The Chicags Tiibone, Thursday Morning, Octobor 2, 1873, The Goodrich murder case comes to tho sur- faco sgain with tho rearrest of Lucotte Moyors, whoso Intest chattoringe aro said to implicato *n gentleman of groat prominonco.” A decision has beon mado by the Suprome Court of Il’Hnolu, now in seagion at Ottawa, con- firming tho constitutionality of the now Liquor law, The opinion, dolivered by Justico Beott, is not yet givon in full. The gaugoe.of the Grand Trunk Railroad lhas been changod from G feot 6 inches to tho'stand- nrd Amorican width of 4 feob 834c inches, and tho now ongines and cars will commonco run- ning on the Gth insl It 1s worthy of nole Lhat tho genoral miscella- neous nows of the country this morning is much ‘Droador and moro inforesting than it has been for tho past ten days, This indicates that peo- plo aro boginuing to think of somotlung bosides the panic. « Thoro has been o strike in the Bast Saginaw tambor district, ocensioned by & reduction of wages by ono company, ond resulting in the withdrawal of 250 laborers from work. The ehipments of lumbor from the Saginaw River to date oxcoed tho shipments of last yoor for the samo timo by moro than 50,000,000 fect.

Charleston, 8. 0. 000 Liad heen deposited in the Sub-Trossury ab New Orleans, to bo paid to the banks on checks on New York, has asked for o similar doposit of £520,000. Becrotory Richardson says that no specinl reliof has boen nfforded Now Orleans. On tho other hand, Aesistant-Secrotary Bawyor ausuros Charleston that it shall hovo all the re- liof affordsd other places. Secrotary Richardson says that the Govern- ment will loso nothing by the suspension of Clows & Co,, in New Yerk, or Clows, Habicht & Co,, in London; also, that 1f Jay Cooke & Co, pny 93 per cent, the Government will bo no fosor by the failure of the First Nationol Bank, Ho thinks that the country will bo gratified to find in the Public Debt statoment that tho s rosorvo™ has not yet boon touched, though ho reiterates his purpose of using it whonoyer he judgos it to be nocossary, Thoe Chicago Boayd of Yrado yesterday ra- gemndod the resolution, adopted Sept. 20, pro- libiting options in grain trades. Tho action is important for two ressons, viz: (1) Itindl- cntes o restorstion of confidence among the grain doslers, and (2) it, will liave tho effect of stimulating pricos for Octobor, Tor the past weelt, sales Lave boon almast oxclusively for cash; yesterdny aflernoon tho option trades were renecwed to some extont, and they will be likely to increaso from now on.. Tho stetoment of the Publie Debt for Oct. 1 shows n reduction during Septomber of $1,001,- 467, Tho reduction during August was $6,762,+ 599, Tha total funds in the Tronsury nro §04,- 783,789, of whicls thoro aro $80,246,767 in coin, $11,250,000 of special doposit Liold for the re- domption of certificates, and only £0,280,082 in curroncy. Tho amount of curroncy on hand, Bopt. 1, was $12,003,690, Thore has cons soquontly been o reduction In the currency on fiend of nensly $9,000,000 during the month, occasioned by the recont purchazo of bouds in Now York. The spocial deposit account has also boon reduced nearly §21,000,000 within tho month, These oro the direct results of tho un- natural stringency in the money market. e Another convention of the Genoral Passonger and Tickot Agents of tho railroads has been cnlled for Oct. 8, at tho Grand Pacific Iotel in this city. Lho Convention in sozsion lioro weok pefora last adjourned without tuking aotion in regard to coramisslons paid {o local agonts on the palo of tickets, Itiymaid that those com- misgions amount, in many cases, to from §500 to ©1,000 per month in addition to sale avies, ond it is strongly suspocted that, in somo earen, tho General Agonts share the spoits, It hiss been tho oustom, morcover, to pay commisaions on tho ealo of tickets to hotol- portors, haols-drivors, and pretty much overy- body elso who bringa @ customer and domnunds pay forit, Itis now proposed Lo out off com- miseions altogether. If tho travellng publle ghall receive the benofit of this saving, it ls s cousummation devoutly to bo wished, em—————— The Chicago produco markols wore active yostorday, and strongor, in consoquonco of & moro hopoful feoling in rogard to the financinl prosgoct.

