The Anti- tecompton Democrats.
The Paterson Guardian says: “So far, wo
believe, not one Democratic opponent of the
Lecompton Constitution' in Congress ha 3 -been
defeated at the polls; and, without being over
sanguine, we think. Adman, Haskis, and
Olaiixs, will be ro-elected by handsome ma
jorities.” The Americans of the district now
represented by fho latter, originally nomina
ted Ebastos Bnoosrs, of the Express, but os
hd has magnanimously declined, and the
Americans then resolved to support Mr.
Olahke, there seems to he no doubt of his re
election by a large majority-
“Murder will out” is the ancient'saw, and
it is as trno-that the truth often alipß out when
least intended. The Dnion, of yesterday, In
speaking editorially of the resolutions passed at
Tammany, useß these words:
“ They give the' most unequivocal and cordial
©ttdoMGQNsntto tli® President fi-od blB Onblnet, tbeir
policy and their measures; and they are expressed
in language which betokens more the tipser
vioe.” .
Have tho elections in Indiana, lowa, Omo,
and Pennsylvania, bewildered “the organ?”
If, as a result of the elections in those States, it
maintains, after its bitter and vindictive as
saults upon Douglas, a grave-like silence on
Illinois politics, and In iW bewilderment ac
cuses the Tammany Democracy of lip-service,
what must be Its deplorable condition when
the returns come in next Tuesday from Michi
gan, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Illinois, and Delaware?
The beautiful poem on tbe first page, by
tbo.author of the “ Two Fountains,” is ono of
the finest efforts of his muse.
T. Starr King at Musical Fund Hall
A numerous' audienoo was attracted to Musical
Fund Hall last evening, to heat a leoturo by tho
RevTT. Btatr King, on » The Laws of Disorder.”
Before commencing tbs lecture, a lurid and into
‘resting statement was made, by Mr. Edward R
Hawkins, preiident of tho “ Literary CongteM,”
under whose auspices tbe ieoturo wss delivered.
Mr. King appeared at lbs desk greeted with ap
plause! ....
In opening, he e aid he had chosen for his sub
ject “ the Laws of Disorder," net from any love of
paradox, hut rather to consider the real harmony
of What was apparent oonfusion.'
We had no true oonoeptton of the universe until
ye saw that ail in it waa changing Whatever in
nature we ohose to look upon, wo found Interlaced
«ith a continuous succession of mutations. Taking
'or example, the solar system,- which seemed to
So the most punotnal thing in the universe, and
?ot it wos true that every .orb,within it varied Its
path every year. Could wo stand just outside the
rook of these orbs, we should be presented with a
-eene wbiob tbo toughest mathematician could not
unravel.
. The thought hero Iptrodnood was, that the most
seemingly confused and irregular processes of ns
uro were governed by a law so perfect, that with
ail;lts apparent confusion, soienoe had learned,
in'many oases, to. predict their futuio results.
. Nothing in. nature was exaotly in aooordanee
vith our notions of- perfect order. Tbe earth was
thicker at tbe equator tbap at the poICB. Tbe
magnetio needle did not point exactly toward the
north pole, but a little, to one side of it. 8o too,
-he most excessive boat, though criminating in
the torrid lone, was net reached precisely at the
equator,' but a little to ope side of it. • '
Tbo doctrine., of, obasoe-Hif Atheism against
nrobsbility—wbb thus illustrated. - Though all
nature should seem to be full of disorder,
yet tho results ;of that disorder presented
\ harmony altogether beyond the probabi
lities of ohaneo. As well, eaid ho, might we
imagine a basket of letters raised into tbe air and
emptied out to'desoend like snow-flakes and ar
ranging .themselves into Die tragedy of M&obeth
iM to expect that all tbe arrangements of nature
iround us produced tbe results we see by tbe mere
neoidentof ohance.
Speaking of the regularity atlaohtd to the num
ber of the sexes, and traolng the relative numeri
cal preponderance of one over the other, at differ
ent ages, there was, said he, a graceful and or
derly fringe of irregularity, Burroundmg a most
porfecfc system.
The great variety of human faces was next taken
<ip. as exemplifying the law of this seeming dis
order./ None could imagine an artist with powers
to delineate a hundred faces; nil entirely different
in tbeir expression, In a single day; and yet, of
til tho nine hundred millions of people os the
•jarth, there were no two so exactly physically
illke 88 to defy detection of assimilarity. This,
iteolf, he thought, afforded a wonderful proof of
inter amid seeming confusion. The laws of growth
vere different in the two sexes, but exactly the
4&me at different ages in eaoh-
Drawing on tbo humorous, in which, at inter
rate, he eeeme at home, be said that the
number who draw prises at a lottery, he be
lieved, was about the same os the number of
those struck by lightning, and aivissd that any
mo bent upon the first could engage in it with
most certainty by putting up his cash as a oon
luotor, and the probability was that the prize and
tho thunderbolt would come at about tho same
time! (Laughter.J . .
This was Introduced In connection with certain
statistics, showing tho comparative regularity
of casualties, one year with another Looking
norc deeply into society, wo should see still more
ȟbtle laws of-confusion. There wore oortain
men who seemed to come commissioned to discover
cew truths, and others again to organize it, and
make it practical. So in the different tempers
ments, supplying in their variety the right mao
fortbe right place.
If that element which produces onr land re
form*, women’s rights agitations, anti-slavery men,
temporanco lecturers, and that olaes of minds,
ihoald be taken from society, it would result dis
astrously to the progress of civilization. His re
ference to tho seeming oonfasiou which invariably
brought to the.surface of sooicty new men for new
fiftlHogs, as they were needed, indicated in ibe
’ecturor & more than ordinary amount of research,
ind adaptability to his theme.
If for a single half oentury there should be a
lead level of capacity, hour should all sooiety suf
hr 1 As much wero tho different organizations
around as necessary for the perfection of the whole
is were the different organs of the body necessary
to sustain life.
. Tho gro&l responsibility Imposed upon na was to
oroporly place the powers with which we are en
dowed; " •
( If'men'with oapaotty to ride two horses and
turn . twelve somorsete without winking, would
only learn to display their powors in a oirous, and
not In Congress, it would be well enough. ]Lnugh*
tor.]
. They who most sorved the oaußo of humanity
best au&wQred tho onds of their creation.
■ What, ho would ask, bad all tho Presidents,
from Washington down, done to compare Inin
tri&slo value to the race with the discovery of the
mYgnetta telegraph, the cotton gin, or the steam
engine? Nature’s part of the work was perfoot.
We might not for a oentury get for the Secretary
of State the best man in the nation, but there was
no such fatuity in the hierarchy of science. All
this showed us that the progress of the race was
oared for by a mind of which the brightest earthly
genius is but a transient gleam.
TbetldeBand the wnveß wore introduced as a
capital illustration of bis theme. A looker-on,
standing by the seaside, watohleg the waves tum
bling in one after another with the mest apparent
confusion—some being large and heavy, rolling In
far and high, while others were less marked and
more rapid fn their suocesaion—could see nothing
but disorder ; yet, with all this manifest confusion
the return of the tides every six hours, from year
to year, with,all the precision of clock-work,
showed that amid this seeming chaos orderswayed
supreme. ?. -' y
It was the crowning quality of the hnman mind
that it qould doteotliiwS in what seemcd.te us the
disorder of the world. The last ,wordB whioh tho
laws of disorder pointed to Stax* , national cha
racter. > *
- It was these representative forms of great.
ness dotting the ages of _ the past that inte
rest us most. .As we turned our eyes from one
great national monument to another, among the
nations of the past, we oould not but wonder what
would be tho gui3e of our own incarnate genius
in the eyes of future ages. .Might we not imagine
that her statue would stand the Immutable me-
HlsYonoludlng'sentehaes/ with referenoe to otir

