ARREST oF A PostmasTER.—The Alexandria Sentinel of last evening notes the arrest of Post- master Wilson, of Lynchburg, on Tuesday, the instance of Special Agent Pattie, for traud- ulently sending campat'gn aocuments througt the United States muils, and says he was taken to Washington, where the charges preferred against him will be investigated.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of yesterday -says that President Grant’s object im visiting that city on Tuesday was to Vgeaend one of his sons at an educational establis He was the guest of Jay Cooke, Esq., at his pi latial residence, Chelten Hill.

PAwNez.— The senior commanding officer at Key West informs the Navy department that all the cases of yellow fever on the United States steamer Pawnee (some half dozen) are doing weil and recovering. Only one other death than that of Lieut. Commander Mitchell has taken _place— that of the paymaster’s writer of the Pawnee, who died on shore. There were no cases of fever in Key West, and the officers and crew of the Saugus were in excellent health. Tux Sreakersair.—The Washington cor- respondent of the New York Times says it is re- ported that Mr. Blaine may possibly find an- other candidate for the Speakership in John A. Kasson, of Iowa. Quite a number of western Congressmen have quietly indicated their will- ingness to support a western man, if he should appear to have any considerable strength. The friends of Mr. Wm. A. Wheeler, of New York, state that had he not given his promise not to become a candidate, he might be assured of a strong support in the west. Mr. Maynard is also still in the field, but, notwithstanding the occasional appearance of a new candidate, there now seems to be littledoubt that Mr. Blaine will encounter no very considerable op- position. Cocnisk KgEPinc THe PgAcE.—Commis- sioner Smith, of the Indian bureau, says the negotiations between Gen. Howard and Cochise never took the form of a treaty, but Cochwe agreed, in consideration of receiving rations only from the government, and otuer help by which he should be able to liye without plun- der, to desist from depredations in the country. That Cochise understood this agreement is on dent from the fact that he has frequently re- strained some members of bis band who desired to raid in Mexico, and had ordered off his res- eryation other Indians who had come in with booty evidently from Sonora, desiring to trade with his own band; and, furthermore, that Co chise had expressed his readiness to join with the United States forces in the pursuit and cap- ture of marauding Indians.

O., Sept. 18, 1873. } To the Editor of the Star: Sr: The attention of the people of Washing- ton is called to the condition of the stricken and needy community at Shreveport, La.,and their substantial sympathy is invited, with the assur- ance that the call will not be in vain. In addi- tion to the published dispatches many private telegrams have been received in this city, rep- resent the distress as terrible, and on the in crease, add it does not seem necessary to add anything to the harrowing story. The need for money is urgent and immediate, and in response t an invitation several well-known gentlemen have consented to call upon our citizens to re- ich assistance as they may be disposed to ves twice who quickly gives.” " ra will ‘he Rly ai ‘at Philp mons’, urn’s, and at the office of ited that a contribution for this object be taken up in all the churches of Wash- ington next Sunday, and a benefit for the suf- ferers be given by the different theaterson such The active covperation of all Louisianians in this city is expected.

