CITY POLITICS. jee National Demecracy—Grand Opporta- uity fer the Tammany Sachems—The Duty ef the Hour. ‘The defeat of impeachment and the demolition all the plans and scheines and airy castles that ‘were formed and erected on the success of the radicals have been a severe blow to the host of aspir ants for oMce under the anticipated reign of Ben Wade in the White House, several fat federal offices which will beat the disposa of the Chief Executive on and after the 4th day of March next. ‘The present incumbents of these efGces still hold on under the old régime, much to the ebagrin and disappointment of the hungry pack who bat a short time since panted for their places. i was perfectly well unders'ood that the Ben Wade axe woul? have swept ever a wider circuit and be more fatal on the sweep | than ever axe before wielded by the dispenser of patronage. ‘The number of those anxious to step fmto the sboes’of the prejudged and predoomed eonsequently proportionately large. Among these candidates for place ip the public cribs were not a few old fogies, whose day dreams of ambition and @istinction might fairly be considered as having passed away some years age. There must have been something in the anticipated triumph of the radical element and in Old Wade's translation to the White House that galvanized into an ephemeral existence those ancient hunters after places, that shall know them no more forever. There was a sort of donble relay of office seekers on the slip, awaiting a victory for Butler & Co. on the impeachment question, ready to rash in pell mel! and seize the ,prizes and the fat places which the new political situation and the new political Moses woula have opened to them. The result has turned out so differently and unexpectedly, especially tothe old temporarily resuscitated political fossils, that these have crawled back to their retreats fom which no political revalsion will ever be able to draw them again. Indced, the whole tribe of political gamesters, who are ready to stake their all upon a throw and who would endanger their success ‘with Chase, Grant, or any other man depending on it In the future, to the insatiable craving for imine- diate place, no matter how uncertain the tenure, have received @ severe biow, not only in the defeat of impeachment (as it has prolonged their probationary term from offfte), but in the political wevolution it now so surely indicates and fore- shadows. Luck has turned against the whole set of political ‘bunkers’? who have been running with the republican machine for some years past. Before ‘they can change front and forswear their old afMilia- ions their time for recognition by the new party will have passe away forever. ‘This is the dilemma ‘these men’now find themselves in. Returning to the oM party would be as tedious as to remain with the ene they have accepted place from so long. From present appesrances and the increasing inclination en the part of the great national democracy to take up Chief Justice Chase as thetr standard bearer in the Presidential campaign a)! the pians and schemes, the pipelaying and the bargaining of the small fry peliticians within the republican ranks will go for nothing. A very strange political anomaly wil! be Presented mm the event of Mr. Chase being the demo- cratic candidate or the national candidate, as against the candidate of the Chicago Convention for the Presidency. Not a few radical republicans looked forward to the conviction of President Johnson end calculated upon the Chief Justice’s assistance to that end as the presiding oMcer of the High Oourt of Im- peachment. This would have been considered as the highest recommendation for the snffrage of the party at the nominating Convention, and us woch a result and such action were all slong anticipated a dost of small fry sadicals had already laid tracks for running into Mice under Chase. Events have shown how ail there calculations and plottings have been con- founded and brought to naught—not only in the fall- ‘ure of the Impeachment dodge, put in Mr. Chase's in- strumentahty thereanent. Then comes the pnzziing part of it. nief Justice Chase should be the can- didate of the National Democratic Convention that will assemble tn this city on the Fourth of July pex:, wil) the previous candidates for offive under him as the su) successful radical candidate still press when he is the avowed (and likely to be the victorious) standard bearer of the democratic , a8 against lifelong democratic candidates for offices, and to which will the ‘the exercise of his patronage inclinet This is a qoery ‘the democratic wire pullers will answer for them- @elves and their opponents both at the same time. ‘The former have been too long deprived of govern- mental power, place and patronage to part with thy pickings, the smaliest bone or scrap of Pom ‘tinge, to & single one of that party that has had the E years. No recreancy, no recantations, no obsequious- | CY ‘ness will avail; thrift will not come from bending the prenant hinges of all the knees of ail the old re- | ican place seekers that would have supported Erase at their candidate any how. The republican party as the controlling Powe of the government have ceased to be, and the cry of the victors De, var victis! that whole hosts of republicans ail over Will vote for the nominee of the Demo- lonal Convention, if thet man be Mr. Oh: not save the bacon of a single “son of older or oficeseeker, and any Ey with that idea may as well be exploded ence. That the republican cliques of thie city acted for a time on the conviction that Mr. Johnson wontd be removed, and that they predicated all their plans 1s @ fact estab! by the confident saying a = es! of the chairman of the Republican State Oomiittee, ‘bo, when asked his opinion as to the vesnit of im- answered, « Why, ment, inan, do you think utes and he Mourn- the other side of the fence Unis time, and ‘She mutes are the gentieman bimeel! and bis friends, who have been struck dumb with the defeat of the | Fadical scheme on which they relied for the spoils of emce.