Letter from “ Occasional.”
[Correspondence of The Press.}
Washington, Oot. 27,1858.
’A number'of parties interested io newspapers
at® now \n Wasbington, for tb® pntpoao of obtain
ing funds to continue tbeiT ontwprises. Chief i
among (hose are Senator Biglor and Col. Fiorenoe.
The former is pretty well understood as a sort of
broker in newspapers. It is believed that a r<Satl
.sidorablo sum is paid over to him out of the post'
office printing, from wbiob funds he reltiibtfticff
himself for certain advances to a journal in your
State, which has been in support of tbe
Kansas polioy of tho Administration. Whether
be has made any money by the transaction I
cannot say, but it is certain that the funds have
been paid over to him to • keep this and other
journals in operation, and that he has indemnified
himself forany personal expenditures on tho same
aooonnfc. "*Colonel Ploronoo receives from tb© same
source, for his newspaper, from §4OO to $5OO a
month. ' ’
A good deal of panic has been created by the
rumor that tbe fand from wbiob theso subsidies aro
drawn is to be stopped by an investigating commit,
too of Congress. There Booms to be good grounds
for this rumor when you reoolloot that tens of
thousfrfide of dollars aro lavished upon newspapers
of no sort of use to anybody exoopfc to defend Im*
eompton, and that those tens of thousands are no
toriously a part of tho money paid by the treasury
to Mr. Wendell, who is a partner in tbo printing
of the post office blanks, and who pays over to the
parties alluded to thoir respective shares— they do
ing ito printing whatever.
The amount of money expended on Jjccowpton
newspapers, out of tho treasury, if stated accu
rately to the people, would hardly be believed. I
would not be surprised if it would build magnifi.
cent post for Philadelphia, New York, and
Boston This fact alone goes to show what a des
perate cause it is which requires snob expedients.
The very newspapers sustained" by these bounties
are deserted by the people, and they are now rap
idly sinking into decline. ’
It is stated that Sigler does not make any heal*
tation in denouncing tho appointment of Ctanoy
Jones as a most unfortunate step on the part of
the Administration. lie has been pretty public
in his censures to everybody, exoept to tbo Pre
sident.
Hon. James Oraig, of Missouri, sends word hero,
through his friends, that during his tour in Penn
sylvania, and through tho Northern States, ho
discovered a unanimous feeling against tho pro
soriptlve polioy of tho Administration, and that
If it Is not abandoned the whole of the Bamoaraoy
of tho Northwest and South will bo found under
tho flag of Douglas.
Tho appointment of Qlanoy Jones will render a
revision of the diplomats list inevitable. The
States, and other paper? in the South, are com
plaining that Pennsylvania has bed an undue
share of this mHoh-sought-for position. Mr. J.
Randolph Olay, the Amerioan Minister to Peru,
has always been a personal friend to Mr. Bucba
naa, and b&yipg been in the service of the oountry
for years, It Is more than provable t)iat he will bo
oalled upon to give wav to tho outside preseqro.
And you need not be surprised if Mr. Dallas's
“ request" (so*oa11od) to return to Philadelphia
should be acceded to.
But in cutting down the Pennsylvania portion
of tbe consular and diplomatic Hat, it is well to
recollect that Mr. Speacer, the new oonsul at Paris,
appointed by Mr. Buchanan some time ago and
obarged to New York, is in reality a Pennsylvanian,
and has no more claims to that appointment under
the present Administration than under the British
or Derby Ministry. * Occasional,.

