The Late Wall Street Upronr--The Presiden
aud His Cabinet.
Our readers have been authoritatively
informed from Washington that the Presiden
had not thought proper to contradict the
statements concerning himself in the
matter Of the late Wall street panic,
as he had done nothing whatever to
| influence the money market or to afford any
| advantages to private parties; that while in
! New York he had many volunteer advisers
but had repeatedly said to them that the
administration from time to time would act as
1t seemed best for the public interests thai
while on the eve of going to Newport James
Fisk, Jr., came on board the steamer at New
\ sal To ba hat IT,. l.
sent him down to ask for little private infor-
nation financially, but that on the President
answering that such information would not be
fair Fisk admitted 1t would not be; and that
the President then plainly informed Mr.. Fisk
that the financial purposes of the government
would be made known through the news
| papers as occasion might require, 80 that there
! could be no possible ground for charge OIL
favoritism.
| This simple statement Of General Grant will
set him right before the country and it dis
i closes the sandy foundation of prescriptions
| and conjcctures upon which the leading gold
bulls in their late dangerous experiment Of
| running gold up to two hundred based their
| silly calculations. 1t further appears that
/ on that terrible Friday in Wall street
| (Which for bulls and bears created week Of
| chaos), when the state of affairs ''on Change
was communicated by Secretary Boutwell, TO
| the President, the latter at once responded,
"Sei five millions Of goid,p and that the
order for the sale of four millions Immediately
| followed movement which, from its dis
astrous upsetting Of the rampant bulls,
clearly proved that they had been counting
without their host. The President, however,
by this time will understand that in all these
splendid dinners, balls, parties, picnics and
steamboat excursions in his honor by New
York inanciers, gold and stock gamblers,
there are axes 10 grind and selfish schemes
