But, at the same time, this speoch of the Postmaster is of great signif cance. It was prepared in the city of Washington, and elaborately written ovt there, The manuscript was sub.ceted to the criticism of others, and interlined in sother ink by another hand before the schoolboy peaker was allowed to leave with his lesson well conned to bis pocket, “A Cabinet oflicer, he goes express to the | capital of New Hampshire, makes his speech, and, with- Out waiting bo dine, expresses himself back to Washington, while if Concord be persoually superinteads its printing and mails slips to Boston and New York.

Jt has a signiticance as the action of the gov- erument, a8 the programme of the future as the great etiore of the administration, to perpetuate its power. Now, I, for one, have n ion to tho Presidency of Abraham Lincoln for four or eight years loger, I told him myseli, aud I believed it tben, and I be- lieve it uwow—i meaut it then aud I mean ib now—that the man who would bonestly pnt his right hand to the plough Of that proclaination, and execute it, this people would notaliow to quit the helm while that experiment was trying. (Appiause.) Whoever starts the great experi- ment of emancipation, and honestly davotes hia energies to making it « fact, deserves to hold the holm of the goverpment until that experiment 18 Gnished. But this programme is a dillerent one, The meaning of this speech, of whitch 1 want to read to you a few extracts, is this. In the future, there are to be two cusdidates. But-* ler is ty be one, somothing like Seymour, aud McClellan is to be the o Radicausm 1s one point; peace demoora- cy is the ow Republicanism, specifically, has sun be- Jow any poms that plummet ever sounded—(applauso)— and in the future @ radical man and a peace democrat aro to bear up rival banners. ‘This speech of the lostrnaster eneral is Abrabam Lincoin’s effort to run between the parties—a compromise candidate. Again, 1 have QR bjection to that—mark you! 1 have so sublime & contempt (vr the level of” Washington office that I aim williug the very men who hold them sball hold them in perpetuity—themselves and thew heirs and asses forever—(iaughter)—provided that in thoswofices they will honestly do the work 0: the poopie and tho age. Bat this speech is the bid of a hybrid politigian, bora betwixt the upper miulstoue of the North und the lower nuiligtone of the South, pandering to the prejudices of the worst obstacles to the war, in order Uhat he may continue to {eed at the public crib.” What is it? 1 will tell vou, It is an attempt to evade the proclamation without saying so.. [5 18 a clumay attempt to do what was so adroitly done by Chief Justice Tuncy when he made the Dred Seott decision; an attempt to smother and crush tho opiuion of Attorney General Raves that a negro is « citizen. un were forbidden ever }lt is au attempt to foist the Dred Scott decision upon the proclamation of January 1. The tone of tho speech is this:—!'he negro is inferior to us. He must fight for us; he woust work for ug, When he bas done it, there is no place (or him in the country. He mast fight to make the bation safe; he must work to make it rich, When he has dove’ so we kick him off the plattorm. Says the Postmaster Generul,@ aiter some talk of Calhouv, in whigh he does me the houor to mingle me up— The negro will enlist iu the war.’’ ‘Thea he is to make the public works, canals (rom New Orleans to the tive great lakes. When it 1s done—what? He is to furnish the hatter, build the gallows, ana then han, him- self on it, He 18 tosave the country, he is to enrich the country, and then he 1s to leave the country. Aud whois it that asks this of hun? Why, a race that Mr. Blair calls “the domimant and demiveeriug raco’’—that 18, the gov- erning race. A governing race that ¢annot govern: a su- perior raco that cannot fight; a brain race that cannot work, They ask the negro to fight, they ask the negro to work, proclaiming beforeband that there is no be!p for him, no place for him here. An Koglish poer ohce accopt- ed the offer of a plebeian’s carriage to ride home om o rainy day. As he stopped and abut the door after him ho looked out of the window and said, ‘But, pray, bow will you get home, sir?” (Laughter.) This Cabinet, driven to the wail, acknowledging that have-no heip but in the black man’s right |, Summoning the negro in the Carolinas and Souchweat uphvld the banner, sends its hybrid postmaster to tell the people of Concord that the constitution is so framed thero 1s no place for the black man on the continent. If that ia a white man, God de- tend me from being white! (Loud applause.) Do you awoept that representative of tho racet (No, no.) And Yet, this is the President's bid for the next nomination. That is the which is marshmi behind him the Border States, hal€ awake, understanding fifty per cent of the nineteenth century, and for rest dead and buried in the sixteenth, That is the bid for