The meoting of the Synads in At. Louis yea- terday will bo found more then ordinarily in- teresting to members of the Presbyterian de- nomipation. A report whick was brought bofore tho Old School Synod of Missouri, favoring s anion with the Southern Genersl Assembly, met with strong opposition, and was discussed all dsy. The probablo outcome of the matter will be that about one-third of the churches in the 01d School Synod. will unite with tho Northern Genoral Assombly. . ———— Touis Riel, tho Manitobnn 1ebel, has been elected to tlie Canadisn Parliament by acclama- tion, and bas left for Ottaws, although ho is under indictment in Manitobs, jointly with Lepine, one of his staff, during tho robellion, for tho murdor of Scott, His election at this timo bas unusus) significance, as tho indictment which was proeured ogainst him was an act of Dad faith upon the part of the Oanadian Govern- ment, which had granted o gonersl amnesty ‘Doth to himself and Lepine. Tho clection, thero~ fore, is ovidently intonded as a robuke to the Goverument, Somo montha ago, Tor TninuNe commonced {ssuing & twelve-pago Saturday shaet to its rand- ars outsido of the city. o were uot awaro that this waa a mark of ostraordinary enterpriso un- til the Chicago Zimes, {u its issuo of yesterday, made & donble-leaded splurge announcing its in- tention todo the same thing, snd prodicting thut Tae Trisune would follow its oxample. This prediotion is to be taken with the same mar- gin for exaggoeration and untruthfulness a8 the “Times' reports (of the Clearing-House meeting and the Union Bank rooponing. In fact, sinco that Clearing-Ilouso meeting took place, tho Times hns been vory groggy indoed, S Sl Postmaster-General Croswell has at this lato doy como forward with o remedy for panics, which e made known at a political meeting in Bultimore last evening.

Tho definito re- sult con hordly bo roached for some days to como. Wo print o lotter from a citizen of the Town of Lyman, Ford County, concerning tho early history of the Gilman, Olinton & Springfleld Rsilroad, From this it appoars that the Crodit- Mobilier Construction Ring lot out the grading at 85 conts per oublo yard, sud this contrnot was sub-lot throngh throo or four lands down as lowas 12 cents por yard. Tho workmen were boarded at the farm-houses along the line, and alltho teams in the peighborhood wero hired, and then, when the work waa donme, the contrnotors departod without paying any- body. Tho dircct contribution of Jabor and unpaid board by tho pooplo of that singlo town waa §0,000; they bad already subsoribed $25,000 bonds, and the Company had beon paid liborally for tho locationof ita station, Itwould Do interesting to know how much tho Construc- tion Company wns paid for grading, which was finally done for 12 to 14 cents per yard,—aud ovon this cost was paid by tho pooplo of tiio town, The Irlsh Catbolic Bonevolent Union, which was in peesion in 8t. Louis yestorday, had under consideration a series of resolutions of a very comprohensive, a8 well sa remarkable, charnoter, in which tho Governmonts of tho world wero arraigned for allowing the Popo to be dothroned andshomn of his tomporsl power. Protostswere mndo agninat tho attitude of the Government of Pruesia towards the Ultramontanbs, and ngainat. tho influenco of scoret soclotica, A resolution was also roported, denouncivg in bitter terms tho public-yckool system of this country, which led to s protractod and acrimonious discussion, some of its advocstos indulging in very absurd, Dbigoted, and intemporato apecches. Aftor along dobate, the Union manifested its good sonso by rocommitting tho objectionable reaolution to the Committoe, which subsequontly reported a. moro moderato one. In tha dobate, the Enstern Oatholics very genorally opposed this wholesale donunciation of the public-school system. The most practical and important action taken by tho Union was tho appointment of & committce to look aftor tho wolfare of immigrauts. On the 9th of October, a dispatch from Boston appoarad in the columns of this paper, setting forth that Jobn P. Squires & Co., tho heavy packers of that city, hed found it necoseary to digeharge alargo number of worlmon ; lad is- sued a card that they were obliged to givo np tholr foreign trade, owing to tho imposeibility of getting money to buy hogs ; and that they might Dbo obliged to shut down altogotber for s while, Sinco that publication, we havo received a lotter from Messrs. John P, Bquires & Co., in whioch they say: “ A fortnight ago, wo didnot ‘dis- charge ® large gang, nor has ny con- siderable docresse in tho number of our working forca beeu found nocessary since tho panic has overtaken the country.

