Panic Notes.

President Grant is opposed to an eS-
ira session of Congress on account OF
the financial situation, and President
Grant is right. 1t would not only take
time and be costly, but the chances OF
any good results from such meeting
are certainly predetermined. An extra
session of the Legislature was demand
ed Immediately after the big fire, last
November. 1t was called, lasted thirty
DAYS, and the only law of relief which
was passed has since been declared I'M
constitutional. A similar result would
be possible, if not probable, at Wash
ington, should Congress meet at this
time-BOStOn Globe.

following large manufactures stopped

Co.. carriage and saddlery hardware ;
Mallory, Wheeler & Co., lock MANU-

This action was owing to the stringen-

goods being countermanded. A large
number of men are thrown out of en-
ployment.
1t is not necessary to decide just how
much gold should be i'll the country be-
fore formal resumption, nor how long
it will be before that amount will be
accumulated. The first and only thing
now suggested is that the Government
should set its face in the direction of
specie payment by making Il prudent
but resolute attempt to substitute gold
for its own notes.-Neu York Times.
As matter of public interest and
honor, as Il means of immediate relief
and permanent security and prosperity,
we demand an immediate resumption

Condition of Jay Cooke and the Wash

Washington Special to the Boston Herald Sat.
urday.
The statement of Jay Cooke & Co.,
made this morning, and the report OF
the receiver of the First national bank
of this city, made this evening, have
created Il very deep interest here.
where so many depositors of both con-
Germs reside. Although the former is
tiattering on its face, and the average
of the latter promises about 80 cents on
the dollar, depositors are very despond-
ent, and do not believe that they will
realize more than p cents on the dol
lar, unless they take Northern Pacific
bonds and hold them for Il rise. The
fact that the government has prefer
red lien for SlS7 900, for which. by
some ineXplicable reason, they had not
dollar of security, reduces the availa-
blllty of the assets very materially.
Besides, the statement of the First ma
tional shows that the bank has grossly
violated the law in loaning to JAY
Cooke & Co., or portion of its stock
holders, the enormous sum of S756. 600
TO do this it has further violated the
law by using quite all of its legal-tep-
der reserves. While these facts show
the utter desperation with which the
firm attempted to save themselves. they
provoke corresponding denunciation
from the depOsitors who have lost so
heavily, and who, from to-day's show
ing, expect to get SO little. So far as

The latest news indicates that the
country is rapidly getting over the
effects of the panic which began in
Wall street New York two weeks ago.
and from thence extended into all the
larger cities of the Union. The New
York stock exchange was re-opened
Tuesday, and the greenhackS which
the palIicStrickcn people had instinc-
lively began to hoard, are beginning
to circulate again; banks are rcsuming
regular payments where the ..suspen-
sions' first took place, and all indica-
tions are that the panic, as ii panic, is
over.
1t is the impression of good financiers
that this disturbance which has TEN
porarily at least injured the business
and prosperity of our country, might
Just az well have been contincd to the
spectators of Wall street. where it
began, had there been little more
faith and stability manifested by the
city banks and the men who give direc-
ton to the business of the country.
