WEScOaT, General Agent F. B. SOUTHMAYD. Assistant Agert, Bl5eod2dp tf 18 Union trots. TUESDAY MORNING.

FEBRUARY 5, 187S. l)c IDailg picanunc. Meteorological For the West Gulf States, Tennessee and the Ohio Valley, warmer, ciear or partly lonrty weather, southerly winds and falling laronitter. See Supplement to To Day's Paper Tf thre is any sense of decency or Bflf ieppect in the Senate, the nomination as Consul General at Rio Janeiro, of the notorious Anderson, the perjured Supervisor of East Feliciana, will be incontinently rejected. It is one of the most disgraceful of the many disgraceful appointments which have resulted, from the melancholy Returning Board frauds and the electoral swindle.

The President made indecent haste to reward this creature by offering him the place4 of Consul at Funchal; but Anderson seemed to have thought that Mr. Have had not ricen to a j.roper estimate of the height of hia villainy and the vulne of his perjuries. He refused to take the Consulate at Funchal, and, for a time, subsided into ohscuiiry. Now that some of his confederates are looking toward the penitentiary, Anderson has preferred his claims for consideration, and demands the kind of recognition which has been extended to his more fortunate allies, Sherman and Garfield. Has he alarmed the President with threats of tiainaging revelations, that this affront has been put upon the country? If Mr.

Hayes is not a driveling idiot, which very few people suspect him to be, he would not commit so gross an outrage on decency as this appointment of Anderson, unless he were influenced by some secret terror lor himself or his associates. YIELDED TO THE LAW. When the indicted members of the Returning Hoard fled to the Custom House they reckoned without their host at Washington. They doubtless expected that an army coips and a naval squadron would have been set in motion for their deliverance, as the manner was of yore. Disappointed in this they hoped for sympathy in hirh places.

None seems to be forthcoming at least, none from sources potent enough to effect a rescue from the iron clutch of justice. Representative opinion in the party, in whose service the guilt was incurred which has brought the members of the Returning Board within the danger of the law, ceases to use the language of condo'enc, of applause and of congenial sentiment. Its tone is now the voice of rehabilitated public virtue, which, abhorring the crooked paths of rampant, conscienceless politics, invokes the stern arbitrament of the law to decide the fate of these flagrant delinquents. The New York Post, among the most commanding organs of Republican opinion, speaks in peremptory terms its view of the Returning Board trial. Our New York correspondent, Antelope," thus transmits the Post's pithy sentences, under yesterday's date Tne Post to night says If the members of the Returning Board have committed crimes, let them be punished upon conviction.

It any other men are associated in these crimes, let no mercy be shown them." Books' Received. From Geo. Ellis Brother, 82 Camp street 6hakppTe'B KIdk Henry edited with notes by Wm. J.

The reduction in the Bank of Enaland rate to 2 per cent, is not favorable to war. nor is the rate for money on the etieet in London, which is down to 1 per without takers. Tbete low rates for money show that the feeling ef the financial pulse of Great Britain is for peace, and that, too, right in the face of the $80,000,000 which will no doubt be voted for war purposes" to night. It may be assumed, therefore, that the grant of money is understood and believed to be only a precautionary measure, and not one of actual need for impending war, or even defiance. Con sola, also, catch the feeling that no immediate danger need be apprehended, and they rise to t)5 9 16, against 95 at the close last evening.

At Paris, however, it is noted the funds are not so fall as yesterday, but this may be from local causes. With regard to our bonds they come bight for the 4Ve, lower for the '6Ta and higher for (he 10 40's the principal and iiitertet of which are guaranteed pa ment in gold by the act authorizing their ibtne. The reduced Bank of England rate ctnbtd a weaker feeling in short sight excLauge, which was clipped to 4.85. Sixty day bills were left at 4 83. bat were comparatively firmer.

From these rates 1 16 commission is allowed. The supply of sterling, outside of bankers, continues light. Gold opened quiet. The rise in consols helped flatten the market in the absenoe of any fresh stimulant from Washington regarding silver. Sales were made at 102 1 16, buyer four days and at this figure gold was offered as freely as wanted.

The object of the silver advocates has been to keep down the premium on gold in order to allay public feeling, and they ought to have been powerful enough to have done it. It has simply, however, obeyed natural laws, and against these the artifices of man are dashed in vain. The reported bull movement in silver in London, in the interest of the silver crowd, is denied. It is true there is a further advance in the English market to day to 53, and that figure quoted (strong but it is the result of a legitimate demand for Indi the export of onr trade dollars thither from London at the pitsent moment affording a profit to the Bhipper. In this market the quotation has advanced, in sympathy with London, to 11 6, against 116 yesterday.

