VOLUME 27. THE CHICAGO TRIEUNE, WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEADING NEWSPAPER I THE NORTHWEST. THE PAPER FOR TEE FARMER, MECHANIO, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming yoar promises to bo the most eventfulin a political sonso that we havo seen since tho close of the war. The questions which have engrossed and divided the public mind during the past twonty yoars ero rapidly passing away, and wo find growing up in different parts of the country o party called by vari- ous names---in Californie the Inde- pondent party, in Iowa tho Anti- Monopoly porty, in Wisconsin tho Reform perty, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having o com- mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a sirength which proves that it answers one of tho chiof de- mands of the hour. Tho CIIICAGO TRIBUNE will givo a largo share of its attontion to this ITEV/ MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That tho old party organiza- tions aro essentiolly corrupt and fraudulent, Having no longer any principles to carry into efloct, thoy have bocomo immere business entor- prises, making & show of opposition to each othor, but reelly shering in the proceods of profligate and dis- honest logislation. To supposo that any healthful reform can fiow from the protondod eilorts of those worn- out and domoralired parinorships is altogother vaia and illusory. T syotem now in 24, That tho tori: voguo is o cunning dovico to rob the meny for the benefit of the fow, and that its cffect is to cauvso farm pro- ductd to exchango for about one-half tho quantity of foreign or “pro- tocicd” goods they would otherwise buy. ¥ 8d4. That railroada cennct exaet more then o faiv rata of interost on the capital aotuelly investod in thom, and thet whon, in addition to thiz, thoy claim dividends on weaterad gtock and {raudulent honds, the Statomay vightfully intcrfove for tho protection of tho peopla ; thatun} discriminetions betwoen diilvrens localitios are in violation of 1sw and should bo prohibited. 4th, Thet subsidios or bountics of money, land, or public credit, to reilway, stoamship, or othor corpo- rations, are flagrant abuscs of tho powers of goverament, fraught h tho gravest dangors to the poople, and tonding to promcto corruption, extravzgance, speoulation, ead financial disaster. The gonoral character of TN CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well ostablished to moed recapitulniion. It is slways indopondoat and fear- less in the oxpression of its views. Inits nows dopartmont it is socond to mo pepor in tho United Statos. Tho Weckly Idition contains a care- fully propared summery of the news of the week, brought down to tho hour of going to pross. Literary, politieal, financial, so- cinl, and egricultural topics will constitute, as heretoforo, leading fecturos of the Weekly Edition, and no pains will bo spared to incrosse its attractiveness in theso . dopart- ments. Its markot reports aro un- surpessed, embracing all tho infor- mation which {armers require fo» the intolligont transaction of busi- ness, both as sellers and buyors.

C., Nov, 26,—As it i3 510t cus- tomaxy for GGovernments to publicly maito kuown, unless by competent nuthority, the progress of nogotiations, it can therefora be seid thab the statomonts regarding an alleged agreemont ho- twoen Spain and the United Statos avs, to say tho lenst, premature. It is Lnown that our Goy~ ernment hay protested to that of Bpain agninst tho selzuro of tho Virginius while ilying tho Amorican flag, aud summary oxecution of a number of porsons captured, notwithstand- ing the offorts of our Vice-Consul to secure n dolny in order that our Governmont mught be hoard boforo Judgment should be pronounced, tho conduct of tho Spanish man-of-war, and that of the authoritics st Bautingo de Cuba being contrary, mot only to internntionnl Iaw, but against that comity which should al- ways cxist among civilized and friendly nations, The stay of further oxecutions at Santingo do Cuba by order of the Castolar Governmont, placed the cnso IN A CONDITION TOR BETTLEMENT, ‘This Governmént has already shown to the Spanish Governniont, or assumed that the Vir- ginius, having o United States rogister and car- rying the United Btates fing, was primn fncio an Amorican vosscl; at lenst this olinractor attached to Lior at tha timo of the seizure, and henoo the United States, in thoe absence of proof that own- uxshi;{ rosided in somo foreign power, wore Lound to proteot the flag sho carried.

