8 THE SITUATION. {Continnied from the First Pago) that tho Oommodoro began buying. Ho bought hoavily at 80 without ohiccking tho decline, aud continued to buy down to Buturdny, whon the prico recoded to 67. Then the Btook Exchango closod, the struot boeamo domoralizod, monoy wont out of sight, and all contraots stood in sboyanco. During tho week tho Commodoro™s purchasos had boon enormous, and, whon tho crash cnmo, lo was guable to roalizo monoy on hie sccurities to make'his pitrchases good.

This will grently relieve tho street and facilitnte tho rosnmption of business, The next largest biteh hinges on Osborn & Chapin, brokors for Jay Gould. The majority of outstanding contracts, other than thoso on Vandorbilt's acconut, aro traced dircctly to this houso; and they have beon unabloe to settle thus far, though it was reported yestorday that thoy wore doing something, which indicntes that their rrincipnl ay found somo monoy lying around oge, oose.

Whon these ara sottled, tho Exchange can bo ro- opened und business rosumed without serious troublo; but should a resumption be attempted sooner, the closing out of contracts under the rulo for these housos would canse a fenrful slaughtor of stocks, and tend to hold the mar- kot at its prosont doprossion, which would bo ruinous, —_—— COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. THE NEW YORIX BULLETIN. New Yorr, Sept. 23.—The Daily Bulletin to- morrow will havo the following editorinl: *Tho weck otosed with bopoful iudications that a re- action from the condition of tho panic has sct in. The demoralization does not progress, and mattors, to say the loast, aro no worso at those points whore danger is most to be approhonded, Tho feoling smony tho banks is bettor, and they aro ovidently holping thoir customers more freoly. The suspended soltlements of the Btook Ex- chango have boen so far got out of ihe way that tho Govorning Committes have announced tho oponing of the Board to-morrow, whon, from all the symptoms, an improved fooling aud bottor prices for securities may bo reasonably antici- pated. Tho timely liberality of banks to their customers has dono much toward staying the sproad of tho panic to all branches of trade,—n dangor which has un uontluuubli‘: been vory closely imponding. orchants have so fur provod able to hold their goods, instend of elaughtering them at panic prices, which is a most favorablo fonture. If matters can only bo beld a8 thoy now stand a day or two longer, "tho irropressible bougaucy natural to our poojle will enrry us into n roaction that will issuo in re- covery.” OAN GOVERNMENT RELIEVE THE MONETARY RE- VULSION ? From the Cincinnati Gazctte, Sent, 2T, 1f it cau, it should do it pronptly and heroleal- ly. Away with tho idlo talk that this is morely o railroad or stock speculators’ panic, It is a tonr- niquet npon the veins of moroy circulation. It is n stoppage of tholife blood of business. If not rolioved, it will nmgmml the_collection of public rovenue, Now York bankers suspend Ea;mantu and tie up the country's moans, and ring all businoss to o dead lock, and then they B0y to intorviowers, the * gituation looks botter,” and “ the panic has consed,” and so on, whilo its consoquences are reaching out over tho wholo ad. "Tho export of producoe is neaxy stopped by the impossibility of .umni; oxchange drawn ugainst it. This suspends tho produce markots of tho wholo country, and brings to & crisis all the credits involved in them, Thus the coun- try's resourcos aro paralyzed, Tho Secretary of the Trensury is urged to anticipate the payment of bonds duo next January by means of tho sur- plus gold, and thus supply moans to reliove tho exchauge market aud start the movement of produce, He nnswers that o clauso in that bill of abom- tnations, the Public C.odit bill, forbids. This was & superfluous pledge to resume speeio puy- mont befors redeeming any bonds not due, with o proviso which scems to noutralizo ib. It was no part of the obligation of cither groenbacks or bonds, It has no virtuo whatover, nnd it hag beon continually disregarded by premnture pay- ments of intorest. To dierogard it doos no in- jury to individuals or tho publio, - It tho Beocretary were satiatiod that the simple measure of paying a public debt n little in ad- vance of maturity would give any snbstantial n’:lle‘l, the roason for rofugal would be insufi- ziout. Regard for law is well. But the Government of Great Britain lins several times disregarded o vory importaut lnw to givo roliof in a monofary rovulaion such as this, Parlinment indoninified it. And witl not all tho National Bunks nced an act of indemuity ? An Administration with so great & majority at Ita back can truat Congross for an act to_ inden- nify it for paying publio debt a little before ma- turity to avort public calamily. And this much- worn olauso {8 very insignificant compared with the prohibition of” tho increass of tho bonded dobt, which yet has not Linderod n tomporary ingroaso in the rofunding through syndicates. None can bo more apprehensive than we of a practice of goverument intervention in the mon- ey markot, Dut the nccessitics of tho war in- volved the Government largoly in the monetary offairs of tho country. A Troasury administra- tion which for ton years has assumod to regulato the money market, must not wash its hands of it in a general calomity. The instinct of eoll-prosorvation is well for the Trensury ; but it can not cut loose from the coun- try. I tho dond-lock continues, it will soou cut off tho great excisos, and shrink the payment of oustoms, and thus a Belflsh policy of tho Tros- ury would defoat iteclf, \Vith tho intolligonce that tho Becretary will not draw on the $44,000,000 of rotired greenbacks to reliove the panic comes the stute- ment that ho stendfastly aflirms his logal power to reissue thom, This causes a painful idea that bo and the Presidont do not realizo the gravily of_tho situation. 1t ho belioves he has nuthority to issuo them, and means to issue thom if nocossary to the Trensury, then ho belioves ho has this resorve agoinst any peril from using the gold to pay those bonds, If ho lias abuudunt resourecs, aud can soe cloarly how to pour them iuto the chan- nels of circulation, *to move the crops,” now 1y the time to use them. In pragurllnn to what ho believes to be the amount of his means, will the gountry blame lim for failing to give roliof to the suiferings of the country. TWO EXPEDIMENTS FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGTION. From the New York 7Times, Sept. 20, Tt ie true that no failures woro announced yes- but it must be remembored that artificial co ancos have boon sot up to guard against failure.

