Tragedy at tbe Chestnut.
■ ll Othello” Is an excellent tragedy by which to test
the talent of the stock company supporting-the con
ventional star. Whether the assumes the
impersonation of Othello or logo, he ought to find a
sufficient counterpoise in -the leading man who
stands first in his support. The contrast between
Othello and 4jyo is most picturesque and startling.
Mountains whose, tops are capped with sun-tinted
snow, and whose bases are cleft with tropic fiower
_fllled ravlncs,neve'r afford contrasts more splendid
'and opposed. An actor of good' sense, whatever
be his genius, will never demur as to. which
character he shall assume, because of the ques.
tioned prominence of either. In these days of
the degenerate drama the public has ceased to ex
pect a performance in which all .Die delineators
shall be’ symmetric In the proportions they bear to
'one another.- Eat those who attempt to star lt'wlth
Shakspeare generally have some ability. They are
at least familiar with the traditional points. Per
haps they have some hereditary talent as well as a
decided natural tact for- the stage, and It,is likely
that, amid all the chaff of meretricious applause
obtained through the favoritism of a biassed publlo
and press, some few grains of the wheat of criticism
may have bosh vouchsafed them for nutrition. At
all’events, the plays of Shakspeare possess a natu
ral ttfcrmony which no injudicious casting of cha
racters or remediless woakness of conception can
wholly destroy. ,
Wq have selected the play of •< Othello ” to dwell
upon, both because it is so fair a teat of’ the capabill
ty of a'stook company, and because it is one of'the
freshest in the recollection Jor the pubiio. It was
produced at the Chestnut-street Theatre on Satur
day evening to an audience which, considering .the
remarkably small number of legs present, produced
no Inconsiderable amount of pedal applause. Mr.
• Juilusßrutus Booth was the logo,'Mr. Frank Mor
daunt ’Othello, Mr. Lewis Baker Cassio, Mr. J. T.
Ward Rotterigot-Mr. W. S. Higgins Brabanlio, Miss
Annie Ward Desiemtma, and a Mrs.Eaker, we be
lieve, (and not Miss BelleVauglm, as stated in the
bills, j Emilio. To these, as the prlnclpal charactors
of the cast, we shall conflnCour remarks. ,
It has always been ourconvlotlonthat no aotor
should enjoy a monopoly of praise or blame, be-,
oaufehe la so fortunate or unfortunate as ,to be a
star.: If Ms talents are preeminent, or.if they are
.only ethinent, be will naturally elicit a larger share
of attention. But it la unjust to the dramatic ap
petite of the public; It is detrimental to the ulti
mate interests of the dramatic profession, for the
critic to permit the whole action of the play to rest
on him, by imputation,' by confining orttiolsm'to
him alone. The stock and the star actor should
fare alike, according to the measure of their merit,
and judgment should be meted out to both without
fear or favor. In the case of Shakspeare, par
"tioularly, the old Mosaio law of an eye for an
eye, a tooth for a- tooth,, must bo reinstated. If
they lay violent hands upon Shakspeare, violent*
‘ hands must be laid upon them. Were the eye and
the tootk law rigorously observed, however, It Is to
be feared many a stock aotor wouldbe left in a most *
deplorable condition, a living illustration ol_the
line,“Sans teeth,sans eyes,sans taste,Bans eve
rything.” In playing Shakspeare they ought at
least to make their attempts with modesty, and*
venerate thej reputation of the bard. Although
many praise him In a blind way, merely because to
do so has become an evidence of civilisation,still,*
In almost every stock company are to be found those
ready to assume any character with the utmost non
chalance. They forget, when with rash hands they
mutilate Mm, that although they may shatter the >
’ vase of his poetry, the scent of their roses will hang,
round it still. , • . *
It is not onr Intention minutely to crltioise the*
acting of Mr. J. B. Booth In logo. Being neither
very had nor'very good, hls delineation Is not worth.