the peace democrats, who want to et rid of the negro any way. Yhat is the bid for tho half-awake republicans, who would be glad of any issue out of this strife. That is the bid. Now let me read you a letter. Remember, the Cabinet, at Concord, in ‘the month of June, 1863, says to the worid;—We cannot exist unless the black race fights for us; the country wont be rich unless it works for us.”” When the be nfs 3 and the working are over, this Cabinet, that canuot stand on its own continent, tumbles over in the attempt to kick jts defenders off. Yow let me read you aiettor. It was written by a man who left Boston a Hunker democrat, and went down to the South- west, to Port Hudson and Vicksburg. He writes to me, who nover beard of nim, and whom he never knew, because his Beart wanted to- whom to pour out its fulness:—‘As an ‘abolitionist. you never had my sympathy—I thought you rather overdid the thing. I came to department omivently :con- servative.’ Since came I have travelled hundreds of miles, and can only sey the truth has not been halt told. A quire of paper would not hold all I have to tell you of the institutions for which the Southera States are avow- edly in arms today. 1 say avowedly. ‘he thing resolves itself down very fipe. Weask a captured rebel, ‘What are you fighting ‘uur rights.’ ‘What are your rights?” ‘Niggers.’ the advance was made upon Vort Hudson a negro brigade waa under the command of Gen.

No matter what the feoling once was, the Northern soldiery are to-day proud of their colored al- lics, There bad once been much iil blood moni- fested on account ot a colored regiment (First Louisiana Native Guard) being managed by colored officers of the line. When the test came they silenced opposition by surpassing their white brothren in the almost reckless- ness of their bravery. The blacks have known the day of their redemption was coming. The Yankee name was used to terrify them, but there was a deeper instinct which told them of coming freedom. Oh, thrust tho truth down the throats of the weak ones of the North, that though they fail in sustaining the Union, there will bean army here which will be armod with Union mous. kote and a deep-seated faith in the justice of their cause and the power of God.

I entreat you when you talk t Beston remember the brave, educated Callioux _ who boast of the blackest skin, falling with bis face to the foe in advance ot his company. Remember young Sergeant Plen- cencieo Anselmo, who hugged the stars and stripes to his beart as he fell, starching the white stars and suffusing the stripes with his blood; and those six charges—where they were mowed down like grain—all for acountry which bas sinned against them so much. Thrill the whites with shame if youcan.”’ That ix the Dlick of the Southwest; and this (nolding up Blair's speech) 1s the huckstering politician of the Cabinet, who says there is Mo place on the continent for such. (Pro- jonged cheering.) General Butler said to me: “1 had 4,000 blacks; they saved me New Orleans."" Ahd this Cabinet proposes to colonize them! Colonize them! You micht as wetl, when the thief enters your front door, colonize your revolver (Langbter.) Colonize them! That Crbinet would have been fugitives to the Empire State of New York t-day, but fur the blacks who stand bebied hem. gNow, what I want to say ia this. Mr. Blair says the avthor of the Declaration of Independence and his associates, declared ejual rights impracticable ina sooiety constituted of different races. 1% is a very grave cbarge | am ‘about to make, but I say—remombering Jadgs y's bad law and ‘aire history in the Dred Scott case distinctly, thet that sentevce is the most stupendous lie of the century. (Applauee.) Let no man hereafter charge the Cabinet at Washington with want of courage The man who made that speech is the boidost Har on the continent. (Laughter and loud applause.) Jefferson—the author of the Declaration of Indopen. devco—the greatest words he ever wrote word, that ‘ all meu are crgated equal.” The greatest stavute he ever drew was the ordinance of 1787, which secured liberty to all races northwest of the Uhio, The greatest act bis hie—ieng before coloulzation was dreemed of—was his eflort & emancipate everywhere in Virginia, and le per. sisted with It so long that they did not dare to hold a State Coovention to revise the constitution nti! after he wasdead. That is the man who Mr. Blair says deciared it to be impracticable for different races to live wogeiher on equa! terms op the same continent! A few chance word. of the desponding close of Jefferson's lite are never to be measured against the consistent and contmued ae- tion of bis whole vigorous life. But Mr. Blair says “tho author of the Declaration and his asso dete ciates."” Who were awsoviatce? ‘The fonnders of the great States of yivania, New Fngland, and Now York, the mother States of Whe continent. Imprae- tirable for Facee to live together!

