It may bo assumed that Confidence, which was 80 rudely shnkon by the failure of Jny Cooke and the subsequent susponsions in various parts of the country, is now restored. But tho confl- denco which now oxista is of a moro scrutinizing typo thun that which prevailed five woeks ngo. Confidonce is not roatored in tho Northern Pa- cific Railway on the Joy Cooko basia, It is not rontored in o mejority of tho * enterprises” which led to tho panie, It is mnob re- stored in Vaoderbilt's watored stooks, or sy other species of moonshine, Pooplonow Love confidenco thgt whatever is, is. During the panie, they sceifiddrto bolieve that whatover iy, ien't. Tho abundance and excellent charactor of tho crops, and the unusunl demand for thom in foroigu countries, hava ballasted tho reoling c1afs of Finance, and given us time to Inquire rationally whother there a anything to bo fright- oned about, and, if so, what it is. It hms been found {hat there is not so much property in tho country ss the crodit systom, which uns been bullt up during he past ten or fwelve yenrs, calls for. This condition of things Is the usual make-up of o finaveial cisis. There can bo no real erisis without it. A currency panio, which is an alto- getlior difforont affair, never lusts long or doos much miselief. Wo hud a financial crisis in 1857 which was disnstrous and protracted in ite contequencos. Thoro was not 8o much praperty in tho couniry at that timo s peoplo supposed when they ontered into their obligations. Wo Lad o curremcy panic in 1861 which wos short-lived and inconveniont, but, on tho whole, not disastrous, People hnd not contracted obligations much shead of their moans, Tho losson of 1857 was too fresh in their recollections, They had been brought down to * hard pan,” and they had not got away from it. Ilence, whon the Southern States rovolted, and their bouds, upon which our carrency was partly bused, bocamo valucless, wo lost that much of our inveetment, but nothing more, Tho ivgredicnts of o financial crisis did not then exist—therefore it did not come. Tho panic is over, but the crisis is not. This is shown by tho fact that (ho peoplo have stopped running tho banks, but the mmnufactories lave mot stopped discharging their hands, tho railronds have not recovered their former volumo of traflio, the Governmont Iz not ablo to pay its current ex- penes out of its current roceipts, morchants are not doing the snmo business as before. Con- fidenco has beon restored to tho extent of recog-" vizing this Iucé, and acting upon it. While gome poraons are still hoarding greonbacks, the number is much less than it was two weeks ago; but &27zvo bogun to cconomize. The sggro- gato oxponditures of the people have boen curtailed hundreds of millions of dollars. Profligacy and waste have mnearly consed. Speculation has hoen brought up with a round turn, and oxists now only in cases whero desperate men avo striving vainly to got baok what they havo lost. All thisis n hoalthy pro- cegs—tho ouly process in fact which can bring us out of our difticulties. Wo bave beon spend- ing too much, living too fast, botting too heavily on the future, investing our surplus too largely in tho distanco. Wo must now curtail oxpensos, ceavo discounting the future, and employ our capital in productive industry, Our invest- meuta in diosolving viewa llko Northern Pacific will roturn to us in time, just ns the investmonts in Chiengo & Alton, Iinols Contral, LaCrosso & Milwaukee, Bt, Paul & Fond du Lae, and a mul- titudo of tho best-paying roads in tho country, which went by the board in 1857, returued to us after Lho country had grown up to them, Wae repont that confidence {8 now rostored, but it is & rational confidenco,—n confldonce Lnsed upon fucts, and not likely to bo shakon again vory wmoon, Recovery of businoss and full resumption of prosperity will be more speedy, wo judgoe, than in former crises, beeauso the resourcas of the country aro greater in proportion to the outstanding liabill- tieg, The room for economy and rotrenchment in certainly mora ample, aud in applying this romedy—tho only sure one tho ease admits of— cach ono must bo his own physician. CITY POLITICS, Thera have been various movements during thio last ton days for the selection of proper can- didatos for municipul ofiices, All theso efforts, though made by different persons, have had for 1hoir common purpose tho