istered to voters for the election of President and 
Vice President of the United States, Governor and 
other officers of the State, has been passed. 
The committee appointed by the Louisiana Sen¬ 
ate to investigate the action or the Board of Regis¬ 
tration in that State has made a report, which says 
that the Board of Registration has given instruc¬ 
tions to the various Boards of Supervisors through¬ 
out the State that are wholly unwarranted in theory 
and entirely beyond the law; that their action in 
refusing to recognize the naturalization papers from 
the 3d, 1th, 5th, tith and 7th District Courts was 
wrong, the Board having no power to pass upon the 
validity of a judicial act; and these instructions 
deprive persons of the benefit of article 99 of the 
Constitution, which deprivation is unjust and clear¬ 
ly against the Constitution, The report has been 
adopted. 
Both Houses of the Georgia Legislature have 
passed a bill to make uniform all the tickets used at

an increase of orphan colored children. 
Latest Foreign Intelligence, 
The leaders of the so-called Fenian party in 
Ireland are everywhere forming political coalitions 
with the Tories. They even oppose such candidates 
for Parliament as O’Donoghue in Tralee, John 
Francis McGuire in Cork, and other equally strong 
advocates of Irish rights. The journals in Ireland 
which have shown most sympathy with the late 
Fenian agitation have comments strongly in support 
ol' these coalitions. 
The revolution in Spain is thus far highly suc¬ 
cessful. Queen Isabella has abdicated in favor of 
her son the young Prince of the Asturias, and has 
fled into France. At Biarritz she had an interview 
with the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Eu¬ 
genie. She will take up her residence at the Impe¬ 
rial Castle at Pau. The revolution is the result of 
the union of the Constitutional, Moderate and Lib¬ 
eral parties in an attempt to overthrow the reigning 
dynasty. I he fleet has joined the movement be¬ 
cause the sailors are unpaid, and a greater part of 
the army has revolted because they are indignant at 
the exile of their favorite General. The Church, 
which is bound by every tie to the Queen, resists 
and holds the masses in check. Insurgent forces 
are in arms in nearly every part of the country, and 
desertions from the royal army are daily occurring. 
The royalists, under command of Gen. Pavia, had a 
battle with the revolutionists, in which Gen. Pavia 
was badly wounded. 
The very latest dispatches from Madrid announce ^ 
that Marshal Serrano, accompanied by seven gene¬ 
rals of the revolutionary army, had entered the city 
in triumph. The streets and buildings, public and 
private, were superbly decorated, and a targe civic 
and military precession escorted the party through 
the city. The rebels were received with great en¬ 
thusiasm, Serrano made a patriotic address to the 
immense multitude of citizens and soldiers, in the 
course of which he announced that be had united 
with Gen, Prim in calling Gen. Espartero, The Duke 
of Vittoria, to the head of the State. Proclamations 
will soon be issued for elections to be held through¬ 
out the kingdom to choose members of a definite 
junta and delegates to a constitutional assembly to 
meet at an early day in Madrid. The leaders of the 
revolution are acting together in perfect accord. 
From her retreat in France Queen Isabella has 
issued a proclamation against the revolution. She 
urges that her rights to the throne o f Spain are not 
impaired by a rebellious force, and that the acts of 
a junta established by violeuce are not binding upon 
the people. 
Mr. Henry M. Watts has had an audience with the 
Emperor of Austria, at which he presented his cre¬ 
dentials, and was received as Euvoy Extraordinary 
and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States 
to the Court of Vienna. 
The frigate Alexander Nav&ki, on which the Grand 
Duke Alexis, son of the Russian Czar, w»6 making a 
naval tour, was lately wrecked off the coast of Den¬ 
mark. The Prince was saved, but many of the crew 
were lost. 
It is reported that a military and commercial 
treaty has been ratified between France and Hol¬ 
land, and that Belgium is expected to join in its 
terms. 
Disraeli has issued an address to his constituents 
of Buckinghamshire, in which he says the disestab¬ 
lishment of the Irish Church, which the Whigs de¬ 
sire, would unsettle property and make confiscation 
contagious, and worse than all, would give Eng¬ 
land over to Popery, and practically to the rule of a 
foreign power.