Let it be re-echoed from Maine to Let the democracy of the land inscribe on their banners ‘Chase and Victory and the result is certain. ‘this is not a movement of expediency; it is one of absolute necessity. The re- acans took up Grant as an expediency candidate. ey knew they could do well enough with any other, but better, on the whole, with him, and so they took him.

The only obstacle to this end lies in the determination of the Western men to press thelr favorite, Pendleton, at all sacrifices. It is said that upwards of five thousand backers of Pendleton will be in this city during the sitting of the Convention. The Western delegations have Socured Masonic Hall, on Thirteenth street, close to the wigwam, as their headquarters. To a Lege geen ty mpd and to neutralize it before action imperative. It is strongly urged by numbers of influential democrats to @ series ot public meetings throughout the States to test the popular feeling with regard to the nomination of Mr. Chase. In city and in all the bm cities of the State there is an increasing majority in favor of Chase. That portion of the democratic party that most prevails around the City Hall and the numerous cribs connected therewith is greatly stirred ai the chance thus presented to the party to beat their old opponents in a Presidential contest and to wrest from them the spoils they have so long enjoyed, They are giad to know that Western men are coming in such large numbers for the busi- ness that will be done in the cobbler, julep, sling and cocktail line, in which many of them have large in- terests, but they will be more pleased to know that Pendleton and his five thousand backers will be some- what in the position of that King of France who, with all his gen, marched up the hilt and came down again—the Pendletonians having the name of Chase inscribed upon their banners on their homeward march. THE TAMMANY CHANGE OF TACTICS—THE GUBERNA- YORIAL CONTEST. The chief leaders—the Tammany sachems—are very reticent as to the result of their secret councils on the Presidential question, The assurance of suc- cess 80 apparent on the Chase ticket has, however, somewhat modified previous plans. If a new slate for State officers was predicated on the Chase move- meut, William M. Tweed would be the nominee of the party for Governor, the present principal aspirant thereto submitting to have other honors buckled on to hig, In the event of the Mayoralty becoming vacait, George W. McLean, the zealous and nly eMicient Street Commissioner, will surely su the Present incumbent. In this event we may an! ite a full succeeding term to Mr. McLean and congratu- late the citizens on having in Re ge @ chief magis- trate every way worthy e high position.

Ex-Vice President Hamlin spoke handsomely about Colfax at a late radical meeting in Bangor, Me. Hon.

Phillips should be made Secretary of State in the event of the Chicf Justice’s election, their proceedings would become sufficiently rounded and orbicular to satisfy the most fastidious of the worshippers of perfection.” H.8. Bundy, in a card printed in the Jackson (Ohio) Standard, corrects the account given of his conversation with Chief Justice Chase. He says that the latter did not say anything in regard to anew party or a8 to his seeking the nomination for the Presidency. What he did say was that he was op- posed to impeachment and to the Congressional plan of reconstruction. Mr. Chase was outspoken im his opposition to the republican policy.

