Richm We have uno intelligence of any active opera- tions against the rebel forces east of Richmond or weat of Petersburg yesterday. The heavy rain storm of Sunday over all that region en- forced, temporap@ly, a sort of armistice, which may possibly still continne. Meantime, how- ever, General Grant, in strengthening the new positions be has gained, and in perfecting the dispasition of his varions columns for the work still before them, has been, our readers may rest assured, making the best possible use of this lull ia the storm of battle. He now menaces the centre and both flanks of Lee’s extended and attenuated lines. Where the next blow will be delivered against him we do not know, care not to inquire, and it would be idle to conjecture. Satisfied that General Grant tras the game within his bands, and Inows how to play it, we await in unquestion- ing confidence the next movements on the board. He has the power, and he oan choose hfs own time; for be is bound to win. Pas Caicago Convention ow tus War— Wowsverror lanorance.—The Chicago Conven- tion “explicitly declares” in its platform that the war és a failure, and that we must resort to other means than warlikegones to settle the differences between the people of the United States and ¢he friends and adherents of Jeff. Davis. Now it is only natural that the men of the Chicago Convention should have studied very closely and very intensely the history of that part of the war that was carried om and conducted by General McClellan, the favorite bero and leader of the Chicago patriots. Un- questionably they, like sensivie men, talk of the things they know most about, and when they speak of the war they mean General MoClellan’s part of it. We can, therefore, agree with the Chieago Convention on this point. There is no doubt that the war, as carried on by the nominee of that convention, was a most decided failure. But the Chicago Convention ought to know that part of the war that is honosable to the national arms. Has it never heard of General Grant? Is that convention alse, like its nomi- nee, ignorant of that great man’s achievements, and even of his name? The Ooming Financial StormsThe Cloud ta the West. Financial storms and erial storms have pretty much the same characteristics. A northeast storm rises in the southwest, end whirls rapidly eround, sweeping everything from its path. So our financial storms often begin in the very opposite quarter to that from which they were expected: Thé financial storm of 1837 commenced at New Orleans, and came northward like a tornado. The financial sterm of 1857 firat made its appearance at St. Louis and the Southwest, and raged over the country like a northeaster. The financial storm of 1864-65 whieh we have long pre- dicted as the result of the inflation of the past few years—bas displayed itself at Chica- go, and will be coming this way presently with tenfold. fury. Those merchants and speculators who bave taken our advice and are prepared for it may thank the Henan and their lucky stars. . The reports from Chicago inform ua that seve- rai banks bad failed and others refused to pay heavy checks. This caused a panic amongst all classes, and the emall produce dealers went under. Flour, wheat, corn, oats, rye and whiskey fell heavily, and everything else in proportion. Then a mob attacked ome of the banks, and proposed to bang one of the direc tors; but the military were called out and the director rescued. Here are all the indications of a fearful financial storm, and our produce merchants and flour speculators and bank di- reotora may see what they have to expoct. How long will it be before we have @ mob and are obliged to oall out our military? These things are contagious, like the disease which President Lincoln proposed to give to every one who calledon him. A mao may as- oend a ladder for a very long time; but sooner or later be will get to the top, and then he must either climb down or fall dowa. Our speculators have reached the top of their lad- der. We have tried'to induce them to descend while there was yet time for repentance; but they have persistently refused. Now there is nothing left for them bate tumble. We must have @ fall in gold, a fall in provisions. a fall io dry goods, a fall in coal, a fall in clothing, a fall im the butcher’s bills, a fall in rents, a fall in board, a fall in every necessity, comfort and luxury of life. There is no help for it, and there need ‘be no useless grumbling aboutit. We must all (all down together, and may Heaven help those who are undermost. We find a most convincing evidence ot the utterly wrong principles upon which business bas been conducted during this war in the fact that our victories will ruin our merchants. By some strange legerdemain our commerciai and manufacturing interests have been placed in a hostile position towards our national interests. Those who have played this triok will now be caught in their own trap. When any set of men array