Tho fruth is that Chicago is the only large city in the . United Btates, oxceps 8an Francisco, whero the banks have not suspended, The loan-cortificate buelness which has been adopted clsewhere in itsolf an act of suspension. In Chicago, sll bank balances are settled with greenbacks, ps thoy sbhould be. What the future may bring forth I8 another question ; but we venture to predict that the bauks of Chicago will, inany @vent, betho last ones in the country to suspond, and that thero aro institutions hore that will not euspend, oven though every bauk in Cincinnati -and New York cloges its doors. Tn a recent ¢asp of breach-of-promise in Now York, Judge Neilson, of Brooklyn, used the fol- lowing remarkable langusge: **Inan engage- wment to marry, the contract can be entored into betveen lovers without his asking in words tho guestion whether she will marry him, and withe out ber angwering in words that she will do so. . . . This contract or engagement can be mrde without such words., If the sscis and eir- cunistances aro sufilciontly full and significant to mnount to the engagement, wera they or conld {hiey bo articulate, tho spirit of the law supplies Alie dacking spoach.” If this bo so, what bo- cowes of tete-a-tetos in bay-windows, walks bome from church, sleigh-rides, and drives pn choboulovarda? When is a young msn or & young womaun sgfo? Is it not incumbent upon the Court making suck & decislon to stato tho osnet Jimit of the *‘Thus fyy pnd no farther,” eleo when is ardent Colin, or oven phlogmatic Colin, sate? Sowo limit must bo pssigned, or every bachelor in the community, young or old, aill be o Benedict, will e, nill e, aud without | rowedy. In view of tho presont iron eearcity in Eng- 1and, some of the papors are complaining of tho absurdily of wasting it, as is dono in tea. It is wiziod thut o very large percontago of iron _nud sreel filings is mixed with varlous grades of tons, especinlly in thoso coming from Cxuion. As'it is a prime necessity in England to diminish iron consumption, the British freoholder very justly complaivg that he ought not to he com- pelled to drink it in s jes. The alunning featuro of tho practice is tho poasibiif- ty that the ten-drinking race of women may gradually becomo ironized, and no longor romain thiodelicato, intoroating creatures thoy aro now, Doctors build up thefr patienia by putting them through a courso of iron, What with iron med~ Icinos aud fron teas, thoro is & fair prospect of hiarloning thio whole fomnale class in England, 1ovdny, but grain was generally lower, owing to foms ¢f further pecuniary stringenoy. Mesa pork was dull at $14.00 cash and $18.00 sellor Decembor. Lard was quiet and fim at 73@ | 73{¢ por Ib cagh, and 730 sollor Decembor.

It is by no monus yot nacertained lLow far tho crodit systom thus etricken osu’ recoyor, nor oxnotly how for it hos recolved fatal iujury, One thing, however, is cortain, that the trado and commerco of tho country and production and industry must bo ronewed, whethor upon tho fragments of tho broken credit of the past, or upon sn eptiroly now and porhaps more onduring basts, In tho intorval of doubt ns to tho shapo mattors are to assumo, ond whoro tho oxisting state of things is:to end, thero is ot lonst the comforting assurance that thoe work of restoration must bogin on the basia of tho grain and provislous of the country, and that here in tho West wo must foel the choorfal warmth of-the first breoze of roturning businoss conducted on & substantial foundation, Tho Now York Stock Board met yesterdsy for {ho first timo sinco Sept. 20, and it was roported that all the unsettlod business up to that date, sfter arduous offoris, had been satisfactorily closed, and that thora bad been no suspensiona. Tho sale of stocks was limited, with o slight im- provement in & few dividend-boaring railrond stocks, and & decline in othors, cspocially in Van- dorbilt's lincs, 5 In Philadelphia, the susponded houses of . W. Clark & Co. and of Do Haven & Brother presented statoments of tholr nasots and ilabili- ties, whioh at least look favorably on papor. In eltion of rapid fortunos othorwiae than by the road of plodding Induatry, wo may almost bo justified in aug- uring that tho time for panlo a at band, It this viow in corrool—if