The Corner In the Oold Room.
from the Nation,
For the first time Bince the suspension ol
specie payments, gold was worth last week one
ppr cent, for Imniedinti delivery. Tbe phe
nomenon i easily explained. All the floating
geld in the city amounting to some $12,000,000,
only $7,000,000 of which is in the banks hos
been bought up bv a few wealthy speculator ,
and they, tailing In their attempt to put up the
price, have endeavored to indemnify themselves
by refu-ing to lend gold. This presses with
severity upon merchants who want gold to pay
custoinsj duties, aud npon speculators for the
fall, who have sold gold short, and are forced to
borrow at the exorbitant rates of the day. .".So
far as this latter class of persons is concerned,
the public are not inte-ested in their losses. If
a man chooes to sell that which he ha? not got
in tho hope that he may be able at a subsequent
period to buy it lor delivery at a lower pr.ee, he
take tne chances of the maiket, and cunno
lint 1 v complain if speculators on the oDnosiie
tide combine to make hltn pav more instead of
lei-s than he got for tho property he sola.
These tire the lortunes ot trade, utid no f a r
tiuder has a right to complain when they make
nf.'uinst him. But the "corner" in gold is in-
ti c tingtio little sniffling npon meicnants who
require gold for legitimate business purpose-i
i' no who find that they cannot get It because
Messrs. A, B, and C have bought up all the iloat
ing cold in the city, and will not lend or sell i
except at exorbitant rates.
T he grievance is not new. It has recurred a'
livervuls during the past, three years. On a
dozen occasions a few bold operators, command
ing lame amounts of capital, have been enabled
to corner the geld market, to embanass cjtn
tnercial operations, and occasionally to impair
tbe crcdit.ol tho Covnrnmen'. And it is la vatr
that a remedy bus been soucht, Mr. Thuddcus
Sievens tried to cure the evil by making it penal
to demand a premium on gold; but such puerili
ties only excited contempt. Other loyal men
have thought to discredit the cold room and its
operations altogether; but, thoutrh tbe room is
supposed to be controlled and officered by men
ot doubtful polities, and Jeff. Davis tnav, pr
imps bo quite as popular in that institution as
the late Abraham Lincoln, it is none the bss
clear that, so long as our currency remains at n
discount, a gold exchange w ill be a necessity of
the time, ohd the preseut one, with all Us faults,
is probably ns good as any new one could be.
li is uniortunaie, perhaps, for the sold room
that the ojiittsi-Itebels and Copperheads have
found admission within its walls.
But the outbieak of (be war drove nearly one
hall of the 6inart merchants ot the South to New
York in 9earcli of employmetit or their brains,
and that employment they round, for the -most
art, in the gold room. You shall find there
ex-traders trntn Louisiana, planters Irom Geor
gia, merchants from Tewic'jsee, clergymen from
the Cnrolinas a varied assortment, in short, of
Southerners, all ditiering in their origin and
aptitude, but generally agreeing in Southern
proclivities. That this class of persons should
be in tho gold room is, perhaps, uniortuuate;
that, by combining, they should have the power
ot raising the price of gold, and so raising the
cost of all imported articles, is also uniortunate;
but to abuse the ioora in consequence is, to say
i be least, hardlv loeical.
It is the legitimate privilege -f every man to
buy gold, if he be so minded nJ can pay for It.
The public have no right to su.v to linn: Vour
purchase of crold is going to add 10 per ceut. to
.no wot Ut nly teft, cotico, o,,i....o, 1,1m ei,
blankets. Witli that he has nothing to do. He
bus the same rmht to buv $10J,(MI0 goid as the
public have to buy a pound of tea or a pair of
bl.tukets. And there Is no law, custom, or
ccmity which prevents him combining with
twenty other speculators to buy up all the e-old
in market. Ii be does so buy, and so combine,
we cm only "griu and bear it." It is hard that
a partv of gamesters should by their specula
tions eiibanca the cost of every cuo ol tea drunk
by the poor throughout tbe United States. But
there is no remedy, save the inexorable opera
tion of the laws of trade, which are sure to
come into play sooner or later.
Anellort, it is said, will be mode at the next
session of the Legislature to p jnish the gold
room for its interference with value3. It will
probably take the shape of a tax upon gold
brokers' licenses, and sales ol gold. A tux of
$1000 ajearon each license, and one-te to. of
one per cent, on each sale of gold would add a
cous-Kierauie amount ot Mate revenue, and
might be constitutionally levied. But no sttca
vindictive legislation would cure tbe evil.
lhe main reliance ot merchants whose busi
ness is disturbed by the constantly recurnug
comers in gold must be upon the fundamental
las ot trade. If gold be forced above its tair
relative value by the speculations of the gold
room, it is certain as any mathematical truth
that it mutt react. If gol I be ma le worth ona
per cent, a day by the cornering operations of
duii Fpecuiuiors. specie will tfovv huher from all
Farts of the world lor employment in so lucr
ive a business. Already the ' telegraph, which
nunounced to Europe our emhurrissei condi
tion, has notified us that $500,000 are corning
here tn me Alemannta, and SGUrt.OOO in the
Scotia, besides S3.000.0')0 iust received in the
Calilornia steamer. At this rate the bulls in the
gold room wlU have their hands full within
the next fortnight. They may undertake to cor
uer tbe Wew York market, b it they can hardlv
expect to carry all the bullion of the civilized
v. ortu.
