The New IoRK EVENING EXCHANGE
From an article in Haypcr'S Weekly on
this defunct financial nuisance, we ex-
tract the following description Of it in its
worst days:
But its glories, as they shall be told by
the historian of our fOllies and our sorrows,
will cling to the long, low, sitting room in
Broadway, below Madison Square. 1t was
here that the Evening Exchange won its
name, and coerced the unwilling editors oi
the daily press to publish its reports or fail
in their duty rs newspapers. 1t was here
that the giants of 1868 showed a gaping
crowd how to make and how to lose fortunes
1t WINS here that the willy Erie Director
spread his tolls, and swept the money of the
street into his capacious pocket. 1t was
here that n street broker sold two millions of
gold, with smiling face in fifteen seconds Of
time. 1t was here that Ketchum whitfield
his soft pine stick, and dallied with millions,
losing and making fortunes with as serene a
face as if he had been playing cats cradles
with his baby.
TO this room thousands of people came
every night. You might rely upon meeting
there everybody who was anybody in Wall
street. 1t was fearful place. The heat, in
the depth of winter, with windows wide open,

Ab, yes! The time; but, for this, we are never
ready; 1t ever arrives too soon. Even in age we
wish It would delay Its coming and yield us yet

feel how utterly impotent are our desires to ar

why II shuuld bn 30, but yield submissivoly to
that which we are pOwerless to avert, and bow
in revcrent awe to the decree Of him who governs

These reflections are painfully suggested by

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE MISSISSIPPI Cox,
vENrIoN.-The Now Orleans correspondeni

JEFF. DAVIS AND THE MISSISSIPPI Coz.
vEKrIoS.--The New Orleans correspondent
Of the Boston Post says:
In such n convention, made up in great
haste Of personal friends and acquaintance
Of Jefferson Davis, there could not, of course,
but be much solicitude as to his fate. The
question of his pardon very early came up in
formal manner, but was laid aside for the
reason that such action would be prejudicial
to his cause. The Convention was very
largely composed of Mr.. Davis old political
enemies, with whom he has had many con
test on the stump and in the Cabinet, but l
believe there is no difference of opinion
among them on this subject. All of them are
unequvocally for his pardon and will do all
in their power, in their individual or col
lectve capacity, to effect it. The same is
being done all through the State, by both
sexes in all classes Of society.
Mr.. Davis was very much respected every
where in Mississippi for the purity of his
life, the dignity and graces of his manner
and his general ability and requirements
Besides, nearly all his old neighbors and com
patriots political enemies rs we'll Us friends
either went with him or followed him finally
into secession. lie was only their political
leader, and their soicitudo, for an old friend
and neghbor is natural and creditable.
Could not Mr.. DAVIS be persuaded to
run for the Senate, or to take command Of
the State militia?

The trial of WIRz the rebel barbarian, is
sorely trying the temper of the American
people, and we begin to hear from various
quarters protcstations that enough evidence
has been ELECTED already. Away with
him ~ is the cry. We npprehend however,
that the people will be called upon to excr.
else sublime patience for some time longer.
As the unparalleled atrocities Of the Ander.
sonville prison are more fully developed, the
increasing Importance Of bringing out dH
the facts is becoming more and more apparent.
1t is true that enough has been proved to
cntitle this iend to the blackcst doom; it is
true that after the developments already
made he would be in imminent danger of
being killed at sight by our soldiers should
the Government set him at largc but as the
cnormities of the prison pen under his COM
mand are brought to light the voice of jus.
tice demands in more imperative tones that
we should also find who else is responsible with
him for the barbarities inflicted upon our sol
iers. It cannot bo that WIRz is alone rcspons
ible. He says, and with truth, no doubt
that he was acting under orders from supe
rior authority. lie claims tc have been only
n soldier of fortune, working for hire and he
asserts with sardonic grin on his bloodess
face, that without doubt the "big rebels, u
under whom he acted, will be pardOned, while
he is made to suffer the extreme penalty oI

the length and breadth, the height and depth
of this diaboism that we counsel our reader
to have patience unto the end.
If we are not mistaken, evidence will b,
produced by the Government to show tina
the leading members of the rebel confederacy
were cognisant of the cruelties practiced il
the AndersOnville prison. that they author
lied them for the purpose of failing or rem
dering unfit for service our soldiers in their
hands; that JEFF. DAVIS, JAMES A. Seldom,
etc, were A,liersDmriihqnS as well as the
wretch now On trial. This portion Of the
evidence will probably be commenced this
afternoon.
The horrors Of the prison were developed
to their climax in the testimony given yes.
tcrday, and it seems only necessary to trace
out the responsibilities Of the big rebels. -
Then WIRz has thirty-odd witnesses SUN.
moned for his defence, and thus the trial will
last several days longer, Meanwhile, we say
again, lot the public exercise patience, ant
wait for the full and entire revelation of the
cnormities practiced on our prisoners by the
leaders of tho "ehivalry,' aided by thei
boodhounds and other whelps.