New York, Oct 27,1868.
The town l« furnished with a seaatMo# tepio for oou*
rerwitJtm Jn tbe Jodictment of /ome fifteen ex-efiioeri fit
the corporation—these who field pieces where there
was a liberal margin for “ appropriating *» such little
drippings as are ocnst&ntly foiling from tbe municipal
table. But scandalous as Is the spectacle thus present
ed, ere the week oxplrea it will be forgotten. People
are so Intent upon their own personal n&etnes, eo ab
sorbed In the purauft of money, or fame, or pleasure,
that they have no time to throw away upnrf public
.sconodrellsm, no matter how outrageous it may be.
Even an ordinary murder Is talked about only for a day.
That any of these city officials will be convicted is
scarcely looked for. l>av In New York seems to be ad
ministered cn the plan of ‘ f how net to do It .ll
, To-morrow evening will -witness the great poliHcil
demoogtratlon bf the present campaign The people of
tbe Eighth Congressional district, Srmpeotlye of
are to meet at the Cooper Institute, to giro an
expression In favor-of the ca-etecHon of Horace F,
Qltrk to Congress The meeting will be addressed by
> Democrats, Republicans, and Kuow-Nothlrgs—by the
editor of The Press, by Buateed, Ewarts, MeKeown,
David Dudley Field, James Brooks, and Wm. Curtis
Noyes. The re-election of Mr. Clark seems to be con
ceded on all hand?. Tbe opposition to him Is feeble
and weak-voiced. His will go up among the
thousands.'
In the Third district, the fight between Blokles ant
Wfllbridge is, oharmlog. The French are said to be
almost uoanlmona for the former. Last evening’s Ccvr.
tier cf'S Stats Snis takes strong ground in his faror.
His personal and domestic associations with the Italians
bare brought them to bis support. Notwithstanding
the ferocity and noisiness of the opposition,! incline
*o the belief that be will tie re-elected by a derisive
majority. ..
The movement fn behalf of laboring women goes
fiTorabty onward. The meeting at Dr. Chapin’B church
’ast evening wan crowded and earnest. Three thousand
dollars were collected on the spot In aid of tho organi
zation. Addresses were made by Ward Beecher ar.d
James T. Brady, and tbo thing was fairly launched
'orth to the publlo. Mr. B. In the course of his speech
remarked that Talleyrand, when told that women mast
lire somehow, replied that he did not see the necessity.
CM greatest boast of our country—ihe truth, too, of
wh’ch Intelligent foreigners admit—is that we are tape
el-l>y courteous and kind to woman. And yet it was
not entirely just; hot but that we have a delicate con
sideration and deep devotion for her, but such conduct
was often dictated by motives of mere selfishness. This,
perhaps, was chivalry. Bat what Is true chivalry? Is
it not still to show our kindners towards her in her

