NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
If there if anything this community . thor
oughli4dlsapiro-ves Of, it is the invoking of the
intericrcnee;of the Legislature in purely Muni 7
cipal 'matters. For years this has been the
last resort of the advocates of measures that
have 'teen colidenincd by popular opinion
here.. At once a bill is introducedinto the
Legislatnre to oveivide the popular decision
and force a distasteful measure upon the city
by exterior power. There is not one casein'
fiftYsucb,where the bill originat6s in the Lbgis
latureitself ; it is framed here in the' city by
the lelierners, whoever they may
,be,
.and is
serif. tip,to Harrisburg, to be first forced upon
the Assembly in order that the Assembly may
beguile the means of forcing it upon the
city.
At a time when a commission appointed by
City Councils have matured and adopted a
plan, and are advertising for proposals 'for lay
ing theloundations of the new buildings upon
Independence Square,a bill suddenly appears in
the House of Representatives directing that the
question of site be referred to the next October
election. Now, none know better than those
who are bringing the matter forwai.d that, the,
Legislature has no power to direct that the citi
zens shall select a site by election. The Su-•
Preme
„Court , has ~ expressly decided. that the
Legislative cannot delegate its powers. What
it is authorized by , the Constitution to do, it
must do by its oWn action, and cannot turn'
overp, question to be decided upon at arrelection.
Codequently, such on election would amount
to nothing. The result would be binding oh
no one, neither upon the Legislature, nor City
Councils, nor the people. The expedient: s
one simply of faCtiod opposition.
Eminently characteristic was the action of
Comnion Council at its late meeting. ' A re
sokition was : offered favoring the passage of
the act in question. A proposition to make
the resolution a joint one was voted down.
The idea of one Council applying to the Legis
lature, and refusing to allow the other branch
even the opportunity of , joining or refusing to
join, is Something so preposterous that it is
surprising that such an idea should .have been
seriously- entertained. The observations-in
debate, however, were quite in keeping with
the absurdity of' .the proposition. Mr. Rice
declared . that it would take twenty years to
put up the buildings on Independence Squire,
and that the cost would be ten millions. Why
not have said, a century and fifty•millions ?
Such credulity as would accept the one state
ment might easily,rece;ve the alien Finally,
Common Council was prevented from taking
this ill-advised course by the' absence of, a
quortnit, and so adjourned., •
BLOOMERIA.
To suggest that a woman is otherwise than
handsome, or pretty is'a very serious offence;
but to hint that her dress is ugly is a mortal
sin. . .Pecearinrus! We have sinned! We
have done wickedly! We have fallen ftcim
grace! ate all the tilts we haye ridden
in defence of the medicine-studying Women:
Forgotten are the successes we have helped to
achieve in behalf of the oppressed school-mis
tresSest and shop-girls. Dimmed and tarnished
are the honors we have won in protecting the
cause of modesty and good morals against the
encroachments of, the immoral mule drama.
For have we not laughed at Mrs. 'Bloomer?
Have we not preached that false doctrine
that Woman, dear Woman, has no right,
among all her .many rights, to be or
to dress uglier than she cannot help? It cannot
be denied that we have committed unpardon
able sin. And we have done it wilfully, which
makes it so much worse. , Fleeing, terror
stricken, to the shelter of our sanctum, last
Saturday, we cried out, in our fright,-against
the invaders of our peace, the disturbers of
lror Ttige.stion. And, lo! the Florentines are
upon us. Through the columns of our
neighbor, the Press, their Goliab of Gath, '
their R. T. T.," comes out against, us with
sword and shield—weighing many shekels of
the purest brass—and with a lance, heavier
and thicker and clumsier than a weaver's
beam, and "curses us by . his gods." One
comes behind him, bearing his helmet,
but him the Press dismisses with
that too common verdict, "Unfit' for pub
lication." The champion himself, we invite,,,
into our columns. Why not? . It may not be
quite fair to that true cause of true woman
hood which we have ever delighted to honor,
to give undue publicity to such tirades, hut we
are sure that it will not hurt anybody to read
R. T. • T.," once in along while. The subject
is so well understood that he is not likely to
confuse or darken it with his words without
wisdom
We promise to do better in future. We
will school ourselves to the new order of things.
