Till: FIX A 3 1.4 3.. CAUSII.
For a week back the financial world has
Wen at wits end, because of the failure of
mailt of the heaviest financial houses in Wall
ftreet, New York, to rueet (he demands upon
them. The. first shock was occasioned by the
suspension of two large sugar firms, and a
money making machine with which they were,
connected, and which, under their manage
xnent, had 6tepped out of its legitimate track
io lake advantage of side speculation. This
was followed by the suspension of the rich and
extended firm of Jay Cooke & Co., whose
liabilities were set down at some $70,000,000.
This, in turn, was followed by the suslcn;ion
of some dozen or fifteen other firms, among
them, the hitherto staunch house of Fisk &
Hatch, and the consequent creation of a panic,
which, over-riding all values and all settled
consideration of circumstances, looked upon
every house in Wall street, and nearly every
" bank, both in New York and elsewhere, with
suspicion. The result has been a grand crash,
which has brought ruin and wailing and woe,
rot only upon the monied houses themselves,
but, also, upon thousands, including widows
.and orphans, who had their ail placed in the
Lands of tl supposed raillionairs, for safety
2 nd profit.
Various reasons are given in explanation of
the terrible crash which has thus fallen upon
the country, and the blame is scattered in
divers directions ; but, the truth is, probably,
hat men, encouraged by the success which
lias hitherto met their advances towards the
ik-kle goddess fortune, have gone beyond them
selves, and rushed too madly into the pool
which has engulphed them. Indeed, it is
claimed by the parties who failed, themselves,
that the large amount of money that has been
loaned to western railroads, and the failure of
the companies to meet demands upon them
was the sole cause of the crash. And yet not
one of them can but 6ay that in venturing so
far into the millions, and so recklessly, they
were placing themselves beyond the pale of
financial legitimacy that speculative gambling
was their real business and that the bursting
of die bubble and the financial ruin of them
selves and their customers wa3 the legitimate
result. If none but the principals in the
failures Avere to be the sufferers the end would
be a cause for rejoicing on the part of those
ay ho long for the return of all financial busi
U'ss to a safe channel, but the result reaches
innocent parties, who, in good faith, placed
their funds in the hands of the cormorants for
investment, and for these the sincere regrets of
u'l cannot fail to arise. .
It is a fact to be rejoiced over, tho crash,
tl.us far is confined to the stock brokers and
financial gamblers; and that the mercantile
nr.d general business of the country will not
be seriouslv a fleeted by it. Indeed, outside of
the great stock speculating centers the
monetary surface has scarcely been marred
)y even a ripple, and the signs all are that the
instructive influence of the bad men's deeds,
which resulted in their overthrow, will not reach
those who are content with the moderate but
t-afe gains of legitimate business.
It is a source of gratulation to the country,
ihat President Grant, who was importuned to
come to the aid of the brokers, emphatically
refused to lend himself to the illegal attempt
ito loan the money of the people, who have
been swindled, for purposes of further specula-
aions on tne pan oi ine swjnuters. mere is a
wisdom in his conduct which will not be for
gotten. CX'RIOI'8.
The political situation in the Wayne and
Tike Representative District, is a very fair
representation of the successful manner in
which political managers can mix oil and
water, as well as the fairness of thee managers
in their treatment of each other. The candi
Vlate, this fall, as per fair and square agree
ment made two years ago, belongs to Pike, and
Pike's political owners or managers had
elected the Hon. Lafavette Westbrook as her
candidate. Put Wayne was not satisfied with
ibis, and steps in with a claim, based upon the
pro rata of population, and nominates William
J I. Dimmick, Esq., for the position, and insists
upon his nomiuation. Pike resists this and
hcerus determined to" stand by Westbrook, as
t''e only means of checking Wayne's rapacity,
which, two years ago, inflicted a wrong upon
her, by making a yearling of "Bub" Wells.
So far as the fight is between democrats we
are well pleased with it, and would be better
pleased with it still, if, like the butting goats
of story, they should keep oa butting eacl
other until there would be nothing to butt with
left, but the simmered down tails of the two
factions engaged. But there is another phase
of the matter which makes the fight still more
interesting. The Republicans of Wayne and
Pike have become convinced that there is
swindle in the agreement allowing Pike three
years to four for Wayne, out of the seven years
of the apjiortionment that as Wayne has five
times the population that Pike has, Wavne
should have five times the Representation that
Pike has; and then, to show that they do not
intend to act meanly, by taking advantage of
the split to electa candidate of their own,
these same Republicans coolly and virtuously
step forward, and nominate Wm. H. Dimmick,
the candidate of the Wayne Democracy, as
their candidate. And they mean to elect him
too. This has much the appearance, glanced
at from a distance, of the experimental mang
ling of oil and water, for no more bitter con
tests hare ever been engaged in, than those in
dulged by the Democrats and Republicans of
Wayne; but, it is said that the mixture is a
perfect one, andso lubricates the machinery of
the union, that failure of success will be an
impossibility.
