The publication lately made of the assets OF
Jay Cooke 4 Go. has not strengthened public
confidence 10 the ability of the firm to liquidate
its Indebtedness. 1t was known that the firm
was very heavily LOADED up" with Northern
Pacific, but no one imagined that they had on
hand such mass of other wild cat securi-
ties The most sanguine creditors are now not
expecting to realize more than ten cents in the
dollar. The Cookies themselves however, still
continue to insist that they will pay up in full.
The Baltimore American says that the indl-
vidual members of the firm are all ruined inau-
cialy by the failure. Jay Cooke loses an estate
belonging to him individually that was once
thought worth nearly $4,000, 600. Mr.. Moore
head had $4,000 of property, it is said, be-
fore he entered the firm, and is now, of course,
peuniless. The other members also lose large
private fortunes. None ofthem can possibly
save dollar FROM the wreck, Judging from
present indications.

THE WILL of the late Johns Hopkins, o.
Baltimore, was admitted to probate, on Satur
day last in Towsontown, Baltimore county
Did. The amount of the bond TO be given to-
day will be fixed by the court, but as the larger
portion of the personal estate is set Oft by pre-
vious trusts to the respective educational ano
charitable institutions provided by MIR. Hop
kips, the view will be urged that the amount
of bond to be given by the executors should be
proportionately less than the whole estate
would otherwise require. The will makes sixty
four pages of legal cap, and the great bulk o.
his large estate is left in trust for the benefit
of his legatees and the two institutions which
he founded.
Francis White, Francis T. King and Charles
J. NJ. Gwynn are named as executors, and
their compensation is fixed at $4,000 fol-
EACH No commissions are to be allowed. The
entire estate is valued at Sl0,000,000, of which
the University and Hospital will get about
S6,OOO,oO0, leaving s4,000,000 to the other
legatees.

JUDGE HENRY w. THOMAS FOR u. 5. SEN
ATOR. As nominations for United States Sen
ator vice Senator l. wis have become the order
of the day, and as many of Virginia most dis
tiuguished sons have been named IN connec-
lion Herewith, it is hoped few lines will be
admissible, presenting a gentleman, whose abil
itv, polished education. legal requirements,
distinguished services in both branches of the
Legislature for series OF years, as Judge Au.
dtor, President of the Senate pro tenn, and
whose purity and dignity of character. will en-
able him to rank as the equal of any other gen.
tcman in the State. The election OF Judge
Thomas, of Fairfax, to represent the first State
in the Union, in that august body, the U. 5.
Senate. and thus become the peer OF those, who,
a few years since, imprisoned him for his devo.
ton to the South, in a loathsome Northern
dungeon, until, by long suffering and starva-
ton. he became so emaciated that his nearest
relatives did not know him on his return, would
seem perfectly appropriate. And there Is
also something due TO locality as that section
of our State, which suffered more during the
war than any other has not been houored by
the election of u S. Senator for more than
half century, since 1917, 10 the person of
