A LOSING OPERATIoN.-The lobby ring
at Washington last session had schemes on
foot for subsidies, land grants, cotton tax
refunding, and so forth, which would have
depleted the treasury TO the amount of sew
eral hundred millions of dollars. One of
the sturdiest opponents Of these grabs was
Senator Chandler of Michigan, bluff and
Independent man, who, whatever may be
his faults, is always hostile to wasteful ex-
penditure OF the peoples money. A good
story is told illustrating his peculiarly.
Meeting leading lobbyist one day in
street car, Chandler accosted him with the
inquiry: "Smith, what will you lobby
thieves take, and quit ?" "Oh," said Smith,

"There," said Chandler, "you are not so

as they disappeared mysteriously one by

the place named Jones, he hailed him ON

ended by proposing that If Jones would
stop the stealing, he would, at killing time,
send TO Jones's house one thousand pounds

And if we be allowed to judge from per-
sonal observations the party relished it, at
least one or two did ample justice to the
tempting viands.
After dinner the evening was passed in
playing several lively games, one especially
conspicuous, was styled Admiration,
which afforded much fun.
About sunset we took leave for town, the
day having been one of the most pleasant

Instead Of being either greatly or per
manently injured by the present, pam
ic. will only be allowed the advantage
of learning a most valuable lesson at
small cost As We eenjeetured last
week, the cause Of tn" disease which
has prostrated Wall Street, and sent
its baleful influences abroad over the
land, lies in corrupt, illegitimate spec
ulatiops in securities ;;as baseless as
the fabric of a vision" Millions Of
dollars have been made from the sales
of bonds upon Bail Roads that had no
existence save in the heated magma
ton of the speculator-not only Rail
Road but all other kinds of stock have
been bought and sold with 4 reckless
regard to honesty that is in the last
degree startling. "Make money, my
son, honestly if you can, and if you
can't-why make money" seems to be
the kind of advice most commonly
followed, especially at the North, now
adays. Do you wish respectability
Make money. Do you want social po-
sition? Make money. Do you want
to be President Make money. Gold
is the key that unlocks the portal to
the qualification of every wish.
Let US learn the lessons of sober
wisdom which the hour teaches. Let
our speculations be honest and lcgiti-
mate, and then although panics and
money crises may come, yet we will
be only temporarily affected.
Since penniug the above, change
has come over the troubled spirit OF
the dream, con6denceis being restored,
and the dread of a general and wide
spread crash is not now felt. TO sum
up the matter We copy the following
paragraph from the STAR as found
in the Phgnir:
''The smoke is clearing away, and
the wrecks appear. What are they !
Half dozen very rich men have sus-
pended payment, but arc quite as rich
as ever; score of moderately well-off
men have declined also to pay their
debts, and are ready to jump into the
market when it opens again; one huge
defalcation is disclosed, but so acute
is the panic that it passes with but
little notice; the President has shown
his hand, and it don't seem to be pre-
cisely. clean"

The Money Panic.

It is to be hoped that the financial
crash has reached its crisis, and thar
merited confidence will soon be restor-
ed to the, monetary world. A large
number of failures and suspensions
have been reported siuce our last issue.
Up to last Friday the prospect was
anything but pleasant. Several pri-
vate Banks in Richmond and Peters
burg We're reported is suspended, and
it was even currently reported that all
the National Banks of New York city,
and the Banks. in Charleston, had
closed their doors. Many of these re-
ports have not been authenticated

straightway made them mountains.-
