FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TauasDaY, August 6—6 P. M. ‘The gold market has been very strong and excited ‘to-day, and the fluctuations were from 1483, to 160, ‘with the transactions prior to the adjourn- ment of the board at 148%. The decline in the after- Roop, was owing to sales by some of the leading bulls | to realize profits, and the suddenness with which the price yielded caused them to turn from sellers to buyers to prevent a heavy break. The fact is that gold bes been run up entirely too fast of late, even supposing that speculation will ultimately carry it higher, and a vioient reaction in it ts inevitable. The mercantile community are asking why Mr. McCul- loch does not sell gold, especially now that it is Known that the President has decided not to sign the Funding bill, which placed certain restrictions ‘upon the Secretary in selling gold as respects com- missions to brokers, There was at the close of busi- ness. to-day more than sixty-five millions of coim im the Sub-Treasury in this city, and not more than fifteen millions of gus is represented by gold Certificates, 80 that there is in the actual ownership of the government more than fifty millions excl u- sive of the amounts held at all the other ports. Gold Room report has it that the total is much smaller, andin this way importers and others who have oc- casion to buy gold have been misled. It is semi- officially announced that Mr. McCulloch means to sell'a pertion of his surplus very soon, but the bulls do the Gold Roum proclaim that he dare not do so, aud that they are familiar with Treasury secrets. At the same time they are really apprehensive that he may do so and thus break down their speculation for a rise, and they watch each other with anxiety lest some one should sell out upon the rest and, in their own tanguage, smash the market prematurely. Whether the Treasury sells or not, therefore, the bulls are treading on very dangerous ground and will ultl- mately be defeated in their efforts te control the premium. Itis true that commercial and political causes have favored a firm market for gold for some time past; but there is a vast difference between this and the rapid advance we -have recently witnessed, Gold loaned to-day at from two to four and a half per oent (or carrying, and this shows that there is no scarcity of the precious metal and that the people are not hoarding it; for if they were doing #0 the rates would be in favor of the lender instead of the borrower of coin. The foreign bankers are not at present shipping gold, as even now they can buy vill8 of exchange cheaper than they can ship coin, andthe rise in gold is causing large shipments of produce that otherwise would not have been made, and/hence gold, which has risen from 140 without any special cause, will be likely to find its way back there. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $69,000 in coin in payment of interest during the day. The railway share market has been dull and hesi- tating during the day, and Erie reacted from the ad- vance of yesterday afternoon, sales having been made as low as 59%, and at the close its tendency ‘was downward. The break in Erie has inspired operators in railway shares generally with a certain degree of timidity, and the outside public will do well to leave them tothe controlling cliques under existing circumstances, tt being equally dangerous to efther buy or sell. Money continues abundant at three per cent on governments and four on mixed collaterals, the supply being largely in excess of the demand. The market for government securities was firm #nd active this moruing at a fractional advance upon the closing prices of yesterday, but it subse- quently lost the improvement and remained steady and. quiet, although an increased investment de- mand was reported. Ten-forties and sixes of 1881, after their recent advance, were neglected and lower. The disposition to convert the former into ve-twenties and realize the wide difference be- tween them is becoming general. If a five per cent bond which has possibly only six years longer to Tun is worth 109%, the five-twenties of 1868, which have at least five years to run, are worth 116, allow- ing for the difference between five per cent and six per cent interest during the time mentioned. The sujply of new gold-bearing bonds has ceased with the conversion of the remainder of the seven-thirty notes, and the effect of this in the face of a steadily increasing annual demand for investment cannot fail to be seen im materially improved quotations for the former. The shipments of five-twenties to Europe are on a much larger scale than usual, ard the indications are that these will increase rather than diminish, ‘there being @ growing demand for our securities not only in Germany, but in England and France, while here at home they are far cheaper than any other ‘stocks bearing the same rate of interest. Even the Pacific Railway bonds issued by the United States and bearing six per cent interest, payable alike with the principal in currency, are selling at 106, and allowing for the accrued interest the five-twenty bonds are but little higher—a circumstance suffi- ciently anomalous to attract attention. At the close the market was firm at the subjoined quotati: Registered, 1881, 1155 a 115%; coupon, 1881, 116 a 116%; 5-20", registered, 1862, 109% a 100%; 5-20's, coupon, 1862, 1145 a 114%; do., 1864, 110% a 111; do., 1865, 112% a 112%; do., 1865, January and July, 