At the iirst regular board there was a brisk demand for stocks generally, and Mariposa and Northwestern common particularly. The sales of the latter on the call aggregated 8,995 shares, the stock losing % higher than at the second board yesterday, ‘This activily is based upon the large earnings of the road coupled with the favorable character of the recent report of the company. The earnings are at a rate which would Justify the payment of seven per cent on the entire capi- tal stock, as indicated by the figures of the report; but notwithstanding it is semi-officially rumored that the pext dividend on the preferred stock will be passed, in order that the surplus earnings may be applied to the purchase of new roiling stock. This will bring the common stock more on a par with the proferred, and this effect is mow being anticipated, one percent having been offered to-day for the privilege of ex- changing the preferred for the common stock before the Ast of January next, Mariposa closed \ higher, with sales of 2,600 shares; Cleveland and Pittsburg 3 (sales 3,700 'shares), Northwestern preferred 34 (rales 1,200), Rock Island 3¢ (sales 400), Fort Wayne % (sales 1,480), Cumberland 4, Canton % (sales 1,700), Erie, Michigan Southern and Prairie du Chien were unchanged, Government securities continued to improve.

The present indications favor greater ease than ‘we bave latterly experfenced during the remainder of the year, excepting just at the close, when accounts are ‘being balanced. This will impart a strong impulse to Speoulation for a rise, the more especially as it is under- atood that the Secretary of the Treasury will make a very conservative report to Congress, recommending nothing calculated to interrupt the general prosperity of the country or derange the course of the moncy market. That the “bull” operators are not slow to Profit by monetary ease was apparent in the action of the stock market to-day, and will probably be still. more 80 during the remainder of the month. The report which was telegraphed to one of tho after- feon papers relative to a further funding of interest bearing notes is without foundation in fact, Mr. MeCul- Joch will not interfere with the currency beyond meeting the five percent notes which mature on ‘the Ast of Devember to the amount of about eighteen mil- \ Hons, pending the consideration of the financial question by Congress, In exchange for these he will issue com- + pound interest notes, certificates of temporary deposit \ and plain logal tenders, to be withdrawn trom the bal- ance in the Treasury @md Sfb-Treasuries.

The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company has ® claim against tho Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad Company amounting to $1,547,015, an action to recover which was brought before the Superior Court in Cincin- ‘nati on the 10th inst, The demand is made for damages suffered and to be suffered by the rst named corporation in consequence of the breaking of the contract on the part of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati road existing be- tween the two compani s, according to which the latter ‘was privileged to use the track of the former from Cin- cinnati to Lawrenceburg. The agreoment in substance was that the Indianapolis and Cinelnnati Company bound itself, for the privilege of using the Ohio and Mississippi road between Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati, to pay over to the latter company all the earnings betweon the two places and never to carry any St. Louls freight. The contract was for thirty years. The defence will not deny having broken the agreo- mont, but they claim that the conditions wore onerous and imposed upon them when thoy wore unable to do better; also that the contract fostered a monopoly and was opposed to the public good, and therefore void in law. The claim of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company fs regarded as the same in principle as the effort of tho Westera Union Telegraph Company to the exclusive use of cortain railroad lines for telegraphic Purposes, which was recently decided against them -by the United States Circuit Court in Cincinnat!, The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad Company, as soon as they could better their cond'tion by the purchase of the Whitewater Canal, broke their contract, and aban- doned the track of the Ohio and Mississippi road, relying on the principle of the public good being paramount for their vindication. The earnings of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad during tho first laps, Soap amounted to $26,535, which showgan in over the receipts for the same time in 1864 of $5,793. The Great Western Railroad of Canada earned during the week ending November 10, $52,648. Increase over the receipts for the same time Inst year, $30,638. The report of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad Company gives the gross earnings for the past year at $124,713, and the expenses at $484,255, showing an excess of expenditures of $59,530. The item for the rebuilding of bridges was $155,120, against $26,402 for the previous year.

