THE r tm< H SEW YORK
Tatst week was an exciting t.me
in New York in financial circles.
The wild spirit of speculation, al
ways rife in ihat pandimomnm of
intrigu'ng, scheming stock gam
bleis, has carried thousands d :*u
in ihe crash of great houses that
engage in ventures, where mil’
ions are won or lost in a day. IVr
years this spirit of gambling bus
been on the increase The crash
a few years ago, made men cau
tious, who had anything to lose,
but gradually they floated back in
to the current, and infatuate l with
the prospect of success, even the
more cautious beaa ue wild in their
ventures, and it was but natural
that this storm should not live al
ways but that the calm would
come and a general letting down
in prices be the result. Ii ?auie
at last and batiks, stock jobbing
companies aud private speculators
weut down in the whirlpool.
The Marine Bank and the , ihe
firm of which Gen Grant and his
sons were partners were tie first
of the gTeat establishments that
dosed their doors, with liabilities
running up away in the millions.
This failure worked up the public
iniuu to fears of a general crash
but it was explained tint this fail
ure whs the result of rascality and
was not a legitimate failure caused
by the depression of business and
the rapid fall es stocks. 15m the
apparent quiet of the market wai
bn* a premonition of the coining
storm. For a day or two there
whs a united effort to biace up
uii'l hold the fort against the in
ferable. but as house after house
ame tumbling down, tie hope of
checking the ca'astropiie was
found to he futile.
On Wednesday morning the
failure o' five Wall Street firms
was announced in half an hour
ami ilien came the announcement
that ihe Metropoli an Bank, of
which Geo I Seney is president,
had dosed its doora]nnd|Mr Seney
and his sous Lad failed, then fol
lowed eight more firms and the
Pbuenix Bank, and ihen can.einnu
merable failures, some of great
houses and others of smaller ones,
who are uukuown to the country.
It was not alone in'New York
that tnese failures brought ruin
and distress, but other cities 'and
even the interior towns and Rail
Road centers have Buffered aud
the probability ia ihat there will
be a general shaking up of apecu
lative vemures.
/i is generally known that the
ra.it iPettPH is
Ga Rail Road, extending froir.
Bristol, Tennessee to Brunswick,
Ga., and.has purchased a controll
ing interest *u the Great Rich
moi.d and Danville system.
W hat will be the effect of this
great failure upon the great South
ern linns, the future alone can de
velop. Under some arrangement
Mr Stney's bank reopened its
doors and resumed business, hut
whether this is only a temporary
effort to regain public confidence
or give assurance that the firm is
on its feet again, it is hard to
tell.
The people of the South will cat
ui a'ly sympathise with the mis
fortunes of Mr Senev. //is liber
al donations to Southern institu
tions and his confidence in South
ern investments has made bis
name a household word in Geor
gia at least, and therefore his fail
ure or temporary embarrassment
will be received with more regret
than any other house in New
York.
If these w'hl speculators were
the only ones to suffei the coun
try would feel but little interest
tu the collapse of the stock job
bing concerns. They are nothing
mote or less than gamblers who
risk all upon the rise 01 full of
stock, just as the devotee of 'ho
gambling table risks his lust cent
upon the turn of a card. If they
won they have received that which
they did not earn and if they loose
they only leap the reward of their
own folly. They will move out
aud be forgotten by all except the
unfortunate class who have been
duped by fair promises and trust
ed their hard earnings to the cus
tody of sharks, while other men
will step into the pool and follow
the saute iifatua'iou until they, in
their turn, are sent hobbling to
the rear.
The question in which tho noun >
ry is interested is what is to be
tho eliect of this panijc upon the
general interest and prosperity of
the business of the country. The
government has been appealed to
for a ; d, and the secretary of the
Treasury is doing all he lawfully
can to reaiore confidence, by pur
chasing government bonds and
tbrowii.g a large amount of cur
rency upon the market. Impor
taut appeals are being made to
Congress to provide somesubstan
tiul relief, aud check die inq end
ing crisis, but it is doubtful wheth
er any legislation that may be
adopted will save the wreck and
restore equilbriutu in timncial cir
cles. Confidence is the basis of
all commercial prosperity, and
where this is lacking and each man
looks upon his neighbor with sus
pense, the chances are two to one
that the crash has just begun and
the crises has not yet been reach
ed.
The natrual effect of this state
of affairs is a general redaction
in values and a generul tigh'ness
in money matters. Already the
cotton mills have felt the effect of
the presure, aud the producers
have not fouud an adequate mar
ket. Iron and many of the other
great articles of commerse are
dropping below the coat of manu
facturing and ihe outlook U not
encouraging.
The New Orleans Exposition
Fer the first time in the history
of ihe south, she is to come in
competition with the civilized
world at the Exposition which
opens at Aew Orleans on tke first
of December next. It was at
first proposed to make this expo
sition for the cotton sta es alone
hut as the programme was dis
cussed and ihe po9sib'lit'es can
vassed, tho managers de ei mined
to enlarge it and open their doors
to the world for exhibits aud com
peiition. The name was there
fore changed from the CottonCen
icnnial Exposition to the Wcild’s
Industrial Expoaitiin.
It was agreed to locate it in
New Orleans, the gate way to and
from Mexico, Central America and
the West Indies, and at the mouth
of the great Father of wateis,
which by rail and water has di
rect connection with all sections
of the country. Hence the loca-
tion was all that could be desired.
Active steps have already been
taken to make it a grand success.
The buildings alone will covei
thirty tlree acres of ground, ten
more than either the London or
Centennial at Philadelphia.
The cot pany was organized by
charter from the general govern
ment, thus giving a national char
acter and a Commissioner appoint
ed by the President from each
state. And the representatives
of the government in foreign
countries will be directed to bring
this exhibition to the attention of
foreign governments. But not
satisfied with this the managers
hsve sent special commissioners
to Europe to inlist the active co.
operation of the largest and most
$1,000,000 passed Congress, and
now awaits the signature of the
President. This, with the amount
of the original stock and receipts,
will give ample funds to enable
the managers to make it it fact
the grandest exposition ever Leld
on this side of the Atlantic. And
it offers inducements for bringing
to the attention of the civilized
world the vast capabilities of the
South and West, in every depart
meu t of industry, whether median
ical or of field, forest or mineral
t wealth.
Appreciating the importance of
' being fully represented at this ex
, bibition the Governor of the state
has appointed auxiliary commis
sioners, and they in turn are at
ranging for county assistants to
foi ward to a Central point to be
determined on, exhibits of every
class that will illustrate the wealt h
and resources of this State A
hearty co-operatiou of every per
son '"ho is interested is earnestly
invited in selecting and forward
ing exhibits of minerals, woods,-
o»e«, field crops and in fact every
thing that wi 1 go to swell the
state exhibit aid bring foreign
capitol and skill into our State
This exposition will quickeu the
industries of the South by bring
ing together the inventor,the man
ufacturer. the capitalist and pro
ducer of raw material, and enable
us to show to the worli the pro
duct of her soil, forests and mines.
Mr. Spurgeon, the Lodon divine
is said to be coiupletly broken
down in health and his step is
slow and feeble Notwithstand