The charges against Secrotary Richardson be- gin to wear & sorious sspoct, and the Treasury Department is in & flurry ot oxcitement, secking somoe moans of eoscapo from the dilowma in which it finds itsolf. Tho technical chargo ogainst tho Becrotary is, that, af- tor the TUnited Btates District Courts of Pennsylvanin and Margland bad decided that it Was unnocessary for canal-bosts to be provid- od with eprollments and liconses, ho ordered the customs’ offlcersto roport to tho District Attorney all canul-boats found trading in navi- gable waters without tho above-mentioued documents, Tho plea of tho Becrotary, that ho took an appeal to the United States Oircuit Court, 1 upses by tho fack that the appeal was dismigsed year boforo the circular to the customs’ ofiicers was written, and that no sppeal Is now ponding, With re- gard ta the genorsl offense, the coun- sol for the aggrieved parties cito the action of the President and tho Executive Doparimont of tho Government, in the caso of Kellogg va. Warmoth, in which they not only accopted tho declslon of tho Louisinna Distslot Oourt as law, but ordered Gen. Emory to onforce the decroa with the bayonet, The Bec- ratary Ia now buslly engaged In finding somo means of reconsidering his action, the penalty for which Is removal from officp, fine, aund im- prisonmont, ——— Gov. Kellogg has furnished the Financier with & statowent of tho financial condition of hia State. Ho shows that Louisiana now has outgtanding bonds amousnting to 932,302,600, injunctions agoainst 5,094,000 of which Lave al- rondy beon istnod by the Cousts, Ho also roporta that the interost on all tho bonds, excopt those whose payment has boen onjoined, lag boen paid up to Bept. 1. Tho Now York Tribune romiuds the Govermor that ho bas failod to oxplein how Loulsians Is acoustomed to psy off hor current obtigations, It hos boon the custom, under Gov. Kellogg's sdministration of the Btate flnancos, to mettle olaimsa sgainst tho Treasury by issuing warrants. The Auditor and Treasuror are novor preparod to honor thoso warrants, and the result ie that they clrculste more orless smong the community s gort of local ourrenoy.

'VANDERBILT'S STRUGGLE AGAINST FACTS, Tho upward spurt takon by stocks on Thurs- dny indicates that Commodoro Vandorbilt fs losing his head. Ho is botting thab tho pros- perity of tho country is just a8 grent ag it wos bofore Jay Cooke's failure, In tho desperato re- golvo which ks seized him of cscaping all losa and sustaining tho stocks with which ho is identi- fied, Lio has ignoved facts that aro porfectly ap- paront to unprejudiced obsorvera, Ife ia oppos- ing his personal resources aguinst tho law of grovitation, 1t is on unoqual strugglo, in which & dozen Vandorbilts would have to succumb, ‘Tho business of the coun- try, both public and private, received & shook from the panic thst spread over the entire continont. Thero has beon o sovious falling-off iu tha revenuo of the Governmont. It lias boen publicly aunounced that tho Governmont will roquiro soveral millions of dollara of tho so- callod * resorva " to meat tho shortago for tho curront month ; about 4,000,000 of this hypo- thotical fund has alrendy been psid out. The privato businoss of tho country shows & similar decline. Chicago is, without doubt, tho most prosperoud city in tho Union to-day, Yot the oclearings