OJTE ‘WAR AT A. TIKE.
There are always a few persons in the
community engaged in the virtuous but ex
pensive task of fighting over Hie last war.
There are some Democrats so oblivions of
the fact that the war is ended and slavery
dead that they keep battering away at the
Abolitionists and voting for Jeff. Davis.
There are some Bepnblicana bo zealous for
the war that they continue to waste tbeir
ammunition long after tbo enemy
has surrendered or gone to bis final
account. It is not strange that
the resentments and prejudices
engendered by the thirty years' strife over
the slavery question should still linger, ond
manifest their existence in national politics
bv an occasional fosilade along the dark
ened lines of fbe old battle-field. We sym
pathize with this feeling, ond we shall not
change onr course a hair's breadth
ns regards any question connected
with slavery and the rebellion which
can be regarded os still unsettled. Bat
when demagogues and knaves seek to play
open these decaying passions to keep them
selves in places of public trust, where no
prudent man would trust them with his
private purse—places which have no con
nection, near or remote, with slavery, or
the war. or reconstruction, or anything else
of a national character—wo shall advise all
good citizens to let tbo last war and tbo
next war take care of themselves, and to
fight in the present.
W« allege that our city govern nonl Is
corrupt. We do sot say that It Is corrupt
in all Us ports—that would not bo tmo;
but wo affirm thsl it in nut only corrupt iu
many Important parts, but that it in Immxuii

alarming feature in the Use in that, on time
rolls on, the corruptionist*become stronger
and the people weaker, Tbo office-holding

THE MINSZSOTA DEMOCRACY.
Tho Democracy of Minnesota, like their
breiUroa In Ohio and rcusylvanla, are very
anxious to get office.. They have bo*u out
in the cold a very long time. In Ohio they
talk, of greenbacks and negro suffrage;
in Pennsylvania, their candidate being a
“ bloated bondholder," they ignore the sub-
jeet of taxing the bonds, and say nothing
of greenbacks. They dodge, also, the ques
tion of negro suffrage. In Wisconsin, a lew
days ago, they nominated a man who had
supported the war, and they congratulated
the world upon the fact that slavery had
been abolished! Tho Minnesota Democracy
have just held their convention.
and they, too, have trimmed their
with a view of reaching an on
chorage in office. Their regular platform
waa about a* meaningless aa it could be ;
and go an “ old liner,*’—one of the adamon
tine Democrats who claims to have made
the voyage in the ark with the fathers, —
offered a resolution opposing the Fifteenth
Amendment. Then ensued a scene, the like
of which had never been seen in a Demo
cratic convention. The resolution was op
posed I Kegro suffrage was declared to be
a “dead issue,” and that man was pro
claimed an enemy to his party who would
attempt any longer to refuse political equal
ity to the negro. This, be it remembered,
in a Democratic convention. This, in the
nineteenth century. This, in the North
west This, while Lee, and Breckinridge,
and Vallandigham, and Pendleton, and
Frank Blair are living. This, too, without
obtaining any satisfactory answer to
that memorable and time-honored question
of the Democracy, “Do you want your
daughter to marry a negro?” This, when
California has voted to exclado the Chinese,
and the Democracy of Illinois and Indiana
Mill believe that negroes, having flat noses,
dark ekina, and splay feet, arc not human,
but a species of beast. No wonder the
man who opposed opposition to negro suf
frage was brave. Ho preached anew go«-
)>el in the Democratic synagogue. He
went back” on the fathers. Be proposed
to disregard the wishes of the Democracy
bf Kentucky. Ho was for forcing that
‘ ‘ sovereign Slate"' to permit her negroes to
rote. It was, os the reporters say after an
impressive sermon at camp meeting. “ a
refreshing season/ Old men were there,
and young men were there. There
were present men who, one year
uuq, at Kow York, vowed eternal
brotherhood with Wade Hampton ; who
bad declared that to elevate the negro to
(K>litlcal equality was the degradation of
the white race, to whose ape:lol custody
this nation was committed. But, alas for
the Caucasians! The negro had found
champions in the Democratic camp. The
negro had at last become fragrant 'ln nos
trils hitherto offended at hla proximity.
The old law and its anti-African commen
taries were solemnly burned, and the con
vention, —the Democratic Convention,—by
a vote of over two-thirds, solemnly and for
mally accepted the men with flat noses.

“ Khali we admit negroes to onr tabled ?”
was atcntoriously demanded. All this, once
productive of so much enthusiasm In Dnm

ominous alienee.

