} { ; 7 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. | Monpay, Sept, 6—6 "p, yy, The activity and excitement which get in last ‘week in the Gold Room became MO%9 widespread to-day, and the Stock Exchange Pyrticipated in the ferment, which seems to have Geen engendered by the gold speculators and threatens to visit all branches of business in Wail street. The animation of the forenoon was brought about by a direct re- newal of the “hull” movement in gold, under which the price was carried to 1:7, At the same time the general situation was invaded by appre- hensions arising out of the bad news from the Paris Bourse, where rentes went down to 69.85 and great excitement prevailed, Indeed, one despatch announced that the presiling omMicer of the Bourse found it necessary to state pub- Niely that the health of the Emperor was “satisfac- tory,” upon which there was a recovery in prices, but with continued uneasiness, Use of this intelli- gence was made by the ‘bulla,’ and large numbers of the ‘shorts’ were frightened into covering, Soon after midday a prominent frm threw two millions of gold upon the market and the price broke almost instantly to 13643. When they ceased selling, the eperation requiring only afew minutes, there was an immediate return of the price to 137\, the great gulf of the “bull? speculation seeming to close over and bury out of aight this Jatest effort of the “bears.” It was reported, however, that these sales were but a repetition of ‘the trick of Saturday, when several large Orms were betrayed into going short for large sums on their own account, because they had received orders from the “bulls” to sell, and suspected the move- ment of the latter had culminated. The “balls” smile at the agony of the “bears,” and threaten that ‘when they can no longer put up the price they will advance the borrowing rate to figures which will force the shorts to cover. It remains to be seen how far they will be successful in thus controlilag the market. Indeed, many suspect that they have already commenced to unload. The trick of giving orders to brokers to sell will be repeated, perhaps, unull the street gets used to it and discredits every time that it is the beginning of the unloading. ‘Then the clique will really unload and the street will give no heed to the oft-repeated cry of “wolf! As to the story that the government will help the gam- blers for the purpose of offsetting the Pendletonian greenback ciamor of the West, it is of the same tissue as all the stories started in the Gold Room. It may or may not be true. The cliques may ‘corner’ Bold for a few weeks; but the merciants have no need of it, ag they have or ought to have closed out their debts on imports long ago, and hence the only legitimate demand for it is gone, The balance Ol trade is very slightly agains’ us, so Much 30 that when we come to export our cotton and grain we shall have to import gold tn payment for them. The cliques know this, They enjoy their power now be- Cause the “bears” are so numerous, and thereby create an unhealthy and unnatural demand for the metal. They are forcing the price to a good point from which to drop. Then they will themselves turn. “bears,” and anavalancie of sales will carry gold below 150, Meantime we must take the situation as ‘we find it, and it is certainly very Mattering to the skill and boldness of the “bulls.” The range of the Price is shown in the table:— + WI + 13736 7B LST gold was quite variable, The demand for cash showing the policy of fast and loose which the cliques are playing with the market. In the morn- tng the rate ranged from 1-64 for borrowing to 6 per cent for carrying, and after Clearing House from 7 tozper cent for carrying. The disbursements of com interest to-day amounted to $116,701 75. At the Gold Exchange Bank the gross clearances again amounted to an enormous figure, viz:-~$192, 229,000; the gold balances to $2,842,815, and the currency Dalances to $4,236,129. The imports of specie at this port last week were as follows:— Bept. 2.—Steamer City of Washington, Liv- erpool—Gold dust Rept. 2.