Mr# Breckinridge's Letter in Favor i>f
Dougins,
VEBSAintKfl, Kr., Oct 4.1853.'
Dear Sin : I received, this morning, your let
ter of the 28th and 2pth ult, written as chairman
of the Democrat!* State Committee ot Illinois, also
one from Mr. V llickox, who informs mo that he
is a member of the same committee. My Absence
from homo will acoouut for tho delay of this
answer
In theso leltors it is said that I am reported to
havo oxpresaod a desiro that Mr. Douglas shall de
feat Mr. I.moolu, in their contest for u seat in tho
Senate of the United States, and a willingness to
visit Illinois, and make public spceohes in aid'of
suoh result; and if these reports are true, I Am
invited to deliver addresses at certain point6in
the State.
The rumor of my readiness to visit Illinois, and
address the people in tho present canvass, is with
out foundation. I did not proposo to leave Kon
tuoky for the purpose of mingling in the political
diflouEfrionB of other States. Tho two or thfeo
apeeahea whioh I delivered recently in this Stale,
rested on peculiar grounds, whioh I need not n6w
discuss.
The other rumor to which you refor is true.' I
have often, in conversation, expressed the wish
that Mr Douglas may suocoed over his Republi
can oompotitor. But it is due to oaodor to say
that this preference is not founded on his oourse at
tho late session of Congress, and would not
If I supposed it would bo otmalrued as an endorse
ment of the attitude whioh he then chose to as
sume towards hia party, or of all tho positions he
has taken in the present oanvaes. It is not neces
sary to enlarge on these things. I will only add,
that my preference rests mainly on tbeßo consider
ations: that the Kansas question is practically
ondod—that Mr. Douglas, in reoent speeches, has
explicitly declared his adherence to the regular
Domoora'io party organization—that he seems to
bo tho candidate of the Illinois Democracy, and
the most formidable opponent in that St ite of the
Republican party, and that on more than eno oc
casion during his public life he has dofended the
Union of the States and the rights of the States
with fidelity, courage, and great ability.
I have not desired to say anything upon this
ot any other subjoatabout which a difierenoe mov
bo supposed to exist is the political family, but I
did net feel at liberty to decline an answer to the
oourteons letter of yonrooromlUes.
With oordi&l wishes for the harmony of tho Il
linois Democracy, And the hope that your great
State, whioh baa never yet given a feeotlonal v<)te,
may continue true to our Constitutional Untoo; -

