We have heard of this precious article selling
for tweuty-five per cent, premium iu our town,
much lower than we have noticed among tlm
telegraph reports. It has declined considerably !
in the gold markets, the latest quotations being
as low as 2b. This rapid decline in the last
few days means something, and is the effect of
some cause or causes. Perhaps it may be
from some favorable change going on in the
commercial and mercantile world, or a nowly
inspired confidence in the conduct of the finan oisl
department at Washington. The anticipation
of the passage of the Loan Hill. If this
be it die decline is uot permanent. It was
thought for some time tlint the conservative
policy of the Administration would besustain_
el, but Mr. Stevens, the miserable head of the
worst of all parties, denounces (lie plan of the
restoration of a sound currency, "as a part of
t\t system of a restored Union." The lfill was
lost. Twelve millions of gold have recently
been thrown upon the market l>y (l.r .Secretary
of the Treasury, which may approximate nearer
the true cause of its sudden decline. Taxpayers
have learned that green backs arc tu>
good as gold in paying taxes, which is another
trnml iruann whv our lieoulc at least should nut
a higher appreciation upon their value.

In the Senate, on Friday last, Mr. Stewart
introduced the following joint resolution, which

Wficreat, in the present distracted condition
of the country it is eminently proper aud tice
essary that all just aud constitutional means
should he employed for the quieting of popular

and the obliteration of all hostile feeling
growing out of the late unhappy civil war;
aud whereas, one of the most prolific sources ot
unfriendly sentiment is the coutlict of opinion
existing on the suhjeot of negro suffrage; and
w here as it is now most evident that there is no
probability whatever that Senators and Representatives
in Congress from the States whose
j.copli; were lately in insurrection will be nl
lowed to occupy the seats to which they have
been elected uutil said States sliai! have complied
with certain fundamental conditions a '

Washington, March 20, 1800.
The events of the past few days have been
full of political interest. The Civil Rights Bill
is before the President, nnd I have little doubt
thnt li<- will approve it. though uiay object to
its general character. The Bill us it passed
the Senate wyuld have been vetoed. But it
was so moiliflc 1 as to allow an appeal, in every
case, to the United States Supreme Court.
Besides it is thought that the law will not le
one of ninclt pructie.il importance. The eases
that might arise under it, vrill l>3 settled by
usage, and a few decisions of the Court would
settle the law ou the subject.
The Jsjiut Resolution offered by Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, has attracted some attention.
The Senate will refer it to the Committee
on Reconstruction. Mr.Stewart is not in favor
of negro suffrage, but he savs that he was sat
isfiod himself that neither this Congress nor
the nr>*t will admit representation from those
States, without conditions which Mr. S. proposes
introducing, equalization of the right of
suffrage. Me proposes that the Government
offer to those states general amnesty and ex
einption from all liabilities on account of the
rebellion, and also the restoration of the States
to tlieir place in the Union with full representation.
He suggests that if Congress offer
there terms, and the Southern legislatures accept
them, all those States can be represented
before the end of this session.
By ?h?- Fourth of July next the vacant seats
would all he filled by any ex-rebels who maybe
elected, not excluding J offer mod bavin or
General 11. K. Lee. The negro nutlragc condition
i.s to be mude applicable to all the States
in the Union, and it is based on the suggestion
mad by the President in a telegraphic letter
to Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi. Judge .Sharkey
is still here, and cordially approves of Mr.
Stewart's movement. No Democratic Senator
has yet accepted it. But a majority of the
Senate have expressed to Mr. Stewart a willing- I
ness to send the resolution to the t omtnittce on
Reconstruction for consideration. The I ommitteeMiny
report it, omitting those portions
which are beneficial to the South, particularly
the amnesty clause.
The 1'residcnt is not. strong enough iu hie

Decline of Void I'lemlum.
From the Washington N itioual Intelligencer
of the 9th iustaut, we copy the following in
reference to the decline in the gold in irket and
its effects upon trade :
' The gold premium has declined to about
thirty-three per cent., and i- likely to fall, as
it did last spring, to thiity or lower. The
Secretary of the Treasury is rep o'tei t > hive