Or MONDAY, October Q, the people Of Ar
kansas will elect the three members Of Con.
gress to which that State is entitled by the
apportionment of 1860. Gov. Murphy, in
his proclamation, directs special attention to
the act of the Legislature disfranchising all
who have been in rebellion since the 18th Of
April, 1864, the date Of organization Of the
loyal State government, and says he will re-
quire its most rigid enforcement. This
makes the lately reconstructed squirm.
They are filling the air with howls Of uncon-
stitutional prescription, and their lawyers
are flooding the State with arguments to
show that the act is null and void These
demonstrations on their part have led Gov.
Murphy to recall his recommendations for
special pardons, and to announce that he will
act upon no more cases at present. In the
First district, Helena and White River J
Col. T. NJ. Jacks and Col David c. Cross are
announced as candidates. Tho counties arc
completely organized with loyal sherifs and
Judges, and it is believed the election will
pass of peaceably. 1t is not expected, how
ever, that the Federal garrisons in the State,
numbering some 10000 men, will be much
reduced until after the election.
The general election in Mississippi, for
Governor, Legislature, and five members of
Congress, beside county, judicial, and dis
trict officers, has been ordered by the late
Convention to take place on Monday, 0cto-
Der 2, and candidates are us thick as black
berries. For Governor, there are Judge 4.
s. Fisher, of Tallahatchie, Benz. G. Hum
phreys, of Sunhower, J. T. Harrison, of
Lowndes, and J, d. Stewart, of Kinds. The
first named has the Endorsement of leading
delegates to the Convention and seems most
likely to succeed. The other State Offices to
be filed are Secretary, Treasurer, Auditor,
and Attorney General, and for each three or
four names are presented. James r. Yea
ger, the provisional Secretary of State, has
resigned, and John II. JEchols appointed in
his stead. Tho Congressional districts for
the present are to remain the same as be-
fore the war, the number of members being
unchanged. Tho only member thus far an
nounced is E. G. Poyton, of Corinth, in the
9Th Jacksonl district. The Legislature is to
meet on Monday, October 10th, 1.-TWO weeks
after election,) and previous to adjournment
tho Convention appointed Messrs. A. II.
Handy, of Madison, e. J. Goode, of Law.
renee, and W. Hemingway, of Carroll to
examine the laws of the State, and report to
the Legislature what amendments are neces-
sary to carry into effect the ordinance relative
to the emancipation of slaves.

The Currency Bureau have recently made
an important decision in regard to banking
institutions, an imperfect statement of which
has been already published. Its purport is,
that although bank might be permitted to
organize without circulation, by waving
their claim to it, yet the law requires all
banks to deposit ut least one third the
amount of their capital in United States
bonds, and this requirement can in no case
be dispensed with Although the privilege
of circulation may be waived, the deposit, as
above stated, must be made.

The State Department to-day is in receipt
of advices from the United States Consul
stationed at Palermo, dated August IA. He
speaks of the serious spread Of the cholera at
Ancona, Italy, where some eight hundred
people have died, and isolated cases have
happened in other towns of Italy, France,
and Spain. The local authorities have au-
thorized seven days of quarantine for all
arrivals from italian, French, and Spanish
ports including Gibraltar.
The United States Consul stationed at
Port Mahon informs tho State Department
this morning, under date of August IA, of
the arrival nt that quarantine Of a Turkish
steamer which left Alexandria with 1900
pilgrims. The steamer, he says, comes with
!, l,2SO, and reports having left on the way 5O0
Twenty deaths occurred from cholera on the
passage.
The Captain, at his arrival at Port Mahon,
reported all we'll, but on examination of the
steamer, dead bodies were found on board in
q sad state Of decomposition. The Captains s
statements are discredited, and the 500 not
accounted for may have died by the same
disease. The Consul states that accounts re-
ceived at that station concur in the opinion
that the cholera is making its way westward.
Thus far the cholera has followed the pill
grims, who, he says arc packed like sardines
on shipboard. Their religion does not allow
them, while passing to and from Mecca, to
sleep on bed, to wash, or to eat any warm
food They are covered with filth and yer.