An Crieans (N. ¥.) paper says that two men, nam d William Perry and Goorge Ward, both residents of this State, recently went to Clyde, Sandusky county, Ohio, and estublished # bogus bank. Afler the institution was iuirly in operation a number of confederates, res ding chiefly in Orleans county, in this State, made their ap- pearance, in groat want of discounts, They drew their nyies fur various sums—the whole not worth a cent— and took frum the bank, instead of ourrency, drafts on the Fourth National Bank of New York. With these neatly lithographed drafts the confederates started for Canuda, and at a time agreed upon they appeared at bunks in Toronto, Hamilton, London, St. Cathe- rines, &c., and sold these worthless drafis at the usual discount for Canada funds. In this way sixty thousand dollars was obtained before the worthless nature of the drafts was discovered, aud the rogues had got safely back to the American side. Some of the victimized Canadian bankers have been in Orleans county looking a'ter their customers, but with- out success, a the villains refuse to pay back « dollar, There is no remedy for the sufferers, They cannot be | given up to the Canadian authorities, as the Ashburton treaty docs not reach this case. ‘Indecd, it was d cided, in this Siate when’the Corn Exchange ewindlers residing here were demanded by the Governor of Illinvis that they could not be given up, Crimivals that cannot ve ciaimed by one State of another will hardly be surron- dered to a foreign government for punishment, In still auoihor respect this Orl ans county swindle bears a paailel to the Corn Exchange operation, One of the rogues has invested lis proceeds in real e+tate and re- juses to divide with his associate a8 ho pledged himself to do when the scheme was cencocted.

Our Tallahassee Correspondence. Tavuamassem, Fla, Oct. 30, 1865. GENERAL HOWARD'S SPEECH TO THE PREEDMEN. Major Gencral 0. 0, Howard, Commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees, Fresdwen and Abandoued Lands, addressed @ meeting of freedmon at the colored Metho- dist church in this place this afternoon, and in the even- ing, upon an invitation of a committee of citizens, ad- dr.ssed tho Convention and citizens in the Representa- tive Hall, His purpose in addressing the freedmen was to explain to them their duties in the new position in which they found thomselves piaced by the fortunes of war, aud to disabuse their minds of the widespread notion that the lands of thoir former owners were to be divided among them at the coming Christinas, x He told them that they had now received their free- dom, which could never be taken from them, and that it rested w.th them whether it would prove a blessing to them or otherwise. If they went to work and strove earnestly to gain a liveliood, and to improve them- selves and educate their children, they might becomo good cit zons and re-pected in the community ; but, on the other hand, if they left their homes fin the country to crowd together in the large towns and cities, spending their time in idieness and dissipation, they would be rapidly decimated by disease and be hated and despisod by all good citizens, He advised the making of yearly contracts either with their former masters or with other parties on the best terms they could, and urgently im- pressed upon them the necessity and duty of fulfilling ther contracts to the letter, evea if they should find they had made a hard bargain. He toid them the President of the United States was their frieud, and woula protect them in their rights, He told viem he had heard many complaints against them for insulence to the witite poo- plo, ana hoped they were not true; that as freedmen they should, in their beavior to the white people, be even more polte than they were as slaves, aud show that they were worthy of being tree. He tied to im- ) jieks Upon thom that freedom did aot mean idicne:s aud , but that it meant work, hard. work, and that they \should be wiliiuz and giad to do this’ for the benuuit ‘whick would accrue to their children. His speech was Lstencd to with much attention and Ynterost, aud wili doubiless have a very berelicial eflect upon the freedmen in this port of Florida, MIs SPENCH Te ‘TIL CONVE TION, At seven o'clock in the evening a large number of citizens and inca.bers of the Convent on tet the General in the huil of the House of Representatives, where he addressed them furan hour, As he is sent out expressly by tho President to resiore the contiscaced lauds to their former owpers he was lstened to with aitention. 00K Sclabion to express ty tue Convention the feting of President and bis | abinct in regard to giving frecdmen ¢ right of testimony aud sutts in courts of Jaw, and urged it upon them to confer this ri.lt upon them be- fore they adjourned. He said the Presidcut considored itaright which must be yd vpon them. He ex- pla ned the object of Uhi hich the War Depart- mout had sent hiss to execute as mieuded to relieve the Diacks in passing frum atys om of sinvery Lo one of free- dom, it waa Intended ge a pledge that phe faith of the nation made Hi Ye Dieta th rh proclamation, and endorsed by Congress, sould be kept; that is, that the persons set free by the war suould bo provided for and protected in their freedom. He explained tho manner in Which he took up the inatter committed to him at Washington, having in vow {le interests of all pariies, whic and black, The questions Of most importance concerned labor, and theso he endeavored to adjust by a system of contracts, b na fide agreements, entored into b-tween te property holders and the freedmen, He recognized the m tual dependence of the owners of capital and the laborers, complete