Forty Years in Wall Street
and Busted at Last.

That is sad "stOry with a NOR
al' which is told to-day about the
voluntary bankruptcy of the once
famous Wall street millionaire and
Spectator, the venerable Daniel
Drew. 1t may be all summed up
in a brief sentence. Forty years
in Wall street, and not a dollar
left, with debts amounting to some
100000 ar more. Among his list
of published assets, under the head
of personal property, are the fol-
lowing: Watch and chain, $3.50;
one seal-skin coat $3.50; wearing
apparel, $500; bible, hymn books,
&C., $120: Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the old gentleman in
his misfortunes, especially as just
now he is in very feeble health,
and much depressed by his recent
domestic bereavement. Wall street
during the past thirty years, has
been strewn. with many a financial
wreck, but this is one of the COM
pletest of them all.-N. Y. Phil.

He is the best auctioneer in the coun-

ways realize at least rs per cent more

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The. result of the election held i'm
New Hampshire on Tuesday, accord
ing to the returns at hand, is de-
cided victory for the Republicans. =
The election, following as it did right
upon the heels of the Belknap scan
dial, was looked TO with more than
ordinary interest as indicating the
probable effect of that affair upon
the status and prestige of the Repub-
lican party. Both parties made a
strong fight, because to either, sue
cess could not be else than valuable
and important, on account Of the
moral influence On the contest upon
which the country is entering. The
Republicans are fairly entitled to the
prestige which the victory confers.-
The result has pretty clearly demon
strated that the Belknap scandal has
not hurt the Republican party to any
appreciable extent. Indeed we are
inclined to the opininn that Belknap
has not hurt the Republican party
near as much as Ben Hill and Bour-
bons Of that iik have the Democratic
party. The Democrats went into
the New Hampshire fight much
more heavily Handicapped than the
Republicans, and the result is de-
feat. Prior to the hour when Mr..
Hill was permitted to come to the
front as leader the Democracy had
the inside track. But it does seem
that they will learn nothing from
past experience. Perhaps it not too
late vet. We shall see.

HON. GEORGE H. PENDLE.
TON.

The testimony of Hon. George III.
Pendleton before the Committee on
the expenses Of the War Department
on Tuesday, while it 6iscloses moth
ing which can convict him of cor
ruption, does not ''pan out'' as salts
factory as we could have wished.
We have never doubted the purity
and honesty of Mr.. Pendleton, nor
do we now, but the transaction in
regard to which he testifies, shows
that Mr.. Pendleton is little over
Jealous in his desire to accumulate
wealth. 1t may be all right, but we
cannot bring ourself to think that
Washington, or Jefferson or Madison
or any of the statesmen of earlier
and purer times would have done
what Mr.. Pendleton admits in his
testimony, although his may be en-
tirely legitimate in professional
sense. The case is about this
He was president of a railroad
company which had an old claim for
$14S, 900 against the government that
had been repeatedly rejected by the
War Department. He was paid by
the company $4,000 per annum for
his services. But as president of
said he company hired himself to
prosecute this claim, and ultimately
paid himself the sum of $74,000 for
his labor and as President of said
company paid three-fifths of the res
idue, about $4,000, to the estate of
his brother-in-law, of which he was
administrator that is, as presi-
dent of the railroad company
he paid to himself, as admins
TRAITOR of his brother-in-law's
estate, that large sum and also the
additional sum of $4,000 to some
railroad clerk in his office. These
several sums amounted to about
$685. 900 out of the collection of $14S-
600, leaving about $4,000 for the
stockholders of the railroad company
who were at the time paying him a
salary of $4,000 per annum to take
care of their interests.
This is about his own version of
the affair as we gather it from his
testimony. 1t strikes us as not be-
ing exactly the proper thing.
