A short, thin man, with a large blue neck tie, gnashed his teeth and seemed ready to pounce upon the tall, dark-complexioned man. They ad vanced toward each other, shaking their fists and shouting ot the top of their voices. The bystanders drew near, and all shouted and raised their hands. They rubbed up against each other, aDd hats were jammed over the eves of some. Still Fiono the New York Sun. Sept. 18. Yesterday was one of the most exciting [ days of the season in Wall street. Stocks fell off suddenly from five to ten per cent., and the Stock Exchange was wild with ex citement. The fall in stocks was owing not only to the general feeling of insecurity due to the knowl edge of the suspension of Jay Cooke k Co., in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, and later in the day of Robinson, Suydam k Co., Richard Schell, the First National Bank of Washington, and E. W. Clarke k Co. of Philadelphia, but also to the manipula tions of certain prominent operators. It is said that several weeks ago JayGoold, Daniel Drew, and John F. Tracy entered into a com bination to bear the stock market, Jay Gould cared for Northwestern, Daniel Drew looked after Wabash, while Tracy did his duty by Rock Island. In all of this they were aided by the suspensions which have occurred, commencing with that of the New York Warehouse and Security Companj% fol lowed by that of Kenyon Cox & Co., and the Eclectic Insurance Company, all of which were owing to causes outside of the manipu lations of the stock gamblers. In fact most, if not all. of these failures were in conse quence of an attempt by a single house to carry through a large railroad operation re quiring an immense capital. A GREAT RAILROAD ENDANGERED. The suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., al though said to be but temporary, is especially lamentable from the fact that the failure of no other American house could have done so much to lower American credit abroad, or to depreciate American securities. Jay Cooke <jfc Co., and more particularly the First Nation al Bank of Washington, of which Henry D. Cooke is President, and which occupies the same building with Jay Cooke & Co.’s Washington branch, are especially identified with the Syndicate which has had the placing of our national bonds and securities. Through their foreign branch. Jay Cooke, McCulloch k Co. of London, most of our bonds which have been sold abroad have been disposed of. [ How much the London house will be affected by this suspension can only be conjectured. Jay Cooke's individual interest in the foreign firm would of course be liable, but beyond that the firm would not be liable, unless it is interested more than it pretends in the bonds of the Northern Pacific Railroad, for it pro fesses to be simply an agent for their nego tiation abroad. An enterprise like that of the Northern Pa cific Railroad requires an unlimited parse. While in the end it may and onght to be suc cessful, for there is a vast country to be devel oped, yet in its inception the outlays moat be vastly in excess of the receipts. Perhaps Jay Cooke’s success in placing the national bonds and in other large enterprises may have led him to be over-sanguine in this, but whether he eventually succeeds or not the Northern Pacific has certainly received a bad back-set from his untimely suspension. HOW ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S SALARY? The First National Bank of Washington, with which Jay Cooke was closely identified, was the very head of the Syndicate. Through it Comptroller of the Currency Knox and Treasurer Spinner conducted all their trans action! with the public. More than that, it was the agent through whom the President of the United States drew his increased salary amounting to $30,000 per annum. They were his attorneys, in fact, and as such drew his stipend, and he checked against it as a bank account He has, however, probably THEBE WERE NO KNOCK-DOWNS, only jottings in the memorandum books. Young men stood on the railings and behind it, and shouted until they were hoarse the name of some one wanted. Uniformed boys with small pieces of white paper in their hands strode around with a military air call ing one whom some one else on the other cir cle wished to see. Some laughed and others seemed ready to shed tears as they grasped each other. There were hurried whispers and a passing of memoranda, and then a return to the terrific shouting. “ Yea-hoo” resounded through the room, followed by a succession of almost unintelligible words and the babel of voices; the scrambling about, and the wild looking countenances, made up a scene that a stranger never conld forget The presiding officer sat calmly in his chair, occasionally scanning the excited crowd and then pleasantly chatting with seve ral gentlemen on the rostrum. When the noise was greatest he seemed most happy, and when he arose about twelve minutes past twelve, holding a small piece of white paper and with a goodly-sized gavel commanded order, his eyes fairly twinkled. The shouting ceased for a moment, and the brokers, like a flock of Bheep, drew near. They were nerv ous and scarcely able to stand still, but they were quiet long enough to hear that the great banking honse of JAY COOK A CO. HAD SUSPENDED. Then they turned their backs on the presiding officer. Some yelled louder than ever, a few cheered as though they were really glad to hear it, while many sorrowfully shook their Deads. A score of brokers went from the room scarcely believing it possible that Jay Cooke & Co. had been so unfortunate, and hastened to the banking Louse of that firm. The bootblacks and newsboys were there be fore them and stood leaning over the iron railing on the sidewalk peering into the win dows and saying, “She’s busted.” All kinds of rumors were set afloat in the Room, nearly every bank and R. R.Company was said to have gone under. Henry Clews k Co., George Opdyke, Drexel, Morgan & Co., the Pennsylvania Company and others were mentioned among the rest. The Vanderbilt party were doing their utmost to keep their heads above water, but their foes were deter mined that they should sink, and the fight became hotter. The cry was, “Who will go next?” The small fry wandered about ex claiming that they had chartered a balloon; that the Street had been knocked out of shape, and that there was no room for them. They predicted that every well known firm in Broad and Wall streets would make a graud ascension. “This thing will stop to-day,” said one broker to another confidentially. “Don’t you believe it,” replied the one ad dressed; “that is but the beginning. Wait until to-morrow.” tense. The rocm was completely filled, and the uproar was deafening. The number of spectatois in the gallery was unprecedentedly large, and the feverish energy with which the bnsiness was carried on below was watched with ever increasing interest. In the earlier part of the forenoon gold was quoted at 11$, and business was unusually dull. Shortly af ter half-past 11 o’clock the suspension of Jay Cooke k Co. was announced. The shock was electric. Men who a moment before bad been trying to dispose, in a lazily indifferent way, of their superabundant gold, now suddenly became most en ergetic to secure as much specie as possible. The price ran up with extra ordinary rapidity to 12|, and within au hour of the intimation that the great bank had failed the qnotation was 12;. But while the bulls were actively at work the bears were not idle, and beyond the figure last quoted no advance could be made; large purchases were made, and as no further failures were reported, a quieter feeling began to prevail, and the price gradually fell off, until shortly before 3 o’clock it stood 111. Then came the announcement of the inability of Richard Schell to meet his en gagements. Instantly the excitement was re newed, and the scene following the intima tion of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co. was repeated. Men looked anxiously at the clock, and as it became apparent that but a few minutes more remained before the clos ing of the room, the frenzied efforts of those desirous of buying resembled insanity. As if by magic the price ran up to 122; b u * bears were not daunted, and sellers were still to be found. No advance was made on 12;], I and the price was steadily declining when the ; vigorous rap of the President’s mallet warned the operators that the hour of closing was at ; hand.

