WHAT WAS SAID IN WALL-sT.

A FEW CROAKERs AMONG THE ADMINISTRATION

THAT BETTER TIMES ARE coMING-THE COURSE

In no quarter were the results of the election
more thoroughly oanvassed than in wallst Democrats

spondingly depressed Every one seemed pleased
with the defeat OF Hayes and O'Brien.
Among thoughtful business men. however the material
results Of the election considered How will the
credit and securities the moral aud material prosperity
Of the country be afecedi" That was the main qnes
tion. Some OF The more partisan Administration men
shook their heads in deprecatng manner. declaring
that they entertained serious apprehensons respect

minority, however, the general tone being extremely
hopeful The Administration men believed that the
panic had been the primary OF the trouble that

who embarrassed by the recent financial crisis had
vented their indignation by voting against the ADMINS
tration believing that better measures ana an m
proved condition of affairs would come with change OF
men. cast their ballots with view to faeiatinga
change
Outside OF partisan circles the result Of the election
was considered TO be the death of Granism Buterism
Sanbornism and the other isms which had disgraced
present Administration and wrecked the Republican
party. The third term doctrine was condemned and
buried out Of sight. There idea that should

simply victory OF the people over cor
ruption and shameless government. The people
tired OF Grant and OF the consequences which he
had entailed. Homes, Republicans had combined with
the Democratic party to set aside the Administration
leaders. The Republicans would probably have pre-
ferred other method of chassing their party but
there was no alternative. II the Democratic party
considered this partisan victory they would be
seriously mistaken II the party acted judi'l3,usy

When the excitement of election day has
passed of and the ubaton over partisan victories has
subsidized. the country will turn TO the results on the
question as the great issue involved IN the elections.
Inc success Of the other political parties will
decide the question, Tor there bard-mOney
advocates In both parties aud Initiation advocates
i'm both parties. But the question will hardly
receive decisive treatment by the fag end OF Congress-
TO the new Congress mostly elected yesterday will be
relegated the duty Of providing the country with
sound currency, IL such to have within the
NEXT ten years. II is not too much TO hope that
versions will be effected those Representa-
tyes elected money fruitful has been the
agitation for honest money hitherto, and atogeth
there is little danger that tie folly und shame Re
pndation will dare O itself IN the country in

MGultOn'S statement.

New YORK, August 22-The Tribune says
in speaking OF Nluuton' 5 statement: Ccrtaluly
it is very far from justi!ying tie fears of Beech
er's frlepds or exuItant prnphcsirs Of his enc
mics. The witness who was supposed to hold
the key of the situation leaves The posture Of
affairs substantially unchanged. Thosc who
believed in Beecher's innocence before will be.
licve 10 it still Those who waited for further
developments must be content 70 wait while
longer. 1t is evident that the assallauts dis
charged their worst missiles at the opening Of
the engagement. Meanwhile the case rcmalus
before the same patient public which has fol
lowed it so long with sorrowtuI curiosity. In
credible weaknesses have been disclosed in it,
and terrible bunders have been made by the
defense at every stage of It's progress. But We
mistake the wisdom and justice OF the people
if the great preacher and beloved pastor Is con-
denlned without much stronger evidence than
L. ID. Moulton seems able to produce.
The Times refuses to publish the statement
as il caunot see that it throws auy Dew light
90 the dismal affair to which it relates.
The World says Not one item Of actual evil
dence or trustworthy evidence has been brought
forth by MouIton, which adds new difficulty or
Inconsistency to the explanation already put
forth by Bcechrr in his narrative and cross ex-
animation.
The Herald in concluding long article says:
We lain would have believed the great clergy
mar had never fallen. We would fain be.
licvc it now if we could see any possible way
by which he could escape cut Of the meshes
which bind him. Moulion, pressed to speak
by onsaughts of Buecher aud B"echer' 5 friends
has spoken at last, aud panied as we are at the
result, we caunot disregard the fact that the
Plymouth PASTORS crushed unless this terrible
witness against him can be shown TO bca mon
stcr of vlany, duplicly and aIsehnod.
The Sun says: Muuiton produces nothing
that is equivalent to Confession Of adultery
90 the part of Beccher ard bis explanation of
the matchmaking flair is not satisfactory. He
shows, however, that up to the very last mu-
nient, in fact up to July -, 1874, long after
Beecher discovered that he had been black
uaed he was writing him letters Of the most
sffectionate aud couidiug character. We do
not see that this statement will change any
bodys opinion upou the main question.