1085 a 108%; do., 1867, 108% @ 109; do., 1868, 108% @ 109; 10-40's, registered, 1053; a 106; 10-40’s, coupon, 1005 @ 109%; September’ com- ‘pounds, 1865, 11834; October do., 118, At the commencement of business the stock mar- ‘ket was steady and Erie sold at 624, but at the early” session of the open board it declined to 61% a 61%. At the first regular board Erie declined to 604; but in other stocks there was no material change. Erie closed 3 higher than at the same time yesterday, Reading 2, Michigan Southern 1%, Cleveland and Pittsburg 24, Rock Island %, Milwaukee and St. Paul preferred 2, Ohio and Mississippi +, and Pacific Mail %; while Tennessee sixes, ex coupon, were i¢ lower. Government securities were inactive, bute fraction higher insome instances. At theopen board at one o'clock Erie was unsettled and sold down to 60, At the second regular board the market was dull, but Reading closed 1 highér than at the first regular board, Erie 3 and Pacific Mall %, while Tennessee sixes, €x coupon, were % lower. Government se- curities were dull and 4 @ % lower. At the open board at half-past three prices were without material ohahge, Brie selling at 615, and Reading at 93% » 94. During the remainder of the afternoon Erie was weak, with sales at 605, while the general market ‘was drooping, and at the close of business at six o'clock the quotations were as subjoined:—New York Central, 180% @ 131; Erie, 60% a 59%; Reading, 93% @ 034; Michigan Southern, 86% 865; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 88% @ 88%; Cleveland and Toledo, 102% @ 103%; Rock Island, 111% 9112; Northwest- ern, 62 8 82%; do. preferred, 82 a 82; Fort Wayne, 109% @ 1105¢; Ohio and Mississippi, 30 a 304¢; Pacific Mail, 102 a 1024; Western Union Telegraph, 34% a 34%. ‘The foretgn exchange market is weak, and prime bankers’ bills at sixty days on England can be bought at 110, although settlements are made in some instances at 110%. The supply of Ger- man bankers’ bills drawn against shipments of bonds is large and they are offered treely at 109%, and sales are made as low as 1094. The current high price of gold is stimulating exports of all kinds, and before long the shipments Of breadstnffs and cotton will bring down the rates of excl to such @ point that gold will be sent from Europe to this country in the event of its being sustained at anything like ite present high point by Speculative operations instead of a legitimate de- mand. At the close bankers’ bills on England at aiaty days were quoted at 109% a 110; at three days, 1104 110; commercial bills, 1094109).

Progress ef the Political Campaign in In- diana—Congressional Noiminations—Person- alitiee—Republicau Management of the State Debt. INDIANAPOLIS, August 3, 1848, The political campaign in this State ts now un- der full headway. Both parties have a corps of speakers in the fleld, and already some very large mass meetings have been held. In addition to the usual party machinery, two auxiliary organiza. tions have been projected, which promise to be of great service. These are the “White Boys in Blue,’” @ democratic order, and the “Fighting Boys in Blue,” a republican society. Nomuinally these or- ganizations are composed of veterans of the late war; but, im reality, anybody who chooses to join may become a member. ‘These orders, turning out as they do at every pub- lie meeting with bands of music, will be effective during the campaign, and the managers of both parties, appreciating thia, are doing all they can to extend the erganizations into every part of the State. Candidates for both houses of the Legislature have been nominated in nearly all the-counties, and the Congresstonal canctidates are now in the ficld as follows :— The people of the Atate of Miasouriand of the whole country are tired of being bound to obey the dictates of their military commanders. We betieve it is time for the will of the people to be carried out. This will be done. (A voice—We'll fix that in November.”) Yes, we will settle that in November, and we will do it peaseably by the ballot, The people are now fuby aroused, and none of these men will dare to det the will of the people. Those who attempt it will come to grief, and it is time they should come to | grief. Unless ‘checked they will go on until they establish negro suffrage over this State and the Northern States as they already have in ten States of this Union. ‘They will extend a military despotiem over ail the States and negro supremacy, a3 far as the people will allow it. is fragmentary Congress and the carpet-baggers that have got into the Senaje under the auspices of this rump have already tempted to degrade the white men of all the States to & condition of inferiority to the negro, This is the main issue, The people have decided in all those States where they have enjol the Privilege of a free vote that this th can- not be; and I you that the will of the People shall be carried out in spits of the designs of these ambitious men who have trampled the consti- tution under their feet, and a republican form of fdr ed shall be guaranteed to the people of the uthero aa well as of the Northern States. But we are told that even tf the democratic party elect their President and g majority of the House of Represen- tatives, that these carpet-baggers who assume to constitute & majority of the Senate, will defeat legis- lation and will impose this ignorant and semi-bar- barous race of negroes upon the country as the su- perlor of the white man.

