The Panic in New Yorl,

George Francis Train address a
crowd at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Nv
York, on the 30th ult. Among other
plain things he uttered on the occasion,
we find the following:
Read my gold speech of four years
ago. Read my speech delivered two
years ago in the Stock Exchange. Did
l not foretcll plainly what was to come
TO pass! And so will do again. The
panic, repeat, is not yet begun. You
lay all the blame on the gold-gamblcrs.
What ignorance! The Government is
is the chief gambler. 1t is the Govern
ment, L say, which cries sinking fish on
1t own credit, by paying the soldiers
widows in greenbacks. and the foreign
ers, who supplied the bullets to shoot
those soldiers, in gold. You are selling
bitch-pups and stuffed and paper dogs
Tor gold pointers and grcyhounds. On
FRIDAY last you bought and sold $780,
0oo,0OO in gold. and there are not more
than Sl50O0OO0O in specie in the entire
country. Allow me to give to YOU q
brlef view of your financial condition
and prospects. In 1S60-6l, gold to the
amount of S500.000.OO0 was transferred
from this country TO the vaults Of Eng
lish bankers. Now. in arranging ex-
change, New Orleans draws on New
lork at sixty days. New York on Lon
don at sixty. which. counting twenty
five days more taken up in crossing the
ocean, gives 145 days before the cash
comes back into the hands of the Amer
lean, while it only takes forty-fve days
to go to London. sell, and yemits sothat
the English bankers have the clear use
of the money for 100 days.
Let Grant demand instant payment Of
the Alabama claims. or offer the alterna-
tlvc-war. Otherwise let him drive
out the British Minister, and tear down
the British Consulate. You will find
that it is as I tell you. This Wall street
panic came from London.

Observation-Disclosures.

The Nashville Press and Times, COM
menting upon the late election in this
State and the present condition of par
ties, with look at the future. says:
Nothing is more dangerous to par
ty than its own excess of strength. The
weakness Of the last Legislature con-
sisted in the fact that it had no OPPOSE
ton party to fight, and consequently if
it made war upon anything, its blows
fell upon members of its own house,
hold. The weakness of the Legislature
which is about to convene, may first be
manifested in what would at first sight
be considered its strength. A shrewd
observer of politics once remarked that
parties never were displaced from pow
er by the aggressons Of another parry !;
they always fell victims to their own
corruptions and dissentons. There is
sound practical wisdom in the remark,
and what has been true in the past may
be verified in the year of grace 1869.
No radical or revolutionary leaders ever
continue long at the head of faction.
for it seems to be the decree of fate that
the violent shall devour each other, and
that the incendiary head of party shall
be cut down by some follower who as
sumes greater ferocity than himself. to
tickle the cars of the mob. whose love
of sensations requires to be stimulated
continually by fresh excuses. The ex
cesscs of politics in this State for some
time past are full Of instruction and adj
montion to the incoming regime. In
medic tutissimus IBIS. 1t is the part of
gamblers and adventures to risk every
thing. but not OF statesmen. Theirs is
higher and nobler work. for it must
affect the interests of all classes and
conditions in private life, as well as the
strength. prosperity and honor of the
State. We express the wishes of a great
majority of the people in praying for a
moderate line of policy, free from the
excess of faction. and from all spirit of
revenge and retaliation. IN the approach.
ing session of the Legislature.
We heartily join with our Nashville
contemporary in its hope for moderation
and an absence of every thing like re-
venge and retaliation.

The Accident at Indianapolis.

A steam boiler exploded at the Fair
at indianapolis on the 1st instant, which
killed 81 persons and wounded Sc more.
One account after giving the details of
the accident. and the list Of killed and
wounded, adds the following:
The heart sckens and the brain reels
with the fearful tale of yesterdays hor-
ror. Four days of unexampled plea
sure and prosperity had attended the
State Fair. In the midst of the excite
ment and giddiness of the closing hours.

dread approach. death, in most horrid
shapes and with fantastic fortunes.
clasped its icy fingers around the whole
scene of joyous pleasure, enveloping it
with deep and damning pail. such as
has but seldom been drawn about even
the most doomed locality. In the dis
ordered brain of the poet we have been
used to such sickening phantasms as the
sudden arrest Of the rcvcl and the dance
by the unwelcome approach of disaster
and death; we have read with bated
breath and quivering lips of such scenes
as Avondalc, and yet have failed to feel
their fullest terror for lack of personal
apprehension, Yesterday the Pandora
box of evil opened for us, and in the
twinkling of an eye, an arena of plea
sure and mirth was metamorphosed in
to literal acres of death, of torture, and
of terror

Door-ISceper Dent.

A correspondent of the New York
Republic sends his paper the following
in regard to the Head Waiter at the
White House, Washington:
If it be questioned whether First
Lieutenant Brevet Brigadicr General
Frederick Thompson Dent, Doorkeeper
of the Reception Room at the White
House, is a waiter. let attention be in
vited to the definition of that mere me-

The Negro at Washington.

From the following it would seem
that the negro at the national capital is
disposed to be troublesome. He will
learn better after awhile, as all attempts
to enforce the doctrine of social equal
ity will only result to his injury:
An important case arose at the
Matt NAL Theater tonight under the
civil rights law and corporation ordi-
nance of theatrical audiences on account
of color. Three negro men made their
way into the dress circle of the Nation
al Theater, and when requested by the
propretors to go into the gallery set
apart for them, refused to do so, and
then, when offered their money back,
they refused to take that. They were
reasoned with that the white people
would all leave, but they still refused,
and were then elected from the build
ing. They intend to bring suit, and if
it is decided that the theater cannot
regulate its admissions it will be closed
by its owners.

