The PubIIc Peril.

The recent momentary collapse in the
national securities, growing out of false
telegram in Philadelphia paper, that the
President had directed the Attorney GEN
eral to inquire into the constitutional COM
potency of the present Congress, is proof
positive of the existence of considerable
uneasiness among financial men. But we
think even stronger evidence Is afforded
by the continued depression of the public
securities. Upon the restoration of peace
and long before the Government had dis
played Its wonderful Tecuperatiye financial
power we saw gold sinking to about q
hundred and twenty. 1 This rise In the cur
rency was due, no doubt, to the general inn
preston among busiless men that with the
UNQUALIFIED submission of the South, the
sectional controversy was ended, and the
whole country would speedily be reorgan-
ized as nearly as possible on its ancient
foundations. si l.. &c .strb az. u
Since then the national exchequer has
groaned with its boards. Such q stream of
revenue as no Government since the world
began could ever boast Of has poured Its
redundant volume into the Treasury. The
national debt which, when gold was down
10 I22, was universally treated as a burden
that must rest upon successive generations,
Is now as universally considered thing
which ought to be settled and disposed of,
with the existing revenue, in the course of
the next eleven years. Trade has been ac-
tive and steady-no financial exigencies
have arisen-American stocks have been in
considerable request abroad--the tide Of
specie, which flowed to Europe, has turned
and Is coming back again-and. yet we see
Government paper sinking below l50!
Why is this? Is it not due TO adisappoint-
ment among the financial men In the polit-
ical prospects? Instead of the anticipated
peace and reunion-the restoration OF good
feeling, tranquility and security upon q
permanent basls-they see the country re-
mitted 10 the throes and anxieties OF an un-
certain future. They see great violence
aud animosityr among public men and par
ties. Phey see extreme measures everyr
where In the ascendant, and moderate and
conciliatory views the certain road to pop
ular disgrace. Is 1t at all wonderful that
these aspects of the situation should aetr
iyely antagonize all those financial COM
sideratiOns which, would otherwise have
effectively sustained the public credit2 r

aud hailed with enthusiastic appreciation,

ment that very point of the competency OF
the existing Congress to try and depose
him. And here upon the very threshold oil

RunawayS.

Two rather serious runaways occurred
yesterday.
The horses attached to Cochenbaugh's
hack, became frightened, while standing at
the depot yesterday forenoon, and ran off
with the empty hack toward the National
Hotel, In front of the National, they ran
the hack against a post, smashing the glass
and breaking in one side OF the vehicle. A
negro who was near, caught the horses,
and prevented them from causing further
mischief.
Yesterday afternoon book peddler, in
coming up from Groveport in his wagon
on the Lancaster turnpike, not far from the
city, overlook drove of hogs, and was
driving along through the drove, when his
horse took frIghtat the hogs, and ranoff at
full speed, breaking the wagon to pieces,
and very seriously injpring the peddler.

The Ne1 York Journal Of Commerce re-
marks on the result of the recent elections /:
1"We have believed that evidence of a
large popular majority at the North in fa-
vor of the immediate restoration Of the
Union would inspire general confidence,
and give a fresh impulse to all legitimate
business. We doubt If such Inspiration
will come of the apparent Endorsement OF
the Congressional policy by that portion of
the people who have committed themselves
in its favor at the late elections. The settle
n1ent of our National difficulties toiH eoidentIy
be prolonged bya, and The coaNtry wtH cont

rhe concert az NnuwhtOn HalI.

..
The first entertainment Of Max Stfak7
osch's Concert troupe was given last even
ing at Naughton Hall. The Hallwas filed
with large, ,fashionable and appreciatiye
audience. We are mo musical critic, and
cannot, therefore, speak of the merits of
particular artists. We cannot better de-
scribe the entertainment than by using the
brief, but expressive phrase, which we
heard from every one Of whom We Inquired
what they thought Of the concert sit was
splendid"
Meyer was an audience more enthusias-
tic or more transported, ssIit were, Bitifla
sort of .turore ofdelight, than was the as
sembly at Ngpghton Hall last 2eyening.
Nearly every piece was enthusiastically en-
cored and re-encored, the audience refusing
to be satisfied Without repetitiony or a
second performance by the same artist or
artists. The violin solos by Mr.. r, Jehin
Prume were especially masterpieces in in
strumental music. Such also were. the
songs, ballads aud the other piecesof vocal,
as we'll as Instrumental music. Tt was,
taken together, one Of the best, If not the
best, entertahment ever afforded to On ap-
dience In Columbus.
Max Strakosch is justly celebrated for
the superior concert troupes he has organ
lied, but this now performing here, may be
said to surpass any previous troupe he has
favored uswith. The troupe givess sec
ond and last concert tonight, with sn en-
tire change'of programme. We lay to
our friends, secureyopr seats early, for the
Hall will doubtless be crowded. sy~1n

