The stock market was in a state
bordering on panic all yesterday, and
Erie suffered q further decline 3S(,
while other stocks began to show the
effect of the decentralization which is
rapidly spreading among the bull
ranks. The fact Is that prices are so
far above the range ofreal values that
they are liable to heavy fall In any
event, but just now they have to CON
tend with very severe monetary
stringency, which, in the opinion %
bank officers, is more likely to in
crease than to diminish during the
next few days at least. The panic in
Erie continues, however, to be the alb
sorbing feature of the market, and
the President of the Erie Company
officially informed committee ofthe
Stock Exchange yesterday that five
millions of new stock have just been
issued, and that five million more are
liable to be issued at any time In ex-
change for convertible bonds, while
in the event ofthe proposed third rail
being laid three mill ons Of dollars
will have to be raised by the issue of
convertible bonds and stock. He
also volunteered the information that
1t will require the most strenuous eff
forts of the management to keep the
road out of the hands of receiver
when its acccptances mature on the
LIST of January next. Here, then, in
this (lcplOrable condition of the COM
pany's finances we find the raaleause
of the further decline In its STOCK to q
lower point than it has touched for n We
orsix years. How low the panic which
Is sweeping it downward will carry
1t, Is as uncertain as every
thing else in Wall street; bat there
has seldom been witnessed on, the
Stock Exchange so much real alarm
in consequence of the critical state of
affairs is now visible on all sides. We
have often cautioned the public to
avoid buying the stocks which are
now tumbling about the ears of their
owners, and that the warning was
not uncalled for is very evident.
Our national securities are an ex-
ception 10 the rule, however, these be-
ing relatively cheaper than any 9TH
ers in the country, and the disburse-
ment of the November interest on
the public debt cannot fail to stimu-
late the demand for Investment
However much, therefore; the specu-
lative stocks may decline, there Is no
good reason why these should not re-
main firm. The further decline In
gold to 1881 has temporarily depressed
them somewhat; but with the cleo
ton of Gen. Grant they will doubt
less resume their upward tendency
The banks are averse to encroaching
upon the reserve for the purpose OF re-
lieving the prevailing stringency,
owing to the fear OF run upon their
deposits in consequence, and the strin-
gency In the Western money markets,
as well as the prospective demand for
currency to move thep pork and cotton
crops, admonishes them to be more
than usually cautious in the course
they pursue. Meanwhile Erie leads
the downward movement in stocks,
and Wall street trembles for the NOR
row, not knowing what day may
bring forth.

one Northern man. StilI we were
more mortified than surprised on
reading the charges contained in the
communication under consideration
Candor compels US, however, to say
that a doubt is thrown upon their
truth by the fact that the accused,
with all the composure of conscious
innocence, returns to the people whom
he is charged with having SO recent
ly and groundlessly reviled. II self
be the proper standard for measuring
the motives and actions of Others,
we would, after doing what Mr.. PEI
fer Is said TO have done, have sought
to place unreasonable space between
eurseff and the people we had gone
abroad to traducc, sooner than show
our face again in that belied and SLAM
dered section.
1t Is difficult, however, to erect q
reliable standard by which to meas
ure mems integrity, now-a-d days,
though ~ a general rule, northern
adventures may be definitely and
uncrringly located, politically and
morally, by showing them on which
side of the bread the butter is. But
as we had hoped better things of Mr..
PETER, we will withhold any definite
expression of opinion, until we see his
refutation in the columns of the pa
per from Which we copy the charges.
His being here now is presumptive
evidence that he can prove an alibi,
or pick serious flaw in the indict-
mcnt.

NASHVILLE SYNoD.-We find the
following among the minutes of the
Presbyterian Synod lately held at
Nashville:
The Committee on Stewart College
made report which contained the
reports of the Board of Trustees of
that college, which showed the col
lege In great Embarrassment, and that
unless Synod Immediately took steps
to relieve the college II would pass out
of the control Of Synod. The final
action of Synod was, that the amount
OF money necessary to repair build
ings, etc., was assessed on the Pres
byteries, and that the sum necessary
must be paid by the LIST of January,
or the Synod would relinquish all con-
troll of the college property.

AS we looked at the crowd, on
Tuesday, in and around the Court
house--a crowd as black as midnight
and as ignorant as idiocy made
drunk--we could but wish that every
statesman and philanthropist in
christendom could look upon 1t, press
ing eagerly forward to exercise a
privilege of the value Of which they
know ns little as aI owl does of as
tronomy. And whilst the prosperity
of the nation-the influence is not To-
cal-dcpends upon the ballot, in the
hands of virtue and intelligence, it
was humiliating and shocking to see
the aggregated ignorance of the
country formed in solid mass around
the sacred palladium of liberty from
which wisdom and experience arc
excluded. The whites who made the
government, and for whom, alone,
the government was made, are deem
cd unworthy of voice in its admin
istration, which madness and villainy
have confidcd to the descendants OF
Hottentots and to the few whites
more degraded than the Hottento's
in their native jungles.
In this degrading spectacle, the
brutal Radical sees the solid basis OF
the despotism he is striving to erect,
and the patriot hears in it the DEATH
knell of free institutions and realizes
a rapid retrogression to the dark ages
when the power of the sword sup
pressed every impulse that lifted man.
kind upward in the search for knowl-
edge, liberty and happiness. But he
who appeals to an idiot or mercenary
knave in behalf of truth and Justice,
scatters his pearls before greater
brutes than swine. The former can
be influenced only by the cravings of
hunger-the latter, by the glittering
steel of the oppressed, goaded to the
desperate resolve of elderly or
DEATH" This war cry will yet be
heard in the land unless the people
secure their rights and rebuild their
government while they may yet do
it through peaceful agicnccs.

10 GooDLoE AND 1ScATTERING.--Among the
humors of the late election, a most amusing
one is the show made by the GQodlOe ticket
in the official returns received thus far. We
stated some time ago, when exposing the an,
linus Of an, Associated press dispatch, that
the attempt of Mr.. Goodloe and his three or
four satellites to create division in the Re-
publican ranks, was a complete failure. We
predicted then that Mr.. Goodloe would not;
get one vote to each county in the State, which
prediction has been verified" Despite the
aid Of Helper and Hedrick, who controlled
some federal patronage, their proved such a
complete abortion that we find it classed in
the returns with the scattering" 'E'''
OF The official returns of thirty-two counties
before us give "Goodloe and Scattering"
fifteen votes. How many of these were for
q Goodloe and how many for Scattering :"
does not appear, but, it is fair to presume
that Scattering being less known, received
the, majority. . Alas for the Washington
delegation. There is yet one chance left for
them Lei, them. come out in their true
acolors and their labors may be rewarded by
