re AC FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. wee Monpay, Oct. 19-6 P, M, ‘The gold market has been active to-day, but with- ut very decided speculative features, and the fluv- tuations were from 196% te 13734, with the closmg twansactions prior to the adjournment of the board at tree o’cloek at 137%, following which sales were made at 13734, and the latest quotation on the street was 137% @ 1377-16. There was a brisk borrow- fmg demand for coin, and loans were made Qh %, 5-16, 3-16, 0-32, 7-32, 5-32, 3-32, 24, 1-16, 1-32 end 1-64 per cent per dicm for borrowing, and afterwards ‘‘fat.” The gross clearings amonnted? te $151,457,000, the gold balances to $3,035,005 and the eurrency balances to $4,506,593, The Sab-Trea- sury disbursed $7,7721n eoin in payment of interest en the public debt during the day, and the bids for the $300,000 of coin sold aggregated lesa than op any previona occasion, namely, $1,850,000, of which $160,000 was awarded to Ward & Co., at 137 26-100 and $150,000 to Corning & Johnson at the same price, Ske imports of specie at the port from foreign Ports last week amounted to $76,003, making @ total of $6,184,768 since the ist of January, ‘The tendency of the premium is @ewnward, under the improved aspect of political Affairs, but the bears daily encounter an obstavie to their operations in the high rates which they have to pay for the use of coin. As soon as the disbursement of the November interest on the public debt is begun, however, if not before, the Noating supply of gold will be in excess of the borrowing demand, which will continue large so long a3 we have a bear mar- ket, and the indications are that in the meantime a farther deciiue will take place. The variations in the price during the day were as follow: 0 A.M. + 106%{ 2:58 P. M. 18734 20:01 A. M soe 106% 8 P.M. + 1ST 1:0 P. M. 137g 6:50 P, M. 137% The market for government securities opened very strong and active and prices at the first call were about +4 per cent higher than at the close on Satur- @ay. Alter this the investment, as well as the specu- lative demand, quickened and at the noon call there Wasa further advance of % a ¥% per cent, but at theso prices there were speculative sales to Tealize, under which @ reaction of % a % per cent took plece, and at the quarter past two call there were further sales to realize and efforts were made by the bears to promote & decline, but without material success, Subse- quentiy there was a good demand for all the issues, ‘and especially the five-twenties of 1867, and prices experienced a fractional recovery in some instances. The indications are that the present activity in our mational securities is but the commencement of a steady upward movement inthem growing out of aa improved investment demand based upon tn- ‘oreased confidence in the public credit, The reaction experienced this afternoon wags quite maturai after the recent rapid advance, and it thas strengthened the market for a fresh upward turn. It is gratifying to find that five-twentles in She foreign markets respond quickly to the advance f quotations on this side, and that the investment demand for them in Germany has quickened since the result of the recent elections was telegraphed. ‘The five-twenties of 1867 are the most actively in de- Mand both for investment and on speculative eccount, and there is also @ brisk borrowing @emand for them. The inducements to invest fm United States stocks aro strengthened by their cheapness in comparison with all other securities which are relatively very high, gailway shares being especially inflated, and a heavy #all in them is already imminent, prices being far in excess of real values, <A reaction from the rapid ad- ‘vance of last week set in this afterapon, when the actual weakness of the market became apparent, and prices yielded with a readiness calculated to inspire fear among the bulls. Erie showed especial weak- ‘Bees, under rumors of pending sales of a large amount fnew stock, and sold down to 47s, and Reading and Rock Island were also particularly heavy, ‘while a semi-paniclike pressure to sell was felt in ‘the lower hali between five and six o'clock. There ‘%s danger of a very heavy fall in most of the specula- tive railway shares, as the latter are carried mainiy ‘pon margins which are liablo to be swept away at any time, in which event thoy will be thrown upon the market for sale regardless of price, and it is needless to say that there is no demand for them out- side of Wall strect. Moncey was in abundant supply during the fore- moon at six per cent; but afterwards the demand q@uickened and at the close it was active at seven, and reports were circulated to the effect that a com- bination of bears was absut to renew its efforts to produce artificial stringency. Attention is directed to the fact that the banks of this city, according to their last quarterly returns, held only about eleven millions of United States stocks—an amount largely @isproportioned to their capital—from which it is {aferred that they will have to become purchasers of ‘te same, or, at least, that they are not in a position to be sellers, The dry goods trade to-day was dull, ‘but prices were steady.

