HOPES.
Americans accepted the overwhelming proofs
Of EnglMld's ::tfcct:ul.a:e sympathy toward
THEM which lies deep in the heart Of the
mother country. The demonstrations Ut sucll
papers, speaking for millions Of British
people, deserve 1T least as much attention lis
those of the political and fashionable world.
The Saturday 1.crictp is the only cxces-
ton AMONG these, tile latter publishing two
articles, both guarded by phrases Of conyen-
Iional regret but both offensive.

was sent by cable III substance IL the Times,
and produced an extremely unfayor;lble I'LL

States Legation and other American centres
are still bcset by throngs Of inquirers-
Minister Lowell, besides manifesto

and other personages, receives daily
many touching messages from private indi-

that Mr.. niaine's admirable :lild most :ac-

saying that his courage is as remarkable as
the soundness Of his constitution; that his
conduct since wounded is thoroughly Amer
lean, and that he is very courageous, full IF
domestic kindness, and tinged slightly
with grim sense of ll1linor.
Eminent surgeons ut first were
Inclined to despair Of his recovery, but now
they say, recognizing the ski1Ifulness Of the
treatment, that they share the hopefulncss
prevailing at Washington.
English journals and public men of every
shade Of politics estimate with singular
accuracy the disastrous consequences to be
apprellended from Mr.. Conklil1.'s accession
to power.
THE - SYNDICATE OF LIAEso
has been exceedingly active this week. It's
agents have taken advantage of The attempt
ed murder Of the President to create Il panic
in the stock market by the circulation of n11-
nlerous disgustin. rliunrs, SOME Of which
are supposed to lave been set anoat by
Kcelle's party. Most Of these runors
have been started in carly business hours,
after the publication OF the morning papers,
SO that the ''syndicate - had Il clear day for
carrying on their operations before their
canards could be denied by tile New York
dispatches Of the following morning. The
rnmors were to the effect that great finan-
cial crisis is imminent i'll the United States:
that
GEN. AnTuuR's ACCESSION TO THE rl:Esr- |

with England: that the fiscal policy of your |
Government would be reversed. and trade |

in the Presidency would go near to pro-

"syndicate" have been exerted to create the
impression that general crash in railroad

British public receive these stories with
suspicion, the effect las been to unsettle the
market and cause a fall i'll prices.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE
resounds every day with these alarmist cries, I
and the yigor with which they are kept up
and reinforced by fresh canards almost from
hour to hour shows that the ''bcar" clique

beginning to understand this, and the Stand

tlo not care to inquire, publishes-alld with
great display-eyery item its New York
agent sends in the interest of the Wall street

THE "DA1LY NEws,''
which ought to know better, repeats ctlitorf-