We will cast our idols of Beauty and Grace in
woman's face, form and attire to the owls and
the bats. We will exalt the Un
gainly and the Awkward. We will
worship at the. shrine of Ugliness. We
will deride the gay colors of the foolish
millions of the other sex. We will applaud
whatever is dismal, and dull and repulsive in
!hose textite fabrics which form the artificial
integunient'of woman. We will cultivate our
taste for whatever is mare or bizarre, provided
that it tends not toward prettiness. Had we
but a branch of Madame Tussand's Chamber
of Horrors in Philadelphia, we would_ devote
daily hourti to it, that we might acquire a:habi
tude for those things which now affright us.
What more can we do? We are open to con
viction. The Jericho of our past notions about
feminine taste and delicacy, and beauty and
all loveliness, shall prostrate itself before the
ram's.-horns of the apostlesses of the dress re
form.
There is one more thing that we can do.'
We lime indulged in a dream of blowning,
beady girls and sturdy chubby boys, with
whan-ire had idly fancied the fathers and
TrlOttiers or Philadelphia had 'been blest. We
have seen objects pouring tumultuously from
outpublic,schools, , trooping through our
,pub
• lie streets, Jonaping in Mir public Squares.
Later in life we havb seenthem going through
all the apparent, motions of intinly , :spOrts or
wholesome gymnastic exercises; imposing upon
us with their ruddy cheeks and 'solid muscles
and firm steps and bright eyes,until, in the vain
ignorance of Our minds, we have cried out
These be the. healthy off-spring,
of a hoidtbyparentage, and from ttleur Mall.
the land be peopled ! Alas, that this should all
have been, a delusloUand 'a snare! We know
that the mothers of these counterfeits of robust
and stalwarthoybood and girlhood "habitually
wear the ordinary costutne," and now the law i
,comes thundered from the awful Heights,
of the Florentine Sinai, that "it is impossible
for a woman to bring into the world a healthy
child if she habitually wears the ordinary cos
toine,"—in other words, if - she does not dress
as do those, elect few who so startled us from
our propriety on last SaturdaY. The ,World
has got to begin over again. From a hale
company, not much larger than that Which
came down from Ararat; must the humanTatii
ily be peopled,' nless it is to die out from mere
physical degeneration. lt is a bad look-out
for the general cause of human progress, but it
will be better to begin at once... Probably a
Herodian edict, sweeping away all children of
two years old and under, not born of " reform
dress " parents, would be the best policy,haridi
as it may seem at first sight. Every year'sde
lay will make things worse; and these healthy=
looking impostors should not be permitted to
grow up to perpetuate evils which can only. be
remedied; as we now learn to our sorrow, by
putting the future mothers of our race into
men's clothes, of the worst shapes and most
unpleasant colors and materials that can be in
vented.
Have We not made amends? • Have we not
moved up to the most perilous skirmish line of,
the " reform-dress" campaign ? Must we add
to our penance ,a visit •to Florence Heights?
Perish the sUggestion! -.There are limits to
human capability. , Let us worship the new
Goddess of Ungracefulness afar off. ' We
should tile, on sight, if we were compelled to
draw nearer to her inner tabernacle.
, FERNANDO WOOD, AS A LOYALIST.
If Mr. Fernando Wood should embrace
Christianity now, and strive to become an
honorable and decent man, we should be less
surprised than wewould have been a month
I ago. When we find a man of his character.
and With his black and traitorous record, ob
jecting to the admission of a Virginian to Con
gress because the. said Virginian once used
very profane language in declaring his hatred
of the United States Government, we are pre
pared for any metamorphosis of the New. York
politician. Mr. Wood did. attack Mr. Porter,
of Virginia, upon this ground yesterday in
Congress t nnd protested against his admission
to a seat because be, the aforesaid loyal and
devoted Wood, " did not believe that any pan
was fit to sit in the House who denounced the
Government Of the United States as a hum
bug." For ourselves, we consider Mr. Wood's
• knowledge_ of the characteristics of true
loyalty to be so small, and •lifi ac
quaintance with .any of 'the proprieties so
limited,tbat we would hardly like to accept his
opinion as final in any case. On the contrary,
we should be inclined to regard his denuncia
tion of a man like Mr.. Porter for disloyalty as
about the safest assurance that could be ob
tamed that Mr. Porter•, whatever his past sins,
was entirely worthy of the confidence of honest
and patriotic n,wn.. The majority of the mem
bers of the House acted upon thiS theory, and
admitted the Virginian to a seat at once.