It was caused by the discovery made by one of the operators that a specta tor in the gallery, in defiance of the uproar beneath him, had quietly drawn his hat over his eyes and suck into a placid slumber. One brief moment’s badinage and a few jocular in terchanges of opinion as to whether he was a bull or a bear, and the tide of speculation swept on as impetuously as ever. SCENES IN THE STREETS. Tho suspension of Jay Cooke k Co., com ing on the heels of a temporary rally of de clining stocks created an excitement in Broad and Wall streets yesterday that has few pre cedents in the history of the money centre. All had been going well apparently up to 11 o’clock. In an incredibly short time the Rpread of the news brought hundreds ot curiosity seekers in front of the Exchange. The tumble in stocks attracted all who dab ble in share uncertainties. For a little while the messengers and telegraph boys could scarcely thread their way through the multitude.

G., 241; Ohio, 34; Wabash, 531. One of the oldest brokers in the street said there had been no such panic since 1857, and that it might be attributed to the bnilding of rail roads in advance of the sale of bonds, thns increasing oar liabilities and piling np our indebtedness. At about half past two Vice President Wheelock, who had but a short time before taken his seat, atthed in his usual faultless style, arranged his white neck tie, adjusted his eyeglasses, and arose. He had a small piece of paper in his left hand. He raised the gavel and smiled. Then he beat on the desk for order. The brokers reluctantly checked their screaming and looked at him. There was a shuffling of feet, and the Vice President’s deep bass voice could scarcely be heard. He regretted to inform the Board that the firm of Robinson k Suydam, 13 Broad street, bad suspended. Then he sat down smiling, and the screams of the brokers again filled the air. They huddled together, and in a moment forgot that there was one firm less in the street, so intent were they lost nothing, as Jay Cooke k Co',' are not so ; upon buyiDg or selling stocks.

Capt Van Deusen, of the New street police, put an extra platoon on duty on the principal corners, in order to keep the sidewalks clear. Then the crowds of curiosity seekers betook themselves to the old telegraph building op posite Jay Cooke k Co.’s offices. They had no direct interest in thejsaspension, but suck lings of finance occasionally furnished them a text for wonder by giving them news of some other great failure. As the shares tumbled the excitement grew wilder, and the streets were filled with bank clerks hurrying between offices and the Ex change. As the members rushed out of the Exchange they were stopped by clients and acquaintances and made to disgorge whatever they knew. Although no other facts than the simple one of their failuro were known, the whole financial course of Jay Cooke k Co. for the last ten years was criticised with gravity, if not wisdom, by the gossippers. In one re spect all agreed, namely, that the house had overloaded itself with Northern Pacific Rail way securities. BELIEVED TO HAVE BAKEL^THE 8TBEET. Jay Gould was generally credited with hav ing reaped a harvest out of the general disas ter. In the estimation of many he has raked the street agaia. The news of the first great disaster had hardly grown stAle, before a broker with long legs and streaming hair rushed out of the Ex change with the intelligence that Robinson & Suydam had suspended. Although they were classed as one of the light houses, the news created a decided sensation, aoy many persons rushed toward their offices to obtain confirmation of the report.

