Mr Robert Bonner owns the New York Ledger. It
ts the fastest trotter out. Sometimes it trots out an
rittton of gno.noo. There Is only one other trotter In
tke world that can beat it, and that is Dexter. Mr.
Bonner has the reputation of understanding a horse's
foot better than any other living man. Ho applies
similar theories to his story paper, and nndcrstands
bow to make it put its beat foot forward. When Mr.
, Bonner is not driving Dexter he la driving the Ledger,
and dont like to trust either of them to any other
Bands. Dexter trots without books, and the Ledger
nndles without gloves those who seek to In
jure it. The hetUffr is a $t,000,000 paper. Dexter is a
$100,000. Mr. Bonner oilers that amount for
any horse that will equal Dexter's rjcent perform
ancea mile to heavy wagon In 2-21 . It is under
stood that when this champion Jockey-journalist has
retired from his newspaper ambitions, he will write a
altttory of tho hurse an symbolized In Dexter.
Judging from present appearaiiooH.howevcr.the time
is distant when he shall have grown veteran and
veterinary. The proverb says time is money. By
means of his two trotters, llonner makes both time
ky meaiiB or Dexter ami money by means of tbe
Ledger.
Sobriquet or the Sanctuary.
We give healthy mimes to our favorite churches
licre. In Paris they indulge lu such sweet profani
ties as Hotel God and Holy Ghost street, and the
idea is at once Roman Cuthollc and French. In New
York they nickname church and chapel, and baptize
them with such cognomens as Burlesque might in
vent wherewith tochrtsteu tho temples of Baal. For
Instance, the Kev. Dr. Houghton has In Twenty
ninth street, between Madison and Fifth avenues, a
church whose legitimate title is the Church of the
Transfiguration. It is a rambling oblong affair,
overrun with creeping plants, and half-hidden
with trees, a regular character in its way,
a queer ambush for a clique of Protestant
Episcopalians. It is never mentioned by
Its right name. I a' must wonder they have got It
down right in the directory. It is called variously
the Church of the Holy encumber Mue and the
Church or the Holy Grasshopper. Another example
of a profane nickname perhaps it might We called
an Old Nick's name is that of the Brooklyn I'ni
Urian Church, iu Clinton street, near Congress, pre
sided over by the Kev. J. W. Chadwick. It is a
round, ungainly sort of building, low, large, roomy,
and gloomy, outside it is something the hue of clay
before it becomes brick. You will see the exquisite
propriety, therefore!, of terming it the "Church or tho
Holy Mud Turtle." That is what it is called,
not alone by the profane world,
but by the Kaintliest or that peculiar
Beet or saints who constitute its congregation, and
who do not hesitate thus to slap the one Hod whom
they adore on the shoulder, and to hail fellow well
met with Htm. To mention one or two other exam
ples, however, the proper name or the church or
which the Kev. Dr. Bellows f pastor iu New York is
All Souls. Its architecture, however, is unique,
bring somewhat su:';e.stive f Moliuiiiniedlsm llnd
ing an exponent in American nia-ble, brick, and
aiortar, which arc so liiU'r-saudwlelied as to present
a very striped appearance. This opportunity was
sot to be lost by the pious nicknamers of Gotham,
wne accordingly bestow upon All Souls three
odd pseudonyms, viz.: the " Churcii of tlie
Holy Gridiron," tho "Beefsteak Church," and
the "Church of the Holy Zebia." One more illustra
tion, and I shall have said enough to convince the
reader of the sacred character of this psendonymic
tendency among metropolitan derote. At the corner
f Twenty-ninth street and Fifth avenue stands a
andsonie Dutch Reformed temple, the weather-vane
of which is a gilded rooster. In a lit of happy inspi
ration some spiritual-minded bird-fancier conceived
the idea of calling It the "Church of the Holy Shang
hai,"' wnich has stuck to it ever since. There is also
a lashlouable church iu Lexington avenue which
goes by the name of the "Church of tho Golden
Calf," from the notorious proportion of successful
gold gamblers.
The Iliirvnril Crew,
snch of them, that is, as arrived tit this port oa Sun
day, have been stopping nt the Alitor, and yesterday
endured that btsiegenient winch watts upon dis
tinction. Neither or tho three gentlemen, Messrs.
Bass, Burnham, and Rice, who complete the comple
ment or those that had arrived, has much to say.