Now, fricuds, you may it waste of powder to fire at nothing—the Pootinasier Gene- ral. But no, Negroppobia ig the worst enemy this Union faces to-day. When that man, | was*going to say, in order to pander to his bem peandionatniay, 8 See man, founded his hopes of success on ing that string; but that if giving it too dignified a motive. Ignorant as the Cabinet io, it is not 50 tof the nineteenth century as not to know that the basis of that speech false in history and false in philosophy, too, Prajudi against the negro ig a high-minded and honorable motive compared with the motive that was father of that speech— @ base pandering to a prejudice which he did not share—‘ im order to secure himself four more years of office. was motive. Negrophobia is a cord which hus a great strength in the bosom of the country. Let ine dwell upon it 4 moment. It,is foolish and useless with the slightest claim to the name of statesman, Can ever Dame the word “colonization.” That, no doubt, is true. But it is not because they believe in it that these men never mention it. It is because they know that in the unthinking masses they shall find a chord to work on to serve a base purpose. [¢ is, therefore, to that mass that we should address comments on a speech like this. For this nation to dig down the Alleghanies and fill them up again would be a wise avd thrifty use of means com- pared with coleuizing four millious of workmen, But Ubat is not the whoie truth, either. There vever was in the history of the world such a thing done. Spain ex- pelled tbe Moors after four centuries of battle. This brainless Cabinet canuot defend its own co! without the help of the blacks; of cburse, therefore, they are in no condition to prate of expelling them by ‘battle. The Spanish precedent, therefore, doos not serve. France expelied half a million of uenots by starvation, persecution and the gitfvet. If this hybrid. Cabinet wanted or dared to do that, they are not capable. Evgiand drove two millions of Irish from the shelter of ber flag by famine and cruel laws, ‘hig nation does not propose, and if it were possible to propose such a plan, it could not execute it. The only method of colonization left is to devote the wealth of the nation to waking itself bankrupt. What ia the creed of Abraham Lincoin 1 cannot teil. Borer Blair is too welt in- formed to betieve in colonization, Hondst colouizationists have bech—but: not since’ 1561 has there been any well informed man so deluded as those whom the Probate Court lets walk our streets. is speech, therefore, is not an honest expression of opinion, but it is @ base pan- dering to the lowest tier of ignort to defeat the very experument (bat Providence is ‘iug to refine out in this furnuce of war the hatred between races. Mr, Blair says, ina lie which is second only in magnitude to that which T have read, that the constitutions of these States fre based on the idea of the country belonging to the white race. { defy him to show a line, or a word, or a syllable, orachmma, er # lie, even, in the past, that asserts any such thing. This country has n+ value, except as the home 01 all races, That is the idea underlyiug all our history This speech Says, races can never lie down together. Why, the whole North, with nineteen millions of tongues, says, ‘‘balse!’? From the Atlantic to the very bor- ders of the Pacific, what are we? Irish and Koglish, with their hands on eaca other's throat at home, serving under the same banner today, French and English, hating each other like wild beasts for four hundred years, sery under the saine banner lo-day. Germans, Scotch, Welsh, l'revch, Spaniard, Itahan—hounds, hunting each other on the other sido the water for five hundred years— their cbildven are at the samo schools, worshipping under the same altars. fighting uader the same flag, dying for the same idea, mingling thoir biood in the same chan ‘The whole North cries. out on the libeiler of the C! tanity aud civilization of the nineteouth century who calls himself a republican and talks of “lberty, equality and fraternity.” (Prolonged and enthusiasiic applause.) Now J am going’to say something that I kuow will make the New Yor« 1188ALD use ite smail capitals and notes of admiration—(laughter)—and yet no weil informed map this side of China but believes it in the very core of his heart. That is, “amalgamation”’—a word that the