■ ' The Thiitieth Street Tragedy t' -
[From the New York Bxpreea of lost eveniug} J
A difficulty had occurred between the father
and son a few days since, in consequeooe of some
not of the latter, which oalled forth a reprimand.
The son, Frank Gonldy, a young man about twenty
years old, oame home on Tuesday evening about
ten o clock, and retired tb hia room apparently in
good humor.*
Rumor says that he wanted money from hia
father, which waa refused, whereupon he managed
to obtain the bank-book, and took U to his room.
During his absence, the father got the book and
P 0e^ t Jn * !s proper location. Having missed it
when ho came to his room, it la supposed that
Frank beoamo infuriated, and, having armed
himself with a hatohet, oame down to the room
where the family had assembled and about to re
. tiro; Indeed, the mother had retired, and tho
father was putting out tho gas in the hall.
! Frank then struck the father two blows on the
, head with the batobet, by which the brain was pe
. netrated. Tbe old man fell instantly, and the boy
oalled for hU mother, and when she arrived bo
1 struok her also on the head three times, apparent
• Iy, as there are three serious wounds on the head,
1 one of whioh penetrated tbe brain.
( Tho Doieo aroused a younger brother, aged four*
» teen, who came in with nothing on but his Bhirt
[ and pantaloons, and waa immediately struok in,
tho same manner, the blow penetrating the skull
• and exposing tbe brain. A still younger boy, aged
• six. also received & blow on tbe top of his hood
1 whioh penetrated tho brain.
i The fact was lhat ho struok every person who
f came near him, and all on the head, including tbe
two servant girls. A sister escaped the frantio
man by looking hersolf and two iaf&nt children in
hor room. Having finished his diabolical work,
he returned to hia own room and shot himself
through the head, tho ball entering the right
temple.
| The cries of murder alarmed some of the neigh
bors, who broke in the front door, and found tho
t lights all extinguished, the servant girls eoream
ing and sorlously wounded, and the father lying
i on the floor almost dead. The mother was laid
upon tbe bed, and appeared to be in a precarious
i condition.
Drs. Harmon, Van Buren, Lewell, Austin and
Oampbell. were immediately ou the spot, and
dressed the wounds of the several vlotims. They
are all alive, oxaept the son and the servant girl
alfhded to above, but they nre in a most precarious
condition.
Coroner Hills will hold an inquostupon the body
of-tbe unfortunate parricido and suicide at two
o’clock.

{From the Evening Post J
Officers Hall and Moorehouso wore patrolling at
tbe cornerof Ninth avenue and Thirty fimfc streot,
when thoy heard cries proceeding from tbe bouse.
It was about half-p&Bt ten o’olook. They h&stenod
thither, but before they arrived all had beoome
still. _ The door had bern fastened for the night,
mid some delay occurred beforo it osutd be forced.
When they entered, the tragedy had been com
pleted. Only two sisters of the murderer had
eroapod injury. They had remained in thoir room,
and thus avoided falling under his notioo.
Whon young Gould came homo, tho family had
retired, except the father, who let him in, reprov
ing him for his irregularity, and then fastened the
door for the night. Francis went .up stairs,
donned a dressing gown, and, after a little while,
procured a hatchet, oame down and attacked his
father, splitting ijis skull with one Ijlow. jfo nopt
turnod upqn his mother, mutilating her horribly,
and then, with indiscriminate fury, attacked all
who came in his way. Hia oldest brother received
-a blow on the skull, whioh will unquestionably
prove fatal. A younger brother and two servant
girls also wore terribly wounded. He then re
turned to his own room, and ooDßummated the
tragedy by taking bis otm life.
The older Qquldy had been q lumber merchant,
but had retired from business some years sinoe
with a competence. His family had been well
brought up, he bad displayed great solicitude
In the career of his son. Francis had been placed