Mr. Bass in particular throws himself lack upon Ms
hmwn. itnd remains mum aul muscular. His
friends think the Harvard might have won had he
been selected. Upon one point only is This last
installment of the Harvard Inclined to be conilden-
tlal, and that is the wellness with which they were
treated in the old country.
WrII Street Hippies.
As the wires will have informed you, the feeling
In the street all yesterday was extremely anxious,
and no business or any p'reat consequence was trans
acted. A committee or Hold Koom members was
appointed to investigate the status of each gold
broker at the Clearing House. Coin dealers in Wall
street purchased coin at 182 and old at 135 to their
customers. Money was very stringent at I V per
cent, per day, the ostensible cause or the stringency
being the fact that tl4,0oo,oo0 In gold were reported
locked up in tho Clearing House. At the Tenth
National Bank affairs were preternaturally quiet,
ami the title of business flowed on, to all appearance
as usual, the President or the bank claiming that i'
is creditor to the Gold Exchange Bank to
the extent or half a million. In the
(Supreme Court Chambers, a number of in
junctions were granted, npon the application or cer
tain lame ducks whom the gold gamblings of Thurs
day and Friday had compelled to waddle. Attach
ments were likewise granted against William Bel-
den, Alexander McKlnlcy, and George W. Hooker,
for secreting themselves and their property, with
intent to defraud their creditors. Ono of the more
trairicor the Wall btreet ripples was the Ruieiiie yes
terday morning or Mr. Solomon Mahler, a broker or
some standing. He had been lurgeiy interested In
the gold market, and the fluctuations were too dis
astrous to him ror liim to desire to live. So he
made hlmseir the target of three shots, two of which
took ell'ect. Well', well: the step from the (iold Koom
to thu crave is a ery short one. The Cruesug who
sDeculutes is but a suicide iu embryo, and Wall
street Is one or the widest paths conducting in a
Blantindlcular direction to ihu tomb. He whose
heart Is in his rollers is merely accelerating his body
towsrdB his codln. "Shrouds have iio poeketv is
w hat the moralist mentally inscribes over the Gold
Indicator in Maiden Lane.

THE NEW riJBLIC KUILMNGS.
Tfce Plan of John MrArthitr, Jr., Accepted
An untune or tho Drslarn-IIow the New City
Hall will Look when Uuill.
At the mcetlmr or the Board nf Cnmmlmlnnnni nf
the New Public Bnildimrs. vcterdnv afternoon, thu
plan of Mr. John Mc.Artliur, Jr., wm awarded the
first premium of $2000. The Committee on Plan and
Architecture were authorized to emrntre the author
to make such changes and modifications in the same
as in inetr opinion may bo desirable, and to have the
plan, when completed, submitted to the Commission
for approval. This aetlc 1 virtually accepts Mr. Me
Arthur's designs, and thus makes ono of our own
citizens the artist to supervise the erection of what
will be the grandest structure in our city. Not a
more deserving architect could have been selected
than the gentleman whom fortune has favored, and
the compliment is the morn valuable as the premium
of merit was honorably won in a fair competition
with nine fellow-artists who already bear proud
names In the profession. Jt is somewhat singular
that, although the Committee on Plan and Architec
ture, or which Thomas N. Walter, Ksq., architect or
Glrard College ami of thu Capitol Kx tension, Is
chairman, reported unanimously In favor or this
awartl, yet a desperate si niggle was made yesterday
to reverse their decision and to ravor a competitor.
Our citizens ask only that the most meritorious shall
be honored, but it seems scir-evldcnt that educated
artists should bo the judges.
(irneml Description.
The style which the architect has deemsd best.
suited to express his th'Slin Is Renaissance. It.a
broken outlines mid the comparative rreedom from
the arbitrary role in its proportions render it. nmi.
llarly adapted to public architecture where so many
rooms of unequal dimensions, and for such varleil
uses, must be arranged and constructed. Every
room required by the printed schedule has been pro-
..1 me imujici oi..r. in mi; general ftrriin(je.
ment of the plan three piim lnal illviwlonu hav i...n
jnatle. The Judiciary on Walnut street: Councils,
with the Departments of (ia;l, Taxes, and Wat-r. on
Chestiut and Sixth sr reefs j the Mayor, City Trea
surer, and Survey Depart mmit on Chesnut aiid Fifth
streets. Cure has been taken to locate the principal
courts so as to rentier them entirely fre from th
noise of the streets, mid nl. the h.i,,o. m nut a ri j tni
readiness or access anil abundance of Unlit and air.
