TIE UTLC1 CONTENTION.

We could have wished that our predictions
in regard to the Republican State Convention
had not been so fully confirmed 1t was an
od-fashiOned machine caucus, held strictly i'll
hand by its drivers, which made no pretense
of independence or originality in any of its
acts or utterances. None but the designated
ones had anything to say. No debate
was permitted upon the resolutions.
The candidates selected by the managers were
pushed through under whip and spur. The State
is to be congratulated upon the denomination of
Controller Hopkins and we are glad that there
is one act of the Convention we can
heartily approve. He is an honest and capa-
bic officer, and will receive our cordial sup
port. The failure to nominate Mr.. Raines
for no reason except his Independent political
attitude detracts somewhat from the credit
the Convention would otherwise have gained
by the nomination of Controller Hopkins,
which is thus proved to have been done from
other motives than those of regard for good
and honest administration. The rest Of

CONFIDENCE RETURNING.

The crisis may continue, but at last the
panic is ended. Wall Street has discovered
that it is not necessary to be stampeded every
time a private banking house fails. Not
even the suspension of HOwes & Macy
could renew the wild alarm which broke out
on Tuesday afternoon. All day yesterday the
tone of the street gained frmness, and last
night for the first time since the failure OF Jay
Cooke g. Co., the hotels and clubs were free
from the panic mongers. Nobody pretends TO
enjoy the financial situation, but at least
we're getting used to it, and there's vast
deal in that.
Meantime solid measures of relief have been
reached. The banks stand firmly together
and while formal suspension is avoided, the
drain of greenbacks for mere boarding is
checked. The Stock Exchange has submitted
plan for bank action, which embodies the
mature Judgment of the oldest, most
experienced and respectable members, and
provides a practicable way for get
ting the wheels of its machinery
in motion again. 1t is especially wise i'll
urging the banks not to haIass brokers who
have put up good securities by calling in loans
for a few days. If this advice be followed
there will be far fewer failures on the
reopening of the Stock Exchange than every
body has been expecting. Already settlements
to very great extent have been made, and
the street breathes easier, as the process of
sacrificing stocks and getting things square
goes on.
There are no indications that the panic is
now likely to spread The leading cities re-
fuse to regard it as anything more
than stockholders crash, precipitated
by the failure OF weak railroad
enterprises. We must expect yet to hear of a
certain number of country suspensions, arising
from the very wide connections of our broken
banks: but the effect of this has already
been discounted, and men will no longer be
frightened from their propriety because some
Petersburg banks have closed their doors, or
a run has begun on savings bank IN Pitts
burgh.
Here, too, general business refuses to be
disturbed. The dry-gOods men report free
purchases from Western customers. The
clothing business seems absolutely I'M
touched. The grocers have no uneasiness.
Even the iron trade which would seem likely
to be the first to suffer from railroad panic,
is reported by Mr.. Cornell as thus far an
affected.
Now let us have our small capitalists, on
the look out for investments, come to the res
cue. We advise no man to buy stocks on a
margin, or to buy any but those representing
solid properties of whose actual value he has
positive knowledge. But there are plenty of
these going a begging for purchasers, and
men who can afford to invest are never
likely to sec . q better time. 1t will
help the street, and it will make money for
the purchaser, to snap up good stocks at the
present prices. Confidence is returning,
there is no run on the savings banks,
the other banks are now known
to be all right, and the Stock Exchange will
soon open. Whoever wants to profit by the
present sacrifice Of stocks would do well to
do if to-day. s.S4, sa~s'-7

BORROVED BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

Commercial bills of exchange on London are
reported to have been sold yesterday for 1O2,
or from five to six per cent below the point
which in ordinary times would make it more
profitable for the seller to order specie and
await its arrival We also have news that
s158,OOO in gold was yesterday withdrawn
from the Bank of England for shipment to
New-York. These operations are signs of a
serious arrangement of the machinery by
which our balances with foreign nations are
adjusted. One cause of the present weakness
in exchange may perhaps be traced to the
practice which has been followed of
late years by certain drawers Of exchange, of
lending their bills to dealers in stocks. A
year ago The Daily Bulletin of this city, a
good authority, estimated the amount of such
loans then outstanding at fully forty million
dollars. Perhaps the amount may be less this
year, but we have seen no estimate, and have
no means of knowing A brief explanation of
the meaning of the terms we have used will
make it clear TO the general reader that this
business in borrowed bills is an element of
some consequence in the generalization in the
Foreign Exchange market.
In the months of June, July, August. and
September our imports are usually large,
while the exports, owing chiefly to the falling
off in the shipments of cotton from the South
ern ports, are at thelr lowest level. Hence the
balance of payments is largely in favor of our
foreign creditors, and the expectation of specie
becomes necessary But the shipment of
specie is usually discOntinued some time before
the balance of payments turns in our favor,
which may be said to take place about the list
of November when cotton again begins to be
shipped abroad in large quantities. The
expectation Of specie is discontinued, because
if it we're kept up until the tide actually
changed In our favor it would be Necessary