union of thoe respoct. ablo and tax-paylug citizons against an organiza- tion which may thraaten the peaco and imporil tho credit of the clty. As we wiito, a con- forenco botwoen thoso opposed to My, Hesing's attempted combination of all the foreign-boru eitizous has beon arranged, and from this, it is to bo hoped, & common under- stending muy bo reached, without which success is impousible. The Heeing party claima to have tho enitire Germau, Irish, Scandinavian, French, and other foroigu-born voto, besides all thoso interested thig elnim wero well founded (as it Is not), thero would bo an ond to the wholo matter, and all that Mr. ITeslng wonld havo to do wonld bo to got his party to tho polls and olect all his candl- dntos. The foroigu-born vote of this city Is about two-Lhirds of tho whole, DBut Mr, Hosing cannot muster all of the Gormans, and only a limitod uumbor of the Seandinaviane, Ilis fol- lowing smong the uative-born cltizonn s an uncortain quantity, depeutling largety on the lssuo prosented whon the enmraign s fally opened. The Ttish are lnstinetivoly opposed to any union with the Germaus, nomatter what the object of that unlon may bo. They have o peraonal or politieal sympatly with Mr, Hesing, whom they remomber as an arbityary, unserupn- lous, and tyrannical onomy during tho past cighteon years, Tloy have no sympathy with any Sunday saloon movement. Thoy are csson- tially aud univorsally a church-going poople ; thoy aro porbaps tho only class of oitl- zons who rocognizo snd comply with it as an imporative duty, mnot to Lo shirkod or ovaded, to nttond church on Bunday. Thoy not only attond church thom- selves, but their families, down to tho smnllost child, attond church every Bunday in the year, Ths ontire force of tholr religious instruction is agafust the use of liquor, and espooially against soy traflio thorein on Sunday. Therefore, Mr. MHesing {s recltoning without his host whon he counts on any large Irish support. Iiis chances aro'much bottor amoung tho native-born popu- lation, Now, itis an open question whethor peoplo whoso porsonal, politiesl, and religions feelings aro opposod to Hosing and his party, will ultimately vote with that party or not, It is cortnin thoy will not vote with Hesing unloss driven to do mo by an intemperate or intolerant antngonism. Tho mass of the voters aro not temperauce peoplo in the sonso of favoring prohibitory laws or the lagnl onforce- ‘mont of roligions obsorvancos ; and it s o ques- tion whother they shall bo driven to the support of Hesing or allowed to unito in & common ef- fort to eloct mon of personal integrity and fitness to administer the Government of the city, unom- barrassed by proseriptive platform. It would be farbotter, in view of tho financial difficultics which - oppross us, and aro likely to continuo through the winter, to kick all tho platforms to tho dogs, and unite in agood tickot to dofont tho Hosing combination, which is only the gathering nuclous of a Chicago Tammany Ring, bosed upon foreign votes and publie plunder. It i8 o serious question for those who are op- posed to Mr. Iesing to deoide whetler they can avercome one form of intolernnce by anather, Tho Committes of Soveniy have prepared o platform, which thoy insist shall bo ratified by tho puble. * Tthas tho appearance at losst of o religious crusade, and this appearance will count Inrgely to their.disndvantage at the polls, Othor bodics of citizens have their peculiar viows, whiclrin turn aro opposed by large numbors, It scoms to us that this Is no occasion for plat- forms ¢ all, of avy kind. Tho people of Chi- cago do not propose to inquire, at this elaciion, by whom eandidates'have beon nominated ; but each votof proposes to yoto for that candidato whose porsonal cheracter and standing give the best assuranco that ho will bo an honest and faithful public officor. Br. Honing nrrays himself against the Sunday lawa. Theso laws, until ropealed, hove to bo enforcod, aud tho quostion of their repeal or modifiention rests not with the Mayor, County Treasurer, and Probato Judge, but with the Aldermon eleoted in tho aovoral wards, ¢ 16 seoms to ns that, if thero bo a desire tounite tho opposition to Iosing upon ono ticket, tho courso is & very plain ono, and that is, tho with- drawal of all platforms, of whatover kind, aud tho sclection of cundidates for Mayor of wall- kown citizens of honesty, integrity, and