Kvery room In the etillro liiillilincr in w..!i ii.ri.r ..i
ventilated, nntl readily approached from the sur
roiiiitllng street by spacious staircases and continu
ous corridors. The mode of heat ing and veutlluting
intended Is by steam "coils'' in the basement, forc
ing warm fresh air by powerful fans Into each room
in winter, autl coltl In summer, ami at the same time
driving tho vitiated air through ducts to the boiler
shaft situated between the principal courts behind
the amut street front.
Much valuable room, easv of nercNS nml wll
lighted and ventilated, is reserved for future use in
the basement on Sixth street, and also In the third
story or all the buildings.
In the matter of materials for the execution of
this design, the architect suggests some of the sand
stones of our own State us most appropriate and
economical, although any other material preferred
can be used without detracting from tho general de
sign. The absence or full detail drawings prevents
nn accurate estimate of tho cost being made; tint
from the present plans the architect estimates their
execution at 2,3S.'i,tKiO.
1 he specifications or material and mode or con
struction are substantially as described in the circu
lar issued by the Commission to competing architects.
The whole building is to be thoroughly Are-proof
throughout. Foundation and basement walls to
pavement are to be of the best quality building
stone; exterior walls, steps, and cornices of dressed
sandstone, backed with hard bricks. All the interior
walls and architigs are to lie of brick ; Interior col
umns forsupport are of cast iron ; stairs of marble;
floors of rolled iron and brick covered with marble
tiling; roof of iron covered with slate and tin; plate
glass tin an me sireui iroriis, ana nest American OH
the court-yards ami ureas. All locks and other door
and window furniture or best Philadelphia manu
racture; gas piping uncording to city regulations;
plumbing, wherever practicable, or galvanized iron;
heating by tubular steum-boilers; ventilating by two
liiiecn icei tans, oiiveu uy a steam engine; uraintng
through terra-cotta pipes into the public sewers;
dressed granite curbings on all the streets, and
dressed blue flags on all the pavements.
Arcliiteeiiirnl Outline.
The main front or the new Citv Hall will be nnon
Walnut street. The building will consist of a base
ment, two main stories, ami a Manswd roor. The
central entrance en Walnut street, leading to a cen
tral corridor, will be through a stately columniated
archway, which supports like ornamental porches on
me iwo upper stones, terminating on tnc third with
an over-arched pediment containing sculptured
arms of the State, city, etc. From this springs a
nign tower, containing on cacn or its lour faces a
huge ornamental clock face, and divided by semi
dormer windows into tour additional stories. A bal
cony encircles this tower two-thirds up, and another
observatory is furnished by the root. About twenty-
live urcueu windows win be on each story or tuls
front.
on the Firth and Sixth street corners will be three-
storied rotundas, surmounted by well-proportioned
domes. These will bo elevated, anil reached by
iroad stcps.and will contain stulrcases.ns will also the
central corridor. The fronts upon Fifth autl Sixth
streets will correspond closely, the plans having
been so carerully dratted that, although tho Inner
divisions are different, the same architectural eleva
tions are to be used. Midway upon each square will
be an ornamented archway, supported by columns,
with upper balconies, all closely corresponding with
the central entrance npon Walnut street. Upon the
third story, which or Itseir rises rar above the con
nected wings, towers another Mansard rotd, with an
elevated tower. Each story or these fronts has
nearly thirty whitlows.
1 lie t nesnut street rront win ne divided into two
similar buildings by Independence Hall proper. This
veueraoie uuiitimg, saucuiiea rjy oni-iime memories
and associations, will now, as ever, be scrupulously
guarded lrom alterations, antl a vacant space will be
lettat eitner side; untitle ugly wings or later con
struction, now defaced with Kow oillces, will soon
become things of the past, for which everybody will
ne triuy inauKiui. i nese new uuildings will con
sist of two stories with French roors. and will each
be reached by two nights or steps, corresponding
won 1 nose at ine corners 01 vvuinut.
The elevated observatories, from which views mav
bo had or the city, will 00 abundant ror some gene
rations 10 come, as rue peculiar adaptability or the
Kenaissunce stylo allows many graceful breaks Iu
the ground plans autl roofs, antl all of these have
been artistically turned i:ito use ror the accommo
dation or the curious- niadjd who are not to be in-
tiinitliited by the prospect or stair-climbing. The
only apparent ilisuilvnnttige in this arrangement is
mnr, in ine luinre au'i s. wnen these buildings coinn
to be finished, Couneilniei' will be very apt to parcil
the care or these towers out among their precinct
adherents, and we shall have a battalion or janitors
to oe nunieo up uy v inters anxious to get the "Open
Sesame'' or tickets.

