Commissioner of Insurance General laws are
better than charters in the long run, as that
which is open to competition is better than that
confined by monopoly; and, unless there is
something defective about the new law, which

There is a story Of the Wall-st. corner which
comes to us upon no very good authority, but
is SO characteristic of the situation that it
seems TO be worth repeating. Mr. Jay Gould,
40 the anecdOte runs, persuaded the venerable
Daniel Drew some weeks ago TO join HIM in a
conspiracy for locking up Erie. The two part
ners bought large quantities Of the shares
took in fact all they could get-and when the
quotations had gone up five or sir per cont
Mr.. Could quietly unloaded all his own pur-
chases upon his confederate. Daniel Drew is
not often caught in such trap, and the story
may very well have been built upon an cpl
sode in that eminent operators career as
Treasurer Of the Erie Railway Company five
OF six years ago. On the occasion referred to,
Mr.. Drew was the chief manipulation of pool
IN Erie. The price had risen considerably. when
one Of the ring, surprised at tho apparently mex
haustible supply of shares, made an investi-
cation, and discovered that Mr.. Drew had
been feeding him and his associates out Of the
pool, and had cleared quite pretty penny by
the operation. 1t would have been q fine
stroke of pOetical justice if he had suffered
now by an application of his own device; but,
"a we have intimated already, it is hardly
credible.
70 such incidents are illustrations Of the sort
Of business" chiefly transacted on the stock
market which the public might do wen to
study. For gamblers, who trust their fortunes
to chance, and for adventurers who purpose
making a living by imposing upon the credu-
lfty Of their fellows, the Exchange is proper
theater Of operations. We can watch with
composnre the robbing of Mr.. Drew by Mr..
Gould, and We shall look on with equal salts
faction when Mr.. Drew gets his turn, as no
viii some day, and. rolls the pockets of the
Oh President Of Erie inside out If Mr.. Henry
n Smith, betting on the fluctuations of North
Western stock loses all that he has made by
discreditable transactions during the last four
years, we certainly shall not lament his mis-
fortunes. So long as Smith, Gould, Drew,
Vanderbilt, Clark, and the rest of those fnan-
cial mischief-makers only plumber one another,
there is nothing TO give the public moment
Of concern. But in startling operations like
that of last week it is always
outside innoccnts who are first caught and
ground 90 powder. Saturday and yesterday
the brokers Of the victorious clique sat in their
offices and squeezed the small spectators who
came 10 one By one to confess how much

THREE TRRMS-ONE TERN.

Journals which rejoice with more enthusiasm
than discretion over President Grants reelec-
ton have begun to talk about the desirability
of electing him yet again for third term.
There has been among his more unwise sup
porters in this city similar talk in Clubs and on
Wall street, Wehope these people and journals
are running before they have been sent. We
do not believe they have received from the
President, Cor any one authorized to speak for
him. any intimation Of such desire; and we
should prefer to he very slow in believing
that he even cherishes it. .........
But does not this over-zealous talk give
him an opportunity we know that he was
once in favor Of the 0ne-Term principle. That
no has waived his support of it in his own
behalf is perhaps not so much to be
wondered at. Gen. Jackson, on provo
cation no greater, did the same thing
in far more conspicuous way. "Old
Hickory" had officially recommended one
term amendment to the Constitution, before
he began the canvass for his own reelection.
If he had pressed the recommendation with
equal vigor in his second term he might have
carried it. Gen. Grant could carry it now.
Like the other vital features of the Cincin-
natl platform, the One-Ierm princple seems
to Us inherently sound and wise. We believe
that no canvass by President in office for
reelection has failed to enforce its wisdom
upon the calm thinkers both OF the
defeated and of the successful party. Pos
sibly the one term ought to be longer; but
certainly the incumbent ought to be protected
by constitutional safeguards against the temp
tation of using the gigantic power of his
place in furthering his personal ambition to
retain it. The advocacy of such measure
now would be freed from any invidious
application. and would arouse far less en-
venomed opposition than at any time within
the past five years. We hardly hope that
tho President viii put an end to the unwise
talk of his partisans about a third term, by
recommending now tho principle which he
favored in 1868; but We are sure that he
might do many worse thing.

they could pay and 10 part with their last
penny. Poor clerks who had staked few
spare hundreds on tho great lottery, in tho
hope of adding something to their scanty
salaries; tradesmcn who had risked their saw
ings professional men who had expected TO
win enough in Wall-st. to buy Christmas gifts
for wife and children. or to pay the New
Years bills, were the victims who, in the per-
sons of their brokers. came up TO the judg-
ment scat and submitted TO BIO ruined. Mr.
Gould was merciful. He took all they had,
and excused them from paying the rest. The
great player, Smith, held back. He was strong
and IL he succeeded in eyading the obligations
to which weaker men were bound, that cir
cumstance would not be without precedent in
the history Of the Exchange. ... r
The unprofessional Spectator in Wall-st
ought TO have been convinced by the events
of these few days that no plays against
loaded dice when he stakes his money where
Drew, Smith. Gould, and operators of that
class can reach it. He has not the chance OF
the ordinary betting man, or the genteel
gambler who sits down to rouge ct NOR or
faro. 1t is % skin gamen which is played in
the stock market--a contest of wits and purses
between two parties of sharpers, each bent
upon cheating the other, and draining the last
drop of blood from any victim who comes be-
tween them. When stock worth about S75
share purports to be selling by the thousand
at $500 and $3.50. honest men should keep out
