cal power of. the leaders of the rebellion.
I do not find anywhere an exacting and
intolerant spirit in reference to negro suf
frage. Many admit that it will be impossible
to make it a condition precedent, and others,
especially those who have returned from
the South, are free to say that the colored
masses just released from slavery are unfit
to exercise the franchise of the ballot. Such
is the judgment of one of the foremost Re
publican leaders—and one of the most vigor
ous soldiers during the war—given to me
this very morning- after a familiar inter
change of sentiments. A different feeling
is excited by the other issues. That which
will undoubtedly produce vigorous legisla
tion is the fear that when the late insurgent
States are rehabilitated, and when their
Senators and Representatives are introduced
into the States from which their predeces
sors retired, and attempted to break up
the Government in MI MI., there will be no
rescue, no refuge for the negroes in the
South, under the new systems that may
grow up under the inspiration of the strong
and increasing hatred of that class by the
former slaveholders. The difficulty of pre
venting this tyranny is one of the worst ob
stacles in the way of reconstruction. For
my own part, I believe that the South
ern .people can be trusted even with
the interests of those who have lately
been theft slaves_ It would be monstrous
if under all their new, daily, and vo
lunteered professions of fealty, and after
all the exhibitions of clemency on the
part of the President and the people of the
free States, the moment that reorganization
took place in the South and the States were
represented in Congress, their local tribu
nals would be managed in the very worst
spirit of intolerance, and plans adopted by
which one wide rule of injustice and ruin
would be enforced upon the freedmen.
To make this confidence in themselves
general, to break down the suspicion
of powerful Northern leaders, and to
prove inture fidelity and future loyalty
by present humanity and present mo
deration, should be the study of those
now asking to take part in the future go
vernment of the country. But if these
counsels should be disregarded, and if they
should mistake the President's philanthro
pic and comprehensive action for a desire
to revive the tyrannies of other days, in a
new and yet more revolting shape, and to
give influence to the men who assisted
to hurl their country into civil War, in
such a contingency the coming Congress
will be arrayed against the Southern peo
ple—the reconstructed states will be kept
in a long probationary suspense—and the
good and liberal man at the head of the Ad
ministration will find that he was mistaken
in the hope that by treating them kindly,
and by reposing full confidence in their
professions, they would justify him before
the great and controlling power of the
loyal States. OCCASIONAL,

The First Colored Regiment.
Secretary STANTON this morning granted
use of the celebrated Campbell Hospital (now
vacated), at the end of Seventh street, near
the city limits, for the reception of the let
Colored Regiment of the Disirict of Columbia.
They are expected to arrive on Saturdaymorn-
Jug, and it is proposed to give them a hearty
and Significant greeting. These brave colored
men have been in eighteen battles, and come
back greatly reduced in numbers. They were
the first colored troops raised in the war, and
were followed by another black regiment of
equal strength and courage. It is a fact that
speaks volumes that, although Washington
sent out several, certainly two, regiments of
white troops, no such testimonial as this was
every extended to them by our people on their
return from the battle-geld.. It is unnecessary
that I should speak of the celebrated cavalry
of Colonel BAKER, which did so much service
against the enemy, nor of the noble men who -
fought in the other organizations. It is re
served for the colored people to set an exam
ple to the whites in first greeting their own
brothers. I believe Colonel BIRNEY (not the
lamented . and beloved General of that name)
organized and got the first colored regiment
to the field.
New York Politietanc
Quite a gathering of New York politicians are
on the ground this morning. I notice lions. JNo.
CoeNu.ANII, S. S. COX, Joint STEM, and other
of that stripe. They all profess to be great
Jonrisox men. The Union men of New York
arc also on the ground in force, and say that
they have not the slightest fear of carrying
the State by a sweeping majority.
Soldiers , Bounties.
. The Second Comptroller has decided that in
Order to entitle a soldier, when discharged
from wounds, to the whole of his bounty, as if
he had served out his full term, the wound or
wounds for which he was discharged must
have been received during the term of enlist
ment which he was serving out when die
charged. A discharge for a pre-existing disa
bility, or for a wound received in service un
der a previous enlistment, does not bring the
soldier within the intent of the law.
Manufactures.
t:rom the returns received at the General
Land Office, we are informed that in 1860 there
'were eighty-eight establishments in the United
States for the manufacture of glass and glass
ware, with an invested capital of $6,02 1,566 ;
costing, for material used, L 52,817,021; male
bands employed, 8,617; female hands employed,
240; annual cost of labor, $2,838,621; annual
value of products,B,sol,3os. - • --
Internal Revenue Decision.
Yesterday the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue made the following ileeisiOn!
"A dealer is a person who sells or offers to
sell any goods, wares, or merchandise of
foreign or domestic production. The fact that
he has no Warehouse, store or other fiscal place
as a Web his saleA are made, in no manner
releases him from his liability to license-tax
as a dealer. . .
~T he dealer selling on commission for his
CM/signors is a factor, a general bailee charged
with the legal custody of the goods, able to
sue and liable to be sued, responsible for the
fulfilment of the contract, and is the recipient
of the price. Therefore, every person receiv
ing consignments of merchandise, in ships,
boats or cars, and effecting sales and deliver
ing the same directly from such vessels or
cars, is liable for license as a dealer, which
license; should cover all his sales.uf
Sentenee Remitted.
President Jciexsox has remitted the unexe
cilia part of the sentence of c R
-PAULDING,
who was some time since found guilty of
trading with the enemy during the late war,
and sentenced to three years confinement.
The prisoner has been set at liberty.