Ina recent editorial the Sentinel threatened vo publish the biographies of tie editors and proprietors of the Journal, threat which will either lead to a cessation of hostilities or to a succession of the bitterest edi- toriais ever published even in a Western paper. ‘The Sentinel editor says he has a mass of filth—such as ballot box stufilng, bribery of legislatora, seduction and desertion of innocent girls, &c.—to draw upon. ‘The fact of the matter is that the Sentinel men can no more afford to have their private characters ven- Ulated than can their opponents; and should they commence such @ course of action they will find ft w of Sth ay, 100. of 88th st 0x20. f 55th st, 25x60. . u of eth at, 8x30. f 56th 000 4,070 50 rreil'a special piot of lands at Fort Washington «16,897 60 1 parcel of Isnd near Fort Washingion, 520x301.7x486.10) X45.10Z1TE6 0002+. cneseencees | 24080 t routes.

In & pleasant little grove about two miles from Trenton the admirers of the manly art yesterday held a picnic for the benefit of Billy Edwards and Dooney Harris. To give the occasion a oharactet of importance the name of Joe Coburn was extensively circulated as one of the visitors, but Joe failed to put in an appearance up to four o’clock; and so the affair was, in every sense of the word, weary, stale, fat and unprofitable. About two hundred of the fast young men of Trenton comprised the assembly, to- gether with the beneficiaries. and McDougall, Fallon and Cortiss, from Philadelphia. There were a couple of sparring exhibitions between Billy and an ama- teur, but the latter, when he felt the blood agence | from his proboscis, withdrew.

THE PHILADELPHIA NAVY YARD.—A very marked contrast is now presented by the Philadelphia Navy Yard to what it was from the year 1862 to the close of the war, during which period over three thousand workmen were constantly employed in it, embracii every mechanical trade required in shipbuilding ant others incidental to the arming of vessels for the navy, besides a large force of laborers. With that num- ber men, all Cape d engaged oe bey of about twelve acres, the piace necessarily @ busy ap- When the war ceased there were three vessels unfinished at this yard, @ first rate screw steamer of over 3,000 tons and the Pushmataha, of over two thousand tons, with the iron-clad monitor Shackamaxon, among the largest constructed, and designed to be the most formidable afloat, The Pushmataha never went into commis- sion. She was launched, her machinery was put on board and she has been lying at the yard ever since, Lately she has been roofed over, and is to be sent to land for a seoure anchorage. The Shacka- maxon remains in the condition in which she was when it became known that her services would not be needed.

DiseaseD CATTLE FROM THR Waest—GreaT Mor- TALITY. ns le excitement was created in the city yesterday by the arrival from the West of a stock train’ containing a large number of cattle, ali of which seem more or less affected with the Spanish or “Texas” fever. The train consisted of eighteen cars, containing in all about three hundred head. On ita arrival here sixty-four of the animals were found to have died on the way, and during yesterd: Many that seemed tn good health were stricken wi the disease and died. The Chicago papers of Monday mention the arrival at that point of a large lot of cattle similarly affected, none of which could be sold. It is probable that these are portions of the game lot, and it wonld seem that the crowding together in the stock cars vates the disease an increases the mortality. of these cattie are from Texas, while the principal portion were brought from the Northwestern States. The Texas catile stand the fever much better than the others, but the al Goa looks very oni i Teamerivenie Ratl- road Company ve orders nol them an: further East, and’ t they will probabil; rendered into grease here.