The Drexels advanced their rate for sterling at 12 M. to 4.83 Mi and 4.85V. France are firm at 5.16 'i and 5.18 for Seligman's. In other bonds thera were sates of $5000 new Tennessees at 374, $5000 new series do. at 37 Vt Cheeapeakes at 24, $V000 Erie fourths at 103, $26,000 Cen tial Pacifies at 105, 1000 Missouri Pacific firfcts at 102.

Bank stocks were well supported despite the attempt yesterday to depreciate them because of the Donning developments. The strength in United States bonds in London to day is due, in part, to orders from this side to purchase, there being a profit in their importation here. These purchases in London would be large but for the difficulty of borrowing bonds here for delivery until the arrival oi those bought on the other side. The demand for sterling to pay for these bonds adds materially to the firmness in the bill market. A fresh Munchausen was introduced on the Cotton Exchange to day, to the effect that "peace negotiations were broken off," and forthwith prices lost the 5 points they had previously gained.

Afterward there was a partial recovery and quotations stood about 2 points above the closing last evening. It is a stupid market, at best, both here and in Liverpool. Gold was sold off to 101 15 16 on an impression that the Treasury might be forced to sell to replenish its currency balance. Both the Tost Office authorities aril tfce Sab Treasury here refuse zo receive (he trade dollar the latter. Mr.

Dean vs. Field Report In Favor of the Latter An Inveterate Belief that Wells is In Washington Justice Bradley and the Returning Board Trials. Washington, Feb. 4. Tlie sub com mitte on elections in Dean vs.

Field. Messrs. Candler and Hisoock reported in favor of Field, Springer in favor of Dean. The case goes over to Wednesday. It is still insisted upon that Wells is here.

Judge Bradley's opinion contains no points, as he Bays he may have to hear the case with ids associates, and it would be improper to forestall argument. He simply refused to interfere at present, as the shape in which the application has been presented' does not give him jurisdiction. Siprrme Court. Neal vs. Scrogga Co.

Error to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. In this case it is said that in the section of the law of 1X67. which sets forth the classes of debt which are exempted from the operation of a discharge in bankruptcy, debts created by fraud are associated directly with debts created by embezzlement, and that such association justifies, if it does not absolutely require, the conclusion thatiie fraud referred to in that section means positive fraud or fraud in fact, involving, as does embezzlement, moral turpitude or evil design, and jiot implied fraud or fraud in law, which may exist without the imputation of bad faith or immorality. Such a construction of the statute is most consonant to equity and is consistent with what, is supposed to have been the object and intention of Congress in enacting a law by which the honest citizen may be relieved from the burden of hopeless insolvency. In this view of the raee Neal's discharge iu bankruptcy was based.

The decision against him in this case is reversed. Mr. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion. Hitchcock et al. vs.

the city of Galveston. Error to the Circuit Court for the Eabteru District of Texas. In this case tne court reverses the judgment below in favor of the city in a suit to recover for the abrogation of contract for improving streets of the city by filliag, The defense was that assent of the property holders was not obtained to the work as provided in the contract, and that the action of the corporation was in consequence of such neglect on the part of the contractors. The court say that the action is not in fact for any branch of the contract for paving, but, for various other subjects connected with the improvement contemplated, and that it was not, therefore, necessary for the complainants Ho aver any consent of the owners of the property, as alleged by the dffc BO Dissenting Justices Miller. Field and Bradley (the latter delivering the opinion), who hold ihitt the required assent was as to the whole matter, and that therefore the work of whatever character done should have been first apnroved by the property holders.

Mr. Justice Strong delivered the opinion. The American Emigant Company vs. tie county of Wright. Appeal from the Circuit Court of the District of Iowa.

Ttis was an action by the county to obtain a rescission of a contract by which it conveyed its swamp lands to the Emigrant Company. The court below i 5 NUMBER 12. decided in favor of the county, and the decree is here affirmed. The court being of the opioion tt afc whije it is not clear that the agent of the company was guilty of any false representation in the negotiations, made the eon tract, as alleged, in respect of the probable action of the Land Department a. Washington, still the impression is left that there was gross ignorance of the nature and value of the land sold, on the part of the county officers, and complete information of all the facts in.

the possession of the agents of the company, which wax unfairly withheld from the county officers also that there was some peculiar conduct on the part of certain parties connected with toe transaction which requires explanation, and for these reasons it is said the rescinding of the contract was proper.