The Govornment of tho Sandswich Islands has & curroncy quostion on hand at presont, which it 18 attompting to solve. Tho last Logislature passod a Inw moking American silver tho logal tonder, which it ia now bolioved is working in- juriously. At presont thoy have to pay at lenat 2 por cont promium in San Francisco for any largo amount of gold in oxchinnge for silver half- dollars, aud, ns a mnatural consoquonco, Amoricon gold lonves the Tslands bd- onuso it ia worth moro olsewhero. They can only rolain it by paying o promium of 2 per cont, but ns it would causo great con- fuslon nmong tho natives to call tho Amorican half-eaglo §5.10, tho eagle $10.20, and ko double-osgle £20.40, it is thought that tho simplest way will bo to introduce tho English and Fronch gold coins, and pass thom at rates with which tho peoplo aro familiar and which will rolain thom thero, Thoy have eithor to romedy their currency, which is now rapldly be- ing oxported, or they must issuo papey-money,— & measuro which is universally opposod. Tho Now York State Demooratic Convontion, whioh mot at Utica yestorday, adjourned to 10 o'clock this morning without accomplishing any important business, Permanont organization was effocted, with Horatio Boymourin tho Chair. Tlhie Committoo on Crodentiala reported in favor of ndmittiug tho Tammany Hall delogation from Now York City, wheroupon the Apollo Hall dologation withdrow to their bhotel, propared a formnl protest, charged that tho Committee on Credontinls was packed, aud resolved, to “ecalmly and confidently zppeal to tho ballot" in Now York City *“to xo- ‘buko tho arrogance of Tammany Hall" Tho Convontion held out tho right hand of fellow- ship to the Liboral Ropublicans ns worthy coad- jutors in the worlk of reform. A resolution was adopted to exclude from tho Btato Committeo any membor of Congross who voted for or ace copted tho back-pay. Tho ndjournment wag made becauso the Committeo on Resolutions exprossed itself as unable to roport bofore this morning. e — THE BITUATION. Yostorday was tho first day since tho panic bogan that signa of a real roaction and im- provement bogan to manifest thomselvos in local fnneial circles. Thoro hevo been days when affairs wore a chieorful extorior, and peoplo falt Dotter without exactly knowing why. Yosterday overybody seemed to Lnow that there was o chnugo for the bettor. In the first placo, tho price of wheat advanced 6 conts por bushel, and bofore the closo of tha dny gainod 334 cents more, closing at 81.03}¢ cash, ngainst 04 conts tho previous day. Corn also advauced 4 conts, with shipmonts of 440,000 bushels on Tuesday, gnd o domand for froight-room for 750,000 bushols® yestordny., Prices of grain aro now highor than ot any timo sinco tho panie began. . Foroign oxolange has advanced in Now York to o point which insures tho ropid snd rogular movement of the crope. Gen- eral trado was moro active than on any provious day, end the streots presented a livelier appoar- ance than before, while the harbor was fairly alive with sbipping. The savings banka report more deposits than notices of withdrawal. The receipts of ourrency by the expross companios wero about £8,000,000. Tho banks have com- menced croditing their customors for checks on other city baukuof good standing, instend of wait- ingtopassthem through the Clearing-House. Tho fast freight linos are doiug o grain business fally cequal to their capacity. Tho roilroads are nlso carrying great londs of tho catilo, and the tom- porary blockade at tho Stock-Yarda has been ro- moved. They are now in a condition to reccive and caro for all the cattle that may bo sent for- ward, I'hero is nlso o henlthier feeling in- New York conscquent upon the advance in sterling ox- change. Cortified checks, Lowever, are quoted at 2 to3 por cent below par, which is not un- natural in viow of the fact that $22,000,000 of -loan-cortifientes havo beon issuod. Tho elight declino in stocks is nccounted for in iwo ways: (1) An indisposition to specculate, and (2) snles of collatorals to meet mntwed paper. Tho ruspenion of tho banking Lonsa of Northrup & Chick ia attributed to tho demand that hae boen made on them by their Wostorn corrospondonts, The majority of these aro in Kanueas, DMissourd, and oven as far south as Texas ; thoro aro but two or threo jn tho four Btatos of Tllinois, Towa, Wisconsin, and Minno- goln, Ono of the most encouraging signs in Now York is that tho demand for currency from tho country ‘banks - bag materially decreased. Ordera for money ave countermanded and ovon greenbacks that have been drawn out aro being returned, Now York is beginning to lcnt is about 90,000 barrola por day. traco tho immediato causo of the currency lock- up to onoof Jay Gould's stock corners. Tho “suspension of Paton & Co., o dry-goods firm, is ‘only temporary, ocensfoned by tho contraction fn curroncy; it Is Intimnted that thoro will bo o liberal policy of ostensions on any commoreial paper that moy nood it, owing to tno trunsiont atringoncy of the monoy market.

