FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. WEDNESDAY, Oct. P. M. fluJness in Wall street seems to have assumed a chronic character.

Until tae confidence of the public 13 restored by the lapse ot tame the stock mar- kal bills fair to preserve tlie even tenor or Us way. TJW dbposilioa of the operators who can command capital to renetv speculation is to take the boar side. TUo consequence is a large snort interest, betrayed by tiie active borrowing dcmaua I'or stocks. llJo reduced eurjiHgs of tlie Western railways is the tssls for tula tendency en the part of tlie street. Tiic accuiar.iuiwa ol uoney at Uiis) ceuire is still exhibited in me low rate or iaterest oa call loans.

Until the grain 01 the West is marketed tills accumulation mast continue. As soon as money becomes active we shall liave tlie first intimation that the crops are in motion. Then, by a curious paradox, stocks will go np in a etrmgent money market, for tae reason that tue stringency will be the sign tbat the movement of toe crops has beznn and that railway earnings will increase. It may be taken aa an absolute lact that the cliques win always do tha opposite or what ttie street does. The cliques live oy the outside public.

The latter hove been induced to believe titat, we have not seen the worst of the panic, ana that another revulsion is In toe immediate luture 01 the Stock Exchange. Tae street has, therefoie, gone' short." The capital stocks of some railways have been sold twice over. Tlie cliques Have been the buyers, otherwise the decline undergo many sales would Have been a very large one. The cliques, howevor. keep tue market dull and Heavy enough to tempt the increase of such sales, out are careful not to drop it enough to allow covering.

Tne easy money market allows the cliques to carry stocks without any great loss of interest. Money to-day was worth from four to seven per cent. The former was tne exceptional rate on call, with pledge or government collaterals, aud the latter the exceptional rate on stocks. Tlie regular rates were five BIX per cent. As to the Western demand for money the question is problematical The price of wheat at Cims.i;jo tias not undergone a panic--as was stated on are now assured by private advices, tne report Having been originated for Its effect npoa tne stock: market.

The truth might Juve beea guessed from toe flruinsss of the produce rnisrtet here, waere prices underwent an advance, owing to the demand for shipment fulfilment or prcvioas contracts, la discounts there Is no change, Prime ary goods auteftaacos set! at from lea to twelve per cent, and B-jcouJ rats at twelve to lifiean.

October elections in Pennsylvania and Oiilo have esoned a very perceptible niQuence on the course ol values ail street.

Edward Biggins, a citizen of the republic of Cuba, dulv coiuuiueloned uad nctiiic as a commuuore in the navy taereuf, now beln in command of the public ship-ol-war of the saut republic called the Cuba, wbickslilp wfyin' In tbe port of Wntninijton, the State ot North Carolina? In ue i favor spam. Jtwas contrary to the character ana dignity of the it was in opDositlon to the known neutrality and spirit of fairness always exercised by ttte United states towards contending foreign i nations.

But the effect of eucu long delays was the sanie. He. therefore, protested -against so much time being granted. It would be wrong. The witnesses who had oeeu held back by their Inability here to-day could certainly reach the city in dela dW Ot taiuK couusel should asli Judge Person reoued that the postponement asked lor was very short.

He only desired reasonable time, and had no disposition to nine nunecessary delay. In important cases it was not only necessary to give witnesses ample time to arrive, but the opportunity also to Uave interview with counsel. la cases of importance where- tfle question of guilt rested uoon the intention of parties, it was necessary to eater into particulars and to examine many 8 3 was frequently difficult to prove. Individuate i and associations about to commlfa violation of the law did not proclaim tueir intentions. It was aa Important to the Republic of Cuba as to the United States that there should be a full I were involved whictt should be settled.

He did. not think ttat the delay 01 five dBj would be asking too much. Me res on the part of tne defence, said that the line of conduct pursued by the United states iu this case would be marked out "and held up aa a precedent in detaining American ships of war foreign ports. Here a ship of war, under regularly commissioned, officers under the seal of a Sjtieto government, enters an American port in distress and is seized by the government on the charge or a violation of tne neutrality laws, and had been detained Longer time is now asked to get testimony. Foreign governments having no interest this case would ass wnat authority the united States had to detain a vessel 01 a Oeromo government until it had tune to search throughout the length and breattt of its territory lor testimony, The ruling even in ordinary criminal cases wasBtnct.

4 State or government makes an allegation of crime at its oeril. It had no right 10 charge a crime without testimony to sustain it. There was a case beiore of a sovcrnmeni seizing the war vessel of one belligerent and then asking for time to hunt up testimony. It would not do. by a delay in order to protect the neutrality laws, to set a precedent of aiding the other belligerent power.