The Rutland Herta of Wednesday says that about five o'clock Tuesday afternoon, as Daniel Balch from the door of his father’s residence to the yard, a ball struck him in the forehead, but fortu iy gianced off, inflicting @ severe jh flesh wound, bué no serious injury was done. The ball was red from 8 wea in the hands of some person at sches was at the time concealed in &® clump of bushes near the residence of Baich, and @ man was seen running from the hiding place just after the fring of the the marder’ of young diitaan bas bees postgoaed a waull Monday next. themselves in the condition of the man “who digged w pit and digged it deep,” A party out of power when on tite stump always has the advantage of the party in power. Partic! Jarly i# this the case when the ins have in any man- ner misused their power. In this State the demo- cracy want to bury “past issues,” and consequenly have but two strings to their bow—viz., “radical misrule”’ (especially as exhibited in “reconstruc- tion”) and the “financial question,” which course includes the reduction of taxes. The “green- back” panacea is not advocated quite so strongly as before the defeat of Mr. Pendleton, but it ts never- theless harped on a great deal. On the other side the republicans have their war presiize, the nominees of the New York Convention and the eontradictory words and actions of the democratic leaders out of which to make capital. But above all they have their spiendid management of the State debt to urge—an argument which toa hater of taxes, high or low, is in itself almost con- clusive. The democrats made the debt and nursed it for create years, never paying $1 of it, but continually adding to it. In 1461, when the re- publicans came into power, the legitimate debt wa more than $10,000,000, in addition to wuich forged certificates of State stocks amounting to $2,500,000 were upon the market, A few months after the republican accession to power the war broke out and $2,000,000 worth of bonds were issued to pay military expenses. During the years 1663 and 1864 the demo- crats had control of the State, but in the remaining six years the republican administration paid the war loan bonds, recovered and destroyed the forged cer- tillcates and reduced the original debt to $3,000,000, And ali this was done not only without increased taxation, but with a positive reduction, and that, too, in times when State expenditures were more than. doubled. For this argument the republicans have to thank Governor Morton, who devised and ina at measure carried out the plans by which the lebt wae paid. Speaking of Governor Morton reminds me that not only the democrats but a majority of the republicans g9 With him in the opinion that five-twenty bonds are payable only in legal tenders; if that be repudia- tion it would seem that Indiana is to be counted in, no matter which party wins the day. The Vote for the President in Virginie= The Eleeteral College Bill Versus the Con- stitution—Tirginia’s Claims to a Vote. RICHMOND, August 4, 1368, Notwithstanding the Electoral College bill to the contrary, it is the present intention of Virginia to cast her vote in the next Presidential election. The terms of this bill. do not forbid the States of Virginia, Mississippt and Texas from holding elections, but merely the counting of their votes. Thue it would seem that Congress took it for granted the votes of these States would be sent in. The nicety with which the constitution provides for the election of the President seems to guard against all contingencies that might arise from political agitation and partisan violence like the present. Congress is merely the agent in the matter, requiring only the presence of the two houses while the vote is being counted by the President of the Senate, while the other branches of the national government are altogether excluded from participation init. The constitution prescribes thet “the person having the greatest number of votes for President shail be President, if such a num- ber be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed.” Now if Virginia, Mississippi ana Texas should appoint electors as the consti- tution preseribes, can any law of Congress prevent the counting of their votes, even taking into con- sideration the present anomalous condition of affairs; for it is an acknow! fact that these are all States. It is See here it cannot, end fur- ther, should the ident of the Senate discard the votes of these States, that it will -not affect the result of the election, as it will be clearly the right of the person on @ majority of the votes to assume the functions of the President of the Unked States. Tnis, t we. has been place? by the framers of the constitution beyond the reach of accident, as an inalienable right of the States. But further than this leading organs of the democ- racy here assert the full and compdete right of Vir- ginia as State beyond dispute to cast her vote for the next President and Vice President, allowing even the Rage he mag 8 of wo the Vitel aero of Congress. During the entire war ‘was recog- nized aa a State fa the Union, havi & legal govern- ment; Congress Spoons to the Si of Virginia durtag the war for her consent to the establishment of the Staie of West Ma oy in 1865 the State rati- fied the amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery when called upon by Congress, and in 1866 ‘she rejected the Howard amendment, submitted by the same body. From all this it would L sas that Virginia was a State, even in the eyes of Congress, until the reconstruction acts, and these, it is all take away her vitality as @ State, These arguments are considered incontrovertible, and therefore an election for electors in this State may be looked for in November, with what results the future must de- cide, For this clection the code of pingiaia proviass Angust that the Governor shall, before the lat of quadrennially, SFT toe three commissioners for each county, who shall appoint three commissioners at each place where @ poll is held, and in the case of tl vernor faliing to act, a8 he has done, the fol- lowing section provides:— fFany one of sald commissioners shall attend and be willing to act aasociate with himself as commis- sioner any a 2A for the commonwealth residing in the county or corporation, or any justice thereof who may be Fisica pares to and, if there be none auch, any reehoider who may be present. Ai Bone of the commia- sioners attend, or none should have been appointed, then any two justices wiliing to act shall be if iuere be not two such 3 holders present and In accordance with this prov sion an electoral ticket will be nominated, as has already been done by the radical party in the State, and the election will be heid, 80 say the organs of the democracy here. It i# considered a duty and as such will not be shirked. Another Speech from the Democratic Candi- date for the Vice Presidency. General Biair was serenaded at St. Joseph, Mo., last Saturday evening.

