WALL STREET P4NIC.


Another financial panic took place in Wal
Street on Wednesday, in which many wer,
ruined, and one broker nearly lost his life BY
the excitement. Spite of the wrecks of tn,
past the gambling operations of this grea
focus of gamblers go on. A despatch of tn,
2lst says:
The excitement on Wall street day ovel
the break in Rock Island was nearly equal t
that of the famous Black Friday. Abou
l combination was formed to force up the
price of Rock Island stock and get corner or
the bears. The principal men in the clique
were William A. Woodward and John f
Tracy, the President of the company. Start
ing at ll2, they gradually bought Rock Island
till it sold this morning at 1870. The capital
stock is 10000 shares. The pool was limit
ed to purchasing 60, 600 shares, but Woodward
overran the limit, and actually bought 273,
900, or l03, 200 more than were ever issued.
He thought everything was lovely, and looked
for fine squeeze on the bears. On Tuesday
he bought all that was offered, and became a
little suspicious of the sellers. Before the
day closed he was under engagement to put
up heavy margins this morning, and the clique
were to furnish him with one million dollars
for this margin. But he found on Tuesday
evening that they could not furnish the mil
lion. There was no help for it and the bub-
BILE must burst. Rock Island opened at $50 3
but as soon as the state of affairs was known
there was scene of the widest confusion
| Many men saw that they were ruined, and the
shouting yelling and rushing were of the
most excited character. Soon after the board
was opened several members officially an
nounced that they must fail, and asked that
their stock should be sold out under the rule.
About three million dollars worth were sold
out, and in two hours the price had fallen to
2lO. Nine dealers were publicly announced
as failed, exclusive of Mr.. Woodward
Those made public are Robert Walter, Henry
A. Dennison, James Austin Dater & Simson,
G.. w. Gillespie, Earle & Saltonstall, w. A.
Bowers, w. Z. Tunis, & Co., and A. G.
Wood. A dozen other failures are rumored,
and there will certainly be others tomorrow
There is much sympathy for Mr.. Woodward,
who is said to have been thrown over and de-
serted by the clique at critical moment when
they had agreed to advance the money. 1t is
even asserted that they had sold short, and
that he actually bought stock they had put or
the market. The general market was not af-
fected as much as expected, with the excep
ton Of Northwest which tumbled five pei
cent. The decline averaged about one and s
half per cent A stormy time and further de
cline is expected tomorrow. Most of the
brokers who have failed are the same men who
were crushed by his hand during the Blacl
Friday panic, and were restored by paying tel
to thirty per cent. on their obligations
They will probably do the same thing now
A great many outsiders have lost heavily BY
the speculation, and will probably keep out O
Wall street in future.

ALL ABOARD!

The arrangements for the democratic
State convention are all complete. The
party has nothing to do but meet next
Tuesday and ratify the programme agreed
upon. 1t has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the managers in this State
and Massachusetts, that c. P. Kimball of
Portland, being a manufacturer of car
riages, is a very proper man to lead the
funeral procession next September. The
Boston Post sagely squints in that direc-
ton. The Portland Argus modestly Sec
onds the proposed nomination gifts fellow
townsman. The editor of the Standard
discovered while at the Forks" among
the black flies that Kimball would make
good wheel horse for the party. Last, but
not least, Simpson of Belfast consents to
waive his claims on account of his Polly
wog articles, and goes for Kimball while
writing up history of rats. So this
troublesome family matter appears to be
settled. The '.jolly row" of last year over
the nomination will not be repeated.
Everything pertaining to the nomination
will be done decently, for all understand
that it is a solemn affair. Last year there
was hope among the democracy of carry
ing the State, and therefore the conven-
ton exhibited wonderful animation, but
this year it is "dead horse" business,
and Of course the proceedings will be for
NAL and lifeless. 1t must be very graft
flying to Mr.. Kimball to know that he has
SO many friends who are anxious to assist
at his interment, and to reflect with what
kindness and disinterestednes Simpson
like an old rat-and the other candidates
mentioned kept their cunning necks out of
the trap. He will probably appreciate
this better in September than now.
While the nomination is all settled there
is some doubt about the platform. Therl
is dread of launching out upon the new
departure and forsaking the old ideas o
the fathers and grandfathers of the party
1t is new thing in politics to undertake
to beat your opponents by resolving tina
they have been right and you wrong. w,
presume, however, the leaders of the de-
mocracy of Maine will be equal to the oc'
casion, and take the new departure with
smiling faces. The feelings of the Pilgrim
Fathers when they left the shores of the
Old World, would bear no comparison tc
the anguish which must wiring the breast
OF veteran democrats when they are
obliged to depart from the principles they
have SO long cherished, and set their sails
Tor negro suffrage, and the social equality
OF the negro, which they have always
stoutly contended followed the ballot. |,
Will be a trying time. To carry it oui
successfully and make practical applica-
ton OF the new departure, we suggest that
negro be brought upon the stage at the
convention, and that he and Mr.. Kimbal
embrace. This would be "a master stroke
1t would be a pledge of the sincerity O
the democrats and an illustration of tn
ground which they take in the new depart
ure. The grand difficulty in the case
however, is to find the negro that woul
consent to take part in such farce Th
most of them have some conscience an
principle and would hardly care to CON
down to the level Of the new departure.

ABSOLUTE OWNERSHIP.

THE truth is, there is no such thing
in this world as absolute ownership.
What we have we hold in trust with
merely the right of use under condi-
tons. The first condition is, that we
use it for our own good and for the
benefit Of others. We are merely stew
ards in the Almighty's world, clerks
having the care of His property and
affairs. We are placed here to do An
others business, to balance His ledger
of justice aud to pay His bills when
they are presented. Need is the Al
mighty's mark of acceptance. Want
is His note Of demand against plenty.
Poverty is a Divine draft upon wealth !;
and if we refuse to honor it, all the sut-
fering that results from our delinquen-
cy will be added as interest thereto,
and it will be sent up for adjudication
to the Supreme Court of the world.
1t will be no valid plea at that tribun-
al that we paid our taxes, and subscrib-
ed something for the Church, and drop
ped now and then few pennies into
a contribution box. We shall have no
heart to put in as defense for miser-
Illness that we expended what had been
entrusted to us in sumptuous living,
fine clothes and q splendid equipage !;
that we took it to spoil our children
with dainty dresses and foolish accom-
plishments; that we used it to strength
en- the walls Of our sect or to build a
sumptuous church for our pride to sit
in and pretend to worship.
