The Pacific Gould as Against

ORDER IN WARSAW.
WALL STREET,


The excitement pro iuced by the election in the
Union Pacific Railroad continued to-day. That
eminent engineer who had so thoroughly under
mined the substrarum OF the Erie Railroad as to
become Its President, having planted his first line
OF decentralization about the Union Pacific Rail-
road, was hailed with honors. The street. as il
will be remembered, Is not particular about its
idols, and this first success seems to have cap
tured them completely. In other words, they are
either afraid Of his bold conspiracy or are thank
tul that even he has come In to change the dun
current of speculation where no profit has been
for months, into the chances of meeting current
expenses. 1t is not with them now 'Under which
king, eZonians'-whether it be Vanderbilt, Dan
Drew or Jay Gould. Their motto is,
GIVE US ACTIVITY OR GIVE US DEBT.
This Is the average feeling OF the street. But the
HERALD has a higher mission to perform. AS an
instructor and guide to the people we are compelled
to speak in palmer terms than men Influenced
by connection affilIatiOn dare to speak. Thus
the writer feels compelled by an instinct of con-
science to warn unadvsed investors not to touch
anything connected with the Union Pacific Rail-
road since Jay Gould has shown himself powerful
enough to dictate its direction. The argument Is
made that Jay Gould had perfect right to buy
controlling influence in the stock of the road, and
so control its election. OF course he had. But
how did Jay Gould acquire that meansa Was Erie
bled to furnish the means Of infusion in Union
Pacifcf AS we said before. the street dare not
speak its indignation. Jay Gould has settled
upon 1t as an immense influence, against which 1t
appears to be powerless to contend. The writer
interviewed Sidney Dillon, the new President Of
the Union Pacific, this afternoon, and the most he
could say was that
MR.. GOULD IS POwERLEsS FOR EVIL.
Mr.. Dillon is, no doubt, above reproach but the
Credit MOpier, OF which Mr.. Dillon was mem
Der, gave the greatest reproach to the country 1t
ever suffered. 1t Is not the purpose here to ques-
ton either Mr.. Dllon's uprightness or honesty;
but If he were deceived in Credit Mobilier,
why may he not be liable to decep-
ton here2 Cakes Ames was undoubtedly
a capable man, and knew where to put his money
where 1t would do most good, but Cakes Ames was
a child to Jay Gould. II the question is asked,
where has Jay Gould put his money! we can only
answer, read and be instructed.
STOCKS.
Outside Of the discussion which grew out Of this
thing there nothing or special interest on the
street, the market being without particular
features responding only to the action OF brokers.
1t may be said that this present market is purely
brokers market, all movements Of any conse-
quence whether bull or bear, waiting upon the
action OF Congress.
The following were the highest and lowest prices

The New York correspondent OF tn 2
Cincinnati Commercial writes:
"Thc three richest men IN America arc
YIN. B. Astor, A. I. Stewart and Com
modarc Vanderbilt, all residents OF New
Yor. city. As.or's wealth is mostly !
real estate and its revenue; Vanderbilt's
is mostly in railway stock and its divI-
dcnds; Stewards in goods, houses, stores
factories, lands and stocks.-The agSrc-
gate wealth Of each one Of them Is sup
posed 10 be somewhere between seventy
five and one hundred million dollars,
which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they cannot tell them
selves within a million or two. Those
who know most about their affairs put
the figures highest, aEd they say that the
income tax return of few years ago,
which showed each of them to be worth
between twenty and thirty millions,ga
no proper idea of their real wealth. As
tor lives unostcntaiiousiy; Vanderbilt
lives in three story brick house on a
third.class street ; and Stewart lives in a
marble palace on Fifth avenuc, more
magnificent than any other residence on
the American continent, aud equaied by
few in any of the greet cities in Europe.
Astor and Vanderbilt are New Workers
by birth; Stewart is native of the
north of Ireland. Astor is a large, heavy
man of seventy, with: strong features
and a rubicund face like parchment,
and gives the impression Of being hard
up; Vanderbilt is q tai, slim, handsome,
proud looking man of nearly eighty,
straight as an arrow. Astor has heirs
to his estate; Vanderbilt has children to
whom he can leave his fortune; but
Stcwar. is chiIdiess.-Astor'sp public be-
netac,ions are confined to something like
couple of hundred thousand dollars,
which he gave to the Aston Library, and
the two golden candiesticks, nine feet
high, which he recently gave 10 Trinity
church. Vanderbilt has never made any
public bcnefactions, excepting steam
ship TO the government during the war,