It. When an actor shall arise who shall give a now
reading of the part, worthy to he a oompanloh.pio
tnre to the one or two retained fn admiring memory,
it will he time enough for that. The rendithm of
Mr. Booth is fair and gentlenaanly. It is far batter,
than that of any stock aotor in this city, and doubt
less superior to that of many a leading main who
has entthe traces of respectable stock acting and ■
'is starring it dlsrepntablyin the provincial harness.
It was a conceit of Coleridge that Kean was not a.
sufficiently thoroughbred gentleman to play Othello-.
Accepting the world’s definition of a. gentleman, It.
seems to ns that the character of logo is the one to*
whoseportrayal gontlemanlineas is most essential.
He has the blaadness, the suavity, the soft words,
the smooth accents, the glib manner of the man of
society. It Is precisely these requisites which Mr-
Boothpossess.es. It is worse than useiess to inform
an aotor who attempts a part that has bean lnfintto
in voTumoana evprßSSlSß,ahTtlfst-
J. K. CAX.DWBII,
bis physique Is not of an order to support with effect
-so laborious a rdle. Mr. Booth, cannot be accused
of not understanding Hie part. The intellectuality .
of the Booths is the character of his countenance.
His bearing throughout the great third act, and
Ms dumb - action at the close, were well con
ceived, and fulfilled the promise whloh the more
than ordinary Intelligence of Ms face hed out, But'
the Impression whloh the whole Impersonation pro
duced was that It was that of a man who possessed
a natural' love and talent for the stage, a laudable
ambition to be a fine delineator or Shakspeare,.oc- •
oaslonally large ideas of the character attempted,
but without the physical attributes necessary to a
first-olass performer. Neither la Mr. Booth faithful
in Ms readings—an unpardonable error In an actor
whomust have played the part many, many times,'
Whether Ms lapses were occasioned by Ms impetuo
sity of stage action, or whether he was In the first
place careless hr the study of the part, or whether
on Saturday evening ho deemed the character of the
audience justified an Interlinear “cutting” of.
scenes, wo are left to conjecture only. No occasion
exists for Mr. Booth attempting Shakspearean
parts. No one wishes to see Mm In them. There
are one or two actors whose Tare genius bids Mghest
' for them, and who accordingly should be allowed a
monopoly. He is going to attempt Hamlet this even
ing, when life may feel sure that no one will desire
to witness him in it, after having seen the really
fine conceptions his brother Edwin.' ' Let Mr. J, B.
Booth hew out another path for Mmself in the his
trionic forest; and we dare say he will discover an
elegant sufficiency ofbays and laurels.
If we had not been informed by the play blllß
that Mr.Mordaunt essayed the part of. Othello
for the first time, we should eertalnlyhave supposed
It the last, so heavy and burdensome’was the style
in which It was given. TMs .pay have been due,
however, to the faot of Mr, Mordaunt’s being the
heavy man of the Qhestnut-stroet company,' and to
hls cherishing a conviction that It was Ms duty to
display the politician’s virtue of consistency. Mr.
Mordauntis impersonation would have been very
good, probably, If It had not been very bad. The
only point he made throughout the whole play was
thepolpt of speaking in a most heavy and lroh
tongued voice, and as If each sentence weighed so
many pounds. He acted In a most ponderous
and massive stylo, and In not one'single In
stance developed any of the delicacy and grace
of Othello's character, in some scenes lie did
justice to its force. We have the Idea—an erro
neous one it may be—that Mr. Mordannt would
•make an effective actor in the BUI Sykes
school.' He has a massive and compact frame,
and a voice capable of much sledge-hammer
execution. In sneh a character as Othello he ta even
more out ofplaoe than Mr. Booth as logo: Before
he again performs it, It will be necessary for Mm
to study it, so as to be at least perfect In the words
ofthe part. On Saturday evening he transposed
whole sentences In the most startling and original
style, and evolved a number of new meanings.
