The reports of the great Wall street turmoil
Of Friday seem to doubt whether those who
lost in the attempt to force gold to an extrava-
gantly artificial figure will pay their losses,
and, indeed, discuss the point quite asif it were
a matter Of taste rather than of honesty. II
this view of the case is correct, Wall street
must be given quite a new position in the scale
of roguery. Hitherto gambling and pocket
picking have been the favorite comparisons for
these transactions, but both the gambler and
the pickpOcket have some sort of risk in every
case. But if Wall street may corner gold to
plumber a whole community while its game
lasts and if its game wins, and yet to lose
nothing if its game fails, where is the risk in
that2 Here the roguery is down to
the standard OF the Chatham street dealer
in plated ware, who never intends to lose.
Unless the legitimate result of all these bar
gains of Friday are insisted upon to the utmost
fgure-to payment on the part Of those who
can pay and to the complete ruling out from
all future transactions of those who cannot
pay-then there is no safety from such storm
to be counted upon. If it costs nothing to get
this game up--if there is no sort ofperil in it
we may be sure it will be gotten up as often
as any knot of finanoiers believe that circum-
stances favor their game against others; and
every time it is gotten up it must do great
harm

City Poiitics-The state Of Parties.

fhe campaign, opened by the Democratic
last week, promises to be most exciting one.
The republicans, in their separate and factious
organizations, have at the eleventh hour come
together and agreed to stop the hari-kari that
was destroying the best men of the party.
new organization has been formed out of the
diyecto membr0, and such an application of
galvanism has been applied to resuscitate the
old organs Of the party that even Horace
Greeley has abandoned the Chinese language,
which he was lately studying to qualify him
self for the Chinese mission, and intends to
how himself in Syracuse on Wednesday next
as republican delegate. The Democratic
Union party has also got new lease of life, not
withstanding that Roosevelt, Waterbury and
Savage strove to scuttle the ship, and left it in
very perilous condition. The Mozarters,
too, are in the field, their man Ben looking
about, like Wilkins Micawber, for something
to turn up. He has made his account before
now by striking Tammany in vulnerable
point, and he will do it again. The chances
are all in his favor in one or two openings
that he wots of. On the whole the political
horoscope is not at the present time favorable
to make prognostics by, and the candidates
for office who made their calculations month
or two ago had better read the stars anew
and try fresh course of divination before
they embark on the treacherous sea of politics
as previously spread before them. The result
of the Republican Convention, with the
chances of an amalgamation or coalition of
the Mozarters and republicans
is exercising Tammany badly, and threatens
to despoil her Of some Of the spoils she had
confidently calculated on as the just prize Of a
victorious party.

not serious An Ecumenicai Council is
mockery II IL does not represent the churches
of the whole world. A. General Council Of
the Catholic Church is nothing if it does not
represent the entire Catholic Church and
reflect the sentiment Of the same An Ecu
menical Council has been long known to be an
impossbility. A General Council of the
Catholic Church, believed to be possible, was
looked forward to by one class with fear, by
another class with hope; but a General
Council of the Catholic Church is now,
to all appearance, as much an impossibility
az an Ecumenical Council. The Catholic
Church seems to be as little unit as is the
Christian world. The course taken by large
portion of the Catholics Of Germany by many
in the United States, and particularly by
Father Hyacinthe, of Ndtre Dame, makes it
abundantly plain to all the world that the
Ecumenical Council may prove more curse
than blessing to the Catholic Church.
Altogether the situation of Europe is pecu-
liar, and for months to come it will largely
claim our attention. We may not have much
war; but we shall not lack excitement We
promise to watch and note progress.

QUEEN IsABELLA-TOo LATR.-The exiled
Queen Of Spain is reported as having recently
said that ''the crown is burden to me, and
would willingly rid myself of it forever and
retire into private life" 1--WE have heard Of
similar observations from other parties); but
that her dignity as Queen will not allow it
(she is Bourbon, who learns nothing and
forgets nothing), and that ''once more on the
throne that is mine, then and there, with the
revolution PROSTATE at my feet, will place
the crown on my sons head" very
natural wish this, in her case; but like the
proposition in behalf of the young Count of
Paris, when Louis Philippe was on his way to
England in his pea jacket, sit is too late. )"
Spain still wants party to Gil her throne, but
1t is not Queen Isabella, and will not be while
Serrano is at the head of the State and Prim
is master of the army.

THE Hon. BEN BUTLER ON AaRiCULTURE.-
The Hon. Ben Butler, though not Of the cali
bre of Grant or the Duke of Marlborough as a
warrior, seems to be at home in almost any
field of labor in the arts and ways
of peace. 1t was only the other day
as lawyer he dissected Mrs. Beecher
Stoves Byron rigmarole so completely as
to leave her high and dry on the beach /;
and now his admirable address on agriculture
at Worcester, Mass, has gone forth to the
farmers Of the country for their enlightenment.
Greeley, in theory, however, is splendid
farmer, while in practice, if we are not mis-
taken, his turnips cost him about two dollars
a piece Perhaps It may DO 80 with Butler
There is wide margin between theory and
practice, from the art Of war to the art of rails
ing turnips.

The American Jockey Club.