Contr.
Secretary McCum.octr, of the treasury, has,
after a consultation with the heads of the
different bureaus, deter Mined to abolish the
present system of purchasing stationery, etc.,
by contract. It is claimed that;by supplying
the department with such articles as may be
needed from time to time by purchasing in
open market, Ste expenses will be materially
lessened.
Financial Affairs of the Freedmen's
Bureau.
The Commissioner of freemen , affairs has
established the following regulations forthe
government of the financial affairs of the bu
reau: All sub -agents or ollicer.s on duty under
the assistant COMMissioner will turn over to
him, or a bonded Officer of his selection, all
funds now or that may hereafter be in their
hands, taking his reeeii..ts therefor in tripli
cate, one of which will be forwarded direct to
the commissioner at Washington, the others
to be retained for the settlement of their ac
counts at the treasury. These receipts should
specify, if possible, the source from which the
money has been derived. All sub-agents or
ofllcers requiring.funds will make a monthly
estimate in duplicate similar to form 9 regu
lations quartermaster's department, and for
ward the same through the assistant commis.
sioner to the commissioner at Washington for
approval. If such estimate, or any part of it,
is approved, the assistant commissioner will
be ordered tcr turn over the' it444§ to poi
agent or officer, holding him accountable
therefor. No money will be digbrirged except
it has been drawn in this manner.
internal Revenue Receipts.
Receipts from internal revenue to-day
amounted to $1,053,456. The receipts since
July lit, 1865, reached nearly 130,000,000.
Treasury Decision.
In consequence of the many inquiries on the
subject, the Second Comptroller of the Trea
sury has deeided that an officer commissioned
and properly in service, being captured before
muster, is entitled to pay to the date of his
return to the loyal States, and, if afterwards
he is on duty with his regiment, to the date of
his discharge.

Counsel Asked of the President by
Virginians.
The President has received a letter from
Virginians in Albemarle county, Va., in which
they ask his counsel concerning the casting of
their votes for candidates for the next Con
gress, all their candidates having been conser
vative men before the ,war and opposed to
secession, but some of whom countenanced
the Southern cause during the rebelkion to
such an eXtent as to prohibit them from taking
the oath prescribed by Congress in lint The
following is the correspondenee on the sub.
ject :
CHARLOTTESVILLE, 1 . A., Sept. —, 1365.
To his Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States;
DEAR SIR: We, the undersigned citizens of
the county of Albemarle and State of Virginia,
and friends of your administration, prompted"
by the difficulties which surround us in
relation to the approaching congressional
election, do appeal to you for counsel and
advice as to our proper course of action. In
this congressional district, for example, three
gentlemen are soliciting the suffrages of the
people. They were all conservative men be
fore the war, and opposed secession. Two of
them admirthat they countenanced the South
ern cause during the war to an extent which
prohibits them from taking the oath which
was prescribed by the Congress of the United
States in 1861 The third says that he can con
scientiously take it, and the question presents
itself, How shall we votol Some of us prefer
one candidate, and some another; but, being
wholly uninformed as to whether the test
oath will probably be repealed or modified so
as to admit Southern members, we have
thought it possible that you might enlighten
us on the subject. Our first wish is to send
men to Congress who will give the most
efficient support to your administration,
whether they be of the one class or the
other. Should it be your opinion that the
Oath will most probably be insisted on, and
that our object will most likely he obtained
by voting only for those who can stand the
test, then we are disposed to relinquish our
individual preferences, and east our suffrages
for those who are qualified to take the oath.
If, on the Other hand, you should entertain
the opinion that men whose antecedents
have been conservative will be admitted,
notwithstanding their inability to take the
oath. then we may vote otherwise than we
would do under a different state of things.
We truly and sincerely desire information on
this subject, and Should you be able to spare
the time from your other duties, and see nO
impropriety in complying with our request,
we would be greatly obliged to you to furnish
the information asked for. Our main purpose
is to pursue that course which will be most
likely to sustain you and your policy in the
administration of the Government.
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