—Steamer Ais dust. Gold Silver... ‘Total for the week. Previously reported. Tota! since January 1, 1969. Bame time, 1863, 529,784 Same time, 1867 + 2,225,175 ‘The easier condition of the banks at the close last week allayed the apprehensions of borrowers for the money market this week, and hence there was @ general deferment of engagements until late in the day, when under the combined demand and as an echo to the mneasiness in London and Paris there was sudden activity and the rate on call was sbarp seven per cent, particularly on mixed col- laterals, Government bonds were supplied at six toseven. Commercial paper was in somewhat better request, but rates ranged as formerly quoted, viz.:— From nine to twelve per cent. Lenders are getting into the habit more generally of making time joang On collaterals for periods ranging from thirty tw ninety days, at the full legal rate, the broker mak- ing his own terms as to the commission, This class ‘Of transactions checks, to some extent, the negotia- tion of paper, and is now preferred by many lenders. As to the course of the money market In the ensuing few weeks much speculation is indulged in, but the impression ia general that it will require artificial means to render it active to stringency, The de- mand from the West and South must come sooner or later, but the expectation of it isso largely dis- counted that the market will doubtless glide to tightness almost imperceptibly. Tne ‘bear’ cliques are reported to have got together to-day Lo organizea pool for the withdrawal of $5,090,000 of greenbacks from circutation, and thus precipitate a break in stocks, bonds and gold. Those who claim to speak from a knowledge of Secretary Boutwell’s policy Gay that while on the one hand he will endeavor to market our crops to Europe at the most remunera- tive prices he will keep our local money market well Guppliea with currency for the promotion of our me- tropolitan business, The foreign exchange market was a shade firmer at the close, not from any better demand, but through & sudden indisposition on the part of drawers to make more bills, Ratea were nominal, the e: range for sterling and francs being as fo Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 107 a 107%; good to prime bankers’, 103 a 108}¢; short sight, 10344 a 109; france, long and short, 6.27) a 6.18%.

COMMERCIAL REPORT Monpay, Sept. 6—6 P. M. Corron.—The market for this staple continued to rule dull, the demand being only for small lots to supply immediate necessities, and prices were heavy, though not quotably lower. The sales were 583 bales, of which 438 were for apin- ning, and 4 on speculation. For future delivery the market was quiet and prices declined fully 34. per 1b. ‘The sales were 20) bales basis Jow middling for September at S1!xc., 100 do. for December at ¥7¢., and 200 do. f. 0. b. at New OF Jeans on private terms, We quot Uplands Mobile New Orlean: and Fiorita, and Menphia aud Tera + BONG 30 Bu; Western, first mortgage, 1288, 84; do., second do., 893, 61; Chicago and Rock Island, first mortgage, 100; Morris and Essex, second mortgage, 0134; Cleve- land and Toledo sinking fund, 99; New Jersey Central, first mortgage, 99; do., new bonas, 96; Piusburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago first mortgage, 300; Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago third mort- gage, 04's; Cleveland and Pittsburg consolidatea sinking fund, 82)¢; Cleveland and Pittsburg fourih mortgage, 74; Ohio and Mississippi frst mortgage, 92; Dubuque and Sioux consolidated first mortgage, 92; Milwaukee and St, Paul first mortgage eights, Muwanukee and St. Paul first mortgage seven and three-tenths, 91; Milwaukee and St. Paul first mortgage, 914s; Milwaukee and St. Paul J. and M. d., 86; Chicago and Milwaukee first mortgage, 80; Chicago and Great Eastern first mortgage, 82595 Columbus, Chicago and Indiana first mortgage, 83; New York and New Haven sixes, 97, ‘The effect of the foreign news upon government securities was witnessed in their rather sbarp de- cline in the home market, The 62's went Off to 122% and the 67's to 120%. It is suspected that the Jewish holiday of New Years was taken advantage of in Frankfort to depress the market there In the interest of houses having American connection and 1nter- ested in both gold and bonds. Certain it is that the decline in Frankfort was much greater than in Lon- don, the Excnange of which city is more phiegmatic and less susceptible to violent speculative move- ments. ‘The 67's in the latter place went off only to $1, the decline being only one-half as much as in the German city. The yield- ing here was a large one, however, when it is considered that the market should have been sustained by purchases which were made on foreign account early in the day before the break’? abroad and when gold was at 13734 a 137%, the dou- ble transaction of selling the bonds in London and the gold here affording a good margin of profit. The following were the closing street prices this even- ing, the market being steady:—United States sixes, 1881, registered, 122% @ 122%; do, do, coupon, 122% a 1224; do, five-twenties, registered, 121\% a 122; do, do., coupon, 1862, 12234 a 12234; do. do, coupon, 1864, 121% & 122; do. do., coupon, 1965, 121344 @ 122; do, do,, coupon, new, 1865, 120‘ a 1204; do. do, coupon, 1867, 120% a 12034; do, do., coupon, 1863, 120% @ 120%; do. ten-forties, registered, 