NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, October 3l.-J. I. &
w. H. Daley, 40 New street, in the
Southern shipping trade are among
the latest failures announced.
A Washington special says Secre-
tary Richardson will soon give place
to Governor Morgan, or some one else
if he is not eligible. The change, it is
stated, will be agreeable both to the
President and present Secretary.
Mrs. Anna E. Park, of Brooklyn, who
from the moment of Lucette Meyers
arrest, on the charge of completely in
the Goodrich murder, interested her.
self in her behalf, and took her to her
own house after her discharge, has
made public Lucette's confession, of
which the following is summary:
Lucette was followed home, nStan-
ton street, New York, by Goodrich,
and he frequently visited her after
ward. Roscoe and Beach also visited
Lucette. Kate Stodard called several
times on Lucette to learn whether
Goodrich visited her and manifested
jealousy. Roscoe was also jealous and
threatened to kill Goodrich. One
night Lucette and Beach went to
Goodrich's house, entered with false
keys and hid in closet. Kate StOd-
ard and Goodrich entered soon after
ward and quarreled for some time.
Then Lucette heard shot and three
or four more in rapid succession. She
burst from the closet and saw Roscoe,
pistol in hand, leaning over Goodrich,
and Kate wiping blood from his fore
head. Roscoe threatened to shoot
Lucette, but let her off on her swear
ing secresy. She then wandered home.
She does not know how Roscoe enter
ed the house.
The feeling in Wall street this morn
ing is not good, although there was
no apparent inclination towards a
panic. Prices of stock are lower.
Private advices from Havana state
that in the recent storm, three Span
ish gun boats were lost at Guatemala
and two at Batabano, and one at
Sagua la Grande.
A Washington special says further
conversation with the President by
members of Congress, confirms the
statement already telegraphed that he
will favor the issue of new bonds
bearing low rate of interest, convert
able into greenbacks at the will of the
holder.

Other Failures.

Verify, moneyed men stand on slip
perry places. No name is secure. Hoyt,
Sprague & Co., of Providence, than
whom no business firm stood higher,
have failed and entailed endless suf-
fering in Rhode Island and its fac
tories. Sprague of this firm was re-
puted to be the wealthiest man in
Rhode Island, and one of the wealth
lest in New England. Ten millions of
dollars was said to number his coin.
The financial storm seems to have
spread wider than supposed at first.
From the stock room it has gradually
extended itself to the solid industry of
the country. Mill after mill is gradu-
ally succumbing; factory after factory
is hauling in sail in order to weather the
storm. Currency is daily becoming
scarcer, and consequently the market
for manufactured goods is less. This
factory now discharges 500 operators;
that reduces its days to three or four Of
the seven. Others stop entirely; the
end no man knows.
Absolute want - starvation will
stand in many homes in the east this
winter, and the suffering will be terri
BILE if the season be as severe rs was
the last. Crime will be rampant, for
men thrown out of work must eat; and
they prefer to steal than starve.
The government should immediate
ly take steps to remedy, as much
as in it lies, the difficulty which
is now upon the nation. Large guam
titles Of paper and coin, $50, 600, 900, lie
idle in the treasury. This should at
once be put upon the market, and
made to relieve the wants of a circu-
lating medium.
A lesson should be learned from 1873
and its financial history. 1t is this
improvement carried on with a specu-
lative impulse, and not because the
needs of the country demand it, is sui
cidial. Railroads should not be built
faster than the country demands, and
they should not be built when they
withdraw from this country to an
other money. Where country or
State can build railroads or make any
other improvement from the capital
of the State itself, then all is well; ;
when it is necessary to go to foreign
lands and sell bonds at enormous dis
counts that roads may be built through
unhabitated regions, then the country
must look out for a crash, and crash
that will interfere with every and all
classes of people.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior affirmed the de-
cisiOn Of the Commissioners of the
General Land office, rejecting the
application of Robert Burnett and
Tomas Sanchez, to purchase under
the seventieth section of the act Of
July 23d 1868, certain large tract of
land excluded from the Rancho Sausal
Redondo, Y Guapita, contiguous to
the city of Los Angeles. The claim
thus finally defeated, covers 25, 900
acres of valuable land, which is oc-
cnpied by hundreds of settlers, who
will now be able to acquire a title
under the pre-emption laws.

gers.

