TUSSLE are such general complaints of
the bare faced frauds revealed in the re

tax, that the Departthent has under con
sideration the propriety of ordering an
entire new re-assessment. We have not
heard how this proposition strikes the tax
dodging millionaire who
, heads the oppo.
sition ticket, but probably he regards it as
a proof of that Radical oppression which
he so fervently hates. - He perhaps thinks
$8,95, contributed .to i the ''unexpended

enough of taxation for his Binned means.
SO MANY rich men have contrived, hke
Mr. PACKER, to avoid the payment of
taxes on their incomes; that the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue is dis
posed to order a complete reassessment.
He ought not to hesitate. A. careful
scrutiny into the returns of this class of
men will show how many of them are
worthy either of public position or of
private confidence. Of course, there are
many upright and otherwise excellent
men among them; but there are also some
of the other sort. Let a sifting be made,

mon Council, and we earnestly hope and
expect that its decision will accord with
that already reached in the other body.
All Investigations heretofore made have
concurred in the conclusion that the Al.
legheny is the true amine of our water
supply, and the abLost unanimous vote
for the CoLstev site in the Select Coun

try—made so by the personal, and social
eminence of the individuals of which it is
composed. but more especially ,by the
vastness and grandeur of the enterprise
in which it is engaged. , How many del-.
egates will be present. cannot be defin
itely determined in advance. The esti
mated !number varies from twelve to
twenty-tis hundred. In the list of those
who will certainly attend are the names
of many individuals widely known, not
only in this country, but in Europe, for
scholarship, for professional . attainments
and capacity in the higher walks of busi

aspect it may be viewed, a notable assem

MS
TIIE Leader, in discussing the edict
recently issued from the Catholic Cathe
dral of this city commanding all adhe.
rents of the Romish Church to withdraw
their children from the public schools,
affirms that
"This is putting the ecclesiastical
screws down pretty strong."
And then naively' adds:
"It does seem to be a violation of equity
that a large class of the comninnity is
compelled to aid in the support. of a school
system, the advantages of which are de
nied to them by their religious convictions
and the rules and discipline of their
church."
Will our neighbor explain, if the "reli
gions convictions" of large numbers of
the Catholic communion cons traine d _ them
to take their children out of the public
schools. why it became necessary to put
down: "the ,'eocledastleal screws pretty
strong" to tnakethein act up to those con
victionst To'our secular understanding,
there seems to be a bad hitch in this logic.
Tag Tarry of the *Metal comrattalett-
lions of our Minister to the Madrid gov
errnment are not yet receivgd at Washing
ton. The Peruvian Minister in this court
try has been notified that his demonstra t
dons of concern for the Cuban insurgents
are indecorous, and must be moderated.
The latest advie473 . from Cuba are not fa•
vorable to the rebel cause. Jealousis
are'distracting their 'atuncils and' pan;
lyzing their action. Several of their.
leaders have been assassinated, and the
American element in their camps has be
come so obnozioutt as to threaten more
serious trouble. Our rebel renegade and
defaulter, Jordan, Ilasbeen degraded from
the superior command, and Cespedes has
personally taken the field, to re-animate
a drooping cause. In the meantime, it is
a strong point made by the Havana press,
that the insurrection lives only by the
aid of American sympathy and support.
That aid is about to disappear altogether.
If the latest report from Cuba be -true,
that Jordan has offered to sell oat to the
Spanish authorities, the final collapse of
the revolt is near at hand. The report is
credible, since we remember how that
notorious individual hks betrayed every
cause which ever yet trusted him.

