BOSTON, Oct. 2-6P M.-Money matters re-
main about the same. The general reputation
OF the ldea OF bank suspension, manifested at the
meeting OF merchants, today, gives more tone to
puonc commence, but does not afford relief. The
pressure IS steady and heavy. Business at the
Brokers Board is nearly suspended snu,e few
railroad shares sold low.
The failures reported, today, are-Parsops.
Cutler, Co., dry goods Moses Pond & Co.,
stove dealers.
New YoRK, Oct, 2.-Money is very stringent
and there has been great decline in stocks
Three heavy failures are announced-GrummeIl
& hoysteTs, Southern produce louise Pierre
Choteau Co., fur dealers, &C., connected with
st; Louis and Hutchinson, Tiffany & Co.
There was slightly improved feeling in the
money market, today the banks carrying out
their agreement of Tuesday in good faith Paw
ments at the subtreasury were heavy, amounting
to upward of $1,000 before noon.
Three failures only were reported-the heayi-
est being being that of P. Choteau, Jr, & Co
who are largely engaged in the fur trade This
failure, however, will not affect the house of P.
Choteau, Sanford, & Co.. which was principally
engaged in the iron trade, and will meet all its
engagements
The old Saratoga Bank in this State, and the
Bass River Bank, Massachusetts, were thrown
out today. 1t is believed from inquiries made AZ
our principal banks, that the heavy payments
falling due tomorrow will mostly be met .I
The panic in the stock market this morning
was complete, the decline all around ranging
from to per cent Michigan Central has fall
en- 10 per cent. since yesterday; Galena and Chi.
eago 8 Erie Conyertbles of '87 declined 3
Philadelphia funds were negotiated TODAY at 7
per cent, and Baltimore at s. Sterling exchange
very irregular. A large sum in produce bills,
with lading attached, was sold at 80. Late in
the day. two other failures were announced, viz;
swift, Rawson, & Co., brokers, and agents of
Chicago banking house, and Powell, fRamsdel
4 Co., forwarders, Newburg. The latter firm
does an immense business, and are largely inter.
ested in the Powell Bank of Newburg 1s
John B.'Jervis was today elected President of
the Michigan Southern Bank
Inc news of the stand taken by the Boston
merchants, at their meeting today, was received
here with qualification
There has been something of a run today on
the Williamsburg banks and saving institutions,
Y consequence of the failure of the Farmers and
citizens Bank. The demand was promptly met.

CONFESSION AND DYING SPEECH OF THE
VIcTM OF LYNCH LAW IN MISSISSIPPI. The
following description of the execution Of JEFF.
ferson Gray, for the alleged murder of Robert
Alternately, in Pontotoc county, Mississippi,
is given in the Examiner -
With general hurrah and shouting, the
crowd marched their victim off Immediately
to the woods. About half mile from the
town Of Red Land, they halted at hickory
tree, at the road side, tied Hrope around the
prisoners neck, and threw the. other end of
the rope over limb of the tree.
They then gave him few minutes to saw
his prayers and speak what he had to say. He
first called for drink of water, which being
given to him, he said :-"They had one end
of the rope around his neck and the other
over the limb; but, there was a God in
heaven, and hell below, he was innocent of
the charge against him Some one of them
cried out, "Hang him up; he is determined
to die with lie in his mouth" A motion
was made to swing him up, when he cried to
hold on, and he would confess and tell the
whole truth.
A little time wss given him. He then con-
fessed that she shot acknowledgement some
difficulty had occurred between Alternately.
Jones, and himself-that he went to Aber.
nathy in the field, and attacked him on the
subject" Abernathy, having no gun, ac-
knowledged himself in Gray's power, turned
his back to him to walk off, when he shot
him in the back. After he had fred the gun,
Alternately exclaimed, ''You have killed me,
Gray, but am going to heaven"
He further stated that s'no one else was
implicated in the murder except himself; that
his wife was a good woman, and he hoped she
would be taken good care of that Alternately

the flames of hell blazing under his feet, like

and called for some one to pray for him.

prayer for the spiritual welfare of the prison.

Governor Walkers Proclamation concern
ing the election in Kanzas, may be taken as
series of confessions Of the infamies of border
ruffian rule in that territory. He coufesses
that the law respecting the appointments
for the next Legislature was fraudulently
concealed from him, until it was too late for
him to act. He admits that fifteen counties
were DISTINGUISHED in the apportionment that
was made, after he had failed by reason of the
fraudulent concealment of the law to do his
duty to the people Of the territory. He adj
mits that the people of these same counties
were defrauded of their rights of representa-
ton in the convention now sitting for the
formation OF a constitution. He does not
deny that the infamous agents Of this local
tyranny, imposed on the people by violence
and fraud, and are seeking to afix condition
TO the right of suffrage which will exclude the
mass of citizens from the polls. And while
he makes vague promises Of protection against
further fraud and violence, by means Of the
United States troops, he virtually admits that
he can do nothing to defeat the purposes
OF those to whom those crimes against the
rights OF the people are justly chargeable.
Upon the whole, the Governors proclama.
ton presents the worst picture Of souatter
sovereignty and rufian government ever vet
officially. Tecorded.-C Cor. Nev York Courier

We have copied from the Boston papers of last
evening an account of the meeting ofmerchants,
manufacturers, and business men, in that city
on Friday afternoon, to consider what measures
could be adopted to relieve the community from
the dire effects Of the existing dSirpst of all
mercantile securities. The tone Of the meeting
was decidedly against suspension ofspecie pay
ments on the part of the banks, and in favor Of
an extension OF discounts, but none of the speak
ers who favored an extension of discounts seemed
to take into consideration the obvious difficulties
that lie in the way of such an extension, in the
existing state of monetary affairs.

MOUNT WASHINGTON, The opening Of a
carriage to the top Of Mount Washington has
brought half a dozen claimants to the acre
Of rocks upon the summit, and legal steps
have been taken to obtain possession. The
trouble has probably arisen from the State
having granted more acres in that vicinity
than there is land. The carriage road is also
in difficulty, and is advertised to be sold at
auction on the twenty second of October, to
satisfy an execution in favor of the contract.
ors The number Of visitors to the summit
this season has been three thousand one
