was elected president aud MI. Henry
Clews is now fiat on his back in The
midst of II panic quite equal to the
ono which he had conjurcu up in the
emergency Of MI. Grccluy's election.
The logic OF all this goes to show.
even putting the matter IN its most
favorable light, how much Mr.. Henry
Clews knew of what he was talking
about, and how much nonsense NAV
be uttered by bnrhkrr-politicians who
hold the government deposits and
dcscant upon the unSound financial
views of their political opponents.
The fact is, that JAY Cooke and

Plague In Shreveport

Tho appalling epidemic which has
been prevailing Tor three week III tho
doomed city OF Shreveport, for mo.
lIgnancy Is unparalleled IN Tho MS
tory of this country. From tho
subiotned dispatch, it VIII DO seen
,h.i there is neither abatement nor
modification of the frightfni disease:
suREvsponT, Sept. 29.-Within
the iastfour days. several nfthc most
p%romincnt aud useful citizens OF
Shreveport have fallen victims to the
epidemic. The population has been
tearfully ihiuued out by sickness aud
death. We no longer have funerals.
The hcarses, followed by II or two
carriages, dash through the streets
like a section OF artillery in battle
seeking q position ; a few more are
drummcd up, the cotiins showed III u
hearse aud driven rapidly to the
cemetery. This Is the case even with
the most prominent citizens. The
Howard Association have opcned the
Orphans Asylum, and are feeding
about two thirds of the resident pop
ulation. There = fewer deaths and
fewer new cases. because there are
fewer people. Tho phvsicians ap-
pointed q committee last week TO i'll
vestigatc the origin of tho epidemic,
aud by evidence It has been traced
showing beyond question that the
fever was imported from Cuba.
Doctors Chaplin, Drums and David
sou. who are hero from New Orleans,
are fully satisfied on this point.
The Shreveport Tunes Of fo-mor-
row morning will contain the follow
ing appeal, with the Howard Assoc

future. SO far it has been in all
material respects totally unlike any
previous MONETARY disturbance in the
financial history of the country, and
it is dcvoutcd to be hoped that it
will remain exceptional to the end.
1t did not originate in a general or
local scarcity of money. Currency
has been more abundant during the
last sixty days than it has been at
any time in the last twelve months.
Tho money market has been quoted
easier, aud loans have been more
readily negotiable at low rates; and.
moreover, the millions of currency
paid out by the Treasury Department
for bonds excrted no appreciate
effect in allaying excitement, as it
would have done if a scarcity or i'll
suficicncy of currency had been the
cause of the trouble. II is in no wise
attributable to overtradiug in the de-
partnents of legitimate business.

So far not one leading commercial

This circumstance sufficiently attests
not only the solvcncy of our COM