North- ern apologist for slavery has always used so glibly, but which you never heard}from a Southerner—umalgamation! Remember this, the youngest of you: thaton the 4th day of July, 1863, you heard a man say, that in the light of all history, in virtue of every page he ever read, he igumationist to tho utmost extent. (Applause.) I have no hope for the future, as this country has no past aod Europe hag no past, but in that sublime ig of races, which is God’s own method of civilizing and ele- vating the world. (loud applause.) Wher, therefore, Montgomery Blair, in this speech, libels the “ mation of races, and slanders the founders of the oousti- tution, he does what every well iuiormed man knows that he cannot be ignorant cuough really to believo, and what every patriot knows was the basest work thst a public man could do in this crisis of our national struggle. Ged, by the events of his providence, is crushing out the hatred of race which has crippled this country until to day. This speech is the effort of the administration to float into office on a wicked prejudice the nation’s worst foe, and it aims to keop that’ prejudice alive in order to make base use of it. @ debauched heir who kills his father the sooner to enjoy his estate is a meek eyed and lofty saint compared with an administration which Calis up the negro to save it, and when saved and rich, instead of mercifully “killmg its benefac- tor, sends kim to penniless and desert exile, while the “dominant and domineering’ (God save the mark!) race riots on the spoils # bad neither brains, industry nor courage to win,” Know all men that this ‘meanest of all ingrates was neither Northerner ucr Southerner, but born in some nameless region with neither tbe honest virtnes nor tho decent fanits of either. 1861 and 1862 saw this war lifted to the august level of a revolution: that speech sinks it to the deadiy missma of the level Of politics If it were possible for mau to defeat God, in that ‘the poison, My warning, therefore, is hundred Linc and speaking by the to that prejudice, to ° some ignorance, to all the worst euemies of the countey, 1s not to be trasted @ Jeader. General Butior said to me a fortnight ago—and this is the Ce bea. to treagon—Butler said to me, ‘*! am no negro . as you are, but before I ask a po to fight for me, by the living Giod, he sball have his rights!” (Pro- longed applause.) ’ | acknowledge that is a white man, and this speech—the meanest kind of something else. If this is republicanism, let us eee aee for the advent of democracy. There can be nothing worse. In this level of politics there is no need of extra exertion. The Conways in England cannot burt us; the rebels will listen to nothing except cannon balls; the politicians of ‘the Cabinet can hurt us—they are only chips om the current of Ni the only danger is, we should mistake them for them for leaders. Remember that the peopie rule. Remember that the people have a right to the truth. All you know tell. Scatter the facts. Eaabie the people to govern, to check on the Cabinet. The next ear is, as I believe, to be the climax of.this sti le jot that we are to conquer yet: a louger battle than that is before us; but the next year is to decide whether this ig to remain a revolution, gallautiy fought out on the bat- tle field, or whether there shall be an effort made by the cowards and traitors of the North to drag us into the maelstrom of politics. There are man who would stretch traitor hands over two hundred thousand patriot graves ‘and betray the present. Watch them! Not (or the sake of personal defeat, but for the triumph of the idea. Judge ‘Taney, decreed that the negro had no piaco dh this con- tinent. Attorney ground that doctrine to powder in bis well known opinion. Lincoln repudiated it io the face of the world, when the nation's peril demand- ed the aid of all her sons. Hold him to it. His pledge has been sealed in the noble biood of hundreds of black herovs in the Carolinas and tho Southwest. Judge Blair says that no enfragchised race can live on terms of equality in the same country with itvold masters. False. The history of Kurope for four centuries, and of the West Indies for thirty years disproves it. The history of ali tho old States of the North and the tendency of all the new ones disprove it. Judge Blair says that our fathers intended this as the home of the white man.