and earnestly advocated mans of re contidence where tue kindly relations for had beeu disturbed by tue war with its tn lui comi'ant evils, He hoped, now that Florida had a freedom, she would lozisiate as a sree State, with an vye single to her best interest, with a view to the future, Overlooking, as much as poxsibie, temporary and transi- tory.annoyances and considering the best method of Glovating vur people of ali classes, and opening up the State to emigration without the hindrances that would turn the tide in other directions. He advocat-d good schools as necessary to auy decree of success under & frec sysiem. if people are governed by laws (ey ought to be able to nnderstand those laws. ‘Troper education will always promote good mora's and good order, The negroes bud aiready mx schools im Tuilahissee, and they were showing great cnergy in carrying ‘them on, All good men will approve and assist them in their seif-sustaning efforts. He touched upon the matter of freedmea’s. testimony and suits in the courts of law, He sald tho President, every Provisional Governor and every lawyer he bad conversed with, from Washington to this place, expressed the same opinion— that, now the protection of muster was gone, the law must afford it, and he knew of no other possible way but by suits und tes.imony in courts, The Goneral explained the subject of abandoned lands. The bureau now be- cum a sort of omnium gatherum of everything, and he had regulated the matter of restoration as the President had directed. The law bad itself led the negroos to think they would bave land all over the country. Wrong impressions were being corrected, and contracts would be mado and enforced. The property at Apa- lachivola was to be resiored rrmenerg | under @ ju- dicious officer's direction. He explained how the landa set apart by General Sherman were b:ing returned. Every disposition on the part of the government and his own agencies was friendly, and he urgently recommended the working together, without paying any attention to poiitical action aud wire pulling, tor the solution of problems that now perpicx yaad try every man in the country, The time had come ior sober, calm, deliberate thoughts and dispassionate and wise ‘legislation.

An ordinance introduced by Mr. Coulter to annul all Kabilities of the State of Florida incurred between the 10th day of January, 1861, and the 27th day of Octobe: 1865, camo up in ite regular order, A motion was made to postpone the considoration of the ordinance until the committee to whom was referred the ordinance submitted by Mr. Livingston, which pro- vides for paying ten per cent upon the debt of the State, could have time to roport, Mr. Coulter did not see why certain delegates were 80 anxious to postpone the consideration of this matter. Ho considered it one of the most important measures that would come before the Convention. As for hims 4f, he was anxious to have action taken upon it at once. The debt was contracted for an illegitimate object, to enable Jeff. Davis & Co, to carry on the war against the government of the United States, and ho-for one was in favor of repudiation. He was opposed to saddling upon the present and future generations a burden of debt which they could not and ought not to pay. He should vote against it now and for all time to come. The mo- tion to postpone prevailed. Tavtanaseen, Fla, Nov. 2,1865. At the opening of the Convention this morning Mr. E. D. Tracy, the President, presented to the Convention a communication from Ex-Governor Brown, explaining, according to his convictions, the duty of the delegates upon the important questions beforo thom, and tho im- portance of spoedy action in comformity to the known wishes of the United States government. Considerable fecling was manifested by some of the members upon its reading, and speeches wore made by Messrs. Long and Spencer denouncing the communica- tion as uncalled for and insulting to the intelligenco of the Convention. They had come there to perform cer- tain things in accordance with the wishes of their con- stitutents, and wished for no advice from outside parties. They moved the communication be laid on the table in- definitely. Judge Baltzell, who is probably the most able and in- flvential member of the Convention, made a very sensi- ble, eloquent and earnest speech against the proposed disposition of the communication, and paid a high tribute to Governor Brown. : ‘The Convention decided to receive the communication and place it on file. Governor Brown is now an old man, and has rotired from active public life, but takes great interest in the fu- ture wel/are of the State, As bis address contains some good and wholesome advice I send it in full:— OVERNOR BROWN'S LETTER TO TILK CONVENTION. @ PRESIDENT AND MEMSERS OF THK CovENiION OF Fromwa:— IT beg leave respectfully to submit the following views for your consideration:—You have been elected by the people for the purpos> of framing a constivition which will cnable Florida to be received back into the Union as a covercign Stato with as Lttle delay as practicabie, This is the all absorbing question, and no obstacles should be allow-d to interfere which would have a tendency to im pede her speedy reception. ‘The present deplorable con- dition, vader the government of martial law, must be hovniliating to all true patriots and statesmen, and ren- ders Lor immediate admission paramount to all other considerations, b cause her restoration to her former position im tho Union restqres her honor and State dig- nity, The only question which seems to prosent a uth culty of solution is a suitable provision for the protec- tion of the emancipated slaves. And it seems to me that