At n prayer-mcct;ng in Brooklyn taoer-
r,cic ON saturday the Rev. Mr.. IALMAGE
paid a warm tribute to the piely OF 'Af

SOC of the day was different from that learned
in any other autumn, in the midst OF any
other commercial excitement. "Thc chiei
man connected with the defnlcations OF the
week is one of Gods picked men," This
was JAY Cooke. The reverend gentleman
went on to discourse Of the instances OF
COOKIES muniticent donations TO the cause
Of religion, and stated that ne had estaD-
liShed n summer retreat in Ohio for ministers
Of the Gospel who could not afford summer
recreation in any other place. All denoml'
nations of ministers assembled there yearly,
and were entertained at JAY COOKIES ex-
pensc. lie had gone further, and paid the
fair of impccun;ous ministers to and fro to
this retreat. ...s H ..r.-
Certainly this is greatly to the credit OF
the unfortunate banker. .....-..,. .... .#
Still it is to be regretted that their gooa
fortune, their amassinS OF millions, never
satisfy these successful bankers. They dis
card the teachings, the admirable maXlns,
OF the religion they show SO much zeal IN
sustaining, and go on craving more-niorc.
Had JAY Cooke been content, and had be
not under the stimulus of ambition to pie
up his millions without limit, entered upon
the enormous undertaking to build tue
Northern Pacific railroad, he might now he

how to dispose of. But lie was not content,
and where is he: .....-

showing great zeal in religion. DREW founded
the Drew In-titute for the education OF
Young ministers. and yet DREW is one OF the
most noted of the financial stratcSists who
deliberately scheme for commercial di'tress
and panic out of which they may make mo-
ncy. He was amongst the most conspru-
ous in the viIlainous tricks that brought on
the scenes of the "Black Friday" of Sep
TENDER 80.
Well, vel, these millionaire bankers ought
to be allowed to do all the good they choose
to do. Theirs is q life of temptation, and
they have enough to answer for.

Z. l.. STANTON, secretary Of the District
of Columbia, has been made receiver of the
bank of which II. d. COOKE was president,
and he resigns the office he held-a pretty
good one-tor better. We believe this Mr..
STANTON is son of the late Secretary OF War.
TO fill this vacancy the President appoints
RICHARD HARRINGTON, Assistant United States
Attorney for the District. 1t may be inferred
that the secretaryship is Il good Office since
it is better than that Of assistant attorney.
We can but remark upon the telictous ma
tllre of these rotations in the District. The
President, in acknowledge. the resignation
of Mr.. STANTON, trusts that in his future life
the "same marked success" will attend
him that stuck to him in the sccretaryship.
We are bound to infer that his success in
that office must have been great.

TIE SHRINK GE.-Thc fall i'll stocks IN New
York under the excitement is indeed re-
markable record. As the New York Times
SAYS, it shows among OTHER things that
..whst have long been regarded as lnvc't-
mcnt stocks have suffered more severely
than any Others. Thus. Harlem leads the
list of variations, having fallen from 29aboVc
par to 10 below. or 80 per cent. New York
Central follows with change from IS above
par TO II below, or ~ per cent. Western
Union Telegraph, in the hands, as Is geEe-
rally known, Of the FASDERpILT party, whose
'icct was believed to be to make it Il steady
ten per cent. dividcrd-paying stock, fell from
gO4 to 553, OF 81 per cent. These facts show
how little regard men ind 'r the influence OF
panic pay to the facts that are understood TO