thoe ‘'want of confi- donco " that wo are all trying to rosiore Is based upon tho fact that, durlng the past Lwelvo years, wo havo somoliow madoe way with all our carn- logs, or put thom beyond our ronch, and on- oronohed upon our pro-existing eapital—in othor words, if tho want of confllenco is well-founded, it follows that Congross ean do nothing to *'rostors confldence.” Very likely Congress will bo assombled and will at- tompt to restoro confldence by issuing more groonbacks, Dobtors will bo crazy to got somo- thing thot they can moot their maturing obliga- tions with, not stopping to inquire how they will got tho groenbacks nfter thoy sre issucd. Tho only way the Government oan issue greeubneks is to buy bonda with thom, Tho clnsa who hold Govornment bonds aro not tho closs who stand most in noed of greonbacks, It will bo s hinrd for dobtors who are not bondholders to got groonbncks aftor they are Issuod as beforo, Equally visionary are thoso who fancy that tho restoration of specie payments will stop this panio, "Tho rostoration of a epecle standard 18 by far tho best, if not tho solo, foundation for tho new business of the conntry, tho new pros- pority, the now confldonce that will arigo hore- after. But unless Congross can produce an un- limited amount of gold coin by alchomy or othor process, it cannot arrest tho economic forces which are now at work producing such unhappy congoquences. Wo have said that tho West is rolatively botter oft than eny other portionof the couniry, This 18 & oold-blooded fact. The West happens to hove the kind of property which peoplo cannob economize much in the usoof. They can uso cheaper food than formorly, but food of somo kind thoy must have, and in abont tho samo our Philadolphia dlspatches is o list of tho va- rlous corporations which to-day will pay somi- aonual intorest on their debts and mortgages. Tho Becratary of the Troasury haa writien & lottor to tha ofiicoraof the Now York Produce Exchango, giving his reasona for doclining to lend National curroncy to banks and othors upon tho pladga of gold placed in the Bauk of Bug- land, thosaid currency to bo used only for bills of exchango. Tho reasons of the Bocretary arg conclusivo, thatitis no part of tho businoss of the Government to buy and sell gold ns & mattor of trado, or to lend money on pledgo of gold or any othor security, This puts an ond to the va- rious schemos by which it hns beon proposed that the Presidont and Bocrotary of tho Treasury can uso the public monoy to oxtricate corpora- tions or individuals from financinl embarrass- mont, Tho final closing of the Union National Banls, 28 announcoed in yosterday's TninuNg, had for o time n dopressing offoct upon tho local markot, but this wore off-durlng tho day, snd hope for & speedy tormination of the panio ogain revived, Wo present this morning tho opinions of various woll-known merchanta on the effeat of the second susponsion of that bank, In Kaoness City, whero theroaro largo traneao- tions In stock for this market, tho closing pro- duced for & timo cousiderable oxcitement, It did not intorfere with tho shipment of stock, nor did it havo the offoot of susponding tho preparations for the sonson's packing, The flow of cwrency to OChieago contin- pes undiminished, the receipts yosterdny Bggregating $3,000,000, Tho recoipts within the last six doys smonnt to a cousiderablo sum, aud golong as the world wants bread, the moncy must coma hore to buy it. Agsoon as the im- monse stock now in storo has been moved, ship- ments to the city will be renewed. The railrond roceipts having fallon off, they do not now de- posit, but pay out from their own treasury to (hoir cmployes, The receipta of intorugl rey- ‘enuo have fallen off, but this is & natural conse~ quenco of tho intorruption of distillation. Buch waos tho genor] mspoct of tho gituation last night, THE NATURE OF THE PANIG. Tho Hon, David A. Woils, ex-Commissioner of the Rovenug, has boon the butt of ridicule for tho Kolleys, and tho Morrelle, and tho May- nards, and all sorts of peoplo for telling us from time to time that tho country wgs nol in o pros- quantity from doy today. Tho statemont ap- poars hoartloss aud crucl, but it is tho fact, and not thoe statoment of it, which {s so, Tho first rovival