8 : ag eee FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. wee Tavrspay, Oct. uh ie 2 14 market opened weak this morning, Pigeon sales ct made at 135% @ 135%, whieh proved to be the hizhest point of the day, there hav- tng deen a steady decline from this point to 13574, Sotlowing which tnere was a reaction to 13534, and She closing transactions prior to the adjournment ef the board at three o'clock were at this price. Afterwards there was more dispo- sition shown to buy than to sell and the latest qmotation on the street was 13555 & 135%. Cash gold eentinued to increase in abundance, owmg mainly to the prevailing monetary stringeney, and loans were made without interest to either borrower or Jender and at 1-64, 1-32 and 3-64 per cent per diem ‘and two per cent per annum for borrowing, as well as at rates varying from one to three per cent per annum for carrying. The gross clearings amounted ‘to $120,207,000, the gold balances to $1,822,544 and ‘the currency balances to $2,937,936. The Sub-Trea- gury disbursed $6,880 in coin in payment of interest en the public debt during the day and sold $300,000 in eoin, the bids for which aggregated $1,500,000 at rrices ranging from 125 38-100 to 185 57-100. The steamer Deutschland took out $2,000 in specie, and the Rising Star, from . Aspinwall, brought $226,292 in treasure. It is reported that the Treasury is about ‘to sell a much larger amount of gold per day than it has latterly reeeived bids for, m order to replenish ‘its currency balance, which is at present unusually Jow; but the premium hes already undergone such a heavy decline that a further material break is improbable under existing circumstances. The price varied as foliows at interval! 32:01 P. M. 18534 5 P.M... There wa? no abatement of the monetary strin- gency noted yesterday, and seven per cent in gold was freely bid for loans, and in not a few instances seven per cent in currency and a commission of an eighth per cent was paid, while much difficulty was experienced in borrowing even at these rates. Towards three o'clock the pressure diminished somewhat, owing to borrowers having Previonsly provided for their wants, and ® report was simultaneously circulated to the effect that there was to be “a let up” in money, caused by the parties engaged in the locking up of greenbacks relaxing their efforts to produce strin- gency, and a rush to buy stocks was the result. Upos inquiry at the banks, however, we could find nothing to justify such an expectation, none of the Fands locked up by unpresented certified stocks hav- ing been disengaged, and no currency previously ‘Withdrawn having been returned, while bank officers are almost without exception averse to encroaching upon their legal reserve, and it may be regarded a3 certain that they will not voluntarily break into it in order to relieve the present excep- tional pressure, however desirable for Wall strect and the business community such a measure of relief might be. Bank managers urge as a reason against it that they are now sending currency to the South and also to the West, and that they will soon have ‘te meet the demands of the pork and cotton crops, aud that an active demand for money at or near the Yegal rate will be experiencied during the re- mainder of the year. They further apprehend Mat the unusually low amount of currency ‘tm the Treasury will cause the department to resort to whatever means it has at its disposal for in- creasing the same, and that in this way the supply of Jeanable funds at the disposal of the banks will be further curtailed. The operations of the conspira- tors to make money scarce were further seen in the Feturns of the banks at the Clearing House this Morning, five of the barks, including the Union, the ew York, the Commonwealth and the Third Rational, having been creditors to the extent in the aggregate of nearly four millions. The railway share market was bid up by the bull eliques in the fact of the stringency, but prices are 80 far above real values that a heavy break is liable te occur at any time, whether money becomes more Qbundant or not, It is understood that a former ‘@irector of the Erie Company and a prominent Wall street operator is the leading bear im it at present, nd it is confidently intimated that the com- Pany’s acceptances for two millions of dollars, which fall due on tle ist of January mext, will be aishonored, the main object of fhe speculative ex-director being, it is supposed, to embarrass the affairs of the company, now that he has no longer a voice in its councils, and in view of ‘this it 1s feared that much of the stock hitherto heid eff the market on English account will be sold, the expectations of the holders having been disap- Pointed. Mr. Henry Keep has published a eard in which he denies being in any Way a party to the movement for lock- ing up greenbacks, and corrects the faire tmpression which might be formed from certain ramors which have been circulated, but which we were aware at the time had no foundation in fact. Government securities opened weak at a slight de- eiine from the lowest prices of last evening, but they Gradually advanced to the extent of one per cent by ‘the quarter-past two call, after which they began to Yeact downward under a moderate pressure of sales, ‘and at the close prices were about 34 per cent below the highest point touched. At the commencement of business the stock mar- Ket was firmer than at the close last evening, and at the early session of the open board Erie sold at 46%; Kew York Central, 12644; Fort Wayne, 114, and Rock Island, 1057. At the first regular board prices con- tinued to show an improving tendency, and on the call New York Central closed % higher than at the game time yesterday, Erie \, Reading 1, Michigan Southern %, Cleveland and Pittsburg 134, Cleve- land and Toledo %, Rock Island %, Northwestern 4, Go. preferred \, Fort Wayne 1), Milwaukee and St. Paul preferred 1, Ohio and Mississippi 4s, Pacific Mail %, Canton \, Western Union Tele- graph %, North Carolina sixes 1, and new issue \.