Twentieth preoluot, states tH«t he was well ac

in a real estate office, in the lower part of
tbo town, some years ago, just before he
had decided to ohoose mercantile pursuits- The
young man had not acquired bad habits at
the time, and is said to have been free
from the use of intoxioating drinks. It appears,
however* that for some time past he had been
accustomed to stay from late atuight, whioh
had been souyoe of much apprehension In his
family. His father had repeatedly remonstrated,
and ohidefd hint, assuring him that ho would de
stroy his ebaraoter and min his future prospeots
by such irregularities. Thero being 'no amend
ment of his conduct, the father assured him that it
could not be tolefatod; thfit he mast become
steady and regular. ' ■

*he,»loth onnirerssry meeting of tho friends of fho
Union School and Children’s Homo took place »t tht
Musical Food Hail. There was a large attendance of
the friends of the Home and its cause. The Rev Mr
Conrad read the ninety-ninth anrual report, alter
baring made a few brief remarks upon the nature and
design of tbe charity. The report sets forth that nine
hundred and fifty-six children, from tbe ages of four
weeks to thirteen years, have been occupants of this
home s'ni e Its orgar.irition. There are now one hun
d *ed and nineteen children under instruction, who have
iweu sent here by parents either through necessity or
choice. During the year ending September Ist, 1863,
127 children have been received into the Home,
and 77 plac< d with families j 84 returned, to pa
rmts or friends; one sent to the House of Refuge;
three absconded, and one removed by death. Tbe
health of tbe inmates has been remarkably good, the
hooping-cough having been the only disease to contend
with daring the year The large number of children
here mentioned as having been returned to their pa
rents or friends is owing to the heavy financial crisis of
** s ., J rfl * r depriving so many persons of work. These
children were received temporarily, to meet the neceß
si ties of the times. This was deemed the best raeansof
aiding many respectable workmen who were suffering
fr m tho heavy pressure or want. With respect to the
finance-, the report states that, had it not been for the
amount received from the proceeds ot the coble Lee*
tare on Obanty v delivered by the Hon. Edward Everett,
and the gift of the Sons of Malta, the managers or the
Children’s Home could not have met tho current ex

The Alltbone and Ntithatl Cast —Mr. M. Russell
Thayer argued to the court the demurrer filed by him
as counsel for Mesam. AlUbone and Newhall. The first
point argued by.Mr Thayer was that the act of tssem
bly, patted m the year 1350, says that “ the office™ of
any such bank ** or may be puuished for embcrsle
meats, and that this law does npt apply to the Bank of
Pennsylvania* as it waa not I’ocorpctated by this act of
Aasemblj, This baofctrts originallycharterel lathe
year 1793, for twenty years, and rechartered In 1813 for
twenty more joirs, aud rgain recharte'ed in 1830 for
twenty-five years, which will bring its charter up to the
year T BsB s And therefore the act of Assembly passed in

ment/ravrfuitfnify, whl'h it should.

Dlstrlot Attorney Longhead, who has this oase
under his especial charge, answored tbe arguments of
Mr. Thayer, who replied to Mr. Loughead, and Judge
Thompson reserved his opinion. Tbe demurrer filed
in this case is in tho following words: The Common
wealth or Pennsylvania vs Thomas AUibore and Thos
A. Newhali. And now, October 2Tth, 1868, the said
Thomas A. Newhall ooraeth here Into court, and the
said Indictment having been read to him, with that
the Bd, 4th, and 6th counts In the said indictment con
tained, and the mattera and things therein contained,
In irknnor and form, as the same ardthereio set forth,
are not sufficient in law to put him, the said T. A. New