The good soene in , Mr. Mordaunt’s acting—for It Is
not to be denied that he possesses seme merit—was
In the second scene of the second act, where Othello
rushes in from the guard-house and confronts the
drnnken Cassio, exclaiming, “ Hold, foryourUvosU”
In scenes of subdued passion and pathos his groans
were of the most dismal nature; more sugges
tive, It is to beremarked, of pangs oforamp than,of
pangs of conscience. .. . >
. Mr. Lewis Baker, was excellent as Cassio, giving
ns th« only thoroughly sensible and consistent piece
of noting to the performance. The oharaoter of ito
derigo waß worse than Wasted on Mr. J. T. Ward,
who did net begin to entertain the slightest concep
tion of what was required of him. He was llkeffar
lequin on Ms good behavior. Mr. W. S. Higgins, as
Brabantio, acted with more vigor and discretion than
he haß been-Jn the habit of evlnolng. Mlsa' Annle
Ward was the Desiemona. She knew her part and
dressed handsomely, and was as mnch Desiemona as
a vivified fashion-plate of a pride would be, simper
ing and attitudinizing on the stage. Lastly, a Mrs;
Baker was the Emilia, Commencing with Mr. Booth
and going through with the characters as we have,
the merit of the several characterizations in the de
scending spiral may be'jald to grow small by degrees
and (all bnt the) beautifully less.
In a word, the New Chestnut can never hope to
succeed in producing tragedyuntilltengages tragic
stars of the first class, and a oompany with at least
a tincture of traglo talent. The management has
yet to learn that all leading men with musde wUI
not do for Othello, and that a singing chambermaid
Is hardly the Desdemema the pnbllc have a right to
expect, however charming she may be in her legiti
mate sphere. It must learn, too, that the business
or the stage must be conducted with ..promptitude,
and that, In order to give efficiency to a tableau,
all supernumeraries shonld be decently drilled; and
that the more of them there are of age the better.

Fourth, That ftU p6UUoal po'
The author of these resolutions, and those who
concur in his views, appear to me to commit the
radical error of supposing that the obstacles to ob
taining. the peace which we all desire consists in the
difficulty or finding proper agencies for negotia
ting, so that the whole scope of the resolutions ends
■ln nothing but suggesting that, If the enemy will
treat, the best agenoy would be State delegates to
a convention! whereas, the whole and only obstacle
is that the enemy will not treat at all, or entertain
any other proposition than that we should'sub
mlt to their yoke, acknowledge that we are
criminals, and appeal to their mercy for pardon.
I win add that history was replete with Instances
of the Interminable difficulties and delays which at
tend the attempt to negotiate are numerous. If
this has been the oase where the parties possessed.
full power to conclude a treaty, what oau we hope
from an assembly of negotiators from thirty or forty
States, who,ln the..midst of an exasperating war
fare, are to meet without power to oonolude any
thing! In the history of our country we find that
In a time of profound peace, when the most cordial
brotherhood sentiment existed, and when a long
and bloody war had been brought to a triumph
ant olose, It required two years to assemble a
convention and bring its deliberations to an
end, and smother year to procure the: ratifi
cation of their labors. With such a war as the pre
sent In progress, thevlews of the large assemblage
of negotiators proposed would undergo constant
changes, according to thevlolssitudes, according to
the snuggle, aud tbe attempt to secure concordant
views would soon be abandoned, and - leave the par
ties more embittered than ever, less hopeful of the
possibility of successful negotiation. Again, how.
is the difficulty resulting from the conflicting pre
tensions of ,the two belligerents In regard to
several of tbe States to be overcome 1 la it sup
posed that Virginia would outer into a convention
with a'delegatlon from what our enemies choose
to term the State of West Virginia, and thus
recognize an insolent-and violent dlßmemberment
of her territory 1' Or would the ..United states
consent that West Virginia should be deprived of
her pretensions to equal rights alter having formal
ly admitted her as a State, and allowed her to vote
at a Presidential election 1 Who wouldsend a dele
gation from Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, or
Missouri! The enemy claim to hold the govern
ments of- thOße-States,-while we assert them to be
members of the Confederacy. Would delegates be
received from both sides! If so, there would soon
be a disruption of the Convention. * -If delegates are
received Grom neither side, then a convention of the
States most vitally interested In the result would
remain, unrepresented; and what value oould be at
tached to mere recommendations of a body of nego
tiators under such circumstances !