South American News.— Advices from Paraguay 
state that a mine had exploded at Hnmaita, almost 
annihilating the allied troops who had just taken 
possession. A truce between the contending par¬ 
ties had been partially arranged by tbe Chilian 
and Bolivian Ministers. It is probable that the 
Argentine Republic would agree to The terms pro¬ 
posed. Brazil flushed with her late victories, would 
probably refuse any conditional peace. Additional 
intelligence from the scene of the late earthquake is 
received. In Ecuador alone, it iB uow stated, the. 
list of killed amounts to 40,000. In Peru the dead 
are yet hidden under the ruins of houses, in many 
instances, and a stench infests the air which it is 
thought will produce a pestilence. In Quito the 
stench arising from the nuburied bodies is horrible. 
Some people are still being dug out of the ruins 
alive, one poor fellow among them having been en¬ 
tombed for six days alongside bis wife’s corpse.

decrees, one announcing that the only ports open

RURAL NEW-YORKER OFFICE, > 
ROOIUtSTKB. OOTOBKB (I. 18b8. J 
During the last week there has been a great change in 
the Eastern money market. The week opened with the 
same ease in New York that has characterized the niaiket 
for several weeks past, money being readily obtained at 3©-! 
per cent. About -.be middle of the week there was a sudden 
stringency, and rates of Interest advanced to" per cent, on 
call loans, and in some In-tanc- s a higher rate was obtained. 
There does not seem to have been any contiugeucy of trade, 
or eall lor money in legitimate business, to create the press¬ 
ure. It was caused by a combination among speculators to 
lockup greenbacks m order to affect gold and “locks, and 
the near approach of the day for making quarterly return? 
was favorable to those who eotighc to make a close market. 
The New York World notices the condition of things on 
Friday, as follows The extreme point of stringency in 
the money market was reached to day. The minimum rate 
for call loan? was 7 per cant, in currency, and they ranged 
as high as 'i ami K per cent, per daj-, and 7 per cent. In gold. 
The Broadway brokers’ firm and tbe Eric brokers and of¬ 
ficials In Broad street had borrowed a sboit time ago a large 
quantity of stocks which they returned to-day, thereby ag. 
gravatlug the demand for money. A number of the banks 
called in their loans from strong firms to the extent of at 
least $5,000,000. The clique engaged in the disreputable busi¬ 
ness of locking up greenbacks seems to have played Us last 
card in returning the borrowed stocks to-day, and, as the. 
stock market was not affected thereby. It is reasonable to 
assume that the money market and prices are likely to im¬ 
prove. li is reported that Mr. McCulloch has written Mr. 
Van Dyck on the matter of selling gold, with instructions to 
stop unless pressed by the banks to redeem unusual amounts 
of 3 per cent, certificates.” 
On Saturday afternoon money was easy at •> per cent, in 
New York, and was offered at low rates of Interest yester¬ 
day. So the excitement Is over without having any material 
effect In the interior. There will hereafter for the remain¬ 
der of the year be a larger eall for funds to move crops West 
and South, and the plethora of money that has characterized 
the last two months is uot likely to continue. 
Gold has been declining during the past week. The New 
York Sub-Treasury sold largely last week—the 6ales being 
about $1,500,000. The price )n New York yesterday was 140, 
Wheat and Flov k.—T he tendency of prices is downward, 
but the decline is not rapid. Wheat ia not moving Eari very 
rapidly. Dealers think it too high lor safe investment, and 
millers iu many localities are Day lug quite moderately. 
Corn.—T here was great excitement in the Corn market at 
Chicago for two or three days last week. Dealers got up 
one of those •‘comers - ’ which operate so disastrously to 
those in the regular trade. A combination of large opera¬ 
tors controlled the market for a short time, aud on Thurs¬ 
day last sales were made Of No. 1 at 112. In the afternoon 
of the next day. after the " corner ” broke, the same quality 
was sold at 88J£, A fall of about VOc, per bushel in twenty- 
four hours must pxove disastrous to somebody. 
Barley continues to advance, and is in active demand at 
the West. 
Fork is quiet. It is thought the Western hog crop will be 
late In market. Corn has been so high farmers will not feed 
early. 
Wool.—T he demand in the Eastern market for domestic 
wool active. Some manufacturers are raid to be stocking 
largely ahead, believing that prices will advance considera¬ 
bly before next spring, bales in Boston last week foot up 
l,ti00,0C0 lbs., at a range of 4H4®53e. fur ffeece, aud s&carihc. 
for the various grades of pulled. 
The market for Woolen Goods Is now buoyant and active. 
Cotton has advanced lj£c. during the past week. The 
crop reports ffom the South arc a little more favorable. 
Local Markets—T here is little change since our last, 
either In flour or wheat. A slight decline, on the higher 
grades of the former and the lower of the latter, has taken 
place. Corn and oats unchanged. Barley firm with a slight 
advance. Fork steady and poultry a shade lower. Wool is 
firm with an Upward tendency. Tiiere were several sales of 
Slate last week from second hands, at 42®43c. Combing 
wools firm; sales Of domestic at 50@S5o r aud of Canadian at 
C5(S,75c. Fruit and vegetables steady at previous rates.