THE SPECTACLE IN THE STOCK EXCHANGE. When the Bolls and Bears reached the Stock Exchange yesterday morning, they wore a troubled look and seemed puzzled. They quietly floated around the great room for awhile, and awaited the first call. The opening prices were : Erie 55}, Pacific Mail Hi, Lake Shore 90}, Northwestern 52}, Rock Island 1021, Western Union 88}, Central 99} (ex dividend), St. Paul 43}, Union Pacific 231, C., C. andL. C. 27, Ohio 36}, Wabash 56, Harlem 126}, Panama 112}. Then the man ipulators of’tbe market stared at each other, and soon there was a buzzing which denoted that a storm was coming. Some talked of the great frauds which have lately been unearthed, and of the insecurity of investing in all kinds of stocks. Everyone seemed to mistrust his neighbor, and stood back waiting for a move. About 11 o'clock they began to strike out from the shoulder, and a panic ensued. Tre mendous excitement prevailed, and sales were made rapidly. Brokers rnsbftd to and fro telling each oth- or that everything was going to smash, and the floor of the Stock Exchange seemed a pandemonium. To a stranger it would have seemed as though A OBAT run TIGHT was in progress. Well-dressed men harried in and began to soream something that was undoubtedly intelligible to those aronnd them, tor whole the sew comer yelled end waved hie head above hie head, the others gesticulated wildly and shouted as loud ae he. AU had memorandum books, and just about the time an oat- aider might suppose the first blow would surely be struck, all jotted something in their books end separated to listen another. One broker, s tall, dark-complexioned man, wearing a white bat, dashed in and, waving hie memorandum book about as though defy ing any one to approach him, began in a aqeaking voioe, which sounded far above the din around trim, to call near him some of the moot excited ones on the Boor. His eyes flashed «a he shook hie fist in hie fellows' faces, shoved up against them, end then stepped back. He was terribly in earnest, and the telegraph operators, calm, cool and members to enter. The Governing Commit tee attempted to hold a meeting, but a quo rum could not be obtained. “We’re all busted,” 3aid a young man, who ran into the room in such haste that he al most knocked five or six brokers down; “we’re all up I” He was soon in the thickest of the crowd, pushing and shoving, and helping to increase the din. A mild mannered man, with his hands in his pockets, paced np and down, saying nothing, and halting only when 12,000 CASH GIFTS, SI,500,000 Every Fifth Ticket Draws a UIR. 8230.000 for 830!

At twenty minutes of nine a heavy set man in gray clothing approached Vice-President Wheelock, who had been leisurely reading some letters which he took from his pocket, aud handed him a piece of paper about four inches square. The Vice-President smiled and gracefully bowed. Then ho read the pa per and opened his mouth. The brokers on the floor did not notice him, but the persons in the gallery did, and said, “hem's anotheb.” The Vice-President stood up and with un usual vigor beat on the desk with his gavel. He held the piece of paper above his head and beckoned the brokers to come near him. Then when it was almost still he read with much hesitation that Richard Schell was una ble to fulfil his engagements. When ho con cluded the reading of the note with “Yours truly, Richard Schell,” there was a scene of indescribable confusion. It was a tremen dous blow to the Vanderbilt party, with which Mr. Schell waa largely interested. At first there was a stillness which was almost un bearable in a place where it is nanalto bear so much noise, and then the fearful shout ing and screaming almost shook the bnilding. A long line" of broken made hasto to leave the room, while another line hurriedly entered. With bated breath they met each other, simply ejaculating, “Dick Schell I’ “Vfv Gfwl i.hia tfl VAnrrVi " aalr\ nna anJ 4K akV *i ,-i -j A , ! divided into 12,000 cash gifts, wiU be distributed by >\ ltbm the next half hour the \wluest ana amone the ticket-holders—tho numbers of the most improbable rnmors gained general cur rency.

THE STBEET AFTER DARK. A stroll through Wall and Broad streets as late as 9 o’clock last night revealed a very un usual state of affairs. The brokers’ and bank ers’ offices, instead of wearing the usual de serted appearance, were lighted np, and had all the appearance of brisk business going on within. Each desk had a clerk in front of it, who seemed busy with long rows of figures. The writer stopped at one of the offices, occu pied by a firm high in popular estimation. The janitor stopped him at the door with the information that there was no admission there to-night “The firm are all there,” he said, “and not a few customers. They are mighty closely engaged, too.” That explained the nnasnal occurrence. Accounts were being balanced and assets as certained, preparing for calls for more mar gin, and counting the resources for another day ot doubt. PRICE OF TICKETS. !

The Hxaai.n has more enterprise than any paper in the Sontb, and if it had the means would make one of the bost papers on the conti nent. Its enterprise deserves success, but dependent npon public patrenage, it esnnot afford sneh a step. We know nothing of the Houth Georgia mails, bat wo do know that so far as this road is concerned, the regular mails bring the papers early enough. Corporations are soulless, and they will do nothing where they can see no dollars and cents in it for themselves Let the Hebald ■pend its money in adding new featnres to its already live columns, and it will command snpport and be a success -Griffin Arts*.
