. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Fray, June 15—6 P. M. ‘The strength and activity of the gold market still con- situte the main topic of mtereat in Wall street. The opening price this morning was 148%, from which there wes a steady advance to 149%, followed by a relapse to 147%, the closing quotation belng 148};. Loans wore made at 3 a % per cont in favor of the lender of the com during the regular delivery hours, but after- wards transactions were made flat and at 3a 3 per ernt for carrying. The “bull” interest is at present the controlling one, but it is not improbable that the speculators for a rise will overieap themselves sad invite a corresponding rebound, The supply of gold in the Treasury on the Ist of Juno and in the banks of this city on the 9th, ageregated, it 1s true, only 966,601,620, of which amount $28,111,689 was the prop- erty of the Treasury; but this is no insignificant residup ‘after such aheavy drain as we had previously experi- enced, and in the event of a turn for the better in mone- tary affairs abroad the export demand for specie would umumediately subside, On the other hand the state of the public mind in Europe may continue so disturbed for some time longer that our supply will be reduced considerably further before wo oxperience any sensible relief, and it 1s upon the latter view of the situation that the bulls are basing their operations. Meanwhile there is a gradual disgorgement of hoards going forward, arhich, however, figuratively speaking, is but « drop in ‘he bucket on an excited market like the present. As there is some confusion in the public mind with respect to the gold certificates issued by the Sub-Treasury we may state that they represent coin actually in its vaults, but owned by the private holders of these certificates, Thus, although the Treasury held om the Ist of June $50,679,957 of coin, only the $28,000,000 ‘we have mentioned of the amount belonged to the gov- ernment. The Sub-Treasury will issue these certificates to any one depositing with it, and whenever the govern- ment sells gold it delivers it in the form of these certif- cates, redeemable at sight. This reminds us that the pub- tic are awaiting further particulars of the May saiea, and Congress could not do better than appoint a com mitteo to investigate the matter thoroughly. ‘As the general impression is that it was a Treasury job, Mr. McCulloch should be anxious to free himself from the suspicion by promptly volunteering a full explana- tion of all the details of these transactions, including the names of all the buyers of the gold sold and the amounts bought by them respectively, ‘The range of the market during the six weeks ending with last saturday was as under:— a ania’ Higtet. ‘ook ending \. ne 12536 Week ending May 12.. 127% Week ending May 1 4 129 Week ending May 26. . aug 120% Week ending June 2 are 18734 Week ending June 9. ++ 186% 1385 Business on the Stock Exchange continues dull, but prices are well sustained. Operations fora rise are, how- ever, held in suspense, partly owing to an anxiety to learn more of what the future of affairs is likely to be in Europe, and after the next news arrives there will pro- Dably be greater activity. There is no good reason, nev- ertheless, why speculation in railway shares, excepting Erie and Mlinols Central, should be checked by the state of manetary or political affairs abroad, as our money mar- ket is entirely independent of direct foreign influence, and by sympathy it sKould rise with gold. At the early session of the open board the market was fuict and steady. New York Central sold at 98%, Eric 003; a %, Reading 1095, Michigan Southern 793, Illi- nols Central 1213; # 122, Cleveland and Pittsburg 823, Fort Wayne 973¢, Rock Island 92% a %, Northwestern 903; —preferred 60 a 5944, Maripoea preferred 241, West- ern Union Telegraph 563. At the first regular board there was a marked improvement in Erie and Rock Island, bat the rest of the railway list was dull, although firm. Erie closed 234 higher than at the half-past two board yesterday, Rock Island 23{, Michigan Southern %, Iitinois Central 44. Western Union Telegraph de- clined 4. Government securities wero moderately active and steady, excepting coupon teu-fortios and seven-thirty notes of the second serice, which advanced S, and five-twentios of 1865, which declined 4. Miz- wouri State sixes were lower than at the same time yesterday ; Tennessee sixes 3; higher and North Carolina sixes 1 higher. At the one o’clock sossions the market was quiet and quotations were without material change. At the half-past. two board it displayed no new feature, New York Central closed %¢ higher than at the firet rezuiar board, Cleveland and Toledo %{, Canton 1%, Western “Union Telegraph %, Erie % lower, and Fort Wayne %. Government securities were steady. Coupon ten-forties declined 34. At the open board at half-past three prices were a fraction lower aad the volume of business was very limited, Ero sold at 60%, Cloveland and Pittsburg 8234, Rock Island 94 a 03%, Northwesiern (s. 3) 30%— preferred 6034, Canton 604, Mariposa preferred 24, Western Union Telegraph 56%. The decline of six per cent in the lust named during the week is attributed to the consolidation of the American Telegraph Company with the Wostern Union on terms, it is stated, of three shares of the latter stuck for one of the former, the amount of which is four millions The capital of the company in bonds and shares is now -swelled to about thirly millions; but the agreement just referred to has not yet been ratified, although it is presumed that it will be at the next meeting of the respective com- panies, The stock market closed steady on the street, the quo- tations at half-past five being as under:—New York Con- tral 98% 299, Erie 60\¢ a 34, Hudson River 110 bid, Reading 1091 a 4, Michigan Southern 7934 a 34, Dlinois