THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. The Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun says: =
THE opinion is generally adhered to that at
last the worst is over The country banks are
yet, however, to be heard from. 1t does not
seem that so far as the large cities are concern
ed that any business interests have been dam
aged by the recent collapses. But IN many OF
the smaller towns it is copjectured that the
banking houses have more or less of their funds
locked up in the hands of Jay Cooke & Co, land
the other large houses which have fallen. If
those are not able to sustain the losses entailed
upon them, the consequences of the great fail
ures, which have taken place will be the most
disastrous and far reaching. No one here now
looks for any speedy resumption Of Jay Cooke
l. Co., and the creditors generally are becom-
ing quite uneasy and are beginning to fear that,
10 the language of the late Fisk, their money
has gone where the woodbine twineth. "

ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER q, 1878.
Political.

In consequence of a change of appointments,
RI. Daniel, esq.,, Conservative candidate for
Attorney General, will not be able to speak
here on Thursday night, as heretofore anuouc-
ed, but will address the people of Alexandra
at later day in the canvass.
The Washington Chronicle having denied
that Col. Mosby wrote letter to the Postmas-
ter General requesting him to revoke all ap-
pointments made at his request if, IN his opln-
ion the patronage thus bestowed placed him
under any obligations to support Hughes, the
Warrenton Index says: Nov all We have to
say about the matter is this that We read the
letter ourselves and know it was mailed to MIR.
Creswell, and as ten days have elapsed and it
has not been returned it must have reached
him. We also know that COL Mosby has writ
ten similar letter to Gen. Grant that if these
appointments were made with expectation
even that he would support Hughes that he
desired their revocation. He further told the
President that he thought these appointments
were made in consideration of his support Of
President Grant in the last Presidential can
vass."
The Warrenton Index is informed that Mr.
Plat and Maj. R. H. Carter have gone to New
York for the purpose of raising money to carry
on the campaign in Virginia. The Index adds
LET them bring all the money they can gel
hold of to Virginia, and it will not affect the
result of the election. There isn't money
enough in Wall street to buy up the people Of
Virginia. All their work will be loves labor
lost.
Accordiug:to the Fairfax News, Judge Cock
Grille, in the course of his remarks at Fairfax
Court House, on Monday last, upon receiving
the nomination of the Conservative Conven.
ton for the House OF Delegates, said that if be
should be returned to seat in the next Legs
lature, he should vote for convention to re-
wise the Constitution, which, he thought, un-
suited in many respects to our present wants
and condition.
The Warrenton Index in replying to Mr..
Platt's letter in reference to Col. Mosby's
Federal appointees says: "Our information in
reference to Patt's demand for the dismissal
of Col. Mosby's appointees was derived from a
gentleman just from Washington, who received
his information from person connected with
the Postofdce Department.
Ex-Gov. Smith, who has just returned to
bis home in Fauquie1, brings back words of
good cheer from Southwest Virginia, where he
has been addressing the people in behalf of the
Conservative State ticket.
1t is announced that Samuel ]. Morrow has
been appointed local route agent at Gordons-
vile, Va, Oh the recommendation of COL R.
w. Hughes.

Western hogs that there were packed in Canada
and our Eastern cities to the number that was
backed at the various packing points IN the
West, and we nov expect to see the number for
the coming season reach fully Cox 900, and we
expect to see them made fat enough to weigh as
heavy us any equal number of hogs have ever
weighed heretofore. We expect 10 see TINS re-
suit because it will be the only course that the
farmers can take for getting rid of a goodly part
of their corn supply at something like living
prices and while we do not expect 10 see an
over supply of pork we do not believe it will be

II advance upon this subject now without,

Federal power to construct this work. In the
first place it comes within the exception Of
works, national and necessary, to execute add
mitted powers of peace and Of war; and in the
second place I regard the question Of lutcruaI
improvements by the Federal Government as
settled by time, by repetition Of the exercise of
the power, and by the late Internal war; aud in
the third place, it is too vital TO Virginia for
her longer to hesitate, while other States, North
and South, are, and have been proi;lug by the
exercise of the power.
