The Jay Cooke Estate.

An evidence of the revival of business
peculiarly gratifying to those who re-
member the great service rendered the
country during the wa by the house OF
Jay Cooke & Co. is the fact that the ad'
Ministraticn of their estate has now re.
suited In paying dollar for dollar Of the
entire Indebtedness. This remarkable
result is largely due to the advance in
the values OF Northern Pacific and other
stocks and bonds which constituted "a
large q part Of the firms assets. The
exact amount already divided in cash
and securities at present values foOts up
$1,072 for each $1,000 of Indebtedness,
and the trustee and committee of credi.
tors who have the matter in charge esti.
mate that the further divi dends to be paid
will bring the total allowance to each
creditor up to $1.122 for each $1,000 nf
indebtedness. The settlement Of this
business has been conducted throughout
In accordance with the suggestions made
by the firm q short time after the failure.
The present verdict If the creditors is
that Jay Choke was not 50 far wrong in
his an,icipations of . golden future for
the Northwest IS people supposed he
was when the crash came. His only
mistake was in being ahead If his time.
The entire honor and good faith Of the
firm in the settlement, and the fortunate
result of the creditors, are alike the sub.
tects Of gratified comment In all quarters.

Fifty colored voters of Yazoo County, Miss,
have published a card in which they are made
to expatiate on the peace, concord, and broth
erly love now prevailing in that region. Since
the death of that bold, bad man, Col. Dixon,
whose chief vice was his constant Indictment
of negro uprisings, Yazoo County has been
as quiet as a country churchyard. At least,
so the fifty colored voters say or are made to
say, in their admirable card As the signers
of this interesting document ask 'all friends
of the cOlored man to circulate their denial of
the alleged disorders in Yazoo County, their
reasonable request should be complied with.
Aud it may be added that, as life is sweet,
even in Yazoo County, it was far better that
the fifty colored citizens should sign this card
than be taken out into the swamps ito see a
man. ~ y Times

provision the boats and escape, before the
Columbia went down head foremost. The
