The communications published in to-day's an encouraging character, From Oswego we learn that there is a general disarrangement _.No. 308 | Of business in that locality; that some fail- ures have taken place; that there has been reduction of operatives in the large houses, and that great suffering in the approaching winter is anticipated in consequence. In Philadelphia, we are told, thirty-two thou- sand workingmen are thrown out of employ- ment, while business generally is paralyzed and it is uncertain where the trouble may stop. At Hornellsville the factories have already plactd their hands upon one-quarter time, with a reduction of wages, and the stringency is so severely felt that still further trouble may be anticipated. In Pittsburg and Altoona a reduction of the force of all the principal factories has been made, employment. Much distress is reported to prevail in Alabama, and the South generally is known to be suffering severely from the effects of the recent stringency. From Rhode Island the report is no more encouraging, and the winter sets with every prospect of a hard time for the poor man all over the United States. In New York we already see that much suffer- ing exists, and this will no doubt be aggra- vated as the season adyances. We are likely to have many thousands of men lying idle, unable to earn a subsistence for their families, and relying upon public charity for their sup- port. If charity should fail them, as it too frequently does, they will be driven to crime, and hence we are likely to find the criminal records, as well as the pauper records, increase largely during the early months of the ap- proaching winter. These are stern facts, and we are bound to look them squarely in the face. We cannot drive off the inevitable distress that must fol- low in the wake of the recent financial disas- ters by simply closing our eyes and refusing to see it. When our financial. troubles first commenced with the explosion of some of the most impudent of the buchu banking bubbles and the suspension of some of the most pre- tentious of the buchu operators we did our best to confine the panic to the class with which it originated and which was the most directly responsible for its occur- rence, But the spirit which had given success to these charlatans had, unfor- tunately, spread into our more legitimate business circles, and it soon became evident that the mischief could not be confined within such circumscribed limits. The passion for large and rapidly accumulated fortunes which grew out of the corruptions of the war times had rendered our merchants and mannfac- turers discontented with the steady profits of a legitimate business and had induced them to rush madly on in the career of debt and speculation. Houses which had been re- garded as among the firmest and steadiest in the world fell to pieces, and now we see factory after factory closing its doors or cutting down its force, and the stillness of death falls upon much of that machinery whose din is the sweet voice of hope to thousands of families in every section | living more money than they could hope to stereopticon ; at the Brooklyn Branch office of the Hxratp, corner Fulton avenue and Boerum street, and at the Herap Branch office at Whitestone, L. I. The despatches will be forwarded instantly on their arrival, the arrangements obviating any delay in their transmission or publication. By these means the public will be enabled ‘to learn the figures of the city vote as fast as they are reported at Police Headquarters, and to reach the result in this and other States as éarly as the telegraphed information reaches us. ‘Tmmrr-two Tuovsanp Mex Unumproyep is of the Union. As the financial trouble has spread beyond the purely speculative circles into the legitimate business of the country it would be as reprehensible now to ignore its reality as it would have been reprehensible before to aid in its extension. We cannot avert disaster by persuading ourselves and en- deavoring to persuade others that it does not exist. We might to-day assert that the failures of the Spragues is only a tem- porary calamity; that the difficulties of the Claflins can be easily overcome ; that the stoppage of manufactories in this State, in Illinois, in Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, is a mere bagatelle ; but the keen frost of winter will soon be upon us, and freezing, starving thousands would soon give our words the lic. We must prepare ourselves for want among a large portion of our population; probably for hard times and privations more or less severe for a much larger class. These are penalties which we shall be called upon to pay for the sins of avarice, pride and false- hood. We have been living beyond our means, claiming for ourselves a wealth we have not possessed, and seeking to impose upon the world by false pretences. Many of our merchant princes, as they have delighted to be called, have been as arrant frauds as our buchu bankers, our buchu stock-jobbers and our buchu railroad kings. They have been trading upon ficti- tious capital, and while plunging madly into | debt have been swallowing up in extravagant realize out of the largest profits. It was as inevitable that an end shonld come to all this false show as that the counterfeiter or forger should at last be detected in his crimes. A sound and