Bottom, Mt Last.

The financial frenzy at the East has done
its worst. The panic has run its head against
the stone wall Of general suspension. The
butchers for gold have clutched their last.
The specie, what little there was, is swept
out Of the vaults, and the banks are doing
business with closed doors. The banks
broke the people, and now the people have
broken the banks. Our dispatches from
New York and New England indicate that a
general and unanimous, suspension took
place yesterday. The institutions of New
York City virtually suspended at the meet
ing of Tuesday evening. The storm sped
East and North with lightning velocity. All
the financial centers, Hartford, Boston,
Portland, Troy, Albany, and Buffalo went
down simultaneously, carrying with them
everything in the shape Of bank in the great
monetary States of the Union. Philadelphia
and Baltimore had done their part two weeks
ago. Two or three banks in New York, out
Of the whole iifty-six, continue to defy the
utmost Of the public rage. The rest are on
the general level.
The bottom has now been fairly reached,
and the impr0v ement must be immediate and
general. Indeed, the suspension is looked
upon as relief everywhere, and the prices
OF everything have started up as under mag
ical influence. Stocks have risen from one n
to ten per cent, and grain has experienced
similar buoyancy. Business has fallen up-
on the currency basis, and while specie is
howing IN upon Us from England, there il
no reason why we should not be content with
that medium of circulation. Among other
blessings OF the period, exchange has fallen

The above are all the returns that have
reached US up to this date. We do not, Of
course, vouch for their correctness. In
many instances, the figures above given will
not vary from the official result. 1t will be
seen on comparison of the vote given for
BUCHANAN and that given for SAaUELs, that
the latter has gained some 1000 votes in the
counties heard from, over BUcuASANs vote
last fall. 1t will also be seen, that LOVES
vote in the same counties falls short of that
given Fremont some 1000 or more. Ac-
cording to the reported figures above, LOWE
leads SANuELs by about 1000 votes. In the
Counties yet to hear from, Fremont had
a plurality of over 1900. Even allowing
SANuELs the same proportionate gain in the
Counties to hear from US in those already
heard from, and yet Lowe would be elected
by upwards of 5000 To our mind there is
not the shadow Of doubt as to the result
Of course, RALPH P. LOWE is the Governor
elect.

The unexpected failure Of the Trust Com

ance, trust, and a disposition to make tn

necessity of permanent suspension any

Illinois Central Railroad-R JUNIORS Of Assign.
lnent.

We have sought diligently for the source
of the report of the assignment of the llli-
nois Central, but in vain. We therefore pro-
nounce it a roorback. No assignment has
been made or contemplated. The story is
as idle as the winds that blow. 1t may be
true enough that some of the paper Of the
Company went to protest on Saturday, but
that was not in consequence of want of
means in the treasury Of the company, but
solely because the Company's officers failed
to convert its Sterling Exchange into currcn-
cy, Of which they had on hand nearly one
million of dollars. The depreciation of
Sterling Exchange has been SO great, that
there is no sale for large sums at any price.
The paper protested were notes given for
the construction Of bridges, culverts and re-
pairs to the track-called ssfoating'' debts.
The amounts presented for payment, we are
told, did not exceed $200, 900; but as the
exchange in the treasury, could not be re-
duced to gold, or its equivalent, at that mo-
mcnt, the notes were not paid, and, Of
course, were protested, notwithstanding
they may be liquidated to-day or to- morrow.
The idea Of an assignment Of the property
Of this mammoth corporation, to pay an OBJ
legation hardly equal to the weekly sales of
land belonging to the Company, is simply
ridiculous CHICAGO Tribune.

renew the attempt to lay the Atlantic cable
this year. The cable has been unshipped
from the holds Of the Aganemnon and Maya.

eminent dockyard at Kcyham. There Il is
to be well tarrcd and attended to, to prevent
itfrom rusting. In the meantime about
one hundred miles more Of the cable are to
be manufactured, which with the quantity in
hand, will make three thousand miles for the
experiment next year. The cost Of the un-
successful experiment is estimated about
