DECLINE IN PRICES OF STOCKS—HOW If 13 EX- PLAINED. ‘New York, Sept. 8—The Post's financial article says: The stock market was generally weak and lower during the forenoon, owing to a variety of Causes. The first of these was that even those Who were disposed to buy stocks thought the mar- ket had been advancing so rapidly that it must have a temporary reaction before it wouid be much higher; the next was that the inffairs of the trunk line pool seem to be no more settled than they were before the conference, which ended yester- day, and the next that tne ‘reports of the condi- ton and prospects of the coal and iron trades were considered les3 favorable than heretofore, Still other things which helped to affect the mar- ket for special Stocks were the rumored proposi- tion of the Denver to issue a blanket mortgage of 30 or 40 millton dollars, and that the Rock Island roposed to take the Minneapolis and St. Lous Into {ts corporation by issuing shares of Rock Island to the same amount as the Minneapolis and St. Louls in exchange for the latter. ‘The result of all the foregoing adverse influences was to cause @ general decline up to 12 o'clock, ranging from to 3 per cent, the latter on Michigan ‘conurat. ‘There was a pretty general recovery from this ex- treme dullness by 12:30 of 3 to %.

My Dear Sir: As many of us were out of the city on Monday last, attending the rifle match at Bay Ridge, Md., and not revurning till after mid- night, the consideration of your invitation to par- tcipate in the oriole parade in Baltimore on the 11th inst. went over to our regular monthly busi- ness meeting last night. Being duly considered last evening, the invitation was respectfully de- clined, with the thanks of the command for the complimentary manner in which you were pleased to frame it, and for the liberal tender of free trans- portation for the battalion and its band of music. ‘The corresponding secretary was directed to com- municate the action of the command to you,and he has undoubtedly done 90 to-day. To be frank with you, now that the question is settled by us, the National Rifles would like to see a little reciprocity in these matters. This command visited Baltimore twice last year and participated in parades—in June, at the Grand Army demonstration, and in September, at the oriole—and recently sent a rifle team, with a num- ber of other members and outside friends, to the excursion and rifle match at Bay Ridge, Md., all of which we did cheerfully, and enjoyed.

DECISIONS OF JUDGE MILLS ON THAT POINT TO-DAY. An interesting point was raised in the Police Court this morning in a charge of fast driving pre- ferred against Ernest Burgdorff, the livery stable keeper. The defendant was arrested last Satur- @ay afternoon by OMicers Cunningham and Kirby, charged with fast driving on Executive avenue in the White House grounds. Col Jackson appeaed for the defendant, and filed pleas against the ap- Plicability of the law to this case. Counsel Claimed that the law read that {t shall be unlaw- ful to drive faster than a moderate trot or gallop on any street, avenue or alley, and did not apply to government reservations. He also claimed that the police had no control over the Capitol or White House grounds. He said the latter nds ‘were set apart for the use of the Presi- lent. James B. Forsythe, a clerk in the surveyor's oMice, was sworn, and read a joint resolution Passed by the board of aldermen and common counell of the city of Washington tn 1829, which Tequested the mayor of the city, Joseph Grover, r., to ask the President’s permission to put a basin. in the White lot, near the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. He also read a letter signed by President John Quincy Adams giving the desired permts- ston. Judge Mills overruled the pleas, and said that the police have control of all the public grounds. ‘To concede what the counsel claims, would be to give license to all kinds of disorders 1m the public parks and squares, where order 1s very desirable. The case was then tried on its mefits,and a fine of $20 was imposed. Dr. Oliver J. Waters was then put on trial for fast driving at thesame point. Dr. Watersclaimed ‘that he was breaking a colt, and did not drive at a Tapld rate of speed. A simflar fne was imposed in this case. Dr. Waters afterwards came in and noted an appeal and gave bonds, ——.__ WASHINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE. Governments.