When. Satan begins to rebuke a sinner it may
be taken for granted that there has been a
case of pretty effectual conversion to righteous
ness. But Mr. Wood's little theory is intrinsi:
cally a good one. We should be contented to
apply to every member elect the test proposed
by him in the case, of Mr. Porter; for in that
event, while we should lose some very good
men, we should rid the councils of the nation
of many extremely bad ones, and Hon, Fer
nando Wood would be among the number.
Whether we take Wood's political record or
his priVate history, Mr. Porter, or any other
Virginian, may safely point to his own life and
challenge comparison.
REBIOTAL OF THE CAPITAL.
The latest Oen_ for removing the National
Capital proposes to transfer it to the Leaven
worth Reservation, in Kansas. In some re
spects we prefer this site to St. Louis. If we
build in the wilderness Congress can assume
control of the new city without disturbing the
existing rights of citizens; the blighting in
fluences of the capital will not destroy the
prosperity and fair fame of a growing and
respectable town like St. Louis, and we shall
be somewhat nearer that geographical centre of
the country which, by some persons, is con,.
,sidered the proper point for the location of the
capital. But the fact is the mere geographical
centre of the continent is not the most appro
priate site, If, leaving every other consideration
out of the question, the seat of government
absolutely must occupy a central position, it
should bear that relation rather to the
population and wealth of the country than to
its acres. And if this is true, the capital is in
precisely the right place now. If a line should
be (bawl' north and south through Washing
ton, it would be found, we imagine, that the
population east of that line would equal, per
haps outnumber, the population west of it;
while the balance of wealth, of investments in
important industries, and of sources of contri
bution to the national revenue, certainly would
remain upon the eastern side. The four
greatest cities upon the continent, Boston,
New Yorit, Philadelphia and Baltimore, belong
with that division, and there are multitudes of
smaller cities which have not the pre-eminence
here that they would have in the West, only
because they are overshadowed by their greater
neighbors. This is a'view of the matter which
seems to have escaped the attention of the
more enthusiastic advocates of removal. It is
a theory that will commend itself to every sen
sible Man who can strip himself of prejudice
and take a rational view of the question. It, is
a theory too that may perhaps operate to the
'advantage of the West when that section shall
have increased its wealth and population until
the balance is in its fairer against the East.
When that time conies tite scheme for removal
I may be discussed with some propriety, but it
had better be postponed until then.

.
Of course Judge Woodward voted against
the bill for the abolition of the franking privi
- When the •vote was taken in the House
of Representatives, yesterday, one 'hundred
and seventy-four members, representing all
parties, voted in' favor or abolish:lng the system.
But fourteen persons wpfe fou id
who favored
its retention, and one of these was Judge
Woodward. As this is a measure of reform
aimed at a gross abuse; as, it 'was 'demanded
hY the people of the entire ceuntry, and as it
is manifestly in
,accordance with the require
ments of.justice and honesty, there need,have
been no uncertainty as to Judge Woodward's
action. For years be has been the consistent
opponent' of every liberal and progressive
measure, of every theory that tetrded
to improvement in the management of the
Government, of every reform that seemed
likely to benefit the people. Ills opposition to
the League Island bill, in spite of the fact that
its passage would have advanced the interests
of his own constituents, was entirely character
istic, and Ins subsequent action Nyas only more
contemptible because it was a selfish effort to
secure a privilege at the expense of the coun
try. There is one source of satisfaetion
however in his,conduet ; bets making a record
so black and repulsive that not even •forged
naturalization papers and coffee-pot trickery
will suffice to send him back for another
term.
In Select Council yesterday, Mr. Plumly in
troduced an ordinance forbidding the driving
of cattle through, the streets between Norris
street on the north and Washington street on
the south, between the hours of 8' A. M. and
BP. M. The bill was referred to a committee,
and we hope it will be reported favorably, and
passed as soon as possible. In Sarno of the
northern streets of the eity—in Thompson
street more than any other—cattle driving has
become a nuisance which calls for immediate
abatement. At all hours of the day animals
of various kinds • are driven along in
herds, sometimes at ftiriouti rates of
speed, frightening women and children
and jeoparding their . lives. It is
remarkable that •accidents from this cause
have not occurred more frequently; but an
explanation may be found, perhaps, in the fact
that People have learned to avoid as much as
possible the streets that are afflicted with this
nuisance. Property holders and residents
have a right to complain, and they will,, thank
Mr. Plumly for calling attention to the mat
ter. We should like, however, to have his bill
amended so that it may prohibit cattle-driving
within the prescribed limits at any hour. The
principal thoroughfares of a great city ought
not to be used for such a purpose even at mid
night.