J6ff Davis on Peace and Reconstruction—An
Xmportant Document in view of the
present Peace Excitement,
Denial of'the Reported Interview of
' Hr; Blair with the Wash
ington Cabinet.
WisHiHfiTOK, Jan. 21.—The Intelligencer ofSatur
day, referring to the departure of Mr. Blair on Fri
day, says: ' - .
“The pertinacity with whleh the lnteUtgencer has
determined to adhere .to a grave view of the Blair
mission—based on its confidence in the veracity Of
persons in high position, as well as on the signs of
“» times—ls strengthened by what appearedto be
very reliable rnmors or. the action of the rebel Con
gress In regard to Peace Commissioners., con
jolntlv wlth this apparently aoourate Intelligence
ftom Richmond aeours the generally conceded fact
that Mr. Blair Is again on his way Bom Washing
ton to the rebel capital. It Is for the public, as well
as ourselves,'to draw•tlnferenoes from, those colnoi-,
dences, which tally so'remarkably with ail the
speculations made in this column in regard to this
mission.” . .
In another paragriph it says: '
“We have good reason—not to say authority—for,
stating that Mr. Blair, Sr., goes to Blohmond upon
no hollow or heartless mission, bUt upon one of sub
stance, giving hope to patriotic men that an Oppor
tunity for the' highest reason will be afforded to
statesmen tb bring the present civil war to a elose
by negotiation.” :
The; Intelligencer also says that Mr. Blair will
freelyconferwiththe members of the rebel Con
gress.* This statement Is corroborated by a' pri
vate letter which liasbeen received in this city from
a gentleman of some prominence in Washington.
He says, thatFranols P.Blair, Sr., returns to Blch
mohd with full authority from President Lincoln to
give sale conduct to Washington for peace oommli
,sionors from Jederaon Davis. 'On the'day Blair
left (Friday) the Cabinet, was several hoursla ses
sion,and.lt was understood that the oenferenoe re
lated to his movements. But beyond the fact that
a conference was held, nothing is known, although
the spebnd visit has some significance following so
cloeMy as It does on the first.
DAVIB ON PEAOK AHB BEOOHSTEtJC'riON.
On the lTthof last November the Senators from
Georgia, In the rebel Congress, Inquired of Jeff
Davis what were Ms opinions concerning separate
State'actlon In the direction of.peace. In reply, he
Condemned separate State aotion because “ The lm
medlatefand lnevltabletendenoy of such action Is to
create discord and to suggest to our enemies the
possibility of a disßOlutlon of the Confederacy, and
to encourage them by the spectacle of our divi
sions, to more determined action against ns.” After:
thus comiemhlng this policy he speaks,, of united, as
opposed to separate action of the States, and says:
IT all the States of the two hostile federations are -
to-meet In convention, it Is plain that such meet*
lng'can oniytake place after an agreement as to
.time, place, and terms on* which they are to meet.
Now, without ClsouEatag the- minor, although
hot trifling, difficulties of agreeing as te time
and plaoo. it is certain that the States would
sever consent to a convention without a pro
' vtous'agreement as to the terns on which they
were to meet. . The proposed convention must
meet on the basis either that no State should,
- against Its own will, be bound by the decision
of the convention, or that It shall be so bound.