111 a 11114; do. do., coupon, IIL @ 11144; currency bonds, 110% a 110%. The speculative interest being diverted in other directions Southera securities were dull and gene- rally steady. The new North Carolinas were weak and lower, and the new South Carolinas active and higher. Otherwise there was no featare in the market, The following were the closing prices at the last session of the board:—Tennessee, ex cou- pon, 60%; & 63; do. new, 52 bid; Virginia, ex coupon, 5534 a 57; do. new, 58 a 59; Georgia sevens, 9194 a 92; North Carolina, ex coupon, 5534 & 56; do., new, 4754 @ 4 Missouri sixes, 87a 8744; do., St. Joseph, 90a 92; South Carolina, new, 67 a 69; Loutstana sixes, 70 a 70%; do., levee sixes, 65 a 6634; do., do. eights, 84 a 8444. The stock market was barely steady at the open- ing, despite the favorable bank statement of last week, and was therefore easily susceptible of the “bear” attack Which was made upon it later in the day, subsequent to the reports of uneasiness in Europe and the more active closing of our home money market. The railway list yleided quite easily to this hammering, excepting New York Cen- tral, which was very strong at the decline to 203%, its lowest point, and reacted whenever the sellers left the market, Erie, in sympathy with a yielding mm the London price, went off to 2334. Pitts- burg, which sold as high as 109% on renewed reports of a stock dividend, also went off in the afternoon, The stocks more particularly “ham- mered” were Rock Island, which sold down to 1124, the report being circulated that the directors Would not declare a dividend; Michigan Southern, which touched 102%, and the Northwestern and St. Paul stocks, These were the features of the “break.”? A rally took place towards the closing of the Long Room; but in subsequent street trans- actions prices again tell of.

Notwithstanding the dense crowd everything was passing off in quict and harmony, and the cttiz having experienced some trouble in August, were elicitating themselves on the good order Which existed among the white and the colored population, put sometime between four and six P, M. bad whis- key and sour cider began to develop their pernicious eifects upon the brains of aset of young, Irresponsi- bie country boys, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty years, who impruadently went in among the negroes, who had selected an unoccupied square opposite the Court House, where they might enjoy themseives in their own way, WHhout moiesting or being molested; and while the boys were mixing in with the negroes some difcuity occurred, and a negro woman was seen to have & revolver and a knife, when one of the boys, not over sixteen, thought himself particularly called upon to take the pistol from her, and in the act of so doing—the woman, of course, resist. ing—he fot one of his hands severely cut, and when we saw him wending his way to Dr. Wisey his hand and arm were as bieody as though he had dipped both into a tub of blood. This was the sig- Hal tor, seemingly, a general row. The word was handed around that a “negro woman had cut a white boy,” when a number of indiscreet young men, all failing from the country, made a genéral attack upon the negroes, Marshall, in 1568, omice, &nd one young man by the name of the general scramble, was pierced through tho side with @ kuife’ by @ negro man named Jacob Guy, Jake was singled out and pursued, aud chastised at every step by some one of the party, while another fired upon him with a revolver, ‘The ba}i took effect between the knee aud groin, passing clear through the leg, severing in ite ‘passage the femoral artery, There being no bone broken the negro was still Able to retreat ieto the store of Colburn & Co., passing from thence into the street and over the fence into the Court House yard, where he fell from the loss of biood. The wound was examined and the blood stayed by Dr. Fitzhue, who pronounced the chances of life against the negro—and we here add, being an eye witness, that while the Doctor was engaged fu his examination Jake's was estabilshed of having stabbed young Mar- shail, by the finding of a bloody knife, some twelve inches Jong, upon his person. The negro’s wife Was 800N On the spot, a cart was procured, and she etarted home with lum; but he died on the way. A coroner's inquest was not held until Wednesday, when @ verdict in accordance with tne facts and eir- cumstances was rendered, While this tragedy was being enacted in one part of the town, another of a jess magnitade was going on elsewhere, which resulted in the beating of a negro who had drawn cither a knife or a pistol on & white mam The negro, however, would have been killed had not a few gentiemon of infinence of the village