CALIFORNIA.
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.


SAN FRANcIsCo, September 3.-The
financial outlook improves every day and
general business has resumed Its usual
channels. The recent coin failures are
nearly over and a much better feeling
prevails. The large amounts recently
thrown on the market from the treas
ury and mint, to which will probably be
added 100000 tomorrow by transfer
from the treasury 10 the National Gold
Bank and Trust Company, tend 10 make
money much easier. The affairs Of the
Bank OF California are progressing favor.
ably. In an interview with a prominent
gentleman Of the directory this afternoon,
assurances were given Of a speedy re.
opening Of the bank, A guarantee
capital to tho amount OF several
millions has been already subscribed,
and more Is promised. The creditors ex.
hibit a disposition to grant reasonable
extension on their demands, and the
stockholders without exception, 30 far IA
seen, express their willingness to enter
into the proposed arrangements. Fur
ther examination into the state Of the us.
sets warrants the assertion that their con.
dition Is better than at first supposed.
The Directors at present prefer to make
public no detailed statement as to the as.
sets and liabilities, though information
privately afforded to assist in obtaining u
general knowledge Of the condition Of the
bank goes 10 confirm the recent favorable
reports. No definite time isstated for re-
sumption, but delay Of about two weeks
was estimated as the time at which full
statement Of affairs would be made public.
The San Francisco Stock Exchange
held n meeting to-day and subscribed
$250,0O0 to the guarantee fund OF the
Bank, and subscriptions were made by
individual members amounting In the ag.
gregate to from $780, 900 to 100000. The
Board will probably not resume It's Ses.
sion until the Bank resumes payment, and
In the meantime discourage any business
on the street. Private transactions were
made, however, at the following rates {:
Virginia, "a; California, 50; 0phir, AZ;
Grown Point, 20; Best 4 Belcher, 40 bid;
@. 4 g. 10; yellow Jacket, 65; Belcher, q;
Mexican, 81. The beat Of feeling prevails
among the brokers
The inquest In the case Of Ralston was
concluded to-day. Tho report Of the
chemists showed no evidence Of poison in
the stomach, and the jury returned YER
diet OF accidental death from congestion
Of the vital organs and drowning.
The National Gold Bank and Trust
Company report good prospect for
early resumption.
The result Of the election In this city
is still undecided. The manner in which
the ballots are counted make any esti.
mate difficult until the vote Is further
canvnssed. Page Is probably elected to
Congress In the Second District. No re-.
turns were received to-day to modify
previous reports.
A fire at Virginia City this morning
destroyed the Odd Fellows building, in.
cluding the Office Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company In the building, with
several other houses. Loss sl2b,0OO.

In Defense Of Admiral FarrnguI.

HARTFORD, September S,-Hon. Gideon
Welles has written an article published in
the Times to-day, in defense Of Admiral
Farragut as the caplurer Of New Orleans.
The article is in reply to the statement in
the recent decision Of the q. S. Supreme
Court delivered by Justice Swayne, in the
case OF the City Of New Orleans, appel
liant, Is. New York Mail Steamship Co., in
which the expression occurs, "On the lst
Of May, 1852, the army Of the United
States captured the city Of New Orleans"
Mr., Welles proves that the city was cap
tured by Farragut on the 26th Of April,
and held by him until the arrival Of the
troops. He quotes from the records also
OF the War Department to show that
repeated injustice has been done to the
Admiral, A chronological record pub.
lished by the Department, and purport.
Ing to give record OF all the events Of
the war, does not contain Farragut's
name, and gives the credit for the capture
Of the forts on the Mississippi below New
Orleans to Admiral Porter, q subordinate
under Farragut, The article concludes:
~ have felt It u duty to the navy, to the
truth Of history, and to this hero, to
correct the persistent misstatements
which have been and which are made in
regard to the capture Of New Orleans,
aud to some Of the attending circum-
stances and events OF that period. The
document which Is sent on by the War
Department, as chronological table OF
battles, Skirmishes, ETC., which took place
dnring tho rebellion, Is not truthful or
reliable, inasmuGh as II suppresses, or
fails 10 make mention Of the most i'm
pOrtant and conspicuous battles which
took places and wholly omits the name Of
one Of the most distinguished heroes OF
the war"