of trado after tho shock came was in the movement of grain. This movemont cannot pauso so long as tho consumers in any part of tho world can pay tho market prico. But thero will be s substitution of corn and potatoos for whoat to s large ‘oxtent, and the meat products of the West will go into » more contractod mar- kot than formorly, EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED. fi ‘The employers who have large numbers of workingmen must meob the embarrassmout, of reducing their force, reducing wagoes aud time, or susponding business altogethor, It is no pleasant duty, but is nevertholess ono that mustk be mot and dealt with 5o a8 to causo tho lenst poseible amount of suffering and distress, In soveral establishments in tho Eastern States this reduction has already bogun, and tho finan- olal stringency promisce to bo of sufficient duration to extond itsell throughout tho coun- try. Whilo this calamity csnnot be wholly avorted, it may bo ton groat extont mitigated. Of courso, whoro an establishment or corporstion is of iiself bsukrapt, thero is nothing to bo done. But whorover there is gn employer swwhoso resources and means aro roduced, but not wholly cut off, justico and sonnd policy suggest that, to the oxtemt of their maans, the work bo continued. There are yari- ous modes by which this reduction may be made. ‘When tho means for payiug wages have fallon off 60 por cont, the most direct proceeding, in ordinary times, would be to reduce the force cm- ployed in o correspondiug ratio. But, as tho pinch is universal, the discharged mon can find no work clsewhere, and thoy would bo loft desti- tute. A botter plan would bs to roduce tho timo. 50 per cont, thus rotaining the workmen, oud bridging them over tho wante of tho long wintar, or the reduction might bo made both in wages and in time. In either ongs, tho 7nop oy bo kepb at worlk, and earn onough to live upon until such timo as crodit shall have recovered from its paralysis and busj- ness rosumed its activity. However unpleasant thiscontraction may bo to employors, there scoms to bo no slternptive, How stands the case will tho workingmen ? The mutual dependonce of capital and labor is now coufosaod, Tho calamity thot touches the porous condition, His cronking becams at last 8o distastoful to Mr. Boutwell that ho vas guomiuiously dismissed from offico,~the Jattor having arrived at the cougjusion that the country was prosperous by a stu- dious oxamiugtion of tho things that ho snw from the car-windows between Washington City and the town of Groton, Moss. Evouts in tho last fow days have scomed to justify Mr. Wells and condonn Jr. Boutwell, And what is tho matter? What does this penio consist of ? The gnswer is, that dur- ing tho past twelve years wo luve con- sumed and destroyed by war, by gt ous living, snd by fnsano inyestmonts, othorwise called *enterprise,” tho capital which should bave supplied for o much longer poriod of time, Any degtruction of valuos with- out o corresponding reproduction, whother by mar, or groat fires, or investment In uuprodye- tive xallways, or by extravagant habits, is an in- grediont of ppnuiu. A protoctive tariff is also o potont agency, sinco it calls for the expondi- turo of more Iahor sud copital to proouro a given articlo than it could ofberyiso bo obtaingd for. Tho fact that it could bo obtained for less is the | very argument advanced in favor of protestion. In old times, before the introduction of the ele- ment of credit into tho businoss of the world, Jamyine was tho result of dostruction withont re- production. And so it would bo now but for the fact that the panic srspsta tho work of destruce tion bofore it renchies the sfarsadion point. The resu]ts of o panic aro thats poopls who have consumed o destroyed top large a portion of their capital and eqrnings in o givon poriod of timo must copsumo & gmgllor portion during tho noxt subsequent poriod,—that iy, they must economize. Pauics occur in England aboyt gnse in ton yoars ; in tho Unitod Btutes sbout once jn twonty yonrs, The lost ono occurred in 1857. ho preeont ono was not yo till 1877, but the ‘War infervened and helped to deatroy sbout moven thoussud millions of dollars' worll of proporty, North and Gonth, in tho short spaco of fowr years.

