FOR PRES DENT IN 1876,
GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT,
OF the United States.
STAYING THE PANIC.


The failure of the Lake Shore rail
road to pay call loan of 81, $50, 900 on
Saturday precipitated the failure of the
Union Trust company, and thus, con-
trary to general expectation the panic
that day became worse than ever. Yes
terday great alarm prevailed in financial
circles. Measures of relief were under
taken, full details Of which are publish
ed in the morning papers. President
Grant, Secretary Ct the Treasury Rich
ardson, and Gen. Hillhouse, sub-treas-
urer in New York, met large number
of the largest capitalists and most pro-
minent financiers at the Fifth avenue
hotel in conference on the crisis. The
proposition was made directly to the
President to lend the treasury reserve
of $44, 900, 900 to the banks, and it was
at once rejected because without war
rant of law. Commodore Vanderbilt
then proposed to lend $40, 900, 900 if
the treasury would issue $25, 1000, 900,
but he was asked why he did not pay
the call loan of $1,750,000 due the
Union Trust company, and allow it to
resume.
This he accepted as a declination Of
his offer, and retired without explaining
his failure to pay the loan due. Reyer-
dy johnson, at the request of the capt.
talists, addressed an opinion to the pre-
sident, saying that while there was no
legal authority there was precedent for
loan, and urging the president to re-
ply fayorably to some such proposition.
The president finally declined again to
make the loan, but decided to direct the
sub-treasurer to buy unlimited amounts
of 500 bonds or bonds of 81, at par, as
fast as they were offered by those wish.
ing to realize on them. This done the
president left the city and returned to
Washington.
The result of Saturdays panic in Wall
street may be thus briefly summed up +:
Eleven additional failures of brokers
were announced, making total of thir-
ty-three houses which have failed and
three banks which have suspended.
The stock exchange has been closed un-
til further orders of the president, and
thus speculation has been practically
stopped until settlements can be made.
BY this action confidence was in large
measure restored among the brokers /;
and later the bankers and merchants
and larger army Of bank depositors were
treasured by the action of the clearing
house committee in issuing ten million
dollars of loan certificates, and resolv-
ing on concerted action of the moneyed
institutions. The government also
threw ten million dollars of greenbacks
on the street by the offer to purchase
bonds to that amount, and these mea-
sures of relief very much helped to break
the force OF the panic on that day.

YELLOW FEVER In THE SOUTH.

SHREVEPORT, La, Sept 21.-The
epidemic exhibits no abatement. New
cases are not as numerous as at the first
of last week, but the ratio is fully as
great. Good nursing is doing great
deal for us. There were fourteen inter
ments yesterday, and several to-day.
The outskirts of the city show an in
crease of cases.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 21.-In response
to telegram from the Medical Faculty
at Shreveport, the Howard association
to-day despatched three physicians to
that city, each of whom has had many
years experience in the treatment of
fever in Louisiana. Hopes are enter
tanned that they may be successful in
checking the ravages of the epidemic
The news from Shreveport to day by
private dispatches is very discouragin4
The disease continues to spread, and the
percentage of deaths is so great as to
cause the most painful apprehensions.
MEMPHIS. Sept. 21.-Thirteen per-
sons died of yellow fever in this city
yesterday, and there were a few more
| cases. Everybody is more hopeful.
Only eight persons died to-day. -Four
new cases were reported by the Howard
Association. The disease is fully under
control and confidence is entirely re-
stored.
A private letter from New Orleans,
September Is, says that the yellow fever
is raging in that city, but that the
authorities are suppressing the fact.
Many families have moved to the coun-
try to escape the scourge.
MOBILE, Sept. 21.-Yellow fever has
made its appearance in this city. but
not in epidemic form as yet. -Four per
sons have died.

THE pEFAuLrINa SECRETARY.