from official trust, arid that, if the eonven
lion opposed negro suffrage, it had hotter
nominate Candida lea who were used to being
beston. Another said that IbeDemocracyhad,
out of deference to (heir Southern brethren,
fought the negro; but,as the Democracy
down South were themselves running ne
groes for office, and were all In favor of
negro suffrage, h« did not sec why they in
Minnesota might nut do the ssme. Tbe
“ iirogrevudves" were called upon lo wwl
(bo party from (bo control of (be u im*
movables," —that is, tbo old fogies; and the
progressives did rally, and did declare that
(boy would sot say another won! agvnst
negro suffrage or the Fifteenth Amend
ment!
Whither are we drifting t Well may Val
landigfasm say that, with the overthrow of
the old loaders, the Democratic party will
change, its color, and give the lie to ita past
hutocy. The Democracy of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, wfib hare had practical expe
rience with negro suffrage in their States,
haul down their once defiant “all Cauco
’aan n flags, and adopt the Republican poll
'ey of political equality. In the race,—
to be squarely on that future national
platform,—arc the Democracy of Dll
nob to bo in the rear? Virginia, by a
unanimous rote, has declared for It. The
Democracy of Mississippi hare their negro
candidates stumping the State. Are Illi
nois Democrats to bo “ progressive,* or
“ immovable ? fixe they to cling to the
resolutions of *9B, and 44 Caucus!on”-ism, or
or ore they to join hands with their brethren
of Minnesota and welcome (heir dusky fel
low-citizens to perfect equality ?
WHAT THE WALL STREET LESSOR
TEACHES.
From the late financial battle in Wall
street, one man was carried away a
drivelling • lunatic; several van away to
avoid insanity; others were at times in dan
ger of lynching ; and over forty were bank
rupted, to say nothing of the hattdreda who
suffered heavily by losing fortunes,' which,
in view of tho mode in which they wero
won, must prove as fatal as they are dis
graceful to the other hundreds who won
them. Until ia wholly useless to find fault
with masses of business men for obeying an
invariable instinct of human nature in spec
ulating in any article of fluctuating value.
Tbe article really speculated in, in these
Wall street campaigns, b tho greenback. It
does not Ipwen the force or troth of this
foci that, in outside commercial circle*, and
oven in the Gold Boom, between any two
parties operating on • the same aide
of tbo fight, gold remained
at J 35. Tbe heavy betting that
gold could be forced up wan, in effect, bet
ting that greenbacks could bo forced down.
Tbe whole system of gambling results from
tho depreciated condition of our paper cur
rcncy, and could not continue a moment
after this evil were removed. Tbo experi
ence of four years has pretty conclusively
titled the point that the currency in circu
lation at tbe dose of tho war had on actual
value of about 72 cents per dollar, in gold,
which is expressed by quoting gold in this
currency at about 133 to 138. Gold has vi
brated frequently down to 131-2, and as
frequently to 148 and higher. But such
vibrations have been easily traceable to tho
exigencies of temporary abundance and
scarcity of either greenbacks or gold. Tho
rest problem before the country, there
fore, is, Bow shall we substitute for this
paper currency, worth 72 cents per dollar,
a paper currency worth 100 cents per doL
; Ur?
Whatever mode of resumption may bo
determined upon,—and wo arc wot at pros*
cut prepared to aay which it should he, —it
is certain that some legislative action should
be taken to effect ft resumption of epoole
payments at the very mxUml moment at
which out legislators can bo brought (o
tmdorsland the problem and agree upon its
treatment Judging from our past four

