NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1868. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. | States Express, 44}; {2 46; Merchants’ Union Ex- Farpay, Dec. 11-6 P. M. « Gold opened this morning at 136%, sold up to B38 and deciined to 135%, at which figure it closed. The market was heavy throughout the day, and, although in the morning somewhat steady, holding Strong up to 156, yet im the afternoon, under the Bressure of large sales by timid operators, who were Of @ still further decline, or others induced by sShe high rate paid ior carrying—as high as seven ‘Per cent—it broke and fell off quite rapidly. |, There do not appear to be any special causes ‘Operating to bring about this decline other than those Stared, as exchange 1s high, almost up to the specte- ‘@bipping point, and the debt statement, as published jy Mr. McCulloch, is generally regarded as generally ‘Qnfavorable to the idea ofan early resumption of specie Ps. poses ‘The total debt less cash in the Treasury imcreased $11,552,316, The currency in the ; has increased $7,738,913, resulting princl- jpauy from the sales of gold, which latter hasde- $14,982,611. The total amount of gold in the ‘at present 19 $88,325,874, Against this are gold certificates outstanding to the amount of over jPwenty-three millions and 9 quarter, thus limiting the mount of gold actually at the command of the gov- ernment to something over sixty-five millions. The Teceipts forthe first week of the present month have been sold, and the amount likely accrue for the balance of the month estimated at ten millions, which would make amount of government gold on the 1st of January, round numbers, about seventy-five millions, From will have to be deducted the coin interest on the debt due at that time—about thirty millions— h will then ieave at the disposal of the govern- i t with other engagements to be metin coin, only Torty-five, miliions, against ® greenback circulation three hundred and a@ half millions, besides many ns of nutional bank notes. Viewing the r in this light, many operators are pre- to avail themselves of a depreciation the government bonds abroad, as a conse- uence of the discussion of the subject of the wmption of specie payment having but One result, demonstrating more clearly the arrassed state of the public finances, and it is ed in some quariers that the decline in gold lay Was mainiy brought about for the purpose of ing large purchases at a low figure, to be used taking up our bonds in Europe, should they fall off as is anticipated. Tne transactions at the Exchange Bunk to-day comprised the follow- :—Gross clearings, $47,743,000; gold balances, $1,692,810; currency balances, $2,364,426, yw Money was remarkably active to-day and firm at even per cent, wiih fewer exceptions at six. The in ofcurrency to the South and West still con- and is mainiy the cause of this hardening rates here. This stringency was most le early in the day, when in a general anti- of an active inquiry money was held high. the day advanced and it was found that the sup- , although not excessive, was fully equal to the demands of a dull market, the rate weak- and in the aiternoon was comparatively easy 7, and exceptional ioans were made at 6. The for commercial paper is dull and rates nomi- at 7a 9 per cent for short acceptances with first mames. Foreign exchange is steady on the jis of 10054 for prime bankers’ 60 days, and 110%, short sight, The other rates are:—Sterling, 60 commercial, 108% a 100%; Paris, sixty days, 20 @ 5.1634; short sight, 5.13% a 5.1334; Antwerp, ® 5.1634; Switzerland, 6.20 @ 6.16%; Hamburg, % @ 8654; Amsterdam, 40% a 41%; Frankfort, 40% ® 46; Bremen, 78% @ 79; Prussian thalers, 714 a 72. > Govefnments were unsteady to-day and dull, ex- wept at the last board, when ’67’s to the amount of '$500,000 were sold at 110. The market hasbeen heavy @or the past few days, and was so to-day up to the ‘ime stated, when » feeling of timidity, arising from general decline of values on the Stock Exchange, jnduced holders to let go, and sales were made at lower rates. At the first board prices were steady, ‘with very little doing, '62’s selling at 110%, ’64’s at or, "66s at 107%, 67's at 110%, and Pacifics at 99%, ‘the market closing firm. Between call '67’s sold at §103<, and remained steady fora time at 3, bid, buyer sthree, and offered at +, seller three, At the noon cal! Business was light and prices nominal. The last witpeased the only excitement of the day, 62's at 110%, 64's at 107, 65's at 10774, 67's at 103, and as above stated at 110. We have before ted out the influences which operate to ade- ation of the price of governments, viz., the ‘discussion of schemes variously calculated to en- hance or reduce their ultimate value, and ,in this ‘connection it may be remarked that next to the im- perative duty of Congrcas dealing with the financial icuity now presented to them for solution in a , comprehensive, statesmanlike and sound, asiness manner is the necessity of approaching the deration of the several questions involved in issue in @ liberal and intelligent spirit, ith @ full understanding of its numerous Antricacies, and the comp lex relations of commercial tions. There should be no tinkering, and, pore ai, this matter at least should be kept out of jough of party politics. Itis dificult to foresee ser the future of this market may be; the outside ublic at present keep themselves aloof, and large orders to sell are necessarily executed at conces- @ions, which in turn react in producing diatruat. The qmarket this evening closes better than it promised ‘during one portion of the day, the following quota- @ions at five o'clock showing a much improved —United States 6’s, 1881, registered, 100% @ 110; jo,, coupon, 114% & 114K; do. 6-20's, registered, 106, & 106%; do., coupon, 1862, 110% a 111; do., do., 1864, 107 @ 107%; do., do., 1865, 107% a 108; do., do., ', 1865, 110 a 1103¢; do., do., 1867, 111 a 11134; do., 10,, 1868, 11034 @ 110%; do, 10-40's, registered, 103% a 4; do., do., coupon, 10534 a 10534; Unitea States Pacific Railroad, 90% a 9034. 