WASHINGTON, October A.
The President and the Late New York
Pnnic.

The President and the Late New York
Panic.
The Administration papers here think
that the Presidents denial of the story
that he was engaged with Fisk & Co. in
the recent gold speculation was wholly
uncalled for, and quite out of place; but
the fact that the President admits that
he ordered Boutwell, to sell gold while
the panic was at its height .excites So
we're comment, and prove the truth of
the recent kilograms that the President
was appealed to by the New York Union
League bankers to order his Secretary
to sell gold. An investigation which
has been made shows that after all gold
declined IA per cent.-from 62 to 4S-
before Boutwelps order to sell had
reached the Assistant Treasurer in New
York.
Less Of Pennsylvania Virtually Con
ceded by the Radicals.
The Radical State Committee OF
PENNSYLVANIA sent word down here last
Saturday that if the President did not
visit the State this week Boutwell,
must 20 there and make speech, or the
canvass would fail. So the Secretary
of the Treasury posted off to-day to
Philadelphia, where he is to make
campaign speech in puffery of his own
policy. If he loses as many for the Rad
icals as the Radicals say Dslano's course
did in Harrisburg, the State is sure to
20 for the Democrats on October II.
Amos Kendall in N Critical Condi-
ton.
Amos Kendall, who was Andrew
Jsckson's Postmaster General, is lying
at the point of death. His physicians
say that his recovery is impossible.
The Virginia senntorship.
The matter of the election of Senators
from Virginia arrested the attention,
aud is subject Of solicitude among mem
beers of the Administration and extreme
Radical politicians. These latter have
been grievously disappointed at the
tenor of the Attorney Generals spin-
ions, which have cut off all hope of
forcing the Virginia Legislature to elect
men of their class to the United States
Senate.
An untrue Report.
There is no truth in the story that the
Navy Department has ordered the con-
struction Of several fast steam sloops of
war. The Department, instead of build
ing additional ships, is anxious to sell
several now on hand. ....
Another False Rumor
1t is not true, as stated, that there is
any case on the Supreme Court docket
testing the constitutionality of the old
tax on cotton. I.
