The New York correspondent ofthe Phila-
delphia Ledger writes on Thursday - Wall
street had another slight attack Of the blues
this afternoon, on reports that another formi,
dable combination Of the bears was forming
with view to re-creating an artificial stringen-
cy In money and reviving panic in stocks.
Under these reports, the market for the lead

q marked decline. Another rumor looking in
the same direction is, that the lent sudden
rise In the Vanderbilt shares was not -nglneer-

for commencing the campaign is not definitely
fixed; but the story Is that wien the West and
South begin to increase their demands for cur
rency, the consplrators viii go to work. They
boast Of their ability 10 lock up slG,0OO,0oO at
the start. How all this may be 1t Is impos-

to put many Of the old heads of the street on
their guard After what has transpired in
Wall street within the past few weeks, the
public may as well make up Its mind that
there is nothing too interruptions and nothing
too reckless for the professional money gam
blers there to undertake"

al important fact that there Is corruption at
headquarters. Whether General Grant knew
or not what was going on between bis wife
and that arch-sconndrel, Mr.. Corbin, 1t can no
longer be denied that members of his family