VALLANDIQHAM. The Reply of the President to the Ap- plication of the Ohio Committee for the Release of Vailandigham, Wastmcrtoy, D. © , June 29, 1863. Gueriamay:—The resolutions of the Obio Demoeratic State Convention, which you present mo, together with your introductory agd closing remarks, being in position fod argumen! mainly the @ame as the Fosolutions of the demogratic meeting at Albany, New York, | refer you to my response to the latter as meeting most of the points in the former. This response you evidently used in ing your remarks, and J desire no more than hak it be used with accuracy. In a single reading of your remarks, Lonly di-covs one imaccuracy in matter which I | pose you took Trom that paper. It is where you | ©The undersigned are ubxble to agreo with you in the opinion you bave expreseed that the constitution te diffe: rent in time of insurrection or Invasion from what it i fn tine of peace smd pablic secarity.”* | A recurrenee to the paper will show you that I have | not expressed the opinnion you suppose. [expressed the | opinion that the constitution fe ditierent in ity a | ' voice of his agent, ication in casos of rebellion or tnvaaion, involviug the pablic eafoty from what it is in times of profound and pabiie security; and this opinion | adbore to, simply be Canse by the constitution itself, things may be done in the one caso whiet may not be done in the othor. Tdisiiko to waste aword on a mercly personal point, but I must ary Assure you that you will find yourselves at fanit should you ever seek for evidence to iu us to say—a trite truth though it be—that no man, | the guarantees made available in corroborative of this view is the fact that Mr, Vallandigham, in the very cage in question, under. the advice of able lawyers, saw not where else to go but to tho habeas corpua. But by the constitution the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus itself may be suspended when in cases of rebellion and invasion the public safety may require it. You ask in substance whether I really claim tnat I may override al the guaranteed rights of individuals on the plea of conserving the public salety—when 1 may choose to say the era safety requires it, ‘Thie question, di. vested of the phraseology calculated to represent me as struggling for an arbitrary persomal prerogative, iseeither simply a question who shall decide, or an affirmation that nobody shail decide, what the public safety does require in cases of repellion or invasion, The constitution con- templates the question ag likely to occur for decision, but it does not expressly declare who ig to decide it. By necessary implication, when rebellion or favasion comes, the decision is to be made, from time to time; and I think the man whom, for the time, the people have, under the constitution, made the Commander in-Chief of their army and pavy, is (he man who holds the powerand bears the responsibility of making it, If he uses the power justly, the same people will probably justify him; if he abuses it, ho is in their hands, to be dealt with by allthe modes they bave reserved to themselves in the constitution, ‘The easnestuess with which you insist that persons can only in times of rebellion be lawfully dealt with, sin ac- cordance with the rules for criminal trials fed papien ments in times of peace, induces me to add a word to what {said on that point in the Albany response. You claim that men may, if they choose, embarrass those whose duty it is to combat a giant rebellion and then be deait with only in turn ag if wore norebellion. .The constitution itself rejects this view. The military arrests and detentions which have been made, including those of Mr, Vallandignam, which are not different in principle from the other, have been for prevention, and not for punishment—ag injunctions to stay injury—as proceed- ings to keep the ind hence, like proceedings in such cages and for like reagons, they haye not been ac- companied with indictments, or trials by jurtes, nor, ina ie cuse, by any punishment whatever beyond what is purely inciiental to the prevention. The original sen- tence of imprisonment in Mr. Vallandigham’s case was to prevent injury to the military service only, and the modi- fication of it was made as a less. disagreeable mode to him of securing the same prevention. Tam unable to perceive an insult to Ohio in the case of Mr. Vallandigham, Quite surely notinng of this sort was or is intended. {wos wholly unaware that Mr. Valino- digham was, at the time of kis arrest, candidate fpr the democratic nomination for Governor, until 60 informed by your reading to me the resolutions of the convention. Jam grateful to the state of Ohio for many things, espe- cially for the brave soldiers and officers she has given in the present national trial for the armies of the Union, You claim, ag I understand, that according to pte | position ig the Albany response, Mr. Vallandigham should be releas@l, and this because, as you claim, he has not damaged the military service by discouraging enlist- ments, encouraging desertions, or otherwise, and that if he had, he should-have been turved over to the civil au- thorities under the recent acts of Congress. 