VIEWS OF SOME OF THE CANDIDATES
'FOR CONGRESS
Proposed Meeting to Sympathize with
Davis not Allowed.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.—Richmond and Frede..
rieksburg (Va.) papers of this morning have
been received here.
A majority of the forty odd candidates for
Congress in Virginia appear to be very out
spoken in the avowal of their opinions. The
Fredericksburg Ledger gives an abstract of
the views of candidates fora seat in the House
of Representatives, from the Fredericksburg
district. Three candidates, Christian, Dou
glass, and Curtis addressed the meeting at
Lancaster Court-house. Mr. Christian discuss
ed the question of his eligibility, and spoke of
his efforts in favor of the Union as a Bell and
Everett elector in 1860, of his foresight of
the evils of secession and disunion, and the
warnings which he then gave to the people.
lie then spoke of his services in the Senate,
during the war ; how he did all in his power
to sustain the State and the Confederate go
verninentS during the struggle through which
we have just-passed ; quoted the Constitution
of the United States, to show that he was not
disqualified by anything he had done. He
spoke of the test oath, passed by Congress in
1862 as:unconstitutional, and thought that oath
would be repealed.
Mr. Douglass stated that he believed in
States-rights as the great fundamental princi
ple of our Government ; stated that he was an
original secessionist, and showed that seces
sion was not the work of the politicians, as had
been charged, but the spontaneous rising up
who forced the Virginia conven
toir h o l ii, e e p ot e n o l l i e o l sed of more than two-thirds of the
Union, to carry the State out of the Union at
the time they did. Ile also spoke of eligibility,
and showed that he stood upon the same plat
form as all the other candidates, except Mr.
Curtis, none of whom could take the test oath.
Mr. Curtis next addressed the people and
said he had always been opposed to the here
sy of secession. lle served in the convention
mclunoudi in 'Ma, and voted against the or
dinance, but nuder the instructions of his con
stituents had voted for its ratification. lle
voted at the polls againstlit, and had always
opposed it Since the days of nullification in
South Carolina.
The Lynchburg Virginian says: We are re
quested by General Curtis to say that under
general orders issued at Richmond sometime
since the meeting proposed to be held this
morning to make arrangements for getting a
petition to the President in behalf of Jeff.
Davis cannot he allowed, and it Will, there
fore, not be held. The General appreciates
the natural sympathies felt by the people of
the South for Da'vis in his misfortunes, but does
not think it prudent that public meetings in
his behalf, or for other puiposee ealeulated to
excite and inflame the feelings, be held. Be