Well, as it is none of our funeral, we will not
Ely urn over the result, Jet it be a3 it may.
ORTHCnX PACIFIC BOXDS.
The recent suspension of Jay Cooke & Co.,
has caused a feeling of anxiety to pervade the
minds of those who have money invested in
Northern Pacific Bonds, and a few facts in re
lation to the security of these bonds may be
interesting to those concerned.
While there can be no doubt that the sus
pension of this prominent banking firm the
financial agents of the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company, is a gieatblow and a serious
inconvenience to the company, yet this ought
not to, and does not affect the security wincn
the bond holders have for the money they
have invested in the company's bonds.
If the bonds were secure before the suspen
sion they are secure now, for the company owe
Jay Cooke & Co., and consequently no money
cati be lost by the failure of Jay Cooke.
The loss sustained in losing the support of the
influential house of Cooke & Co., and the in
convenience of finding others to negotiate
bonds in future, we do not pretend to under
estimate. It is very great, but as before stated
does not affect the security upon which the
money on the bonds was obtained.
Let us look at the present state of the road :
The company is entitled to receive from the
Government for every mile of road constructed
through the States 12.S0O acres of land, and
23,600 acres through the territories, a patent
for which is to be granted them at thecomplc
lion of every 25 miles of road which is finished
in a substantial manner.
There is now completed through Minnesota,
Dacotah and Washington territories, and
in working condition over 500 miles of road
which entitles the company to receive in the
neighborhood of 10,000,000 acres of land, a
patent for which has been granted.
The company has expended in constructing
and equipping these 500 miles of road $!,-
80-1,371.22.
The total indebtedness of the road is the
7 3-10 per cent gold bonds issued, amounting
in all to S30.000.000. To secure the holders of
these there is a mortgage covering the 10,000,600
acres of land above mentioned, the road-bed
and tracks, all rolling stock and other equip,
ments, all engine houses, machine shops
depots, water stations and other building, as
well as all rights, franchises, privileges, &c.
that belong to the road, in all, property worth
at least $13,000,000.
The Government price for land and the
price below which the company is rcstrictc
from selling is $2.50 per acre, but the lands
already sold, have netted on an average
between $o and $G per acre. Supposing the
land to be worth $3 the 10,000,003 acres
would pay ofl all the bonds, and leave the com
pany the road free and clear, without one dol
lar of debt upon it.
This looks as if the bonds were well secured.
But to make it still better for the bond holders,
the company agrees, and it is so stated on the
bonds, that any holder of a bond can buy of
the company land, at the lowest cash market
price, and pay for it with his bond at par and
interest. By a subsequent arrangement the
bonds are made receivable for lands at ten per
cent premium.
Now while it is possible for the holder of a
51,000 Northern Pacific Bond to buy $1,100
worth of lands on the line of a working rail
road and use his bond in payment, it would
be worse than folly for him to consider that
bond insecure, and sell it below its face value.
There is no man who has a desire to retain
his property, and is sane, who will mortgage
his property for less than its value and give
the holder of the mortgage the privilege of
buying at the lowest cash market price, and
handing over the mortgage at 10 per cent
premium In payment. Yet this is what the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company does, and
can afford to do, on account of the unparalled
and more than princely gift which the Govern
ment has bestowed upon them, in the land
grant alluded to, amounting in all to over 50,
000,000 of acres.
What mortgage anywhere can be more
secure and satisfactory than this? and what
security is there that is equal to a mortgage?
So far then as security is concerned we think
the holders of Northern Pacific Bonds may
rest easy.
But no security is satisfactory unless the
holder of it draws interest, and the question
therefore naturally arises, will the company be
able to pay the interest on their bonds?
In answer to this we can only S3y that the
500 miles of finished road is doing a better
business than was anticipated, and will yield
something over the expenses of operating it,
towards the payment of this interest.
In addition to this we believe that the road
will be rapidly pushed forward to completion
There is such an enormous amount of money
in the project, accruing from the Government
land grant, that there will be no difficulty in
finding men ready end willing to put it
through, even though Jay Cooke & Co. do not
recover sufficiently to do it.
In order to accomplish this, more money
must be raised on the company's bonds, and it
would be folly to put more bonds on the
market, unless the interest on the present one
is promptly paid. In view of this fact, we
think, every exertion will be made by the
company to pay the January interest on the
day it is due, and to keep on paying the inter
est promptly and punctually on the first days
of January and July, at least until the road is
completed and the company has borrowed all
the money they want. ,
Taking then into consideration the security
of the bonds w ith the privilege of exchanging
them for land, with no deduction in their
value, but at a premium ot 10 per cent, and
the probability that the interest will be met
when due, we advise all holders of these bonds
not to part with then! at a sacrifice.