THE COUNCIL OF BOME.
We publbihod, a few ilajh ago, Iho Joint
letter of Dr. Jacobus ami Dr. Fowler, the
Moderators of the Old and Now School
Prottbytarian AoHcmblira of tho United
Stales, in answer to tho Pope’s general in-
vitation to tbo Christian world to attend tbo
(Ecumenical Council. They decline that
invitation because they do not admit the
authority nor tbo doctrines of tbe Cborch,
to both of which they would have to sub
mit os members of the council, and they
ably and dearly give the reasons for the
faith which they profess, and of Ibo Church
which they represent. Wo have also given
iho substance of Dr. Cummings' letter to
Iho Pope, requesting permission to attend
tho council and dispute in argument tho en
tire dogmas of tho Church and of the I*a-
pacy. To this letter tho Tope answers that
the council is not to bo held to reconsider
and argue tho correctness of any part of
the proclaimed faith of the Church, and
that, therefore, Dr. Cummings could not bo
admitted for tbo purpose proposed. Tbo
Pope, in this letter to Dr. Cummings, states
a fact that bos marked all tho councils of
the Church. These councils do not profess
to add to, or take from, the faith; but they
propose, as they have done, formally to ac
cept and declare, as having always boon tho
faith of tbo Church, dogmas hitherto re
jected or not previously formally acknowl
edged. Thus, the dogma of tho Im
maculate Conception, though only
formally proclaimed within a few
years, was proclaimed as having
been always the faith of tho Church, though
never before authoritatively enjoined upon
the members. So, in case the approaching
Council of Borne shidl adopt Papal infalli
bility as an article of faith, it will not be
adopted as something now, but asariogma
■which has been the faith of the Church
from the beginning, and henceforth to be
accepted by the faithful without question.
Dr. Cummings’ request to be allowed to
take up the Bo man Catholic confession of
faith as it has come down from previous
councils, and to discuss Us truth and va
lidity, was opposed to the whole theory of
the Church, and would bo a concession to
a heretic not heretofore permitted to the
most eminent prelate of the Church itself.
The great aim of the English Pusoyites
has been to obtain from Homo a restoration
of the Notional Churches, os they existed
previous to the Council of Trent. Previous
to that there was an Anglican Church in
England, a Galilean Church io France, and
the Church in the German Empire with sev
en! general divisions, mostly national.
Those were spiritually bound to Borne, but
within their own territorial jurisdiction had
independent governmental authority. The
scandals, abuses, and excesses which
disgraced the clergy, and gave such ad
ditional impetus to the Reformation, were
considered as the natural results of
this independence of tho National
Churches, and tho Council of Trent, sitting
in tho full blaze of tbo Reformation, and of
the poptnar clamors against tho abuses, '
both of diaciplino and of doctrine, among
its other changes, put an end to tho inde
pendence of Notional Churches, and unified
governmental authority in Home. Tho
l*nscytt«s of England want this Anglican
Church restored. They are Anglican Cath
olics, accepting the doctrines of the Church,
and acknowledging tho Papal head of the
Church, Iml insist upon their own right of
government. This the Church of Homo
will not admit; on the contrary, the su
premo authority of the Pope will, in all
probability, secure additional strength, by
the formal recognition of his infallibility.
Tho Council of Trent, in Its wholesale re
forms of discipline, while It succeeded
generally in consolidating the vari
ous National Churchm under one
direct control and government, failed to
accomplish (bis end In Prance, whore sav
ers] of the decrees of that council, In mat
tern of discipline, were rejected. Up to that
Umo'the Church in Franco bad boon almost
Independent of Homo in its government.
During tho 300 years which hsvo elapsed
slnoo the Council of Trent, this French
question has undergone many changes. Uy
means of concordats tho claima of Home
have been admitted, and, by the repeal of
these ooQoordsts, and the decrees of the
government, tho independence of the
Galilean Church has l>eon ro-eaUbUaboJ.
For a long period, Uoasuot’s declarations of
the rights and liberties of the Galilean
Church were what would be called at this
day U 6 * platform" ol the French Church.
In the revolution, the Church as well as
religion waa abolished by de
cree. When the Church was
re-established, tho Oallican puty was
tn (bn minority, and, (hough it lain had
many able champions, tbo Church in Franco
baa now practically surrendered ite inde-
pondonce to Homo. It is in view, probably,
of the finality which the coming Council
will give to the independence of National
Church government* that Pare Hyacinth e,
the famous Carmelite of Notre Dame, has
withdrawn from Lb order and renounced
hb allegiance to Borne. An attempt, some
half century ago, to establish a French
Catholic Church met with little favor, and
soon perished. Whether Father Hyacintbe
contemplates a like movement - now has yet
to be disclosed. 'Tbo despatches wo have
had, so far,'intimate that bis secession
from tbe Church is upon matters of doc
trine as well as of discipline, while the
Golhosn Church of history confined ib dif-
ference entirely to matters of internaljjor-
eminent. ’ * ■ *
Tbe Council of Homo will meet under
circumstances of serious import, tbe most
important of which b the threatened and
apparently inevitable .destruction of the
temporal power of the Pope. Tbe Council
of Trout mot under for more serious and
perilous circumstances. There ore at this
time so doctrinal controversies in the
Church; at that time the Christian world
was convubed upon doctrinal points. AUhb
time the Church stands separated from tem
poral governments in all lands ezoept'tbe
few provinces of which tbo Pope b nomi
nally the temporal ruler. Whoa the Conn
ml of Trent was called, tbo Church, in one
form or another, either in tbo old or the
now faith, woh part and parcel of the civil
power in every land. Then, Kings and Em
perore, as parts of the governments of Eu
rope, controlled, directed, and governed
the prelates within their jurisdiction, anil
dictatated terms to Borne,—defying iU
power, or sustaining and defending ita au
thority and claims.
That Council itself had a protracted and
perilous time. "Wo axe iufioiited to an arti
cle in tho CnthrUlc IForfif for tho following
details : In ISIS, Loo %, being then Pope,
Luther appealed to a General Council Loo
died. In 1C22, Adrian VL being Pope, tbe
Diet of Nuremberg asked that a council bo
called. Adrian died without octing on tbo
request, and Clement VQ., his successor,
refused it until 1633, when be agreed with
Charles V. to convene a council. Tbe eon-
troversy then was na to who should sit in the
council, and whether those who did take
part in it should he bound by its decrees.
Clement died in 1534, without issuing tbe
call, and his successor, Paul UL, sum
moned it U» meet at Mantua on the 23d of
May, 1537. The Duke of Hanlon opposed
the meeting, and, after many delays, it was
suspended. Subsequently, Paul IIL called
it to meet at Trent on November 1, 15(2,
though it did not actually meet until De
cember 13, 1545. The attendance was vary
small, there being present, besides the Pa
pal legates and the Cardinal Archbishop of
Trent, only four Archbishops, twenty
Bishops, and fire Generals Superior of re
ligions orders. Bishops, however, gradu
ally attended, and adjourned sessions were
held from time to time, until Hurch 11,
1547, aperiod of fifteen months, when, in
consequence of an epidemic prevailing in
Trent, tbo council was transferred to Bo
logna. Charles V., the German Emperor,
refused permission to .the German Bishops
to leave Trent. Necessity compelled the
Pope to prorogue the council in Beptember,
IM7, subject to bis future call. Pope Paul
died in and his successor, Julius til.,
called the council to meet again in Trout,
in May, ISM. It adjourned until Septem
ber, to give time W tbo German Bishops (o
attend, and again, for a like reason, until
October* and brief sessions were held
at long intervals until May, 1 f*r»2* In tbo
meantime, war bad broken mil in Ger