Bor- rowers encounter a good deal of difficulty in Rego= tating loans, and, save wien money is desired for abipping purposes, there is no certainty about any one being able to obtain accommodation. A Cincinnati paper of Saturday remarks:— ‘The demand for moncy continues to increase, and the market, daily becomes more stringent, The banks are unable to fully supply the wants of their depositors, aud a larger amount of paper than usual is thrown upoa the open inarket. In bak paper 18 closely scrutinized, and rates are firm for the best grades at $ a 10 per cent, only depositors being able to obtain money at thesé rates, while m the open market 12 per cent is readily obtained on good names, ABoston journal of Saturday thus refers to the same subject:— In the money market rates remain firm. The wants of borrowers seem to be iucreasing faster than the means of lenders. Many of the banks are unabie to strictly conform to the wishes of all their customers, and those parties in want of funds who havo no claims on the banks for favors do not find individual lenders (01 je) running after them muci about these times uniess very liberal offers are made, Bay 734 to 8 per cent on the Very best paper, 83s for very good names and 9 a12 per cent for signatures not ranking at first-class, The banks are uniformly asking 7 per cent as arule, with the usual excep- tions above and belo according to circumsial well understood.

A local journal thus speaks of the growth of Pitts- burg, Pa.:—The rapid building up of our suburbs is but the natural result of the increase of the gen- eral business of the city. Within the last few years, aud especially since and during the war, the growth of Pittsburg has been unprocedented, and there never were finer or more substantial byrne in course of construction. Old houses are torn down and new business houses go up In their stead, so that the old city of Pittsburg is slowly but sureiy becoming @ place of warchouses, stores and manu- factories. And this evidence of iternal pros perity is net alone to be seen in the limits of Pittsburg or of Allegheny. The improvements in the city compel a corre- sponding improvement {n the surronncing coun. try, and especially along the lines of the several railways ase id and from the city. We need not point to Mast Liberty in proof of this, for ite growth and its residences are known to us all. Jt has taken the lead ana property has et to clty prices.

OUR RELATIONS WITH THE IN Meeting of the General Committee of the United States Indian Connaisslon—Bishop Whipple's Report. ‘The General Committee of the Commission eatab- Mshed for the purpose of defending the Indians Within the limits of the United States from cruelty and fraud assembied at nine A, M, yesterday in the rooms of the Geographical Society, Cooper Institute, to hear the report of Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, on the moral and temporal condition of the Indian tribes on the Western frontier. Upon the mecting being called to order by the Rey. Howard Crosby, who officiated as chairman, an appropriate prayer was offered by the venerable Bishop Kemper, of Wisconsin. Mr. Benjamin Fatham then presented Cy of the memorial addressed to the members of he Scnate and ilouse of Representatives in the name of the General Committee of the Coramission, which document cited the wrongs, cruelties and outrages indicted on the unfortunate aboriginals, and set forth the following among the chief causes of the wars which have entailed the loss of 60 many lives and been the pretext upon which the peoplo of the United States have been robbed of millions of hard earned treasure:-— First.—The dissatisfaction of the Indians in conse- quence of having sometimes been betrayed into the cession of their lands by pretended treaties. Second,—The constant failure of the government to bolt in good faith ils treaty obligations with the ribes. Thivd.—The frequent and unprovoked outrages and murders of Indians by soldiers and white citl- zens. Fourth.—The impossibility of obtaining justice in local courts or of punishing white criminals, for the reason that the testumony of Indians is not allowed in those courts, ‘i 7tn.