THE ROUT OF THE GOLD GAMBLERS.

| For the ruin wrought among the immediate
actors in the Wall-st. mob yesterday we have
no regrets. They took the risks with their
eyes open, and must accept the results. A.
chooses to bet that Gold will be lower to-
morrow, and sells short. b. chooses to bet
that it will be higher, and buys on ridi-
culous margin, which an hours fuctu-
ations may swallow. c. and ID. choose to
combine to attempt controlling all the Gold in
the market, to prevent A. from procuring the
means to fulfill his short contract, except at ex-
travagant rates to go into their pockets. We
regard the contest with serene composure, and
see no cause for regretting anything in the mat
ter save that A., B., c., and ID. cannot all i'm
partially and inevitably lose by the same Oper-
alton.
Neither can we longer deplore the danger to
business interests. The conspiracy to force up
the price of Gold has broken down in the very
midst of its alarming success. We said yester-
day that ten days ago Gold sold at 1876, and
ten days hence it was almost certain to be
back again to 1885, The words came true even
sooner than we thought. Gold rose yesterday
to 161, and fell within an hour to 1873, closing
in the neighbOrhood of 1874, and seeming very
likely to sink gradually still lower. For few
days business has been interrupted, values
have been unsettled, widespread distress has
been wrought; but now regular transactions
are likely to be speedily resumed, and at any
rate the worst has passed.
What we mostly regret in the record of yes
terday's wild dOiDgs is that the cOnspratoIs
were suffered to escape without paying tribute
to the Country whose credit they have been
assailing, and whose business they have SO
wantonly disturbed. We thank Secretary
Boutwell, for his interference; but we could
have wished that the Government as well as
the Wall-street bears had profted by it,
1t was effective; it only needed to have come