FIFTHS OF THE THOUSANDS,
THE PAIR EXPECTED TO BE A GREAT,
GRAND, OORGEOIIB SUCCESS,
[Special to The Press.]
Immense crowds have been in attendance at
the State Fair, now being held in this place.
All day, so great was the rush that though the
gates were not advertised to open until nine
O'clock, the committee were compelled to have
them opened before seven. The streets and
avenues have been thronged throughout the
whole day with. a perfect, mass of humanity.
The hotels and private houses are filled to
their utmost capacities, and yet every train
brings thousands upon the ground. Many
being unable to obtain any accommodation
whatever, last evening went to Lock Haven,
Blinbitry, and other points, even - Hay miles
distant to obtain lodgings, Great crowds Axe
expected to-morrow, but where they will be
stowed away it is impossible to imagine.
Thieves and pickpockets, ever on the lookout
to ply their nefarious calling, are here in al..
most incredible numbers. Probably never be-,
fore have so many of these rascals assembled at.
a similar gathering. To-day hundreds, yes,
thousands of dollars have been stolen front
the visitors. The Philadelphia detectives
Would have been of great value here, as the
local police force is worse than useless. The
whole fault lies with the Williamsport Coun
cils, who were too niggardly to supply
the detectives. It is reported that Judge
Grier, of the United States Supreme Court, is
among the losers. The number of entries to
day has greatly increased, and now the dis
play is indeed magnitieent. The delay of
the trains, caused by the unusual number
of travellers, has kept back much stock,
but that which is already here has been pro
perly stabled. The . display of fruits, partion
larlY apples, is very fine. Seldom have I seen
a better collection. The proceedings today
opened with a truly grand cavalcade, which
was very creditable. The cavalcade was fol
lowed by a parade of stallions and horses, and
subsequently by jacks and mules. The horses
and stallions were all noble animals, and pre
sented a line appearance. At noon to-day a
general trial of speed took place. This was
of but little importance, as no horses of re•
nown.were entered. The afternoon was gene
rally occupied in the same manner. A race
took place between a pair of grays from Ta
maqua and a pair of bays from Harrisburg*.
The grays were declared the winners after
a well.contested run, in three minutes and
twenty seconds. Thus far fortunately 110
accident has occurred, to mar the pleasure of
the occasion. Good order generally prevails,
but now and then is interrupted by the comi
cal endeavors of the county police to ferrit out
the whereabouts of some expert city thieves,
who have robbed some unwatchful Mortal of a
portion of his earthly treasure.
On Tuesday noon the annual address was de
livered by Senator Cowan. The address was
attentively listened to, and evidently pleased
all who were fortunate enough to hear it. No
fault whatever can be attached to the Senator,
'who spOhe in as clear and distinct a voice as
possible; but lie would be more than mortal
who could have made his voice heard by
all in the dense crowd that was In attend.
tame. Many distinguished gentlemen are
here. Among them I noticed GeneralS
Ord, liartranft, and Owen.:, The prize dis
tribution takes place on Friday. Many wish
for the day, yet, at the same time, dread its
approach. Quite an excitement was occa
sioned yesterday afternoon by the accidental
catching fire of the private gas-works which
supply the Herdic House. The works were
:almost completely destroyed, but, by hard
work and indefatigable energy, gas has again
been procured, and is burning to-night. Portu
nately, no other damage was done by the
flames. A notable feature of the fair is that
about one-half of those present are of the
gentler sex. Many of the fair creatures have
come from a great distance, and, to judge from
appearances, take much interest in what is
going on. This evening Professor Allen,
principal of the Agricultural College, centre
county, delivered an interesting and learned
address upon agricultural education. The
address was made in front of the Herdic
House, to a large concourse. Last night, Da
vis, the candidate of the Democracy for Audi
tor General, and editor of that traitorous
sheet, the Doylestown Democrat, spoke at the
court-house. The whole &flair was a com
plete fizzle, notwithstanding the multitude
in the town, only about one hundred and fifty
people, were present to hoar the illustrious
Davis " speak a piece!' - The principal topics
were negro suffrage and the United States and
the taxation of Government bonds—which lat.
ter the speaker chose to consider, from the
present exemption, unfair to the poor man.
In his opinion, 21.6 W bedida should be issued.
The whole tenor of his remarks on the subjeci
sounded greatly like repudiation. No enthu
siasm whatever was displayed, but in the
midst of the remarks of this <distinguished
Copperhead the gas suddenly flickered and
then went out, leaving all in darkness.