From the New York Evening Post, Sept, 25, It is too muoh the habit of certain pooplo, whon thoy got in & strait, to ask othors to lielp thom out, instend of helping thomsolves out. Thoy are partioularly foud of turning to the Government, as if tho Governmont wore a sork of divinity, possessoed of the omnipotenco which i oqual to all offorts, and, what is mora impor- tant, of the omniscionce which discorns the wisest moans to overy end. Now, unfortanatoly, Governments are not endowed]with either of the divino_attributes. They nre, on the contrary, limited in power, and far morolimited in wisdom. Thoy can do, wo ndmit, 8 great deal; their influence upon political, social and financinl ovents is iremendous; but, according to our prevailing oxperience in the past, when they undortako to oxort it, they are mord likely to do mischiof than good. 'Tho men who aro usuall, intrusted with tho administration of aflairs, on who, a8 tho mysterious sbstraction called Gov~ ermment, assume tho largest proportions, sro vory muchliko other men a8 to tho fallibility of their i:ulgmumu. They may maka mistakes, and, when they do mistako, the offect of tha orror is disnstrous just In proportion to the power nscribed to tho instrument thoy wield. Thoy should, therefore, alwnya act with teu times or a hundred times the caution of private mon, whese conduct reaches only tho narrow circles in which thoy move. Thus far the National Government has be- haved with a proper degrea of prudonce and re- sorve, It hag scemed to bo conscious of tha re- sponsibilities Iaid upon it, of tho domsuds of law, and of the danger of establishing precedonts that may Lo wrostod to th most injurious euds. 1t has not been carried away by tho contagious oxoitements of tho street, as those in the imme- diate vicinity are apt to be, evon finanoial writers and cditors of commonly cool heads. It has maofully withstood the pressure from brokers who are already shaken to picces, and from mor- chants who are needlessly panic-stricken lost thoy should be. What it is allowed to do, and what it is abla to do, it has confessed a wlmnfi- noss to do, It has conecnted to redeom its 5-20 bonds to thoextont of $10,000,000; we sec norea- son why it should not go on redecming as long as thoso bonds aro offered ; it is thoroby only pay- ing its dobts, and at g, timo when the money it pays out is distressodly neoded ; indeed, we find no objection to the proposal that it provide for tho bonds due in Japuary noxt at this timo. On the contrary, it scoms to ns eminently fitting, if not imporafive. But furthor than this it must not go without the profoundest deliberation and hesitanoy, Thoy who counsel it to s direct issue of the rossorve of 44,000,000 which it has on hand, do not counsol wiscly, in our oplnion. In the first place, it hiag no law for any such proceeding, a8 we hiave demonstrated timo and time again, with the concurrenco of the best authorities ; in the second place, such an issue can bo but a pallin- tive, which mitigates the more immedinto symptoms of tho diseaso, but renders a fatal tormination of it more certain; and, in the third place, it will intorfore with a normal and healthful process of recuporation, which Las al- ready bogun, 28 we think, and which, if not iu- terrupted, will put us in a really sound condi- tion much sooner and more pormauently than all the dovices and expedients—quack nostrums —recommended in Wall stroot.