During the remain- Ger of the afternoon the efforts to sustain prices were continued, and at the close at six o'clock the sub- Joined quotations were curreat:—New York Central, 428 )4; Erie, 4776; Reading, 98% a 99; Ohio and Missis- Sipp! certificates, 3154 a 31%; Michigan Southern, 8814 #68 % ; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 89 a 89%; Rock Island, 107% & 1074; Northwestern,92); a 92%; do. preferred, 934 a 0544; Fort Wayne, 115%; Milwaukee and St Pani, 10434; do. mreferred, 108% 9 105%; Mariposa Preferred, 237; a 24. ‘The market for government securities closed steady at five o'clock at the following quotations:— Registered, 1881, 114% @ 115; coupon, 11534 a 1153 6-20's, registered, 106 a 106}4; do., coupon, 1862, 1 @ 113)¢; do., 1804, 111% @112; do., 1865, 111% a 112; G0., new, 1865, 110% 9 110%; do., 1867, 110% a 110%; Go., 1868, 111 & 111)4; 10-40's, registered, 104 a 104) o., coupon, 106% & 106.

Money been sharp seven ail day, and, although most supplied themselves at that rate, still gold in- been paid and seven per cent currency, with commission. It was noticeable, however, that many provided for their wants early in the day and thus relieved the market of that great strain which has for the past two days set in about midday. Bonds have been in good request all day, buyers aak- ing but small concessions between cash and regu- Jar, and a dieposition i# manifested to take stock at R nt prices with fol! confidence in ultimate profit. ome who had money to loan have invested in gov- ernments and thus earn a better interest than even the present money market asfords, At the noon call bonds were better hy 4 per cent over fret board NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. prices, and a ‘Ler: twi a marked Ihprovamant over te day tnrcughow he et. 1628 wold at 1334 13% at and 67's at lilas Wa l0%.

Erie A Cincinnati journal of Tuesday says of the lecal money market:— ‘The money market 1s very strin; ‘With @emand for loans and ‘tie iy torment in tne has been the lightest day for that has been experienced during the year. The bankers take as little paper as possible, and only from depositors whose claims cannot be ignored, at eight and ten per eent. In the open et_the amount of paper offered is very large, and much of it of a character which is seldom seen on the street. Rates of interest are of secondary importance, 1% a1 r cent per month being paid readily, and it ts difficult to obtain much money even at these rates. The receipts of exchange are large and increasing, and although there ts a fair mercantile demand the market is heavy under an excessive supply. A Chicago paper of the same date remarks:— Business at the banks is rather quiet, but there is &@ very active demand for money from all quarters— chiefly, however, from the grain and lumber inter- ests—and the loan market is exceedingly close and firm, with no disposition to accommodate any but those whose general accounts entitle them to favors when wanted. Rates of interest remain unchanged. ‘The receipts for customs and the receipts, pay- Tents and balances at the Sub-Treasygy in this city for the expired portion of the week have been a3 follows:— Custom House, —-——-Sub-Treasury.-———— Receipts. ts.