they caught. Robert Dorsey was hanged to a

The St. Louis Councilmen.
WHAT THEY THINK OF OUR CITY
The correspondent of the St. Louie Democrat,
in writing to that paper, says :
The representatives of the St. Louis press
were taker' in hand by members of the Phila
delphia Press Club, an association composed
of the reporters, editors, and contributors of
- tire Philadelphia local press. They have ele
gantly-furnished rooms on Chestnut street,
and maintain their organization for the pro
motion of social and professional intercourse.
Xheir rooms are adorned with photographs of
the earliest founders of the Philadelphia pa-
Pars and the present staff of writers con
nected with the various offices. The members
of the club are a lively, witty, talented set of
good fellows; Who exercised. their ingenuity
in making it pleasant for the St. Louis quill
drivers. They go everywhere, know every.
body, don't care for anybody, and believe in
the newspaper profession thoroughly. We
are under many obligations to them for their
Persistent and unwearying kindness, which
none of us shall ever forget, hut which,
judging by the experience thus tar:, is merely
a foretaste of what is to come during our stay
in the city.
* * * * * * *
I have been compelled to write the above
in somewhat of a - hurry. Our Philadelphia
friends arc so persistent in their attentions
that, beside time given us for meals, they will
not allow us a spare moment. I am urged to
a nasty conclusion by a call to start out on a
morning tour in company with. our City Fa
thers. Adieu till to-morrow.
In Ids next the same correspondent writes
11y letter thin morning closed rattier ab
ruptly, in consequence of the sudden call of
the Philadelphia committee upon our delega
tion to start off upon a visit to interesting
objects. It was my purpose to elaborate still
further some of the facts already ascertained
why St. Louis Inanidgeteres are sold at a
disadvantage in competition with Pittsburg;
but • I now feel that I cannot rdo the
subject full justice In the hurried man
lier In which everything concerning this
journey has to be written, in the Shalt inter.:
vale of sight-seeing. - Between the Philadelphia
Council committee on one hand, and the Phila
delphia Press Club carrying off the St.Louisians
vi et armis, on the other, the historians of the
journey, have really, thus far, been favored
with more courtesy than time.. It has been
one constant round of excitement from the
very hour of arrival, with brief intervals only
for meals—very much on the pattern adopted
by the St. Louis merchants for entertaining
the English capitalists who lately visited the
city. With this preface our read.ers will un
derstand why the accounts of our trip are so
imperfectly written, and will make many al
lowances accordingly. The day has been one
of unalloyed pleasure. The magnificence of
Philadelphia has been revealed to us, and her
greatness beyond all other cities as a manu
facturing centre has been demonstrated.
* * * * * *
The Philadelphians are making haste slowly
with their park enterprises, and are not to be
blamed for it either. In time they will equal
their more enterprising neighbor, and not
make half the fuss about it.
The special of the Democrat says :
Ibvitationa having been extended to the St.
Louisiana to visit the Walnut-street Theatre,
in the evening, the party proceed thither after
tea, and were seated in a desirable part of the
house. This theatre is most admirably ar
ranged and splennidly outfitted. The scenic
and other decorations are very tasteful, and,
indeed,the establishment, all in all, is one of
the largest, neatest and Most complete in the
country. Of course, you have nothing like it
in St. Louis, and Mr. De Bar could here take
many notes for the improvement of his opera
house, especially in the way of scenes and
stage machinery.
* *
The hospitality of the Pniladelphians is of
the most liberal, 1 might say elaborate desert!).
tion. The St. Louis visitors leoked for no such
reception as has greeted them here, and feel
that they are being treated in a manner that
embarrasses them, considering the design
with which they started out to avoid display,
and make their tour of observation without,
in any degree, desiring to Seek notoriety: I
cannot forbear referring to the courteousness
and pains-taking hospitality of the members
of tlie Philadelphia press, who have taken up
the humble representatives Of their profession
from St. Louis and literally overwhelmed
them with kindness. The "Bohemians"
here have associated themselves in a lite
rary and social club, now numbering some
sixty members. The have a suit of
nice rooms centrally located, furnished
superbly and provided with a respectably
sized library and other appropriate adjnncts,
where the members repair at their leisure to
read, or write, or converge, and enjoy their
°Ulna cum dig." ' At stated times they have
essays and dissertations on literary, philoso
phical or social themes, written and read by
the members. As a consequence, the best and
most fraternal feeling exists among the edi•
tors and reporters of the city as individuals,
and there is none of that envy and jealousy
that too often embitter the intercourse of men
in the same pursuits. A more Intelligent,
clever, and agreeable class of persons than the
members of the Philadelphia press I have
never seen anywhere. How in the world they
manage to bestow so much attention upon
strangers, and yet get up such full, complete,
and interesting newspapers, is a secret I
should like to learn.