Mr. Freyberger, who was elected recording secretary when reorganization took Face, sent in his resignas tion, and before the close of the meeting it was re- solved to have two recording sccretaries—one to keep the minutes in the ae oy. anid the other in the German langnage—and ir.

At some of the factories the 3:0 was paid on Saturday last. Several em- ploycrs are reported to be willing to pay the ad- vance to some of their cutters, but not to all, and thore who do not get it have determined to strike. This announcement Was greeted with ap- Plause, and at the suggestion of these men it was agreed that the Union will tse its Influence to pre- vent “dongs” or “rats” from taking their places should they strike.

POLICE INTELLIGEYCE. VIOLATIONS OF THE EXciseE Law.—An unusual number of parties accused of violating the Excise law was yesterday brought before Judge Mansfield, of the Essex Market Police Court, a fact doubtless owing to the late change in police captains and competitions for show of vigilance.

Through’ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. of owe su press Wnt Paes mat Sonpay, June 7, 1868, ‘The market for United States siocks was very active and bueyant during the early part of Just week; Dut subsequently there was a lull im the upward movement, and, under considerable sales of speculative jots, made to realize profits, prices yielded slightly from the highest point touched, ‘The home investment demand continued good, how- ever, and the foreign bankers were large buyers of five-twenties for exportation, the inquiry from which source was stimulated on Saturday by the advance im the bonds of t862 to 73 a 751; on the London Stock Exchange. ‘The demand for our securities in Europe has been increasing since the settiementof the impeachment question, and preparations are being Made to introduce the bonds of 1867 there by par- ties on.this side, Meanwhile the public credit among our own people is stronger than it has been at any former period since the suspension of specie. pay- ments. ‘the acquittal ef tne President restored con- fidence in the politica! quiet of the country, and. the resolutions adopted by the Chicago Convention against the payment of the principal of the national debt in anything but gold, the acknowledged. stand- ard of civilized nations, doubiless dtssipated the distrust which had been inspired in some minds py the speecties of men as General Butler and Mr, Pendleton, “You will see,” said General Hawley, in formally annouacing -his vomigation to General Grant, that ihe Convention believes that integrityy simplicity and economy in governmental aiuins, are the duties of good’ citizens and honorable men. It makes the strict falfiiment of national obligations a point of honor never to be waived. What the clvil- ized world recognizes as full and final payment ie the only payment the Union party will ever consent to tender.” Before the close of the present month all but an unimportant amount of the remainder of the seven-thirty notes wil! have been funded, and the funded debt will have reached ite maximum. Thenceforward the demand for bonds ‘will be met by no increase in the supply, and the ‘whole mass will be thereby appreciated in value, It is safe to predict much higher prices for all classes of. our national securities, which are relatively cheaper than any others in the country, eatimated by thé rate of interest they pay. 1t will, moreover, be surprising if, with the present glut of idfe capital all over Europe, five-twenties continue to sell twenty-two per cent below three per cent censois in England. There is’ @ marked’ inequality between the prices of these two secnrities, which is, however, accounted fot by the low estimate we place upon the value of our securities, as shown by the current quotations for them on this side of the Atlantic. The indications yesterday afternoon ‘pointed to an immediate re- sumption of activity and buoyancy in the market. ‘The call of governments will in future take place in the room of the Stock Exchange building formerly occupied by the mining board, and the charge upon new members has been advanced to $500. The en- larged volume of business has made this change necessary to the proper transaction of the business. The gold market was firm until yesterday morn- ing, when the advance in tive-twenties in London encouraged speculation for a fall, and sales were made as low as 1393¢ against 140%, the highest point of the week, and the closing transactions were at 1393s. The volume of speculative business was considerably larger than usual of late, and there was an active borrowing demand for coin grom the ‘‘shorts.”” customs receipts at the port aggregated $1,905,007, and the shipments of specie exceedgd three millions and a half. The ‘disbursements of coin by the Sub-Treasury in pay- ment of interest on the public debt amounted to $667,000. The passage by the Senate on Friday of the bill legalizing