capn- city, whose personal claracter alono will give assurance that thoy will administer the Municl- pal Government economically, oxecuto tho laws fairly and impartislly; who will neithor stoal thomsolves nor pormit othors to du 8o ; and who will seelc to promoto the genoral welfara of the city, and mot their own porsonal aggrandize- ment. THE PROIECTED CARPET-MILLS, Ouo of tho first effocts of tho panio was tho closing of & number of Lthoe carpot-mills of Phila~ delphin, and it is now announced that othors willsoon follow. From various parts of Now England we lave the Tact that mills aro shorton- ing work, by either reducing tho hours of labor, mills or closing ‘tho one, two, or three daya cach week, Those all indi- cate that thero is a general retrenchment of expenditure ; that the public are forced to buy loss, and to dispenso: with everything that can bo spared from the ordinary economy of tho houseluld. The manufacturo of carpets in the United Btates is under tho specinl patronage of tho Government. In the first place, tho carpot- makers aro allowed to import their woola at & nominel rate of tnxation, They ara thon pro- tocted from tho . competition of foreign- made carpets by taxes amounting to 75 per cont in ecnrrency., Evory yard of carpet made in Philadelphin is protected from compelition by that tax. The Government bas eutered Into pavinership with the carpet- manufacturers to tax the people. It collects for its own use tho duties on thoe imported enrpots, and allows its partnors to collect thom on tho home-made articlo,—ngreeing that tho prico shall not go below n cortain figure, Under this stimulus the business hay been overdone, The anxiety to shnre tho oxtraordinary profits has led . to over-production, and theso mills for sov- eral years have found themsolves with stooks of goods on hand far boyond tho smount nesded to meot tho demand., Theso carpots are of the chenpor kind, such us thoe mass of thoe pooplo purchaso, Tho stylosand pattorns aro chunged almost overy yosr. 'Ilio unsold stocks at the end of ench season have to Lo diu- posed of to make way for the now, and are gon- orally sncrificed. What is theroforo made with ono hand by protection Sal lost by the otherin a glut of the market, If tho proteotion hiad never boon granted at all, the manufacture of earpets would have grown miore slowly, perbaps, but ‘more surely, and would not now bo on its boam- onds, & Tho same is the experionce of the woolon- mills which manufacture tho coarser liues of goods. Protoctod by & tux of 80 to 120 per cont, they, too, produco moro thau they can woll, and, agin tho cate of tho enrpot-makers, any luter ruption to the demand leaves them with fm- monso stooks of unealablo goods, which in the end must bo snerificed. . Tho prosent panio, having lessonod the domand for all articlo whoso uso con bo disponsod with, hag left those two olasacs of manufacturors with largo, stocks of goods and mo iu tho liquor-trafiio, of whatevor nationality, If purohasers, compelling them to close thoir millg nid dischargo tholr hands, This norvos to show tho valuo of that “homo market” which pr toction is supposed to furnish for tho consnmp- tion of Western breadstuffs. Tho producors of breadntufla are taxed from 78 to 100 por cont on thoir woolon goods and carpots In order to bulld up o homo market of Inborers who nro supposed Lo buy the brendstufls, But, at tho firat intor- ruption of businesw, theso protected cstablish- monts close thuir doors and dirchinrgo (heir opera- tvoe, loaving the homo market without n cent of wages with which to purchinso bread or any- thing clso, o . EXPORTATION OF DEET. Tho Now Yorl Times statos Lot it hos been found npon experimont that tho oxportation of live booves to Europe will not pay at tho present to of froights on stesmehips, Tho Glasgow louso which has attempted this trade lins sbandoned it, but 1t hos not given up the 1don of supplying tho Britlsh markot with freal boof. It is now proposed to slaughter the beef, and transport tho careassos in vossels furnished with refrigerating-tanks. Tho success of this business dopends almost oxclusively upon-the charactor of the boof ship- pod. The English have an nversion to hard and stringy beef. The Toxan Leoves, or cattlo fod on the Plaing, will not suit the English market. It is assumed, however, that beoves from Cen-~ tral Iliuois, Ohio, and Kentucky, fod