—'the unlawfal occupation by the whites of t ceded nor treated for. ‘The shameful fact that of all the appropria- tions made by Congress for their benefit but a smail part ever reaches them. Mr. Vincent Colyer, the Secretary of the Commis- sion, reported that printed copies of the memorial had been forwarded to Washington and that the manner in which they had been received by the ey of the Senators and members of Congress inspit the hope that prompt and vigorous mea- sures of redress would result. The Rey. Dr. Bellows then rose, and after he had made the gratifying announcement that tle appro- prlations recently passed by Congress uad been made in consequence of the action taken by the Executive Committee of the Commission the Presi- dent requested Bishop Whipple to rea’ his report, ‘The report commenced with the sad truth that the history of our relations with the Indians, from the days ol the Pilgrim Fathers to the present time, is such as to make cvery American biush “for shame. A Christian nation has de- Eas the poor heathen of their homes, and teal of giving them tbe blessings of civilization in return, has for three centuries pursued the mer- ciless policy of exterminaiion. The nation which has sown the seeds of robbery will assuredly reap the harvest of blood, The two waves of civilization between the Atlantic and Pacific will soon meet, and unless the Indian question is settled at once on @ war will come of which this generation will not see the end. People who hear the awful tale of savage violence know ere, of the countless wr: and inhamantitics witch have driven the poor red man to desperation, and caused them to score thetr blind vengeance on the seitlers of the border. But the flendish cruel- ties and inhuman barbariiies perpetrated by the “white devils” who have brought eternal disgrace upon the nation must und shall be told. ne awful story of the fearful crimes of which those who have the conduct of our Indian irs are gut must be Lees throughout the length and readth of the land, must be told to our I ators, told from every pulpit, until the shouts of virtuous indignation shall rise from every quarter, and some effort be made to atone for the past and wipe out the damning blot which now tarnishes our national honor, Since the war of 1562 every Indian slain has cost the country over $600,000, We have sacrificed ten lives of our own people for every savage de- stroyed, and have already expended in this harvest of our iniquity more moncy than all_ the Christian bodies in America have expended for missions since America was discovered. Looki to Canada, we see the indians and whites living in friendship; we find prosperous missions, schools and churches bulit and supported by Christian Indians, and there a century has passed without one drop of blood being shed in Indian war. While we have been reaping this harvest of death @ people of our own race, with the same traditions, laws, virtues and vices, have had to deal with heathens of the same race ag those within our Territories; but how ditfer- ently they have solved the indian problem is shown by the happy results they are now enjoying—peace, loyalty and Lifelong friendship. Gn our side of the line We have not passed tweaty years without aiong and bloody Indien war. We have not 100 miles be- tween { Atiautic and Pacific) which has not been drenched with biood, and to carry out our eruci polley we have expended more than 500,000,000, The unprovoked butchery of several hundred peaceabie Indians, chieny women and children, by the bioodthiraty Colonel Chivington is enough to brand with lasting infamy any nation that could suffer it to pass un- punished. Our commuuity was shocked by the action of the British authorities in India in blowing the Sepoy mutineers /rom thelr guus; but their deeds of blood pale before the fafamous atrocities perpe- trated by the feadish Chiviagton, under the gutho- rity and inthe name of the United States. In Ru- pers Land the Engilsh government has not one solitary soldier, The white man may travel from Hudson's Bay to Vancouver's Land in peace and with @ protection AS, OF ANY Portion of English Vb hoi civiized a singie tribé, but have e minated many. Those who sell their laude become degraded and perish, Our Indian treaties are mado ostensibly to extend civilization, bnt really for the benedt of tradera to find land for speculators and fresh spoil forBthe}pockets of poilti- cal plunderers, So far from wondering that 80 fow of our Indians become Christianized 1t Is astonish- ing that they ever listen to the Gospel from the lips of a white man, The report contained numerous instances of the fidelity and friendship of the Indians towards their white friends and harrowing particu- jara concerning the barbarous treatment they have received In return, +The Rey. Dr. Bellows spoke at some length and with much warmth and eloquence, endorsing the sentiments embodied in Bishop Whippie’s report, and stating that while travelling on the Pacific had ni met one man whose diana, certain, however, that when the majority the jearned — the people true state of affairs they would compel th m- ment to abandon the Ppa iniquitous poi cA It was the character of the government and not that of the nation which is betrayed in the barbarous con- duct of Indian rs. The Rev. Dr. Osgood moved that the thanks of the mosting be to Bishop and on that motion being