Mr.. Charles 7. Carlton, the default
ing Secretary of the Union Trust COM
pany, is the son of DR.. Carlton, of this
city, The Sun says his age is twenty
six years. He was formerly with the
United States Trust company, and was
recommended to the the Union COM
pany by Mr.. John A. Stewart. For
five years he has been the chief bust
ness manager, and had unlimited con-
troll of the funds. The company had
unbounded confidence in his integrity,
and permitted him to pursue his specu-
lations without restraint. His opera
tions have been conducted by three or
four brokers. His residence is 80
South Oxford street, Brooklyn. He
has two young children, who are moth
erless, Mrs Carleton having died about
three weeks ago.
At noon on Friday Carleton took one
thousand dollars from the cash drawer
and went out. Soon afterward Mr..
Wesley inquired for him. At two
o'clock he was yet absent, but the off
GERS thought lie was out collecting loans.
1t was his duty as secretary to be present
and direct affairs while there was an ex-
element consequent upon the run. Mr..
Wesley supplied Cartoons place and
waited until four o'clock, when the
bank closed its outer doors. Carlton
had been recommended from so high a
source and served them faithfully SO
long that the officers were 10th to sus-
pect him, yet his prolonged absence
was unaccountable on any other
grounds, and an examination of the
funds was begun. By midnight it was
found that the bonds had been abstract
ed. Whether more is missing cannot
be ascertained before tomorrow. One
of the directors said:
"He is not thief, nor has he car
cied away dollar except the paltry
thousand taken from the cash drawer.
He has specialized and lost probably
lent money to his friends who have not
returned it yet but he did not steal ii.
l understand he loaned his father TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, but that is amply
secured. He is young man of exem-
plary habits, and strictly honest, but
simply unfortunate. The transaction
would never have been known if the
panic had not caused this run on us, for
every dollar would have been returned. "
CARLEToN's DEFALcATIoN 100000.
The only story of actual crime that
has been developed by the breaking up
in Wall street, is the defalcation Of
Charles 4. Carleton, secretary of the
Union Trust company. At the exam
ination of the affairs of the institution
on Friday night, rapid and general as it
was, it was discovered that at least
three hundred and fifty thousand dol

SURVIVORS OF THE PoLARrs.

DUNDEE, Sept. 20.-Dr. Emil Bessel,
chief of the scientific corps on the Po-
laris expedition, and among the rescued
at this port, says
We are much surprised to find from
the American papers that several rumors
of mischievous tendency, which must
characterize as silly and absurd, have
been put into circulation concerning the
expedition, and particularly concerning
the death of Capt. Hall. 1t is just pos
sible that the government of Washing
ton would prefer that VIC reserve what
we have to say for graver occasion,
but we must emphatically contradict the
statement that Capt. Hall died any other
than a natural death. He died of
apoplexy. He was i'll abouta fortnight.
He appeared in perfect health when en-
tering on the voyage I noticed moth
ing unusual in his health up to the
period of his illness. The rumors that
he was poisoned are too absurd to be
seriously entertained. The rumor may
have been founded on the Authorizations
of the raving patient.
Emil Schuman, the chief engineer,
Ill LuC COuIo0 Vi IL COHN SulN
Capt. Hall during his illness was in
continued apprehension of being shot,
but I was not aware that any one mem
Der of the crew more than another ex-
cited his suspicion. Another phase of
his mania was his determination not to
eat or drink unless his food was first
tasted by some person. This was main
ly done by Hannah, the Esquimaux wo-
man. When he rallied and recovered
for while the use of his intellect he
would say to Capt. Buddington
"If die you must still go on to the
Pole"
He would say repeatedly
at is my last wish that you strive to
reach the Pole. Don't let my death be
hindrance to the accomplishment of
this great undertaking."

The executive committee of the Wisconsin
state grange Of the Patrons Of Husbandry at a
meeting held yesterday adopted a resolution re
Pudiaung the recent action Of the Dodge coun-
II grange calling a state convention at Milwau-
kee ON the 18th of August, and issued an order
10 the oranges throughout the state directing
them to disregard the call, and not to bind
themselves to the furtherance OF any political
scheme In direct opposition to one of the cardi-
nal principles of the order. There is a natural
tendency among the oranges in some of the
western states, where the order is the strongest,
towards participating in political movements.
and II Is extremely doubtful whether or net the
organization can long retain its nou-political
Character. Leading men of the order, however,
are strenuously opposed to interfering in politics
and assert that the moment the organization
does this its power for good will be gone for
ever. The inevitable result of introducing poll
tics into the order would be dissension among IL,
members, and this, its founders and leaders
desire especially to avoid.