1 certainly do not know that Mr. Vailandigham has specifically and by direct language, adviacd against enlistments and in favor of desertion and resistance to draftivg. We all know that combinutivns, armed in some instances, to resist the arrest ot deserters, began sevoral months ago; that more receotly the like has appeared in resistance to the enrolment preparatory to a dratt; and that quite a number of assassinations have occurred from the same animus. These had to be met by military force, and this agam has led to bloodshed and death. And gow, under a sense of responsibility more weighty and enduring than any which is merely official I solemnly declare my belief that this hindrance of the military, in- cluding maiming and murder, is due to the course in which Mr. Vallandigbam has been engaged, in a greater degree,than to any other cause; and is due to him person. ally in a greater degree than to any other one man, ‘These things have been notorious, known to all, and of course known to Mr. Vallandigham. Porhaps I would.not be wrong to ray oe criginated with his especiai friends and adherents. With perfect knowledge of thom he has frequently, if not constantly, made speeches in Con- grees and before popular ‘assemblies; and if it can that, with those things staring him in the face, he has ever uttered « word of rebuke or counsel against them, it will be a fact greatly in his favor with mo, and one of which, ag yot, I am totally ignorant, When it is known that the whole burden of bis speeches: has been to stir up men against the prosecation of tho war, and that in the midst of resistance to it he bas rot been known io any iustance to counsel against such id- sistance, it Is next to impossible to repel tho inte ence that he has counseled directly in favor of it. With all this before their eves. (he Convention you represent have nominated Mr. Val‘andigham for Governor of Obio; and I mp bey and you Lavedeclared the purpose to sustain the Nations! | nion by all constitutional means, But of course they and you, in common, reserve to ives to decide what are constitutional means, and, unlike the Albany meoting, you omit to state or intimate that in your opinion an army is 4 constitutional. meang of saving the Union against a rebellion, or qven to {intimate that you are consciots of an existing rebellion being in progress with the avowed object of destroying that very Union. At tho same time your nominee for governor, in whose behalf you appeal, is known to you and to the world to re Against the use of an army to suppress the rebellion. Your own attitude, thereforé, cacourages desertion, re- sistance to the draft and tho like, becouse it teaches ‘those who incline to desert and escape the ‘raft to believe it is your purpose to protect them, and to hope that you will become strong enough to do so. After @ persunal intercourse with you, gontlemen of the committee, I can- ‘not say | think you desire this efiect to follow your atti tudo; but I assure you that both friends and enemies af the Union look upon it in this light. It is « substantial ‘whjch vou would wi is- Te ts pel. duplicates of this lettor, of you may, if you choose, oudorse your names oe of and return it thus endorsed to me, with the \ing that those signing are theroby committed to the following propositions, and to e— 1, That there is now a rebellion in the Unitea States, the object and tendency of which is to destroy the na- tional Union; and that in your opinion an army and pavy are constitutional means for wate nk that rebellion. 