The fall meeting of the American Jockey
Club will take place early next month. The
entries for tho purses are very numerous, COM
prising about one hundred and forty horses.
This great number of racers should suffice to
make most interesting meeting, and will
afford an ample opportunity for capital run
ming The fields will be 30 very full that it
will be next to impossible to distinguish the
different horses, with colors and costumes so
much alike, that previous acquaintance with
them is absolutely necessary on the part OF the
spectators. This has been the case to such an
extent heretofore that some measure should be
taken to obviate the difficulty. With this
view we would suggest to the managers that
every horse engaged in race should be
brought up before the grand stand and his
name and colors announced to the public
before he starts, and that to mounted
herald be assigned this duty and also that
of coming before the spectators at the ter
mination of the race and announcing the
names of the horses that have won place.
This will make the race Ineligible to the
to purchase or procure programmes of
names of the horses and colors of the riders. ="
Bills of the days sport should also be obtain
able gratis at the entrance gates, in the same
way that they are obtainable at theatres and
other places of enjoyment. Another sugges-
ton we would also make, and that is to have a
competent patrol judge stationed near the half
mile pole, so that should there be any attempt
at foul riding during the race it may be imme-
diately checked and the proper remedy applied
afterwards. as that point of the track ia outside
the observation of the judges in the stand. We
ourselves have seen some sharp practice just
about that spot, and which would not have
taken place had the eye of patrol judge been
upon the jockeys. Little as these improve
ments will cost, they will prove of great value
to the public II adopted by the American
Jockey Club, who, we hope, will take the sub
ect into consideration before the time for the
coming meeting shall have arrived.

No problem of the day has more perplexing
sides to it than that of the duty of society
toward the insane. Within few days the
community has been Mortified by the act of a
maniac mother. She had been insane for
fifteen years, and in all that time apparently
had never been placed under any physical
restraint, yet had never done violence to any
one. The facts seemed to prove that it was
quite safe to leave her at large; but just as
this is to ordinary perception demonstrated
she splits open the head of her own child with
an axe Clearly she ought to have been in
confinement; for the life of the child was worth
more than the freedom of the woman. But
within q short time past the attempt has
been made to incarcerate several per-
sons clearly insane, and it has been
found impossible to detain them when,
by counsel, they demanded their freedom
of the courts; for the evidences of insanity
are not always in the demonstrable realm Of
fact, and therefore will not stand before the
judges and juries. Had the attempt been
made to imprison the woman who committed
this maniac crime one month before the crime
she could have been set at liberty on the very
arguments that are used in all similar cases. At
the same time there is no doubt much abuse in
the uses made of insane asylums in cases
where property is in dispute. AS these cases
can be so befogged by medical and legal
niceties in wirespun argument 1t seems
impossible to lay down any definite point of
departure-any rule that may not seem
ridiculously nsuf1cient-in one case or out
rageously tyrannical in another. The pro-
position to kill everybody that is insane
has just been made in England, and has the
recommendation of being sufficiently startling
But it does not relieve us of the greatest diff
6culty. We know very well already what to
do with the insane the puzzle is to find
definition of insanity that the courts can insist
upon and that society will be safe in adhering
to. Who are the insane? That is the ques-
ton, and the one that must become even more
imperative if we propose TO take life than II
we only take liberty; since II the lawyers
should come forward and prove to the salts
faction of the courts that the lunatic who had
been killed was as sane a. any man the killers
might likely stand accused Of rider.

The HERALD in NEW JERSEY.
From the Newark Press, Sept. 26.i

Az an example of what Independent Journalism
can accomplish we have but to refer to the proud
position occupied at present by the NEW YORK
HERALD. The proprietor OF 1t, Mr.. Bennett came TO
the country from Scotland nearly half century ago.
and having good European experience knew that
a fearlessy Independent journal would be boon 10
the whole American people. He met with much
opposition OF discouraging nature, Dattled away

and the result Ia to day made manifest by the issue

commissions them. George II. Bassett, the special
correspondent OF the Southern Chronicle, in writing
from New York some time since, speaks Of Mr.. Ben
nett's enterprise as follows:-
New York has one thoroughly Independent daily
newspaper, and that Is the HERALD II makes no At

Tho Enormous Extent OF Wall Stree
Gambling.

Tho Enormous Extent OF Wall street
Gambling.
1t Is stated that the transactions Of the gold
gamblers during the cornering process and
excitement amounted on Friday-one day
only-to FIVE hundred millions. Certainly
they were 30 large that the clearing depart
ment of the New York Gold Exchange could
not by any means got through the herculean
labor of adjusting the accounts. The unso-
phisticated or plain country people who know
nothing of Wall street operations might open
their eyes with establishment at this vast sum,
and wonder where 50 much gold came from.
Five hundred millions Of gold bought and sold
in one day! 1t Is enough to astonish any one not
acquainted with the bogus transactions Of the
gold gamblers Five hundred millions of gold
bought and sold when there is only fourteen
millions In all the banks and brokers' Offices
In the oity Think Of that Probably not
five millions Of gold-that is, one per cent of
the ransactions-were ever used or on hand
to meet the contracts. Yet it is these bogus
transactions on paper or by word Of mouth
among few gamblers that regulate the price
OF gold and the values of stocks and other pro-
psrty. Was there ever anything before so
absurd2 It would be just as reasonable
to make betting on q faro bank a regu-
lator of national values and finances as
this betting on gold, for 1t amounts to that and
nothing more. Mr.. Secretary Boutwell, fortu-
nately and wisely came to the rescue of the
business community and overthrew the con-
spirators; but what security has the public for
the flturep
1t is not fairly within the sphere of the
Treasury Department to watch spectators or
to control the markets, though in such an
exceptional case as this the action of the Sec
rotary was right, and a great benefit to the
community. 1t remains to be seen what Con-
gress can do to prevent such evils, either by
heavily taxing gold sales or by compelling
the actual transfer of the precious metal to
make sales legal. The mischief is over for
the present, but there is no security for the
future under present laws, and with our pres
ent MIXED and homogeneous currency. Some
change and additional legislation is necessary,
and it Is to be hoped Congress will take the
subject up as soon as il reassembles.