Resumption of Bnsingss by the First Kational Bank of Memphis, Fevorable Showing Made by the Be- ports of the National Banks, JAY COOKE & co, Special Dispaich to The Chicago Tridune, THE TIRM ADJUDGED BANKKUPT. Parapcrremra, Nov. 20,—Iu the United Btates District Court, this morning, Judge Cadwalader presiding, the matter of petitions in bankruptey against Jay Cooko & Co. came up by order of the Court. Edwsrd Wilson, ropresenting the Togan Square Building Azeociation, primary petitioner, said tho order to show cause had been published a8 dirccted by the Court, John C. Bullitt, counsel for Jay Cooke & Co.. anid ho wan roady to appear for all tho defond- ants, and ihat they had all been personally sorved with the ovdor of the Court, Mr. Wilson replied that, under tho papers prosented, ho neked for an adjudication of bank- ruptey against tho defendanty, lr. Brinckloy, counvol for the intorvening croditors, nnid Iio alzo asked an adjudication of henkruptey ageinst tho dofondants. Judgo Cndwalader said that the proof of dobt was very simple, and askod if tho assignment s thore, Mr. Brinckloy #nid it was attached to one of the potitions, which was theroupon sont for. . 0. BULLITT, counsol for tho dofeudants, nddressing the Court, sald: I desire to stato tiot the de- Tendants feiled Sopt. 18, owing noarly ©8,000,~ 009 to pnrtiea living in_Yarious Statos in' this and foreign countrios. Cheir property comprised dobts of monoys owing them, renl :urnte,fimndu and stocks of compnuiey in various parts of tho conutry. Tho assots and croditors baing so wide- 1y scattored, thoy wero greatly embarraseed and st alogs to adopt a plan that would be beat for all. ‘Thoy could elther become voluntary bauk- rupts, or porfect an adjnstmoent of ihowr affairs with " thoir, croditors, ' instead of bankruptoy. After o congultation with such of their creditora s they could gathor togother, they ndopted tho Intler plan, and theroupon preparad the plan re- forred to, -in a papor attached to ono of ‘tho petitions 1iled in court. This plan, by o Inrge number of their creditors,—about 78 per cont,—wasapproved, Ono of their Iargest. eredicors, to whom $700,000 was duo, recorved from tho court naving jurisdiction of tho ac- countt consent to sign hisapprosalof thoplan. ‘I'he goneral foeling among the creditors was a proforenco for this plan to that of bankruptcy, as thoy rogarded even tho forty-third sectlon’ of tho Baakrupt act s beiug lees favorable to thom than tho plun proposed by tho defondants, Tho defoudants proposed surrendering overy dollar thoy owned ~for the bonofit o;y thoir croditors, if tho creditors agreed; for it seomed apperent that — tho; b no right to go into voluntary bmimpmy. Whilo ho was “thero to submit to whatover tho Court might direet, ha could not voluntarily con- gont to an adjudication of bankrupley against his clients. They would intorpose no_captious arguments, but, on tho contrary, would, with ali thelr ability, fecilitate their creditora in securing the monoy duno them, but gcl thoy cannot con- sont to an adjudication of berkruptoy. FORTHER DELIDETATIONS, Judgoe Cadwelader nskedif tho assignment was thore, 3lIr, Bullitt roplied that it was on record and mentionod in the petitions. M. DRINCKLEY, coungel for tho plaintifta, sald that the testimony ¥ to tho offect thal asslgnments hadbeon mado to Mr. Moorehord of proporties in othor Statos, whieb, it was candidly udrmnitted, weroiutended to provent tho soizure of that property by eradit- ors fu those States, No appraiemont had beon mado, It was not known that anything had been dono by tho Assignco to take posscssion of the nesigned property. Tho azsignmont has beon recorded “in this State, but it was nok kuown whether it had been rocorded {in othor Btntes. Judgments amounting to 316,000 had beon obtsined against thom in thia city, and two oxecutions had boon fssncd. Tho paper of Oct. 1 had not been exccuted, and tho nssets stlll romain in tho possession of the defendants, L. K. PRICE, for tho potitioners, said : I would like to atate what pased nt tho last meoting of oreditors whizh L ationded, Judge Gadwalador—Whom do you ropresent ? %ll‘j Préfu—uiwif P B Y Judgo Csuwalnder—ITave you filod a petition 7 Bir, Lrico—I havo not, 5 Judge Cndwalader—T'hen I cannot hear you. Unless you reprercut a claim of your own, o) uomo one else, I eannot inton to you. v, Prico—1 baven't o claim of my own, but 3 attonded that meeting of tho creditors ay Presi. dont of the Ponusylvanin Colonization Society ; and I wouldliko to state what took place, for the information of yorr Honor and of the gen. tlemen of the Bar who are pressing for an ndjudi- cation of bavkruptey agaiust the dofendants ic theso procesdings, Judge Cadwnlador roplied that, whilo ha dis. liked to pravent a senior momber of tho Bar from Lehag hoard, yet * I think, under tho cir- cumstances, I ought not to hear you ovon st amicus curide.” Mr. Prico then took his seat. JUDOE CADWALADER, I stated o fortnight ngo that tho creditors had beon commendably focboaring, and that tho papor of Oot. 1 was seriously objectionable in viow of tho nrovisions of the Dankmupt law. I thon furthor sugmestod the appointmont of a Commissioner undor the forly-third section of tho reb to_ndministor dofondants’ estates. An wnusunal delay hos ocewrred, and thore hag clapsed sixty days sinco the execution of tho papor of Oct. 1. If the defondants will say that they aro now ready to declare o dividend of & per cent, I will strongly recommond tho creditors to pestpono tholr epplication for an adjudica- vion, Othorwiso I must procoed regularly to an adjudication, Mr. Bullitt, for the defendant, replied that ho , was not prepaved to auswer tho suggestion, 1t would raquiro n payment of $400,000 or $500,000 to-dny or to-mortow, and he was not sufiiciently familiar with thoir money accounts to avswer it. JUDGE CADWALADER, Ithon withdraw the suggestiou, In fact, I don't know thet I would lisve any right to compel it, but {imo auflicient hag olapsed to socure a cer- tainty to that mattar, MR, DULLITT. 1f counsel will ullu!mud thu;proceadings, I ean lot them know by this evening. Judgo Cadwaluder—I meant when I spoko nbout a fortnight ngo to assure the creditors fhat 1 could not onforco tho puporof Oct. 1. ‘Tho ereditors have hoen very lemaout, and thers whonld be no longar delay, Alr. Bulitt—I do not’ complain, for I never #nw o caso in which so much confidence wau re- posad by croditors in their debtors, MR, WILLON anid: I nsked for an adjudication to-lay simply Jor tho protection of tho rights of my clicats, but if tho defondants ask & delny of ta-day only, T consont to it hlr, Brinclly said: Dy clionts hava not unne duly pressed ‘tho defendauts, nod they think that, undor tho cironmutances, thoy aro now on- titled to an ndjudication, Judge Cndwalador—Yes, eiv; and an adjudls cation may bo entered, 3r.
