JAY Cooke and Co.'s Estate.

The PHILADELPHIA Press of Friday,
explaining the delay in the payment
of dividends to the creditors of Jaw
Cooke Il Co., says, after referring to
the necessary time required to obtain
list ofapproved claims of the trustees !:
And now again came up serious
question which had been overlooked
It was originally supposed the individ-
ual debts were so small in amount that
practically no distinction would have
to be made in the account but that all
the funds coming into the trustees
hands could be applicable to the debts
OF the firm. Latterly, however, claims
to very large amount against the in
dlvldual estates of the partners have
been brought to the trustees and COM
mittee's notice, which render necessary
thorough separation of the accounts
of the amounts realized from the differ
ent classes of assets. The most notable
example of these claims on the funds
in bank, on the ground that they are
liable in the first instance as individ-
ual assets.is one made by the Firs' Ma
tional Bank of Washington, of which
several members Of the firm were
shareholders. Mr.. Stanton, the Re-
ceiver of that bank. claims that under
the National Banking act Mr. Cooke
and his partners are liable to contribute
out of their individual property ratably
to the losses of the bank, according to
the amount of their stock.
Now, as the cash on hand, some
seven or eight hundred thousand dol
lars, is IN great measure the product
OF individual security, and is, therefore,
ct course, primarily applicable to in
dividual debts. such as this is claimed
to be by the bank, the firm creditors
can at this stage Of the proceedings
only receive dividends from firm funds.
This marsballing of the assets which
is thus required will probably necessi-
tate appeals to the court upon several
points, as, owing to the fact that in
.a'slduai securities are in many cases
pledged for firm debts, considerable
.dltlculty arises In making the discrimi-
nation. Whatever unavoidable DELAY
there has been, however, it cannot be
urged that there has been any conceal
'ment OF the condition of the estate.
No one could be more courteous in re-
ceiving or frank In answering INQUIRIES.
nor more ready to throw open the &C.
counts TO the inspection of creditors
than Mr.. Lewis, who acts under the
direction of the committee.

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS. New
York, September l7.-Accordiug to
accounts IN late London Journals, the
Austrian North Pole expedition was
frozen in at the north point of Nova
Zembla, in August, 1872, aud was
driven in a norhwesterly direction with
the ice. The crew worked FIVE months
In vain during the summer Of 1878, to
free the ship. In the autumn of that
year, north of'the SOth degree of lati-
tude, unknown land was discovered,
whose boundary-line north ana west
was not to be seen. A thin line was
explored. in sledges, from the 9th Of
March to the 4th of May, 1874. up to
the SD degree. In honor of the En-;
peror Of Austria, this was named Franz
Joseph Land. There were no signs
of animal life. On the 10Th Of MAY,
1874, the crew left the ship Tegethohf,
In four sledges, and after travelling,
ninety-six days, reached Nova Zembla
where they met with some Russian
seamen, and were taken to Wardoe, in
Norway, after undergoing iudescriba-
BILE suffering and privation.

AUSTIN, Jan. Gath, 1874.
J. W. Downs. Esq.
DEAR SIR-Wc are going on with busi.
ness apparently faster than has been the
custom for tile last few sessions; and as it
now seems To me the session will be short
The Departments are considerably out OF
order, and the investigations will con.
sumo much time. The prospect for
money in the Treasury is not good, and
there are many warrants ou, which sell
at 20 cents ON the dollar. No doubt
Radical Office holders saved to themselves
the difference between the present price
of the warrants and lar.
The Constitutional Amendments will
finally pass the House to-day, and be in
fore, n, xt week.
The election for L. $. Senator comes
off on Tuesday, the 29ih, and the race is
evidently between Reagan and ThrOck-
morton. Flournoy, DeMorse and Maxey
are also candidates.
lThe scarcity of money will be against
the Constitutional Convention, and will,
think, induce the Legislature to amend
and correct abuses, ~ as to do away
with the necessity of oao altogether.
Very Respectfully,
GEO. b. ERATm.
