TIL E, Cost of Uncertainty;

We commend the following article from
the New ork Post to every Republican
who feels himself travelling Pcndleion-
ward. 1t ought to prove complete anti
dote
The average fate Of interest at which
perfectly solvent borrower can obtain mon.
cy in Europe, for term Of years, is about
four per cent,
1t is true that the rate of interest is now
quoted at u much lower rate, and often at
a higher one, but these quotations repre-
sent the rate of discount for sixty days' and
four months bills, and do not represent the
rate 0f interest at which capital can BE-
borr0 " ed for long term of years.
In England the rate Of interest at whiah
money can ne borrowed on mortgage for iL-
dustral purposes is seldom less than Eve
per cent but as we have said. an undoubt-
cd government bond bearing interest at
four per cent. per annum will Bring par in
England, ii not in Germany.
We may therefore say that whatever We
pay for loans above 4 per cent, per annum
is not interest but II guaranty or insurance
charged by the lenders to protect them
selves against the risk Of the loss OF the
whole or part Of their capital.
Ncithe, the bankers OF Frankfort nor
those oi London have any doubt of the abili-
ty of the United States to pay their debt;
or to meet their annual interest and vet
the bonds of the United States sell at 73 in
Iiondou; this quotation being made in gold
ot q higher standard than our coin. the true
quotation in dollars is II little under 80.
That is to say, I'M English banker will give
gold en- ugh to make less than 50 American
dollars for the promise OF the United States
to pay him 100 American dollars at future
date. and in the meantimc to pay him dol.
lars year interest.
Six per cent. on 100 is equal to 7 l-2 pei
cent. on 50, The Engishman and the Ger,
man are therefore willing to lend us money
at the rate of - per cent. il our credit
was uudoubted.
We therefore pay per cent. per annun
interest and 3 l.: per cent. per annum guar.
anty.
Why do we pay tllis guaranty
How much does it cost
Who pays it,
If il be true that no sane man doubts N,
ability of the United States to meet theiI
promise, then the doulit must he NJ to ouI
will lu other words. the Englishlnad and
the German suspect We will chtut them.
How much does it cost ,..,
Our interest bearing debt is over S2 ,G00
600, 900; our interest in gold is over $780,
600 0J0 per annum. Yet II need nui bs
over $SO,OW,0OO.. except for the suspicion

The Reign Of Autumn.

By ALICE GARY.
The rust Is over the red Of the clover,
The green Is under the gay,
And down the hollow the hcet-winged swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses,
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow the steei-winged swallow
Flying the way o. the sun.
IN place of summer a dread newcomer
His solemn state renews;
crims sOn splenuor instead of the tend
Daisy, and the larlng dews.
But oh the sweetness, the full compile teness.
Tint uudcr his reign are born
Russet and yellow in apples mellow,
And wheat and uillle. and corn.
His frosts so hoary touch with glory
Maple and oak and thorn;
And rising and falling his winds are calling,
Like hunter through his horn.
No thrifty sower, but just mower
That comes wnen the day Is done,
with warmth a-beaming and gold a-gleaming,
Like sunset alter the sun.
Aud while fair weather and frost together
Color the woods SO gay,
We must remember that'chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say, as we gather tho house together,
And pile the logs on the hearth,
Halp is to follow the liz It little swallow,
Fen 10 the ends ot tho earth.

him as the Ishmael of the Republican party.
It is claimed by Butler that he is the regu-

Neoo York., October 5.-The greatest mass
meeting ever held in New York took place
this evening in Tammany Hall and in Four
teenth street and Union Square.
The Democratic torchlight procession,
now in progress, has in its ranks, according
to the estimate of on experienced police
captain, over 10000 persons.
After junction had been effected with
the delegations from adjoining counties, the
length of tho procession exceeded ten miles
Every ward was largely represented, and
the banners and transparencies were nu-
merous. Several bands accompanied each
delegation, playing the Star-spangled
Banner and other national airs.
The scene in Union Square was grand.
The main stand represented the temple OF
liberty, and was brilliantly Illuminated by
strings of lights stretched to Tammany Hall
and the streets in the vicinity seemed lite
rally on fire with calcium lights, rockets,
fire paintings, and fire balloons.
The main stand, facing Broadway, was the
centre of attraction outside of Tammany
Hall, although there were six other stands
at which speeches were made to the i'm
mense throng, roughly estimated at half q
million men, women, and children. The
crowd stretched completely down Broad,
way to Eleventh street, and even as far as
Spring street the thoroughfare was well
filled, while scores Of the cross-streets were
alive with citizens.
The meeting at Tammany Hall was
held in the spacious room in which the
Democratic Convention conducted it's de-
alterations, and it WAS filled to repletion
the front seats being occupied by ladies
The hall was splendidly decorated.
General Badly Smith presided, and SAID
that, speaking as representative of hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers who had
risked their lives in the war, he declared il
to be his opinion that the results of the wal
would be lost unless there was an entire
change in the policy of the Government.
Mr.. Sanford E.. Church was the next
speaker, and argued that the centralizing
policy of the Radicals, unless checked would
result in depriving States such as New
York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania Of their pre-
ponderance in affairs Of government which
properly belonged to them in consideration
Of their numbers, resources, andthe amount
contributed by them to the support OF the
Government.
An address was also delivered by a.
Oakley Hall, district attorney and letter
from General Mcclellan was read, his en-
phatic endorsement Of the Democratic can
didates being received with enthusiastic
demonstrations of applause.