sincerity of purnose have al

unaffected grea ness of the orator,
even though his voice has lost 'be

P»rty Platforms.
Political platforms are general-,
ly regarded as of little importance,
ihe general opinion being that
they are clap traps, made to catch
votes. And yet they are the po
litical creeds and mark the distinc
'ion between the parties who con
tend for mastery in the adminis
tration of the affairs of Govern
ment. Under our system of rep
resentative government, they be
come the instruction which the
people give to their representa
tives, in the most solemn form
possible. In national elections
men are supported because they
represent certain principles or
lines of policy, and not for their
personal fitness for the office, of
which th< voters have little oppor
tunity of judging. Hence the pol
,cy they will puraue becomes all
impoitant to those who have well
defined ideas of what the best in
terests of the country demand.
In the various conventions which
have assembled, anil will assem
ble this summer in the several
stales, we must look for the in
itiative policy that will constitute
the basis upon which the National
Convention will act, when it as
sembles in July, to inaugurate
the great campaign for the Presi
dency.
In looking over the pioceedings
of party conventions, w e have
seen nothing that so fully and
dearly presents the issues of the
campaign, iu our judgement as
the platform of the New Jersey
Democracy. The issues are pre
sented in a short crisp way that
admits of no misunderstanding.—
It i* well enough at the opening
of the campaign for tho people to
understand the presented,
and we therefore copy the plat
form as the best presents ion we
have seen :
The following ii the platform :
“We the democrats of the slate
of JV T ew Jersey, in convention as
sembled, do affirm our devoiiuu
to the principle of justice upon
which the, democratic party is
founded, and pledge anew our
best indeavor to its maic. enance.
We adopt as our rule of faith and
pi atice the resolutions of the lasi
democratic convention as true and
safe guide in national and state
politics.
We charge that as s result of
the republican uational administra
tiou the business interest of tbe
country are depressed, confidence

to the national debt.
That labor is vainly seeking im~
ploymeut or unable to obtain fair
wages
T 1 at great criminals are per
mited to escape through delay . f
prosecution orjof ability or ofa’ctual
connivance on the part of federal
officers.
That greatbr revenues are exac
ted from the people than are
necessary to pay the expens.-s gov
erment econnomically administer
ed; that the surplus is left in the
treasury to the injury ofthe or reck
less or corrupt schemes for i s ex
penditure.
That uo government has the
right to burden its people with
taxes leyend an amount uecessa
ly to pay its expenses, and gradu
ally extinguish its public debt.
That wbeneverjtbe revenues from
all sources exceed this limi'ation
they should be reduced so as to
avoid a surplus iujtbe treasury-
T 1 a 1 legi lation to secure "these
lesults should guard and protect
the rigl ts of labor and encourage
home productive industries with
out producing or fostering monop
dies.
That tbe republican party, bv
making the offices in the gift of
tbe federal government the ie
ward not of merit capacity, but
of unscruplous political service and
partisan zeal, baa perverted .be
national administration to a power
ful instrument for oppressing and
thwarting fLe popular will.
That we demand thorough and
genuiue reform in all branches of
our national civil service.
Ex Governor Hendricks give*
the following account of his con
version to democracy, his unces
tors ell being stout' whig*: >1
think I know just when I became*
a democrat. In the first Jackson
campaign I was ui.je yeara old.
One day during the iieaicd end of
the campaign my father sent up
to the house for some papers
winch lm needed, aud my brother
directed me to take them to hia
office. As r. went down there I
had to cross tne public square, up
on which the demccra s had just
erected a hickory pole with a hick |
oty split broom on the top of it.
Seeing a worthy neighbor whom
I much tespected, I asked him
what was the meauiug of that
broom on the top of the pole, aud
he answered. It means that it the
democrats carry the election they
will avveep things clean in the |*ib
lie offices. Then I resolved that
I would be a member of the party
that kept clean oflioea, for I *n
deibtood then that he meant that