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The Money Market.
PHILADBLPBIA, Oot. 27, JB5B.
The ficxie of the expacted-to-be-great sale of
ennsylraaj* Bank building hag formed the staple o
conversation in moneyed circle a to-day, and indeed,
mong all olapsea of the community. The assignees
a»v^ e^ r *^ T re^art^ *s having been put into ft rathe,,
Ti»rsnn by the action of the creditors, arfl
nJ ° na at ® * x P«ssed as to the propriety of
thmvm-JT 80 In y* e lding to such dictation, after so
Overusing a peremptory sale The weP
who km enj3 toatfon of character of the MBignees,
r B «/r” D,oflh r' to seated Irom
J” P UT P°*°i n>«k« their decUion the more remark.
th,t ,I ‘* not to sell for ler,
than tvohnndred thousanddoHareMmeonSlond.,,end
that the reaaon why it rrae not made puhllo InTneada.’a
papera that a bid for a leaa «nm would not be reoei.ed
was, that the assignees, np to the latest hours, were
endeavoring to Induce th* creditor* to withdraw their
notice. This was not only signed by the Attorney
General of the Commonwealth, which is a claimant for
some seventy thousand dollars, and assume] to be a
preferred creditor, hat also by the officers of several of
; the cityb&nhs, including, we believe, the Philadelphia,
Farmers’ and Mechanics’, North America, Northern
Liberties, Commercial, Western, Penn Township, City,
Commerce, Mechanic!’, and perhaps others. Tbe only
individual signature to It was that of Charles Blaoiles
tor, Brq., as agent for George Peabody Sc (Jo. Tbe an
nouncement made by tho auctioneer, in consequence of
this notice, was &s follows:
. u At tbe requestol tbe Commonwealth of Pennaylva>
nia, a creditor of the Bank of Pennsylvania, mode by the
Attorney General, and of oth«r creditors, notice Ir
hereby giv«n, that no bid for the premises now offered
for sal* will be accepted, and none need be tendered,
unlera the same b© for at least the sam of two hundred
tboDsand dollars.’ 1
Perhaps this document is one of the most carious
papers in the whole budget of curiosities In the history
of the Pennsylvania Bank failure. What good wo*
hoped to bo effected by it, no one can conceive. Tbe
universal expectation In the room was that the building
would have sold for largely more than the price thus
put upon the bank, and the sporting fraternity hod
wagers pending npon its eelllDg for a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars. A large number of parties were la at.
tendance realy to bid upon It, but the announcement of
a limit at $200,000 bad tbe Immediate effect to impieu
the idea upon their minds that tbe building oould be
bought for that mm, and no assurances of the assignees
to the oontrai7 served to dfwbuso them of the opinion.
Henoe aobody would start tbe building at a bid of that
amount, to run It higher, and the whole sale woalurned
Into a farce.
In Scotland, it Is a customary practice, which
body there understands, to affix what is called an
price to realestate at public sales, at which the bidding
commences. Zt Is there p-rfeetlj well understood that
the op-set price fa not to be taken as a guide to the
amount of aooey at which the property can be bought
at private sale, and tbe only practical effect is to save
the time of the auctioneer, and keep him from dwelling
on Qgelensly low bids by parties not really desiring to
purchase. Bat for what reason the sapient gentlemen
who rule In Philadelphia hank parlors took occasion to
help introduce this custom Into America, at the time of
ft sale so Important aa that last night, it would probably
puazle even themse’vea to tell.
It killed the asle, and will In all likelihood prevent
the assignees from realising aa mueb money as they
otherwise would hare received for the property.
Acting upon the opinion that $300,000 would buy the
building, several patties, to-day, have, as we are in
formed, offered that sum to the assignees, who, as they
ptomlsed at the sale last sight, have peremptorily re
fused It. If Ur. Thomas bad been left to make the sale
last night, we hare no doubt that th* property would
bare been finally disposed of for at least a quarter of a
million of dollars. So ends one more act In this event
fol drama.
The Union Bank, of this city, Incorporated by the Le*
gUlatnre of 1867, has to-day obtained .letters patent

early next week. The bank will then go immediately
