Show "BULLING" AND "BEARING-" Tho verdict of the jury in the Raymond Ray-mond & Ely vs. liormea caso wan in favor of tho lattor, by a majority of moo aaiuHt threo, which, wu Icaru, ifl t legal verdiot io civil cauaea in Neva-do. Neva-do. There were bcis made in Piochc, on Wednesday qvcqidk, of two to one, that ilorwos had bcvcq unalterable votes rn the jury; and the result would indicate that those who maintained that proposition wore remarkably woll-in woll-in for mod; as well-informed, indeed, aa gentlemen in thin region havo been oooaiiooally, who have been ablo to deolaro what a judicial decision would bo bolors it was rondorod. (Jt course, jurors are inuorruptible, just an judcn aro immaoulate; and it would be imagining imag-ining an utterly impossible- thing to suppose that a number of tho jury in thia carte had dcoided on the ma no or in whioh they would vote independent of tho evidenco before them. Still, we will suppose a case : That this verdiot might bo expeoted to result in sending up Hermes stock like a balloon and dropping Raymond & Ely liko lead ; that with thin sudden ohange various gentlemen should prove successful 'speculators" and make a large amount of money in a short timo ; that when this desirable ond had been accomplished, accom-plished, motion should be made before judge Fullor, who tried the oauao, to set aside tho verdict on the ground that it was oontrary to tho evidence, and grant a now trial ; that tho court should - dooido in favor of tho motion, and likewise grant au injunction injunc-tion against the Hermes company, thereby sending up Raymond & Ely Btook and bearing down Hermes; and that the gentlemen who had made monoy before tho rise of HormoB had also wisely bought Raymond k Ely when it was down low down away down, as far as it was likely . to get under the peculiar bearing process brought to boar on it and would bo in a position to sell tho same stock at a largo advaneo on price. This suppositious suppo-sitious ease, woro it a reality, would enable theso wiao, wide-awake, speou lative gontlemun to ruuko money rnpid- ly by each turn of this peculiar "bearing" and "bulling" wheel of fortune; for-tune; for under tho ease supposed the "bulls" of tho Hormes would bo "bears" of Raymond & Ely, aud vice Shrewd operators do not imagine for a moment that the litigation between be-tween the Raymond & Ely and the Hormos pooplo is ended; and there are not wonting tho30 who think our supposition sup-position is mora of a reality thin a fancy. Under such oinjumstaucee, and if tho late suit woro brought, or even manipulated, for purposes of stock speculation, wo must unqualifiedly say that a "hog gamo" in an ordinary gambling boll would be honesty compared com-pared with it. We oaonot think.though, that gentlemen engaged in this litigation litiga-tion would lend themselves, knowingly, to any suoh operation; for although some of them are known to bo anxious for monoy and extremely fortunate stook speculators, thoy have reputations'1 reputa-tions'1 for honor, honesty and probity at stako whioh all thoy would mako by suoh "bulling"and "bearing" wouldn't pay for.