TIM PIRATE S 1 aces. correspondent a
the Springfield Repubtican, who is travelling
down South, met the pirate Semmes, and thus
describes him
Semmes, whom loyal men call " pirate," and
rebels call "admiral," was on board, and 1
studied him closely to discover that noble,
chivalric bearing which I have heard ascribed.
to him by those who used to be thrilled with
rapture at his brave and gallant attacks upon
unarmed whalers and merchantmen. I think
this bearing must have entirely left him when
thelCearsargo bore down on the Alabama. To
me he looked like a repentant sinner who
had sinned a long time before the work of re
pentance began. On the whole, he is a cheap,
rheumy-looking man of about fifty-five years,
the only expressive feature about him being
his nose, which must have cost a great deal of
money to bring to its present bright ruby
color. He neither courted nor avoided oh.

of the 2.4 d hist, bave been received.
The following is the clause of the constitu
tion as adopted by the convention, by a vote
of is to 8 :
"The slaves in South Carolina having been
de /ado emancipated by the action or the
United States, neither slavery nor involunta
ry. servitude, except as a punishment for
crime (whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted) shall ever be re-established in this
State."
An ordinance to repeal the ordinance of se
cession was then ratified.
At the session of the 22d a vote was taken on
the proposition to make the basis of the re
presentation of the State rest upon the whole
population, irrespective of color, and it was
rejected by a large majority, leaving the clause
as reported by the committee, which makes
the - white population al MW the basis of repre
sentation.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier
says:
"Tile late struggle has unquestionably en
tailed upon us and our poSterity a long train

threshold of a penal experience which will be
protracted into coming years. The loss of

“ The cowardly, villain who made the attack
was Fred. J. Stanton, editor of the Gazette.”
The News , local column sets forth that, as an
immediate result, the Mayor convened the
City Council, which promptly rescinded its
vote electing Stanton the city printer, and as
signed the city printing to the News. - This ac
tion of the Council is officially =tilled
note published. The Nein gives also a formal
agreement, signed by some ninety-live busi
ness houses of Denver, transferring their pa
tronage from the Gazette to the News. Also,
the action of the Typographical Union, ex
pelling Stanton from its membership.
On the other band the Gazette, in a leading
editorial written by the editor in jail, presents
his side of the case thus;
Aransit Ottowntrn
To-day we have the pleasure of using the
United States jail, on Larimer street, as our
sanctum sanctorum,
and from thence we have
the honor of giving the public a statement of
the affair on our Street.%
The public will remember that on Thursday
evening, W. N. Byers, postmaster of this city,
Caine out in an article charging our children
with abstracting letters from the United States
post-ollice, " Instigated by an older head.”
.4itoh a charge could Only emanate from a soul
surcharged with infamy. No man - with the
heart of a man would ever bring au unolfend
ing family into such an affair, because he does
not, and cannot, and no one member of the
community a l pes believe anything of the kind.
Such a charge required personal attention;
and where is the man, however lost to deli
cacy, line or sensitive feeling, but would chas
tise the wretch who did it i We did not see
the article until after dark, on the evening, or
- we should have waited upon him then, but
some of Our friends strongly advised us to
withhold action until morning. We did so,
and in the morning of yesterday, we found
him, and well caned him for his temerity.
Some men would have shot him on sight.
We wish to say that it was not in defence of
ourself we did it, but to avenge au injured
family, whose protection we are proud to be.
After the affair we delivered ourself up to
Marshal Bailey and Judge Wilcox. Subse
quently a gang of the News' hangers-on, forty
Or fifty in number, headed et Dailey ; came
down to the express office t where we were
standing, and began to talk of satisfaction,
'lc.; their leader put his band on his revolver,
when we drew ours; just at this juncture a
policeman stepped between the belligerents,
and, with Marshal Bailey, took ns into the
ex
press (Mee under guard. Considerable excite
ment was the consequence amongst the friends
of Byers, and lynching and mobbing were
freely talked of, but after a little time it sub
sided.
In regard to the manner in which we caned.
him, we can Only say that under no circum
stances connected with ourself would we
have pursued such a course, but we Rafted
not the mode or manner of our doing it ; we
acted only as any father of a family would
have done under similar circumstances.
_ .
The statement on the street that Byers was
shaking hands with parties in the coach, at
the time of the attack, is not true.. The coach
had left ; we stoo at the door of the post-

office, and as he walked towards us- we Attack
him. Such is the fact.
With these remarks we leave it to the pub
lic, awaiting an official investigation.
In gOine further reuntrks, the edlttur says
In regard to the krinters , Unita, We elall
only say that three-fourths of it IS composed
of News , printers, and the cowardly schemes
which they have practiced upon the Gazette in
influencing our men cannot he explafnect irz

