i'll Denver, Col, yesterday, as announced in
the GAZETTE, was tho topic Of conversation
on the streets last night. There was gen
cral expression of regret that the unfortun-
ate man WAS not allowed to remain in ban
ishmcnt. Detective Jacob mot James,
Johnson, of Euston, Pa. who made the ar
rest, was in this city about month ago,
and in company with police officer James
smith, called on Il number of parties for the
purpose OF asccrtnning what amount Of re-
ward would be given for the arrest of Ncale.
He stated that Nealr was then in California,
and that he could put his hand upon him at
any time; that Nealei every movement had
been watched from the Saturday he left
Alexandria, and a record had been kept of
his wandcrings. Upon learning that the
Interested parties in this city would not re-
ward him for the capture Of Neale the de-
tcctivc left, and nothing more was thought
of the matter until the dispatch announcing
the arrest was read The dispatch, which
l. supposed To have been made up by John
son, IL incorrect in many Of its statements.
Ncale does not owe the Messrs danger
fields of this city one cent, nor did he en-
bczzle any widow of Alexandria out of any
money. There is no charge Of embezzle-
ment against him, but there is All Indictment
found by the grand jury of the United
States Circuit Court i'm Richmond, charging
him with violation of the national banking
laws.

Especial Telegram to the Globe. ]


New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The Northwestern
railroad war is having pronounced effect
on the stock market. On change to-day
the stocks of all the roads involved in the
controversy led in a general break. Rock
Island, st. Paul preferred and common,
Omaha preferred, and Northwestern were
alike affected, and other securities followed
in the general weakness. Eastern roads
were depressed by scare over threatened
disaster to the iron trade, it being rumored
that mills generally were preparing to shut
down. The bears were largely reinforced
to-day besides by the acquisition to this
ide of several prominent operators, there
being large independent movement to
sell. At one time it looked as if everybody
was unloading.
This was the condition of affairs at the
opening this morning, Wall street being
flooded with orders to sell the grangers,
and Omahas, and stocks generally highly
feverish and holders nervous. In conse-
quence the first sale of Northwestern was
2 per cent. below the closing price of Sat-
urday. Later in the day it sold at $1.34.
st. Paul was the next to feel the effect of
free sales, and dropped to 1885. The pre-
ferred stock suffered severely also. Rock
Island declined to SIPS. The coalers
were attached later, and the market be-
came little panicky, everything giving

hrie DIS been sold in large amounts by
Prr Iminent houses. The bears have not
.'een slow in relating all
kinds of rumors to resist and assist the de-
cline. At the end the market was weak
and unsettled, the bears having everything
their own way and confident that this is
but the beginning of downward move
ment. It is expected that the Vanderbilt
clique will rally to the support of its lines
to-morrow,but there appears to be nothing
to hold off Northwestern stocks unless
there should be more prospects of a
speedy settlement of the existing difficult
ties. All through the day there has been
intense excitement, which shows no sign of
abating. Money has been in great de-
mand. at one time loaning as high as 20
per cent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The supreme court at

company vs.. the city of Chicago, affirming
the Judgment of the lower court. The his
tory of the case, III brief, is: The city

ing the road was laid within one year.
Subsequently the city interfered and stop
ped the construction of the line, and it
was not completed in the time specified.
The Judgment of the supreme court is
that the road did not forfeit its rights, ar d
must now be permitted to extend its track
to Van Buren, street. The effect of the de-
cision is to bring the terminus. of the