While their value is undoubtedly diminished
in the bond market on account of the great
financial crash which has convulsed the whole
country, yet their intrinsic value remains tie
same. ' The same security Li there, and the
company has sustained no financial loss except
the loss of the influence and prestige of Jay
Cooke & Co. s name.
These are our candid views, and whether
our faith is well founded or not, we leave for
the public to decide.

WHAT A HE - WE REI'l'CLI
CAXS GOIXG TO BO ?
The democracy have - managed to get two
Richmondsin the field for Representatives,
this fall, and the question naturally arises,
what are we Republicans going to do about it?
Shall we stand idly by, and, with folded arms
look complacently on . at the battle between
the Carbonites and Monroeites, or, shall we
join forces with either and push the tide of
victory over to the faction we deign to favor?
We think neither horn of the dilemma should
be seized upon. It is true that the Republi
cans of Wavnc and Pike have set us an exam
ple worthy of consideration, but we cannot
pvsdc the thought that the better plan would
be to look out for ourselves, ' and by nominal
c
ing and voting for a straight-out Republican,
perfect our organization and strengthen our
llnM not onlv for this fall's campaign, but for
future operations as well.
With the squabbles and wrangles of demuc
racy, we should have nothing to do, save to
make them useful for the accomplishment of
our own success; and if this cannot be brought
about bv collision with the Dimmickites or the
Kistlerites this fall, and we don't see how it
can, then let us do the other thing, and, in the
presentation of a Republican candidate for the
Legislature, and voting for him, do what we
can towards bringing out the full Republican
vote for our excellent State ticket. This really
should and must be the design of all our opera
tions, if we would do a share towards keeping
our State Treasury and our Supreme Bench
from being manipulated for partizan ends and
aims. We deem it wrong at any time to fight
the battles of democracy, and especially, is it
wrong now, when so much is at stake, to forego
the privilege which should be blessed to
every Republican, of voting for Represents
live men of our own party, in preference to
voting for men from whom we can expect
nothing but opposition to our principles upon
every occasion.
But if we would do anything in this matter
we must begin at once. The time is too short
for delay. The candidate belongs to Monroe
Have we a man willing to "put himself before
the people? If so let us find it out at once
and go to work for him. If we have not sucl
a man, as it matters but little as to locality, but
much as to principle, let us request our Repub
lican brethren of Carbon to furnish us the can
didate, and then vote and work for hi3 success
with all might. We have every reason to be
lieve that our voting and working, will not
have been in vain.
It is a reruarkablo fact, that, thus far.
all the amunition the Democrats are using i
favor of their State ticket was furnished them
in the pufft direct and puffs collateral, whic
easy hearted Republican editors vouchsafed to
their candidates. Not an assertion has been
made 'in favor of either Ludlow, for tl
Supreme bench, or Hutchinson for tho Stat
Treasurcship, that has not been cobbled direct!
from some Republican paper. We find no
fault with our Republican coteinporaries for
these displays of great goodness of heart but
we do think our Democratic cotemporaries
must feel the weakness of a cause, which i
compelled to go to its opponents for the capita
upon which they base a demand for the votes
of the people1. The fact of the business is tha
neither the principles nor the candidates o
the Democratic party are to be trusted in th
management of public affairs for generation
to come, or until their sousings in the pools o
defeat have washed from them every trace of
their former political depravity.

The Am Cave. A few days ago the
Gerraantown Scientific Society met iu its
rooms, in Stokes' block, Twenty-second
ward, Germantown, Philadelphia. The
principal feature of the evening was the
report of the committee to investigate the
causes of the cold air cave at the Delaware
Water Gap, Pennsylvania. The committee
reported that the cave is in the tide of Mr.
Minsi, facing tho Delaware river ; there is an
aperture iu the face of the rocks, about two
feet in diameter, from which a current of
cold air issues with considerable violence.
Near this opening is a hollow stump, which
is also a vent for the air. Several crevices in
the rock yield a supply of this cold atmos
phcro.
The question now arises as to what causes
this volume of air, and why it should bo
cold. The committee believes it has a solu
tion of the question.
About thirty or forty foot from the main
aperture is a spring of cold water, three sides
and the top of which are of stone. The
water of this spring trickcls from the top and
sides does not spring from the bottom. On
listening a gurgling of water can be heard,
not such as springs usually make, but similar
to a rapidly flowing crock over a pebbly bot
tom. The spring is evidently leaking Ifou)
this creek, for such the committee believe it
to be.. And, too, at the spring, air as cold,
though not in as groat a volume, cau be felt.
Tho rapid transit of a subterranean creek
would cause quite a strong current of air,
strong enough to thoroughly chill any one
standing in its way for any length of time.
