And Itis s very rare thing indeod that o markod difforonte in tho rice of whoat romaing in the two cities; the {nforanco is, thercfore, that at somo timo it will bo tho eamo for both, This spociesof equilibri- um was found to hold about two weeks ago, swheroupon the Alilwaukeeana recoverod thoir ghorts.

Gront was the oxcitoment on 'Change yester- .day morning, and grontor did it booomo as tho hands of tho Chember of Commorco clock moved slowly round the dial. It was the cul- minating polbt of tho great wheat coruor, aud 18 very largo numbor of speculators succeodod in burning their poor_ fingors, it Was not an une expacted thing to find that tho Chamber of Com-~ merco was crowded. Almost overy oporator, whethor bolonging to tho clasa of speculationd ironically termed logitimato or to that clasg candidly rogarded as_illogitimato, was prosont on 'Chiango. Tho gullory was crowded, too, for overybody wantod his frionds to_obaervo tho do- moralizing offoct upon one's solf-rospoct that o corner can produce, and, being o miserabla sin- ner bimself, was anxious that the miscries of hia follows in affliction ehould be duly appreciated. At 11 o'clock the Chatobor of Commerce was LIKE A LUNATIO ABYLUM, on alargo ecalo. Hundreds of shorts crowded vound tho rat-pit in tho centro of tho hall, just as flics do when & tumbler has boon ruroitly turned over them, and a corner on their liberties succesefully aclicved, Thoy know that no hope remained for thom, Tho ounly avonue of cecape was through tho chock-book, and, though THE AMOUNTS WERY.

This was eup- posod to offer to some of the shorts an avenuo of cseapo, aud awey thoy wont with the experi- mont of making “wash” trados; or, if tho rondor of Bpotless Integrity moy have dimly dis- cornod, gottiug up salos among thomsolvon at $1.20 or thereabouts to reduce tho aversge.

Quito a numbor gathered around him, and n scone that would astonish a strangor was tho rosult, Onoe man pulled out his Eakl watch, unhooked tho heavy chain from his Dutton-hole, and handed it to the cornoror, saying: “Mr. Young, I have no monoy with me now; here's my watch; will call to- morrow, fottle up, and rodeem.” This man was_followod by over adozon othors, bearing thoir time-picces in thelr hands, who mado sub- stantinlly the same remarks, Tho watchos camo in go fast that Mr. Young was flually compelled to BORNOW A MAT tohola_them, A sceno like this fs not unusunl on tho Bonrd, In the smallost doals it is custom- ary for the loser, if Lie has no monoy bandy, to doposit somothing of valuo, not as o pledgo ox- nctly, but ns & guarantoo that ho will fulfill hig contract to tho lottor, and on time. The mkhss of tho watchos wns about tho Inst act porformo in tho coruer yostordny. NOT IN IT. Tho ' sssortion 8o confldently made by loning partios that Mr. John B. Lyon was tho brains of the cornor and a shuror in its profits, was stron= wously doniod yesterday by every friond of thnt gentloman on’Change. Tho statoment of an evening paper to the effect that Mr. Lyon wag on tho wrong side, that lio was o bonr instead of o bull, and that tha corner would catch him as badly ns he hoped to cateh others Ingt yoar, wns alo donicd by persons who claim to havo an in- timato knowlodgo of his business relations. If thoy are to bo bolioved, and there scoms to bo 1o valid ronson why thoy should bo doubted in tho least, ho had neithor a direct nor indiroct connection with_the corner, cither on the win- nln7 or losing eide. Tho oxpoctations were that the larger number of “shorta” would demur about moking o eottle- mont, but those anticipations were destined not to boronlized. Ever aud mnon in Mr. Young's ofico, oithor that healthy-looking broker or his oqually happy friond Dunham, would learn that 80 and A0 lind sottled nt $1.40; vo many bushels. About 100,000 bushols Lind beon proviously sot- tled, and at 6 o'clock only 180,000 bushels ro- mained of noarly s million, Y G 0’0LOCK ovorybody hind sottled, with tho oxcoption of two or {hroo well-known operators, who Jjointly roprosentod 80,000 bushels only. Tho ronson for their not immediately following the examplo sot thom by thoir follows in adversity wasn novel one, The supposition had gono abroad that John B. Lyon was interested in the corner, Bovoral daily papers ventured the agsortion that ho was ‘‘running it through Bill Young.” Thia rumor Tue TRIBUNE coutradicted yeatorday, but the shorts would not yet bolieve it. Thoy had claims against Mr. Lyon, and, supposing that he hed employed their capital to capturo thom, _vefused to mako any gottlomont with him.’ Whon thoy bo- como convincod that the fm“ cornorer of ~last yoar has nothing to do with the prosont oxeite- mont, thoy will immediatoly sottlo. ‘Thus Lias Mr. Young succooded in carrying out his design. The corner has been entiraly suce cogaful, and & profit of about $130,000 squoezed out of it without breaking anybody. A Corner in Tolcdo, Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, Torepo, 0., July 81.—~Tho scone upon 'Chango to-dny was one of tho wildost excitement ever known in the history of the Board of Trade in this city.