of tho Chicago banks aro only sbout ono-third what thoy wera immodiatoly buforo Jay (Cooko’s failure,and only about one-half what thoy woro at the samo time ' last year. Theso aro in- dications, not morely of & shrinkego in valucs, but of o proportionate dectine in the smount of business which the countyy is doing,—which is ouly another plirase for tho samo thing. Mr. Vandorbilt, in ontering Wall stroot at this time to bull his railrond and telegraph stook, is prac- tically botting that, while all the other business of tho country haa beot roduced one-half, tho railrosd and telograph business has not boen impatred. 1t bas boen estimated in New York that the total shrinkage in the values of the Vandorbilt stocka within fivo howrs last Tucsday amount- od to $10,000,000. Tho estimated shrinkego in the samo sccuritica sinco the papic sot in I8 £60,000,000, distributed among New York Central, Lake Shore, snd West~ orn Union, at tho rate of $18,000,000 each for tho firat two, and ©14,000,000 for tho last. Mr, Vanderbilt’s personal interest in these stocks can bo readily reckoned by thoso familiar svith thom ; and, on tlug basis, it is stated that Vandorbilt’s losses, ot thioe ruling pricas of Tues- doy, reschod $20,000,000. About two weoks ago, & transitory buoyancy was producod by the an- nouncoment that tho German bsukors had ad- vanced Mr. Venderbile $10,000,000; but the stocks Boon went back bolow the figure from which thls rumor rescued them. The same statomont was used for the splurge of Thursday. it is probable that there was some foundation for the second roport, snd that Mr. Vauderbilt is actually pouring money into tho streot, The more of it o puts in, tho worso off ko will bo. Ho is proud snd obstinato 0ld man, and his ambition and groed aro both enlisted in the stocks which 1o hos boldupsolong. Tt wouwld bocharacteristic of the man, encoursged by unparalicled sue- cossos in tho past, to venture hiy whole fortune to save his roputation and get back the money Lo hos nlready lost. But nelthor Vanderbiit's namo nor Lis fortune is suficiont to offuot tho actusl falling off in tho busiuess of the coun- try. If business gonorally falls off in the pro- portion indicated by tho Govornmont rovenue rocelpta and tho bank clearings, railronds cor- tafnly cannot earn tho snme dividonds a8 heroto- fora, Wo havo publishod withiu o fow days an official statemont of the condition of the Western Union Telograph Company, which has enabled tho oountry to form somo iden of the actunl value of that stook. Mlx. Vanderbll's presont control of this stock was securod st an averago investment of abuut 75 conts, Contrary to the advico of the old and oxperionced officors of tho Company, Vanderbilt earriod tho prico sbove 00. It has gono down to about 50 sinco tho panie, and, in spste of temporaty recovery, it will mout likely go bock to that fligure. ‘Iho enrnings of tho Company for Its Inst fiseal yoar wore 83,767,063, ouly 1,095,612 of which was passed to the “1n- come account,” and not one dollar of which was divided among tho stookholders, Doos this showing warrant an aggrogato capital and in- dobtoduoss of £44,000,000—tho prico b which Vandorbilt was holding it whon tho panio sob | in? Weatorn Union ly worth every dollar of what it cost, and would pay the usual intorest, or a handsome promium over its coet.