THE NORFOLK COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. ‘land Star Closing Seenes—The Fire Parade—The Ball— The Excursion to the Capes—Incidents at the Fort—Carroll Hall and Davis’ Casemate Visited—The Torchiight Procession. NORFOLK, Oct. 17, 1868. ‘The last hours of the Commercial Convention here were marked by the utmost harmony and good feel- ing among the representatives of so many interests that it would be supposed might have a conflicting tendency, and would consequently create a division of epinion upon the important subjects under con- sideration. Such, however, was not the case. Asa distinguished journalist remarked, though it was a sad commentary upon the present condition of the South to witness the representatives of several of its States vainly striving to subscribe on the spot the Pitiful sum of $300,000—a sum that a single New York capitalist could lend without the slightest inconvenience. About one-half, however, of the re- quired capital stock was then and there subscribed, and the following resolutions, offered by General Ma- hone and passed, it is presumed will secure the re- mainder at an early day:— ~ Resolved, That the several delegations to this Convention ‘be and they are hereby requested to canvass in their resp. {ive communities the subject of subscription to the ‘enerprise legations m report pro- fess 0h provisional o infzations asshall be made of the international Commereial Company of the elty of, Norfolk. Resolved, That Judge Shackleford be and he 1s hereby re- quested to éxercise bis able influence in such, dirgetion as he may seem to deem proper for obtaining material aid Of the great object, Resoived, That the commissioners named in the charter of the International Commercial Co1 of the city of Norfolk be and they are hereby requested to call a meeting of the sub- ribers at some central point at ‘as practicabl wih itsation of the nd ‘with a view to a provisional organia: ‘of the company an: to the end that effective means may be had for securing the full amount required to put the enterprise upon s permanent footing. Besides a sumptuons collation prepared dally ina large hall, a parade of fire compantes, a \d torch- it on, @ ball at the Ocean mouth, and an excursion to the capes were the amusements provided for the commercial visitors. ‘The fire parade was very creditable. Five companies turned out in full uniform, with their engines, hose carr and all the appointments of such a depart- ment, in the oe — most complete Laren ae “ march throug! principal streets the different companies repaired to Market Hall, where a colla- tion had been ally prepared for them.

Not to be outdone in liberality by her Bister otty, Portsmouth generously got up a grand ball at the Ocean House in honor to the delegates to the Con- vention. The large room in which it was given was beautifully and handsomely decorated with festoons of evel ns, the choicest flowers of the sunny South, and flags and banners on which were appro- priate commercial mottoes. The youth and beauty of both cities thronged the ballroom. The festivities were kept up until the small hours of the morning, when the guests were conducted into an adjoining apartment, where a supper that was suiptuous greeted-the sharpened appetites of the party. The managers of the affair, were satisfled the people were pleased, and the guests were charmed and delighted. At nearly four A. M. the ball broke up. The grand event of the occasion, however, was the excursion to the capes. The steamers Lady of the Lake, the rd ag Leary, the Eolus, Gazelle and others, crowde: ith delegates and citizens, left their wharves at about ten A. M. on Friday morning. The day was cloudy and the atmosphere a littie murky, which preladed the possibility of a good look at the many points of bistoric interest that were passed. The wharves and shipping are soon left in the distance, and in quick succession the fleet glides t Pinner’s Point and Boush’s Bluff (two old rebel Batteries). Tanner's creek and Lambert's Point, the one forming the other and the latter also an old earthwork, are next in view. Then comes Craney Island, the history of which is familiar to nearly very American, because of its heroic defence ia $12 against the British by the soldiers of Norfolk, and its subsequent occupation by the Confederates during the first year of the war and afterwards by the Union armies. Newport News then looms up, and as the place is mentioned @ rush is made to that le of the boata affording the best view of the spot where the memorable encounter occurred between the Merrimac and the Congress and Cumberland, Seweil’s Point comes next in order, the place from which the first gun was fired when the Monticello made her appearance in Norfolk harbor. Passing between the Rip Raps, which siowly but steadily rises from the water, and Fortress Monroe, the fleet headed for the capes, one of the vessels touching at the tort to take on board General Barry and stail; but that being the day for general review and inspection the General courteously deciined in the following note:— Four Monnor, Va., Oct 16, 1368. Manonaue Panws, Beq.:— Drax Sti beg to thank you in the, name of the offcers and ladies for your polite invitation to the exctrsion this morning.

