New York Money Market

New YORK, August 3.-MOney market.
The suspension Of the eminent Greek firm
of Rodoconachi & Fraughiade was re-
ported this afternoon, and created consid-
cradle talk. This firm had its headquar-
tiers at London, branches at New York, Rio
Janeiro, Constantinople, and other foreign
cities. The house has always enjoyed very
high credit and passed through number
Of financial psnics. The amount of the
liabilities is not known, and it is reported
that the suspension was caused by rise
in gold at Rio, the firm being short.
Money moderately active to-day. Call
loans per cent on stocks and 5 TO
6 on governments. At one time during
the day there were some loans made at 4
per cent on governments, but these were
exceptional. Discount marked dull at s
@I0c. Sterling dull at 94@l0c. A New
Orleans house has drawn for $4,000 dollars

CoRN-Since the close of our last week.
ly review corn has materially declined.
The receipts during the week have been
heavy, and dealers have thus been enabled
to catch up with their orders or nearly so.
We heard of a few shipments still at
81 90, but only to fill orders Of several
weeks standing, and purchased at high
figures expressly for orders. The market,
however, is yet unsettled, and we hear Of
shipments as low down as 924c. The ship
ments to-day embraced 5000 bushels at
924, 95, 98@$1 90.

We COPY the following interesting article
relative to hrothe Of our we'll known fell
low townsman, Geo. y. Woodin Esq
from the Rock Island Union Of the 30th
ult.:
A PRoDIGAL.-A few days ago, our we'll
known fell0w-citizen, Stephen WOOd:n, was
surpri1ed by the arrival OF his youngest son
from California. Twcnty-one years ago,
last January. the son left the parental roof IN
Western New York, went down 20 the city and
embarked for the new land Of Ophir. His
vessel sailed around Cape Horn, landing
young Woodin IN S n Francisco in October
following. For several months he worked at
mining, in the Yuba country, bat SUI 'e4uently
located ut the will ge of Auburn, forty miles
east of Sacramento, and engaged in merchan-
,,ising. Here he married, became the rather
| Of three children and prospered. For some
years the memory Of the old home and old
friends in he distant east, induced him to
write letter occasionally. But after awhile
that wore away, and for seventeen years ais
family heard from him only accidentally.
| In the meantime the father moved west, and
I finally located st Rock Island. The great

The Elec ctiOn.

Now that the battle is over, and the
smoke has cleared away, we can look the
field over, and see wherein the contest was
badly conducted, and why the Democratic
party was defeated in the State We see
two very prominent reasons for our defeat.
First and greatest; Democrats did not go
to the election If a full Democratic vote
had been poled, we -houid have carried
the State by FIVE or ten thousand majority,
Another great reason for our defeat is, that
the Democratic press, and speakers did not
publish to the. world IN tones Of huRde1
the corruption of the Republican party
The ''still hunt that our wOud rful Safe
Central Committee decided to be tie thing,
proved, as we predicted, a hunt unto
death" to our side Again there was not
candidate on our State ticket except
John Black, who deserved to be elected
They done nothing, from the time OF their
nomination, to secure an election. Even
our policy, candidate for Governor virtually
stated in his paper just before election, that
he cared but little whether he va elected
or not.
The complimentary vote which he re
csived in Brown County, at the expense Of
Lyman Walker, the Democratic candidate
for Senator, is certainly not complimentary
lad all of our candidates been of the style
and pluck that our candidate for State
Treasurer, all would have been elected.
But they were inactive and dead aud we
hope that, politically, they will forever re
main so.
Again, had every County dcne as well
as did Manitowoc, we should have carried
the State. We claim for our County that
under all circumstances, she acquitted
herself better than any other county in the
State, and We shall continue to do well,
only, shall hereafter insist upon working
for live Democrats, upon Democratic
basis.

George Peabody.

We clip the following from the Chicago
Times: The death Of George Peabody is
an event which. while it will not attract as
much attention as would that Of almost
any eminent politician, is yet something
deserving OF prominence and comment in
every country where the English language
is spoken Both as phlauthropist and
business man, Mr. Peabody has won the
notice and respect Of the civilized world
In looking over his life one may find
matter Of instruction at almost every step
of il. Dying the posseSsor of untold mil-
lions, he began life almost a pauper. His
own genius, industry, and perseverance
constructed the craft which bore across the
vast oceans and through the tremendous
difficulties and dangers that separate indi-
gence from such opulence as he attained. -
In bis success in elevatng himself from the
ragged school boy of Danvers, in Massa>
chusetts; to the great American banker in
London, he furnishes an example of in
finite value for all future generations of
poverty is an obstacle which unaiie abil-
ity cannot overcome 1t is true thar the
world does not lack for such examples; and
yet there are few which are so valuable as
that of Mr.. Peabody. Astor began as low
as Peabody, and climbed as high; but
there is this difference, that the former was
penurious and saving to last degree 9th
er men have been as obscure in origin as
the great American banker, and have gain
ed as great eminence {; bnt there are few
or none who have done so that have not
had their careers botted by the meanness
of the miser, and heartlessness which
persistently ignored the henefit of every
thing save the single individual-self. In
the fact that to his industry and genius
Mr.. Peabody added vast aud comprehen-
siye benevolence. does be stand ont prom
inently from among the self made men Of
this or any other age.