tbo Council actually met and bold iu sev

eido tbo legates, IOC BUbnps, four mitred
Abbots, and four Generals of Order*. Tbo
Council remainod in almost daily session
until December, 1503, when it closed iU
labors. In the Interval tbo attendance bad
Increased to 255 prelates of all degrees. In
Juiitiftiy,lsGl, tbo Pope gave bis approval
to its degrees, and they became the law of
tbo Church. Forty-six yean bad passed
since Luther bod appealed to a Council;
twenty-seven years since Paul bad sum
moned it to moot at Mantua; twcnty-oao
years since tbo date at which it was called
to meet at Trent; and nineteen years since
its first session at that place. The aggre
gate time occupied in all tbo sessions of the
Council was four yean and dght months.
The Council united the Catholic Cbnrcb In
all parts of tbo world, and formally sepo
rated those wbo were nominally claimants
of membership, but denied its doctrines.
The Council of Trent bad for its mission
the expurgation of the most terrible perver
sions of religion to the lowcat and meanest
passions of human nature. In point-of
fact. It reformed tbe Cbarcb itself;
it rooted ont the most shocking
depravities, hitherto successfully practised
by churchmen, under the forms of religion,
and instituted tbe most rigid discipline for
the prevention of like corruption. Tbe
present Council has no such work before it.
It is called, not to reform the Church, but
to reform tbo politics of the world, which,
since the Council of Trent, have undergone
the most wonderful change. Kings and
Princes now bold their seats by permission
of (heir subjects, and popnlor will bos taken
tbe place of inherited sovereignty. Instead of
Emperors, and Kings, and Princes, and
Bakes, tbo Church has now to deal with
whole peoples. Ecclesiastical Interference
with and control of temporal affairs have
poKsed away, and man, tbo world ovor, has
recognized tbo great principle of Christ—
that His Kingdom is not of this world, and
that tbe tribute due onto Him is wholly dis
connected with the tribute which Crcsar
may chum. So changed ora affairs in tbe
world, compared with tbe time when tbe
Connell of Trent assembled, that tbo attend
ance of Bishops at tbo Council of 1 PCD is no
where objected to ; and while all nations
look with respect, not to say veneration,
upon such on assemblage of learned ecclesi
astics, there is no government, however bum
ble, that feels under tbe slightest opprehen-
Biontbat Us decrees will have tbo remotest
effect upon political affairs.

The London Lanetl recites a fatal experiment
In practice, recent]/ made under tbe aoaptces or
that moat learned bod/, tbe French Academy of
Science. A patient suffering from cholera having
reached the state of collapse, a member of tbe
academy, reasoning from the fact that muscular
contraction followed the exhibition of prosaic
add, decided to try It upon him. A dose was
given, with no special effect. It was several
times repeated, contraction did not ensue, but
neither did the usual consequences of applying
poison. In n short time, mnscnl&r contraction was
resumed, and then, to the astonishment of the
physician, the patient almost immediately ex
pired. Cleat!/, he bad been poisoned to death,
wnile he was tn collapse, the prussic acid was In
active as if it had been placed upon a dead tissue;
th« moment clrculaUon commenced It was taken

[pbox on eneux, coi
Salt Laics Cirr, Utah, Sejrt. so.
Tour unassuming, but bra re and accomplished
explorer, MsJor Powell, has rs—ri here on his
way home, and favored us with % lecture on tne
Colorado canon, which he was undoubtedly tbe
first to go throagh. From the mouth or tae Cm
tah, on the Green, to the xnoatb of the Yirgeb
(which the Major regards as the bead of naviga
tion on tbe Colorado), It u about mo mflea. in
this distance the fan Is 5,000 feet, most of U com
pressed Into one-filth the space, yet Is there no
tingle fall more than twenty-two feet In height,
and these numerous falls or rapids are not caused
by rocks in place, but by Mtia fallen la from the
Sidewalls. These often rise to a height of a, 200
feet, are wholly of aqueous origin, and show no
signs of mineral other than cool, have been cut
and carved by the winds and waters into curio os
shapes, and are destitute of vegetation. There
was found a succession of canons rather than one:
Cataract Canon, fifty miles tong, lost below the
brad of the Rio Colorado proper, which U formed
I by tbe Junction of the Green and Grand; theo
I Mound Canon, slxty.flve miles long: Monament
I Canon, seventy-five miles; Marble Canon, forty
I miles—which brings us to the month of tho Little
Colorado, below which U was ouch the same as
above.
The exploration occupied about three months,
and was successful, having oeen unattended with
loreof life, or serious lou of anything else, aU
though a painful uncertainly rest* upon the fate
of three of the men, who declined to attempt the
passage of some bed rapid* toward tbe end of the
trip, and started with scant rations for the Mor
mon settlements overland, pearly ISO miles dis
tant. The Major bad not beard from them when
he left, but a report has reached tula etty of toree
men haring been killed oy the Indians In mat
region, and there is little doubt as to their being
| .Powell’s men. O. O. Howland, hla brothtr, and
I another. The report Is that they merited death
1 by wantonly killing a squaw, but I have known O.
[ a. Uowlind personally many years, (and 1 have no
hesitation tn pronouncing this part of me story a
libel. It was not tn the man's faithful, genial
nature to do such a thing.
This canon has been regarded a* the mo*t
I notable example on earth of the erosive action of
I water. In Governor GUnlo’s sonorous phrase. It
cleaved the snowy cordillera to its root*, bur-
I rowed through the bowels of the primeval znoua-
I tains, and add concealed in the depths of Us
I mysterious shadows, tbe precious metals tn mass
I and position, it is popularly supposed, too, that
I the mountains makfc the clouds. Major Powell
] has incontinently pricked one of these Illusions,
I and It must perish with the popular fables of bit
| tory. For the other, he maintains that the clouds
made the mountain, by carving and carry-
Img away the original high table land
which coDßtUatcd the continents, and
fonntrg la the course ot ages broad, fertile
bastos like that of the Mississippi, which U a mar*
▼clloui instance of |the entire action ot water.
The Colorado ta wholly formed by the melting
■nows of the northern mountains about Us sources.
Thence pursuing a rainless Journey to the sea, it
has no lateral waters, and baa consequently cat
a mere passage for Itself, making It only remark*
able as the tauf eroilvem tta action of any great
river in the world.
Major Rowell has now mot three rammer* cz*
plorlug the Rocky Mouotalut, au<l designs to pat
in two more, about the sources of Del Ttorte,
which 1 pteClct will be found a far more Interest
ing teuton than the Immense sandstone table of
the Rio Colorado. It Is to be hoped that Congress,
or the War Department, or some other competent
puthoiliy, will provide for the publication of lit*
reports atlhe public charge.

