Some onx who is, or fancies himself on the inside, has given publicity to the ramor that Charles De Long, our late minister to Japans and now on his way home from that country, will resume his residence in Nevada and bes candidate fer the seat in the United States Sen- ate now ocenpied by William M. Stewart. De Long once gaves James W. Nye a great deal of trouble ina contest of this kind, and he will be a formidable competitor fur Stewart's place.— San Francisco Chrenicte FINANCIAL SUSPENSIONS AND SETTLEMEN Wylie, Knevals & Co., sugar dealers, New York, have suspended, and have no statement to make. The Union banking company, of Philadelphia, bas submitted to ffs creditors the following proposition, which they say wiil enable them to resume business at an early day Creditors shall take fifty per cent. of their claim= in the stock of the bank, and that the bank shall then resume business, placing the re- mainder in cash to their credit.

To the Editor of The Star:—Patdon me for again trespassing npon your patience. The ar- ticle of yesterday signed ‘Another Creditor” is entitled to a reply. It is not possible for me to be driven into a position of fixed antagonism to the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. even by a newspaper controversy. its members deported themselves too modestly and kindly when in prosperity to be treated an generously now. If I prefer the © technicalities of the law" to the mysteries ot modern banking, or the intri cacies of an irresponsible trusteeship, [ hope I will be pardoned. All I ask now is a dispassion- ate and deliberate consideration of the present situation, and not to bein wo great haste to engage anew the pilots who have directed the ship upon the rocks. Is it not the conrss of prudence to first hear their explanations? In- duige me, however, in a few words of direct re- ply to the article of ‘Another Oreditor.”” e is not ingenuous, for he avoids the real ue, Which is, Shal ht by the associated able to realize promptly and fully from tueir assets,” the firm having proposed a trustee, He is not generous, tur he insists upon a sur render of the “dowere” of the wives of the members of the firm; a sacrifice not exacted by the law. He is not wise, because he says ‘the law claims only the amount invested by each part ner in the business of the firm.” When h should know that the law subjects their whole estates, partnership and individual, to the pay ment of their debts. He is not magnanimous, for he proposes tv keep the firm in a position that will compe them to pay his debt to the utmost fartii when the law says that a surrender of the present assets will protect their earnings here after acquired, He 18 not a lawyer, I infer; for he reviles th law for its “ vexatious delays, privations, and technicalities.” (Who ever heard of a profession or an art without its technicalities ?) I state, in conclusion, that I am ready to adopt, and to assist in carrying out in good taith, that course which, after mature consid- eration, appears best, for the interests of both the creditors and debtors.

OUTRAGE AND MURDER OF A Lirte Gigi ix West Vircinia.—A special dispatch from Hagerstown, Md., October 7th, to the Baltimore American says: Our comma nity was shocked this evening by intelligence of & most infamous crime perpetrated near Fall ing Waters, on the Virginia side of the Poto mac, about ten miles south of Hagerstown. Tue vody of ayoung girl named Annie Butler was found in Canningham’s woods, with marks upon it, which indicated that she had first been outraged and then murdered. Tue girl's parents who reside in the neighborhooa, sent her out to look for the cows on Monday ¢ven- ing. While In the woods she was overtaken by some fiend in human shape, and made the vic- tim of two horrible crim Her parents, alarmed at her prolonged absence, began to search for her last night, but her body was not found until this forenoon. ‘The greatest excite- meut prevails in the neighborhood, and if the murderer is caught he will certainly be hanged on the spot. A negro wasseen toenter the woods soon after the girl started in search of the cows, and he is suspeeted of having committed the horriblecrime. At the last advices the Coro- ner was holding an ing EARTHQUAKE IN Canwapa.—The Montreal Witness says that a special telegram from St. Hyacinthe stated that there was a slight shocs of earthquake at that placeon Tuesday, and it adds:—“\Atterward a severe shock, lasting forty minutes, was re as having been felt at ‘he Desert on the Gatineau, on the same mora- mg. It would appear that the shock was also telt in the upper part of this city. A gentle- man residing on Durocher street, ani who is well acquainted with earthquake countries, in forms us that on Tuesday morning, at 6:55, he felt the shock of an earthquake, having a roll- mg motion from north to south, and lasting about three seconds. His wife, who had not yer arisen, and who, like himself,is familiar wit) the rolling motion of earthquakes, having r: sided in countries where they are frequent, felt 4 similar sensation, and attributed it to the same cause.” BRINGING Jersey Lucistarons To Boox.— A proposition has been submitted to the Now Jersey constitutional convention, which will be voted upon to-day, requiring every member of the senate and general assembly before he en- ters upon the discharge of his duties to swear or affirm, in addition to the usual oath, that he has not paid or contributed, or promised to contribute, anything in the nature of a bribe to corruptly influence voters at the election in which he was elected @ member, and that be will not accept while a member, either directly or indirectly, any money or valuable thing from any corporation, company or person for au vote or influence on any bill or any other act or resolution. a Waces 1m Cors.—The difficulty experienced in obtaining currency to pay wages by large employing parties has induced at least one party ‘here to resort to the useof gold. The employes agree to take the coin at the quoted market difference between marked checks and due bills, which is about ten per cent: that is. 90 cents in gold for $1 in checks and due bills This is unquestionably a step towards the re- sumption of specie payments, and as the dim culty in the way of readily obtaining a supply of currency is increased, the more general will a resort to coin become.— Phila.