Piessure has been brought to b?ar udob the
Secretary of the Treasury with a view to induce
him to sell more gold. A pronunciamen'.o in
this sense, signed by leading bankers, was pub
lished in the papers a tew days slues. The
Secretary has oxpt rience enough to distrust any
cuiieciivw iieuuuii oi ounxers or mercnants.
Such petitions are too often prompted by nidi
vulual interest. If we are ever to get buck to
specie payments, the corner-stone upon which
u:e new etiiuce win oe outll must 00 tho specie
reserve in the United Stales Trcusurv. liesumn.
t ob will take place when that leserve becomes
co large that the Secretary of the Treasury can
at oro to sav to tne noiuers of eca -tenders
"Gentlemen, we are prepared to pay oil your
pi per dollars in gold." On that instant the
banks will either resume or fail, ind the era of
baner monev in this countrv will onm r.'.,..
end. But if1 the Secretary is to go on sellintr his
goia as last as no gets it. now will hepverhn
able to redeem, or proclaim bis readiness to re
deem, nis teg8i-tenui rsr
The sold market is in a very dangerous posi
tion. There is no reason why gold should be
higher now than iu March last, when it sold at
12-1. ine present premium is itrhtlcially main
taincd, and as the-laws of trade vindicate them
selves. Hktail ot ten to twenty per cent, tvould

Catherine Luther, whose death was reported
the other day from Leipsic, and or wuom it wa
said cite was tho only traceable desceudant
the great reformer, was hatdly entitled to the
dieuity of being the last ot her race. In the
AuBtnon ministry of finance there is. or tuer
was as late as November of last year, a subor
tiinate clerk who bore the relormer's name, ant
was thought to be as immediately as Caiherln
the representative of the taini'.y founder. Iu
addition to the particulars which mude thejr
way to the press in regard to Catherine atore
sald, the lot.owing may be Interesting: At thfl
beeinuing ot this century but a siuele branch of
'he Luther family remained, and of that little is
known. John Michael Luther, born 1763, lived
it Erf'irt until 1801; was a physician, and went
abroad at the date last mentioned. Many years
later tho Luther-Veretn at Erfurt made Inquiry,
and found at Stocken, In Bohemia, Joseph
Charles Luther, a son ot John Michael, who had
settled at Stocken iu 1H11; married that year
Anna Popischak, and subsequently had by her
live children. The family was in the deepest
poverty. . Antony, the eldest boy, and ttie
brightest of the group, was selected by a wealtay
Protestant or Erfurt, and irlven scho ding facili
ties; but, proving brainless, was apprenticed to
a trade. Catherine is understood to be a daugh
ter ol this Antony. The Vienna offshoot proba

APPENDIX.
HINTS ON COOK1NU.
I. Soup.
Stock for soun mav be made from the bones of
joints of meat, added to any trimmings from
cutlets, chops, etc. Home cold water, mace.
nnd bones must b boiled tn an iron saucepan
tor six or eight hours, then be strained through
a colander, be left till next day, when the fat
must be tusen oft, and it not then a strong jelly,
the liquor must be returned to the bones, and)
all bo boiled over again for some hours. There
must be no vecetables boileu with it, and not
the least tat: and when it is cold, all fat that
may accidentally bu there must be taken off.
Stock must he made the day before It Is to be
used. It Is this stock whxh makes hashes and
stews delicious, which enriches all overcookod
meats, and which lorms tho basis of all soups
pea soup excepted. Other soups must be colored
wuu ourut sugar.
II. Fish.
Fish for frying must bo washed, dried, and
rolled in flour lor an hour, and then be placed.
me sainncu siue downwards, in plenty of bollimr,
dripping. A sole must never be turned on the
reverse side till it will lie tirm over the centre of
a knife or fish-slice. When removed from the
pan it must be laid on clean paper before tho
tire, to lree it from any fat which may adhere.
After a few minutes it must be removed to a
very hot dk h. There is no need of eggs and
bread crumbs.
In boiling fish of whatever kind the water
must be nearly boiling, whether it be uscl in a
trying pan or in a fish-kettle. Ti preserve the
color of salmon, a wineglassful of vinegar and a
lumo of sale must be added; the latter to all
fresh fish. Horseradish boiled in the water gives
cod a superior flavor. Soles must b covered
with boiling water and never turned, conse
quently the skinned side must be placed in
uppermost.