CALDWELL, O., September 3.-The Sol.
diCrs' Reunion closed to-day. Themor
ing was devoted to short addresses, and
to the formal return Of the much talked
OF lost sword, which was captured from
Col. s. NJ, Archer, Of the Seventeenth
Iowa regiment by Major W. i. Estis, Of
Texas. Owing to unavoidable cir
Cumstances neither Of the principals
were present, and in their absence
Senator CoCkerill, Of Missouri, who
commanded the brigade with which
Major Estis was connected, presented the
sword on behalf OF Estis to General
Warner, Of Marietta, who received 1t on
behalfof Col. Archer. The ceremony was
both interesting and impressive.
The afternoon was occupied with short
speeches and the singing Of patriotic
songs. The reunion formally closed at
4 o'clock, when the tents were struck and
the company separated, having had q
pleasant three days meeting.

do things Of this kind would seem to be
their legitimate sphere of action. Per-
haps when they are strong enough in
West Virginia we shall see them making
a dead set against local rates on our
railroads; We mean such OF them as they
can get at,for there are some roads whose
charters, up to a certain point, protect
them from any such legislation. The
Baltimore & Ohio is thus protected.
We notice by this circular that there
are in our little and not very agricul-
turaI county Of Ohio, four oranges,
located respectively at Elm Grove, POtO-
mac, Valley Grove, and Roney's Point,
Brooke county has three, located Mt Pan
handle, WeIlsburg, and FOwlers. Mar
shall has ten, located at Dallas, Cam
eron, (two) SheFrard, Glen EustOn,
Fair Hill, Loulensville, Beeler's Station,
Woodlands, and Moundsville, For some
reason or other the county OF Hancock
does not appear to have embarked in the
Grange business. That county is not
down for n single grange. Perhaps the
Courier can explain how this comes. Wet
eel county goes in heavy on oranges. She
has eleven Of these institutions, located us
follows, viz: UniontOwn, Fan Light, Sill
yer Hill, New Martinsville (S), Pine
Grove (2), Porter's Falls and Van Camp,
The order fOurhhes extensively in
Richie county, which we attribute to the
wholesome bucolic influence OF the Ga.
Eelte, whose editor writes pastoral poetry
by the yard. 1t tlourishes also very ex-
tensively over in the Eastern Panhandle.
It is there that the Head Centre, the
Hon. B, NJ. Kitchen. lives. His technical
designation is "Muster," just as sher-
mans Ia General" without any pretixes
about 1t. The Hon. Mr.. X. resides at
Shanghai, as becomes a man who is In the
poultry business. There are four lady
members Of the State Grange, viz: Miss
Mary May, of Brooke county, who repre-.
sens "Ceres," the goddess Of graini Mrs.
f, II, Stone, Of Marion, who represents
Pomona, the goddess of fruit, especially
apples (her duties will be lightthiS year,,
and Mrs. Sarah Fayre, Of Marshall, who
represents the goddess OF flowers, whose
duties are pretty we'll through with for
this season. Mrs. Lizzie NJ. W. Hall, Of
Barbour, who, like Judge Moore, Is too
alphabetical in her prWnomens, Is Assist
ntStCward, and Is no doubt a good pro.
wider.
Upon the whole, the Changers make n
good showing in the pages Of the circular
before us. We doubt not that at the next
election all our prominent politicians will
have more or less hay seed in their hair
md much Of the odor Of the stables on their
clothes. The sight OF this list will put
lhem all to reading Greeley's book, "What
[ Know About Farming"

ional Bank, charged with robbing the
same Of $4,000, was continued for one
week. The bond being placed at $4,000
he was unable to give that amount and Is
now In Jail. The affair has caused great
excitement and speculation since II has
become known, Rehm's foolish action
and lack Of nerve being themes Of general
conversation. The bank resumed business
to-day, and also filed suit against Rehm
for an attachment against his property.
The petition states that he was taken In
the employ Of the bank years ago, at
which time he gave bond for faithful dis
charge Of duties. They claim that he has
NOT done so, $4,000 having been embez.
Zled by MIN. The petition alleges that
Rehm is indebted to the bank to the
amount embezzled, for which they pray
for judgment and an attachment to res.
train him from selling his property.