The franking privilege is likely to be
abolished, in accordance With the Wise recom
mendation of. Postmaster-General Creswell,
and the' wishes of all good citizens. Short
work was made of the matter in the. House of
Representatives yesterday. After a brief de
bate the bill to abolish was passed by,a vote of
I i4,to 14. Among the fourteen negative votes,
were two Pennsylvania Democratic members,
'Messrs. Haldeman and Woodward. Fernando
Wood, of New York, also 'voted in the nega
tive. The Republican members nearly all
voted in the affirmative. The Senate 'will we
hope, . adopt the bill without delay. The
Post Office Department will then be made
self-sustaining, and, in addition, great saving
will be effected in the public printing, which
has become enormous chiefly from the fact
that the printed documents could be sent free
all overtire country.
N. Thiers, the veteran publicist of France,
made a sensation in the Legislative body,' yes
terday, by a great speech in favor qf abolish
ing the treaty of commerce with Great Britain.
The Protectionist party, which is' constantly
gaining strength in France, will gain still more
by having such an advocate as Thiers, and it
may be regarded as almost certain that the
treaty, which is to expire next spring, if due
notice is given, will be brought toan end.. The
English' manufacturing interest, and the lead
ing free trade politicians, are in great excite
ment, and the Earl of Clarendon has gone to
Paris to use his influence, and that of his gov
ernment, in behalf of its renewal. .But France
has had enough of free trade with England,
and the Protectionists are about to triumph.

THE COURTS.
THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASES
Continuation of the Argument
COVRT.—Chieftien Thompson
and Justices Read, Agnew, Sharswood and
This morning the argument in. the contested
election cases was resumed. When the Conn
adjourned yesterday Mr: Kawle, for the con
testants, had not concluded 'his address, He
resumed tbis morninf 'concluding his review
of the assignments error. \Vlth regard to
the complaint that the affidavits wore made
in the form true to the best of knowledge
and heliefiinstead of true,;" as - rerruired by the
act of Assembly,he asked the Conn to look
at the subject-matter of these contests. In
contesting the Governor's election the oath is
required to be to the best of knowledge and
belief, and SO on through all the other contests:
and will the Court consider that the stet of
185-I, in using the phrase "true," was de
signed to set up a new rule? Literal com
pliance with the statute is not . neces
sary, and even the cage of Thompson vs:
White, quoted oh the other side, so decided; ,
for dustitae 7 ilghman in that case ruled that
the Word "verily" would be good in the affi
davit, although it was not used in the Statute,
Examples were drawn from practice in law .
and equity cases in support of this prima
hition. Comingt to the jast error—that
the " return" only should be the' sub
ject of inquiry by the Court—Mr. Rawls
quoted from the statuets requiring the Court
to proceed "according to the laws of the
Comnionwealth,7 and the several acts relating
to elections prove that all the facts are to he
inquired into, the use of the word "return"
including the election which has preceded
the return.
Henry M. Phillips, , for the respondents in
the court below and the appellants hero fol
lowed. The jurisdiction of the lOwer Court
in this case is an inferior jurisdiction and
nothing can be presumed, but must be gath
ered by the direct, acts , of the Legia-
Jaime. Under the acts the testimony
taken by the Examiners is made part
of the record, and this comes before
the Supreme Court, and is properly part of
the record to be passed upon by this Court.
The Court is to inquire whether the Court be
low has acted:according to law, technically;.
and further, whether the proceedings were
upon. the " merits." - The jurisdiction of the
Court below is derived from two acts in lt9
and one in 18:4, the latter using words
so different from the, other that the
Court cannot be misunderstood, and are to he
construed according to the known and re
ceived rules of construction. Mr. Phillips at
some length discussed the question of the
right to exclude an entire poll, holding that
there was no such 'right, inasmuch. as
it is ' possible to ascertain the true
votes •by calling the legal voters.
Leaving this, he came to Mr. i Shoppard's case,
on the lineation of amendment. This was a
blunder. by- the Court,-the amendinent -having
been made after testimony and argument, and
he urged that under the act of Assembly no
amendment to the petition could be made
without ten days' notice to the other side, the
amendment being a substantive cause of
action.
Mr. Phillips discussed the right of the Quer
. ter Sessions to appoint an examiner in Mr.
Sheppard's case, contending that there was no
power to do so,and the testimony take n goes for
nought. In the Prothonotary case, the act re
quilted the Court to "hear and determine at
the next term," and as this case was decided
at the fourth term, it was improperly decided.