-But It is plainly an-agreement on the basis
'ihatno State atoll be bound, without Its consent,
.by the result of the deliberations, would boan.aban
sdonmont on the part of the North of its pretended
; right of coercion—wouldbe an absolnte recognition
;.of the independence-of the several States, of the
Confederacy—would be, in a -word, so complete a
concession of the rightfulness of our cause that the
. most visionary cannot nope for such an agreement.
Jn.advance or the moettog>f-a convention the
. only Other possible baste ol meeting is that each
State should agree bafnighana tn hq hnnnd-hy the
- 'lesipiuirormc convcntion; and such agreement is
but another form of submission to Northern do
minion, as we well know that In such a convention
we should be outnumbered nearly two to one on the
very threshold.of the scheme proposed. Therefore,
we are met by an obstacle-which cannot be removed.
IS not the Impracticable character of the prefect
apparentl
Yon will observe ttot I leave entirely out of view
the suggestion that a convention of au the Statesof
both federations should be held by common consent,
without any,prevlous understanding as to the effect
of Its decisionsj should meet merely to debate and
passiesolntlonß ttot are to bind no-one. It is not
supposed that-thte can realty be the meaning attached
to the proposal by these who are active In its support,
althongh the resolutions to which you Invite my
attention declare the function of snoh a conven
tion would be simply to propose a plan of peace
withthe oonsentof the two belligerents; or, In other
words, to-act as negotiators in treating for peace.
This part of the scheme Is not Intelligible tome.
If the convention Is only to be held with the consent
of the two belligerents, ttot consent cannot be ob
tained without negotiation. The plan then would
resolve-Itself Into a scheme that the two Govern
ments should negotiate an agreement for ttoap
pointment. of negotiators -to make proposals for a
treaty. It seems much more prompt ana simple to
negotiate fl>r peace at once, than to negotiate for
the appointment of negotiators, who are to meet
without power to do anything but make proposals.
If the Government or the United States 1s willing to
make peace, it .will treat for peace directly. Ifun
wllllng, it will refuse to consent to a convention of
States, ‘.

road Officers,” held on Saturday last, toe chairman
was directed to hand to toe dally papers, for pub-
Iteatlon, the following letter. .It la from, a well
known and highly-respected gentiemtmiof New
York, and has, It wfll be semi, « direct waring on
too question now pending in respect to tou admis
sion of onr people of color to toe olty railway
cars. It is right to state hero that toe directors of
toe Darby, toe Manaytrak, and toe Fifth and Sixth
streets Hallways have, unsolicited, and to obodlenoe
to what they deem the pnbllo sentiment, as weir as
from' a sense of toe simplejustice'of the act, recently
removed all class restrictions as to toe use of their
oars. Fourteen other companies, however, still re*
tain them, and from soStotaqulrieß lately made, we
Incline to the opinion that Philadelphia, in this re
speot, stands newly, if not unite, alone among
Northern cities.. ; ' 6 <
...... New YoBKj Jan. 39,1886.
Sib : Colored people ride In all the city
oais to New York, and have done so forabdut eight
months. ju&st spring a colored woman was eiocted
from one of the city oars by the conductor, aided by
apoUceman, whom he'oailed on. The woman proved
-to be .the. wife or a sergeant to one of the stored
, regiments to New York. The mattes was- taken
to hand by toe “Committee on BeorattlnW” -of
the trnlon League cinh, nnder the superin
tendence of Mr. Oolyen, the late Mr. Ta Coates
Noyes volunteering as counsel, and was brought to'
legal adjudication. It was found that there was no
law, State or municipal, making any dlsttaoHrin of
color to pnbllo conveyances, and the . action of the
conductor and policeman was entirely condemned.
The policeman was examined by toe Police. Oom
; missioned, and confessed be had no Instructions
which authorised toe action he had taken. He was
severely censured; and threatened with expulsion
in case of a repetition of tho offenoe. The directors
of all toe city railroad companies then at once gave
notice, that colored persons could In future ride in
their oars, and they have done so from that time
forward. No feeling exists to New-York against
riding with colored people, and the re-opening of
toe question here would not be for a moment tole
rated by public sentiment. .
