PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-In the Unitei States
Circuit Court bill In equity was presented on
behalf Of Jay Cooke, McCuiloch Co., Of Lon

signees Of Jay Cooke & Co., claiming balance Of

lstters Of credit issued to defendants and an 80
count was prayed for TO ascertain the exact IN
dehtedness Of N. q. Taylor Co., and that they
be decreed to pay the same 70 the London house.
The answer Of Lewis, trustee Of the Philadel-
phia arm, claimed there was not An indebtedness
TO the London house, and claimed the amount due
under letters Of credit issued 70 Taylor 4 %.
Judge CadWallsder declined 10 act until the
report q the trustees was dled.
bill was also presented on behalf Of Oliver Z.
Teakle, setting forth that he was creditor Of
Jay Cooke Go. IN nearly ~ 900; that II June
last the trustee informed him that he had funds
and would soon be able to pay dividend Of I'VE
per cent. 70 the joint creditors, and perhaps It
would be shortly increased to seven Per cent that
IN August the fruetee stated TO him that pre-
ferred claim made 70 the First National bank in
Washington, had swept all the funds FROM his
hands and rendered Il impossible 70 pay auy divi-
dend at present; wherefore he prayed that the
trustee b decreed to account fully OF tho bank
ruptis estate and Of all payments to and disburse-
ments BY him given since the estate passed into
his hands.
The court ordered the register to appoint q prb-
lie meeting under the 18th and 18th sections Of the

THE KIDNAPPING CASE.


Not only Philadelphia but the whole
country is in a tumult concerning the
kidnapping Of Charlie Ross, which oc-
CURED, now, over month ago. tap
pears from the latest news from that
vicinity that there is no more actual
hope OF his recovery than ut first. Ru-
lnors enough are afloat, but of positive
knowledge regarding The perpetrators
of the inhumau deed, there is none lnat
can be relied upon.
With c,ews less sure, aud facilities
for tracing it up less ready, our detec-
tives have hunted down murdercrs,
forgers aud other criminals, AMI done

that is commendatory to that branch
of service But in this case Of child
stealing there. has been a dilatori~
ness and uncertainty Of action that
anything else but creditable. We DO
not presume TO say where the blame
lies. No one, perhaps, in
particular should bear 1t, bu,
it is evident that activity in search
after the kidnapers has been lacking
on the part Of detectives. The case
is a difficult one we admit, and caution
is eminently necessary, to save, it may
be, the life Of the child I; but caution in
dealing with men of that character i.
not always the true policy. They
should be made to feel that not only
the law Of the land had been violated
but that the strongest feelings OF socie
~ and individuals had been outraged
and that the crime Of child-stealing I.
one that Inust be summary dealt
with.
The bereaved parents in this case
have our profoundest sympathie-, bur
it is for the safety, as well, of othel
fond and loving parents that thi,
crime should be made odious. Already
we see the effect Of the failure tosecur,

Anolher Resrrrolr Cires NAN.

{ kTRENTON, N. J. Aug. 3.-The main
reserNoir,w which supplies this city with
water, gave way this afternoon, and
sent obout 10000, coo gallons of water
over the ci,y and down Pennington
avenue with II mighty rush, filling the
cellars OF most of the houses for a
quarter Of mile. The breach is in the
south end of the reservoir and is about
twenty-five feet wide at the Top. There
was no damage done aside from the
filing OF the cellars, the drowning of
| chickens, and The earring away of
fencing. 1t was caused by leakage
! from an old pipe which was left em-
bedded in the soil when the new re-
servoir was built. All the damage,
except that done 10y the filling of the
cellars, will not exceed 81 900.

EXTRAVAGANZA IN CEA7I1Y.

Whether extravaganza is national
characteristic of ours, we do not pre-
sumo to state. But we know that il
has been charged against US and we
don't know that we have the arlu-
ment- Just at hand to refute it. We
can build more railroads at the public
expense than any nation on the globe
and pay more for them. We can
send out more geological surveying
parties into cur Territories than any
other government has ever done, bat it
has cost Us a mint Of money, almost, to
do it..
We can. and actually do, accomplish
a great many other things that might
be mentioned, that other nations do not
feel called upon to 10, and we suspect
mainly because they think they can
not afford H.
But there is one thing all civilized ma
tions feel bound to do, and that is to
support a systematic charity for the re-
lief of their poor.
Our attention has been called re.
Gently to the particular item of medi-
cal charities, and we were surprised to
find that the poorest country in the
world supports the largest medical
charity on the least money.
Ireland has population of over five
and half millions, and, considering
the poverty of the country, large per
cent. of that must be the object of
medical charity. Such is the system
adopted that no one in city or country
who is sick, but can get medical atten-
ton and medicine for the mere ask
ing for it, and when necessary, cared
for in well directed hospital. So well
managed. however, is this vast charity,
that its cost per aunum does not
amount to six hundred thousand dol
lars.
In the city OF New York, alone, We
will venture "a say, the amount OF
gratuitous medical attendance and
medicines would amount to that sum.
In Ireland, every man who engages in
the charity, receives a salary-uut a
large one, tut one many competent
men are glad to get, and he is obliged
attend TO his duty faithfully.
When we begin to feel that we can
not afford to continue eXJravasaIt in
our charities, " can adopt the system
of Ireland, and thus add some hun
dr,ds Of thousands to our national
wealth annually; Tut that day, We
4 fear, il not very near at hand, and We
only throw out these facts for the re.
Election OF The thoughtful few who
may be willing to learn a lesson, even
! from old Ireland.

and i'm cur opinion The cause Of the
other attempts at abducting childfen,
accounts of which come to us ia
various papers, is The failure to sue
cessfuly circumvcgt the abductors OF
Charlie Ross. If this state OF thiugs
goes on, what mother can feel secure
when n r Child Is at play ON the door.
step, or in the yard? How can she
trust it for II moment out of her
sight? And as for sending il
into The country for a breath Of pure
fresh air, or even allowing it to 20 to
the less frequeu'ed parts Of town, that
is something to be thought Of only
with horror.
Then, for the peace aud safety OF the
community let every energy be bent &c
secure the kidnapers, and when got
ten, if outraged society should take the
Administrations the law into its own
hands and visit a speedy and summary
justice upon the offenders, no one, We
are sure, will raise the cry of mohocfa'
cy, but will, for once, yield q willing
al legiance to King Lynch.