To Cook Sprats. Wash, dry, and flour them,
tuba bit of butter round a hot. frying-pan, lay
them in not to touch; in one minute t.irn them,
and in two minutes take them up, spread them
in a large hot dish before the tire for a minute
or two. then take each up singly on to a small
hot dish, and serve directly.
To Loosen Skins of Shrimps and Prawns. Put
them in a bain, pour boiling water and cover
close tor five minutes, then put them in a
co'nnder and hold them under a tap of cold
water; then shake them in a cloth till they tire
dried.
Plaice to Fry. Have middle-sized flsh filleted
by the fish-monger (each fish will give four
pieces), wash and dry them well, make a thick
batter of flour and a little milk or without the
latter; put some batter in a flat dish, dip in.
boih sides of the fish (the baiter should i'e like
a skin on the fish), lay the white srfiof the
plaice fn plenty ol' boiling fat; when it is stiff
across the knife and of a light brown, turn it
on the other side. When it is cooked, place it
on paper to absorb the tat, unl then on a clean
hot dish. It any roe is sent with it, cut it in
small pieces the size of marbles, dip it in batter
aud tiy it. Serve with a tablespoonful of
anchovy sauce to six of melted butter sauco
and ndo a little other sauce or ketchup. '
A Findon haddock should be divided In halves
be beaten, the skin hide downwards, on a table',
then be skinned from the tail upward; be laid'
the skinned side downwards, in a frying-pan of
bo'ling water only enough to cover. Then cook
from three to hve minutes according to the size
let it be taken up carefully and turned, the
bones downwards, on a hot dish, have somebut
ter ruboed on it before the nre, and be served
hot.
III.-Mcat.
All meats for boiling, whether they be salted
or fresh, should bo placed in nearly boiling
water. Let the water boil, up rapidly, then
draw the saucepan back, and only allow it to
simmer gently. "Meat bo-led is meat SDoilcd.'1
A deep or shallow fish kettle with a drainrr in
It will be the best saucepan for use, on no fork
should be stuck in the meat, aud it tan be lifted
by the drainer.
In a nuck of mutton, a breast of veal, a brisket
ot beef, or any similar joint, the bones must be
placed upwards in the water (to prevent the
curling up ot tbe joint), the two former be
boiled twenty-five minutes to the pound, aud
the beef halt an hour to each pound, always
allowing an extra ten minutes tor warmine
tbrongh. B
Roast meats mu&t be placed before a clear
fire, which must not be stirred while the meat
is cooking. Meat must be well floured before
placing it at the fire or in the oven.
The oven-door should never be quite shut
while meat is baking, or the meat will have an
unpleasant taste. If the cavity blluate at the
side of the oven (at the back of tho grate) be
not quite cleared lrom the tine ash-dust which
will accumulate there every day, the oven will
not baise. So sic times this is needed twice
& day.
Stewed Stoak or Pie. Do not fry the meat first,
as this extracts tho goodness. A brown color
may be giveu to lhe meat by using burnt sugar.
Choose tbe meat horn the shin of beef, thfs is
lar richer than any other for the purpose It
for a stew, cut the meat into pieces tbe size for
helping, but cut away most of the fat, roll them
lu flour and lightly pepper them, uud place them
in a tin. Mix in a basin, with very little cold
water, one tablespoonlul of flour, set it with
boiling water till like a irravv, color it with
boiling water poured over burnt sugar, then
pour it over the meat just to cover it. Shred
some onions in rimrs, and cut them across,
slice thin tome rendy-boilad carrot and oarsnlp,
sprinkle some salt over the vegetables, place
them ou the meat, and the fat upon the top of
all. Cover the tin closely with a dish, and bake
it tor three hours in a hot oven.
Stew the meat in like manner if wanted for a
pie, only stewing two hours; out omit the veae
tables, only putting iu a whole onion with three
cloves stuck in it. vVheu it is cild make a paste
crust to line the dish and for a cover, and bake
one hour and ten minutes. Stock for both pur
poses Is better than water.
Harrico mutton is much tbe same as beef
stew. Or a gravy might be made from stock, or
fry the vecetables first, ami strain them lrom
the tat, then mix flour, aater, and burnt sugar,
pepper, and salt; strain it, and make it boil in
the frying-pan, then put the veget stiles and
liquor together lu a sacepan, and lot it boil for
halt an hour. Get some tender chops, free from
fat, and trim them (the fat will fry the vegeta
bles, the trimmings will go to tbe stock pot),
broil them over a clear fire, or try thorn b put
ting them well floured into boiling fat, and turn
ing them frequently, then w hen they are cooked
set them in a dish and pour the vegetables over
them, and serve hot. If chops be cut froia.
cooked muttou, then they must stew slowly two
hours with the vegetables, as meat is always
hard when once cooked.
Haihed Mutton Cut the meat In thin slices.'
and take away all the fat. Mix two table
spoonsful Ct flour, a grate tf nutmeg, and a