THE LUNATIC'S (Ho WALL STREET
Beyond the passing inconvenience to
the interests of solid trade, in the inter
ruptions resulting from the generalexcite
ment, we have no , L regrets to indulge and
no sympathies to 1 xpres.s for the victims
of this latest frenzy of cupidity. The
individual operatOrs who have disregard
ed the cautions of experience, the plainest
instructions of common-sense, and, In
most instances, the palpable dictates of
1
commercial hon ty, trust bear the con
s
-
sequences for hemselves. But some
thing is due to 'e higher interests of so
ciety, to prevent, if possible, the recur
rence of a condition of things which has
for three days convulsed the financial
centre of the country.
Considering the Instantaneous effect of
the announcement that only four millions
of Government gold were about be sol
bona fi de, and the cash paid for to
it on de
d
livery, upon the wholly fictitious market
of last week,we perceive that the gamblers,
who were buying and selling, on paper,
in sums of from one to ten millions, sand
to an amount, in the gross, for , a single
day's transaction, of over three hundred
millions of &Afars, were smitten as if
end
a
stroke of lightning. That was the end of
their game! It remained only to survey
the field and to place the victims out of
the - public sight. Not even the tour mil
lions to be offered were sold; an actual
transfer of half that amount has snaked
for the occasion, and the bravado of the
gold-room has been thoroughly squeched.
Here, then, is indicated the practical rem
edy which should preclude the repetition
of the last week's disastrous fienzy.
Time transactions in cold should
be legally construed as engage
ments for immediate delivery._ 1 This
would prick every such bubble as
soon as it gathers shape, and that would
be the end of the unreal speculations
which support the New York gold lroom.
The Secretary of the Treasury has done
simply his duty in the prenfises. Pre
vented by law from selling gold w thout
notice, he gave that notice when it be
came evident that governmental interfer
ence could no longer be delayed. No in.
telligent citizen doubts the propriety of
his conduct in declining to interfere in
the course of private commercial transac
tions, until it was rendered imperative by
public considerations. Whether it would
have been better for the Treasury and for
the country, if he could have thrown large
amounts on the market without jnotice,
- that is not the law. Until Congress
shall otherwise order, this notice must be
given, as it was last week, and this Admin
istration 1%, throughout, in the haof
men who obey the law as they find tt,
and there may be an honest doubt as to
the ,expediency of changing, that law,
when we see that this notice is of itself
potent enough to lay the evill spirit of
speculation, as it at the word. The Sec
retary has wisely and profitably exercised
quite as large* discretion u thellaw may
safely pat within the reach'of any Trees
ury.officiaL We are, not, always certain
of a IRKFTWELL in that place. l
Fortunes - made, and lost, in lan hour,
ruined speculators ernzeti or plunging into

partdized, the financial transactions of an
entire people ttunporarity blocked, a fever
of excitement ending, in a crisis of gen
eral disorder aOd a crash of tie whole
fabric, overwhelming its buildere in a com

story of the last week in the girt city of
New York. The country 'survives the

of peculiar importance, and every

should be polled. For instance,

—Republican Meeting at Germtown
—S, Meeting in Philadelphia on an Mon
day Night.
(Coreespoodemee albs Pittsburgh Gazette.) ,
Primal:W.l,sta, Ps., Sept. 25, 1869.
The activity in political circles, which
usually characterizes the closing days 01
,
the campaign, has fairly commenced.
Both parties are industriously at work,
vigorously pushing their interests. On
the Democratic side tae leaders put on
.
'the appearance of doing little, and in this :
Manner unquestionably hope to deceive
, .
the Aepublicar.s into undue negligence
iit exerting their full efforts. The Demo
