Emerging from the Crash.

1t has been reported that the Wall street lead
ers were pretty much all seriously crippled by
the financial panic, bnt this report is nov de-
MED. Ii is stated now that Cornelius Wander
bilt, from whose estate the newspapers have
suLtraeted from as 900 900 to SO 900 900 by the
crash, has, on the contrary, kept all he had of
his $50 O0O 600, and bought stocks at so low a
rate when they were down, that he will by
June be worth $50 900 900. He expects to in
crease his pile to a round hundred millions in
hve years. Daniel Drew has been set down as
bankrupt by the panic, but he has not lost
money enough to hurt him. He has way of
protesting that he is ruined when he wants to
make settlements, OF be let OFF easily. His for
tune has, perhaps, experienced a shrink3ge of
half smillion, but be is held 10 be worth at least
eight millions yet Jay Gould. another of the
reputtd elaine ducks, F" Is only playing shrewd
game, it is asserted, by ostensibly retiring from
'tbe street" in order to avoid legal respons-
bility in his uncomfortable complications with
non-paying New Jersey Southern, and other
railway interests. He Is believed, however, to
be good to-day for ten millions. Henry "
Smith, the new operator in Wan street,
who undertook to beard the old veter-
ans in their den, has been a sufferer

superior tactics but he has 81 600 900 TO s. O0O-
600 with which TO start out again on a ne II ght
with the aid Of some hardly earned experience
to give him discretion. Alden b. StOckweH,
2nother young aSpirsnt for the leadership of
Wall street. is one of the crippled ones OF the
Exchange, but he was aimed before the panic
by his operations in Pacific Mail, in which little
bout he lost some 81 100000 in three months,
and retired to a back-seat. W it'll a small nest

other of the heavy operators of Wall street,
was hurt to the extent of ST. ,OO) by the
panic, but saved about the same amount.
Claffiin & Co., the dry goods merchants, wea-
thered the storm by getting an extension from
their creditors, and selling largely for cash at
reduced prices. 1t is noticed that those appar-
emily crushed by the panic have shown remark
able recuperative powers, and never has so

that the appointment of General Cushing as

question, and cOnvoked on this very Cuban
question the conference at Ostend. Then,

tilt with England's Chief Justice demonstrates.

General W. w. Dedrick, who some
years since was United States claim
agent in our city. has been getting into
a muddle at Vicksburg, as appears from
the following from the Herald of the
10Th instant;
The case of General w. W. DERRICK,
against whom charge of perjury was
preferred, some time ago, by the Tax
Payers League, was brought up before
Justice Mann yesterday, for hearing.
Mr.. Dedrick, it is alleged, is surety on
the bonds Of sundry officials, and the
charge of perjury is based upon the pre-
sumption that be swore falsely as to the
value Of his earthly possessions as they
appear upon the assessment rolls. Mr..
Dedrick is surety on the bond Of A. w.
Dorsey. Circuit Court Clerk, for $1,000,
and also on the bond Of Peter Crosby,
as Tax. Collector, for $4,000. His
assessment in the county Of Warren
for realty, is $1,000, and for personally,
$500. On this property there is a
deed Of trust, made by DERRICK and hls
wife. to secure an Individual note of W.
W. DERRICK for S327s, which would leave
his uuencumbered property considerably
less in value than the amount for which
he is surety. In his defense Mr.. Dedrick
claims that at the time he went on the
bond OF Peter Crosby be held about $780,
600 in county and city bonds and that
the law does not require real estate secu-
rity on the bond Of the Tax Collector.
He also claims that be owns property
near Memphis, Tenn, to the amount Of
$1,000, and in Henderson county, Ky, to
the amount Of $4,000. Several witnesses
we're examined as to the value of
the property owned by Mr.. Ded-
rick, and the hearing Of the case was
prolonged far into the evening The
Tax-Psyers League was represented in
the prosecution by Colonel Horace II.
Miller and Major Magruder, and the de-
tense by ex-Attorney General Morris,
George K Birohett, Esq. aud General
G. Gordon Adam.

of the powers lodged by law with the

more than determine whether a site
selected and recommended by them met
the requirements of the acts and the

Annual Meeting of the StOckh0ld-

1
We copy the following from the Rich
mond Enquirer Of the 9Th instant:
The annual meeting of this company
was held at their office yesterday even
ing. The report of the President exhib-
tied marked progress of its business
| during the past year. showing a decided
increase of new business, as compared
with the previous year, in spite of the
disadvantage of the recent financial
pressure.
1t was also shown that its ratio Of
expense was decreasing-its assetsmuch
increased--its risks carefully selected,
and its success permanency, of which
all Virginians may justly boast.
The following directors were elected
for the ensuing term: VIM. B. 1saacs,
John Enders, d. j. Hartsook, j. G. Will
liams, W. H. Palmer, Parker Campbell,
G. H. Perrow, George S. Palmer, j. j.
Hopkins, j. E. Edwards, w. G. Taylor
and w. c. Darlington. The directors
then assembled and reelected the old
officers.
The assets of this company amount to
81, $50 900, aud it is worthy of full conf
ucHSci having paooOu lnoPcStiOu VI al
surance departments North, East and
West, besides being managed by men
known to the people as of strict integ-
rity, prudent foresight and frst-class
business capacity. The course of this
company has always been conservative,
and its chief aim has been protection
absolute security to the sacred trusts
committed to its charge. and we believe
their trusts will always be duly guarded.
The company is working from Maine
TO California, thereby equalizing its NOR
tally and risks, and is doing a prosper
GUS business. It is represented in this
State by our worthy and energetic
young fellow citizen, Captain 81. II.

Another Version Of the Affair.

ST. Louis, April 22.-The Globes
special gives very different version OF
the affair. 1t says Colonel King White
in a speech to the colored troops said
he would capture the State House with
out regard to Governor Baxter, the Fed
eral troops or the devil. The Colonel
remounted his horse at the City Hall,
rode down to the crowd and ordered
King White to stop that noise. White
replied: "D-nyou, command these
troops"
Thereupon White sItroops Immediately
commenced firing at Colonel Rose, evil
IDENTIFY attempting his assassination, but
resulting in the killing of David Shall
and wounding W. A. Crawford, one of
Baxter's officers, both in the Anthony
House. Brooks forces we're all inside
the State-house grounds, in accordance
with Colonel Roses request several days
ago. Col. Rose is unhurt, and behaved
with the greatest GOODNESS, while the
organized mob, which did fire, dropped
their guns and scattered as fast as the
citizens, who were on the street in the
vicinity of the Anthony House.
Colonel Rose has requested Mr..
Brooks troops not to fire gun, bat to
wait until he had finished dealing with
the insurgents, and after that if neces-
sary the troops supporting the legal
State government could finish them.

In some districts of India it is the
custom to hold what is known as a
devils dance. when strings are passed
through the flesh Of young men on both
sides of the body. The dancers some
times die from their injuries. There is
a resemblance between this custom and
that Of the Sioux Indians, who at inter
walls have feasts and dances, in which
Young men who aspire to be warriors
have strings Of buffalo hide passed
through the flesh on both sides Of the
breast, the ends Of the string being at
tached to a cross pole, or TO buffalo
skulls. The would-be braves must dance
without food or drink until the flesh
gives way and they are liberated from
torture. The two customs may have
had the same origin.
