Shock IN THE MONEY MARKEr.-ln
Saturdays paper we alluded to the inlellf-
gence from New Orleans Of mercantile
disasters to a very heavy amount. When
this news reached New York, it created
much sensation in the Money Market, since
it was understood that the Messrs. JosEpHs
of Wall street, Brokers, were Involved TO
the amount Of million and quarter'-
Stocks fell from five TO ten per cent, and
much sympathy" was expressed for The
opulenl and cntcrprising firm, who by this
"untoward event" have been compelled to
suspend their payments. The shock IN the
Money Market is the greater since the Jo'
sephs were supposed to be almost beyond
the possibility of insolvency. The firm are
waiting farther advices from New Orleans,
and employing the interval in an nvest'ga,
ton of their resources, before they decide
whether their suspensions Of payments
shall be temporary or final. The Banks
came forward to DO what they could for
the Josephs-lhe Philadelphia u. S. Bank
alone offering million. The Officers of
the New York Banks and the principal
creditors of the firm, convened, but as the
Josephs wanted some millions, it was decl'
ded lha, so large a sum could not be nd-
vanced.
1t is natural to commiscrate at all times
the mlslorluncs Of industry in distress
while in the abstract, the dewnfal Of those
who have reared their own wealth on the
losses and privalons OF others, commands
no very keen emotions Of sympathy.
The system of shaving and stock gamb
ling is of decidedly immoral tendency, and
(of course we impute no UNIV orthy motives
unless we are misinformed, the Messrs. 10
sephs have their full share in the Wall st.
operations of 1885. II all tales be true
they are now realizing some OF the bite
dsappointments, which have caused many
a weary heart ache, to those who confide'
in the fidelity and tender mcrcies of TIT
Wall-street Brokers.

ANECDOTE OF MIR. SECRETARY
WOODBURY..

Mr.. Secretary Woodbury. has become
ever-ilustrious. Ills picture should be
put into the print shops. a trait Of char
aclcr was recently developed in his con-
ncction with the investigating Committee
OF Congress, that Is sufficient to damn any
public officer to most unenvIable fame. -
Mr.. Woodbury., as Secretary Of the
Treasury, is in The receipt of all the cmolu
unents which the laws attach to an Office
that was once considered highly respec'a
bic and responsible. But the General has
of late years assumed all the respons 5lllly
and the character Of its late lncumbcnls
has absorbed all its responsibility.
While in this situation as public officer,
Mr.. Woodbury. was summoned to attcad
the Investigating Committee, to give in
formation connected with the Department
over which he presides. On concluding
his labors before the Committee. Mr.
WOODBURY. SENT IN BILL TO THE Com,
MITTEE FOR SEVEN DAYS ATTENDANCE As
AwITNEss AT TWO DOLLARS A DAY. This
is creditable conduct in Cabinet officer
A man who receives competent salary
fot devoting all his time to public duties
sc nds in n bill to Congressional Commit
tee, for witness fees in case connected
with his own especial department! How
would some Of Mr.. Woodbury's prcdeces'
sors have regarded such petty rapacily!
But tho best of the story is TO come. =
The Committee examined the bill, and
though composed of n ma ority of Tho
friends of the Crown, Refused 10 aVow IL
They found that instead Of attending seue'
DAYS, Mr.. Woodbury. had attended but .fr
and that instead Of charging fourteen
dollars he should charge bot ten. They
cut down the bill of the ilusirious f5ecre
,ary accordingly, on the ground OF an over
charge. He had charged the State io
much, and the CommIllo determined to al
low bin only that to which he was by hi
own showing entitled.
This little fact is important not mercl
in illustrating The small seishness of

Mr. WEBsTER,s RECEPTION AT New
YoRN on "Wednesday, is described by the
public Journals OF that CITY as literally
triumpha, far surprising the expectations
of his polica friends who supposed that
enthusiastic expression of patriotic feeling
had for the present passed away and sub
sided, since the quadrennlal election. The
Boat which conveyed him to the City did
not arrive until an hour after her time, and
thousands by thousands poured forth to
greet him on his landing. Broadway was
filled, and the North Battery crowded
with dense mass of citizens. On landing
he was received by committee who con.
Quoted him to q ba.ouchc drawn by white
horses, in which he was conveyed to his
Hotel, preceded by an escort of two or
three hundred gentlemen on horseback,
and followed by a train of carriages, and
procession Of several thousands OF cl'l>
zens.
The Commercial says "From the Bat
terry to his lodgings at the American, the
progress of Mr. Webster was an almost
unprecedented, yet glorious civic triumph
Often was the procession brought TO 'ul
stop by the crowd, while the Senator was
kept bowng TO the multtudes on every

INAUGURATION DAY AND WErK.-The
concourse of persons in this city from every
point OF the compass, on the day OF the
late InauguratioE Of President Of the Uni
ted States, was large beyond example,
No enumeration could of course be made
Of strangers arriving here by so many DIFF
ferent paths. Some idea may be formed
Of the lhrong at the hotels from the single
fact, that at one BARRIERS shop in the city
the sum of three hundred dollars was Ia
ken for shaving, &c. within the Inaugura-
ton week; 10 which We may add the fact
that, more than once in the week, the cars,
which run twice day from this place to
Baltimore, carried five or six hundred pas
sengers at time. The number Of vsl-
ters far exceeded the means Of accommo-
.dation afforded by our public houses, and,
from want Of knowing where temporary
lodging might be had, we apprehcnd that
many Of the strangers suffered good deal
of Inconvenience, after arriving here. until
they get away again. We are iorclbly re
minded of all this by the following lively
description Of the scene, extracted from an
account of "the Inauguration" which we
find in the Portsmouth (Va.) Times, one of
the Editors Of which journal was, it APP
peas. among the sufferers:
"The cOncourse OF strangers in the city
was immense. For many days previous
the hotels and boarding houses had been
excessively crowded; many were daily
turned off, houscless and homeless, and the
number of the rejected continued to IN
crease until the day ITSELF when it was ev'.
dent that there were thousands Of good
folks without any fixed tarrying place. 1t

FAMILY JARs-The correspondent OF

John Forsyth. the Secretary of State,
scnt in Yesterday his resignation, IN note
addressed with The uncour,cous supcrscrip
ton, ".Mr. Pan Buren,, President Of Hc
United Sldies." A copy Of this, together
with an address from Mr.. Forsyth, TO The
citizens Of Gcogia, was sent to the Globe.
and would have appeared this morning mao
it not been suppressed thc eyening before by
consent Of parties. What concessions were
made by Van Buren, to Forsyth, or how he
storm was quoted, | am unable to say; but
the facts as | relate them 20 you are sub
stantialy correct. That Mr.. Van Buren,
was alarmed at the idea OF rupture Of
his Cabinet SO early IN the outset of his pc.
iitical career, have no doubt, and that he
is anxious to get rid Of Forsyth have just
as little doubt. Some say that Mr.. Van
Buren, offered The Secretary a Mission to
Austria, aud hence that his pride was deep
~ wounded at the idea of "being offered a
mission TO third rate Court" What will
the Imperial House Of Austria say, could
he hear of such a speech from an American
Secretary of State? This man is igno.
rant even Of the relative rank of The Courts
Of Europe. Such was the alarm lest this
thing should leak out, that all the persons
i'm the Globe office were specially informed
that no mention was to be made of wha,
had occurred and yet the thing has leaked
,out--and l pledge my faith to you, nay
proof if necessary, Of its correctness.
