the would-be briber that he would never vote

the constitutionality Of the law.
Alderman Koch thinks that the nominations

NEW York, November Ia Herald
special from Washington says Secretary
Richardson, if he resigns, will be nom
mated Chief Justice or Associate Justice
OF the Supreme Court.
Nothing new in money matters since
yesterday. Rumors have been current
that weakness may possibly be devel-
oped by few banks, when left to their
own res ources. 1t is thought, however,
no danger may be apprehended. The
Chairman of the Clearing House Asso'
citation yesterday paid every bank in the
Association, and would be supported by
every other bank, and that the resources
of all would be used to defeat all at
tempts to break down any one. This
would indicate that the banks are safe.
| Shrinkage in values on general market
yesterday was enormous, although,
apart from panicky rumors, there was
not the slightest apparent reason for
the decline in most of declining stocks,
and Of course there is great room for
advance. There will be now and is a
scrambling to obtain possession OF rail
road securities at low figures, especially
on West and Southwest roads. The

wages by the employers in the building
trade on Monday next has aroused tht
workmen, and it is now said that if the
reduction is enforced a general strike
will be the result, and as a consequence
the building trade will be. at standstill
This would place the employers in al
embarrassing position, as the building
in course Of erection would not be fin
ished before winter fairly set in.
The iron foundries and outside manu-
factories arc affected seriously by the
scarcity Of money. The manufacture
Of sewing machines has fallen of very

the orphans may be adopted into good
homes, But il the asylums at home and
the proposition to put the orphans in

greater burdens arc u be added. One
of our Judges, an excellent, clcar-headea

surplus orphans could be furnished with

experiment before sending the children
