Party Of Reputation.

That the Democratic party is rapidly tend
ing toward open and avowed repudiation is
too evident to admit of denial. Mr.. Pondle-
ton, Of Ohio, and Mr. Packer, Of Pennsyl-
yania, both candidates for Governor of their
respective States, have it on their banners.
and it is heralded from every hustings The
infamy Of the principle is equaled only by
the shamelessness with which it is avowod.
The people know how our national debt
was contracted, and what momentous eud it
was to serve. They have not forgotten how
in the dark days of the rebellion, when trea-
son ruled the hour and loyal mems hearts
failed them, leading Democrats of the copper
head stripe openly and boldly proclaimed that
the rebellion could not be put down by force
of arms, and that the obligations Of the gov
eminent incurred for such a purpose ,ooo,ld
neUer be redeemed Under circumstances
like these, nothing but the Grmest faith in the
power and integrity of the nation induced the
loyal men and women of the land to pour the
ayails Of their honest toll into the national
taeaaury and thus rescue the government in
its death-grapplo with rebellion. The result
OF that faith in the plightod honor Of the ma
ton gave us strength to gain all the indie.
scribably precious blessings that now pladder
our broad land with peace affords us the pro
lection of more eiIectually indicated an,
settled government than ever before, an,
opens wide door to boundless prosperity ant
growth in the future. With all these sacro
obligations resting upon us, and with all gu
ample, and rapidly increasing resources, t
meet them, what deeper disgrace, what darke
stain of dishonesty, could stigmatze our na
tional reputation than to remtdiate them i
the face of that fearful judgment which a
: the nations of the earth would pronounc
against us? The people Of these Unite
States will aeoer so tarnish our revolutionar

The Gola.Gamhler.a CarnI,nl.


Last week witnessed a scene 10 New York
such as was never seen before and for the
credit Of the actors and the safety Of the coun-
try we hope may never occur again. II was
a raid Of gamblers upon the market to raise
the price Of gold-a scheme concoctod with
all the secrecy Of consprators. and carried
out with reckless daring that seems almost
incredible. It began in combination 20 put
mp the price Of gold This was purely a mat.
ter Of speculation. There was 100 want OF
gold. The supply was ample for ol the le-
gitimatc wants Of business The demand was
therefore purely artificial and speculative
the act Of a few reckless operators, who by
buying up all the gold floating in the market
created an unnatural demand This sudden
call produced panic, ia which, to save them.
selves, men paid ruinous rates, and submitted
to any degree Of cxtortiou The culmina.
ton came on Friday, when, in the course Of
few hours, the price of gold which had
stood for the last few months at about l33
was suddenly sent mp TO 40, 1l5, $780, 1860.
and 1865
So far the desperate game had worked to a
charm. But it was suddenly checked, and
many Of the principal operators brought to
grief by foreign capitalists offering 10 sell
large amounts at the inflated prices, aad by
the action Of Secretary Boutwell, in throwing
four millions Of government gold upon the
market
The result may be imagined. Never was
such scene Of confusion The Spectators
who had bought eagerly and at high prices.
in their cagernes, to force gold up to the mt
most point, were caught in their own net.
while contracting for millions at 1850, when
the same could be bought for 1876. The con-
sequence is that Wall street is s.rcwn with
wrecks. Hundreds have been ruined, and
will have TO toll for years to recover from the
destruction wrought by the fcnzicd madness
of day.
Secretary Boutwell, is deserving Of the
thanks Of the country for the course he pur-
sued, in driving this iniquitous gold ring to
their kennels. For years the business inter-
ests and general prosperity Of the land has
been forced to pay enormous tributes to the
lords Of Wall street. We might have RESUME
ed specie payments in less than ninety days
after the close Of the war, had it not been for
his cut-throat gang of Wall-sircet robbers,
who fatten on the misfortunes Of the Nation.
The country--and particularly the honest
masses who have had to add to the fortunes
# these Wall street princes by the sweat Of
heir brow-may well thank Secretary Bout
yell for his prompt and energetic conduct, as
lso for the aatteriug prospect that the orgies
{ this gold ring are at an end.

Halls Arctic Expedition.

On Sunday last the intrepid Arctic explor-
or, DIR. G. f. Hall, returned from his last
expedition successful in having found relies
of Sir John Franklin's party and proof as to
their sad end. The following dispatches give
some interesting detais:--
New BEDFORD, Sept. 26. 49, Mr.. Charles f.
Hall, the distinguished Arctic explorer. ar
rived at this port yesterday in the bark Gibbs.
from Ropulse Bay, August %. Mr. Hall
brings, as among the result of his five years
residence in the Arctic regions, the most in
terestng intelligence in regard to the death
OF Sir John Franklin and his companions, and
conclusive proof that none Of them reached
Montreal Island He saw the natives who
were the last to look upon Crozier and his
party, and brings with him the remains of a
young man who belonged to that Inflated
band Of explorers, with various relics of the
expedition, We had the pleasure of reading
report drawn up by Mr.. Hall and addressed
to his friend Mr.. Henry Grinnell of New
York, which will soon be given to the public
through the press. Mr. Hall is by no means
tired of exploration, and proposes next spring
to start anew and push his joumeyings TO the
North Pole. He regards his experience of
the last ten years as invaluable to him as A
preparation and aid in the future.
DIR. Hall has number Of articles belong.
ing to Sir John Franklin, including some
Spoons and a chronometer box. He was also
successful in finding the skeletons Of many
OF his crew, and the remainder Of several of
their boats. The skeletons and other relies
were found at King Williams Land. The
Cornelia brought an anchor found at the ex-
IRENE NORTH marked ." Il. s., seventeen sixty.
six supposed to have belonged to the FIRST
explorers. DIR. Hall found native. who
claims to know all about the party, who saws
the ship was stove, and the crew then took Ia
their boats and went ashore. When their
provisions were exhausted they died of star.
yatlon The ice and snow prevented DR..
Hall from making full explorations.