The toen who recently robbed WclU, Fargo it
Co.'a Kipreae, rn n*tf Iron) Helen* 10 Coflnne,
stout aercuty qillor north of lha latter place,
lure all teen caojtbt. There were two robberies,
near togcllirr amt Id the eame locality, (hp flrat of

on the llotse Hue, the latter (ttiQl the aunny Aouth,
assisted by three or four dummies. They were
irenl by n party led l>y Han Itoohtoa,
long an employe of the Overland, anil
uue of the Iwst men in (ho West, and
tired a rtnyeti nr twenty shots on their pursuers,
one passing through Itolddui, from which it was
at first thought ha would die, hut he is getting
well. Jsuig wan killed, and Hioue's teg shattered
so that It had to be amputated. lie Is a prisoner
near the scene of the rohlwry. The treasure sio.
leu by them was all recovered, Btnne having been
over-persuaded by kindness to tell where It was.
Tho other party numbered three, and wax fol
lowed through trackless wastes and over moun
tains br Deputy United Biatcs Marshal John Hol
land, to Klko, mod thence on the railroad to Win
nemocca, where two of them, Edmond Jones and
Philip Hpanglcr, were captured. They are now in
Jail Id thu city. Tho third, umed McCoy, is yet
at large. They are said to bo ell of respectable
famine*, and to have served la the rebel army. I
am uninformed as to how much of the treasure
stolen by them, If any, has been recovered.
Thta will doubtless do tho road agents for this
year, and It u well, became there are no boats at
Benton, and tho Indians north of Helena are
making it unpleasant for tho ooocbea o»a «•
ibocktaavia. Treasure and travel would Ml go
from Montana rfa Corinno and the railroad this
tali but for the read agents, who are wono tkan
the Indians. It seems strange tbe prelection still
finds followenu It Is no great trick to "get the
drop" on a coach load of unsuspecting passen
gers, and then rob tho express,*ln which none of
them baa any interest—nothing In It smacking
enough of danger to be fascinating, I should*
think. And of all the road agents of the lan ten
years not one lives to bout of his exploits. From
the nccetmtyof the case, they are regarded as
wild beasts, to be banted to death, and it Is the
exception where ono of them Uvea even a few
months to enjoy tbe frolta or hia singular enter
prise.
Tho Mormons have at length arrived at a settle
ment with the Union Pacino Railroad, and have
taken a part of their pay In track iron
and rolling stock forehe Utah Central. In nothing
was the e*ynt dueorj* of (he Saints ever better ex
emplified than in the way they take this. They
know that their railroad won't pay interest on
cost and running expenses; that ins not to their
interest to baud it at present; that it will be all
but Impossible to raise money by mortgaging it:
that its stock won't sell; that the most of those to
whom the Union Pacino were indebted cannot af
ford to take their pay in Utah Central stock, be
cause it will break them np; and yet one hears no
word of complaint. If religion is sclusacrlflce, and
rtetiffw, the Mormons certalaly have enough
and to spare. They begin by sacrificing tbem
tclves, and after that what U property ? Toe
merest trash of coarse. The secret of sacb devo
tion to a delusion is the mystery of Mormonum.
Bat the construction of the road has received a
new Impetus. The Iron has begun to arrive, the
grading vs half done, and is being pushed; the ties
ore being delivered and laid, sad before cold
weather the stage route hence to Ciotah—the
dustiest and roughest in the whole world—will be
come “ extinct," as Major Powell said of s range
of granite mountains he found on the Colorado.
Cut that tt waa extant no longer ago than last
summer, the bumps and bruises of numerous
vuiton to the city will fully authenticate.
tn* jCKcnox.
Speaking of railroads reminds tne that the latest
Government Commission, appointed by President
Grant under act of Congress, passed eastward
over the road last wee*. They took a careful in
ventory of the yet unaccepted part, and It u din
cult to see how they are going to avoid recom
mending its acceptance, which will give the bonds
to the company that built it—the Union Pacific.
Thc ,, ljeea" of both roads were along and en
deavoring to agree upon the vexed question of
the Junction. The Union Pacific stand on the
letter ot theft bond of last April, which was; they
to build the rood to Promontory Summit, and the
Central Pacific to pay for and own it westward of
a point at or near Ogden, within eight miles. The
Union Pacific built the road and brought tn their
tittle bill, itemized, nearly a mile, amount
log to about U.ft’OiOOfl. They had nothing more
nor less than this to sffer, unless that they would
sell the twenty-four miles westward ol Corione,
lor actual cost, and allow the Central Pacific the
use of the toad for freight from cortuoo to Ogle a,
at the same rate* per talie charged by themselves
oo their own road.
This, ilr.lluoUßgton seemingly could not ace.
lie «uti miles. mllea. lie wU) sot pa; the H,*
ooi.ooe. lleperhapehas the aUcrnatlrc* of going
into an expensive and arduous lawsuit, while
the running of both roads demands immediate
settlement; of holloing a road for himself from
Promontory to Ogden; or or accepting the propo.