New Yokk, Sept. 28 The Committee of the
(iold Room reported at 11 o'clock that they had
seen the olllcers of the Bank of New York, and
that they agreed to make the clearances of-
Friday'8 business on a uniform basis of 135
brokers to settle their own differences. All
tickets arc expected to be at the bank at 1 '30 to
day. No account not equally balanced will be
received. Gold deposited with the bank would
bo strictly accounted for, and the gold of dealers
who had failed could be Bold out under tho
rules. Report was accepted.
It was moved that the Board open for buying
and selling gold. Mr. Kepler opposed the motion.
He said that fifty or sixty millions would bo
thrown on the market to settle the affairs of
Wm. Bclden fe Co., and thus gold would be driven
to par, and business ruined. It was then pro
posed that the Board be opened for loaning and
borrowing only. Adopted. Mr. Kepler moved
that all loans be made flat. It might be a small
loss to individuals, but would be of immense
benefit to the majority, and would relieve the
market. Adopted amid wild cheering.

Money still continues stringent. The Govern

cratic party width was overwhelmingly repudiated
by the people at llio lat Presidential election.
It bus changed none or Its principles ami reformed
none or its pructlces, but is as odious to-day to all
loyal men as it lias been heretofore.
Its Southern wing caused the Rebellion, antl strove
by armed torco to rend iu twain that glorious Union
which wna cemented by the blood ol our fathers;
Its Northern wing gave all the sympathy, aid, autl
comfort to the Rebellion that. It dared, by resolutions
in Its State and riatitmal conventions, and by the
votes of its members in ur State autl national
legislatures apainsr all propositions anil bills oirered
by loyal men teiidimi to strengthen tho arm or the
National Government in its ellorts to crush the Re
hellicu. That party caused the expenditure or four thou
sand millions or dollars or the public money, ami Is
the guilty author or the heavy debt that Is now
pressing down the national Industry.
It is answerable lor the oiood of half a million of
loyal men saciiticed in the etiort to crush out its
wickedness, nntl for the wounds and misery of hun
dreds of thoiiHands more.
it is responsible ror tlie sufferings antl poverty or
the wives mace widows and the children madeor
phtins at. Democratic hands.
In its jSatioiial Convention the northern wing per
mitted the SMiU'ern Rebels to dictate the National
Democratic platform and policy, and has again taken
to Its aims the men whose hands are not yet cleansed
or the blood or Northern patriots.
That party is in favor or rrce trade in commerce as
fully now as when its Ylce-Presldent, Dallas gare
tho casting vote against American industry more
than twenty years ago.
It favors practical repudiation of the national debt,
by paying oil' interest-beating bonds redeemable In
gold with Irredeemable notes, bearing no interest, and
which, from their excess, would oucomo as worth
less as continental paper.
It presents, us its candidate for Govornor, a man
thoroughly Impregnated with all those abominable
heresies, who, though rich beyond the necessities
and wants or any reasonable man, evades, by disin
genuous shitts und ar' luces, the payment of his
taxes, and throws upon the r st or tho people or the
State that share or the burdcus or the State which lie
1b legally bound to bear.
ir lie should be unfortunately elected, he will be
as "clay lu the hands of the potter ' in the hands or
that unscrupulous set or men, too well known to the
Btato and nation as "the eotlee-pnt Democracy,"
who have so persistently endeavored for the last tew
yeurs, by wholesale lraudulent naturalization
papers, and fraudulent election returns, to destroy
the value or the elective franchise.
it presents as its cundidate for the highest Judicial
otllce, a gentleman unknown to the profession, and
whose limited experience reudeis him unable to
grapple with tlie great (uestions that are continually
prchented to our Supreme Court.
Such men, surely, aro not entitled to the support
or loyal ami intelligent freemen.
On the other hand, we ussertt hat the Republican
party is the party of loyalty, or devotion to tho Union
ami to the rights or all men.
It stood by tho Government in the hnurof its great
extremity. Its young men went to the battle-field
and oilered up their lives lu defense or tho Integrity

rejoiced in Rebel victories.
Ita capitalists, when the credit or the Government
was lowest, otl'cred up their wealth to support our