Centrai 121% a 122, Cleveland and Pitisburg 82% a %, Cloveland and Toledo 105 a 34, Rock Island 93% a 04, Northwestern 30% a ¢—preferred 693; a 4, Fort Wayne 97 a %, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 27% a 28, Can- ton 60:4 a 34, Cumberland 443¢ a 46, Mariposa preferred 23% a 24, Quicksilver 50% a 51, b Money is becoming a drag on the Stock Exchange, capital being offered largely in excess of the demand at five per cent, while the exceptional transactions at four are numerous, Thero is a moderate business in dls- counts and firet class commercial paper is generally taken at six per cent; but the range is from five to seven. The foreign exchange market was dull and rather heavy. Bankers’ bills at sixty days on England were offered at 1094 a &{ by the leading drawers, and short sight at 110% a 111; but the demand was very light, while out of doors sales of the bost bankers’ bills at long date were made as low as 108. Commercial bills are almost unsalablo and quoted at 108 a 34. Bills on Paris at sixty days are rated at Sf. 8X¥c., short sight Sf. Se, Potroleum and miving stocks were moderately active. At the second board Bennehom Run Oi! closed 0c, lower than at the same time yesterday. Benneho Run was Sc. higher, United States 10c., Consolidated Gregory Gold 400., Smith & Parmolee 16¢, At the second board Bennehoff Run Oil closed 10c. lower, selling at $3; United States 35c., selling at $6 35. Benneho Run was 700. higher, selling at $12; Consolidated Grogory Gold 10c., sling at $14 Pit Holo Creek sold at $2 40, Central $2 50, Sith & Parmeleo $9 25, Gunnell Gold 850. Among the amendments to the National Banking law reported by Mr. Hooper, from the Committee of the Hous» of Representatives on banking yesterday ts one reducing the tax on o:culation from one balf of one per cont per annum, as provided in section 41 to one quar- ter of one per cent, and to strike out tho tax of ono quarter of one por cent on ite capital alto~ gother, To these amendments in view of the many pri- vileges enjoyed by the national banks undor the act au- thorizing therr creation, wo ars deckledly opposed. ‘Tue backs fm neorly every lustonee are well able to pay the tatoert y inay bo seen by the large joy to their stockholders, be amendment gompelling ‘ » Crary bank# to redeem thelr notes on de. nnd in New York, Boston or Philadelphia, and also ‘that Hientting the cireulation of any onc bank to a mil- lion of dollars and distributing corrency in proportion to capital as follows:—To each association whose capital shall not exceed $300,000, 90 per centum of such capital; to each association whose capital exceeds $200,000, but docs not exceed $500,000, 80 per centum of such capital, to each association whose capital exceeds $500,000, but Aoos not exceed $1,000,000, 70 per eentuim of such capi. tal; to each aasociation whose capital exceeds $1,000, 000, but does not exceed $3,000,000, 60 per contum of capital; to each association whose capital axeeed $3,000,000, 50 per contum of such capital, the aisendment also providing that whenever the deposits of public Money in any public depository exceed the amount of the bonds deposite@ for the wecurity thereof, the excess ehall be transferred by the United States Treasurer at onee to the Treasury is a step in the right direction, and AS ory necessary one, with the example of tho Merchants’ Notional Bank before us. None of these amendments #9 indy) quough, however, They provide pajliatives ———_ ae ee instead of remedies, What ts needed is an amendment providing for the gradual reduction of the gational bank notes and the substitution therefor of an equivalent amount in legal tender notes.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—CHAMBERS. Before Judge Cardozo. George W. Holt vs, The Board of Exowe.—The chambers of the Court of Common Pleas were again orowded yos- terday, to hear the conciuston of the argumont respect. ing the constitutionality of the new Excwe law, Inside the Iron railings several extra chairs wore placed for the accommodation of the public, while the outside space was allotted to those coming late, and compelled for the most part to occupy standing positions. Just before the resumption of the argument in the case of Mr. Holt, the counsel for Paul Falk moved for the it of the discuasion in his client's case, ou the ground that the legal points were not pet printed, and that the conclusion of the other argument would not ‘be reached until a late hour of the day. The counsel for the Board of Exo’ this insagoheen and afier some discussion it ided that the case should be taken up at halr- ten o'clock this morning, ‘The counsel for Mr. Holt then proceeded to reply to the ment of Mr. Boon! the preceding in su port of the constitutionality of the new excise law. commence: by referring to an order of Superintendent Kennedy Girecting the police to enforce to the last de- the provisions of and characterized Fitecent, ‘in. vi fe race’ hat. the validity of the indecent, in view of the aly of sae enactmest was before a judicial tribunal. should give a eneesetices the Crysis danfecer it would be understood that the law should not be ot n force while this action was ponding. The coun: dwelt on the argument of Mr. A contended all the material facts chi in Holt's complaint were admitted by the counsel for the Board of Excise, with two exceptions—first, that the Board of Excise were charged in any way with the enforcement of the law, and second, that Holt had been compelled to obtain « new license. All the rest was admitted, it he under- stood rightly the argument of his learned opponents. Their first great point was that Mr. Holt had of bis own free volition cancelled the license he had received from old Beard gf Excise, aud that, therefore, he was estopied from contesting the validity of tho new law. If that meant anything, it simply meant that thoce who had taken