4 State bonds were dull to-day, without much change rates. North’Carolinas are still suffering from the oubt which exists respecting the payment of the ‘January interest, while similar cloud rests upon jeasees pending the action of the State Legisia- fare on the Omnibus, or Gridiron, bill. Sales of both tere light. An active inquiry continues for South old 66's and '66’s. The following were the losing quotations in the regular board:—Tennessce 4, CX coupon, 68% @ 63%; do., new, 67% a 67%; @s, ex coupon, 55 @ 55%; do., new bonds, ‘e744 a 58; North Carolina 6's, 64 8 64%; do., new ‘Ponds, 61 8 6134; Missouri 6's, 803¢ a 8055. 1" The main characteristic of the stock market to- aay was dulness, New York Central, Northwestern ommon and preferred and Rock Island being the ly stocks which showed any excitement, Shortly after the morning call a movement was started in ‘Krie, on the strength of the published announce- ent of the lease of the Atlantic and Great Western way. It was also rumored that the directors had rotired the 200,000 shares issued by them in excess, As an effort of the clique to make @ market that Would give them an opportanity to “unload,” which it wae nerally regarded to be, the movement, how- er, was a failure, the stock, after advancing to 40, ‘receding to 38%. Sales were made at 397%, but ax ‘some of the representatives of the clique were said ‘go be purchasers that was likewise recognized as {betng another part of the bull effort. It should be Yorue iu mind by the outside public that nothing “which bas occurred within the last few days has ma- ‘@eriaily altered the situation of affairs in respect to ‘this stock. If the lease of the Atlantic and Great ‘Western Ratiroad tias been consummated by the Present direction it is question how far thoy possess any authority in the ‘premises, in view of the legal conflict now going on and the appointment of a receiver. ‘The same may be said as to their retirement of the over-iasued stock. On the whole, ordinary prudence ‘would suggest that some guarantee of future correct management be looked for by the public before they ‘consent vo relieve the Erie managers in their present Aixtresa, ‘A full understanding of the arrange- Menta entered into with the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company and an entirely new di- )Fection are the least that should be accepted with a Nnal settiement of all the points now in controversy (im the several courts. The other stocks dealt in to- lay were without feature other than a weakening in Bs Pacific Mail appears to droop very much in @ story of the California lawsuit, {The following quotations at the last open board Bre almost the lowest of the day:—Cumberiand, 35 @ 87; Woils, Fargo & Co.'s xpress, 3% 0 204; Ameri- Mapress, 42843; Adaws Express, 48 0.4974; United Preas, 15% a 16; Quicksilver, 21 s 22; Canton, 478 48; Mariposa, 6; do. preferred, 193 @ 21; Pacific Mail, 113% a 114; Western Union Telegraph, 36% a 36%; New York Central, 1243 @ 124; Erie, 385% 8 89; do preferred, 5814; Hudson River, 1243, a 124%; Reading, 96% #9734; Alton and Terre Haute, 101 a 104; do. preferred, 140; Wabash, 65 @ 56; Milwau- Kee and St. Paul, 63 a 63%; do. preferred, 82% & 824; Fort Wayne, 100% a 109%; Ohio and Mississippi, 293¢ = 2034; Michigan Central, 115; Michigan South- ern, 8514 @ 8514; Pittsburg, 82% a 83); Toledo, 101 a 1014; Rock Island, 105% a 106; Northwestern, 755¢ @ 75%; do. preferred, 7734 @ 77%.

Then the assessments for grading, me setting curb and gutter stones, paving, Nagging sidewalks and all that sort of thing might be “erroneous,” and the Commitice on An- nual Taxes of the Board of Supervisors could remit those taxes. Now itis not absolutely certain that such things are done, but they can bedone, and there are speculators among the /urbicues of the salesroom who know that they can be done, and who kaow how to go about it, When such men are recog- nized as faniliars an@ favorites by the salesmen the small purchaser is intimidated. He feels instine- tively that the market is kept inflated and that he can bury his litte wealth in reai estate as readily as he could in stocks, At the salesroom yesterday the attendance was rather small, Friday, Saturday and Monday are genatally poe dara. ‘and the fact that they must be poorer may be gleaned from the list of sales given below.

Notwithstanding that the property in this locality is constant improving, the selier was ol to buyin the first lot offered and to positively refuse to put up the second lot.