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The stock market was quite on the rampage
yesterday. The excitement in the speculative
stocks commenced early in the day, and laSted
till its close, with no sign of an early break.
The abundance of money is a sufficient cause
to which to attribute this_ activity, but a more
powerful cause is found In the extraordinary
cheerfulness of people having money to make
use of; and this feeling finds a natural field
ter exercise in the excitable arena of stock
jobbing. Government loans, though not much
dealt in as compared with other securities,
still hold their own. The 1881 s sold at 108,
which is a fraction - better. The Juno 7.30 s
were steady at 09'/. State loans continue very
dull. For City es there is still a good inquiry,
the old selling at 5834, and the new at WM—no
change. Railroad and canal bonds were mo
derately active at fair prices. The share list

figure of the previous day—and steadily
moved upward, and closed firm at 57%.

Basin the coal stocks, which, under a combi
nation of favorable circumstances, were all
higher. The sales were large, comprising
Fulton at Big Mountain at %,GreenMoun-
Min at Clinton at 1, and Swatara Falls at 3.
New York and Kiddie Pont fields sold very
largely, opening at 834, and closing - Arm at
1C. 1 4. For the past six months there has been
little said hi the latter stock, but the new
movement which set in yesterday is, we un
derstand, founded upon a substantial biISIS.
'ln no other way can the sudden rise be
accounted for. The New York and Middle
own the Lizartl cry& route ; which is in a di
rect line to New York from the tcliuylkill
county region. It is a route forty•six miles
nearer to New York than any other route from
the coal region. The lifinehill Railroad owned
this route at one time, and it was estimated to
be worth to them a million of dollars. The
New York dealers are anxious to secure this
road and save the expenditure of drawing
coal by the present circuitous routes. If
the connection be made between the re
gion and New York, as is contemplated, coal
will be brought to the New York market at a
saving of one dollar per ton. We understand
that a New York capitalist 1445 bid 615 per
share for the control of the stock. The oil
stocks were also slightly better as to price,
and there was more doing. The passenger
railrOail Stocks were again active, especially
ilestonville, Which advanced to 31-a 1.4645 of

thiiig, prices all tending upward, Call loans
are freely offered at 6 per cent. Prime mer
cantile paper is not so plenty.
Gold opened at 143%, and was firm at the
same figure about 4 P.
The question of the taxability by State au
thority of the shares of stockholderawin the
national banks will be argued before the
Court of Appeals of New York at its present
session. It goes up on two different appeals,
Ono from the ThiM, the other from the Fifth
judicial district. the Supretue Court of the
Third, Judges Ifogehoom, Miller and Ingalls
presiding, decided unanimously at general
term, last Week, that such shares are emempt
from State taxation when the capital stock is
invested in United States securities. In the
Fifth district, on the tontrary, the &him of
the Supreme Court have decided unanimously
at general term, that shares in the national
banks are taxable. The question is of great
importance, and if decided adversely to the
banks by the Court of Appeals, it will doubt
less be carried up to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The New York World states
that the taxability of sixty ml/1011•9 Of property
in that State is involved in the decision.
A custom prevails among some sharp Juan.
tiers by which the Governmentitax on notes
is evaded. The internal revenue law requires
stamps to be placed on all notes, at the
rate of fifty cents per thousand dollars. In
order to evade this tax a borrower of say one
hundred thousand dollars, instead 9t* giving
his note for the amount, with a fifty-dollar
stamp upon it, draws a check, which calls only
for a two•cent stamp, and passes the check
with the collaterals to the banker, thus rob
bing the Government of fifty dollars, loss the
two-cent stamp.

The New York Pont of last evening says :
The stock market opened strong but irregu
lar. Governments are steady, the now five
twenties being rather more in denielld at ad
vancing rates. Compound-interest notes are
active on the rumor that R long loan will be
issued about the middle of next month, the
bonds to be paid for in part or altogether in
these compound notes. Seven-thirties are not
so muck pressed for sale, and closed steady at
the prices.
Railroad shares show considerable activity,
but the improvement in quotations were
scarcely sustained ; 1,700 Erie sold at BSyAfliat,4;