contracts payable in coin elicited little or no remark in the gold room, although the measure is a very proper and not. unimportant one. The rail- way share market was at intervals excited and irregular, but speculation is entirely confined to the cliques and the brokers and other professional specu- lators. Rock Island was run up towards the close above 103, under the excitement attending a reported settlement of the contest between some of the stock- holders and the directors; but it will be remembered that the present directors sold the 49,900 shares of new stock at from ninety to ninety-seven before the litigation commenced, and when the capital stock ‘was $4,900,000 less than itis now. At the close of business yesterday the folowing quotations were current:—New York Céentral, 154 a 134%; Erle, 603¢ a 60%; Reading, 945 a 945¢; Michigan Southern, 90a 90%; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 87%; a 88; Cleveland and Toledo, 109 a 1093;; Rock Island, 103; Northwest- ern, 68 a 6834; do. preferred, 8014 a 80%, ; Fort Wayne, 1114 a 111). A new act of Parliament is before the British House of Lords to provide for the better regulation of railgays, one of the clauses of which makes it an offence punishable by fine and imprisonment for the officers or auditors of a company to sign accounts which they know to be faisified. A similar law in | this country would affect a good many connected { with railway companies whose stocks are footballs of speculation in Wall street, for tt is not too much to say that many railway managers make a practice of falsifying the accounts of their respective compa- nies whenever they have & purpose to serve thereby on the Stock Exchange, and the reports of railway earnings and expenditures are in many instances “cooked” to serve private interests and mislead the public, Such men well deserve fine and imprison- ment, ‘The price of the Central Pacific Railway Company’s first mortgage bonds was advanced by Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, the financial agents, during the week to 108 and the accrued interest, but the demand showed no abatement, the principal, as well as the interest, which is six per cent per annum, being payable in coin. The company has in operation more than @ hundred and fifty miles of road on both slopes of the Sierra Nevada, which distance’/includes the most dificult and costly portion of the whole line between Sacramento and Omaha. The road is now being extended towards the Salt Lake basin, the middle of which will, it is expected, be reached in about five months, end then three hundred and thirty miles will have veen completed. The Union Pacific Company, throngh ite treasurer, Mr. John J. Cisco, also advanced the price of its eix per cent in gold first mortgage bonds niore than one per cent by cutting off the July coupons and allowing interest instead until the ist of July at the rate of six per cent im currency. Apart from this change the bonds are still sold at par. Of this road about 640 miles have already been completed, although the government inspector has, we believe, only omiciaity accepted six hundret as yet. The earnings of the Central Pacific in May were $109,000 in gold against $05,828 for the corresponding month in 1867. ‘The supply of money was in excess of the demand at three per cent on government securities and four ‘on mixed collaterals, with exceptional transactions for smal! and moderate amounts at tive. There ts no perceptible increase in the supply of commercial paper offering, and the best grade continues scarce and in request at fives six per cent, The state. ment ofthe associated banks of this city for she week ending on Saturday reflects the prevatling easy con- dition of monetary affairs, and shows ‘hat the inland exchanges are still in favor of this city, although the gain of $4,342,601 in deposits and $5,f%8,275 1m Tegal tenders are offset by a decrease of $3,632,657 in specie, the result of the withdrawals for shipment to Europe. The loans, too, have tmcreasod $5,614,877, owing mainly to purchases of United states atocks by the banks for the sake of giving employment toa portion of their surplas funds, a) securities owned by them betng incioded among the loans and dts. counts, although there is no justification for Fon | pecwiar and incorrect method of compiling weekly returns, The only other change is an ins creasé of $42,505 in circulation.

In May, 1867, $2,061,806 ‘was entered for warehouseing and in 1866 $2,448,219. The imports 1n May this year were nearly @ milton larger than they were last year, and a smaler amount of the imports'was thrown into bond. ‘The stock ty. ‘warehouse is ouch lighter and hence the withdrawals from warehouse have been smaller. ‘Fhe impests of dry goods for the first five months of the enrrent. year were nine miltions legs than for the correspond- ing period last year, and the imports in both years fall largely short of those of 1865-6.
