355 TO 400 feet radius. The impression was
very general that the iron monster would
either break down the road or would leave

THE LATEST WALL STREET RoBBERY.-The
denizens of Wall street are so intent upon &C
cumulating wealth that they seem to neglect
the most ordinary precautions for securing the
treasures which they daily rake in. Another
Instance of their carelessness is afforded by the
daring robbery on Friday, at monday, Of ten
thousand dollars worth of bonds by stranger
who was permitted to examine Directory
lying on the desk in which the bonds were
placedin q grocer's Office in Wall street. This
case was fully reported in our columns on
Saturday, although 1t had not been reported
ut Police Headquarters at late hour on the
previous evening. The Wall street men have
the credit Of getting all they can; but will
they never learn to keep what they get?

THE MIDDLE ABOUT THE FINANCES. -wells,
Atkinson, Delmar, Washburne, and the
stump orators and press of both political
parties have so muddled the subject of our
national finances that they have made confu-
sion worse COMPOUNDED. The whole matter is
plain enough and can be summed up in few
words. The income from revenue is falling off
and likely to fall off more, from the disorgani-
cation Of the executive departments Of the
government, from the stupendous frauds and
from the reduction of taxes on manufactures
The expenditures continue to be enormous, es-
pecially in the War Department, and are ex-
ceeding the income. Mr.. McCulloch's large
money reserve is rapidly wasting away and
there is likely to be an empty Treasury before
the end of many months. These are the gene
raj facts, and all the talk and long-winded arti-
cles published about our financial condition
amount to nothing.

Republican Congressional Nominations-A
Negro Candidate In the Second District.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct L. 1858.
The republicans have renominated J. II. sypher
for Congress from the First district. They have
also nominated L. A. Sheldon for Congress for the
full term from the Second district and j. Wells Me-
nard for Colonel Mann's unexpired term. Mr.
Menard rs a c0l0red man. He announced himself
az q candidate for the nomination In q circular
from which the following Ia an extract:-
The time has fully come to test the professions and
principles OF those who now control the republican
party Of Louisiana, and IL is sacred duty to them

WILL SOME ONE RESIGN ?-The Erpress, the
Sun and several other journals are anxious
that some one should resign. One calls upon
Seymour, another upon Grant, to commit poll
tical hari-kari, and each gives cogent reasons
for the sacrifice But we, on the contrary, advise
both of these distinguished persons to hold on.
Grant, indeed, scarcely needs to be advised,
tnasmuch as he is proverbially in the habit of
holding on. Tenacity is one of his main
characteristics, as his war record fully shows.
But Seymour must be encouraged. Even in
his boyhood, when his comrades used daily to
push him off the end of the bench, he used lisp
angly to complain that he couldn't ''sthick on. !"
AT the Convention he had such infinite trouble
70 get the nomination that we adjure him, now
That he has got it, to hold on to it to the last.
His holding on may keep the democratic party
straight and lay good solid granite founda-
ton for future action. Neither Seymour nor
Grant should resign.

Mr.. George H. Purser threatened the removal
a fat job Of all the stoops on both sides of
Fifth avenue as unlawful encroachments upon
Shat public highway. How is 1t, then, that we

WHAT ANswERs BY Anna K. Dickinson. Boston:
Tcknor & Fields. 1858.
1t Is perhaps the occult working Of retrlbutivs
Justice that drives such intellectual phenomena -
Henry Ward Beecher and Anna Dickinson to write
novels. They have o great bubble OF reputation ~
persons Of startling genius In virtue Of the praise Il
deluded admirers; and though they would like
apparently to live that reputation yet they fall In
to the folly Of bringing their abilities to simple
test and put pinholes In the bubble OF their fame
by attempting to do things that some commonplace
people do tOlerably well. Falling In this attempe
they prove their intellectual range to be not very
Annals novel amounts to this:-There was young
man Of great wealth. social position, beauty, geniuA
and who was sound on the ever asting Samb0 queaL
ton. He believed that the degraded position OF the
negro In the world was not due to his inferority or
the result simply Of prejudice" It will be seen
that this young man was just exactly a. rational as
Then there was yoang sna
and who wrote for her school composition thesis on
"Savery.n This fair creature was Of dusky lineage
the daughter OF mulatto. But that did not appear
among her acquaintance. and the young man was
desperately In love with her without suspicion OF
adulterated blood. In other words, Miss dickinson,
for the sake OF fancy commits herself to the falsiy
that two generations are sufficient to eradicate az
trace OF African descent. Naturally the girls de-
jected to his taking q wife from that race Of the
many in our midst that has the largest share OF bad
qualities and the smallest share OF good ones. Never
theess the young man marries her In his height OF
love and moral heroism, and then is killed by tho
mob In the July riots

ness Above all, startling as It looks at first

that passion recks not the outrage OF any con-

Dumas in the "Dame aux Camelias." Put woman,
