Wall Street Monarchs Vino Have
Come to Grief.

There Is food for reflection in the
fact that almost every man who has
risen to eminence as sperulator in
Wall street, during the past twenty
years, has fallen much more rapidly
than he rose. Vanderbilt is the only
exception that can think of Just
now, but Vanderbilt never was II
speculator in the strict Wall street
sense. His policy all along was to
buy only ih IS, stocks which he knew
tn he valuable, and never to ny on
margin. When he bought stocks,
he paid for them in full, and then
locked them up in his safe. But the
general rule is to sell short or 20 long
on a margin, and many mIn has it
brought to grief. Among the mon
archs of the market who preceded
Drew, or were his contemporaries,
one of the first was Henry Keep, who
made large fortune in u short time,
lost the greater part Of it in less, and
then withdrew from Wall street, to
die in comparative obscurity II few
years later. Woodward, Brooklyn
Sunday School Superintendent, next
inquired conspicuously, anI he got
lammed to jelly, so to speak, in the
great Rock Island corner several
years ago. That was the last of him.

tStockwell, the head of the Pacific
MAIL Clique, who almost ruled the
sueel few years ago, lost nearly all
ne had made and has disappeared al
.ogether. Legrand Lockwood went
uown as suddenly, and is now al
most forgotten. A broker named
Dlmmock made sensation for a
saoit time as leader of the Atlantic
man speculation, but he too got
swamped, and every dollar he had

what Republicanism has Done

aJf ve.n saws the London "Times," "
s.were to forecast the future of France
and of Germany, by the light of the
sgapcial condition of each, we
should be obliged to believe that
brighter days await the vanquished
than the victors at Sedan. The keen
ewes of Prince Bismarck must al
ready, we should fancy, have looked
with some anxiety to the two sets OF
national accounts which we present.
ed on Saturday. The revenue returns
of France since the war have sur
prised those who know the country
best. 1t was known to be rich, but
a fine of two hundred million pounds
was expected to cripple it for years,
and the real expense of the war was
much greater. Directly and indi-
rectly, It was supposed to have cost
the Stale not far short of four humid
red millions. No one would have
been surprised if many of the peas
antry had been unable to pay the
taxes, or if distress had once more
led to disturbances in the great
towns. No one would have been
surprised if each successive budget
had for years presented deficit, or
if the National Assembly had refused
to spend more than would meet the
bare necessities of the State. 1t was
estimated that the indirect taxes for
1875 would yield 1,953,07s,000
francs, but they have really brought
2,O5O, 100000, or an excess of 9,9l2,-
900. Even making allowance for the
imposition of new taxes and for a
change in the collection of railway
duties, we fiud that the increase on
the receipts for 1874 is 140. .074,000
francs, or more tha1 f5,G00,000. Nor
does even that enormous increase
represent the real burden which the
country seems able to carry. We
must make a comparison between
the Imperial budget for 1869 and the
Republican budget FIR last year.
Seven years ago the ordinary aud the
extraordinary revenue was estimated
at $4,000, 900 fra. C or e7s, $3.50,
000 1t is calcu ated, as our Paris
correspondent said s'me time ago,
that the total amount collected tais
year will be S75,000,000 francs, or
e35, 100000 IN Ire. Thus the French
are paying into the Ex 'heqner CON
siderably mJre tn t f100,Oo0,000 Il
year. Nor can signs of distress be
detected by II comp rison of the es-
Inmates with the receipts"

small squads. As one of these squads of
about Is men, under command of Jason
James. was riding homeward three men were
thrown out about 800 yards in advance as a
guard. While passing the Ross place, nine
miles southwest Of Bastrop, they were sud

three scouts Immediately charged upon the
negroes who fled. closely pursued by the
men, and when they arrived at fence some
hundred yards further ON, the fugitives
turned and delivered another ineffective vol