In regard to the municipal 'dicers, the
oath required is to be "true" and not as was
done hero," true to the best of knowledge and
belief." Mr. Phillips contended that this re
quirement of the law was compensated for by
the fact that twenty days are given in which
to ascertain the truth ot the facts alleged.
William 3 _Mann, for the contestants, fol
lowed and took up the allegation of error be
cause the Court below refused to strike out
the petition, and asked the Court to "consider
-what these specitic.ationS really meant. s Take
the Seventh precinct of the Third Ward as a
specimen. Here it was alleged that the elec
tion-'officers took the vote of 128 persons
whose names were not on the list of
voters furnished by the City Cona
missioners, and thit none of the
requirements of law were regarded in ascer
taining the qualifications of these people ; it is
also alleged that they received 153 votes of
persons who voted in the names of others. If'
these facts were true, it changed the result in
the case of the; Receiver of Taxes; and yet
the Court below was asked to strike off that
which, if true, would change the result.
There were other allegations, and the Court
had to look at the petition as a whole. As to
the right of the Court to strike out a precinct,
he concluded that this question did not come
before this Court upon the record. The record
merely shows that a petition was filed ; that
an examiner was appointed; that testimony
was taken ; that there was an argument, after
which the Court decreed that A B and
C were elected. This. is all that
the record shows, and while the
Court may know it to be a fact that polls wore
excluded, with the record before it, the
Court has no right to consideritlin teaching a
decision upon this appeal. Comment has been
made as to the right of a voter, and the wrong
done in depriving him of his vote.
But he may, lose that vote from
a variety of causes, and no more
• hardship is ituposed in the one case than the
other. Ile referred to the gross frauds in the.
divisions attacked, and especially in the Eighth
division of the Fourth Ward, and the Seventh
division of the Third Ward. In these divi
'ose " the innocent voters" feel so much ag-
grieved by The - adieu' of their election cob.'
eers that they invariably re-elect thorn to re
' Peatthe frauds. one Instance" where two
, of:beers were sent to prison for fraud,-the peo-
Pie ofthe precinct elected theft again, while
yet in prison, to et:induct the isneetedingelec
.tion. It is impossible for•tbe courts to decide'
what is 'good antl;Wriat' . is 'bad in theAiti .Pre
cincts, and the , only remedy is to exclude the
, entire precinct. ' '

NENNATION IN:*MODE INLAND.
Mail Lire invaded-6 Another Sheath*
Affair.'
From the Providence Herald, Jan. 27.]
Last evening, about six o'clock, that por
tion of our city in the vicinity , of Broad and
Byron Streets, was thrown into the wildest
excitement by the report that a shooting
affair had occurred in the street between two
women, and that the affair had culminated
in the wounding of one and the arrest of the
other.
The real circumstances Of the ease seem to'
be these : A Mrs. 'Mercier, who resides at
No. •:31.1; Broad street, Was returning from mar
about a quarter before six oelock, and
when entering the gate at her residence was
intercepted by a woman dressed in black,
who, without speaking, suddenly drew a re
volver from her muff and fired. At' the saute
moment Mrs. Mercier threw up her hand;
and the bullet passed through one of her
Angers. The: assailantthen 'made another at
tempt to tire, but was Seized by Mrs. Mer
cier, who struggled desperately with her, being
dragged from the yard into the street. Mrs.
3lercier's son appearing on the scene at this
juncture,he seizedthe NV 0 tlid-be murderess and
forced her to give up the weapon. Mrs. Mer
cier, who was in a state of intense excitement,
fainted, and in the confusion the ;woman.
walked down Broad street: A few minutes
later she was arrested by officers Stone and
Baird and conducted to the Central Police
Station. where she still remains..
_ .
, Her name is Mrs. Sutcliffe, formerly of this
city, but now residing in Manchester, N. H:,
where her husband is engaged in one of the
4(1)2i - intents - the calico works. And now
for the cause. Mrs. Sutcliffe alleges that Mrs.
Mercier - has endeavored to alienate the affee
titan, of her t!drs. Sutcliffe's) husband from
their proper domain and appropriate them to
herself;' that she' had by those attempts
disturbed the peace of her family, and
that her husband had been guilty of using
violence toward her at various times. caused
indirectly by the influence of Mrs. Mercier.