Tho Dauke, which hiave 5o long abottod him, aro now struggling to save themsolvos, and, whenever thoy can do so without loss, thoy will throw his watorod stocke overboard, Thelr purposo, tndesd tholr nocossity, is to got out what thoy have in alroady, or as muoh of it a8 possiblo. Alr Vao- dorbitt's ronaurces aro not unlimited, snd tho ond of his strugglo agalnst facts cannot bo far off, S— THE OHIO ELECTION, Tho Domooratio party, or what is loft of i¢, will probably raise & nolso over tho allegod vic- tory in Ohio, The Republican organs will also oarnostly labor to prove thatits old oppo- nent is atill alive, and 8o dangorous $o tho pub- 1o satoty that ia i necossary for overybody now tovota the Republlean tickot. Bat tho Ohlo olection s by no mesns & Demooratio victory. In 1853, tho poople of Ohio wanted to kill off tho Whig party, which pereiated in living, g0 8 sufficlont pumber of thom voted fora third tickat, aud lot tho Democrats eloct their candis date for Governor, Two years later, the Whig party having boon oxtinguished, tho peoplo of Olilo ind organized & now party, and thoro hns beon no Democratio Governor in that Stato sinco thon. This summer, s mombor of the Washington Cabinet bocamo o candidato for tho United States Sonate. For two yoara ho had been using tho patronago of tho National Government to forco his olection, in case tho Republicans shonld havo & majority in the Logialature. The poople of Obio did not want Mr, Dalano, nor did they approve of his use of Foderal patranaga to control tho olaction. Tho result was that Ro- publicans and others either voted direotly for the Domocratic csndidnlos for the Legisla- ture, or abstained from voting and allowoed the membors of that party to bo elected, Tho rosult was tho defeat of Mr. Dolano and the probablo re-election of Mr. Thurman, who, being & man of nbility, integrity, and liboral views, is pro- forred by & largo mafority of tho peoplo of all shades of opinion in Ohio to Mr. Columbus Dolano. At this moment it is uncertain whothor Allen or Noyea i olected Governor, Should Allen bo eloctod, his olection will bo duo not to sny prof- eronco for lum or his parly, but to the non- action of some and to tho dotermination of othors to dofent the Ropublican party. If Allen is oleoted, ho will bo in & minority of 50,000 ot the wholo voto polled, nnd in a atill greater mi~ nority of tho vote that might bave been polled. No intolligent man will thorefore beliove that the pooplo of Obio, In dofenting the Ropublican party and Mr, Columbus. Dalano, have decided to go back to tho Democratio party. st e AN ERA OF DEFALUATION, Thero is no doubt {hat tho general disruption of partics, which ia vory distinctly indicated in the Towa and Olio olections, is partly duo to tho wide-sproad improssion among tho people of this country that the public ofiices sra not as honostly sdministerod, as class, 88 they ought to be. Thers bavo beon sufiicient oxpostres of official corruption to warrant this impression. They have not alwaya been in national mattors, but the defalentions thut have ocourred in Fod- oral, Stato, aud Jocal trusts have been g0 numor~ ous s to oxcite tho gonoral distrust which wo have meptionod, In addition to tho notunt dofaleations, there have been other evi- dences of "corruption calculated to create the samo Bugpicion, Of thia class aro tha evidences of Congressionsl and logislativo bribery, of solf- ish aud partisan maladministration of office, of unoxplained suortage pf sccounts, eto. Every fow duys there are now contributions to the black list which has ocensioned the popular dis- trust, It is of no particular jmport whether they ore furnished by tho Republican party or tho Demooratio party, by the Foderal ofiices or Btato offices, by the chiofs or their subordinates. The offect on tho public mind is tho same, and tho first natural romedy that suggests itsolf is o chango, ‘Now York State has furnished a vory important contribution to tha later dofsleations, amount- ing to £800,000, and coming out of the funds in the hands of the Btate Treasurer. In this case, the defaulter was Charles H. Pholps, Cashior of tho department. Ho was mot an officeholder olected by thoe paoplo, but he was in a position of official truat, and his detaleation was rondorod possille by the looso systom af administration, whick, in fact, ie truo of all defalcations in pub- lio offico. By an agroemont botween tho Comp- trollerand thoTronsurer of the Btaioof Now York, tho Stato fundsare doposited in somo five or six Albgny banke, Thorohad beona systom of checltd and two sets of books adopted to guard agalnst fraud, but these procautions were dropped. The wholo finsncisl administration of tho offico sooms gradually to have pagsed into tho hands of tho Cashior, 80 that hls mero statement of the accounts and bank-balances was accepted na final.
