tonishing vicissitudes in the fortunes Of those
who were in position to profit by it. The
Chronicle gives the particulars of case which
is as strange as anything to be found in fiction.
a few months ago the banking house Of John
SINE & Co., failed, having only $50, 900 in
money and lot Of wildcat mining stocks to
satisfy liabilities to the extent of 1925, 900.
Many deposisors suffered BY this failure, some
OF whom were driven into bankruptcy in con-
sequence of it. The assets of the bank were
locked up, and measures were taken to close
up its affairs. In the meantime the specula-
tive mania had begun to manifest itself, and
mining stocks were rising. Among the assets
Of Sine & Co., was large quantity of Ex-
chequer stock, considered to be worth s. per
share OF the time of the failure When the
speculative fever reached its height, Ex-
chequer was selling at 800 a share. The
other stocks held by the bank appreciated in
an equally marvellous manner, and at last &C.
counts Slime s Co. had on hand enough money
to pay all their liabilities in full, with sur.
plus of $4,000. The depositors, who sup
posed that they had been ruined by the failure
of the bank, have been no less gratifed and
astonished at this unexpected turn of affairs
than Slime Co. themselves.

1t appears that Maine was represented a,
the recent Woodruff convention in New York
by one Maddox, who made himself quite prom
inent in the proceedings. In the Herald re-
port Of the second days doings it is said,
At this juncture the inevitable Maddox OF
Maine, got upon the platform and commenced
to saw the air with his arms, and at the same
time articulate sounds came from his mouth.
Maddox Of Maine, talked Communism. Mad
dox of Maine talked philanthrophy. Then he
made another excursion in the air with his
arms. Then he condescended to explain to
his audience the mode Of operation by which
the new party were to procure funds. H.
said it was their intention to issue certificates
of Indebtedness, to be signed by the chairman.
secretary and treasurer of the Executive Com
mi'tee of the new party. This was to be done
in the style Of the Fenian bonds. Maddox Of
Maine, knew that millions of Americans were
ready to buy the bonds, any amount of money
could be procured, and in the ecstacy of the
sublime thought, Maddox Of Maine, meta.
phorically embraced the whole world in his
arms. Maddox sat down at last, his eyes roll.

POLITICAL.

"Will the Tribune inform US whether, in 1T
opinion, it is worse to be party organ or {

Senator Oliver P. Morton emphatically de-
clares that he is opposed to any change O
front at the Philadelphia Convention.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin thinks that the
"Greeley- Brown nomination is seriously dis
organizing the democratic party"
The Republican Convention, to revise the
rules governing the Republican party in Phil
adelphia, adopted the Crawford county sys-
tenn" Of holding primary elections"
Baltimore is an unlucky place for the de.
mocracy. 1t was there Cass was nominated,
to be defeated by Zach Taylor, in ls48, and
it was the there treachery and treason Of
the Charleston conspirators against the demo-
cratic party eliminated in 1851.
If we may credit one Col McRae of Mem.
phis, Tenn, political millennium is about to
dawn on the South. "Give us Greeley" he
said at Cincinnati "and he can have all the
rebel vote, all the loyal vote, and all the ne
groes and dogs"
1t has been suggested that the action Of
democratic Senators in voting in solid phalanx
against the abolition Of the franking privilege,
was the result of desire to lacerate the
heart of Mr.. Greeley, whose one consisten,
purpose it has been to effect this reform.
Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens is out in long
editorial, bristling with italics and small caps,
in which he denounces as traitorous all propo-
sitions for coalition with the liberal republi-
cans, and declares that a straight democratic
ticket is the only open way to victory.
The Bangor Commercial opposes the adop-
ton of Greeley by the democrats, and gently
raps the Argus for its haste in hosting the
Cincinnati ticket, in the following style:-
"The Portland Argus, democratic, which was
among the first to urge the nomination of Gen.
Grant by the democrats, in 1868, now turns
against its first love, and hoists at the head of
its columns the names of Greeley & Brown"
The Tribune is not going to be an "organ'
but at the same time it devotes columns of its
space every day to nonsensical 'congratula-
tons" alleged to have been received by Mr.
oieeiey' 40 ioi ITO Saiuuhies upon Tue Iresi-
dent, who can now fail to see the motive
which dictates them? Can a rival candidate be
expected to tell the truth or show fair play !?
Honest journalism is at an end when conduct
ors of newspapers become candidates for
office, and use their columns for the purpose
of slandering their rivals. 1t requires no
great discernment to see why the Tribune
should endeavor to misrepresent every act of
Gen. Grants, and to bring his Administration
into disrepute. Mr. Greeley wants to step
into his shoes-that is all there is of it.-New

NEW YORK, May 4th, 1872.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
The most prominent redeeming feature of
this great, and perhaps corrupt city, is the
ability of its citizens to sustain a daily prayer
meeting in the lower part of the city, and
such is the fact. On Fulton street, in the
second block east from Broadway, stands
Reformed Dutch Church and Chapel or Lee
ture room adjoining, in which prayer meet
ing was organized at noon, September 23d
$780, and from that day to the present, be-
tween the hours of twelve and one at noon
day, crowds of people may be seen gathering
from their places of business to spend an hour
IN social worship. This meeting is known all
over the land as "The Fulton street Daily
Prayer Meeting" and is attended by strangers
visiting the city on business or pleasure, from
| all christian lands. 1t is here the children of

same God. The services are opened by read
ing the scriptures and prayer.by the leader
reading requests from various parts of the
country for the prayers of the meeting in be-
half of friends and those who have no par
ticular interest for themselves, that they
might be led to seek the Savior, and other
letters in which thanks were returned for
answer to prayer. Time not exceeding five
minutes is allowed each person who engages
in the services, singing is frequently inter-
sperSed SO that the minutes are profitably i'm
proved. 1t may seem strange to some that
the man Of business can step from his ware
house or counting room, with his mind en-
crossed with the cares that are bearing him
earthward, at once into prayer room, and at
an hour when nature calls loudly for rest and
refreshment. But the man Of God here finds
both, and leaves the Fulton street prayer
meeting strengthened and better qualified to
ba tie with the world, for he has been holding
converse with One who is able and willing to
help bear the conflicts Of life. With such

The Evening Post says: 1.-The independ
ent journalist is very peculiar kind of ;
man. lie is difficult to understand, be
cause independence in one persons mouth
does not mean the same thing as it does
in another's. But we believe we have
reached the bottom Of the matter at last.
The Times, for example, is an independ-
ent journal; so is the Tribune. That is
to say, as we understand il, the Times is
independent of the Tribune and the Trib-
une of the Times. So the Herald is in-
dependent OF either, and the Sun of all
three. In fact, it is in the case of the last
journal that we begin to appreciate the full
meaning Of the term. independence, in
short, means general disregard of the
opinions Of those whom they don't like, and
large appreciation of the value of your
own. We often hear the word applied
outside of journalism to the magnates of
corner groceries, 10 whom their associates
refer with becoming pride, as good fell
iers-free and easy, kinder Independent
