Exciting Events in Wall Street, Day
of "C0rncrS.'

1t is not often that the doings of
the Wall street community are inycs-
ted with interest enough to attract the
attention of ordinary everyday people
who know nothing Of tho mysteries of
speculation and care less for those en-.
gagged in it. But the events ard moi.
dents chronicled in our financial re-
port this morning will challenge, nay,
absorb, tho interest of those NEST in
different TO tho usual "dry" topics
of the department of newspaper litcra
turc.
A great war has broken out be.
tween the moncyed Moguls of 'the
street, and it is as if somo Of The
tribes of antiquity had marshallcd for
deadly fray under the lcadc cship Of
their respective princes, only that the
weapons here used arc the material of
speculation and the blood spilled aud
to be spilled is money. Moreover,
the quarrel came up as suddenly as
thunder shower in summer, succeeds
ing spell Of dulness and calm that
had nigh worn out the patience OF
both broker and speculAtor. 1t
sprung from the clashiug of the in
tercsts ofseveral sets Of men who had
been Cooperating" for opposite re.
suits. Like the two Western bravocs
who were shut up in dark room to
light out their duel, they came across
each other III their devious mcandcr-
inSs about the market, and both be-
ing sgame" the contest assumed from
the beginning proportions and features
Of no ordinary kind. When million.
ario like Daniel Drew encounters ad-
versaries like Jay Gould, and the
struggle branches out SO as to include
wealthy banking louses and other
wealthy individuals, the speculative
struggle is apt to be extraordinarily
III earnest.
Yesterday the air of Wall street
was rife with "corntrs." There vas
first "corncr" in E.ie, the prolonga-
ton of one begun last week, when clr.
tain i,asties undertook to sell stock 10
arrive from England and were caught
at III, st serious disadvantage. Tucn
there was ''corncr" in gold, next TO
tue most serious Of the kidd in the
history Of the gold market, aud lastly
mine Was sprung in the money mar,
ket. The rowing cl'ques tad gone
from Ole to the other Of these scyu-
raj interests, and manipulated thcu
to their own advantage to their
orronents' injury. Money, which
luaned at five per cent on Mon
day, was "squcczed,"-to Use the
vcrnacular Of the StraGt--uutil it WAS
worth two hundred and twenty-five
per cent-that is, tho luckless holders
Of stocks who hadn't the money to
carry them over night was compelled
to pay this enormous rate Of Interest
for one days accommodation. 1t was
action and reaction all around. One
party played against another, and in
50 doing helped or hurt third, max
ing a complicat on Of conflicting in
tcrests and arraying antagoGi>tic
speculations such as Wall street has
seldom or never seen so oddly compos.
cd. The romance has not al gone from
money when SO curious a history rs
the one now making is capable Of cvo.

trust it will prevail, We will sweep

months. We will say to the colored
men: We proifer you nothing except
the protection of the laws-,he same
for you as for us. You have Your
living to earn as we'll as we have.
You will have to use all your atili.
ties, all your energies all your faculties,
and make the most of them you can.
The laws DO not favor you. They will
thoroughly protect you, and in three
months, if VIC succeed, the colored
people will be so disabused that some
men can never deceive them again
never again. But suppose We fail,
and we may fail, if tho. colored
men did not believe that the power
was against us, that money if they
did not realize that the treasury, the
army and the one hundred thousand

We cannot overcome they certainly
would not be so unive rsally hostile to
us. Why, they think we cannot sue

winning side. That is part of it,
but they are also dcludcd in regard
to our purposes. We say We are not
your enemies, we will not he your

YOU have made cannot be made over

How Maine Vas Carried for Grant.

The Maine election appears to have
been costly affair to the Grant party.
The Bangor correspondent of the
New York SUI declares that tho
s'cost of carrying Maiue for the Grant
tics will exceed $200,000 besides the
! money contributed by private iudi.
1iduals, but the officc-holders have
observed that it is simple question
of life and death. and so tho money
has flowed like water" He adds, "on
the other hand, the Liberals havo
scarcely had money enough to pay the
gas and stationary bills Of their com.
mitteo rooms." The Maine Stand
ard, Of the 18th inst, after giving the
result Of the late election in that
State, says: "Every unit in the Re,
publican majority represents vote
bought by the money Of the admiris-
tratlon. Had no money been used,
Maine would Monday have given a
Liberal p,jority ofover ten thousand.
But it is not too much to say that
nearly twenty thousand votes we're
bought BY the Grant managers, who

foot upon Maine soil for twenty years
were put Oil the lists and voted,
against the protest Of every honest
man. Washington clerks, Navy Yard
employees aud military gentlemen
were sent to Maine with orders to v.te
for Grant caudidates-orders they
dare not disohoy." Aud yet, after
all these appliances had been ex-
hausted, the majority falls fully
twelve thousand behind that given
for General Grant in 1868, which is
the only true test.