Very respectfully yours,
_ - r G-eo. Cabot Wibb.
Benj.P. Hunt, Esq, Philadelphia.
Going Beyond Onr Depth.
Out of a great many amusing extracts, showing
toe mistakes wMeVwe all make when we attempt
to say or write about anything we don’t understand,
we select three which follows:
Tbeoelebrated speoohof Sir Boyle Boehe: “Mr.
Speaker, I smell u rat; I see him floating in the air:
but murk me, I shall .yet nip him to the bud,” was
evidently toe model upon • which a writer to Kansas
framed, the other day, some remarks upon the re
cent election. The Leavenworth Conservative says
that, by toe result of that election, “ the fall of cor
ruption has been dispelled, and the wheels of the
State Government will no longer be trammeled by
sharksthat have beset the public prosperity like
loensts.”
—A rich scene occurred to toe debate to the New
Jersey Assembly on Friday morning last, 19to tost.
The Trenton Monitor, describing It, says:
“Mr. Culver, toe stalwart Copper son of Hud
son, drawing his Inspiration from the mischievous
Han Holsman, who sat right behind him, to oppos
leg the rescinding of the role first adopted, gave
himself .full swing, and spoke exactly as follows:
‘ Mr. Oltrk, honor is toe foundation of virtue. Hid
my party not possess honor, It would bolt it like a
shot from a shovel. Besotod this rule, and you will
have revolution to New Jersey! Yes, sir! You
will have bushwhackers,' guerillas, Mexloo, disor
der, wrangltogs, and every sort of bloody, topsy-tur
vy arrangement. Yes, sir-nr-r I’ The gentleman
extinguished himself by proposing an amendment
to a motion to lay on toe table. This was so palpa
bly Incorrect that his own party'todneed Mm to sit
down, which be did; amid peals of laughter.' The
climax was Capped when tob merry Fangborn, of
the Jersey Oity Times, gravely tendered'him his
congratulations on Ms stunning effort, which were
received to good part by the’ Hudson specimen of
Jack Downing. Snob a rich time has not been
known in our Legislature for years'.”
Patterson, N, J., is goingto he fovored with an
opera and toe journals of that pity do not seem to
knowhow to talk about It.' One speaks to glowing
termsof;the“soenio song,” and Inquires: “Who
has not heard of and how few have seen this most
popular of operas 1” The other remarks, apparent
ly with surprise, that tow singers “ are well posted
to all their parts,” and that the “performances are
chaste and of toe first order, no vulgarities or low
talk being tolerated on the stage.” Of toe second
performance it states that “officers will be to at
tendance to preserve order.” '
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The stock market has not yet recovered from the
shook which toe foil of gold on Thursday and Friday so
sensibly produced upon prices.. On Salarday we no
ticed a continuance of that feverish excitement which is
often the forerunner of : a general panic. Government
loans only manifested anything like steadiness, yrhlle
railroads and other securities iwer* considerably un
settled. The continued successes of the army and navy
have begun to eause a feeling of caution to regard to
extensive operations of any kind, for the same elements-
Which have brought about the sudden decline in the
high premiums on gold, may, it is feared, prodncea
.similST TFEuilin other cases of Inflation. This,, though
to n meaeureprospective, has caused increased circum
spection oh the -part of many lenders, -who have sud--
deulr become rather more particular about names,
securities, and margins, than they were in the earlier
part of last week, U. S. 1881 loan sold on Saturday at
110%; the.KMOs at 101%, no change; and the 6-29aat
K 9, an advance of 2; State securities were ratherfinn,
toe fives advancing X, and toe war. loan sixes sold
steady at 104; city sixes were dull, the municipal*
declining Hi the new. however,, were at
88, with littledoing. The sales of company bonds were
very limited. Camden and Amboy 6s, of ’B3, Bold at
: 160; Lehigh Vairey 6s at 100: Goading 6s, of ’43, at 89,
and Morris Canal bonds at MO. Tko share list con
tinued depressed. Heading opened at 64%, bat sold
down to 62% at the dose. Philadelphia and Brie fell
oi?K—selling at 26%, Minehill, Catawiesa, and Penn
sylvania Railroads ruled at about Friday’s prices.