three years oun graes, nud corn-fod ono yenr, will meet tho stondard of good beof in Eugland, and that they will fur- nieh as good boof as any brought to the Londou mnrkot, Tho Times entirnton that theso booves will dress on 62 pounds to tho 100, leaving 38 for offal. The cost will bo nbout $76 per head for steors that, whon slaughtered and dressed, will woigh from 900 to 1,200 pounds. Tho * fifth quartor,” whicl includes tho horns, hoofs, hido, shienk-bones, head, tonguo, and ontrails, are ro- lied on a8 sufficient to pay the railrond froight ond cost of slauglhtoring. At present, boef com- mands an unusually high prico in England, ba- enuso of the oxcluslou of beoves from the Baltic and from Lisbon beeauso of discase. Tho pros- ont importation of boef into England from Ive- land is 8o great that beof-raising has largely taken the place of hog-breeding, and the crop of Irish pork is Jowor than in provious years, Un- der theso circumstnnees, it Is anticipated that tho supply of pork for tho British Navy horetofore obtained from Ircland must be sought this year from tho United Sintes, Tho domaud for mess beef willof course be inereased by the ruling high prices of frosh beef in all tho Britich markets, It is not improbable, therefore, that, in addition to the unusunlly largoe domand for brendstufls, thero will bo also an increased do- mand for provisions. Should tho oxportation of fresh beef becomo permanent, then Leef-raising in Illinois will receivo a fresh impetus, TAEING OARE OF THE SICK. A papor was read beforo tho Evangolical Alli- anco on tho subject of *The Caro of the Bick,” propared for the Conference by the Count Ag- onor de Gasparin, of Goneva, since doceased. 1t took tho ground that thoro should bo less of organization and more of frae individual action in our charitics, and illuatrated this principle by n comparison of the Roman Catholle Bistors of Charity and tho Protestant Deaconesses of Germany and Switzorland. Corpora- tions aud hospitals, Le says, wero the chinritica of the Middie Ages; mnd wo Lave kopt up theso tradilions of the Roman Church beeauso they provide the most ready and comfortable disposition of the moncy wo are rondy to devote to the caro of the sick, the poor, and theaged. The systemn is essentially gollish. The organization of Protestant Dancon- ceses i the opposite of this systom. It is uot in tho naturo of a secret nssociation of exclusive membership and religions vows. It does not break up all gocinl intorcourse, but leaves those who choose to devoto themselves to the work of charity tholiberty of choosing their work aceord- ing to thoir own judgment and adaptibility. At Lausaune, in Bwitzorland, there is o training- school for nurees, in which women of all ages and conditions servo an apprenticeship of ocight mouths, aftor o proliminary oxamination estab- lishing their fitnoss for tho vocation, and then go out into tho world woll prepared for thoe line of duty they have chosen. Maidons, wives, and widowa are equally permitied to entortheinatitu~ tion. Young Indies of good family aud simple pensant-girls como togatler without adopting auy common dress or sacrificing any personal proferences. Theyaredescribed as o harmonious community, in which concort of action ia pro- moted by the common aud voluntary purpose of doing good directly, and not by proxy. When thoy graduate as oxport nuraos, thoy go where thoy aro most neodod. Thoso who havo amplo menus of their own give their services gratui- tously. 'Those who are poor accopt their bonrd and o emall recompdnso from such as aro able to pay, or from an assoolation which paya for service rondorod to those who are too poor to givo ovon tho small recom- peusoe roquired, Under this system, - the seriptural chanty of clothing the naked and visiting the sick is dono literally, aud not by tho selflsh misconstruction of furnishing the money to maintain corporations for the purpose. Itis o substitution of individual or family care for cold, prafessional charity ; and tho system in workiug so well that it is being extonded to all olagsos of the needy and helpless, In Bolgium, tho sume practico I adopted for tho churgo of tho ineano, Inatead of howling lunntic-asylums and cruol disciplino, the indane are committed to cortain villages, avd distributed nmong the vari- ons fumilios, who recelve o recomponse for the charge put upon them. Thera is an wgtitution of Doaconcsses at o littlo placo, not montioned in Count Gasparin'a paper, enlied Kalsersworth, not far from Duesol~ dorf, in Germany. It has a beautiful location on the Rhino, aud is known ns the Mother-Ieneo.

