway between La Yenta and Jelos on the
national road between Mexico and Gatufalajara.
a battalion of the Light Guard of the State of
Jalisco, stationed there to protect the commer
cial trains bound for the National Fair at San
Juan de las Lagos, St. John of the Lakes, muti
nied and killed their officers. They subsequently
captured some merchants and carried them off to
the mountains to obtain ransom money.
The Rest'auracion of Monterey contains the
following: "We have heard with profound horror
of a crime recently-committed in the vicinity of
the City of Pat:sedum. A short time since two
infant girls were stolen from their parents. The
most careful search was made by both parents
and authorities, but no trace could be
found of the missing children. Week before
last, some neighbors of the Barrie Puede
notisod a singular smell which came from a
unoccupied banding, and resembled that of
bodies in putrefaction. The authorities being in
formed of the occurrence, the house wassearched.
and In the privies were found the bodies of the
lost children. An examination was made, the re
sult of which proved that the children had been
violated previous to being murdered, ;and had
evidently been gagged while the horrible deed
was being committed. The criminals have not
been apprehended."
La Ito Merchantil, of San Luis 'Potosi, of
the 7th inst., under the head of "Robos en to do
la Republica," says: "In the State of Neuvo Leon,
near the leaciaula of Mederos, Senor Don Melchor
Villereal was assaulted by eight bandits who
rushed upon him from the side of the road. This
gentleman was then tied, beaten, robbed and left
nearly naked. The robbers took' the road for
Monterey, where some of the horses were seen
OH the following day. They are supposed to be
concealed in that city."
Wendell Phillips on Congress.
(From the Antielavery Standard.)
The Republican party Is evidently trying to
borrow a leaf from democratic practice. It in
tends to enter the coming canvass with two faces
glans to ride two horses, with a fair chance o
falling between the two. The late speech of Mr
Colfax, the resolution of the House affirming
tile present plan of reconstruction in all Its de
tails, with other pledges. are the radical counte
nance of this double-faced policy: the
eulogized reticence of General - Grant is
its conservative fellow. Prominent men of
the party are allowed to air , their elo
quence to any extent. Pledges, on such plat
forms, are plenty as blackberries. So they were
in the canvass of 1864. But here we stand to
day with Johnson; emphatic proofing thow much
such pledges are worth. This time the party
goes one sten further; the House n of Represents
tives adds its endorsement. In July, 4861, the
same House pledges itself not to touch slavery.
Still they bowed to events and voted the anti
slavery constitutional amendment. Pledges even
from that House aro conditional.
These pledges, it Is supposed, will gull the
credulous radicals and keep them in the ranks.
Meanwhile Grant's non -committal will satisfy
and bind the half democratic element of the
party, Weed, Fessenden and Cookliw.
But suppose the House vote not mere hypoc
risy, still the real question is, who is to be Presi
dent, Grant or the Howe of Representatives?
Is is the President whose bias decides the action
of government. The House cannot make a
firmer pledge than it gave when it enacted the
Civil Tenure bill. But Johnsen tramples , on it,
and the firm pledged House declines to resist
or impeach. This picture of 1867 will be just
as true of 1869. The successors of Stanton and
Sickles will be wiser men than to ask, what does
the House think ? They only busy themselves
to know, what does Johnson think? So of our
future. Actions are the best pledges. If the Re
publican party elects Grant he is its.pledge. Any
one who wishes to Calculate the action of the
Government must be able to state Grant's force
and orbit. The late pledge of the House must
be taken as implying, 'This we willdelf the next
President consents." Omitting this, it is an
attempt to win votes by false pretences. The
votes of Congress just now must be taken as tho
Presidential nominations of local conventions
are—"subject to the action of the next Nttional
COD ven tion. "
We urge every man, therefore, to keep his
eyes open, and not be lulled into dozy content
by the glowing periods of Colfax or the Imposing
array of House resolves, It still remains true
that his convictions who, more than any hundred
other men, is to decide our, fate, still remain a
riddle. And the American peOple love to have It
so. How often do wo see worried and Wearied
inquirers afkr truth take refuge from thought in
unreasoning, submission to Catholic dogma, hide
and rest themselves in the Pope's infalibility.
Just so to-day knaves seek to cheat the people
with Grant, and some honest Trion accept the I I
cheat as a refuge, at least from the anxiety of de:.j
ciding for themselves.
Nothing was ever more fatal to confidence in a
party, than the g present position of Stanton.
Specially to protect and keep him m office the
Civil Office Tenure act was enacted. Yet be has
been busted froth the War Otlice, and though
Congress has been in session some four weeks
no step has-been.taken to vindicate him or the
law. A Congress in earnest, as the Long Parlia
ment was, would have refused from the first mo
ment it assembled to attend to any business,evon
the President's message, until it had vindicated
its own law and reinstated Mr. Stanton. Such
a Congress, would have -refused to receive
from General Grant any document purporting to
come from the War Office. It would have
wholly ignored him as War Secretary. Instead
of that Congress receives and co-operates with
him as War Secretary,' and the press seeks to
blind the people' to the President's usurpation by
showing how many dollars Grant has saved
by We economy! To be a nation of pedlars

FROM NEW VOIIK.
NEW YOEK, Jan. 1, 1868.—The old year was
ushered out last night, and the now ushered la
this morning, in. the midst of a steady snow
storm. The usual festivities will accompany the
celebration of the day, and the usual chari
table collations will be served up at the public
Institutions.*
The , Trinity chimes, which disappointed so
many persons on Christmas morning, by their
omission, were more accommodating this mor
ning, and were duly rang according to pro
gramme. Several slow and solemn airs tolled
the requiem of the dying 18E7, and as the last
stroke of the great clock sounded, the
hoar of twelve, the blithesome be/is
rang out " What Fairy-like music." Other
lively airs followed, among which jolly
"Yankee Doodle" was recognized by the audi
tory with .applause, until at length ome
Sweet Home" warned the listening multitude teri
disperse. In spite of the fierce storm which pre
yelled at the time, probably one thousand per
sons bad collected in the vicinity of the church to
enjoy the rare treat of the chimes; a number of
carriages were drawn.up at the edge of the side
walk, whose inmates, comfortably furred and
cloaked, looked with pitying compassion ,at' the
lees fortunate crowd without.
The Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood assem
bled at their headquarters, No. 10 West Fourth
street, this morning. After the body had been
called to order Mr. James Gibbons, of Philadel
phia, the President, tendered his resignation of
that office, which was accepted. The Senate
then went into an election for Mr. Gibbous'
successor, when General John O'Neill, the
"Hero of Ridgway," was unanimously elected

leaving General O'Neill as head of the Brother
hood. No nominations for the new Senators
have yet been received from Mr. savage.

went was seized on Third avenue, and a number
of entries were found on the books, showing an

sulted in the discovery of Benjamin Derrick's
distillery in Forty-eighth street, between Tenth
and Eleventh avenues, and its seizure on Monday
afternoon by Col. Porter. The place was capa
ble of turning out about 250 gallons of whisky a
day, and the still was warm at the time of the
seizure.