out licenses under the new law were bound by Its provisions, while thosa who had not done go were not. Io other words only those who had submitted to the law wero bound by it. The answer to that was that the Legislatzre derived its authority to make laws from the State constitulion, and that the Legislature could not enact a law which depended for its validity upon the choice of the people, except in ceriain well known cases, such as the Croton water casa, and others that might be mentioned, It was said that Mr. Holt bad voluntarily the law and renounced bis old jicense by tak- ing out anew one. His consent was like that of the man with pistol at his head, A bigh way Sopher who had threatened to blow out a man’s biaius it he did not surrender his purse, might come into court and set up the samo plea as the Board of Excise, He micht say, “T gave him his choice, either to give his money or lose his life; he preferred to savo his life, and, therefore, consented to give up his money.” If on the Ist of last May Mr. Holt had presumod to resist the law the two thou- sand hounds under the control of the Board of Excise would have been unkcnnelled and let loose upon bim. He would have boen dragzed to every police court and sub. Jected'to gross Indiguitics, Ho kuew that bis basiness ‘was in jeopardy, and {elt that if he mado ashow of resisting the law at the outset he might have been roiged irreparably, Parties (os contract should stand on an equality, and it could not be held that Holt, when he applied to ‘the new Board for a liconso, was on an equal footing with the State. The State, 80 to speak, had ‘him under duress, and he only yielded through motives of fear for the safety of his business and his person. The State therefore had an advantage over him, and in a court of equity, where one party takes an improper advantage over auother, the latter ts regarded as not having been placed under & legal obligation, Morvover the State had given no consideration fur the surrender of vit s, license, He bad pald for his formor license for a certain period, and before the expiration of that time it was claimed that he had Jogally surrendered his lMeense, while there was no pretence that he had recoived back the money he had |g into the treasury of tho State. Again tho counsel for the defendan's asserted that a licenge sas not a contract at all—that it was a somethi: which could be revoked nt any moment a the will ant caprice of the State, That position was entirely un- tenable, and the counsel anstyzed all the cases quoted rs his opponcut, and argue‘ that they had no bearing on the presont discussion. “In all those “cages no fera- tion had been paid for licensos, whereas in this one a license fee uf two huudred and fifty dollara had been paid. The des'gn of the statute was ly thats pe- cuniary copsidoration should be paid, and the dak was what tho court should Prineipaliy look at. The court had no right to impute bad faith to the Legis. lature, Tie law did not state that ! intended to cancel former lic and to say that it did and designed to recetye a consideration for licenses and afterward re- voke thetn, still reta'ning the cousideration, would be to impute bad faith to the Legislature, The court should refuse, like the judiclary of Ohio under similar circum- stances, to aay that the Logialature designed to commit an act of dishonesty when it had failed to state so ex- pressty itself, The coansel here referred to the fanatical tendencies of legislation at Albany, aud remarked whilo this etty, the great commer: ium of the country, had {ts sees of morality Iberalixed, and was justly entit!ed to have its uotious prevail all over the Btate, no rd lo its wishes seemed to be paid. The eciaration that man wag made for self goverament scemed to have no application to this city in the eyes of the Albany Solous, and all ita privileges were tranaferred to commissioners appointed by persons Lying in other parts of the Stato It was not ne- comary. to form a coutract with the State that at shouid give someihing langible, because it was other wise in'the eae of a baud charter, There the Blate gives # license to carry on the bauking business, It does not give a Louse, nor does it pay the clerks employed in the buries, So it was with a license to soli Liquors, It was just as much property ag a banking charter. Ho couceded that. the United States and the State had aright to reulate business in a reasonable way, bat neither had a rght to destroy existing rights as in thiscave. The State could abolish traffic im liquor altogether, and might panish a violation of such a law with death. It might be ag tyrannical as it pleased— might enact ali the blue laws—but it could not touch the past, and could only deai with matters concern the future, He differed from his oppouents in th» belie! that a prohibitery law could not be parsed. Such a law could be constitutional, but it could not operate retro actively but prospectively. Much bad been xaid as to the revokubility of licenses, His opponents asserted that they were vevokable by the terms of the law of 1857 itself. [% was only for misconduct, and thers was a broad distinction between revoking aud repealing, The counsel wished the public to under- stand that be was not nog, boy Court for anything that ho had not a right to ask. The grounds upon which the injunction was sought were perectiy legal and well recognized. An injunet'on mixit be granted ether to restrain irreparable injury or to suppress oppressive or in. terminable ation, of to prevent «a maltiplicity of suits. It was enougit if au injury was threatened to be doue which woald destroy property for the future. The counsel concleded with a bref recapitulation of his principal points, and sat down afver aver two boura’ argument. Mr. Tracy replied on behalf of the Board of Excise in a brief arg sain followed by the counsel t, and for Me.
