ing engaged upon his message. The
Cabinet met at noon; all members pres
ent except B-lknap and Cresswell.
Boston, Nov. 22.-Mayor CASTOR has
been nominated by the Democrats for
reelection.
New York, Nov. % Wall street was
the scene of great excitement this after
noon, caused by the extraordinary adj
vance of Northwestern common stock,
under the operation Of corner, from 95
to 200. The corner is the closest since
that made in Prairie du Chen stock sew
eral years ago. Unless wealthy men are
short of the stock. it is not probable the
clique would SO run up the price, as so
great an advance would cause the sus-
pension of ordinary dealers unfortunate
enough to be on the short side. Gould
is said to have the entire charge Of the
pool, and his arrest has caused panic
among the bears, who bid up tho price
against themselves.
Columbus, o., Nov. 22.--The full Off
cial vote OF Ohio gives Grant 81, 531 ma.
jority.
New York, Nov. 22.-Jay Gould pre-
sented himself at the Sherif's Office, &C.
companied by Augustus Schell and
Horace T. Clarke, who consented to be-
come his sureties, bail being fixed at
81 900, 900, and each bondsman justified;
whereupon Gould was released by the
Sheriff. ....-
1t is ascertained that the Gould clique
have a call on $1,000 shares more than
the whole capital stock of the company;
so the Northwestern is virtually not pur-
chaseable at any price, except with the
good will of the holders.
The arrest of Gould is the indirect re-
suit of the corner in Erie, got up a short
time ago, by which Smith and Gould,
then working in Union, were heavily
squeezed. Both vowed to be revenged
on the Drew clique, and proceeded to lay
their mines, but sudden disagreement
opened bitter quarrel between them.
War to the knife WAS declared Henry
N. Smith said he shorted 10000 shares
and Daniel Drew 10000 of the North
western common.
The celebrated stallion, Socrates, own
ed by Mr.. R,lpbo, of Philadelphia,
valued at $40, 900, and the noted trotter,

ton, valued at $4,000, died to-day, Of
dropsy.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The report of
the Comptroller of the Currency reviews
Mt Length the working of the National
Banking System since its inauguration
Of the whole amount in circulation APP
propriated by Congress, $342, 900, 900
have been issued, and the balance, S12,-
100000, promised to associations that
have taken preliminary steps toward Or
ganizing original banks. The Comptrol-
Ter considers that part of the recent act
which calls for the redistribution of $25,-
100000 currency, by withdrawing that
amount from the Middle and Eastern
States and giving it to the Southern and
Western as impracticable, and recon-
mends its repeal, and that an amend
ment be made in lieu thereof, providing
for the issue of 81, ZOO, 600 of bank circu-
luton annually for the next five years.
He is opposed to any change in the law
in reference to the reserve which the
banks are required to hold, and shows
by statistical tables that the law, which
has become the rule with all cautiously
managed banks, should not be hastily re-
pealed; suggesting, however, that it
would be to the interest of the banks to
keep larger proportions in their reserve
in their own hands, instead of placing it
on deposit with the city banks, and
points out way by which this may be
accomplished to the general benefit. The
report contains much statistical Informal
ton in reference to banks. It is stated
that the ratio of net earnings of the Ma.
tional Banks of the country to the CAPT.
tai and surplus, without making allow
ance for bad debts, is about 10 per cent.
annually; and the ratio Of dividends to
capital aud surplus, less than per cent.