crats are doing little speaking, but
documents filled with the usual amount
of misrepresentation and abuse are being
largely circulated. The Democrats are
counting on a Ireduced vote by which
alone they admit they can carry the elec
tions, and they are taking the underhand.
ed method of working secretly to throw
the Republicans'off their guard. This
fact should urge every person interested
in the success of Republican principles
and institutions, the security of the Na
tional credit and the general prosperity
of the State, to' do their best to bring out
the vote of the party on the twelith of
October.
The discord in the Democratic ranks in
this city, instead of being removed by the
reconstruction of their ticket, is still lull of
rancor, and the dissatisfaction in a large
class almost amounts to open rebellion.
The Democrats have calculated largely
upon carrying this city_ without any , very
tangible reasons for such a very neceMary
result as far as their prospects are Con
cerned. , They have been making a'
great effort to disturb the political
equilibrium of tho working classes
and the Government employes, but so
far it has been uphill work. There is no
doubt of the carrying of the city on the
Republican ticket by from two to four
thousand majority. It is very doubtful
whether the Democrats will be able to
bring out a full vote, on account of the
recent disturbance in their camp, and the
leaders themselves show evident signs of
fear and trembling. Their greatest hopes
are based upon a majority here.
In the country districts, except proba
bly the Lehigh region, the vote, accord
ing to accounts. will not vary materially
from that of 1868, or if it does, the favor
seems to be on the side of the Republi-,
cans. In the Lehigh valley there is being
made an extraordinary effort, for the rea
enn of its being Packer's own vicinity.
Here the Democrats expect a decided in
crease. The campaign has not sufficient
ly advanced to furnish any just grounds
of determining with what result. Up to the
present time, however, the work does not
seem to go on with any decided assurance
of realizing their great expectations. The
large interests of Packer in this region
will be forced to their full extent in
exerting the necessary influence.
To suppose that Packer carries
that beautiful valley of the Lehigh in
his breetches-pocket, as some people are
dupes enough to believe, is a gross mis
representation of its people.
The State Republican Committee here
are actively engaged in bringing speakers
from all parts of the country and are send
ing them out into the State, reserving
also a good share to enlighten the waver
ing of the city of "Brotherly Love."
Last night a very largeand enthusiastic
Republican meeting was held in the town
hall at Germantown. The place was
handsomely decorated and illuminated.
The meeting being - called to order by W.
F. Smith, Thomas W. Walker was chosen
President. Atter the announcement of
the Vice Presidents and Secretaries, Mr.
A. Wilson Henzey was introduced.
The speaker set out with a lively venti
lation of the Democratic tricks and the
various disguises used to deceive the peo
ple. He spoke of the Republican party
being the party pledged to the security of
the national.debt. That the Democratic
party had but one remedy, and that was
repudiation. He spoke of the calamities
that would inevitably ensue from this
Democratic doctrine. The industries of
the country would be ruined and the pub
lic honor abroad would be disgraced in
the eyes of the struggling muses
of Europe, who look to this
country as their only hope of
elevation in the human scale and in
the enjoyment of liberty for theii
selves and comfort -for their families.
Be showed that the poor man would suf.
fer more than the rich by such an infa
mous act as repudiation. He spoke of
the war and its fearful sacrifices, brought
on by the very party which today seeks
power out of the malicious spirit of Dryer.
turning what has already been accom
plished in bringing the country , to its
present attitude, *kith demands respect