Undor such o condltion of affairs ns this, it 18 cortain that tho prospoct-for the panicestricken people of tho oil rogions grows brighter, aud that thoy will soon be out of tho clutchios of tho bears, THE GOVERNMENT'S SHARE IN THE FINAN- OIAL ORISIS, In considering the causes, conaequencos, and rosponeibility for tho present financinl ombar- rngemont of tho country, the responsibility of tho prosont Administration shonld not bo over- looked nor forgotton. The destruction of prop- orty by tho war was of courso an jmmenso and necossary loss to the country, and had tobo madoe good from future production. Tho ontiro cost of tho war was paid by tho poople at the time, minua the small amount borowed from sbroad, Tho oxlating war debt roproseuts eapi- tal furnished by the pooplo during tho continu- anco of tho war and dostroyed. Itis o fact, nob gonorally understood, that the entiro cost of the war was furnished by iho poopla bo- foro tho Inst moldier was discharged. Whon tho war closed, the country needed all tho roliof consistont with the maintonanco of the nationnl crodit. But the Govornment, in- stond of furnishing such reliof, kept tho sorows of taxation as tight as poseible, Tho war debt stood at 5 to 6 por cont intorest, which was tho coxnot monsure of the burden upon the people. In the struggle to recover business, rovive in- duatry, and incronss production, tho people had nood of all tho capital thoy hadloft, In thelr lands, and turned over two or threo timos a year, 1t waa worth 20 per cout, while it cost them for intorest on tho Public Debt less than 6, Tho Bocrotary of tho Treasury, ignoring tho history of otlior governments, and blind to tho wanta of the country, rolontlessly oxnctod of them $100,000,000 & yenr to apply on tho principal of tho dobt, thoroby depriving them of the profite thoy would have mado from tho uso of tho ‘monoy, and renlly increasing tho annunl burden of the debt from 5 or 0 per cont to 10 or 12 per cont, Bword in hiand, a8 it wore, o couflseatod annunlly a hundred millions of property nooded by the pooplo in their daily business. In order to muke the point moro clear, wo will take the caso of n joint-stock company of, eny, 100 porzons, organized to bulld o rall- rond, oll tho stockholdors being personally lisblo for its debts, Tho compouy itself has Dottor credit than any of its individunl members. It ralsos & portion of tho necossmy funds by stock subscription (which s analogous lo taxation). It thom issues its bonds for tho remaiudor, and these are taken by hsif dozen werlthy members, and thus tho road is finished. The wholo cost has boen supplied by tho individuals composing the company during tho continnanco of tho work., The rond, we will supporo, {8 n3 unpreductive.as o war, or s tho Northorn Pacific. 'Tho individunl members are Jointly and soverally held for tho bonds. Theso bonds draw b per cent intorest, ond tho hold- ors of thom, having confidenco in the securily, aro nob ouly conlent with tho invest- mont, but " auxious to havo it remain undisturbed. Tho groat majority of the stock- Tiolders, bomg mon of limited means, aud having already lost what they had put into tho ontor~ prise, and boing engaged in pursuits which yielded thom 20 por cont on their capital com- pounded, aro thon assessed by somo Execcutive Commiltee to immodiately commonco paying oft ibo bonded dobt, which..draws only G}¢ per cont intercst, and this, too, against tho protest of tho lholdors of tho bonds. What kind of financiering would that bo called? How long woutd that Executive Committoo continuo in power? Lot aloue the fact that mauy of tho members must borvow muonoy at 10 per cont in order to pny ndobt drawing only b} per cont, 8 it not clonr that |- thoro is an ogrogious waste of enpital in the oporation ? Tho rapid accumulation of