There was considerable doing in oil stocks at steady
prices. Canal securities were very dull. Bank stocks'
are quiet, the only sale being of Manufacturers’ and Me
chanics’ at 32. In city-passenger railroad shares there
was vo.ylittle doing. Arch-street soldat 17; Second
and Third at 67;44 was bid for Tenth and Eleventh; 31
forThirieentttandFifteenth;26 for Green and Coates;
23 for Girard College; 53 for Fifth and Sixth, and 34

Oar readers may have noticed in the telegraphic,re
ports of the Congressional debate on the Loan Bil]>.that
upon motion of Hr. StOyenß the following paragraph
Was erased from the bill:;
, ‘Audthe Secretary of ths Treasury is farther aattto
rsjfid to issue bonds of the description leaned. under the
authority of the act of Jane 22, 1860, in pursuance of the
notice for proposal for a loan dated Decembers,. 1360, to
subscribers to thatloan for the oneper centnmdsposited
anderlaid nttice and not repaid; provided.that the
bonds so issued shall bear not more than five per cent
um interest. and provided farther, that-iha.fractional
amonnt may be repaid in lawful money of. the United
Stites. ,t
It did not occur to one inahnndredroaders.probably,
(hat there .was any substantiaLreaeon why, this danse
should have been stricken from the hill, bnllliere was
a cause, and a good one,' nevertheless. In September of
lS6o*Gen&ral Dlx, then Secretary of the. Trossniy, lsenod
proposals for a loan of five mlllions of- dollars, those
subscribing to it being required, as usuak, to deposit
one per centum of their bids as a, guarantee of their
ability and willingness to meet the termaof their con
tracts. The lbanwas takes; but between the time of?
the deposit of one per centum and: the payment of the
fell amonnt, the first troubles, took, place in Charles
ton harbor in regard to Port Moultrie. Some of
the subscribers took. alarm, and infused to make
good their offers. Of coarse the one per centum
advanced was hat, the consequence of
the defection was; that the eredit of the Government
was seriously injured, and the rising patriotism of the
nation At the end. of Tear years these gen
tlemen who then shrank from, the hazard of lending
their capital to.-their country, qame forward with a
claim for their forfojtod pledge, money, and by some
means or other succeeded In presenting their claim so
Insidiously as almost to. have escaped detection.
Thanks, however, to Mr. Stevens, these capitalists,
who are willing to, lend- to the Government only when
they can serve their own pockets, have been completely
thwarted. Ifanyof the subscribers to the loan of ,18(9
are entitled to indemnification, theyare those.patriotic
citizens who fulfilled their contracts, although the loan
had sunk ten per centum in consequence of the political
troubles at the Bonth. They helped to sustain the
vernment, huh the others only embarrassed and hin
dered it; those acted In faith, hut theca, with a most
damaging pnsllaulmity.
The H. Y. J?osf of Saturday says: '
The new loan bill gives great sattsfaetlonin conserva
tive financial circles The enactment was passed last
evening, with the amendment prohibitive of further
issues or currency. The policy of refusing to authorize
any further inflation la now felly, adopted by Congress,
Gold opened atm and alter selling down to aoSdl
closed at2C9J<. The loan market Is as quiet as usual on
Saterdays. At six to seven per cent, capitalists are flad
to place their funds on call, with choice collaterals.
The stock market is less ezvited, but tbe quotations of
tbe more active securities axe irregular, and still duo,
lusting considerably from hour to hour. Governments
are quiet, and the advance of last evening is barely
sustained.