on proper copsiteration that will not present any imposing obstacle, Ton slavory is abolished im all the States of the late confederady t & facl which cannot be questioned, and thai it cannot do restored again nope but the most cre- dulous can for a moment su] Then let us come up firmiy and manfully and mect ttre question as candid and honest men. Declare in the comtitat‘on that slavery has ceased to cxiat in the State of Florda, and never can exist again, except for crimes whereof the party shail have been’ duly convicted; that they are now free citi- zens and entitled to all the rights and protection of law which are enjoyed by the white citizens of the State, und that the Legislature thereof shal! pass no law impairing th ir equal rights, or making any distinction on account color in the free exercise and enjoyment of them. It not follow that the acknowledginent of their free of protection under the laws of the State con to them any privilego to participate in the making of tho laws, The right of suffrage has always boen limited in all constitutional governments, as well as tho right to hold ollice and the duty of serving on juries; und « sound State policy dictates that these rights. duties and privi- leges should not be granted to emancipated slaves under present circumstances. ‘The right of protection of person and proporty by the laws of the State to the colored rac plies their right to testify in the courts in cases in which they are concerned against the white race; and Ican conceive no great evil would grow out of it on the presumption that the black man’s moral sense of the obligation of an oath is not as strong as that of the while man. ‘Tho court and jury would weigh well the testimony, To and give it only the weight to which it might appear to be entifled, And the witness, if convicted of perjury, would not only be swbject to all its pains and penalties, but would soon alt r be deprived of the privilege of testify- ing. The very greut importance to the people of Fiorlda that the constitution which you are about to make should be #0 formed as to leave no doubt of her speedy admis- sion to her political privileges in the Union must be my apology for making theso crude and hasty sug;estions for your consideration and reflection. hen the sparse population of the State and her bx- treme sei are taken into consideration the import. ance of our immediate and certain admisawn under the protection of the government of the United States be- comes raatiend the aprons Presented to us now should not be lost or risked. thout such Fg! Florida would soon become a den of piratical bands and lawless marat ders. The constitution should be formed and moulded in such « spirit as that our able and patriotic Provisional Governor could give it his cordial approval aud recum- mendatien. MAS BROWN. DIBGUNSION ON THE REPUDIATION ORDINANCE, ‘The ordinance to amend all liabilities of the State in- curred between the 10th day of June, 1861, and the 23th day of October, 1865, came up again to-day, and the fol- lowing substitute was offered by Mr, Magbeo— Be it ordained, &c., That at the first dlection for @o- vornor of the State of Florida the Stato's lability to pay the Stato Treasury notes issued from the commencoment of the rebellion up to the timo of the surrender of Gone- als Lee and Johnson's armies shall bo submitted to the jc of Florida as follows :—At the time of voting at said election each elector shall endorse on his ballot the word “Pay” or “No and the result of said election shall be retw in the samo manner that is prescribed by law for the re‘urus of elocttun for Governor and counted in the same manne! v Be it further ordained, That at the first meeting of the Legisinture of Florida after the passago of this ordinance this question shall be iq by Be it further ordained, the inapectora of election shall be furnished with instructions to carry into effect this ordinance at the same timo they reccive instructions for the election of the first Governor of this State after the passage of this ordinance, The substitute was adopted—y eas 26, nays 21. The discussion of repudiation oecupied much of the time of the Convention during the morning session. Many of the delegates stated that the question had not been discussed during the canvass, and they were igno- rant of the wishes of their constituents, and they wished on this account to refer the matter back to the pec ra rey i ly, to it. ee Oe broad it would aul of this ity wane ale ee 5 Sas cess tia H i : 2 its AMERICAN OCEAN NAVIGATION. The Arago and Fulton Kesume Their Havre Trips. On Saturday next the steamship Arago inaugurates the Tosumption of a four years’ suspended direct American steam communication with Europe. The New York ‘and Havre line of steamers, 6o long and favorably known and patronized by American travellers to Europe, was four years ago withdrawn from the carrying trade, in con ‘sequence of the perils to be encountered through rebel Privateers by a purely Amorican line, But with tho suppression of the war and the withdrawal of priva- teers from the seas, the New York and Havre line of communication is now reopened. The company some timo ago dotermined to be first in the field, or rather first on the ocean again, and for the purpose of assur- ing to the travelling public the same comfort and securities which rendered their ships and their commanders so popular m the past, have submitted the former to a most thorough overhauling, in- @pection and repair, and have retained in com- mand the ablo Captains Gadsdem and Wotton, who commanded them then and who have since commanded them in the service of the government to which Cm | had been temporarily diverted. The