promptly went to his relief. In Gimost one short hour from the commence- ment of this terrible affair, the town was a8 quict as Sabbath mornibg. & general stampede took mit possession of the negroes, men and women alike, and scarcely one was to be seen on the streews at seven o’clock. Presuming all to be quiet in and around the and fearing no other outbreak, the citizens, without even so much ag taking the precautionary measure of ing @ night weasel, retired to rest. But they were aroused about three A, M. by tne ringing of and the cry of In the dark- ness and still of night the piled the torch incendiary ap to the above mentioned hotel, and it, together with the store house and the dwell- ing, were soon aheap of ruins. The wind heme favorable the incendiary, no doubt, contemplate destruction of the entire town; but the storehouse and dwelling were scarley enveloped in the devour- ing element ere the wind changed to almost an op- posite direction, forcing both heat and flame from off the court house, Clerk’s oflice and adjacent at tornies’ offices, thoreby saving them, aud, conse- quently, the balandée of the town, Nove of the con- sumed property was insured. MR. J. ROSS BROWNE AND THE BRIT: MERCHANTS IN CIINA, FREDERWE, Ma., Sept. 4, 1860. To THE EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— It has afforded me great gratification to read in your paper of the 3ist ult, the reply of James L. Kiernan, late United States Consul at Hong Kong, to the recent letter of Mr. J. Ross Browne in reply to the address of the British merchants in China, Un- lke Mr. Kiernan, I was surprised at this address. In relation to the feelings and prejudices of the British merchants mn China and their determination, by force or fraud, to continue to carry on their ne- farious trafic in opium and coolies, and the perpetration of commercial frauds and our rages of every kind, ag against the Chinese government and people, I fully agree with 6x- Consul Kiernan; but I was surprised that they, ‘Whose.pollcy has heretofore been hidden and secret, should so boldly prociaim their sentiments to a minister of the United States without the fear before them of having their communication thrown back with indignation. No man of intelligence who has lived in China for any length of time, and sought to inform himself in relation to public and commercial affairs, but knows of the datly outrages perpetrated by the merchants upon the Chinese officials and the unoffending peo- pie. If he has stood upon the banks of the Yangtse, or the Min, or at Canton, Ningpo or Amoy, he must have asked what pursuit was followed by those heavily armed lorchas and house boats, the crew armed to the teeth, fying foreign flags or the colors of the various compradors (that is, Chinese managers of foreign warehouses), salllag swiftly towards the huge foreign warehouses on the water, in @ land where all is peace, the people of which, unless con- taminated by foreign influence or roused to anger, are as timid as sheep, If he has wandered irom the cities into we open country he must again have wondered why men, women and children with the cry of Wan kiaug’ (foreign devil) on their lips fed before him; and if he has paused long enough to seo a wild crowd of Englishinen mounted on stump-tailed ponies followed by packs of huge dogs galloping recklessly through the weil tilled rice plantations and vegetable gardens, devastating the work of months Of patieat industry, the thought must have ocourred to him that it was not to be wondered the people desired as little Invercourse as Possible with these “out-tde barbarians.” When the Mey | rebellion was gathering strength and force against the government the rebeis met the imperial troops armed with the most approved wea- pous of modern warfare, which had been transported rom, the ports vo the rebei camp under the very eyes of the Chinege authorities, who again and again pro- tested agalust the violation of treaty stipulations, Was this calculated to induce iriendship for the nations of the West, whose gunboats and vessels of war lay tn their waters, rey to belch forth shot and shell in defence of 4 drunken sailor or desperate captain if captured in the attempt to sell rifles at $500, powder at $100 the canister, and percussion Caps At $25 the box, to the rebels up the river? fhe action of the governmenta! authorities in China is the action ol the people. Strange as it may appear to those who have believed the Chinese government to be a monarchal oligarchy, it is the most demo- cratic on the face of the earth; for promotion to ofice and high position (below the Emperor) intellect being the only requisite. There sump oratory and “running the machine” has no weight; “the pen is mighuer than the sword,’ the tongue or “the ring.’