M., and I shall be on the wharf at that hour with my staif to’ receive d and your vieuta.” Tt retaainy dear att, very reapectfully, your obedient Servant, Wats F. BARHY, Brevet Maj Geu. U. & A. With the immense crowd on board, some of whom had never seen such a wide expanse of water before, aud who had never experienced the sad realities o: a ride on the rolling deep, the fleet soon were off the capes, where the swell was heavy and sea sickness consequent. . Many ludicrous scenes were enact one individual asking the captain to put him off an he would walk back. After @ considerable exhi- bition of “heaving up” was had and Willoughby’s Spit Ughtehip passed, the fleet pouted and made again for the fort. As it neared the visitors were startled by the thunder of a salute that came from the grim ramparts of the fortress. Geuerai Barry, accompanied vy his staff, received the visitors at the wharf, and offering his arm to Mr. Geo. W. Bolling, President of the Commercial Convention, escot them to the fort. As before stated in the HERALD all points of interest were visited, the troops reviewed, the rapid hepa | of gms and caissons, the jutting of a monster fiiteen-inch in battery and Poading of the ball weighing 1, pounds and the charge being 450 pounds of power, and all sorts of small arms were inspected by the visitors, General Barry and staff were assiduous in their attentions to the numerous crowd and courteously explained the use of the arms in the fort, often illustrating by one or drill, The beauty of the inner grounds of the fo ‘was @ matter of intense surprise to the visitors, many of whom expected a second Sumter or Moui- trie in barrenness and extent, Carroll Hall, one of the handsomest buildings in the fort, excited a good deal of in and many remarked that they would not object to prisot in such quarters, with fo walk bout, for al ed p liberty Davis’ casemate was next rushed to, and impression juced by Carroll Hall was at once banished as crowd looked into the gloomy dun- The hour for leaving having arrived General Barry escorted the crowd to the wharf, and & general farewell, the visitors alving Si a ing cheer,*the boats cast off and left for Norfolk, which they Bb soak ~ are eS to sdjournment in session that evening and prior the Convention unanimously passed the following resolutions: — Resolved, That the thanks of the Convention be retarned to the corporate authorities of the cities of Norfolk and Ports- mouth and to the private eltizens thereof for the munificent hospitality extended to the members of the Convention. Recond, the Convention likewise desires to express its y extended {ts members by the owners ‘and officers of th boat in the excursion to-day and to General Barry, commanding Fortress Monroe. The torchlight procession was a very brilliant af- fair, and though there was @ great deal of tiptop— not pinctop—whiakey drank no disturbances marred the pleasure of the occasion, and the next morning SAW a majority Of the visitors Jeave Nor ke oI sense of the court Important Opinion of the Court of Appeais, Thomas D. Green, nt, vs Wiliam H, Shumway and Damon Coates, Impleaded with Francis A. Thayer, Appellants.—Appeal from judg- ment of General Term of the Sixth district reversing Judgment in favor of de¥endants. The complaint alleged that, pursuant to the cons stitution of the State of New York and an act of the Legislature, passed in March, 1867, a lawful election was held throughout the State on the 23d day of April, 1867, for the purpose of choosing delegates to meet in convention at the capitol on the first Tues- day of June, 1867, to revise the constitution of the State and to amend the same. That each qualified elector was entitled to vote for dele- gates at large and for delegates chosen in the Senatorial district in which he might reside; that the plaintiff was a native born, white citizen, of full age, and a resident of the Third ward of the city of Syracuse, which constitutes an election district; that the defendants were inspectors of election for. said ward; that the plaintiff wasa duly quaitfied elector in said district on the 23d day of April, 1867, and entitled to vote; that after the defendants had entered upon the duties of their office as inspectors and had duly opened the polls of such elec. tion on the day aforesaid the plaintiff offer. to vote and presented a ballot for that purpose, and requested the defendants to receive the same; that the defendants fully intended to deprive him of his rights and franchises as a citizen, re! to receive the ballot so offered, and would not and did not permit the plaintiff to vote at the election, who claims $1,000 damages. The answer of the defendants, Shomyray and Coates, who appeared, recites and alle; vhat by the said act of the Legislature of this State, men- tioned and referred to in said complaint, the quaiifi- cation of electors for the election of Senatorial dele- gates and delegates at large to mect in convention to revise and amend the constitution is prescribed, with the provision that no person shall vote at said election who will not, if duly challenged, take and subscribe the following oath, to wit:—I (A. B.) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never vol- uniarily borne arms against the United States since 1 have been a citizen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no ald, countenance, counsel or encourage- ment to persons engaged in armed hostilty thereto; that I have neither sought, nor accepted, nor at- tempted to exercise the functions of any ortice what- ever, under any authority or pretended authority, im hostility to the United States; that I have not yielded @ Voluntary support to any pretended government authority, power or constitution within the Unit States hostile or inimical thereto, and did not wil- fully desert from the military or naval service of the United States or leave this State to avoid a draft during the late rebellion. The defendants then allege that at the time of the offering of his ballots for the election of delegates the plaintiff was duly chatien; as an elector of said district, and required to take and subscribe the oath; that the oath was read to him, and he refused to take the same, and upon such refusal the defend- ants refused to receive the ballot and deposit it im the boxes prepared for that purpose, because the lainti® thus refused, and returued same to him. Fie plaintir ‘demurred