From tkt Xea York World, Sept. 25.

be remembered, and not easUy to be forgotten by
those who witnessed tt or were caught w the nuel. 1

of boll* and bears were engaged m the resale.

There were forebodings or the cocnag battle on

but lived two yean longer he would break him.
With these threat* flying around tne air, ue baDs
asd bean took their respective places la toe
streetvesterday. Both odea looked defiant, but
the balls to stocks wore a disheartened lace and
seemed to dread toe contact. The bears la stocks
were exuberant, urging everybody to sell, and
made a nerce attack upon Central and Uodsoo.
They were 101 l o( foam, roaring sad growling as
though they were determined and confi
dent of their ability to tear. everything to
pieces that came within their reach. The lint ap
pearance on toe street 01 the t>csra was signalled
by the seizure of Central and Hudson stock. They
shook it like so many demons, growling like ter

lowest that It bos touched during this panic.
While toe bean were engaged at tots tesrioj-tO'

appearance, and todk op hi* quarters la toe private
omce ot a Unsocial laatltuUoo, and oammeoced
bajlng Central, taking all that was offered. It
soon rallied to over iso. aod that, too, before
many of too bears could pick op toe stock* which
they had been stoking to pieces.

This attack opua the stocks was bo*, preliminary
to the gnat straggle that was to take place la tne
Gold l(u»tu The bears in stocks left the stock
msrtvt and transformed themselves into balls.
and soon turned up in the Gold Room, with all the
paraphernalia of bulls, held! erect and defiant aod
horns in the air. No sooner bad they male toetr
appearance there than they commenced pitching
in, lowing gold ap snd catting ’op all meaner of
pranks, in which they appeared to take great de
light. T&e bolls to stock tra&sterred toemselves
into bear*, and came op to meet too bon* with
great courage and confidence, rae (owing power
of tae hull* wm at Ora; too much for tho bears.

nertu; the hears haa recovered trom the first
liwele’and begun to pitch to, selling roM to tbo
bulls at 160. Brown Brothers made t&elr appear-
ance at this moment with cue million of gold; tne
price jumped down to U 9; ;( but luimedistelr on
the next quotation went back to 160, ifil acd ICI
Here tbe atregale became more desperate than
ever. Tne hears became furious, roared and
pitched lo at a fearful rate, with {treat douhts
which would he worsted, la the midst of this
struggle a rumor went fifing through the street
the; the government had loaned the English house
of Baling Brothers five mUioni; following this
cane an offer from IJuncan k Sherman to sell
from three to thirty millions; then the report that
the government would sell fonr millions of gold to
morrow, one of (he brokers of the clique asked
the broker who offered to sell “ what be intended
to dor' Ills reply was, “You hare been boring
all tbe time and here gal the price to a figure
where 1 propose lo commence to sell L will sell
you toy sum under thirty millions for 160."

At thu point a rumor, which proved to tie cor
rect, was put In circulation by the bears that a de
spatch bad been received by the Assistant Treas-
urer in ibis city, from Secretary Bouirell, order
ing the sale to-day of tour millions ot gold aua the
purchase of lour millions of bonds.

that •• he had received an anonymous note con
taining a threat to shoot him: btu ho would now
offer led for one or five millions of gold; let the
mao who wants to shoot oome on, u be dares.”
Three minutes later he was retreating from the
room, completely annihilated, and returned to his
office, where be had to shot his doors and refuse
to take the gold which he bad bought. Ue subse
quently made a statement tn tne board that hit
bids were made on venal orders of James Fisk,
and that those of the day previous were made
usoa orders of Mr. Belden, and (kit hla inability
to make bis contracts good arose (Tom the fact
that neither of these patties had given him any
margin. This ctrcuinstance gives as good an idea
as anything what there was To this gold babble.
It shows that a lew men have been bidding np the *
prices, without having funds to do tt with. It has
oeen a fictitious thing, trading without capital, and
by a bold and desperate movement tt has fright
ened the atree*, and set taem into selling stocks
and buying gold at high price*. A more detperau,
disgraceful and diabolical scheme was orrer be
fore set on foot. All who saw throogn it knew
very well that its success would be of snort dura
tion, and that when the crash came It would be
followed by a fearful tumble. The best firms in
the street Kept aloof from the bubble, protected
themselves, and waited for the storm to pass
over. The result is that most of the large firms
remain intact and are in just as good condition as
before to proceed with business.