? ‘Their oficials are selected by a board of examina- tion, and according to their capacity assigned to positions under the government, any one being eligible for examination who presents himself before the board; and the thesis—which shat up alone in a cell—ne las prepared being aiways open to examina- tion and criticism, precludes partiality, for if ia said “to bear his merits on lts face;” in fact, the whole government is a sort of civil West Point on a grander scale, Without the partiality of appointment; the people ave carets. Ali that Mr. Ross Browne could have seen of China or the Chinese must have been with Engiish glasses from the windows of the British bongs, and all ho has gathered of their habits and customs from the after-dinner table talk of the merchants and their retinue of clerks, tea-tasters, &c, If he had nego- trated a troaty with the Chinese oiiiclals he would have no pretext to assert that lntellectually they are inferior to himeelf or the race from which he sprung, On the contrary, a3 has becu tie cage with every ne- gotiator with them, he would discover each day Jonger that he lives, that their diplomacy at least 18 equal to that of the West. Does Mr. Browne suppose because they are a nation not Christian that they are arace of fools? Does he suppose that they are not aware that force against weakue+s must be met with guile? Mr, Browne says limse.! thatit has been. Ou the day that [ assumed the duties of Consul of the United States 1 was told exuitingly by an Eng- lish gentleman that “there was my only protection in china,” and he pointed to a British gunboat in the harbor, Then and there, on the part of my countrymen and myself, I distinctly disclaimed any such protection, and stated that f rejied alone for protection upon the treaty my government had made with that of China. He laughed, saying [ had “much to Jearn of China.’ A few days aiterwards 1 had Interviews with the Viceroy, the Prefect and the Haiquan, and expressed tothem the same a adding my determination to adhere in By official le business strictly to the spirit and letter of our treaty, asking, at the same time, if they would do the same. ‘They expressed their gratification, and said that the foreign oficials bad always expected them to carry out every treaty clause strictly, with threats in case of their failure to do so, while, on the contrary, they themselves appeared to consider treaty stipulations on their side as a dead letter. I remained Consul at the port of Foo Chow for over tliree years, and al- though during that time many matters of iinport- ance add dificult negotiation transpired, requiring long correspondence with these oficers, I always found them ready to conform to any provision of our treaty to which their attention was called, for the reason, as they sald, that | bad pledged myself to do 80 likewise, As a general rale the officials of the United States tn China, I believe, have been gaided by this rule of action, and from this in @ great measure has grown our popularity as contradistin- guishd from the hatred toward the British; and that this preference for Americans does exist [ assert, notwithstanding the assertions of Mr. Koss Browne to the contrary. 1 believe that if it could be impressed upon the Chinese mind that force hereafter should not be used except in such case as where it Would be the resort of the Western Powers in cases of disagree- ment among themsel' that treaty stipulations wouid be strictly carried out and their government and people would be treated with that respect those Powers claim for themselves, we should hear from foreign Ministers no more complaints of ‘this guile’ which they say they have been compelled s6 oftea to meet with force and violence. Mr. Kiernan says:—The Chinese, summing up all thelr virtues and defects, are not a whit toferior to us people.” I honor him for the sentiment, for {t 18 Crue a8 against amass of prejudice and faise- hood, I have seen something of men and man- here in this country and abroad, and some of the most intelligent, cultivated and courteous men | have met have been Chinese geutiewen, The most faithful, competent and in- dustrious servants I have ever iad were Chinese. I have a girl now in my family whose devotion to my children is only equalled by their affection to her. In concluston, J desire to say a word of the British oMciais in China, towards whom, on the part of the econ there is great antipathy. Generally men born m China of English parents or who have pone there at an early age, they are gentlemen of high im- tellectual cultivation and tone, hey hold their positions for life and are entirely tndependent of trade, Your real John Bull m China, after an ad- verse