RING DEFEAT.

The retirement of District Attorney
Fisher is the first defeat that Boss Shep-
herd ring has yet sustained. 1t shows
that the Presidents powers Of resistance
are not immortal, and that a united cab
met has some power which he is COM
PEELED to respect. All the ring influence
was brought to bear in this matter.
Shepherd, Harrington, the safe burglar,
and Mrs. Fisher rushed to the other
seat of government at Long Branch and
expected to control the President. But
Grant discovered hat if he kept Fisher
be would lose his cabinet. So Fisher
was permitted to slide. Bristow and
Jewell and Pierrepont could not be dis
regarded in this matter. THAT little
bob-tsiled clam Yankee is still over at
the postoaice and Fisher no longer enters
nolle prosequis in gambling cases, and
now that be is out there are none so
poor as to do him reverence. Even the
little journals Of the District that feared
and praised him q week ago abuse him
now. They charge that ever since he
resigned his lie position as Judge of the
Supreme Court of the District to become
District Attorney the affairs Of the Office
have been conducted in a manner to
give offense to the bar and the citizens;
that he surrounded himself with strikers,
white and black, and gave them profts-
Bile jobs, and hat he was guilty Of official
blaekmail on gamblers, and that the
guilty were protected for a consideration.
No doubt this is true, but these stipendi-
aries never knew it until an independent
and fearless press had laid bare the facts
and forced them upon the attention of
the Cabinet. Grant yielded reluctantly;
he vaeillated a week or two, and at one
time requested Pierrepont to suspend
action. If it had been left to him, he
would never have removed Fisher. As
it was, he had to do right for once, but it
was against his will, and in a manner
which showed that he parted with a
f%avorite and incompetent retainer with
deep regret.

THE WALL STREET pAn1n

The gold panic in New York yester-
day and the failure of Duncan, Sherman
l. Co., announced early in the afternoon
through the LEDGER, was the subject Of
universal comment in business circles.
No n here is affected directly as far as
known. 1t is co~njectured that some Of
our citizens travelling in Europe may
have taken letters of credit from Dun
can, Sherman & Co., and may not have
drawn their funds on the other side. At
present we have no means of ascertain
ing how this is. 1t is not a matter of self.
congratulstion to hear of big failures
because we escape, but we feel, neverthe-
less, that the South has had its full
share of ealamities in other times and
shapes and feel thankful hat Wall street
failures affect our people so little. The
South is too poor and economical to
keep much OF a bank account anywhere.
For the present it should be our policy 10
keep out of debt, live on less than we
make and sell more than we buy. This
course has been partly adopted from
sheer necessity, and it works we'll. We
buy for cash more than formerly and sell
for cash. So the people of this region
a contemplate these financial %conyul-
sions of moneyed centers with a eonsid-
cradle degree of complacency.

Any one investing in these Bonds has the
satisfaction Of knowing that his bond is GER
tain to be paid at maturity and further that
he assists In building in the city Of New York
a permanent Temple Of Industry. which will
be an ornament and a pride to every Ameri-
can.
Each Bondholder, until his bond is re-
deemed, is a part owner of twenty. two acres
OF land situated in the heart of the city Of
New York, and estimated to be worth Two
Million -Four Hundred Thousand Dollars.
And the building which is estimated to cost
Seven Millions.
The excavations for the foundation was
commenced on the 10th Of May. 1875, and the
building will be ready to receive the goods
from the Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people Of small means
was ever offered equaling the Bonds of the In
cured by mortgage which makes the principal
safe. n eminently secure, and in addition to
which each bondholder participates four times
a year in the allotment of premiums above
named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is, in a lottery the holder must
lose, his money or draw a prize, while the
holder Of an Industrial Exhibition Bond can
not lose his investment. but must have re-
turned to him the principal and a small rate
of interest added, and in addition has an OPP
portunity to draw a premium ranging from
$50 to Sl00, 900.
The Board of Directors and the Trustees Of
the mortgagage are among the most eminent
Of the business men of New York, and is Of

THE s%PEAKERsHIP.

