The Court aise it him of the charge of “con- duet unbecoming an oiicer aud gentleman” under which ‘the specifications are lati, but conyict him, vem, of * conduct to the prejudice of good order and’ military dis- @pline” under which they are not laid. ‘The War Department is of opinion that these find- ‘Weges eniitled the accuser to an acquittal, aud are in offect, an acquittal, and therefore avoids and ana wentence.

Lut if they are alleged, aud are nega- | tived by the Court in their verdict, thou the inference | from th° fact fails, and the accused being acquitted of the Intention, is acquitted of the offence. That is certainly the Jegal cifect and meaning of auch finding. What other meaning wae in the guuind of the Court is a matter of | donbt, They find that the accused did not “know- | ingly” sign; meaning, provably, that be did not know | the certificate was false. Then did he sign it in | good faith, to the beat of his knowiedge and belief? or in | | | j is the woch ignorance and disregarit of what he certified as made the certificate an act of bad faith’ In that finding of the ‘ification, it sustaine’the charge.

A party on trial eannot be couwicied of an offence he is not charged with. Major Wyse was charged with ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a | gentleman;” a charge distinctly, expressly and | exclusively under the 83d article of war, ‘which prescribes the proper penalty of that offence. On Such dittinct charge a court martial murt acquit or convict of the offence charged. They cannot resort to the 4th article to evade the other articles of war, or to supply a | ebarge not on trial. It is the office of the charge as ds ‘tinct from the specitications of fact, to point out the legal ‘offence; to indicate the iaw viviated und the penalty in.- @urred. If the specifications may be applied by the Court to any other charge that may be framed mnder the varioas articles of war, then the charge stated is useless to the pro- Becution, and may be mischievous to the defence in mis Jeading it. A specification, moreover, must be appropriate to the charge. A falze certifleate is hot a mere neglect of cuty.

There is decidedly more ease in the money mar ketto-day. There is less inquiry for money, and more of it offering. We cannot, however, as yet, quote any change in rates; the brokers are quite willing to pay seven, and seven is still the mini- mum rate for the very choicest short acceptances, while undoubtedly first class business paper goes ateight. To-day’s ease is not generally regarded as the end of the stringency, however, but more as a reaction from yesterday's closeness. It is not believed that money can rule easy again until Con gress organizes, and the Sub-Treasury disburses half of the seven odd millions which now Jie idle in its vaults. The foreign exchange market works very irregn- larly, end bills are selling at all kinds of rates, The leading banking houses ask 1034 for 60 day sterling bills and 5.174.183 for francs; but some first class city bills have been sold to-day at 169] a 108 for sterling, and 5.21 for francs. Some houses which have received Sonthern bills to cover sight drafts have forced off the bills at anything they could get for them; we hear of sales of undoubted ills at 107}. This is obviously an extreme price— probably the lowest of the season. Telegraphic advices from the South state that they will sell no more bills atsuch rates. The mail for to-morrow's steamer is a heavy one. The domestic exchanges continue to work in the same direction—that is,in favor of the city. At Chicago, bills are quoted at 2] pemium; at New Orleans, the rate seems to fiuctuate between } a 3 discount. The following are the quotations of sight bills on New York at the cities mentioned, the rates being in all cases for the currency of the cities at which the bills are drawn. change to-day, but the prices were better. The sacrifice of stock securities to raise money seems to have been checked for a time. The market seemed weak, and even lower than it closed yes- terday, hut afterward rallied, advanced consider- ably, and closed firm. Central opened at 72), rose to and closed at 737 bid, aeainst 734 bid at the close yesterday. Panama was done at the open ag at 125}, but afterward advanced 3, and closed 64 bid, against 125] bid at the close yesterday.

There is come conversation in stock circles about } a curious transaction which is said to have lately taken place. Mr.A., an outsider, went to Moasrs. B. & C., brokers, and desired them to sell, for his accowut, 500 shares of New York Central stock which he held, and to take them back on buyer's option, sixty days. They did so, paid him the money for his cash stock, and delivered him the usual advice of purchase of 000 sisres on time for his acconnt “from Messrs. D. E. & Co.” Bhe sixty days speci” fied in the contract elapsed; Mr. A., happening to pass the office of Messrs. D. F. & Co. stoppedin, casually remarking to the bookkeeper—“You de- liver 600 shares of Central to-day to Messrs. B. & C., don't you?” The bookkeeper looked astonish- ed, consulted his books, and replied very decidedly that he knew of no such transaction. Furthor in- quiry on the part of A. led to still more emphatic assurances by the bookkeeper that no sach trans- action as the alleged sale of 500 shares Central from D. E. & Co. to B.& C. had ever been made. Upon this, A., who was not sorry to get rid of a contract on which he would have Jost beavily, stepped over to the office of his friends B. & C., and coolly informed them that he had discovered that their advice to him ofa purchase for his account from D. E. & Co. was false and frandulent, and that he would not be bound by it. The case will probably lead to some investiga tions.

The statement required of foreign companies is lees complete and exact- ing than that demanded by the New York statute, and ibe Insurance Commissioner is only authorized to refase @ license to the agent of any company whose net assets ure under $100,000. For a life company still less ia required. Rerides these two features of the law thore is only one other, and that bas been everywhere adopted in nearly every State in the Union. This is a provisidn that the company may be sved in Georgia; and nothing is more just and reasonable than tis, and nothing more harmieas. No good and sound company would hesitate for a single Moment to comply'with the law. We need your New York companies here, and we expect to have them. AN INSURANCE AGENT.