If o corporation has no means of paying wages, it would bo fraudulent to continue tho work and thon fuil to ppy tho bends. Hard and oppressive 88 this calamity may bp to those who aro de- pendent on their daily wagoa for tho - support of themselves and families, it 18 novortholess a noogssity that cannot be avoided. Tho man who can got work st higlf time nnd balf wages Is pro- cisely that much bettor off thgn the man who is out of employmont and ean got no wage. Tt may bo that domagogues will appesl to men whose curnings a10 thus euddeply reduced, and seg {0 argay thom In hostilty to tho ompjoyors; but good sonep end cplm judgmont must con- vinco them that, whora the reduction Is gonoral, ombraclng every varfety of employmopt in pvery brauch of business, and applicuble to all alike, high and low, rich and poor, there must be a gangssd sybmission to tho {uevitablo and & com- ‘mon effort to ke tho bostof it, Lot the work- ingmon romgmber that the eo-cellod rich men of Chicago hinve lost more money dgring tho past wook than the entire cost of all tho car- shops #ad Folling-mills in and around iho oity, Whoro {8 one way in which even roduced wages, reduced incomes, and roduced profits may bo offsol, aud that is by the cutting off of & class of expenditures that cousume at all timos au undu propoytion of caruings. Thero aro no loss thaun 400 billiard-tahjos in this oity, £4,800 o day, or $28,800 n weel.

Kvery cont of this oxpendituro’ may bo eaved without any loss of comfort, but with great benefit.

Tho act was not onlya reckless one and n utter porvorsion of truth, but it was a cruol and das- tardly one, the poesiblo results of which wore utterly immatorial to its porpotrators, go long a8 thoy succecded in creating a sonsation sud making o fow pennies thereby. Lako thoso unfortunate yonths who throw tho stono Into the nitro-glycerino aud were recom- ponsod by an explosion, tho Témes hns boon hoist with its own petard. Tho explosion which it Ims brought sbout has sput it up quitc ns high as suy of tho rost of tho dobris, and, now that it hps come down from its suddon aud unexpeoted olovation, the time is opportuna for it to medi- tato upon the uncertainty of panics and the re- sults likely to onsuc from fooling with fire- works, It is undoubtedly now disposed to nc- copt advice which Tnx Trinune will give gratis. Tho Times has provoked tho indigoation of tho ontiro commanity ; of tho Board of Trade, whoso oporations have beon blocked; of merchants and manufacturers, who havo not been able to obtain monoy to pay thoir hands; of tho city ‘bankers, who found the country banke clamor- ous for their balauces ; and, finally, of the wholo publio, who found their business lamentably doranged by this Incondiary publication, The affair has roacted upon thot paper’ with tonfold offect, and hos annihilated its influenco, if it had any bofore. All this might eesily have been avoided it the Times had boon content to keep within ita legit- imnto sphero of private blackguardism. It has shown a high dogreo of proficleucy in casting slurs upon churclics and libeling thoso who al— tond them. It oxcolsin vilifying women sud childron ; in retalling tho gossip of whisky- shops; in gratifying tho private spleen of one porson againet anothor; iu ridleuling tho Bunday-gchools and their attendants, and in attaoking ovorything and evorybody of good repute, The Times, thoreforo, should stick to its logitimato businocss, and lot pauics alone. Its oexporience with tho present one ought to bo & sufliciont warning that thero aro occasions so gravo and momentous that poople willnot calm- ly atand by aud seo their pecuniary intorests im- periled by jta sonsational falachooda. IRON-SHIPMENTS TO ENGLAND, The Eunglish papers oro ;qat now wmst!hz_g with tho question of the exportation of iron from tho United Btatos to that gountry, and aro lamenting that the British jron-mastors instead of controlling the American markets aro helug beaton upon their own grounds. Tho particular cage which is now under discussion is as follows ¢ Mosars, W. 8, & N. Caino, of Livarpool, have contraoted with a New York firm for tho supply of a cortain quantity of morchant bar-iron for £11108 sterling, por ton, landed in Liverpool, 23 per cont being’ allowéd for cash, whilo the present English prico of the eamo quality of ron is £12 per ton, The Liverpgol Post, comment- ing upon this fact, says ¢ i Tho British irou-masters have, however, not boen altogothor without warning oy to what was about to happen. 