If there is any one thing upon which


the Union men of Cleveland have fully


and finally resolved, it is that the odious


usurpations of Andrew johnson shall be


terminated, and that "my policy shall


not be thrust down the throats Of the
members of the Union party. Let. them
manifest their stern determination to
stand by their principles against Presi-
Dental treachery, tonight. This evening,
at the various ward and township meet
ings, delegates to the County Union Con-
vention are to be chosen. Let the Union
men who believe that the Union should
be made perpetual, be present in full force.
Let them send to the County Convention
none but those whose patriotism, integri-
ty and stern opposition TO the policy Of
q forswrom and trescherous President are
beyond question. Above all, let them send
no Federal office-holders TO that conven-
ton. Such men may be sound, but there
is reason to fear that not all Of them are
above the temptations of official power
and patronage. And the delegates to the
coming convention, like Cesar's wife,
should not only be pure, but should be
above suspicion.


If the Union voters will only turn out
en- nsasse tonight, all will be well. If
they do not, and if as consequence the
wire-workers of the Johnson-Herold
clique get control of the coming conven-
ton, it will be their own fault

Additional reconstruction testimony was

The foreign financial and commercial


intelligence brought by the steamer Cuba


last evening, reporting E universal panic
in the English markets, the details of


which will be found in our telegraph col


umns, is of them most profound significance,
and cannot fail to cause serious uneasiness,
| If not alarm, to the business community
of this country. A financial revulsion in
England has been for sometime regarded,
in well-informed financial circles, as BY
no means an impossible event, but crisis
Of so universal and sweeping character
Is Is indicated by the Cuba's dispatches
could not have been anticipated. What
the immediate causes of this state Of
things are, future intelligence must de-
yelop; but it is safe to attribute it mainly
to the speculative mania which for the
past four years has permested nearly
every branch of trade in that country not
less than in this, and the attempt to re-
cover from which has developed degree
Of rottenness unparalleled in financial or
commercial history. A remote cause may
also doubtless be found in the losses sus-
tanned by those who aided the rebellion
by money and material, receiving little
more therefor than the paper certificates
for so much cotton in the event of the
success of the confederacy.


The feature Of this news, however
which viii perhaps command the largest
interest here, is the announcement of the
failure of Sir Morton Peto,-an event that
viii surprise every one who knew any
thing of the man, while it will at the
same time awaken, we cannot doubt, sin
eere regret and sympathy.


His liabilities are stated to be four mil
lions sterling, equal to about twenty mil
lions dollars. It is fair to presume that
the interests in this country with which
Sir Morton was identified will suffer to
some extent by this most unexpected turn
in his affairs, but how far cannot of course
be now estimated.


The effect of the panic upon our mar
kets cannot but be of decided character.
Five-swenties closed nominal in London
on the 18th at eo@e5, and railway securi-
ties suffered heavy decline 1t is esti-
mated that English capitalists hold fifty
millions of Hve-twenties, and these will
probably be returned Immediately. Mean
time all demand for cotton and produce
will cease. This combination of adverse
Influences must of necessity force up the
gold premium, while it will prolong the
period of specie exports. If, however, it
does nothing more than this there viii be
no cause of complaint, but it cannot be
concealed that there are greater difficulties
to be apprehended.

A SUDDEN CURE.-A professed


thief named Dugal McCaul, in the


highlands of Scotland, went out


on an excursion one night accom-.


panied by young man who was


learning the same trade. The


latter was to take sheep, while


McCaul was stealing kale, and
both were to meet in a neighbor-
ing churchyard, where they would
not be likely to be molested, as
the place was said to be haunted.
McCaul arrived first and sat upon
one, of the gravestones waiting
for his companion. In a neigh
boring farmhouse a crippled tailor
happened to be at work, and the
conversation having turned upon
the churchyard being haunted, he
taunted some young men present
with cowardice, saying that he
would readily go If he were not
lame. Upon this a young man Of
fered to carry him there upon his
back, to which the tailor agreed,
and they were soon at the place.
McCaul heard them, and supposing
his companion with the sheep, in
quired, els he fat?"


"Fat or lean, there he is for ye,"
replied the terrified young man,
throwing down the tailor and run
ming away at full speed. Upon
his return at the farmhouse to the
of all, he found the
tailor close at his heels-his fright
had given him the use of his legs,

It is said that Judge Crozisr desires to

doing. At one time. we hear it reported

Ter of Bank, and intends to resign ;

ought to stand back. because be cannot
be spared from the bench. We have no
doubt that NJ. Crozier is an excellent
Judge; but there are other gentlemen
who would probably be as good. We
never liked this business of "greasing q
fst goose"-that is. piling lucrative po-
sitions upon some favored individual,
who already has good thing. The Of
fee Of Bank Cashier no doubt pays Judge
Crozier handsome salary. upon which
he can live comfortably. But one thing
is certain-the people should demand
that he give up either bis position in the
Bank or on the Bench. Banks and 9TH
or corporations probably have more ca
ses before the Supreme Conrt than any
other branch of business or trade. A
large portion of the community even re-
gard Banks as swindling monopolies.

Banks. Even should bis individual
Bank not have any cases before the Court,
others wouli /; and in their cases. he

him with being q corrupt man. for we

that the position of officer of monied