themselves against the country they must saffer. It isin vain that we have warned our eapitalists of this fact. They saw that the triumphs of our gallant -armies injured their business, end that they made money out of our defeats, and yet they had not sense emough to perceive that & business policy which had such results must be wrong, and should be changed. The truth is that all our merchants have turned specula. tors. Every business thoroughfare has become a Wall street. There bas been as much specu- lation in calico as ia stocks, in kid gloves as in mining shares, in coal as in coal oil, in segars as in railroads, in provisions as in gold. From the brokers to the papermakers, every- body has been gambling. Stewart's store has been like an exchange, with daily bulletins of the rise or fall of prices, and eager crowds around buying for the rise, or selling at whole- sale for the fall., At the theatres the actors speculated for a rise In salaries, and the mana- gers speculated in tickets, and the audience rushed out between the acts to ask the price of gold, and send messages to their brokers. There have been open boards and close boards, and morning boards and afternoon boards, and evening boards and midnight boards; and dggn-town boards and up-town boards, and ak exchanges and prodnce exobanges, and provision exchanges and mining exchanges, and petroleum exthanges and dry goods ex- changes, in order to accommodate the specula- tors, who rushed from the one to the other ina flurry of excitement. The natumal result of all this is a terrible financial storm, which Grant’s victories are hastening, and for which the ma- jority of the orazy speculators are totally an- prepared. When the tempest bursts upon us the poli- ticians will suffer with the speculators. They, too, have arrayed their interests against those of the people. Instead of nominating the great men who are sow saving the country from de- struction, they have passed by Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock aad Farragut, and have allied themselves with military and political failures. From the turn evente are taking we should not be surprised if these political speculators caught a fall. This is the fall season, and there is no reason why they shouldescape. Already the Cleveland platform has tumbled down, and those who eredted it are burted beneath its ruins. They cry aloud, as in Fromont’s letter; but their voices are but echoes withant bodies. The Chicago platform came down with a great crash, and Pendleton scems to have fallen with it; for nothing bas been beard of him since, and all our inquiries in regard to his lotter of acceptance are unanswered. MoOlelian, more fortanate than Pendleton, jumped off the plat- form just before it fell, and is now performing the acrobatio feat of standing upom bimeelf. Whether er not this is a chaky piatferm the future must determine. The Baltimore plat form, like the darkey upon whom it reste, ie very uncertain. Lineoln has only one leg upon it, and the other log is said to be supported by Grooley, Charo, Wade and Company, who are plied upon each other for a stepping stone to the Presidency. Bvidently, then, Old Abe's foothold is aot very reliable, an@ we may ex- pect to see him topple over at any moment end carry the whole shoddy concers along with bim. | The republican party was born in Chicago, and the democratic platform was framed in Chicago; but the Latest news from Chicago is aot favor- able to either the republicans or the demo- crats, Close upon our @manocial storm will come @ political storm, and it is singular that they bothoriginate in the same place. If the @nancial storm be delayed until after the election, weil and good; but if it should occur before the election we would act be surprised to see both Lincoln and McClellan set aside for those men who bave saved the sation in’ war, and who can beet govern it in peace. Crry Meussrs or Conursss.—The political canvass in this State in 1862, which was con- duoted by the democracy on a war issue; but in opposition to the emancipation abolition policy of the administration, resuited in the election of the following persens to represent this city in Congress:—Bea and Fernando Wood, J. W. Chanler, Elijah Ward, James Brooksaud Anson Horrick. Most of these geotiemen, on taking their seats in Congress, voted in opposition to the measures brought up for the prosecution of the war. The record of a majority showed throughout a sympathy for the rebels. It is true that Ben Wood left a very slim record; for he was seldom there to vote on any question, aod was sure to be absent when anything im- pertant was before Congress affecting the inter- ests of this city. As to Fernando Wood, it is well known that he never failed to manifest sympathy for the South in all his votes, even if be did bave to immediately call on Old Abe or Secretary Chase and prove to them that his vote would belp the republican party; whilst Chanler was never .able to decide him- self how he should vote, and relied upon Wood to tell him, thus becoming a complete tool of Fernando. Brooks was.too busy looking after the dirty linen of the Cabinet to occupy himeelf with anything one way or the other. Herrick always lost bis way among the halls and side rooms of the Capitol, and no could tell where hestood, They were all entirely useless as far as this city was concerned, neither comprebending the position of New York and its identity of interests with every section of the Union nor its importance as the commer- cial and Gnaueial centre of the country. The people of this city are sic: and tired of being represented by such men in the halls of the national legislature. They want no eecesh sympathizers; nor do they want any -of the abolition disunionists; for they are just as great a disgrace. Their doctrines lead to the same result, namely, the division of the country and a destruction of the industrial and commer- cial iaterests which feed and support this great metropolis. Tammany Hall now is ina position to relieve us from any such’ disaster in the futare. The people are looking: to that organizition to prevent either of those classes misrepreseyting them again. Tammany being now the recoguized representative of the democ- racy of the city, standing on a war and Union platfarm, rallying its ‘orces around the name of MoCielHao— who, every person admits, will carry this city by an unprecedented majority—it holds the key to the situation, and cin redeem the city if its managers fearlessly do their duty. They must repudiate in toto all connection with such rebel sympathizers as the Woods, Chanler, Guuther, McKeon and the balance of the secesh crew of the outside organizations, as well as the disunioa aboli- tioaiste on the other side. They must throw overboard all those men who bave proven false in the present delegation, and select men whose character, ability and known Union sentiments will be a guarantee that they will truly aod faithfully represent this city, with all its ia- terests. There is no reason why the members from this city should not be the leading men and the guiding minds ‘n our national legiela- ture. This city has more at stake than any other section of the country, and, with good men in Congress, her voice will be all potent at Washington, as It should be. What are the managers of Tammany doing to secure this result? Upon them rests the responsibility. Will they, at the nominating convention to be held this week, take to their embrace the Woods, Chanlers and Gunthers, or reject them, and show that they appreciate the trusts im- posed upon them; or will they take those semi- seceasioniets to their embrace, to the disgrace of themselves and the city? We wait for a re- ply from the convention. Upon that rests the condition of the support of our citizens of the Tammany Congressional ticket. Suppression or Newsrarers.—We see that the government has not yet learned the folly of its policy of suppressing newspapers. We learn that a paper called the Evening Post has just been suppressed in Baltimore, by order of Gen. Wallace, for placarding somothing on its bul- letin board. Recently another journal was shut up out West by military authority. Noth- ing could be more absurd than such a course. It only gives notoriety to obscare things, and does no possible good tothe government. We have some experience in newspapers; but we never heard of the Baltimore Kvening Post be- fore, and perhaps nobody else evér heard of the obecure Western paper. This policy origi- nated with Mr. Seward, who suppressed some papers and arrested some editors that people knew little or nothing about; and it is only emall men, “ dressed in a little brief authority,” like Seward and Burnside and Wallace, who would adopt such small measures. Mr. Lin- coin should put a stop to them, if he does not want to damage his chance of re-election. Just now he bas as good a chance as his rival, or any one else, considering the circumstances; but-he must not permit his subordinates te do such foolish things if he desires te stand well with the pablic. Is te How. Ben Woon a Tarsonasim Con: spmagor According to the testimony of Wil- liam Clayton, a witness for the government in the trial out West of certain conspirators known as the American Knights and Sons of Liberty, one of these men, named P, C. Wright, from Louisiana or Mississippi, is now the editor of the New York News, and the News is the especial organ of the Order of the Sons of Lib- erty. Now, when it is known that this order is a secret revolutionary organisation, the object of which js a Northern insurrection im support of Jeff. Davis, the employment of a Southern member of this order upon any Northern jour- pal becomes a naked question of treasen te all concerned. If this aforesaid Williem Clay- ton’s aworn testimony may be accepted as true, the Hon. Ben Wood, as peace man, ie little better than a traitorous imposter.