wholesome credit is the soul of business. No country could be great and prosperous without it. If we were to cripple trade to actual capital we should destroy the commerce of the world. But credit, to be safe and legitimate, must bear a fair proportion to capital and be confined to its proper channels. When the manufac- turer rushes to savings banks that are sup- ported mainly by his employés for millions of accommodation; when the merchant kites among the money-lenders for loans and for charity, we may be sure that credit is abused and that there is rottenness at the founda- tion. If we now find ourselves driven to these straits it is only because the recklessness and prodigality which have made buchu banking a temporary, although hollow suecess; which have kept afloat the specula- tive bubbles of Wall street, and which have spread corruption through our whole political system, have extended to the business circles of the country ond tarnished the hitherto fair reputation of our mer- cantile community. As it was necessary that the buchu banks should go into | insolvency; that the buchu railroad projectors should come to grief; that the buchu stock- jobbers should find their secret works ex- posed, so it is necessary that the buchu mer- chants and manufacturers should close their | & sad report from Philadelphia. Pittsburg Feports thousands of hands idle, and in both Places great distress is anticipated. The rail- roads in Pennsylvania are stopping all works and improvements. The outlook for the win- fer is most unpleasant in that direction, doors and disappear from the business world. | Their failures may occasion much temporary suffering, but the country will be the better and | ca make, many persons haye thus been thrown out of temporarily out of employment by suspensions while we admit that the crisis is full of peril, coming as it does on the eve of winter, and cause for serious alarm, if people will have courage and patience and will exercise a fair share of common sense. It is unquestionable that the effects of the financial disturbance will be more extended than many are disposed to believe, and hence the first lesson to be learned by thoae ot mod- erate means is the wisdom of a closer and more prudent style of living. Economy should be the order of the day, and in our recent American life economy may mean little more than a retrenchment which ‘will bring our living within our legitimate means. Charity should be more open-handed and more dis- creetly bestowed than ever; for the time may soon come when the most extended charity may be the wisest investment the wealthy Those who may be thrown and curtailments should exercise patience and carefully guard against .any indiscreet acts that can only add to their sufferings in theend. There is no cause of alarm for the future. Tho country is prosperous and grow- in | ing in prosperity year after year. Our prod- ucts command the markets of the world, and our national wealth increases with every acre of Western land that is settled ond with every ney, mipe that jg. worked. Our crops were never more abundant, and the demand for them was never greater than at the present time. What we need is a clearing up of our financial diffi- culties, a complete purification of our yusiness atmosphere, re epidemic bas prevailed among us for the past few Years, and we have given it the name of Buchuism. We have been living under its influence in an unhealthy, unnatural condition, and its evil effects are everywhere apparent. It has built our business palaces of magnificent exterior, but hollow and rotten within, and our princely dwellings filled with gilding, frescoing and falsehood. It has foisted into notoriety the charlatans and cheats of the financial world—the men who would rob widows and orphans under the garb of piety, or work the ruin of thousands for the mere love of rascality. Now that the storm has come the air will be purer from its effects, the more so since it has swept away the weeds of mushroom growth that have so long choked the legitimate business of the country. When it has passéd we shall have a better condition of affairs every- where, a more healthful credit, a more le- gitimate ‘trade, more honesty, fairness and solidity in all our commercial relations. The trial may be and doubtless will be severe, but it will bring its recompense in greater con- fidence among men and more sincerity in our lives and in our business transactions, An October Cyclone—A Herald Warn- ing Voerified. On the 8th day of October last, in a Henatp editoral on “The Equinoctial Storms on the Atlantic Coast,"’ the following warning was given to outgoing sailing vessels and steamers from New York in reference to the cyclone which, on the line of the Gulf Stream, swept by the coast of Florida the day before: — Although we have escaped the usually severe Equinoctial storms this year, the phenomenon has not been wanting in the atmospheric disturbances of the two days past, and, perhaps, also, in the great storms of the last of August it was present prematurely. The storm warnings which were displayed at most of the Atlantic ports yesterday were doubtless tully justitied by dangerous winds, felt especially sume distance off the immediate coast, Sailing vessels and steamers leaving New York to-day will do well to keep a sharp lookout, lest, after