THR POLITICAL SITUATION. Ithas been the custom for many years for the leading men and politicians of both parties to gather here towards the last of August to look Over the political condition of things in their re- spective states and the country at large. Presl- ential schemes and counter schemes, gubderna- torial slates, senatorial projects and coalitions, to Say nothing’ of those for the cohesion of public plunder, have been formed here and carrird out Since the early days of Dean Richmond and Thur- low Weed. Probably the most active of these therings was that which canvassed the candi. lacy of Mr. Tilden in 1875, while the most exciting Was the republican state convention of last year, Whose ticket met such a Waterioo In the follow: ing November. ‘This year, while nent men in parties have been here. there bas been more quiet talk, as to the possibilities and proba- bilities of "84, than of any scheming In the inter- ests of candidates. Mr. Hendricks’ presence gave rise naturally to & good deal of talk al “the old ticket.” “Not a few believed that it could De renominated and,I was about to say, “ree elected.” Mr. Tiiden’s physical condition seemed to be the only doubt in the minds of his friends, If it was as Vigorous as had been ued they’ glatmed that he ougnt o be pat in the eld again, Mr. Hendricks, while declining to give his views, 80 far as he was personally concerned, saw no ob Jection to the renomination of Mr. Tilden, provi- Ged, of course, that he was mentally and physi cally as strong’as in 1876. As for Mr. Hendricks, himself, he red to be in very fair health, though hot quite so robust_as before his late iL neas, but he docs not appear to be growing old. He lett here afew days ayo, and will take some Part in the fall campaign in the west. Tt 1s quite evident that, despite the claims of Mr. ‘Tilden's New York friends, the old ticket has lit Ue or no support throughout the country. The enthusiasm which the south gave It four years at the Cincinnati convention has completely ied out in that section, A prominent governor of One of the largest southern states told me that if the Ucket of 76 was nominated it would hardly be Voted for; that, in fact, such @ probability was Tarely mentioned. Since this conversation o0- curred It has been ascertained beyond all doubt that Mr. Tilden will not consent to be a candidate, and that effectually ends the litue clatter about the “old ticket.” In a ral way the names of Gen. Butler, Gov. Cleveland, ex-Senator McDon- ald, and Sen®tors Bayard and Pendleton have been discussed, but no two democrats seem to agree on elther one as likely to securethe nomination. Gov. Cleveland’s record has been excelient, but It does Please the politicians of his own party, and It Would be Impossible, it 18 said, for him to secure full delegation from New York tn the national convention. The same may be sald of Gov. Pattl- son, of Pennsylvania. As for Judge Hoadly, of Ohio, who has been named among the possibili- ties of a presidential nomination, his prospects are dazed by his almost ceriain defeat for gover- nor of that state. The triumph of the republicans Uhis fall in Ohio ts conceded by most everybody, at Jeast on the gubernatorial struggle, and probal in the legislature, which will give them a U. Senator in place of Mr. Pendleton. The old-time democrats have never regarted the nomination of Hoadly as a strong one, and since the disaffection broke out in Hamilton county they have lookea upon defeat as-almost inevitable. The Indiana candidates do not meet with much commendation. Ex-Senator McDonald may be strong in his own state, but he ts quite unknown in the east. His record in the Senate was a spirit less one, and his candidacy has grown wholly out Of his possible ability to carry bis state. The eastern democrats say that they are satisfied with their experience tn that respect with the run that Mr. English made in °80, Mr. Hendricks could, it ig_belleved, carry Indiana, even with Gen, Gresham second on the republican ticket, but there 1s no probability of his belng put before the convention by the delegation from his own and he labors generally under the grea’ disadvan- tage of having been on the “old ticket.” The Uttle breeze Which has been raised by the New York Sun in favor of Judge Holman, of Indiana, is not likely to fing its way Into a national conven> on. It 1 doubtrul, Indlanians say, if he could secure hisown state delegation. Judge Holman has made a fair record in Congress in opposiag: ‘some jobs, Dut otherwise it is regarded as an illiberal statesman. There is little or no doubt that the democratic State convention which meets at Buffalo the week after next will be a harmonious one. There was, a8 you may remember, a good deal of bitterness developed at the meeting of the state committee here because the home of Gov. Cleveland had been selected and Tammany excluded from representa- tion by the committee; but itis very well undere stood that the convention will admit Tammany and all other factions to the floor of the conven- Uon, if not to representation, aud thus give una state ticket a united support, Mr. Manning, the chairman of the democratle state committee, isan intelligent and effective organizer, and has re- solved that the state organization shall be made perfect in ample time for the great struggle of next year.

There is a great deal of talk favorable to President Arthur, and ifthe republican party were reunited and harmonious in his own state the prospect for United delegation In his behalf would be very Tair, But as things now are it is out ot the question, though everything may be made all right berore the convention meets next year.

Such a breach as that 1s nob healed in aday. Of the other names mentioned Senator Edimunds, Gen. Sherman and Just ler are most discussed. The trie two are positive in say y id not ermit their names to go before the convention; ut IT nominated neither would decline to accept the honor or the ofice, if elected. Gen. Shermai fared in Washincton that after his’ retirement as general of the army he wanted to spehd the rest of his dys in peace and quiet. Justice Miller, too, It 15 said by his dst — to continue on the bench of the Suprema urt. THE SPEAKERSHIP. ‘Two of the candidates for tue Speakership of the next House have been here this season.