'Thoy must have seon in the Bourd of Trade figures, aa thoy were publishod from month to month, that their dominion was alipping away from them, In tho first six montha of this year the amount of iron oxpopted to the United Btates was much less than half tho quantity sont In 1872, Tho figures are—for 1873, 120,468 fons, sgainat 259,011 fons In 1872 5 and ' 244,784 tons in tho firet afx months of 1871, Thoeo figurcs, no doubt, prepared the British iron-maators for the'losa of £ho American trado;” but the most despouding gentles mau in tho reglons of the Biack Country hardly fm- aginod thia ].’Am;:il.vnn(n Wi ready to uiidersell Staf- forgsliro upon’the sieréd quays of Liverpool, It ‘hiiye ogeurred £ ouo of them'in his dream, bidt nover fieep considored aa'a shrious subject, Tho causos which haye Jod fo this shipment obviously grow out of tho enormnous ingrggep in tho price of coal in England and the rise in the wages of miners, whigh haye combined to de- raugo tho iron industry, Whother it will eon- tinue, tho futuro ouly can dotermine; but the prospoots at least. are good, eince tho cost of cosl and Jgbor in this conntry is much chenpor, and the ueo of lsbor-saving machines much moro commbn. " In ‘éither anse, the fact of this ozpgrtation has put a quictus upon ! ho Hagos- sity for a Protectivo Tariff.

Goodman waa tho wifo of Morrls Good- mon, and that for sovoral years sho had boon engsgod in businoss in hor own namo in Evansvillo, ind.; that sho was indebtod to thom in tho aum of $487.27, and had commit~ ted an aot of bankrupiey, Tho Court ruled that in accordanco with tho statutes of tho Staton married woman cannot engago in any kind of businoss on hor own account, uulosssho have soparato property ; that if o woman, not having soparate proporty engagos in business, the prof- its bolong to the hneband as tho cnrninge of the wifo; snd that & marrled woman in Indiana possessed of no soparato estate is rolioved of none of the disabilitios imposed upon her by the common Iaw, Theso rules boing os~ tablishod by the statutes, and tho petition fail~ ing to show that Mrs. Goodman was posscssed of any separate proporty or means with which she wag carrying on her busiucss, tho Court declared that sho could not bo adjudged a bankrupt. T decision is oxaotly tho roverso of soveral decisions which lhave boon mede in this State in similar coscs; the Bupromo Court itselt having declared that married women oan make business contracts, form partuerships, and enjoy tho priviloges of bankmptcy.

A meeting has been called of the workingmen and mechanics of New York to consider n proposition for joining their savings and ap- pointing sgouts to purchase breadstufls for them at tho West, Thoe proposition sooms to bo tho outgrowth of the prosent financial stringen- oy, and the fear that the crops will not bo moved to tho Enst at a sufficiontly rapid rate to snpply tho demnnd and keep prices down to what they ought to bo. Wo do not beliove that the project is at all practicable, and it is cortainly not noc- ossary. .The temporary chock in tho movomont of the crops is being very rapidly overcome now by the arrival of largo sums of monoy to be ju- vested in grain, Tho last rail on the Cairo, Arkansas & Toxas Railrond hins beon Iaid, and it was announded that through trains would commenco running yester- day, Tho rasd ruus from Cairo to Poplar Bluff, in Butler County, and is nnvunt_y-qué miles long, It conneots with tho Arkansna branch of tho Iron Mountain Rond, and maltos an all-rail routo from Cairo to tho border of Texas, thus giving an outlet to a large cotton rogion in Wostern Missouri gnd Eastorn Arkausss.