Daniel Martins, theouch Chunk, was
next presented to audience. The :
speaker said he came from the home of
Judge Packer. That much had been said
lictires
of that gentleman's popularity in the
Lehigh valley, bu he had failed to dis
cover upou what rounds..
He spoke of

ceding days.„ In the
_Gold Room it was
reported that fifteen small firms are
known to have failed.
The Tribune says that the corner in
, gold was manipulated by Wm. S. Wood
ward, Jay Gould, Jas. Fisk, Jr. Marvin
Bros. & Co., Smith; Gould, Martin &
and other prominent operators. Smith,
Gould & Martin have suffered very heav
ily, and are reported to have failed, but
their names were officiall deed
in the Gold Room. not
Jay Gould y
and cl J ar as.
Fisk have probably lost largely from
having bought heavily when gold was
about 50, and had not sold out before the
price tumbled. About 80 Minns are re
ported, but it is impossible to ascertain
what houses have actually fallen.
Said a very young but very heavy opera
tor, "I made $lOO,OOO in a jiffy, bat I
would like to take ten per cent. of it for
my chance of the whole. I don't suppose
I will turn out to be all broke." "My
profits were over $75,000," said 'another,
as he regaled himsel with oysters after
the turmoil; "but I have been excited
with fears about it the last half hour, and
have just found out that my fears are
quite certain to be justified."
Again came the Washington rumor,
and this time, it was said, direct from the
special Treasury agent in this city. It
was asserted that Grant had ordered
Boutwell to sell the gold, and that he
would order him to sell five millions, if
necessary., Away went the market in
another rush, and never recovered until
it touched. 133. In the street it went
lower. The bulls were ruined men; men
were maddened; Speyer grew erazy;lis
eyes seemed fixed in despair; he spoke to
his friends in a husky voice, and Dished
about the little fountain as if in ter.
ror; at length he raised his hand
and shouted hoarsely to the heated,
struggling mass below him. This extra
ordinary spectacle nearly silenced the ope
rators. In a tew words Speyer accused
some unknown person of an attempt to
assassinate him. 'He is after me now with
a big knife 1" shrieked Mr. Speyer.
"Look 1 look 1" he continued: "Don't
you see the knife 1" As it was evident
he was crazed he was placed in a carriage
by his friends and sent home. Mr. Speyer
was not the only one made momentarily
crazy; one of the members of the Board
informed the Bun reporter that under the
undue excitement he felt his mind giving
way, and took a Madison avenue stage np
Broadway, as far as Canal street, to re
cover his balance.
Mr. Speyer announced his failure him
self, _ and stated that lthe gold he had
bought to-day was on verbal orders from
J. Fisk, Jr., from whom he had neg
lected to obtain anyl margins, and he
could not take his purchases. At this he
was compelled to make a hasty retreat
from the Board. The crowd soon after
made a rush upon the office of Smith,
Gould, Morton & Co. and only the active
efforts of the police prevented its being
gutted. They teized Fisk and threat
ened to hang him, but he was rescued
with no more damage than a black eye.
The crowd continued in the street until a
late hour, and the presence of a large
police was necessary to preserve order.
It is believed that the suspension of the
Fisk and Gould party are mere ruses to
gain time, and that nearly all the falter
ing firms will be prepared to meet their
liabilities. This is merely a rumor, and
is not credited. If Smith, Gould &Mar.
Mar
tin, Fisk Sr. Belden, and others of the
bull concerns, settled their accounts ac
cording to their face', the other side will
escape losses which they have had reason
to fear.
When the news of the bursting of the
gold bubble came up stairs to the Regular
Board there was a momentary lull. Then
a certain well known leader in the old
North Western party sung out, "Now
is the time to go in for Central." The
Vanderbilt shares I received an impetus
from that moment, and they rose steadily.
The rumor spread l that the Commodore
had come to the rescue d and his stocks
were firmly advancing . the street and
offices a better feeling was noticed at
once, and though the gold bubble burst
with force, it seemed a relief to the bur
dened ones. And they were not slow to
take advantage of the change; Men. who
had been lately bearing the stock market
and bulling" the 'gold, at once changed
about and began-to bear on the gold and
bull on the stocks. A. comple revolution
took place within twenty minutes.
If the main movers in the affair, Messrs.
Fisk and Gould, come forward and meet
their engagements, and thus aid others,
everything will move harmoniously in
the street to-day. The commission bro
kers of the street are openly delighted at
the panic, for they say the thunder and
lightning of the past few days will clear
the sky, and drive from the street the ir
responsible harpieswlao have formed
"corners" and preyed upon the public
generally. The moral - presented by the
sickening spectaelels that , it may take,
merchants and other business men from
the street,' and they will learn that even
sharp players can be beat at a game where
loaded dice are used. There was no•rea
son for the gout and tumult of the last
few days. The whole story' in a nutshell
is: A combination of powerful men
boldly struck out for an object which
they nearly attained, and everything that
stood in the way. was; compelled to go
before them. Business was made
to etaud still, the poor to suffer, the ner
vous to experience alarms, while "bulls"
and "bears held high carnival.

Hon. Charles H. Stinson we extend our
thanks for his conduct as State Senator
from this district, believing that he has

Wurtat Governor Geary was refusing to

border-ruffians in Kansas, and was nobly
standing up there for freedom, Ms.'Packer

slavery interests.
The "Old Fogies" of Councils.
MESSRS. EDITORS : The Commeraaf
is never happy save when it is abusive;
is never satisfied unless it is inconsistent.
In Friday's issue I noticed a violent at
tack on certain members of the city
councils who refused to vote money out
of the city treasury to wine and dine the
several hundred California pioneers who
came this way on a pleasure excursion.
The editor chose to style all such who
put themselves on record against the
needless expenditure of several thousand
dollars as "old fogies," lacking public
spirit, and intimates that better ma
terial should till their places 1 What
consistency for the journal of retrench
ment and reform to exhibit ! Guillotine
those men who refuse to make contribu
tion out of the city treasury for a grand
"municipal drunk," as , such _occasions
are sometimes termed. I think nine
men out of every ten will stand by
the so called "old fogies" in all
their votes which have in view
public ecmomy in the administration
of the city affairs. I admit that it was
unfortunate that the subject of extending
the hospitality of the city to the
"Pioneers" should have been brought
into Council and then killed; but
it is much better that the • city
should occupy the embarrassing po
sition entailed than that our debt
should "be materially increased to
no good purpose. I think I reflect the
opinions of nine-tenths of the tax-payers
of the city in saying that the "old fo
gies" are not to be derided or decapi
tated because,' forsooth, they refused to
cast a vote for a needless and unprofita
ble expenditure of the moneys-for which
they as custodians are responsible to
their constituents. Let us have a little
more "old fogyism," if men with eco
nomical ideas can be classed in the cat
egory. • JUDGE.
