GOULD's BLACK FRIDAY CHECKED.
The BROOKLYN Eagle of Oct. 10th says
the manner IL which Gould, through
lis stock house, Belden & Co., has
manipulated the gold and stock markets
since the 9TH inst. IS likely to be fully
exposed by investigation into the case
of Haar & Co., by the courts, and pos
sibly by the Stock Exchange. Enough
is known, however, to sustain the ale
cation that Gould planned Black
Friday panic, and might have succeed
ed had not his plans been deranged by
Sec. Sherman's coming to the relief of
the market. Gould had made money
stringent Saturday, and, according to
the Eagle, had his plans perfected to
spring disaster upon prominent finan-
cial institution on Monday, but that the
secretary arrived. gold fell, money eased
up, and Gould was compelled to cover
his shorts, while Haar Il Co. were left in
the cold. There was nothing sensation
al on Change to-day. The feeling was
feverish, but no important movements
resulted.
HOW INDIAN WARS ARE INCITED.
Gen. o. 0. Howard telegraped Oct.
18th from Fort Vancouver that a
Umatilla Indian was murdered on the
2Sth ult by white men, and that the
Umatillas have within the last three
weeks lost 500 horses, taken by whites.
He asks, Cannot the United States
district-attorney be instructed by the
encouragement to attend to this and
other cold-blooded murders of Indians
by white men? A few examples Of
such Justice would do more for peace
than whole summers campaign"
The foregoing was Endorsed by Gen.
Sherman, rs follows: "The Umatila
Indians should be protected in their
lives and property as far as possible bv
the civil agents, as also by the military;
but, after the crime is committed, the
civil courts should try the case and ad-
Judge the measure of punishment"
A dispatch thus Endorsed was sent by
Secretary McCrary to the Indian bureau
to-day, and Acting COMMISSIONS Leeds
has referred it to Secretary Schurz, with
the recommendation that measures be
promptly taken to bring the guilty par
ties to punishment.
