rency from the country, nor do they gain In
specie by any means as rapidly as would be
expected from the report of payments by the
Treasury Since October they have gained
in specie SO, 1927, 200, but the Treasury has
paid out during the same time $13,26o,oo3
more specie than 1t has received. On the
other hand, the banks have lost during that
period $9,477, 900 in legal-tenders, while
the Treasury has paid out since Oc-
tober 4 $3,566.524 more currency than
il has received, and since October i
So, O37. 1876 more currency than it has received.
One cause of the unusual drain of currency
to the interior is the large increase Of taxes
maid TO the Government since the revival OF
business. 1t appears from the debt statement
that while the Treasury has lost So, 400
in coin and currency during the month the
amount of cash held at all points by the
Treasury, in excess of certificates outstanding,
has increased 81, 2S2, 032 62. AS the Treasury
has 10 rrowed no money during the
month, the reduction OF %lO,352,3oo oZ
in the amount of debt less cash III
the Treasury has been Que to an excess
of recepts from taxation over all expenditures.
These payments, made mainly at other ports
and in distant collection districts, appear to
have caused a withdrawal of money from the
reserves in this city, and an accumulation at
other Government offices of the money so
Withdrawn. More than the entire amount lost
by the banks of this city during October has,
during that month, been paid into the Treas
ury in excess of all its expenditures But for
the heavy imports of specie. the country
would have been poorly prepared to meet so
heavy n drain uDOn its resources
1t is mistake to suppose that the enor-
nous activity of business here, as shown by
the great increase in exchanges, is mainly
due to the excessive speculation In stocks.
For the increase in exchanges ut other cities
has also been great. Excluding New-York
and San Francisco, the exchanges at all other
cities where clearinghouse exist were COB
per cent larger during the week ending De-
tober % than during the corresponding
week last year, and at some of the most
important cities the increase was much
larger. At Milwaukee it was 97.6 per
cent, at New Orleans 97.1 per cent, at Phil
adelphia ST. per cent at Baltimore 1871
per cent, and at Chicago G9.9 per cent
1t is not believed that the aggregate OF le-
Ultimate business at New-York has increased
much less than at the other cities named.
The truth is that IN all branches an enormous
increase in the volume of business is every
where apparent except on the Pacific coast,
where Kearneyism and Communism in the
Constitution cause a serious embarrassment.
So much the more there is reason to insist
that the resources of the banks shall not be
unduly diverted to the support of specula-
ton, to the detriment of Legitimate trade.

of those who carry Southern States by force
with chose who try to carry Northern States by
fraud A baser. meaner and more dangerous
conspiracy against tree government than the
old South ever c0ncocted has been very near
success.
Men of the South. you have your answer.
You had almost clutched the National
Government Had you been a little
less eager, had the pirates crew re-
manned hidden under matches only little
longer, possibly resistance would have been
too late. Thanks to the Con federate Congress,
the recent session showed the Southern purpose.
The coalition of Southern rebels and Northern
sympathizers rashly threatened to strangle the
Union unless permitted to rule it. The work
of a long session was condensed by Senator
Hill in his recent declaration that no
Southern man of self-respect would ever
admit that rebellion was crime
These acts and words came like fire-bell In
the night to awaken the North. The real in
tent of the South was seen, and Mt once
the North answers. The history of the
country for twenty years has been set
tied in one Summer. Let the South do
what it may, from this time forth !;
L
quarter of a century will not uproot. This
day the Solid South is further from the
rule of the country by more than twenty
years than it was when President Hayes
took the oath of office.
The future belongs to the Repub-
lican party Only by some new act
of folly OF faithlessness, can 1t forfeit
that public confidence which the elections
reveal. Unless it wantonly throws away that
confidence, its future for many years 10 the
future of the United States. 1t has no
reason now to look for Democratic
blunders. Neither has it cause to lear
any Democratic washing and self-puri-
f;cation, for Democrats can never become dam
eerous again unless by Republican folly.
Best of all, the Republicans have
no occasion now to nominate any
other than their ablest and wOrthiest
man. for it is certain that with such
candidate they can triumph. They do
not need to get under the shell
ter of any name, nOr to hesitate
in the avOwal of their convictions, nor
TO shrink from giving its full reward
to splendid service. The confidence of
the united and loyal North will
sustain the Republican party as long
as it is true to its principles and
convictions. After the magnificent victories
which are to-day recorded, it will be
the fault of Republicans themselves if they
do not hold the public confidence securely
until the Rebel Democracy has ceased to exist.

QUE FRIENDS. THE ENEMY.

This election disposes of the TIlden eff
fort to kill off John Kelly. He is
bigger power to-day i'll the Democratic
party of New-York than on any pre-
vious day of his political life. Rebels who
succeed make good their status; and, besides,
his revolt had the sympathy OF thousands
who voted the regular ticket themselves, but
always felt that he could not be expected to.
Now, with his compact organization behind
him, with his successes on the city vote, with
the State nomination against which he pro-
tested overwhelmingly defeated, he can dictate
his terms can say to any who might still he
bitter enough to try to prescribe him, " With
enc, possible success; without me, certain
"defeat" Henceforth. for local politics, and
within the close corporation OF the Democratic
machine, John Kelly is a bigger man than
old Tilden.
But the defeat does not put an end
to Tiden He has made such fight
as no other Democrat in the State
could have made. Under all the disadvan-
tages of the situation, with the tremendous
ground-swel against the Democracy, with
the successive blows from California and
Maine and Ohio and Iowa. each more stun
ming than the last, with weak candidate
to whom he was bound, and such re-
volt in the ranks as this generation
of New-YOrk Democrats never saw, with
all the old leaders against him, with
such exposures as the lease of n State
railroad for dollar year, with an inefficient
State Committee and with his trustiest ieuten-
ants like Smith Weed and Pelton incapaci-
tated, with AL this against him, Mr.. TIlden has
nf arfv nd hal
them together so well that. where there was
no actual bolt, his ticket came startlingly near
election. Not another Democrat in the
State could have taken these odds and
come so near success. Not another
can 90 into the National Convention with such
plausible arguments us to his power to carry
to the Solid South the few Northern electoral
votes she needs.
