Political Speculation.-Poilica speculn,ions
have now become staple commodity, which
rises and falls increases and lessons in value just
as events make ii important or interesting. Tho
principa dealers in the article are the Washington
letter writers. They are the board Of brokers
whose capital is speculation on governmental
movements. The lobbies Of the halls Of Congress
nre their Bourse-there they learn The fluctuations
Of Cabinet stock, and there they give market
value to political capital. Hence it will be seen
that Washington, as well as New York, has its
"bulIs "and lis bears; and if Wall street has its
'.lame ducks" the purIieus Of the capital is not
withou, its birds of wuddng gait. TheWnl! street
shavers were never more famous for getting up
monetary panic than the Discounts Of Washing
ton are for originating a political one. The one
makes notes, the other takes them. There being
no mail from Washington for the last three days,
none Of them were within that time presented at
our counter. To-day, should the mail come
through, the market vii; be gutted with them.-