decision before his consul, often wishes their consular system was like that of the United States, “Then,” as he says, “by Jove, la write to London and have him removed, tf money could do it, as these blarsted Yankees do, and get a friend a, pointed who would know on which side his bread Was buttered’? RAML, L. GOUVERNEUR, ux-United States Consul at loo Chow, MURDER AT PipGR’s Grov » RHODE [et AND,—— A tracas occurred about hail-past ten o’ciock lust Night at Pidge’s Ground, near Cedar Grove, which Wil probably result in the death of one of the pariict- pants, The name of the wounded party is Thomas Ward, He belongs in Pawtucket, but for some time past he has been keeping @ little place on the grounds, assisted by hig wife, The particulars, ag Bigh as we can learn them, are as follows: A man named Charles L. Owens, of Daniel sonville, Conn, together with another man, witose name is not known, were walking during the evening on the grounds, and wishing to smoke, Owens’ companion volunteered to go to Ward's place for matches, He did so, while Owens remain- ed ashort distanced away. Some conversation took place between the man and Mrs. Ward, when he became very abusive. Ward then came out of the place with a knife and axe, when doth men set upon bun. Mrs. Ward in great terror ran over to Cedar Grove for the officers, Who started at once, Arriving ‘on the spot they found Ward tpon the ground badly wounded in the abdomen, his bowels protruding, while by him was standing Owens with the Knits and hatchet in ms band, The other had escaped, Ward was raised and put to bed, and the oMcers procured a wagon and brought Owens to the Cen- tral station in this city, where he now remains. He is marked with several severe Cuts, but none of them serlous,—Proyidence Heraud, Sept. Y , THE WAR AMONS THE WOMAN'S RIGHTS WOMEN. w YORE, Sept. 4, 1869. To THs EDITOR oF THE HERALD :— ‘Will you permit me, through your columns, to correct @ statement made in your yesterday's issue ? The report of the proceedings at the meeting of the so-called Workingwoman’s Association says:—‘‘It touched the soul of Mra, Norton, who made the .amende honoravie in brief terms.” There was nothing said by me that could, by any possibility, bear guch @ construction as that, save by wilful intention. The nearest approach to any- thing like an apology consisted in my saying that no person in the audience could regret more than I in feeling obliged to speak the harsh but stern truths which the conditions seemed to demand, Ifany person could distort that into an “amende honorable” tt must have been under the immediate influence of that “personal magnetism” and ‘“pow- erful persuasion” of which Miss Anthony boasts, And that, by the way, is one of my causes of com- plalnt—the manipulation of reporters, by a species of “cheap John” bidding through deft flattery of attention before the meetings begin, and allusions to them through the course of “the talk” intended to tickle their vanity; and so apparent and oft-re- peated as to have become—to sensible, plain folk who have'nt a p: per to sell—a_ source of such dis- gust a8 to utterly destroy any pleasure or profit that might otherwise be gained at elther tne bureau or the association meet Any reform which can- not bear trathfl and unbi: reports of its pro- ceedings—which cannot bear investigation and ex- posure to the world at any time when circumstances or consistency demand either—which cannot be talked to all classes m all its breadth and bearlogs— whose morits are not strong enough to raise the people to its standard when its true purposes are avowed, is not worthy the name of reform or the efforts of honest workers, and ‘I'll none of tt.’ Any movement which 13 not all this is not reform, butasham built upon the merits of 118 namo for dishonest purposes—a cloak of grace to cover self- ishness ant ance the interests only of those who are base enough 10 prostitute a good Word to a bad use. Finally, so far from making any apology, T, on the contrary, reserved my strongest points, for the rea- son that, having relinquished my intention some days before of saying anything, Ihad not my proofs with me to sustain wy Cclarges. Witb a poor mem- ory aud without notes I was compelled to taik guardedly, and consequently to a disadvantage; and none but an adept at turning severe censure of themselves ito credit could have possibly so con- strued either my words or my manner as to make tuem bear the slightest semblance to an apology or amenie honorable, For the benefit of those of your readers who are interested in this matter— especially working girls aud womnen—I will add that T intend to war upon the association until tt is purged of its ten cent speculators, or, failing in that, tl it dies.