resumption of and passenger communication with Europe through this, the only American line of steamers on the ocean, will be hailed with pleasure here in New York and throughout the country, and there ie little doubt but that the old patronage, with a large addition theroto, from the in- creased traffic which now prevails between the United States and Europe, will be oxtended to this line, Thore is one circumstance greatly in favor of this, and arises from the fact that while these veasels were in the service of tho Quartermaster’s Department of the government, the splendid sea going qualities of the ‘vessels, urbanity and educated seamanship of their captain's, became thoroughly known to and appreciated by military men generally; and as large numbers of the ‘mustered out’ are now visiting Ku- rope, they will be glad of the opportunity of resuming their acquaintance with the old vessels and thoir com- manders. Tho company, although now resuming the trade with the two vessels which a few years ago were competent to meet the demand, and which ran only monthly, propose to put other equally good, if not better, vessels On tho Ime, and to make the communication weekly. In this they are ably seconded by their capablo agent, Mr. Isaac Bell, long connected and agsociated with tho sucess of the line. ‘The steamer Arago, the first of the line to sail, has been subjected to a thorough overhauling, and has’ also undergone extensive repairs. The upholstery and trim- mings in the main saloon are of the finest description, and are superb in design and finish. All of the stato- rooms and cabins have been newly furnished with car- pets and oiloloths, and the joiner work has been done over in the most perfect manner. The vessel lias also been thoroughly painted, both inside and out, and looks more as if she had just come from off the stocks than like a ship that had done such hard and valuable service. The ladies’ boudoir is handsomely furnished yith all the mod-rn improvements and conveniences, and leads into a bath room, which latter is fitted up in the most costly and fashionable style. The Arago is capable of accom- modating two hundred and fifty cabin passengers, and the greatest caro has beon taken to provide for their comfort and to guard against the contingency of a fire occurring on board the vessel. She is provided with two steam pumps, which are worked by a donkey en- gine, and the hose, which 1s attached to these pumps, can reach with greatest ease from one end of the steamer to the other; besides these, she has a pump nmidships, with hose attached, which can be worked independently, or in conjunction with the donkey pumps. She is p vided with water-tight compartments, and has a bulk- head stretching completely across the vessel, about thirty fect from the prow, and another just forward of tho amoke-stack, The Araco hag two oscillating engines of two thousand horse power, and has lately had two new boilers placed in her of one hundred and forty tons. Sho is three hundred feet long, thirty-two fect depth of hold, and forty-three fect beam. Her machinery has just been overhauled and placed in proper working ord the Morgan Iron Works. The steam- ship Arago is of of the staunchest vessels afloat, and as a proof of this we have only to add that at the time of the engagement between the rebel ram Merrimac and Monitor she was selected, owing to her superior quali- tios, by the government, for the purpose of running down the reb | ram, and was stationed at Hampton Itoads up- wards of two months for that express purpose. Among ‘the guests on board the Arayo yesterday we noticed Cap- tain Comstook, who exprossod himself as-being delighted with the improvements that had been made upon the steamer, The Arago will sail on Saturday next, the 25th inst., for Havre, touching at Falmouth, to deliver the maiis. She will thus save some twelve hours steaming between her port of destination and Southampton. A largé number of persons have already engaved passage on the Arago.

Before Judges Barbour, MoCunn and Monell, Barlow vs, Holyoke, Vanderbilt and Murray.—A very ‘unusual case camo before the general term of the Supe- rior Court yesterday’ morning in the form of an appeal from an order dismissing tho complaint of Mr. Charles M. Barlow, a South street broker, who brought an action against Measrs. George-E. Holyoke, E. W. Vanderbilt and —— Murray, for alieged interference with his busi- neasas broker The gravamen of the action is that on tho 12th of March, 1865, tho plaintiff was employed by the masterof the schooner Clara Norton to procure cargo or freight to be cared from New York to Phil delphia on hire, and thon at Philadelphia to procure an- other carzo to be carried from Philadelphia to Portland, Me., for which sorvices it was agreed to pay him broker: ago and commissions amounting in the whole to about eighty dollars; and the plaintiff alleges that he did pro- cure such cargo to be carried therein from New York to Philadephia, and at the request of the master con-igned the veesel and cargo to a house in Philadelphia, and ob- tained a refusato carry another cargo from Philadelphia to Portland, Me., and ‘a hire and freight money. Sub- sequent to this agreement aed armen charges that the defendants, through E. W. nderbilt, induced the master of ‘the Clara Norton to accept thoir services in Jace of Mr. Barlow's, and by representations alleged to «) Of a false character procured the foes and emoluments which ought to have been bestowed upon the plaintiff. The plaintiff charges two other similar caces, The question was argued at considerable length by Mr. Alanson Nash, who cited several cases in favor of grant- ing the plaintif’s claims.