For as bear after the babble broke, and tbe goM

perfect mu Frcfjbody was looking around to
gee who tad beet wounded in the struggle. A
majority cl those to be seen wore cocerful coon
r.^nr—, and were greatly elated orer tae cessa
tion of tbe storm. AU breathed easier, and a
sense of relief was apparent to every direction. A
Utile later, and there waa a malt of those woo had

metal to deiiverr which the/ had purchased at tbe
faHt but (bey were ""**»»* to obtain admittance,
asd bad to return with their gold. AU noise hail
ceased, and they were engaged lu quietly ta,nng
over the events of the as/* counting up tbe
dead and wounded bolls. The street was
densely packed by the crowd, who re
mained there onttl near dark. When
they ' came to ' understand the desper
ate same that tbe leading pantos engaged mthls
movement had been playing, the rtoad began to
be excited. This increased, until a rush ***
flnallj made on the office ol Smith. Gould, Martin
i, Co- with the apparent intention of demolishing
tu Nothing short of interference by the police,
with assistance from the Sheriff ’a office, prevented
their camltgont thl* intention. Fisk made ms
appearance on tbe street at this time, and he waa
bcaet In all directions;, one man, about half drunk,
cited out, "Lotus bang the fellow to me lamp,
post,** ana tome one else gave FUK’s nose a poach. ■
lie dtoppesred s* soon ms possible, and thus pre-
Tcn’ed all physical haim. The other parties con
nected with the clique kept themselves scarce,
and were not te be found by tbe excited crowd.
The excitement now aabalded, and toe crowd
agam engaged m quiet couvemtion, ana anally
left the street, rejoicing and manifesting great ox
nberaace ore* tbe turn teat matters had taken.
At the close of the day on Thursday, Flak, Gould,
and Woodward were engaged m denouncing
Vanderbilt, and trying to convince those
who bad loot by holding me
stocka ot Central and Hudson tear they
owed all their calamity to the commodore's de
ceiving them. They worked up coattderable
furore to this line, but yesterday the tide bad
turned. They found mat the Commodore was on
hano to sustain bis stocks, and that the goid
clique was toe party which indicted all thU lost
upon theta. The feeling, therefore, broke out
agslDit tn« gold clique, aud they came in for de
nuodaUoos bom loud and deep.

Variona are tbe speculations in regard to the
manner in which the bobble has been managed.
It ts dear to all that (he whole panic has been on
artificial one; that there is nothing in the condi
tion ot tbecoontryor me state or ihc finances to
jusilty it; further, that it bus tvwa engineered l>y
a set of unscrupulous men, »ao hoped to obtain
gain by the mwortuoes of others. That they
have succeeded in nearly ruining many la appar
ent, but it Is likewise clear that they bare denol-
Übeo il not completely ruined themselves. They
have bollt a house of cobs and It has tumbled
down on their own heads.
There are numerous motors m regard to the po
sition of Secretary Boutwcll to this affair. One
thing la clear-some or the leaders la the clique
urged (heir friends at the eommeacement to bay
gold, that it was going up to iso. They were root
with a response that this was a dangerous move
meet, for Mr. Bontwelt would prevent their ac
complishing it The response was, “Mr.Bout
well is to-day in town; we have seen him. and
would not engage in it were it not for his con
sent.” That he sympathized with and aided toe
movement for a rise is universally conceded, but
the pressure of public opinion became so great
that he was compelled to change hla coarse and
lend tala influence to break tho bubble. It was
this unexpected interference ol the Secretary of
the Treasury that caused (be crash. They mi
counted upon that; in fact,|relled upon either as
sistance, or, at the most, hands off. The fact that
the order cent to Ur. IHUtctfleW to anticipate the
Noreml»er interest was so loeg delayed after in
uate, ts brought dp os evidence of this connivance.
It was rumored yesterday that the Chamber of
Commerce intend lo Inquire Into this matter, and
ascertain. U possible, II Mr. Doutwell really had a
hand In the movement to put up the price.
The great storm is now ever; unis expended
Its force, and now will cornea calm. Too gold
bulls bare been routed, and are moving nreund
with broken, severe wounds, and tn tv disabled
condition generally—living examples of tne folly
of men In trying to get uoa fictitious panic, ami
creating an artificial pressure lor money. These
desperate men Pave been Plneed on tiie retired
list, where they will not bo able to inflict any
lurtbet hatm lor (he prevent.
In summing up the result, II appears that hun
dreds have lost heavily In stocks, and others in
Froidi that Boutweii aided the imnlc.mnker* until
ie got tUctn deep m the game, and fltteUv. under
the pressure of public opinion, deceived Ilium:
Ihoirnnsucrs of the clluue cheated their agents:
the whole duple *u*|)eiidril: the lairfonuanoo
ending with Fi«* having been disabled. (Hi this

The Gold Uoutu was the great potato! attraction
this morning, sud at an early hour the room ana
Its gollertea were crowded with people awaiting
funner developments regarding the remit sru*t
gold speculation. Mr. Townsend Cox. President
ot the Gold Rxchangw, toot the chair at 10 o’clock
and called the board tu order. Thotkcretary then
read the following communication from the Gold

Mr. Hoyt, the vice President, then made a
speech. In which he counselled caution and mod
eration—at the same tune requesting tho members
of the board to listen to tho advice of the older
heads of the Gold Room. He closed by recom
mending tt» adjustment of difference* between

