THE BOOM or BuNINEss.
How the New York JobbInE Houses are
Driven by the Press Of Pail orders.

NEw YoRK, September 0.-The World
says Of the jobbing houses, on Lower
Broadway:
Broadway looked yesterday as il busi.
ness men had lost their tempers and had
emptied the contents Of their stores on the
sidewalk, taking the wise precaulion OF
first packing the goods. The citizen on
his way up town made one soldier in u
long, single file as he stepped out from
Chambers street, and II he had been tall
enough to survey the tops Of the long row
Of hats, he would have found that the line
extended past Canal, past Grand street,
and, flnally, at Houston becalnea a double
file. The Inconvenience became so great
that the policemen were frequently called
upon to remove the barrlcades. For IN
stance, at Broadway and White street, the
path was hardly wide enough for stout
citizen TO pass.
A member Of the firm OF Durham, Buck
ley & Co., owned that the boxes bad come
from his warehouse but said that there was
not the slightest probability OF clearing
the sidewalk until 2 A. NJ. The store house
was so jammed that the floor was creak-
ing. They had received more orders this
fall than ever before, and were doing their
best TO ship the goods. all the country
salesmen had made their purchases, and
the country dealers were looking anxl-
ously for their stock. For the past week
his hands had been working until past
midnight, with little expectation oil any
relief for a fortnight
Mr.. Bates, OF Bates, Reed & Cooley, on
the opposite side OF the street, explained
that the fall trade bad far onIrun all
prophecies. An immense amount OF goods
was being sent all over the country. In
Texas, particularly, the trade was very
lively.
The street in front OF 1hos. NJ. Argall's
warehouses was crowded in the same way:
"Too busy to BREATHE" explained one OF
the firm, as he hurried inside. ltwas the
same all along North street.
Allen, Lane 4 Co., at No. 10S, were
keeping open until long after dark, and
sending away immense quantities OF goods.
Nelson Bros, next door, had their sleeves
rolled up aud stood upon the doorsleps
signing papers aud giving orders. Had
den & Co. and the Williamantre Linch
Company, on the same block, said, too.
that all hands were working until 10 and
l2 o'clock at night. 1t appears that trade
was never livlier 10 the fall. Prices have
advanced somewhat over the September,
1879, prices, but still are not high.

graphs as follows regarding the effect Of
the Vermont victory on the Democratic:
"The more candid OF the Democratic lead.
ers here do not seek to couceil their dis
appointment at the result in Vermont.
They did not look for Republican gains,
and they expected their own side to do bet
ter than 1t would appearthey have done.
True said one Of the National Commit-
tee this afternoon, we had but little
money and few speakers to send up tho q,
but We had assurances that neither wee
needed. However, the effect will be -
impress upon our folks the fact that they
are not going to have a walk over, as maj y
OF them seem to think Hancock is q he :
himself, but he can only be elected by
hard work and by improving every hour
OF the time that remains between now and
November. There has been too much Of
this valuable time wasted here in New
York between Tammany and anti. .Tamma-
ny. That Is about stopped now, hut II Is q
pity the energy that was wasted had not
been applied 10 Vermont. In that case
there would not have been any such re-
suit as Is now recorded. We must do bet
ter in Maine and in Indiana, or we shall
90 into the November fight with un-
pleasant anticipations.'

morning the first victims OF the disaster
were brought up from the mine. Before
all the bodies could be removed the FIRE
again broke out and was not extnguished
until o'clock. One hundred and thirty
Is the lowest estimate OF the dead, and 1t
is estimated there were 400 horses and
ponies in the mine. The bodies OF IL men
brought up are frightiully disfgured.
There are II more bodies near tile pit

other bodies can be recovered and some
may never be found, as they are buried
under the debris OF the explosion. An.
other fire has began in No. 8 shalt at the
ventilating furnace; this will delay ex-
ploration. From the list published 1t ap-

The latest official statement places the

tive Aiken, Of South Carolina, has been
making speech at Townville, in his dis.
trict, at a Democratic rally. The Charles.

Northern Democrats for "iusincerity and
prejudice toward the South" he declar.
ed that they did not make fair division
Of the appropriations; but they had 70.
fused 10 restore the old Mexican soldiers
from the South TO the pension lists; that
they maintained high tariff, and that the
Southern Democratic majority should not
any longer consent to be governed by the
Northern Democratic minority. He also
said that the better class Of the people In
the North are generally Republicans, and
that they possess the brains, the money
and the culture oil that section OF the
country.
For this the NaSs thus calls for his
prompt suppression:
sit will be an unfortunate thing for the
party and the State II he is allowed TO
make any more Townville speeches at the
Democratic mass meetings. II he has
nothing more interesting aud instructive
10 talk about than the shortcomings Of
the Northern Democracy; II he has no
ideas on political economy TO ventilate, or
no suggestions Of benefit to the industrial
interests OF the country to make, IL would
be better for him to preserve an unbroken
silence through the balance Of the cam.
paign. II. however, he can get rid OF his
hobby and feel compelled TO speak, he
should, ut least, not be allowed to, com.
plain in this manner at Democratic meet.

Chas. II. Aiiiis, Corresponding Secretary, tic.:
DEAR SIR:-Please pardon the uninten-
tional delay in acknowledging yonr letter
advising me that your club had honored
me- by the bestowal OF its membership.
Unconditional" being your chosen title,
the clubs mission Is, no doubt, to aid the
Republican organization, and In this,work
1t has my hearty sympathy. No govern.
ment, church, party, society, industry, or
enterprise can proceed wisely or eiFectually
except by organization. In every combi.
nation OF men errors will occur as long as
human nature is human and men are
made OF clay. But they give most help
and do most good who, abiding in the
ship, strive faithfully to keep her in the
right course. Whatever conflicts Of opin.
ion there may have been as TO the past or
the preliminary steps, all Republicans
should now be one against common ad.
versaly. In every work OF your club in.
spired by this purpose / am with you,