Thelr work is ono of love rathor thun constrained duty, Dut thoy can always look forward to the mssurauce that, whon thelr enorgies aro exhausted, they will liave in turn a comfortablo hiome and good cara in sicknosy or old age, Boolotles of Dea- conesgos havo beon started in England during the last thirly yoars, but they have mado the mistuke of imitating the Itomnn Blstor- Loods rathor than the Cerman Protestant Assoclations, Tloy have attached themselvos to tho Anglican Ohuroh, taken monnstio vows, ehut themsolves out from tho world, snd imitated gonerally the corporation priuciplo.

Tho rosult 1 nttosted in England tht tholr sphoro of usoful- ness I8 donfined and the ir good works limited by theso chnrnctorlutics, Tho efforts that have been mado #o far in (bis country ab tho eatab- lishmont of P'rotostant Siatorkoods have boon In imitntion of tho English onniors. Tho systom of organization and work adopited by tho German Donconesyos Is undoubtedly better ndapted to tho Protestant roligion and #ho genoral charactor of Amorican inatitutions. DALMATIAN QUETOMS IN CALIFORNIA. In tho interior of Californis thora s o Sclavonian colony, which consists mostly of omigrants from Austrian Dalmatia, Among tho othor modimval customs which this community has imported into a civilized country (at lonst otvilizod by contrast) is ono which concodes to & disappointed lover tho right to sbduct tho womsn on whom he DbLas placed his affections, in csse eho will not consent to merry him, or to kil her if tho sttempt ab abduction proves o failure. Asa rosult of this prosorvation of the traditions of tho Dark Ages, o tragio story has just been brought to light, oxtending over two years, and nlready rosponeiblo for thres humon lives. In 1871, & young lady named McDaniels went to visit relatives at Chiorokeo Flat, whoro sho mot o Borvian omigeant named Sharksovitoh, who had formerly worked for her father, and had boon dismissed on account of his disagroe- able attontions to hor, The friouds sho was visiting kuow nothing of this, and, restrained by motives of modesty, she did not inform them of it, - Bharksovitch took advantago of hor roti~ conte to ronow his importanitics on every oc- onsion'whon ho found Miss MoDaniols alono, Ho preased his suit with all tho fervor of his Darbarian nature and traditions, mingling throats with ontroatics, At laut, ho swore by his blood and his tribo that ho would kill hor tho next night at o parly which-was to bo given at a neighboring rauch, if sho .did not- consent to hocomo his wife, Alarmed at this, Miss Mc- Daniols took one of the young ladies of tho house into hor confldence to tho extent of ad- mitting that Sharksoviteh was prossing his love upon lior, bogging at the same time that tho young lady would not leave horalono. This was promised, aud the next ovening they wont together to ‘the rarty. Asthey wero prepariug to go homo, Sharksovitch, who had beon watch- ing Llis opportunily, rushed upon Miss Me- Daniols, and stabbed her to death, Ho thon procliimed his name, gloated over tho docd, and mado ks eseape before the appalled specta- tor could gathior their wite togothor. Tho next moming, o party of ranchmen was organized- to pursue him. He was found in an out-of-the-way cabin, whero ho had concoaled himeolf. As the ‘pursuing-parly came up, ho shot himself, with s flondish shoat of exultation ovorhiscrime. Tho incoused ranchmen sot fire to tho esbin and threw his dend body among tho flames. Horo ends the first chapter. The sequel is cqually bloody and sppalling. A ghort tmo after, a writer in the San Fraucisco Chroniclé exposed tho barbarous cus- tom of the Sclavonien colony which led Shark- soviteh, or * Austrian Georgo,” as Lio was'called, to murder tho woman who could not respond to Lis affections, and charged that, if ho had roachod bia tribo, they would have defonded him to tho last man, This exposuro iucensed the colony, and they laid it at the door of a Sclavonian mer- chant of Ban Fraucisco named Marchelle. They doclared tho national vendotta against this man, and one of {hetribe named Ross was choson ag tho instrumont of their vongeance, Ho wag truo to his murderous trust, and, in