The Panic and the Suspensions.

Yesterday was another "black Friday :,
IN Wall street. New York; perhaps more
disastrous to brokers and bankers than that
of Friday. Septcmbcr27, 1869. The failures
or suspensions amongst that class were
numerous. We refer TO our te'eglaphic
head for the news Of the disasters when
marx this second dark Friday.
The excitement in New York was intense
AND Inc wires were actively employed ali day
snrcad;nr the news over the whole Union.
The remarkable feature OF the hnai'cia'
storm that RACED SO in New YORK was 'i'at
The i,ilorcs were so exclusively amongst the
brokers and bankers.
I: appears plain that The reriod OF Tue
wcu.kuown large advances to rai'roau GOT
pora;ions was seized upon as Favorable for
forcir.y the market and producing panic
and S:ccula,ing upon its effects. The con-
scouynt suspensions make up long list.
4, TO the future Of these suspended firms
everything depends upon what is known as
the shrnkase OF stocks. A heavy de-
cline with forced sales will Of course be dis.
aStrou$.
II is to be hoped that the storm Will SUB
side to-day and better condition OF things
prevail. under which the credit OF the better
houses will rapidly he rccStablishcd. Our
latest kilograms report better feeling and
the rumor that the Government would enter
the market to-day and invest several MIL
lions in stocks, which it was thought would
bring case and confidence. What credit this
r,smur was entitled TO we shall know to-day.
Whether the Government intcrteres or
not. Ike storm probably nearly exhausted
itself Yesterday. The bankers and banks
seem to have suspended to await the Suosl-
dcncc OF the panic with the view OF ilndins
Oh! he real condition OF things.

PLATT's letter states that he has no doubt
if an attempt were made by the Virginia
Republicans to nave what are called "Colo-

succeed. This is an assertion that may be

by its authority. Has it come to this, that

from such men as PLATr and his followers
il cannot be considered very firmly establish

ton of the Presidential submission to the
will of such party as the Radical party Of
Virginia imply? We know General GRANT
has been much under the influence Of very

"In Harmony with the Government.
This is Mr.. HrGHEs's text. He preaches
for hours upon it. But it is susceptible OF
the brietest explanation. 1t means that we
must be in harmony with the party i'll pow
or. with its influence, with It's offices, ana
with its emoluments. That is the logic OF
being in harmony with the Government, ac-
cording to Mr.. HUGuEs. He is in harmony
with il. and would have been if SEYMOUR
and BLAIR had triumphed. lie had secured
his berth on the Democratic ship at the New
York convention, and declined to occupy 1t
only when the Democratic party was de-
featcd.
What enchantment has come over Mr..
HrGHEs that he has abandoned his old
Republican, Democratic principles, which
were alleged to be imperishab!e: No mat
ter what purity triumphed, those principles,
in the devotion of their followers, survived,
and those followers considered it diSloyal to
desert them on any account. The man VINO
abandoned them was called traitor; and
his trcachcrv was all the greater ii 1t hap
pcncd when the party supporting them was
in adversely.
But now principles arc nothing with Mr..
HrGuEs, except they be- the principles OF the
loaycs and the fishes. "If YOU want TO have
Il good time" join the Government, says he.
That is. join the Administration party. NO
other proof OF loyalty $50 called) to the
Government will Dc considered satisfactory
by him. We are fighting the Government
unless we join the Virginia Radical party
and vote for him. Where, then, is freedom
Of opinion: Where the right to object TO
men and stand by principles? TO censure
the measures Of Il party or al Administration
and stand by the Constitution! This is the
freedom of republican liberty its opposite
is the tyranny OF dcspotism.
Are we here in Virginia not quiet and
law-abiding citizens? Have we not obcyed
the laws and faithfully paid tie partial and
odious taxes imposed upon Us? Is tins
fighting the Government? Must we sur.
render the rlTnl 10 cclsuIc vi dplio'c pun
lie measures and public men, or be de-
nounccd as fighting the Government? AS
lon" as we have the forms OF rcpublicaDi>m
in our Government the people of Virginia
will exercise the liberty of criticsinS the
acts of public men and the full right of cleo
ton in bcstowiug their votes upon the men
they deem most capable, most faithful to the
Constitution and tie country. When that
liberty is taken from Us repubcanism will
be dead and Dir. HUGnES's idea will prevail.
Every man who objects to the measures of
the king will be "tishting the Government"
At present the white people of Virginia
will vote against. him, his opinion that that
act is " fighting the Government" notwith-
standing

that this young Master GRANT has thefeiiclty

1t is further announced that the President
while in the performance of this Interesting

Cooke, Esq, at his palatidl residence, Chel-
ten Hill" Untimely visit it must have been,
in view of the grief Of the host. The ele-

The Financial Disturbances.

I've urge sound business men and all
who wish 10 avoid disaster 10 keep out Of
Wall street. Let the gamblers alone. No
Great harm will come from their ups and

country is full of rotten railroad schemes,
and the banks that have left their legitimate
business to carry the bonds must take the
Consequences"
We said yesterday that owing to the pre-
sent currency OF the country there would
not be Il general panic nor wide-s pread
disaster. There is another protection for
the country against such consequences; and
that is in the suspension Of specie payments.
Even with our present currency, if the
banks paid specie, men would be tempted
20 demand specie merely to profit by any
turn in affairs that might put specie up,
while many would have a feeling of distruSt
that would impel them to greed for gold
Now, however, as nobody can get gold
save by buying it, nobody wants it, and
everybody is satisfied with the bank notes.
so trade will go along, few will feel the
effects of the present embarrassments to the
extent Of failure save those Immediately i'm.

likely within short time things will bc so
