The failure of Jay Cooke & Co. is one of
those remarkable financial events which are
now growing common in New York. Except
the suspension of Sir Morton Peto «fc Co., of
London, a few years ago, no failure of recent
date will excite aa much surprise or more
comment. The firm of Jay Cooko & Co. has
been regarded as one of the strongest financial
concerns in tbe world. The senior member
is supposed to be worth from ten to twenty
millions of dollars, while his partners are
proportionately wealthy. No banking house
in the United States has engaged in more gi
gantic operations, and none that has been es

But tbe day proved to be very rainy, in con
sequence of which the attendance on the
meeting was limited. It was decided to ad
journ the meeting until Thursday next, 25th
inst., and a committee, consisting of Colonel
George N. Lester, Gen. Wm. Phillips and an
other gentleman, whose name our reporter did
not learn, were appointed to wait upon Mr.
James and ask if he would consent to return
and address the larger meeting on the 25th.

should not make without full specifications and proof.
I have now asked you no less than three times to
specify the charge you have made and you have not
done so. Once more then I beseech you, say distinct
ly in what your memory differs from mine. I wait
your pleasure with profouud respect. Colonel,
I am your obedient servant,
Benj. D. Lay.
Opelika, Ala., August 29, U7J. j
Colonel It. D. Lay :
Dear Sir: Your favor of tbe 23d reached me only j
tc-day. About the same time I received a cote Irom
you, sent by a messenger, asking a reply to tbe same. !
I stated to your messenger that I would send you a
reply by mail at my earliest convenience.
First, then, I h»Te made no charge against you, and
a reperuaal of my notes will show it.
Second, my memory differed from yours, and I m< u-
t oned that fact to you.
I am surprised that you should, for a moment, sup
pose that it was necessary to sustain your honor that
my memory should concur with yours in every par
ticular. But to the point. You wish to know wherein
my memory differs. In complying with your request I
I find it more convenient to s’ate as nearly as 1 can |
what I remember of our conversation, and leave you i
to judge of the difference:
On the evening of the 22d of July, at 8::>L r. m., I j
called on you, aud upon your bowing most profouud-
ly I stated that my c*11 was informal, and the follow- J
ing conversation enmed:
Col. Lay (with a low bow)—It gives mo pleasure,
sir, to see ycu at any time and in any manner.
Hcopnr (with bow equally low)—Allow me, sir, to
express an equal pleasure in seeing you.
Col. Lay (bow as before)—Will you do me the honor,
sir, to be seated.
Hooper (bow as bef.»r •)—I will do myself tbe honor,
at your request.
II. (on taking his scat)—Colonel, will you permit me
to inquire where you can be found on or about the
8th day of August? I take the liberty of inquiring be
cause Major Waddell’s selected friend is not here, and
I do not think that his reply will be ready before that
time.
Colonel Lay—Major Waddell has certainly the right,
under the code, to double tbe time taken by Captain
Phillips, but it would suit my convenience better if
Major Waddell conlcl reply before my return to At
lanta. You a e perhaps aware. Colonel, that my prin
cipal, Captain Phillips, is a wealthy man, and I know
that Major Waddell is also wealthy, but you and my
self are both poor, and it comes very hard on ns to
have to make two trip9 here, as it is so expensive.
Hooper—I have no doubt that Major Waddell and
bis friend will do anything that they can consistently
with their own convenience to avoid putting you to
expense or inconvenience, and I would suggest that
if it is possible, that before we part on our return,
after M jor Waddell consults with his friend, that
some arrangement may be made to suit the mutual
convenience of all parties.
Col. Lay—Would you object. Colonel, to iudicitin g
wbat weapon Major Waddell will be likely to

So much has been written and said about
the Governor’s late speech at Geeensboro, and
it has been so miserably garbled, that we give
it this morning in a fair and full synopsis. It
has been in type for several days, and has
been inadvertently left ont up to this time.
It will be found to be very interesting and full
of useful information.
At last the Macon Telegraph has joined tho
ranks of those high-toned journals that take
news items from tho Herald, and then with
sly malice credits them to “an Atlanta paper.”
Such journalism will surely meet its reward.