The letter and resolutions concern
ing freights and passengers, sent by
the Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce, have produced some effect,
though not all that has been desired.
The Chronicle in reply says:
We are in receipt of communica-
tion from the Secretary of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, COM
planning that the published manifests
of freight and lists of passengers from
the southern coast counties do not give
Los Angeles its proper credit. The
Los Angeles people must see that the
omission complained of is not the fault
of the papers, but of the pursers of the
steamers. Ii they will furnish the
manifests in the way suggested we
shall be glad to print them.
This is at variance with letter from
the steamship company, read at the
last meeting, which asserted that the
pursers of their steamers, in the mani
tests, credited each town with its ex-
ports. The Chronicle, though, prom
ises to remedy the wrong in the future,
which is something gained.
The Bulletin does partial justice and
Jumps all the freight received per ,the
Pacific Mail under the head of "San
Diego, Anaheim Landing, San Pedro,
and Santa Barbara
The CdU, in sublime indifference,
passes by the resolutions without even
a respectful salutation. and in its
manifests of the Orizabas cargo cred
its all to "San Diego, etc."
The Alta publishes the resolutions,
and speaks thus concerning them,
which is a lordly way of doing, but it
does not remedy the credit. IT, as it
says, Los Angeles is the metropolis of
Southern California, and it is just as
easy to credit its freight properly as to
San Diego, why in common sense JUS
tice is it not done.
In accordance with a request from
Los Angeles, we print some resolu-
tions adopted by the Chamber of Com
merce of that town, requesting that
the exports and imports of Whining
ton be published separately from those
of San Diego; but it was scarcely
necessary. Californians of intelligence
generally, and especially business
men, fully appreciate the fact that Los
Angeles is the chief centre of business
in the southern part of the State, and
will probably remain so until trans.
continental railroad changes the con-
dition of affairs. San Diego's great
ness is prospective, that of Los Angeles
is an actuality; and there is room for
both to expand.
The Examiner passes by the subject
in silence; it publishes no manifests,
and is not interested. But the Post,
true to justice and to truth, publishes
the manifest as it ought to be pub
lished. 1t states the port from which
goods were received, and also the name
of the consignee and the goods con-
signed. This act Of justice should
result in large subscription list to
this paper from Los Angeles city and
County

VIRGINIA, New, October 81.
The ninth anniversary of the adj
mission of Nevada into the Union was
celebrated in this city and Gold Hill
to-day with great pomp by the
societies of Pacific Coast Pioneers and
Veterans of the Mexican War. The
procession formed on B street at noon,
and after marching through the prin-
cipal streets of the city, proceeded to
Gold Hill. Judge Will Campbell
delivered brief oratiOn. The stars
and stripes floated from all the public
buildings, stores, hosting works and
private residences. The celebration
concluded this evening with grand
ball at the Odd Fellows hall.
AUSTIN, Oct. 81,
Wonderfully rich developments
have been made in the past few days
in the Belmont mine. At a depth of
400 feet, ledge was struck with apay
streak four feet in width, the assays
from which gave results OF from $1,000
to $500 per ton. Mr.. Cassell, the
Superintendent, arrived in town to-
night, on his way to San Francisco.
He reports the vein increased in
width to nine feet, without any signs
of wall yet, and steadily increasing
in richness. The mine is open to the
public. No secresy has been observed.
The strike is undoubtedly the richest
ever made in eastern Nevada.
RENO, Oct. 81.
The total number Of buildings burnt
is 80, principally business houses. The
loss is estimated at fully Sl5O,OOO, with
very little insurance. Probably $20,-
900 will cover the amount. Property
to-day has changed hands for more
money than was asked for it with the
buildings before the fire. The mer-
chants now propose to build fire-proOf
stores as soon as the material can be
obtained. Several brick and stone
buildings have been purchased at
Washoe City to be taken down and
rebuilt here.

That "Put Up Job"


Ed. HERALD.-A mornings paper
intimates that the award Of contract
for printing the Constitution and By
Laws for the Chamber of Commerce,
was "put up job" Does this journal
imagine that the quality of work is
not taken into consideration when
contracts are awarded? Can he see
no difference between the "ancient
and fish-like" styles and the much
worn materials of the other papers,
and the new, fresh and brilliant,
types and mechanism of the HERALD?
In all difference to the Mirror office,
whose proprietors are first-class work

believe there was no intention in the

that the work was given TO the HER

penditure and judicious application Of
two-thirds of he land grant of 1856, and
having made an honest effort to construct
the road from St. Croix River to Lake
Superior, the last link in this chain OF
roads contemplated by that grant, and
having already completed portion of the
same, and having taken care Of the lands
and prevented trespasses upon them, and
continued to treat them as still the true
property of the State, and the people of
that section having located and purchased
Government lands at double the usual
Government price, in view Of the grant
and the building of the roads, and having
long and patiently waited for such a con
summation, it would be unjust, illiberal
and unfair to the State, to now seek to
diyest her Of the title to the remaining
portion # this grant, even if Congress has
the legal right (Which we deny,) and, if
necessary, we insist that Congress ought
to pass law, at once and without hcsita--
ton, renewing this portion of the grant
to the State, that the title may be beyond
any question and the road speedily com
pleted. 4
Iksozved, That our State is most favor
ably situated in respect to water commu-

ties for commercial Intercourse ought TO
be prudently guarded and improved to
the fullest possible extent, in order to af-
ford the readiest and cheapest means of
transportation of products, in permanent
competition with rail road carriage. To
this end We congratulate the State, upon
the generous ASSUMPTION by the general
government of the Fox and Wisconsin
River Improvement, that promises at an
early day,to connect the Mississippi river
and the great lakes, and we most fully
endorse the now we'll established policy
at the present administration in keeping
clear from unnecessary obstruction, the
navigation of the Mississippi river, and
we especially commend that private en-
terprise assisted by government aid
which has resulted in the construction of
:he Sturgeon bay Canal, that 50 material

dangers OF our lake navigation.