The Richmond Whig offers the following advice to its friends in the South: — We of the South should be wary and circumspect. As the canvass is just opening—a canvass upon which all our hopes ef relief and redemption de- pend, we should studiously abstain from saying, writing or doing anything that can be tortured into evidence of such a design. The battle is to be fought by the Northern democracy, and we should not com- mit the folly of crippling their arm. We leit the convention, nominations and tie platform to them, and for the same reasons we should leave to them the pena of the campatgn. Let us resolve that it shall not hereafter be alleged against ua that our passion or indiscretion lost them tne victory and us and our posterity a participation in ita benefits. The Richmond Enquirer, touching upon the duty of the white men of the South in the present can- Vaas, SYS: In what is regarded abroad as a very unsettled condition of affairs consequent upon the revolution we have just passed through, every sane man in America cannot fail to recognize the premonitory symptoms of anarchy, and, in ao doing, feel that no future act of contri can atone for a false step in November. If the American people fail to elect a democratic President, they know that they wantonly leave their place among nations and plunge beneath the level of the most iniquitous af the medieval pow- ers, from which poaition they can never rise, but must continue to sink until every vestige of their former glory is obscured in misery, despotism and infamy—an object for the derision and contempt of the whole world. Hon. Edwin H. Ewing, of Tennessee, writes to the editor of the Nashville Banner a letter on the pre- sent crisis in that State, in which he remarks:— It is expedient sometimes to submit to unconsti- tutional and oppressive enactments for a time rather than appeal immediately to the ultimate arbiter; but where the Legislature has become by accident, as- sumption and force possessed of power which it uses as the mere instrument of a faction, where the courts have become tts creatures and the mere regis- ters of its edict, where all the executive offices are filled by the ministers of this faction—where, in one word, the whole State has got into a groove in which, whatever the consequences, it must run forever without some irregular and ecstatic exertion, then a time has come in which the people must relieve themaelves by direct and immediate action under the first clause of the constitution of the State. Jf such action should be resisted by force, that force should be repulsed, A time comes in the history of eople occasionally where to submit to oppression invites its increase, and where the consequences are more grievous than any that can arise from resistance—a time when men look upon danger with contempt, and upon life itself with indifference. That point is almost reached in Tennessee. The denial of the right of voting to the great mass of the intelligent wealth of “the State, upon the pretence that the allowance of such a right would endanger the public peace and liberty, 18 too flimsy to demand a serious argument to contradict it. The decision of the Supreme Court, declaring the franchise law constitutional, as an argument and opinion is beneath all contempt. I would review if it were worth a review. Even this does not sustain the law as a righteous or politic one, but declares tt only to be within the competency of the Legislature. These are my opinions; let them be taken for what they are worth. I do not counsel force, Such counsel, if to be given, must come from younger and more energetic men—men who can be actors as well as advisers, 1 will, however, express the opinion that the Legislature has no constitu- tional power, under pretence of calling out the mili- tia, to establish a standing force of armed men, by whatever name they may choose to call it. And I will say further, from my observation of the feelin; and opinions of the people of the State, that the readiest way to get up that very civil war which the radical party profess to deprecate is to attempt to tnangurate such a force. Political Notes. The Cincinnati Gazette says that information is wanted of s $20 gold coin, somewhat worn, which one Vallandigham carried in the political campatgns during the war, and which he was wont, at every speech he made, to hold up to the crowd and to call their admiration to it as the democratic money, and to hold up to contempt a greenback note in compart- son therewith, as the rags which they had to take for money since republicans came in. The aforesaid coin was lost to view some time ago, and since then the exhibitors have been praising the beauties of the greenbacks. Some of the Western editors are decidedly complt- mentary. William T. Dowdall, an Iilinois editor, having read Brick Pomeroy out of the democratic party, the latter replies by calling Dowdall an ‘idiotic, awill-headed chunk.” Whereupon Dow- dail calis Brick a “Pandemontac Paste-pot Cut- throat.”” The republican nominations for Congress in Michi- gan are complete, as follows:—First District, Fer- nando C. Beaman; Second, General William L. Stoughton; Third, Austin Blair; Fourth, Thomas W. Ferry; Fifth, 0. D. Conger; Sixth, Randolph Strick- jand. Beaman, Blair and Ferry are present Repre- sentatives, ‘There is a very general unanimity of sentiment in the leading party organs respecting Mr. Seymour's letter of acceptance. All the democratic papers praise it highly, while all the republican journals condemn it.” Such is party. Judge Aldrich, who had a democramec reception in Charleston a few days ago, said:—‘This is @ grand contest in which we are engaged—a contest for con- stitutional liberty, and it was the coptest in which we have been engaged since 1861.’ . The Western papers are emulating their Eastern brethren in the use of choice epithi We findin leading Detroit paper such editorial expressions as “thieves,” “Hara,” “idiots,” “scurrilous pimps,” &c.