The Cause of the Suspension. The Northern Paciffe Railroad too Heavy a Load to Carry. What the Bank Men Say. The Other Banks Net Affected by the Suspension. Quite an excitement was created to-day in the neighborliood of the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., upon the placing of the following notice in a conspicuous place over the window : «« SEPTEMBER 18, 1573—In consequence of the suspeusion of Jay Cooke & Co.,in New york and Philadelphia, we have concluded to close our doors until we hear further from them.” All kinds of speculations were indulged in as to the cause of the suspension. It was asserted by some that the large amount of gold required to be purchased by the Cookes at high rates to pay the interest on the Northern Pacific rail- road bonds contributed to the result. INTERVIEW WITH MANAGER TENNEY. A few minutes before one o’clock the reporter of Tne Star had an interview with Mr. Ten- ney, who acts in the capacity of general man- ager of the bank, when the following conver. sation ensued: Reporter.—_‘Mr. Tenney, what is the cause and extent of this suspension?” Mr. Tenney.“ It is only temporary: we have heard of the suspension of our Philadelphia and New York houses. The Philadelphia house sus- pended first—then the New York. The directors of the house in this city are confident that in a short time the houses in each place will be able to resume, as the European house is solvent, with a large surplus. It isa matter of as mach surprise to us as to the public, and we are unable at present to give any tacts in regard to the suspension. We are in the dark regardin, the action of the other houses, and were forced to suspend on their account. The bank can now open its doors and pay dollar for dollar, but we do not deem it expedient to do so until further advised. At all events, the members of the firm individually are wealthy, and can pay the deposits. It is my belief that the weight or the Northern Pacific railroad bonds bore down so heavily upon our houses that we were forced to suspend.’ ANOTHER SUSPENSION. As soon as the news of the suspension became general, something of a rash was made upon the First National Bank, of which ex-Governor Cooke is president. At one o’clock this firm also closed their doors and caused to be placed thereon the following notice: “The First National Bank of Washington, D. C., has found it necessary to suspend bu: to-day. H. C. Swatn, Cashier ‘This announcement caused the gathering of a number of persons, depositors and others, but nota very large crowd. THE BANK OFFICIALS. Mr. Tenney, the assistant cashier, was quite overcome when interrogated by Tux Star re- porter; it was with difficulty he could speak and give his statement, the blow evidently coming upon him like athunderbolt. Mr. H. D. Cooke, ir., left tor Philadelphia on the noon train, and Was not aware of the anticipated suspension. In the rear room of Jay Cooke & Co.'s office, John Jay Knox, of the Treasury department: Mr. Tenney and Mr. H. C. Swayne, cashier of the First National bank, together with several directors, were in consultation. THE LONDON HOUSE ALL RIGHT. At half past one o'clock the following was received: D. W. Middleton & Qo., Bankers: “The London firm of Cooke's responds to this suspension that all drafts and letters of credit upon them by Jay Cooke & Uo., will be duly honored.” HOW THE GOVERNMENT 18 APPRCTED. Just how much government money is held by the First National Bank cannot be ascertained, either from the bank or Treasury officials, Mr. Middleton states that they always had the credit of keeping a considerable amount of government fundson hand. He believes the causeof the failure to be dealings in Northern Pacific, as he cannot attribute it to any other cause, FURTHER PARTICULARS. It has been rumored that the Freedman’s Savings Bank was a heavy loser by the suspen- sion, but this is a mistake. That bank hada collection account at Jay Cooke's, but had only about $300 on a there. Ex-Governor Wells, of Virginia, had deposited $2,700 with the bank just before it suspended, but expresses confidence that the depositors will not lose anything. Judge MacArthur, of the Supreme Court, had, itis stated, some $11,000 on deposit with Jay Cooke & Go. NO RUN ON THE OTHER BANKS. For a short time to-day there was some ac- tivity at one or two bank counters, but nothing amounting to arun, and asit soon became ap- ent that there was no danger of any other yank here syepencing the drawers began to return their de; its. The banks of the Dis- trict are in in excellent condition, and were never better able to sustain themselves on an emergency of this kind. ‘THE FIRST MATIONAL BANK. It was rumored that the First National Bank, was suspended upon an order of John Jay Knox, comptroller of thecurrency. He visited the bank soon after hearing of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., but it been closed be- fore his arrival. INTERVIEW WITH DR. J. B. BLAKE. Our reporter called upon Dr. J. B. Blake, president of the National Metropolitan Bank, and questioned him about the possible effect of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co. upon the other Danks in the City. The business of the bank Loser hed ie be and undistur! Doctor had time Keg lglg at peeled ae rewmpover's connected more especiall: busi with banks elsewhere thro hout the country. President Blake reiterated the inion that the banks of the city would not be in the least at- fected by this suspension. THE CITY OOLLECTOR’S DEPOSITS. All the deposits of taxes collected by the city were placed in the 1st National Bank, but a few days since, according to Mr. Swayne’s state- ment, Collector Slates withdres: nearly all the available funds to his credit, leavi small deposit on hand. % pips SIDEWALK SCENES. It would be impossible to graphically describe the scenes in front of the bank building. All kinds of theories as to the cause are advanced. Togs / ay oaee depositors.