Lator in the sodslon, the **bulla™ bid ¥2.00, and 10,000 bush- els wero taken at that rate, Tho shorts, np- prociating their situation, mustored thoir forces, aud sold 84,000 bushels at $1.60, two ‘miuutes beforo the gong sounded for endiug tho sossion, and tho meeting broko up in tho grent- ost excitoment. Immodiately aftor tho clearing, tho Board mot, and declared the averagoe of salea £o bo91.653¢, sud that sottlemontsshould bomado at that figure. The ““long™ intorost donounced this decision as unjust, asserting that the last sates at 81.50 to bofictitions, and not logally enti- tled to calculation in arriving at the average, The mooting for compromise is to bo held to- morrow morning, and if o highor aversgo can~ not bo obtained a contest ig threatoned. It is impossiblo to arrive at an approximation of tho short intorost, but it is put as high sa 124,000 Dbushels, No failures aro expected, biit some firms will )i‘rabnb!y bo crippled. All tho firms ougaged in tho transaction olaim to be uninjured, and stato that the affair wns oporated by outsido parties, but it scoms thore aro good grounds for olioving that the corner was the work of threo prominent firms of the city.

Most of tho Domocratio m}mm linve advised the movemont not to move i1l tho 6th of Augnat Democritio Conyontion, A jourual horeubout, whioh since it unfor- tunnfo vonturo in tho Grealoy party has beon anxiously socking o placo, and hay Leen whrlok- ing with'all its might to call attontion to this do uomoflxln)}i 8o tho Allen Oounty movement persong aud Brinkorhofr's Liberala bargainod on oqual torms and conlosced. A full tioket for Stato oflicors wns roported b{ll committes, and takon ot ono dose, Thisis tho o#rv way auch n bargaln and divislon can bo earried ont. As nofthor sido had any offects, tho arrangement wna onsy. ‘Thoy shared tho nominations equally. The ticket is composod of harmloss and inoffon- sivo mon, aud it nggregato in hnrmloss and in- offensivo. Wo congratilato tho parties in_bulle and sevorally on their nominations, We know ar lnn( reason why wo should not commend the clot. Every now party musé havo a platform, and thoro i 10 the Amorioan pooplo a poculiar gonine for coustructing these articles. Tho platform is also Larmless and inoffonsive. Most of it any one could porform a *walk round” in, and it thero La any oxcoption it must bo oxctisad by il strosa of composition, tho nocossition of tho sit- uation, or tho oxuborance of rhetoric which is common £o guch Inbors, As it i sald principles aro oternal, it is no_objectlon to the platform that it containa nothing that is not already much worn. Inasmuch as 8omo of tho Convantion's ‘most oarnost advisora Liavo agsurad it that it will Do bottor for tho now party’s virtie that it shall not bat thia year, it Las o abidiug consolation alrondy Iaid up, The Conyoution did not accopt Ar, Groos- beck's oxcellont ndvice a8 to a name for the new pacty, whoreby ho proposed to Join the anclont doad odor of tho Domocratio name with the smoll of tho more recent decomposition of Liboral, It took tho pamo of Pooplo's party; robably for tho roason that it is unknown to i peoplo.