to the answer, The Special Term, upon argument, sustained the demurrer, and ordered that the oi tbe dis- missed, with costs. Upon Bp eal to the General Term the order of the Special Term was reversed and judgment ordered for the plaintiff on the demur- rerand the assessment of dam: with leave to amend. The damages were stipulated at flity dol- lars and the defendants appealed to this court. Judge Miller, in delivering judgment, said that this case involves the constitutional validity of that por- tion of the act to provide for a convention to revise and amend the constitution of this State which ex- cludes from the privilege of voting aM who refuse te take the test prescribed by the act in question. I think that the oath in question was unconstitu- tional and invalid for the reasons which I will pro- ceed to state. The first subdivision of the tenth section of article of the consti- tution of the United States provides that “no State shall pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law or law impairing the obligations of cont or grant any title of no- bility.” ‘The provision of the act which ts to be con- sidered declares that no person shall vote at the election for delegates to said convention who Will not, uf duly challenged, take and subscribe an outh that he has not done certain acis mentioned therein, and inflicts the penalty of political disfranchisement, without any prelim! ‘examination or trial, for a refusal to take said oath. By this enactment the citizen is Gopetton. upon declining to conform to its mandate, of a right guaranteed to him by the consti- tution aud the laws of the land, and one of the most inestimable and invaluable privileges of a free gov- ernment. ‘There can be ho doubt, 1 think, that to de- prive a citizen of the privilege of exercising the elective franchise for any conduct of which he has previously been guilty is to inflict a punishment for the act done. ‘When the act in question was passed by lature there was no law in this State which con- demned or characterized the conduct which is pun- ished in this act by depriving the citizen of the right of suffrage. ‘This law @ new crime, and makes an offence which did not previously exist. It punishes for an act which was not a criine wher committed. But even if the alleged offences incor- rated in the oath prescribed were known to the eda the statute in question, in violation of the rules of the common law, pronounces judgment of condemnation without evidence, without any oppor- tunity to defend against the charge and without atrial. It makes the party the accuser of himyelf, and his refusal to Rousts himseif for any cause, hie own condemnation. {t punishes for an offence be- fore na accusation is made and a trial Lege emaperge Ca according to the constitution and the laws of land, It compels him, in direct violation of the fifth aimendment of the constitution of the United States, “to be a witness against himself,” ‘That the federal constitution 1s violated by the pro- vision of the act to which I have refe! Tentertain no doubt. It is essentially, in the particulars indt- eated, both a vill of attainder, or of pains and penal- ties, and an ez post sacto law. Tam also of the opinion that the statute in Sd tion violates the constitution of the State of New bid first section of the second article of the consti- tution prescribes the qualifications of electors, whe shall be entitled to vote “for all officers that now or hereafter may be elected by the peopie.”” The second, section of the thirteenth article pro- vides for the submission of the question whether a convention shail be called ‘to the electors qualified to vote for members of the Legislature, and in case @ majority of the electors so qualified voting at such election shall aecide in favor of such convention for such a purpose, the Legislature shall provide for the election of delegates to such convention.” This clause does not confer upon the Legislature any power to create disabilities not existing at the time under the constitution, or to restrict the right of sui which the consiitution has established. It would be extra- ordinary if the Legislature had the right to deter- mine who were entitied to the privilege of voting, and thus, in the exercise of an unlimited discretion, be able to disfranchise any claas of citizens when the right is already clearly established. Such & power would be liabie to the grossest abuse, danger- ous in the extreme, and obviously was never in- tended to be conferred. It is evident, I think, thas the above section, specifying the qualification of electors to upon the question whether or not ‘here shall be a convention, plainly imports that the same electors, and no others, are qualified to vot for delegates, and any disfranchisement of any por- tion of said electors is @ violation of this section and therefore void. wehe statute also violates section 1 of article 1 of the constitution of this State, which declares that “no member of this State shall be disfranchised or deprived of any of the rights or privileges secured, to any citizen thereof unless by the law of the land or the judgment of his peers.” The ‘aw of the land’? does not mean a statute passed for the purpose of working the wrong, but the law which existed at the time when the alleged oifence was perpetrated. ‘The provision was intended to restrict the powers of, the Legislature and to prevent any act which would deprive a party of his rights or disfranchise him un~ til it was ascertained judicially that they haa been forfeited. The act in question pronounces a judg- ment and disfranchises the elector without judge or. jury or La - the — required by the ordinary ise of I roceediny ort also violates section xix of article one, which declares that no person shail be held to answer ~s a crime except on presentment of a grand jury, ani the second section of the same article, which secures the right of trial bray in all cases in which it has heretofore been held inviolate. ‘These objections are too apparent to require an extended discussion. It 18 manifest that the case was properly decided by the General Term, and tho fodgmene. reversing the judgment of the 5 ‘Term overruling the demurrer and dismissing the complaint must be affirmed with costs. Ail the judges concurred in the opinion of Judge Miller excepting Judges Hunt, Woodruif and Mason, the latter of whom wrote a dissenting opinion.