2. that po one of you wilido anything which, in his own judgment, will tend to hinder the increase or favor the ), OF lessen the efficiency of the army or navy — engaged in tho effort to suppress that rebellion; and, 3. That each of you will, in his sphere, do ail he can to have the officers, soldiers and soamen of tho army and navy, while engaged in the effort to suppress the rebel- lion, Lewd fed, clad, and otherwise well provided and supported. And with the further understanding that upon recetv- ing the letter and names thus endorsed, I will cause them to be published, which publication shall be, within Itself, a revocation of the order in relation to Mr. Vallandigham, It will not escape observation that I consent to the ro- of Mr. Vallandigham upon terms not embracing any pledge trom him or from others, as to what he will or will not do. Ido this because he is not present to speak for himself, or to authorize others to speak for him; and bence, | ehall expect, that on returning, he would not put himself practically in antagonism with’ the position of his frieu But 1 do itchiely because I thereby pre vyailon other imfluentiai gentlemen of Ohio to 80 define their position as to be of immense value to the army— thus more than compensating for the consequences of any mistake in allowing Mr. Vallandigham to return, po that on the whole the public safety will not have suffered by it. Still, in regard to Mr. Vallandigham and all others; 1 must hereafter, as heretofore, do so much as tho public service may seem to require. Ihave the hover tobe respectiully yours, kc. A. LINCOLN.

To-day’s bank statement compares as follows with that of last week:— Werk end'g. Loans. bape * Oircul’n. 5 271202 6,004,177 150 330908 3... 174,237,384 38,802,826 6,998,914 168,642,825 so. $1,845,187 a uly 27...$176,682,521 June ¥ 103,517 This statement, like that of last week, shows an increase of means and a decrease of discounts. The loans have now been reduced five to six mil- lions within three weeks—a very sharp contraction indeed, and one which might have justified a much closer money market than we have had. In their present condition the banks are able to expand with some liberality, and will probably commence to this week. Within a few days many leading banks have been increasing their issuce of their paper, the silly panic which reigned some time since about the unconstitutionality of legal tender currency, and the probability that the city banks would be compelled to redeem their issues in coin, having entirely subsided. Gold opened this morning at 137%, rallied to 139%, fell back to 138%, sold in the afternoon at 139%, 139, 13814 and 138, and closed at five P.M. at 138 a 13834. A moderate business was done in exchange at 151 @ 152 for first class bankers’ bills. A heavier decline in gold was looked for, in view of the great importance of Meade’s victory over Lee; but we have probably only begun to feel the effect of this influence. The short interest in gold is quite large, and naturally operates to check the rapidity of the decline, As there is no export de- mand for gold, the present premium cannot be maintained if the defeat of the rebels proves so | thorough as to restore general confidence at home paid 7. Debt certificates ,the general im- Provement of government securities, and rose 24 per cent. Mercantile paper is in demand at 606 per cent, but continues to be very soarces A good deal of business was done in stocks this morning; but the course of prices was irregular. Stocks which were depregsed by the rebel raid naturally rebounded on the news of their retreat. Cumberland rose 3 per cent, Canton 1%, Read- ing 4, Pittsburg 134, Fort Wayne 134. There was some inquiry for Ohio and Mississippi cetificates, which fell from 42 to 30 mainly, on the“drcad of rebel invasion. Governments were very strong. Coupon sixes of 1881 sold at 107, which is equal to 110, and the 7.30 notes rose 144 per cent. The demand for these bonds comes chieflygrom abroad. The general railway share list was irregular. Hudson rose to 160, an advance of 3% per cent; Ilinois Central rose 1; but Cen- tral fell'144, Erie 1, Erie preferred 34, Southern old 134, guaranteed 1, Galena 1%. Toledo was 14% per cent better; the June earnings show an in- crease of 60 per cent—$100,085, against $66,600 last year. Harlem fell off 4 per cent, without any apparent cause. Pacific Mail was steady. There was an advance of 12% per cent in Missouri sixes, and Tennessees were likewise better. The movement in smiscellaneous shares appeared to be checked by the uncertainty of opera- tors as to the effect of victories on the market. As for some time past gold and stecks have worked independently of each other,and the latter have advanced or been mnin- tained on their earnings, and not ox any theory of the depreciation of the currency, it is probable that after the public has time for, reflection specula- tion in shares will be revived. At the one P, M. call there was no particular change in the market. Hudson rose to 16224; other shares were steady. At the second board Hudson sold at 170. The bears in this property are realizing pretty thoroughly the danger of selling dividend paying shares short. In other respects the market was tame, and gene- rally from 4% to % percent lower than in the morning. At the four P. M. call there was rather more disposition to buy the active shares.

