2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sexpay, Angust 5, 1866, Vto-iness was animated in Wall street during the past ok, and particularly on the Stock Exchange, where ‘so specriavon in railway sbareé continaed active at atvanciog prices, The sensation produced at the begin- ning by the taying of the Atiantic cable and the prema- .f@ announcement it conveyed that a treaty of peace had been signed by the belligerent Powers in Europe gradually «ied oat, so that it became lees than a nino days’ wonder, and as the cable afterwards failed to com: municate any news of public importance, notwithstand. ag Che important events trauspiring in Europe, the pub- xan to doubt whether the cable waa a success after Late on Saturday evening, however, as if to cap tye climax of the farce, thére came a telegram saying there was no political news of real importance on day (the 3d), without explaining what had occurrea during the long interval of silence on the subject which telegraph bad allowed to elapse, ‘The advices by tho steamer Moravian are by no means reassning with regard to the future of the war, ite termination with the araistion which has been couckaded being very doubtful from present appearances. there was @ brisk demand om Monday for five-twentios of the old issue, which rose to 108% under it; but after- wards they declined under a reported decline of the vouds in London from 71 to 63!;. On Saturday, how. ever, they advanced to 09 in consequence of a report that they were 71 again, instead of which it subse- quently transpired that they were only 69 on the 3¢ inst, a price which leaves a very scanty margin for profit at the present price of gold and the bonds here. Government securities generally were well «ported, and the facilities for carrying them on specu- on were even more amplo, owing to the extrome amndanco of money and the low rate of intereat~ namely, four per cent, The growing talk about the so-called cholora has ex- erted no {nfluence upon the course of speculation on tho Stock Exchange, owing to a prevailing betief that the dmease will not become epidemic, even if that which is so considered really is cholera, concerning which there are doubts entertained. Moreover it is argued that while the prevalence of such a scourge among us would tend fo the stagnation of trade, itwould thereby leavo capits, unemployed Which, in the absence of other occupation, would be available for speculative usex in Wall street. Je ts also argued that, as the Western grain crops aro promising, a large business ties before the railways in that section. Should peace return in Europe, however, there will be less gain in this respect than might be otherwise ked for, At the close of business on Saturday after uoon the following quotations were reported:--New ral 104% a %, Erie 68% u *{, Hudson River 4 a 122, Reading 111% a %, Michigan Southern 945; Cleveland & Pittsbury 87 a 4, Rock Island 108% a thwestern 26% a %—preferred 67%; a %, Fort Wayne 103% # 104, Obiv & Mississippi certilieates 30% a Me. gold MAT) ay fho gold market opened under excitement on Monday morning copaequent on the European news by steamor and cable, and sales wore as low as 146, but it ralliid to 1483, the same day. During the rost of the week it re- mained dull and generally steady, notwithstanding a full demand for customs duties, the recsipts having been $2,870,809 at this port, and a scarcity of coin for dotivery which caused the borrowing rate after the middlo of the week to range from 1-32 to 1-16 per vent. range of the market was as under: — Lighest.

The banks of this city at the date of their last return held only $9,701,540, which is not wholly represented by coin in their vaults owivg to their loaning gold to customers.

This is a small gom considering that the country at largo has been drained o specie and that our import trade is preponder- ating largely over our export trade, and that it bas done so since cotton shipments ceased from the Southero ports some months ago; and in view of ail the conditions uf the market tor gold it is hardly likety to be a declining one for some time to come unleas speculation should tem- povarily force 1% down for the purpose of creating short’ interest on which to base operations for a fresh rise.

AYHCH LAW IN KENTUCKY—THREE MEN HUNG. {Krom the Catletteburg (Ky.)

Whe Is the Legal President of Mexicet—-The Ortega Side of the Story—Protest of J. M. Palacios (First Deputy to the National Con- gress), by the State of Chihuahua, Against the Decrees isacd by Juarez of November S, 1865. Derury to Tax Naniovat Concress, sr Tis Srats oF Cmmvanca:— The two decrees which the supreme goverament pro- mulgated at Paso del Norte through the Minister of Re- lations, on the 8th of last November, have given rise to 4 very grave question, to which no Mexican ean be indif- ferent, and much less any of us who hold the position as representatives of the people, and as guardians of their rights, While the state of war renders most Ho manifestation, through the want of proper ‘and of liberty of action, the greater becomes the obliga- tion imposed upom the very few of us who form a por- tion of the sovercign Congress, the special custodian of the constitution and social guarantees, not to remain silent whenever in our judgment either the one or the. other ig violated by the person charged with the desti- nies of the nation. And as the decrees already men- tioned strike the most violent blow at our fundamental charter; as the continuance in the Presidency of the republic by Don Benito Joarez and the man- nor in which it has been effected, constitute an innovation very foreign to the law to which we should all be subject; my position as a Deputy compels me to protest in the name of the State of which, T am a representative against such an usurpation of power committed to the injiiry “of the boaor of Mexico and imminent danger of our independency, already too much imperilied under the present cifcumstances, Notwithstanding the multitade of arguments which the Minister uses in the ingenious ciroular which accom- pantes the decree, the letter of the constitution is a0 do- finite that there is no rom for any do except such as tony be raised by ambition or pasty spirit. Legitimacy of publi¢e aut ority in every oonstitntional government must based, aud in fact is based upoa the strict interpretation of the words of the law; but agnong us latitude ot construction hax always furnish od ij the sole title tonsurpors and been the souree of all our misfortunes, i As regards the first of the decrees relative to the con- tinuationdn the Presidency of the repablic by Don Benito | Juarez,,e will find that bed Keprrelie- provisions ongopbs more clear or precise than they are. 9 nante seventy-eighi defines acuneae the term for which the President ei ct shall remain i office, ‘Article seventy-nine provides for a vacancy, no matter how it may occur, and orders tha, ip that caso the resident of the Supreme Court of Justice shalt enter upon the exercise of the duties of the oilice of President. In article oighty the manner of holding « few election is provided for in the «ase of a vacan’y; but in the meantime the President of the Supreme Court must till continue in the exercise of power. And, lastly, artcle eighty-two, which confirms the pub- v dex most posttiveiy for the discontinuance from office of the Inst incumbent, no matter what may be the reason which may Lave prevented a new election. In all of these articles it may plainly be seen that the leading idea of the legislator, which ia thrice répeared, leaving no room for doubt, is that the incumbent for the expiring term of the Presideucy shall céaso hts functions at the end of the four years for which he was elected ino matter wh.t may happen), in order to deprive Lim of any pretext for continuing in power, and the same idea ig expressed im the ucts of the Congress at that iutention was to eradicate this old evil of despotiem, which defends its origin by interpretation of the funda- mental taws, or with pretences of providing for the lic rue Seats Sit by any reason,” usod in article eghty- two, are and absolute in their meaning, covering all possible cases, and their meaning is still further ox- pisined by the use of tho word “notwithstanding,” used in the same article, where li provides that the President of the Supreme Court shail enter into office on the ex- piration of the term of the ivoumbent to the Presidency of the repablic, Tris absurd va Sarpces that the exist. ing «tate of war is not intend sd rae en ao toa would be to assert that be legisiator, torcseeing this case, Was Onwilling elther to comprise it’ or expressly to cept it, And if ne did mot forcsve it there is mo doubt tua: he wished to establieh a rule without any exc ption, applicable to al) casca whicn he ible, ‘Consequently, knowing to acertainty that the intention of the arucles ectfed is to prevent, from auy cause, the tions on the same, AS #00n as quiet wus reatuced, Bil!