The COlOred People.

There is formidable movement a.
mong the colored people Of Nashville
in favor Of emigration TO the Southwest
ern Territories. Several meetings have
been held, at the last of which the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we, the coored peo-
pie of Tennessee, appoint a committee
to wait on Congress, in Washington, as
sembled on the LIST of December next.
and let them know that there are 10000
colored people in the State of Tennessee
that want to move to the Southwestern
Territories, and would humbly ask that
honorable body to make an appropria-
ton to assist them in so doing.
Resolved, That said committee be in
structed to wait on the Hon. George
Peabody, and ask him to assist us. being
assured that he will undoubtedly do so.
The movement we regard most SEN
sible one, and if carried out in proper
spirit will no doubt result in great good
to the black :

The Legislature.

The Nashville papers speak in com.
mendable language of the general make
up Of both houses of the Legislature,
and predict conservative and healthy
session. The selection of presiding Of
ficcrs has been fortunate, both gentle
men having a reputation which gives
assurance ofan able and satisfactory dis
charge of their duties. The people en-
pect much of the present Legislature in
the way Of economy, retrenchment and
reform, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that they will not be disappointed.
AS soon as the Senatorial election is
disposed of, the members no doubt will
at once get down to the legitimate and
laborious work Of the session.

The City of Havana.

1t is stated that the City of Havana,
before the revolt of Yara, claimed 250.-
600 inhabitants. There are now, at the
very outside figure, no more than $4,000
people there. Thousands of Spanish
merchants and traders have fed to
Spain. Thousands of wealthy Cubans
have gone to New York. New Orleans,
Baltimore, Mexico and Europe, while
very many thousands of Cubans have
drifted into the interior to join the Gu
ban army. Not only have men gone,
but at least $1,000 ladies have also left
Havana for different towns of the in
terror. 1t is estimated that there are
now 10000 empty houses in the city.

The Immigration Agen t.

The German element at Knoxville OPP
pose the selection of Mr.. Staub. the
Swiss gentleman, now resident of that
city, as Commissioner of immigration
for Tennessee, and urge that one of their
own countrymen should be chosen as
likely to serve more efficiently the end
sought to be attained. We believe, as
was suggested last week, that the office
ought to be abolished. 1t has been in
existence several years, and all the good
done through its instrumentality is
hardly worth referring to. Wholesome
legislation-the repeal Of oppressive
laws, economy in Stlte affairs, reduc-
ton of taxation, and the consequent re-
storation Of peace and quiet throughout
our borders, will induce more immigra-
ton than all the efforts of dozen sala-
ried agents, no matter how earnestly and
honestly they may labor; and we have
no doubt if our friend, Father Bokum,
was here, he would, with his experience
in the business, coincide in the opinion
we have expressed. The immigration
that has to be bought, coaxed or per-
snaded will never pay hundred per
cent on the investment.

Virginia.

The Legislature meets in December.
Since the President, Gen. Sherman, Gen.
Candy and Attorney General Hoar have
expressed the opinion that U. S. SEN
ators can be elected, candidates are
multiplying. The last one mentioned
is Edgar Snowden, who has published
the Alexandria Gazette for over thirty
years. The best opinion seems to be
that owing to the contest for the Sem
atorship the Legislature will postpone
the election until after the State is fully
admitted.

The Convention of 1868.

The following occurs in the resolu-
tions adopted by the Conservative State
Convention held at Nashville June o,
1868:
"Andrew johnson in the discharge
the United States at period of trying
and unprecedented embarrassment, has
rendered his name illustrious by the fl
deity with which he has sought ito pre-
serve, protect and defend the constitu-
ton against the assaults of a revoln-
tionary faction, and in his recent signal
triumph in that behalf has earned the
gratitude Of the american people, AMI
RENDERED HIMSELF WORTHY OF THE
HIGHEST MARK OF CONFIDENCE THAT MAY
BE BESTOWED UPON HIM."

The SenatOrship.

AS both houses Of the General AS
sembly failed to fully organize on Mon
day, the election for United States Sem
ator will not occur until Tuesday week.
The subject is said to be eliciting i'm
mense interest outside and among the
members, though it has pretty much
disappeared from the columns of the
Nashville papers. In an article on the
Situation the Banner thus distantly
touches the Scnatorship:
The Senatorial question, which con-
stitutes the absorbing and exciting topic
Of street, lobby and hotel gossip, seems
but little to affect the cquanimity of the
Senate or House. The indications thus
far are more favorable to the exclusion
Of essentially partisan considerations,
where the material interests of this
commonwealth are involved. In other
words, the election of officers thus far
does not certainly indicate that the ma
jority of votes cast were influenced by
considerations of probable prospective
political effect beyond the limits Of our
State

slow Prices for the Farmers. ,,

The attention of the reader is directed
to the article on the first page of this
paper in reference to gold gambling and
the effect the policy of Grants govern
ment is having upon the agricultural
and industrial interests of the country.
The article is from the pen of the we'll
advised financial editor of the New
York Herald, and appeared in that jour-
nal before the recent collapse in Wall
street. Gold, it will be seen by refer
ence to our quotations, is still declining
under the kiting policy of Secretary
Boutwell,, and must soon sink to a point
where the writer predicts the result will
be most disastrous.