The June earnings on the leading roads continue to show well. The following are the figures re- ceived :— Roads, June, "63. Hudson River. 202,392 Inc. 50,084 edo. 100,086 Inc. 33.

For reasons satisfac- tory tp the stockholders, it was decided not to suffer any more of the bonds to be converted into stock, and such decided opinions against a lease of the road at eight per cent per annum to the stock- holders were expressed that the parties applying for the lease did not press the point. The follow- ing statement of the income acceunt of the com- pany and of its liabilities was laid before the meeting:— ‘ Gross earnings for six months. » $837,507 Expenses of operation... $302,005 837,507 Net earnings for six months..... To $444,002 Paid interost on mortgages. including that on first mortgage, duo February 1, 1863... ...$175,000 Rent to Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chica- go Railroad Company....... 42,500 Surplus earnings for six months Land of operating road for six months were ~ tlt bonds, seven per cent intérest.$1,189,000 seven per cent interest. 1 bonds, six per cent int’t 1,131,500 Third mortgage bonds, Funded debt, mortgage * The money for the payment of the first bonds ig in the hands of Isaac Se; of them have been paid River line bonds........ Dividend bonds and scrip. Income bonds... Bills payable. ae Accrued interest on abov * River line certificates, due September 15, 1863. The company proposes to use the money thus shown to be on hand in extinguishing the varjous debts above last enumerated, and is, in effect, paying them off from day to-day. The company likewise proposes to anticipate the pay- ment of the September and November interest on the mortgage bonds. Whether this application of the funds of the company will be satisfactory to the stockholders remains to be seen. It is urged by Mr. Lane, who held most of the New York proxies, that in view of the rebel raid into Penn- sylvania, and the alarm prevailing at Pittsburg, it is wiser for the directors to await the old dividend ‘mour, Fsq., trustee, and most day of the company (October 1) before dividing. any of the moneys on hand. Whether this reason- ing will satisfy the stockholders, who have dis- pensed with income for many years, and who now learn that their property has earned money which they are not to receive, is an undetermined prob- lem. It is to be feared that the passage of a divi- dend which the directors admit has been earned will rather aggravate than soothe the angry fcelings that have been aroused by the past conduct of the Pittsburg directors. As a rule stockholders in this meridian are rather tired of seeing boards of direction disposing of surplus profits in indirect and unexpected ways, while they are deprived of the income which rightfully belongs to them. It is difficult for shareholders to divest themselves of the notion that these diversions of their funds are so contrived as to enure to the individual profit of the directors who authorize them. Whether the parties who en- trusted their proxies” to Mr. Lane, on the under- standing that he would see to it that no chicanery should stand between them and a dividend, will feel entirely satisfied with the manner in which he has discharged his trust, is @ question which we will not undertake to determine. Meanwhile the stockholders may feel pretty sure that the road is earning, and is going to earn, from 8 to 10 per cent annually on the stock, and that the only thing to be now taken care of is that the money finds its way into the hands of those who are entitled to it.