A delay would be giving aid and comfort to spam. Judge Meares continued his able protest against inrih'er postponement for some time. Mr. O. P.

Uiwrey said he made no intimation that suck, was the intention of toe government, bur, tuis action was in tue interests of Spam. It was tyimj np one ol the vessels of Cuba; wane them Spam were employed in the service of that government. The Cubans are belligerents ana have teen so acknowledged by the United estates, llus delay was a capture, not by tue United Suites but by Bpaui. The courts were indeed made use of, bur. Sparusa aseats would hunt up testimony and Spanisn gold would suborn itnesses.

As yet they had noc found testimony-- he hoped thev would not. Tue delay was not only wrong on account or tlie heavy expense attending tne detention ot tne vessel, but it would eaableypamsh agents to get up testraioBy. It was a Spauisli and not ttn prosecution. judge Person denied all knowledge or any persons interesting tuemseives but tae government Ouicers. lie knew none otuer.

He came nere as tne attorney of tne government or the United States, anu no one else. Tue aovernmeat desired only lo do its duty to Itself and to the friendly world. Juuge I'erson referred to the tUffically compelling taa attendance of witnesses. The officers of ihe government, were busy Huuting up tneir witnesses, it was known that one was on board me steamer Cuba, but the Marshi.1 could not him. He was told that ue Had deserted just alter the arnval of the sieaaisr iu this port.

He again declared his tu use no unreasonable delay. He desired in all tdiruess aud candor to clear up this ifcat'er to seme tue question in resrard to the relations of the United atates ana Cuba. "The citizens of both countries desired to know what tueir nguts and tae question sfloulu be settled for au time to come. A fair, just aud proper uudei standing sliouid bu arrived at, and a reasonable time should be allowed. Air.

Davis said, regard to the witness being "spirited away." tuat there was a person on o. the Cuba who was oelieveO to be a spy in the pav of other parties, and aai so admitted.

Commissioner Kutherford sala that he understood that tne government had used ail diligence to procure the attendance ol witnesses. The counsel nad originally asked ror leu days, but he had tliouiiiit tuat until to-day would be ample time.

He coulu not see that great harm woald result from tue reasonable uelay now aaked by the government.

Haw It Has Operated--Commissioner Parker Hampered by Superior Authority--Curious Blunder of Commissioner Caoley In Regard to a Keqalreti from Sidney Clarko aud Senator Pomeroy. WAsnrNOTOT, Oct. 12,1869. Some newspapers tell aa that the Quaker Indian manasrera have wonderfnl success to dealing witn the Indians, and the Quakers themselves teli as tiat they are fast taming our American savages and bruwing them within tae pale of civilization. It a to be hoped that this is true.

President Grant wantea ao honest administration of Indian affairs. He wanted to put an end to all presentations from the Indiana, and, as tne first step to tttat direetlen, determined to crush, and annihilate the so- called "Indian ring." TO do tnis He appowted General Parker, himself of Indian blood, Comntt- sloner of Indian Affairs. This was a ay paint- no donot, and if the General could have Sis own way hia administration would most likely prove a success, but he is so trammelled by superior powers as to make Him but iltttle more than an ordinary cleric. In further carrying ont tnls Indian policy President Grant determined to yield to the long aud stant Importunities ot the QnaKers to let them try a liand at the civilization of tne Indian, aud forever pnt an end to our Indian wars, wnlctt they (the Quakers) were sure they conld and woald aeeom- pilsn. The administration seemed to believe tfiat all Honesty was concentrated beneath a broad brim and wltMn a shad-bellied coat, and nowsere else to ne found except to army eacets.

Actinj upon tuis belief, a council of Quakers was" summoned to meet to tola city last The council was large and nighiy respectable. President Grant told the that he Had roaae up nis mind to try the experiment of managing the Indiana In part by Quaker sspertai tendents and agents anonn part by army officers, iE order to determine which sjstem of mansgeaeat would be tlie best for the Indians, ana thereopoa he caused to be law before them a list of an the Indiaa sapenntendencies and agencies, with a request that they should indicate wnicn tney would take to wan- age and experiment upon. Tne sagacious instead of selecting tne Hostile Indian to whom no money is due and with whom there was BO chance for trade and money-making, wisely chose toe Central and Northern soperlateadencies, the Indians belonging to which were all at peaca aud most of whom ere eitaer civilized, or well advanced in civilization. Tne Indian trade in thesa tares supenntenaeneies comprises all that ii of any value among tribes, including, as they do, the Indian Territory, Kansas, Iowa, KeorasUa, iUnne- sota and isounsin, anu also nearlj all tse Indians to wiiom annuities are paid.