and Andrew Rittenbocker.
p The testimony in thezc having been
closed, the arguments of counsel were
commenced at the opening 6fthe court In
the forenoon. The Eopehihg,argdment was
made by Judge Warden for the plaintiff,
who was followed by Mr.. Noble for ihe
city. Judge Rankin closed with an argu-
nent in behalf of the plaintiff.
TheaJpdge's charge to the jqrypwaS given
at about half past four o'clo Kin tbslaAet-
noon Some Of its features werdsin bfiel
the followlng:
The action was brought for an alleged
injury by nuisance to the property and to
the health of the plaintiff and his family.
The city had bfiiit asewer which dis.
charges itself near the pIaintiff's property,
emitting offensive odors, and thus coming
within the definition of nuisance. The
plaintiff could not recover damages with
out proving especial inidry to his PROPERTY
and the health of himself and family. The
depreciation of property and the injury to
health must be proved directly and notVbe
left to inference.
A son Of fuh age residing with his wife
in his fathers house, is ordinarily to be
considered as having family of his own,
not included in his father'sfamily. Z l
If the nuisance complained of has rem
dered the air about the plaintiffs premises
Impure and uriwholesome, and rendered
the same disagreeable and uncomfortable
for habitation, these considerations may
be taken into account in connection with
proof of an actual depreciation of the prop
erty in consequence of the nuisance, but
not otherwise.
The jury were confined to a period ,oi
four years preceding the commencement Of
the action in February last, in their con-
sideration of the alleged injury. In esti-
mating the amount, of compensation, Il
any, to which the plaintiff might be en-
titled, the jury could not give yipdictlye
or punitive damages, as there was no
allegation or proof of malice on the part
I of the defendant.
The jury having received the charge Of
the Court, retired to their room to consider
upon their verdict.

HENRY WARD BEEoHER truly says: 81
know that If theiwealth ofthe North is to
go to the South, and If school masters and
school mistresses are to go among them
and teach their schools, and If there is to be
a hearty circulation Of national feeling
among them, you have got to prepare the
way for 1t by the establishment ofa cordial
state Of feeling between the people of the
South and the people ofthe North" It's a
pity the Republican party can not be
brought to recognize this as fact.

Fatal Accident at BuffaIO-Death
HaJ OF Cent, A. R. RramlkIfm. .s.1

On Monday morning telegram was re-
ceived from Buffalo, New FORK, announcing
the sad news of the sudden death of Capt.
A, R, Franklin, a citizen of our county, who
was on his way to the New York marketwith
hogs. The following are the particulars so
far as we could learn: Capt. Franklin left
London on Friday last with several cars
of hogs, and on arriving at Buffalo at mid
night on Saturday night be was aroused
from sleep in the caboOse and requested to
climb on to the cars containing his stock, as
the train, would then be separated. Mr..
Franklin did as he was requested, but the
cars making backward movement threw
him down on the track and the wheels
passed over one Of his legs, breaking his
knee cap and tearing the flesh from his leg
and foot. He was taken to house nearby
and physician called In who decided that
amputation was necessary, but the delay
was SO great before the operation was per-
formed, and he was so much pr0strated by
the loss Of blood, that he died the same

RecognIrInK AM Important Fact.

Ever and anon, Republican editors as
sure their readers that the Democratic par
ty is not only pulseless, but absolutely SO
dead that4it is questionable whether Ga
BR1EI's trumpet has sufficient capacity to
resurrectit. The Boston Journal, although
Radical, has the coOlness to recognize the
important fact, ''now that the smoke ofthe
recent election battles is over, that there
has been no great ch ngei in the strength Of
parties at the Month for the last six or sew
en- years." that "there is the Republican
party on one side, and there is the Demo-
cratic party on the other-neither. having
died out according to frequent predic-
tions, nor been set aside by any over.

has the candor to say that ''this view Of the
matter may not be very exhilerating to
Republicans Of ardent temperament"

Sad Accident-A workman Falls

A terrible accident took place at st. Ma

Young man, twenty -four years OF age, BY
the name of Michael Neylan, while work.
ing in the spire of the church at q dis
tance of seventy feet from the ground, lost
his footing and was precipitated to the
floor below. The unfortunate man struck
up on his head and was killed instantly. 1t

Staging near the center of the steeple,

and he fell distance Of ten feet and struck
A two-inch board which broke with his

The mans fall would have ibeen

staging was forty feet, and here he
struck upon another board which tip
ped up and allowed him to fall the whole
distance. he was probably Killed be-
fore he reached the ground, as
he never breathed or moved. He was
quiet, Industrious young man, OF most
exemplary habits. He was carpenter by
trade, and resided with his parents at the
corner Of Twelfth and Washingtoa streets.
Two weeks ago he took out policy from
Kniest q Williams, agents for the Chicago
Accident Insurapce Company, for $1,000,
the amount of his premium for the same
being only nine dollars. This money, as
soon as the proper certificates of his death
are forwarded, win be promptly handed
over to his parents, and illustrates fully the
benefits to be derived from accident or life
insurance. It is certainly a sad affair, and
happened in singular manner. The apert-
ure through which he fell was only three
feet six inches wide. and he broke three