leaving Sandy Hook, they should come up with the Florida cyclone of yesterday morning. A passenger by the steamer Russia, which left this port for Liverpool on the morning of the 8th of October, in writing home an account of his trip, says :—‘‘After passing Sandy Hook we began to feel the ground- swell, which, owing to the late high winds, was very rough, and by the time we passed Long Island we were plunging along at a fear- ful rate. Ere morning the storm was upon us, and for three days we were in it—a regular cyclone. We lost our jib, foresail, foretopsail and mainsail, and shipped sea after sea over our bulwarks. One sea broke over them as one of the stewards was coming out on the deck, and, rushing through the open door and down the stairs, it flooded my room with about two inches of water. As the vessel would plunge in some huge wave, and the whole bow, and aft almost to the fore rigging would be covered by the rushing waters, it was grand; but it was rather un- comfortable at meals, as it necessitated the holding of everything in our hands, soup plates, &c., &c. But, like all things, it came to an end, and now (October 15) we are bowling along at the rate of fourteen knots an hour towards our destination, with the sun shining brightly and the air as mild and balmy as in May.” We submit this testimony from a passenger by the Russia as a remarkable verification of our warning of said cyclone published on the morning ot the steamer’s departure from this port. The Case of the Eighth Jaror, A very serious charge has been pre- ferred against Mr. Center, one of the jurors in the last trial of Stokes, a member of that jury which has earned for itself a reputation rather peculiar than flattering. It appears from the evidence in the hands of the District Attorney that this particular juror, at the hour he was supposed to be in bed, dreaming of the time when a case of life or death should be unreservedly committed to his hands and those of his com- panions, was on a tour through the slums of the metropolis, expressing publicly, with unu- sual frankness, his individual opinion of the merits of the prisoner. The case is a very serions one, involving grave ques- tions regarding the duties of jurors. Of course no definite opinion can be expressed of the culpability of Mr. Center until the grave charge against him is disposed of by due process of law; but it must be regarded as a terrible disgrace to the metropolis of America that there should be any grounds for such an accusation. It gives a significance which can- not be overlooked to the assertion that human life is a marketable commodity in this city, for the trial after the first evil effects shall have passed away. While we have no disposition to conceal the ond that murder is a luxury in which the wealthy may indulge with impunity. Every Tight thinking citizen will hope that the Dis- trict Attorney will do his duty in this instance subject of such vital interest. ‘This Day's Elections im Twelve States—Thunder All Round the Sky.” The Empire State in this day's elec- tions will be attended by Massachusetts, New Jorsey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min- nesota, Kansas, Maryland, Virginia, Mis- aissippi, Arkansas and Texas—a goodly procession of twelve States, republi- can, democratio and conservative. How these elections are going in most of the States concerned no man can accurately fore- tell; how they have gone we shall, doubtless, be able to report to our readers to-morrow morning. In New York city parties, factions and cliques are so inexplicably mixed up, there are so many wheels within whoels, so many combinations and complications upon local tickets and candidates, that it would be a waste of time to no purpose to attempt to unravel them. The results may be somewhat surprising to some of the most hope- fal politicians; but, whatever they may be, we . trust that the good cause of “city reform” will not be laid under the table or postponed till the next election. Upon the State ticket the republicans are con- fident and the democrats are hopeful ; and a probable deficiency in the popular vote of any figure from ong hundred and fifty thousand to, ‘two hundred thousand makes the issue somo- what doubtful, notwithstanding the republican margin of their fifty-five thousand majority of last year. The contest for the Legislature is marked by some cross-firing and by various party defections, especially for the Senate ; Dut the probabilities, Wwpom the whole, are in favor of a better Legislature than that chosen in November last, and for one more closely divided in each house between the two great parties, The republicans appear to have given up New Jersey in advance of the battle. They have such a decisive majority to overcome in Maryland that they have evidently made no effort even to diminish it; whilein Virginia, their unlucky nomination for Governor on the one hand, and the gen- eral activity nd confidence on _ the other side, render it morally certain that the conservatives will, by a decisive majority, recover the State. In Mississippi there isa split among the republican forces which causes some alarm in the regular party camp, and there has just been an extra session of the State Legislature in reference to the constitution- ality of this election, and the controversy, though ending in favor of the