Jay Cooke & Co. suspended payment to-day at noon. Doors of their banking house, on 3d street, now closed and guarded by police. Large crowd congregated on 3d street in front banking house. Cause of suspeusion not known. Jay Cooke, who is here, says it began in their New York house. News as it spreads through the city creates intense excitement. M. [Second Dispatch.) PAILADELPHIA, Sept. 18, 1:10 p. m.—Jay Cooke & Co. have just issued the fello ring card: “We regreifto be obliged te}announce that owing to unexpected demands on us, our firm has been obliged to suspend payment. In a few days we will be able to present a statement of oar affairs to our creditors, until which time we must ask for their patient consideration. We believe our assets to be largely in excess of our Mabthi- ties.” [BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.) New York, Sept. 18.—Jay Cooke & Co. have announced their suspension, in consequence of large advances made to sustain their Pbiladel- phia house and a large drain upon their own de- posi It is hoped the suspension will be only temporary. [Second Dispatch.) 215 vp. M.—The excitement in Wall street is growing more intense every moment, and operators in both stocks and gold are nervous to the Freatest degree as the hour of closing the board approaches. The announce- ment of failures was expected —the first one re- ported was that of Robinson & Sudam, of 15 road street; next came that of Kichard Schell. The feeling is such that no surprise would be felt at the failure of any house on the street. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18—The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. have suspended. A great crowd is now collected around their places. {Second Dispatch.) PUuILapELraIA, Sept. 18.—The suspension of Jay Cooke & Co. is only temporary, and no business will be transacted to-day. It is under- stood that ail parties will be protected. The present state of affairs in New York has consid- erably affected the house. The firm will come out with an authoritative statement this after- noon. There is great excitement on the street concerning the matter, and a large crowd is gathered around the office. The failure of the Midland railroad is said to have something to ¢o with the suspension, and the Northern Pa- cific, it is rumored, has likewise drained their treasury, [Third Dispatch.) PHILApELPatA, Sept. 18.—Jay Cooke & Co, Promise a statement of their affairs this after noon. They say that the suspension was as great a surprise to themselves as to the public at large. [Fourth Dispatch.) New Yorx, Sept. 18—There is great excite- ment on the street in consequence of the an- nouncement of the failure of day Cooke & Co., and the question generally asked is, “Who next?” Stocks took # tumble, generally caused as much by apprehensions of the fature as by the exciting condition of attuirs. Prominent Wall street men attribute the suspension of the firm not so much to the efforts to sustain the Philadelphia house as to operations in Northern Pacitic,which it is said they sought to carry beyond their strengh. It is expected that the life insurance with which Jay Cooke & Co. are connected may have to go under. It is said that Jay Cooke has lost large sums in the recent gold movement. An- other rumop is that tightness in the money mar- ket and inability to dispose of his paper, hur- ried, if it did not actually cause the suspension [Fifth Dispatch.) PHILADELPBIA, Sept., 18.—Jay Cooke & Co., deny emphatically the truth of scores of rumors as to the cause of their failure, and say it has been caused more than any thing else by in- dividual advances to the Northern ?acitic rail- road company. qhey deny positively iat they have anything to do with the gold mic!ng operations. They make this statement in con: sormende of reports telegraphed from New York. ee Wall Street To-day. New York, Sept. 15, 2 p. m. he day ope: in Wall street with a continuance of tha pression and uneasiness which has been « 4 predominant feature in the stock exchange for days past, and very soon the depression tuok the shape of a panic, in consequence of reports of further failures. ‘First it was reported that the Pennsylvania railroad oc ny trouble in consequence of not being ab gotiate some loans on the other side. This was afterwards denied, and @ fresh report started that Jay Cooke & Co. were in trouble. Fora time the matter was left in doubt, and the feel- ing of the street fluctuated in sympathy with alternate denials and assertions of the failure. Finally Jay Cooke & Co., in an oficial letter to the stock exchange, announced that in con- sequence of heavy advances made to sustain their Philadelphia house, as well as a large drain upon their own deposits, they were com- elled to suspend. The banking-house of the ‘m was crowded this morning by friends and others in search of information in tegard to this unlooked-for event, and much sympathy e was expressed for ‘the firm in misfortune which has overtaken them. This suspension had a great effect upon the Stock Exchange, and was the great topic of discussion in financial circles. The stock mar- ket opened steady, and an improvement over last night’s prices in some cases, but the temper of speculation soon changed, and under heavy ressure to sell broke the entire market. At mes prices would shoot upward, but conilict- ing soon made the market weak again, and the decline carried the prices to a lower paint than that previously touched.

General diseatisfaction, however, is expressed at the action of the A. & W. RB. R. com "s officers, notonly in attempting to tear up the carrying off the iron they had torr the were stopped, but at the course of the city alsin allowing them to carry it off. City Surveyor Carter, who will determine the exact amount of iron carried away, says that without actual measurement he estimates the quantity removed to be about ten toms, the rails from twotracks having been torn up and carried off from Duke street to midway between that and Prince street, avd some loose rails that were lying along the north end of the track. The feeling throughout the city, is universally con demnatory of the actic railroad com- pany, and immediate retalitory measures are advocated by many, among the first being an carly called meeting of the city council, and the rescinding of the resolution granting the right of way over St. Asaph street south of Princess stréet, and should this be done, the company have paid dearly for the two car loads of old rails they succeeded in taking off. The Gas says: “It may be remembered, too, that Mr. DuBarry and Mr. Stephens, who was alsohere yesterday rintending the removal of the track, and who says that he will have all the rails on Henry street betore long, are among the leaders in the scheme for annexing this city to the District of Columbia, and the opinion pretty generally expressed is that they had better wait for the successful accomplishment of that scheme before they commence the work of ‘tearing up things.’ Judge Keith has granted an injunction in ac- corlance with the prayer of Mr. Da Barry, superintendent of the Alexanilria and Washington railroad company, restraining city council from interfering with the track. Tt was rumored im Alexandria yesterday af- lernoon that the attempt to remove the rails b: the A. & W.R. R. company, would be renew last night, and that a large gang of colored lab- orers bad been engaged for that purpose. The mayor has instructed the police to guar! the track night and day, and to report any attempt to tear it up instantly at police headquarters, when, if need be, the whole male portion of the city will be summoned as a posse commitatus to resist it at any cost. for though Judge Keith's injunction restrains the city council from intere fering with the track, it docs not give the rail- road company authority to tear it up and carty the iron away. . ———_--—__.