March Inst, Le camo upon Marchells in Montgomory stroot, 8an Francisco, and sbot him down. ' When ar~ restod, Ross declared that Lo had dono tho desd for his raco, and not from any personal enmity, and that he was willing to die for having duly puniehed a traitor. The murderer hos rocently boon arraignod for trial inSan Francisco County. It is snid that, although thatportion of Dalmatia from which these barbarians como is now under Austrian dominion, the Austrisn Govornor has thug far beon unablo to obliterate their murdor- ous traditions in unsuccessful love-affairs. Wo hope that tho Government of California will do- velop & greator exocutiveforeo, g0 far ag tho Dal- matians are undor its jurisdiction. The oustoms aro littlo worse than the horrid revelations made not loug since of tho Chineso secret socloty in Ban Francisco, and thoy aro of s charactor to Jjustify tho most summary and effectual monns that can be discovered for suppresuing thom or tho peoplo who abido by thom, PROF, TYNDALL'S PRAYER-GAUGE. Orthodox Christians who have boen at all dis- turbod }:y the proyor-test suggestéd somo time 8go by Prof. Tyndall may find o good deal of comfort in an artiolo published in the Septomber number of Fraser's Mlagazine, in which Loonard Woolsey Bocon oxamines the relations of Prayor and Natural Law from s theological point of viow, and makos the strongost statement of thie ortho- dox estimato of prayer that haa yet boon brought forward-to controvert Tyndall's position, Il takes the familisr incident of the muscular young priest who olimbod tho Alps to * bloss the mountains " for the purpose of averting the ip< undation after, as Tyndall maintaing, all tho eauses that could load to the dreaded event had a fixed place in the system of naturallaw. Mr. Bncon suggests soveral oscapos that will com- moud thomsolyes to Olristian minds, Thora is tho hypothosis of a miracle, which, he olaims, {5 uonuui\"nbln alike to m‘!m‘q'n, philosophy, and sclonce, though probablo to none. . There may bo an nnswor to the prayer through the agonocy of human wills, suchss the application of solenco, or'tho engincoring art. Thoro fu also tho by~ pothesis of a Divino intervention, But Mr, Ba~ con i willing to talke up a more diffienlt problom thay any which Prof. Tyndall has suggostad,— ono in which tho mattor of tho prayer is already doclded and past, though the doclaion {8 not yeb known to the petitioner, In the considoration of 5o oxlromo a caso au this, ho makes sn fugo- nious argumont to show that prayer fu still propor, commendable, and porliaps nocossary, Tho oaso suggostod is ono of actual ocour- ronve, When travoling in Mosopotamin wome twonty years ago, Mr. Bacon mot two Amorican clorgywmon, At Diarbokr, ou the Tigrle, ono of thoso gentlomon recoived a lotter from Bhanghal, iu Ohius, soveral mouths bofore, announcing that his brother wad at that time lying danger- ously ill of typhus fover, The question then RIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1873, S aroso whothor 1t would bo right to pray for tho sick mau's racovory. It was decided that it would not bo right, as the prayer would be for rosurroction and not for recovery, for tho iu- valld must Liavo efthor rocovored long sinco, in which onso prayer would bo suporfluous, or died, in which caso it would bo uscless, Mr. Bacon thinks that tho declslon was wrong, and illus- trates his viow of tho mattor by o parable, A gontlemnn who had Lwo sons at school prom- Ised thom gifts at Christmas ou condition that thoy would write to him one weolk bofore to re- mind bim of his promise. Boon aftor, ho ro- moved kis rosidence so far awny that o lottor dated n wook boforo Obristmas ocould mnot poselbly roach him. Tho nous Lnow this, Novortholess, iho oldor wroto the lot- tor, nccording to agreomont, while the younger poohi-poohed the waste of time, and wont off to play. When Ohristmas Day camo, tho oldor son recotved n packago containing his fatlior's prosont, but none came for the younger. Tho way it happoned was ibis: Tho fathor un- dorstood thnt tho lsttors could not reash him in timo, but, knowing the difforont charaotor- intica of hls two sons, ho mald to himsolf that the oldor would be sure to write when the time camo around, but that tho other would nogloct it. o thorofore started off the older gon's presont in time to reach him by Christmas Day, but sent nothing to tho younger.
