Dissatisfaction With, the Genital Svstem in

Dissatisfaction With the Genital System in
New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-After the first grain call
at the produce exchange yesterday, an inform
al meeting of the trade was held, at which J.
d. Merrick presided. Henry T. Kneeland Of
fered resolution asking the board of mana
gers to rescind their action with regard to the
adoption of the GENITAL system applied to the
dealings in grain. The resolution set forth
that the Genital system would seriously inter.
fere with and threatened to destroy the bust
ness in options. Mr.. Kneeland said the trade
had patiently tried the experiment and found
it entirely impracticable. Business men, he
added had no time to waste in making all the
complex calculations necessary to conform to
the new system. The country traders could
not be got to understand its workings, and it
was extremely difficult to educate out of town
merchants. Mr.. Kneeland believed that the
effort to establish the GENITAL system would not
be successful without congressional legislation.
The resolution was unanimously carried. A
resolution to call January options in bushels
was adopted.

NEW YORK ELECTION.

Both Parties Protesting Cenfidence-But
the Betting In Favor of Cornell-Tilden's
Barrel Said to Have Been Opened to thu
Tune of $25O.OOO.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The hard work of the
New York campaign is done and the issues have
teen in one way or another pretty thoroughly
made known to the people. The singular and
satisfactory report may now be rendered that
al parties except the greenback are resting
from their labors il the firm conviction, &C.
cordlng to their leaders assertion, that success
awaits them next Tuesday. The greenbackers
claim 10000 votes. The father of them all. 90
to speak, the venerable Peter Cooper, has gone
back on their ticket and comes out In letter
advising all his friends and followers to vote
for Robinson. The Robinson campaign con-
ductors avowedly are full of confidence and
say they know from careful and
thorough canvass that they have majority of
the voters. They have undoubtedly taken
great pains to work in with the young Repub-
Leans, and foster the scratching movement.
good deal OF money was wagered uptown
last night on the result in the State. A GEN.
tleman in the Fifth Avenue Hotel bet $4,000
to 81 900 on Cornell, but the bulk of the bet
ting IN the pool-rooms was at the odds of 500
to SOU on the Republican State ticket. These
bets were freely taken. Offers of 800 to eS
against Kelly found no takers.
An agent of the scratchers, who has been
travelling through the lower tier of counties,
has reported that in Chemung county, which
includes the city Of Elmira, Kelly viii get .
considerable vote, but that in The other coun-
! ties the Republican scratchers will more than
Offset the Tammany men. The usual Republic
can majority, outside of Kings and New York
counties, is sure to be greatly reduced owing
to this detection.
Samuel J. Tilden has put s25O,OOO into the
present campaign in this State. More than
that ne has indicated to the men who are ruz-
| ming the canvass for him, or rather the agents
working under his direct supervision, that the
barrel is open and that they can draw on it for
| whatever sums the exigencies of the case may
| require as the exigencies are upon them in
force. The leaders will doubtless avail them
| selves literally of the old mans generosity,
and it is likely that fully one-third of the mil
| lion squeezed out of the New York elevated
railroad stock sponge, will go toward winning
Robinson's success, which: alone can maintain
Tilden's grasp on the Democratic Presidential
| nomination next year.

some highly complimentary verses on his dead
friend, one of which quote as good speci-

''You buried him meath the old pine tree,

His manly form in sweet repose:

in the following verne:

When from below that angel

The following, from a poem on the death of
Custer, will awake responsive chord in the
breasts of many who know something of the
Indian policy as pursued by the department at
Washington:
''They talk of peace with these demons,
By feeding and clothing them we'll;
I'd as soon think an angel from heavens
Would reign with contentment in hill;
And some day these Quakers will answer
Before the great Judge of us all,
For the death of the daring young Custer
And the boys who around him did fall.''

Comrades, raise me, am dying,

Tell me, did we whip the Sioux?