capital in a country is promoted by allowing each pot- son to mako tho bost uso he can of his own capl- tal. Itisretarded by suy sort of Governmont intorforonco which eithor cousea ono man to pay in the way of taxation moro than is necogsary, or anothor man to receive in tho way of disbursomonts moro than he desires to recelve ; moro than, inhis own judgmont, ho can talo caro of as well as it is alroady takon caroof, 'This, it may bo said, is an argumont agalnst over poying oft tho National Debt. . The argumont in favor of paying off tho National Debt at o low rato of interest with monoy which, in tho hands of the poople, brings thom o high rato of intorest, is not the cconomic argument atall. Iv i3 o political one, & patriotic ono, & sprend-engle omo, & topic for Fourth of July orations, It can hardly bo eald to have sn cconomioside. And ovon if thoro is auything to bo enid on that sido, it has no rolation to the presont {esue, which is this : Wholhor it is wiso to tax & pooplo Who have undergono so tromon= dous n strain as tho War of thoRobollion, at tho rato of one hundred mitlions of dollars per year ovor and sbovo tho nocossary axponsos of tho Government ? To do 8o, wo maiutaio, was an ogrogious blundor, Nor wns this DLlundor compensnted by sny caroful and oconomical axpendituro of tho public money. 'Tha nlministration of tho Governmenk hns beon marked with & proflignoy and rookloss- ness that ins had no oxamplo since the days of Lucnllus. Tho logislation of Congress hins beon dircoted to squandering tho national domain upon adventurers and speculators and encour- aging thom to build railroads which aro nob wanted, It has orocted oxtravagant publio buildings all over the country, nominally for commereisl purposes, but really to place at the dlsposal of mombors of the party tho lotting of contracts and tho exponditure of public monay. It hins ongrafted upon tho rogulnr oxpouditures of tho Govorument the appropriationof mill- fons for the improvement of rivers without wator and harbors without ehips, It has by logal enactment and by examplo lod the na- tion into habits of extravagance and luxury that xival thoso of tho Bhah of Porsin, not omitting tho dishonosty and licoutionsncss that are in- soparablo from such habits, It hag sodebauckhod ofilelal integrity that thero is bardly a county in all the United Statea that doos not contain st lonat one dofaultor or & robbor of public rov- onuon, and thig, too, without a solitary instance of adequate punishmont of tho offondora.

Tho taxes ini tho City of Now Orleans havo renchod thio full rontal valite of tho prop- orby taxod; that s, the valuo of the proporly hns beon dostroyed. Tho Ioldons, tho Bullocks, tha Parkors, and the IXolloggs aro flrst-clnss panic-breodors, but oven those aro inforior to the Jay Cookes and Honry Olowses, who finvo been ndvertieod into such importance by Govornment conneotion and fovoritiem that tho unthinking and unwary woro inducod to in- trust millions upon millions to thelr kecping. Tho Syndieato operation was no lottor thana job to blackmuil tho Natlonal Banks—to nccom= plish which it was necessary to oxpond £1,000,- 000 more of tho publio money than tho law over authorized or contomplated. During sll this time, and during all this Gov- ornmontal ald and encouragemont to tho most rockloss ond unhealthy speculation and oxpan- slon of dobts, tho country has beon gravitating towards finanoinl distross, ‘Tho first Ministor of Tinanco was choson npparently for hia lnck of oducation in flonncisl affairs, - holding natureily enough that thoro i3 no such thing na a sclouco of political cconomy, and that in finance things are to bo conductod on tho happy-go-lucky system in which o was educated whon ho was the proprio- tor of o small country storo in Massachusotts, twonty yoars aggo.