On one occasion her husband horsewhipped
her in the open street for expostulating with
him about his conduct. Things went so far at
last that she commenced a suit against Mrs.
Mercier on the ground of endeavoring to se
duce her husband from his prover allegiance,
and, on the other hand, Mrs. Mercier entered
a cross suit for defamation of character, Thus
the matter stood a year ago, at winch time the
Sutelitle.s left, .Providence and went to Man
chester. Mrs. Sutcliffe claims that her hus
band has received letters from Mrs. Mercier
within the past few months, urging him to
Move to .Providence and leave his wife
behind. A few days since Mrs. Sutcliffe' came
to Providence to be present at a trial of one of
the cases referred to, anti; havin ,, worked her
self up to a pitch of frenzy, ma lip her mind
:w
to kill Tier enemy. She eer tog* deliber-.
wely purchased the pistol, had Itbaded, and
last evening determined to put an end to all
nneertainties. Whatfollowed we have nar
rated above.
When she arrived at the Station after her ar
rest, she declared that she was sorry she had
succeeded no better, or, in her own Words, she
" wished it might have been worse." From
her talk and appearance one might suppose
that she WaS suffering from temporary insan
ity, which ie probably the case. She was fur
nished with an excellent room and every ac
commodation for her individual comfort last
night, and it is more than probable that she
will be discharged tins morning.
The New York Moue, Market.
From the Herald of to-d&T.)
Titrasnay. Jan. 27.—The effort to maintain the a pecu
lat ive interest in the gold market was lees successful to•
day under the generally cairn aspect of the political ho
rizon, the improvement iu the tire-twenties in London.
and despite Senator Morton's amendment proposing
sixty-tive millions additional currency. Those who are
interested iu the clique movement baring put the price
to MN were content to realize at the advisuce. and then
left the market to tall back,wla 101 l it seemed quite willing
tct de when dep_rised of their stipport.. The result WAS
• decline to 121%, at which large bids were pending at
the close.
Up to Clearing House time the holders of gold paid 6a
per cent. to have their balances carried. - la the after
noon an exceptional transaction was recorded at 4 per
cent. for carrying. The operations of the Geld Exchange
Bank were es follows :
Gold cleared e 43,199,000
Geld balances .1,110.799
Currency balance's . 2,5et,03U
The governmeat market again closely sympathized
with gold, maintaining great buoyancy throughout the'
earlier Devotions of the board ,the 67a touching 115. When
later in the day the price of gold declined to 'Rif:, the
market yielded about a quarter per cent. on the more
speculative issues.
At the government purchase ofone million of bonds to
day the offerings were over four millions,
Ihe tendency of the money market to extreme ease
was again strongly marked to-day in the excess of the
supply over the demand. The highest rate among the
sin: k houses was six per cent., while the great bulk of
busine•e on stoiktewas at five. The government dealers
were abundantly supplied at four to five per cent. , The
banks are so overwhelmed •with deposits of national
bank notes that they offer loans in them free of interest
fur five, seven and even ten days, wnere the borrower
agrees to give hie certified check or the equivalent in
greenbacks at the return of the lean.
With the decline hi the rate on call there has been a
eteady absorption of the better grades of mercantile
paper, and the demand, therefore, is now in excees of
the supply : Prime double name acceptances St sixty
stay* to four months are current at 7 to 9 per cent., and
find ready buyers at 7to 3 per cent. The etand-still lu
general trade does not induce the writing of much new
paper, and hence the double disparity at present be
ta ten the demand and supply. Single
names are ' not so easily quotable, but are
discounting at from 9 to 16 per cent.
The country banks have been large buyers, while the
note brokers have encountered » great deal
-of compe
tition is the city it anks,where customers are very readily
accommodated since the overnice of national bank notes
has enlar,ged their deposits. The fact seem, to indicate
that our banking institutions are more free of distrust
concerning the standing of our business men than
might have been expected after the reverses of the fall
and winter.
Foreign exchange was lower, the leading bankers
making a decided concession ou tie pricos of the recent
advance in fates. •

FBIDA.Y. Jan. 2ri; . lB7o.—The dullness of general trade
centinnes,tut there is a slight reaction in some depart
ments which may develop into activity and bfing about
a change in the main features of the money market. At
the present time, and for many weeks past, the bnaineas
&mend for money has been of a very limited character
All the indieotions are that the glut of .tiatiOnal bank
circulation has reached its climax, and with a fair de
gree of activity in call loans and discounts . the supply
and demand would be brought into harmony in a few