carried the Rey, Mr. Washburne rose and testified to the accuracy of the ‘The next speaker, the bie Kemper, of Wisconsin, was followed by Mr. Peter Cooper, who moved that @ committee be appointed to consider the propriety of Cf steps to enable Bishop Whipple to ver an ress on Indian affairs before the House of ‘On the adoption of this motion the ‘meeting ad. journed, PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Any one who tries will find italong end tedious process getting half way towards the bottom of all the curious and corrupt practices that prevail in tho institution of Quarantine, There is such a super- abundance and variety that it becomes bewildering to make any such selection as will represent the whole, In fact the undertaking would be almost as confused as seeking to show the ltmimorality of Now York city from three or four cases on the criminal calendar, Sull these three or four may give some slight Indication of the general moral liewith of the community, bat then it takes the full statstics to ex- hibit the naked condition, It has been already stated with what re'igious care the Health Oilicer nis endeavored to keep everybody but some connected with the Quarantine domain di- rectly or indirectly from visiting any of those favored vessels thut nailed from the Antiiles or the ram and molasses tsiands further south in the region of the West Indies, A captain of @ voasel, utterly disinfected, once upon a time not very iong ago employed a boatman, whose cole means of living was derived from just such sources, to ruu him out to his vessel in the Upper Quarantine, It was done. The captain and the boatman went aboard, Some soi'ed linen by permit of the Custom House officers was thrown into te boat to be taken to the city. In whe mean- time the doctor's deputy came alongside, and finding @ contraband boat with a boy in her, confiscated the pair, sent the boy down to the hospital sip in the lower bay and the boat to the Quarantine boarding station. This might appear at first sight the proper thing for the Health Officer to do, but it must be borne in mind that the vessel in estion had been already declared entirely free rom taint of infection and was about to take her departure for the city. Here 18 where the profit comesin, By drawing no line of distinction and placing every vessel that enters the harbor in one category of infections itis easy to perceive what a limitless field of operations bearing a very einister character is at the command of the Health Officer. Well, to return to the story:—The boy was kept ten. days on the hospital ship. Ie had @ good consiitu- tion and survived his incarceration, At the end of his term he was put on board the sloop Four Brothers, to be taken to the city, She sinrted late in the evening, and somewhere about midnight put in at Red Hook, in a small retired cove, directly at the back door of @ certain notorious oficial at the Lower Quarantine, ‘The captive youth on board had every opportuni! of seeing cigars, brandy, eugar, molasses, rum an bananas go ashore, and made a note in his mind of the circumstance, The Four Brothers came BP. to the city, the boy was restored to liberty, the unfortunate owner of the boat (which had been declared a trespasser) lost her profitable services for ten days, and was threatened with forty days on the hospital ship if he made him- self visible ta the waters of the Upper Quarantine again, and =< for @ quarter of a century he had been in the habit of going there on just such busi- ness as had brought him into trouble under the present peculiar management. Tho Four Brothers was first suspected at this time of being little clse than a smuggler, Red Hook was her favorite anchor- age. A deputy of Quarantine who lives there could take a box of cigars in his hand almost off her dec! in through lis back room window. Her visits were nocturnal, Her career must have been wonderfully successful. At last sho was pounced a yy the Tevenue detectives, held fora brief period, ahd for some reason or other afterwards handed back to the Quarantine oficials, The Health Officer dis- cl the captain and mate, as if to give the lin- oe that, having been awakened to a know- ledge of their secret criminality, he determined in a virtuous fit to make an example of both, Singular to relate, this ge of discarded mariners, who were supposed to the chief and only offenders, were Pet Poa PI now they operat , paid for out of the ‘people's money, in carring dead oon aa ulpasianes oi) man to an island in the East river. Why did Dr. Swinburne these men again if he believed they were the culprits in the smug- ling operation that a revenue cutter discovered and he HERALD exposed? id they Know so muca about the doctor and his deputies that it was unsafe to let them go at large?