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The business world has its seasons of
sunshine and cloud. In regular succession
times of great prosperity activity and
thrift are followed by revulsions, depres-
sions, failures, losses and ruin to many.
We are going on at present in period of
great business activity and success, but there
are not wanting those who pervously fear
that the brink is being reached. Business
failures, already, are multiplying in num-
Der, many small failures, but fanked
by not few large ones. The cause of this
is believed to be overtrading, the grasping
at measure OF business not warranted by
the capital behind it; astretching of credit
beyond the limit of safety.
While there is reckless push on the
part of many, there is a more cautious,
moderate spirit prevailing on the part
of others, but even that is stimulated in
undue degree by the greater activity and
dash of those more adventurous, and with
everything to gain. Speculation steps in
to infame the greed of the vast numbers
who are making haste to be rich. Specu-
lation is always hazardous, often ruinous
to the operators, and depressing, rather
than otherwise to the larger class of the
community, moderate in material circum-
stances, without surplus capital, and
dependent on daily labor, or
to strict attention to various
lines of business for support. The most
pernicious line of speculation is in the
cereals, in pork, in the various commodi-
ties that go to make up the living support
of householders. The cost of living is thus
depressingly enhanced, or the laboring
class suffer, that great spectators may
make their corners and thrive.
This is an unhealthy state of business
affairs, and is sure to bring reaction and
disaster.
Sagacious men claim to hear the mutter-
ings of the storm, and cry halt to spec
ulation and extravaganza. Their warning
admonition is, to take in sail and keep out
of debt-curtail expenses avoid extrav-
agance in living, in dress, in building bust
ness or dwelling houses, but builders may
erect establishments for others to occupy.
We would not be prophet of evil, but
would utter nevertheless caution to be
discreetely careful and not greatly venture
some. The tendency is, all over the land,
to extravaganza in business, and in evry-
thing overtrading is the root of sure dis
aster. A few short years ago, gold flowed
into our Golfers from foreign
lands. Now, gold is flow
coming out from us. We import more
than we export. The balance of trade is
against us. It Il an alarming fact that
our importations include vast amounts
expended not in ;,ubstantials, but in ex-

ELECTING 4 PRESIDENT IN 1854.

The New York Sum has prepared table
of electoral votes on the basis of the cleo
ton results this year. The outlook is de-
cidedly encouraging to the Democrats.
But then it must be remembered that the
Presidential election is yet two years away
and that important and decisive contin
gencies may arise in the meantime that ECO
political prophet can foretell. He must be
an over sanguine politician who now con-
siders the victory won. With
probabilities on the Democratic
side, possibility of failure remains. Gov
elect Cleveland, OF New York, consider
ately, says: 'The resultin 1884 will depend
almost entirely upon the conduct of the
two parties during the intervening pc
raod.'
The action of each party, between this
and 1884, will shape and determine the re-
salt. If the Democratic party follows up
its advantages with wisdom, proper for
bearance and good sense, and in the spirit
of true reform, the table presented by the
San may not be far wrong. The Sun says:
We have been asked to prepare and
print table showing how the electoral
votes of the several states would be divid-
ed between the two parties if the states
should 60 in 1884 as they have gone this
| fall
With pleasure, for what it is worth. 1t
| is we'll enough to recall the iact that an
enumeration of this sort published by the
San just after the elections of 1878, indi-
Gated Republican majority of fifty-one
in the electoral vote of 1880, and that the
| actual result varied little from this esti-
mate, Garfeld's majority in the electoral
colleges being fifty nine.
In the following table we have been
guided for the most part by the vote cast
this fall for state officers wherever state
tickets we're run, aud in other cases by the
vote on congressman. There are few
exceptions to this rule. New Jersey
elected Democratic Legislature, but a
majority of Republican congressman; we
have put New Jersey on the Democratic
side. But we have given to the Republic
cans, Colorado and Kansas, although a
Democratic governor was elected in each,
and Virginia, which is of uncertain politi-
cal value on account of Malone.
It will be observed that the new appor-
tionment of representatives has carried
the total electoral vote from 369 to 4O1,
and the majority needed for an election

The Pittsburgh Daily Dispatch, the lead
ing anti Cameron Republican journal in
Western Pennsylvania, has this to say in
regard to Grants flop in the Fitz John
Porter case:
In the North American Rerie,o for De-
cember ex-President Grant has his long
expected article defending Gen. Fitz John
Porter from the imputations cast upon
him by himself Grant years ago, and
advising that the faint be removed from
him. 1t is manly for Grant to con-
fess the wrong done to Porter if he thinks
he was wrong, but what must be thought of
the judicial conscience and official intelli-
gence of a man who went over every de-
tail Of the case years ago, in which the
freedom, almost, of noted soldier was in
volved, and now suddenly admits that he
was wrong at that time, and proceeds to
show by strategical diagrams what care
less or thick-headed fellow he has been
these many years? But if satisfied that he
was wrong in his former judgment he de-
serves credit for his present action.

The interests of partisan politics will
secure the admission of Dakota as state,
at the next session of Congress. The Re-
publicans have majority in both Houses,
and as the admission of Dakota as state
would SECURE two additional Republican
Senators, such, of course, would be Ia de-
sirable accession for the Republicans now
while they have the power, as the next
House will be Democratic. Thus, though
the House will be Democratic, the Senate
will be Republican, and will so continue,
in any event, for several years to come.