The question as to who shall succeed
Blaine as Speaker Of the next House Of
Representatives is attracting much at
tsntion throughout the country, and par
ticularly in the Democratic camp. The
question is one of vital importance to u
party at this juncture, for this officer
has it in his power, to a very great ex-
tent, to dispel the fond hopes of our enc
mics In reference to the terrible things
which are to be enacted under the Dem
ocratic regime. While the Speakership
confers great honor upon the individual
who shall be rewarded with the high DO
s%ition, it also entails grave responsible
ties in the exercise of the power entrusted
to him, in selecting proper committee
men, and in his rulings, which will re-
quire great experience in parliamentary
proceedings and a cool and dispassionate
Judgment Of men and measures, coupled
with untiring energy and watchfulness.
We Of the South have no candidate to
put forward for this distinguished
honor, and our Representatives will
doubtless cast aside all personal feeling
in the matter, aud act only with refer.
ence to the general good. Prominent
among those mentioned in connection
with the Speakership is Hon. Samuel ].
Randall, Of Pennsylvania, who has been
a conspicuous leader Of the Democracy
during the past twelve years in the
House, and whose warfare against the
corruptions Of the Republican party du.
ring these terrible years is too well
known to the world, particularly in thai
trying time during the last session vixen
he led the minority for forty-seven con
secutive hours in the terrible iebr
against the infamous force bill, and dis
played a leadership which excited tn,
admiration Of his opponents. We o.
the South have always been noted fol
our gratitude, and we certainly can SCI
no better way Of showing our grateful
appreciation of the services thus rem
dered our people than by rewarding tn
leader who stood up so manfully for u
in those dark days, with an Office whic
can add nothing to his reputation, br
can show our appreciation of his abilit
and indomitable pluck.

IT is an importan. fact that the South
ern cotton mills are running on full time
and making reasonable profits while the
mills Of Massachusetts and New Hamp.
shire are, many of them, running on
half time and losing money. This
shows the advantages of climate in the
South, and the vast saving of freights
and handling where the raw material is
converted into the fabric ready for use

SignOr Navarro, Mexican Consul,
Loses his Private Fortune
and Consulate Money.
Transactions In Cotton and Railroad
Stocks the Cause Of the
Downfall.
No Fear of the Crash Having any
Effect on Business.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The Herald pub.
fishes an interview with VIM. Butler
Duncan, who says there is no truth in
the reports that be went to Europe to
consult Alexander Duncan for the pur-
pose of securing his aid to negotiate new
loans; that he applied to Earrings Broth
ers and other European firms for assist
ance, and it was denied that the
Union Banking Company is loser by the
firm to even the amount of a farthing.
Duncan says every arrangement will be
made to prevent Americans abroad with
their letters of credit from experiencing
any trouble.
S. L. N. Barlow, counsel for the sus-
pended firm, says the rumors that the
failure will affect the Union Bank Of
London is entirely unfounded, as that
bank i. fully protected, as is also Bar
ings'.
Siguor Navarro, the Mexican consul,
is a depositor with Duncan, Sherman &
Co. to the full amount of his private for
tune-$6O,OOO or $40, OOO-and all the
moneys belonging to the consulate, but
does not seem afraid of loss.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. say that Dun
can, Sherman & Co. have been largely
engaged in cotton transactions, their
London agent being Mr.. Kitchen, Of Cal
lie & Co. Within four weeks cotton has
fallen three cents per pound, and sup
posing they had $4,000 bales in transit,
their loss would be about 1916, O0O-not
enough to send them under; but we hear
they we're largely interested in Mobile
and Ohio, Atlantic and Great Western,
and slightly in Erie.
The President Of the Shoe and
Leather Bank says there is no fear Of
the crash having any effect on the bust
ness Of the city. 1t would affect Con-
necticut and Rhode Island especially,
as he believed the paper Of the house
largely circulated in those States. In
the Western States, also, many houses
will more or less suffer.
Agents of the Union Bank, Of London,
the Bank of New York, say there is no
truth in the rumor of its suspension, the
only ground therefor being the fact hat
the cable announced its refusal to honor
the drafts of Duncan, Sherman & Co.
The Post says the losses Of Duncan,
Sherman & Co., on cotton exceed one
million Of dollars. The Union Bank Of
London and Barring Bros. & Co, have
both been guaranteed by Alexander
Duncan.

LET IT O

The Chattanooga Times threatens the
exposure Of a reputation Job" by a
Memphis railroad ring. which, after
bearing" Tennessee bonds to a conve-
niently low figure, bought enough to pay
the debt of the aforesaid railroad to the
State, but, taking advantage Of the rise,
after passage Of the funding act, sold
them out at profit instead of paying
them over to the State. 1t intimates the
purpose of the same ring now to be to
depress bonds to thirty cents and load
up again, and then put through a scaling
process OF forty per cent, and make one
hundred per cent. out of the investment.
These little inside details are very inter-
esting to outside taxpayers, When does

THE RIVER AT A STAND.

The good news we anticipated yester.
day is verified today. The river at this
point has come to a stand and begun
slightly to recede. 1t is falling above.
No further fears Of an overflow need be
entertained. River men, planters and
merchants wear cheerful countenances
to-day, and well they may, for a rise of
half a foot more would have destroyed
millions of property. And we desire to
state further that the damage by over
flow thus far amounts to nothing. Not

Of corn and cotton have been injured.