Decision of Jastice Shandley—D.\scharge of the Deputy Sheriils. ~ After a long and thorough investigaion of the Broadway theatre outrage case, a patiet reading of the voluminous evidence taken and sasure de- liberation on the able arguments made by the legal gentlemen on either side, Justice Shandiey yvster- day rendered the following decision:— ‘The importance given to this case by ita pubitcity, ‘and the high official station of the defendants, seem to require at my bands more than an ordinary int mation as to the reasons which have tinpelled me to the conclusion at which, alter an exiausting and patiertt examination, I have arrived. Without going over all the ground of the reasons heretofore given by me for granting the motton of the learned coun- sel for the discharge of three of the parties lly joined in the compiatnt, 1 wil! merely reiterate U that | am well satisfied that all the officers the service of the process inst Harkins were di 4 authorized and empowered for that parpose, were not only le; sognent in the formance @ strictly legai act, but in one which it was com- pulsory upon them to perform for the maintenance of the majesty and supremacy of the law. Passing over the conflicting statements of the wit- nesses for the prosecution in relation to the part or peries who actually wounded Wilson and C! r- , I will only remark that I do not deem it neces- sary to look any further into that branch of the case than to inquire whether the defendants, Hickey and Moore, being @ part of a body of persons legally as- sign to perform a high oficial duty, transcended their powers and wantonly and unnecessarily used their weapons to the danger and injury of innocent and unotfending parties. My attention has been called to the second section, article one, title two, page 939 Revised Statutes, which provides as fol- lows, viz.:— Such homicide is justifiable when committed by public officers and those acting by their command in their aid and assistance, either first, in obedience to any judgment of a compevent court; or second, when necessarily committed in overcoming actual resistance to the execution of some legal process or to the discharge of any other legal duties, &c. Here, then, the law 1s plainly and clearly laid down, That the defendants were public officers and in the execution of a legal process, and that they were unlawfully and vioiently resisted, has to my mind been established beyond a doubt. ‘The only remaining question to be'disposed of is, whether the injured parties, Wilson and Chamberiain, were ac- tually engaged in the interest of Harkins in resisting and preventing the execution of the process against him (Harkins). Now, the evidence goes to show that both Wilson and Chamberlain were im the employ of Harkins, who, a# 18 clearly proven by Mr, Wm. A. Moore, busl- ness manager, had leased the theatre for one week, ineluding the night of the occurrence, It is also abundantly shown that it was pretty generally known, by the employés of the theatre that a warrant of arrest had been issued for Harkins, that trouble was expected from more quarters than one, and that arrangements had been made to prevent the execu- tion of the warrant. The management had gone so far as to provide ior the substitution of another actor ip the place of Harkins for the evening’s perform- @uce. Wilson says that he thought the oflicers were @ party of roughs from the other theatre; but the evidence proves that before he and Chamberlain were shot the omicers had loudly and repeatedly declared themselves as sheriifs and also their errand. Ward, Leary, Quinn and Sparhawk are positive upon that point, a8 well as the important fact that the officers wore badges in full view. It is also shown that the employes of the house numbered ten or fifteen per- sons and that the oificers were assaulted by weveral of them after they had announced themselves. It matters not whether they ail resisted at first or not, 80 long as they joined and espoused the cause of those who did they were all be guilty and took the risk of the consequences of their acts. It can scarcely be seriously argued, I think, that upon an occurrence of this kind submission and re- treat became the duty of the ministers of the law; rather “it is the power of the law that demands sub- mission; it is ts mandate that is to be obeyed.” I hardly think it necessary to recapitulate the numer- ous authorities submitted by counsel. ‘The statute, as applicable to the case, is so plain, and the evidence 8o free from ambiguity or doubt, that | have no hesi- tation in es ing: in the full consciousness of my duty, that the defendants, Hickey and Moore, have fully and entirely exculpated themselves from any legal wrong a8 charged against them. jon to ise charge is therefore granted. BROOKLYN CITY. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONE;'S ‘court. The Alleged Naturalization Frauds. Before United States Commissioner Jones. The adjourned examination of the case of Henry Sieler, Superintendent of the Poor elect, charged with procuring a fraudulent naturalization paper prior to the late election, was resumed before United States Commissioner Jones yesterday. ‘The Orst witness examined was Charles Schmitt, who testified that he accompanied Constantine Weyk in October last to a court room In New York, where they got their citizen pa>ers; that the Judge on the bench said that every one who had been in the country for five years, and was over twenty-one years of age, was entitled to receive his papers; that he (witness) asked Weyk whether he under- stood that, when Weyk replied that it made no difference whether @ man was in the country five years or nine months, and that they were all sworn. Poilip Schumaker testified that he went over to New York with the last named witness and Weyk to get hia naturalization papers; that all they did there was to hold up their hands and be sworn; witness had been in the country fourteen years; he went over there necause Mr. Sieler had said, “If any one wants to bea citizen his name will be put down; Mr. Sieler put witness’ name down, but did not tell him anything about it; saw Mr. Sieler two Rights afterwards, but did not have any conversation with him about the matter, either then or at any other time. Peter Auchesterfer, proprietor of a saloon on the corner of Bartlett street and Throop avenue, testi- fled that Mr. Sieler entered his saloon and said, “If y afternoon, with the view of ¢ some hall constructed of brick.
