WALL STREET NOTES.

THE WESTERN UNION AND THE ATLANTIC AND
PACIFIC-wABAsH AS OLIVER TWIST.
The street furnished very little sensational news
yesterday that calls for comment outside OF the
stock list The sudden transformation scene In
telegrapnc circles, whereby the General Superin-
tendent OF the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany was changed into a President $50 report
says OF the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany only exciting discussion. II is apparently
useless TO seek Information upon these points from
the iountain-hcad, as Is
THE PURPOSE OF ALL TRUE JOURNALISM.
Mr.. orion. President OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, assured the writer, upon direct
inquiry, on Tuesday, that the correspondence be-
tween himself ana Mr.. Eckert was in the hands Of
the Associated Press. and would be given out by
that body to the several papers proprietary and
subscribers connected with that institution. No
copy OF that correspondence has yet reached the
HERALD ONCE, and while MIR. Orton and Mr..
Eckert are only units in population OF
over twenty millions OF people, 1t is worth
while to inquire why, II 1t had been
sent in, as MIR. Orton positively stated 1t had.
experimenting this statement with further one

pledge OF the President (Orton) that the cor
respondence was IN the hands OF the Associated

THE SAILORS STRIKE.
A CLAIM FOB HIGHER wAGEs-BoTH SIDES OF
THE CASE

A CLAIM FOB HIGHER wAGEs-BoTH SIDES OF
THE CASE.
Captain Charles G. Duncan, an experienced
commander Of American ships, was appointed
Commissioner for this port under the act OF 1872,
making 1t obligatory Tor all sailors to be shipped
IN presence OF the Commissioner. to protect them
against fraud and violence. The shipping charges
In all for each man are 81 so, and the number
shipped in New York during 1874 was q. 262. Ii Is
admitted at the Commissioners office that strike
for higher wages took place o lew months since.
This Ia attributed to the great depression IN tho
shipping interests OF the country, which threw q
large number of mariners out Of employment
Wages Tor seamen were consequently much re-
duced and according to Captain Duncan such
While those scamen who nave Been ersunass
enough to ind employment have gone to sea well
satisfied, the large numDer OF the unemployed leit
on shore have been easily led by their landlords
and other designing men to believe the shipping
law responsible for all their misfortunes, and have
morals denouncing It," the shipping Commas
sioner declares that neither he nor MS ONCE has
any thing TO do Whatever with the regulating OF
wages. That matter rests between the captains
and the Sailors and he pursueS strictly impair
side or the other Since the strike commenced
business mas progressed at the Office It ts stated,
In the usual way, and plenty Of men are iorthcom-
me sailors and sxsrdins house keepers tell
very different stoE trAaWng out personal illusions.
they state that are offered only S1A or SI5 per
month; that mshy are ooliged to accept these
rates, and that the Commissioners only care Is to
secure hts fee. The seamen consider that they are
July able - take care OF themselves and can do so
without kne assistance OF socalled aid societies or
shipping commissioners, who they think impose
IN the name OF benevolence, on the public and on
Congress. As TO the clearinghouse keepers, q
portion OF whom are arrayed IN hostility against
the Commissioner, the sailors say that without
them they would be left homeless and destitute
after arriving In port, and that, moreover seamen
are indebted to boarding masters FOR being able
get wages OF any consequence Whatever. Some
OF the men declare that they have been treated
harshly at and driven away from the Commission
er's office because they claimed that tn wages
offered were unreasonably low. The striking SAIL
ors demand $50 per month to all foreign ports
while the ruling rates are $40 lin some ca sea
much less Is sccepted), with the exception to
English ports which Is $50.

ANOTHER BANK FAILURE.

THE UNION BANK OF JERSEY CITY sUsPENDa
OPERATIONS
No little excitement was caused in Jersey CITY
yesterday forenoon when depOsirOrs in the Union
Bank, situated in Montgomery street, found the
doors closed against them and the following notice
posted up :-.This bank Is closed for business till
further notice. BY order Of the Directors" An
Investigation OF the cause OF the failure showed
that the concern has been running down hill for
several months. 1t has been In existence only
about four years. The first President, Mr.. George
W. Cassidy retired from the post six months ago
and Mr.. Sandioro was appointed in his place.
The change did not improve the prospects OF tho
bank, and a suspension was at last inevitable.
The difficulty has arisen from the accumulation OF
a large amount OF suspended paper. which was
originally taken under the former management OF
the bank. Some OF this paper Is OF doubtful char
OF 1t was too heavy for the institution to success
fully carry. and the judgment OF the officers and
directors Ia that to suspend now was The wsess
course to adopt IN the interest OF the depositors
At q meeting held on Tuesday night tender Of
assistance was pronered by other banks o. the
is urged that the assets are SUFFICIENT to meet the
claims OF the depositors and that the losses will
fall on the stockholders only. The latter Will hold
q meeting on Saturday to discuss the actual con-
dition OF the accounts and the causes OF the fall

A LUNATIC BRIDE.
Terre Haute Express

On Christmas eve, a young widow was
married to a young merchant at LadOga,
Ind. The wedding passed of without an
incident to mar the happiness Of the time.
On Sunday morning the wife arose before
her husband was out of bed, and slipping
a light wrapper over her night clothes,
went out. No more was thought OF it by
him until her prolonged absence began to
create alarm. he soon arose, alarmed her
parents and several others in the vicinity,