Wo 800 no renson’ why anyboay ehould not hold a conveution, and nomiuato a ticket, and mako a platform. ' It ia a harmlcss onjoymont. Thao tickot is composod of inoffonsive mon, and doubtless, somo one looka upon hid work in tue composition of ihe platform with pride. Why nhm:e% suy bo forbidden this inoffensivo enjoy~ meonl From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratfe), July i1, THE BIRTH OF TIHE NEW PARTY. The ambitious aud discontonted politicians who assombled fn Columbus yestorday fo tho number of 200, properly, and in due form, govo birth to the mnow party which is to control tho future and bring about the political millonnium. Tt is to bo callod tho * Pooplo's party.” A sone tentious platform wne ndugtud and a fnll tioket placed in the field. At tho hond of the ticket stands Judge Tsanc O. Colling, & man of good ro- puto, plonsant mannors, but no forco, Ilois o residont of this clty, and has_for soveral yonrs boen big with tho bolief that mothin but & now political organization, in whicl ho should ocoupy & prominont position, could save tho country from tho dogs. Ilo is about 45 yonrs of age. 1le comos of s diseat- istled family, and in his own porson has taken ocension quite often to exhibit a remarkablo lack of political sngacity. Hin brothor waa elocted to Congross by tho Froo Soil Third Party from 8t. Lawreuco and Lowin Couuties, New York, in 1848, Tho Jml&;u himaolf supported tho third ticket, composod of Van Buren and Adams, in tho Presidontinl canvass againat Onss and Butler. His tickot didn't carry a Btato in the Union, and hardly o county, for tho matter of that, ' ir. Collins was olacted to the Common Plons Bonch of thia county in_1859, I.Y tho Democracy, Iis opponent was Judgo Dickson. Lo mado & fair Judgo, Ho was n Ponco Domocrat during tho ~ wor, Ho desired to go to Con- ross lost fall from tho First District, ut Hon. Milton Saylor Iaid him out niooly. _Ho loft tho party for good about that timo. Tiis rocord is not such as to commond hit to Domocratio support, and, upon the wholo, ho may bo considored an excoodingly weal can- didato, A more available man might have oasily boon choson from the Lalf-dozon named talked of by tho farceurs. The Convention, wo obgerve, selected Mr. A, Baundors Piatt as its candidato for Lioutonant- Govornor, Mr. P. is & brother of Donn Piatt, o isnot romarkable for stability, political or otherwise, Ho rosides at West Liborty, Logan County, Olio, and tills tho soil. o is & man of {ino litorary attninmont, but s too much of o transcondontalist to succood in the field to which ho has boon suddenly sud unoxpeotodly called. The farmors aro oxpected to take care of him, Soraplim Moyors, of Stazk, tho gontloman of Republican aufecodonts, who is named for At- toroy-Gouoral, lasn't’ tho homor of our ac- uaiutanco, P. B, Eving, of Tairflold, ono of tho nominces for Buprome Judgo, is an eider brothor of Gen, Ewing, and has filled tho posi- tion of Common Ploas Judgo quite croditably. AMr. Doitt Clinton Loudou, of Brown County, the othor candidato for Supromo Judgo, is o lnw- 5‘” of vory medorato ability, 1la was an old-lino emocrat, but joined the Republican party dur- ing the war. 1fo calls himself o Liboral now. Ho has beon an unfortunato politician, aud lns no following at homo. The other geutlemen on tho ticket, g0 fur as wo know, are avoragoe human beings, and no more. ‘Tho now party, judging from our standpoint, doos not como 1uto tho Wworld undor flnticring auspiced, The mon who stood as godfathors to it nt Columbus yostorduy mny bo caruest and sincero, but they will b looked upon as political edventurors, Their dosire to roform the politics of the country may be intonse, but their promiso 18 no greater than that of other political orpan- izations. Down doep in the hearts of thewo movora lics tho thirst for powor aud the dogire for o political organization which will lit ob- sowre” mon into placo aud notoriety. It is apparent to an obsorver that tho Lib- oral olement which co-operated ~with the Democracy lnst fall was but slightly rep- rosentod ~ at Columbus yosterdsy.” The loading ummu ‘wore nnhnr&y ‘Domocrots. "fho rank aud fllo of tho Liberal Ropublicnns will act with tho regular Democratio organization, wo tako it, in countios whoro thoy have no orguni- zation of their own. To snm up, tho new party, which comea to us with a flourish of trumpots, 18 Lut & weak and puny affair. The meegro Con- vention, the indifferenco with which its action is recolvod, and tho choractor and antacadents of the participants, 1l go to provo that tho oft-ro- peated declaration that thoro was o grest Eupulnr domand for & now_ party was ut o delusion and snaro. Tt is not a people’s movement, and it will nover bes como o Poople's ' party. Tho mauvagers, through thoir platform, propose nothing that cannot bo obtainod through the rogonerated, liberalized, and modernizod Domocratic party. ‘Wo logk upon this movement now as but au i wurroction among tho quartermasters and con tractors of tho Domocratic party. Their offorts will bo malnly diroctod againat that organization, but it will rige suporior to their assaults. Itis understood that tho founders of tho now party ask no afiliation or co-operation with tho Domo- cratio Puty. Lot us seo to it, then, that thoy do not recofve any. ;The Domocrgcy, on tho 6th of August, can “nominato a good ticket, and adopt o platform which will bo in- dorsed by overy truo reformer In tho Stato. With our consont, the tickot nominated on that doy will contnin the namo of no man nominated at” Columbus yestorday. Wo counseled and ln- borod for ponco ond harmouy botwoon men claiming to labor for s common cause, but tho leadera of the now party havo tasted of tho ine sane root, and thoy have doclured war upon tho Domocratio organization. Tt is nob rendy to surrendor to & handfull of political ndventurers, and it will agsort itaclf on the Oth aftor the old mannor, and clotho itsolf with o now glory. TIE NEW PARTY TLATFORX.