would prevent farther compHcauous in the room,

The crowd in the Gold Boom gradually dis
pened and the room itself presented a deserted
and quvet aspect scrangty in contrast with the wild
excitement which had prevailed for a long time
oast. The members actually need rest after the
late ex ham ling excitement which most have been
a severe strain upon them, both mentally «sd
physically, Pome few of the brokers remained In
the room discussing the situation, bat the great
bulk of them wended their way to the Gold Ex
change Bank sod endeavored to Qod oat how they
stood. Toe bank omcials and clerks are Still hard
at work trjlogto straighten out the brokers' state
ments, but the magnitude of the clearings of yes
terday, which will probably aggregate fin hxtnJrli \
ntffii’n* f/dotor*, renders this s verv tedious and .
Oirhcult operation. Much time will be required I
to end out the exact situation of affairs,
and in the meantime every one should
endeavor to quiet mailers as much os pos
sible. The adjournment of the Gold Boom to-day
was a wise and prudent measure under all Ue sur
rounding circa au lances. If will do much towards
quieting cutters, and undoubtedly render great
assistance to the broken m xnanr ways.
The prompt settlement ot the existing difficulties
1 in the GcW Rooaiapsrl from the speculative aspect
of tneqaesUon, is of ihemost vital importance to
thecouutiyatlarge. The groin crops of the West
are beginning to move towards the seaboard, and
already the cotton of the booth la moving from tho
interior to the seaports. The moving ol these
crops means in plain English the payment of debts
from the coantrv to the Atlantic cities, mure re
peclolly in New York. At the present crista la
the Ould Boom, the stoppage of baslnes* for
any letgth of tune wonld serioosly check our
exports and thereby delay the- liquidation of
debts by the country to the aty mctvhsnu, and
seriously dstcage the fall trails now In progress.
TBcJadjonnuncntol the Gold Board to>dsy win
probably enable the broken and the Gold Kx*

or Tuesday, when a general resumption of bam.
ness coaid take place. In (bis Important ertsts we
forbear to report any fail ore, altboogh there have
bees some and nay possibly be more Wo hope,
however, that things may turn out better than ex
pected. Many brokers, no doubt, have wrongs to
complain of. but the great aim of every man
■mmid he to settle matters in some way and re
sime business at the earliest possible moment,
let every moo in the oommuuliy perform ita duty
is this important crisis by calming the paobo mind.

corporations should bet millions would attract the
same kind of interest, aod would have as real
and vital a connection with iho trade of the
romiity.
the tight was fonaht and decided last as
a faro bank flubu a conspiracy of Us customers.
It was a contest of Dervc and coufldctico “backed”
by long purse*. The party which had bought up
all the gold wlthm reach, and put op Its price,
seemed to l«o victorious. They displayed their
power overall who bad sold “short” gold, and
wan busy making triumphant settlements, nnd
contracting for euunmma differences, when some
of the wealthiest bankers of the world, whose
tuans hail been sktlMiiy laid in concert with their

H was at this time that tha Treasury announced
Ihe Idle of »1,000.000 of gold footer. This «»•
nooneement doutdmsa precipitated tiu-lr retreat;
bid Ihey were r*»ruliall) beaten before. Ind-ed,
had ihey not been broken m courage by a private
coiiiMiisilon, this movement of Die Treasury
would have Item a Might thing for them. Hut to
the hesitation nnd confusion which tha foreign
bankers had already produced among them, this
new aiiaek from thu government )«it mom no
bojo* orroiifldrnre; and they seem bo have sur
rendered ai discretion.
The icvßta wmictavd to tne neighborhood ot
the Hold Exchange, throughout tha day, were in
teresting to a student of human nature. Here

men who have always polled lor *ot»er and quiet

pttrsu* Hum. In Ibc great bankers' offices sup

violent language, as to the purport of verbal or

be mane insolvent; while others, fearful ol those
wikmu their machinations have ruined, surround
themselves with armed officers, or drive rapidly
away IQ close carnages. One overtaxed brain la
consigned to an asylum fur tho insane! another
goes home so oppressed by the terror of floancul

The scenes* however, are not all oi a serious
character. Even war has its comic side, and
every intense excitement seeks relief tn playful

The very moled in which Wall street speaks, and
In which all us business la carried on, is the work
ot a genius for humor, which most be widely
spread among its frequenters. This dialect Is al
ways enlarged by such a day a* yesterday, and
new bits oi metaphorical slang are received with
general delight, aod help aa much to confuse the
din of the Gold Boom aa to save It* brain* from
actual lever. Its members constantly told one an
other, yesterday, to “keepiheir brads level;”and
perhaps the form of the suggestion sometimes
helped the effort to obey It.
The most memorable fact of the great gold
“ comer” has been the interference of me Treas
ury. This has made U, instead of a mere struggle
between gsos of gamblers, an event of national
Importance. Itla the greatest defeat the Treas
ury baa met with under the present administra
tion. Nothing has brought n more credit hitherto
than its announcement that ail sole* of gold
»houM be public*, with due “notice of the amount
to be sold: and that all sales should be made with
out reference to speculation, solely on public
grounds. Beth of Dies** principles hare been
abandoned; the largest sale ever announced
1» trade to meet a speculative emergency, and
in ahi of oce side tn a gambling contest; aod
the government refuses' to announce the
amount xu be sold, but reserve* the right to
accept any number of bids, fur anv amount and at
any price. 1 bis sudden abandonment of every
•oand principle In the sole of cote cannot but af
fect the country unfavorably. It tends to destroy
the conQdence m the independence and wisdom
of the Treason, which ha* been slowly growing
tp for rt* momos past. It directly encourage*
thai epeculailon for a decline In coin which nos
mined so msny bustnew men, and which la the
real cause ot all such wild fluctuations in the cur
rency as those of the past week, it 1* thus a fun
damental mistake in administration widen will be
deeply regretted by an who wish wisdom and hon
esty to go band In fund m the government of the
nation; by none, wc believe, will it be more re
gretted hereafter than by those who have been
aisled into ordering it now.

the better for nil honest traders. We recall a
m>>t sinking illustration. A good lady, whose

butcher's shop, and an errand boy thereto be