Happily, the yellow fever is abating in
Shreveport, La, and there is no danger that
the disease will spread much further in the
State. New-Orleans reports deny that the
fever prevails in that city, and it is said that
the general health Of the place is good. The
sad story of Shreveport will probably be that
the disease only disappeared when there was
no more material on which it could feed.

The session of the American Board of For
eign Missions at Minneapolis, Mimi, has a
curious significance when it is recOllected that
this venerable Association was organized while
Minnesota was yet a bowling wilderness.
The Board of Foreign Missions was formed
more than sixty years ago now it holds Its
Convention in what is by no means Far
Western city; yet its journey westward is
over territory of which large part was
untraveled when the Association was born.

According to recent Texas dispatches, it Is
very unsafe travelling for Americans on the
Mexican border 1t is alleged that outrages
of various kinds are perpetrated upon citizens
of the United States, revenge for the Mac
kenzie raid being the presumed motive. The
Texans detail large number of late cases OF
murder and assault, which they declare ought
to be investigated and redressed by the
National authorities. AS THE TRIBUNE has
often said, these reports are so colored by To-
cal feeling and desire for summary retalia-
tory measures, they must be received with
many grains of allowance. So far most Of
the Investigations by the Government have
failed to produce any satisfactory results

llayes Of West Ferrisburgh, uses the so
called Iron clad tin pals for milking
purposes, the bottoms Of which are slight
ly concavc. On Monday, the 18th, the
pals were placed on the south side Of the
house to dry. Not long after, Mrs.
Hayes noticed a smoke issuing from the
side Of the house On examination she
found, to her establishment, that the re-
Election of the sun on the hollow Of the
tin pail had set the clapboards on fire,
and burned through two thcknesscs OF
boards. 1t would have required but a
short time longer to have kindled a de-
structivc fire, the cause of which would
probably have always remained mys-
terry. The same thing occurred on the
Wednesday following. This was also dis.

from here they ran into carriage
which had been left standing crosswise
in the road. The night was so dark
that it was impossible to see anything
at any distance, and the accident on
the part of Mr.. Hogan was inevitable.
The force of the collision upset his wag-
on and slightly injured his wife, besides
breaking the wagon.

The Se-Union.

The most imposing ceremony OF the
Reunion next week, will be the loren
light parade on the evening of the 7th.
1t Is intended to march in procession
through the streets, and If suitable
field can he obtained to 90 through
some of the evolutions of Division and
Brigade drills. Such display of fire
works has never been seen IN Rutland.
Col. Clarke of the st. Adams MES
sENGER thus speaks of the Reunion.
1t is proposed that the veterans in
every town in the State shall gather at
convenient points and enlist in compa-
mics, and then he formed into battalions
by counties. They will go to Rutland
and back for fare one way go into camp
on the fair ground, tents and straw
furnished gratis and can carry their
own rations or buy them there, rs each
shall choose, There are to be no assess
ments and no expenses but just ones
own personal expenses, which may be
very light under the above named ar
rangemeuts. There will be no duty to
be performed, no drill, nothing but to
eat, drink water, and he merry.
Probably there will be guard mount
and dress parade, just to see how it will
seem, and there will be speaking, sing
ing of the old songs, telling of stories
and possibly little of that innocent
amusement which four men used to
perform on blanket when they lacked
table. In short it will be three days
of friendship with the old friends
three days of recreation to men who
have earned such rest during and since
the war. We predict that there will
be gathering of several thousand and
at an informal meeting of soldiers held
in Burlington on the 4th to take pre-
liminary measures to promote the pur.
pose, there was much spirit and en-
thusiasm manifested