election, has considerably demoralized all the parties con- cerned. The results in Mississippi, therefore, are very uncertain, though the result upon a square division on party lines would be a large majority on the republican ticket, on account of the heavy black vote of the State. Texas, on all sides, is conceded to the dem- ocrats, being one of the half dozen democratic States which adhered to the party’s Presiden- tial ticket of 1872, when all the others rejected it. Arkansas, from the family feuds among the republicans, carried at one time during the last summer to the verge of civil war, is still in a very chaotic condition, politically con- sidered, and we shall not be surprised, what- ever the results may be in that quarter, repub- lican or democratic, peace or war. In Illinois party landmarks have been broken down, and the grangers apparently hold the balance of power. In Wisconsin and *Minnesota these grangers, too, joined by the democrats, are reported as making consider- able headway, although the republicans have likewise tuned their instruments to the bucolic music of the grangers. On both sides in the great Northwest the political candi- date whose rough coat is most thoroughly sprinkled with chaff or hay seed, is regarded as most likely to command the suffrages of the people ; but woe to the candidate sprinkled with hay seed who opens fire on the stump with the apology that, ‘I have not the power to be a practical farmer, but nevertheless I re- gard the honest yeomanry as the life and hope of the country ;"’ for the grangers are down upon that pretender as upon a wolf in sheep's clothing. We may have some curious develop- ments in the elections of Wisconsin and Min- nesota, Finally, there is old Massachusetts, which, no doubt, will go the old way without flinch- ing, after having safely passed and happily survived the great agony of her late conflict, ending in her joyful deliverance from Gen- eral Butler. Since that happy day Plymouth Rock has remained quiet and firmly anchored, and the ‘good old Bay State,’’ relieved of her fears of General Butler and his ‘‘contrabands” of all kinds, including New England rum, has been calmly awaiting the day for the re- election of Washburn. To sum up—in re- viewing the whole field of these November elections and those of October last, it is evi- dent that old party lines are disappearing, and that new party elements are in process of formation which may wield a powerful influ- ence in the elections of next year for a new Congress, especially should there be a length- ened continuance of this financial pressure upon the masses of the people. Tue Frencu Srrvation is one at present of silent anxiety. To-morrow the Assembly meets and the battle between monarchists and republicans will begin. It is no longer a mat- ter of doubt how President MacMahon stands on the great question of the hour. In another portion of the Heratp his determinations are stated on what is given as good authority. He has no sympathy with the republicans; but, while evidently favoring the election of Chambord as king, he does not wish to act as the monarchical stop-gap. If these were his views a fortnight since it is possible that, in the interval, he will have acknowledged the pressure from both sides, which would keep him where he is. He may thus consent to be a stop-gap a little longer. | A Lrrriz Historic Recottectioy.—‘'The inlstand used by General Jackgon at the bat- tle of New Orleans” is said to be in the posses- sion of a gentleman in Nashville. It has been generally supposed that cotton bales had more to do with the battle of New Orleans than ink- stands. A great deal of ink, however, was subsequently shed on the subject, after Jack- son was censured for his conduct on the occa- sion, and which led to the great ‘‘expunging” movement of old Bullion Benton in the United States Senate.

RTE Italian Opera—“Ernani.” Verdi's highly dramatic work drew a large house to the Academy last night, being the occasion of its last representation this season. The most notable feature in the cast was, as before, the Carlo Quinto of Maurel, a most finished, artistic and effective impersonation ofa dimicult role, Nothing could exceed the majesty and effect of the address of the King to the shade of his great ancestor, “0 sommo Carlo,” which ushers in at the conclusion of the third act the grand ensemble, “A Carlo Quinto sia gloria ed onor.” This, with the cele- brated quintet in the first act, gave @ very favor- able idea of the completeness of the ensemble of the Strakosch company. Mile. Torriani madej a stronger impression than before in the role of Elvira, and Campanini added to his laurels ef @ fine, spirited rendering of the music of the tile role, Nannetti was @ grave, stately old hidalgo, and eats Don Ruy Gomez de Siiva with all the dignity due to such a role. The chorus was admirable, and if Signor Muzio would only moderate the exuberance of his orchestra and not permit his German mu- sicians to drown the voices of soloists and chorus, nothing would have been left unfinished in the representation. ‘Martha’ will be repeated on Wednesday, and on Friday evening “Les Hugue- nots” will be represented for the first time by this admirable company. A grand sacred concert will be given at Wallack’s on Sunday next by the principal artists of this troupe. BRS ’ Booth’s Theatre. The reappearance of Edwin Booth at this house last night, marking the inauguration o/ the winter season, will long be remembered by the spectators present as distinguished by a popular reception of the actor only accorded to an esteemed favorite after @ long absence, and by an old and familiar performance which was throughout welcomea with all the enthusiasm of a new sensation and a pleasant surprise. There was a full house, and the generous spirit of the audience was that ofa Cordial welcome to Booth and to “Hamlet”, and to Booth as Hamlet. From the first act to the last, at every salient point in the play, there was manifestation of fresh and hearty applause, and at the close of each act our Wepniae. Hamlet was recalled before the curtain, ith his house and his reception Mr. Booth had every reason to be highly gy With tho magnificent mounting and e completeness of the accessories of ‘Hamlet’ and of ail other plays Rien at this house our playgoers are familiar, in the general cast of the characters of ‘Hamlet,’ as reproduced, it is perhaps suM@cient to say that there are lew calling for any severe objectfons and none entitled to any distinguishing praise.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 3, 1873. The First National Bank and Jay Cooke & Co. The creditors of the First National Bank, of this city, of which Henry D. Cooke was president, as well as the creditors of the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., of which Henry D. Cooke was a mem- ber, were very much surprised to-day to learn that within two weeks past the indebtedness of the First National Bank to the government, amounting to nearly $300,000, had been further protected by the addition of $200,000 in government bonds, The statement of the First National Bank @ week before it failed was that the government deposits were only $95,000, for which 100,000 in currency sixes were pledged for its security, Um the 18th of September the house of Jay Cooke & Co, suspended, followed by the suspension of the First National Bank, a8 @ consequence of the exe cessive draits made by the private banking house of the Cookes. There has been a suspicion for some time that the Coukes were using the private assets to protect the government. It is said in oMcial circles that this is no longera matter of doubt, and the creditors of Jay Cooke & Co. are determined to arrest further frittering away of the assets of the firm. The Secretary of the Treasury adiuits that the government deposit is secured dollar for dollar, and that, he says, ig all he has te look after, The creditors will at once allege a total disregard of the banking law and ask for an immediate investigation under the Bankruptcy act. The Estimates for the Civil Establish- mont of the government to be submitted to Congress this year exceed those of last year between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000.

The Director of the Mint received certain charges against the Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint about two weeks ago, and took prompt measures for their investigation. The charges against the Superintendent were made by officers of the Mint who had been displaced, and it does not appear so far that they are of so serious & character as has been represented. s Kickapoos, Potawatamies and Modocs. General Sheridan telegraphs to General Sher- man that the Kickapoos and Potawatamies, now en route irom Mexico to the Indian Territory, have arrived at Fort Concho, Texas, in good condi- tion, He also telegraphs that the Modocs have arrived and were put into camp on Boody’s Isiand, near Fort McPherson, The principal man of the Utes was Ouray, the only one of the Indians in ctifizen’s dress, all the others on both sides wearing the most elaborate of savage cos- tumes. Commissioner Smith represented to the Indians the great importance of establishing friendly relations, and assured them, whether they did or not, if they left their reservations they would be punished. He told the Cheyennes and Arapahoes that the Utes are with our govern- ment, which 1s bound to protect them at all times, and that the government is determined that fignt- ing between Indian tribes must cease and that it cannot, continue much longer. Powder Face, of the Arapahoes, said he had, from his early youth, thought it right to war upon the Utes, and had never failed to kill one of that tribe when he could, but in later years his mind had been changed, He was not unwilling there shonld be peace betweem the tribes. The Commissioner suggested that the reliminaries of a peace movement be establishea by the Indians in council shaking hands with one another. Ouray, speaking for the Utes, said t! thought it best to make peace as a whole; that though these men may be friendly the tribes generally may not feel that way. was somewhat afraid thé enemies of the Utes spoke with two tongues. The Indian Com- missioner said it was only necessary now that they make peace as individu: and not as representa- tives of their tribes, After a rather serious con- sultation by the chiefs of the separate tribes, Ouray and Powder Face advanced into the middie ofthe room and shook hands very formally and with no expression of satisiaction. Afterwards there was a general, though not toall appear- ances very cordial handshaking. wider Face said the Great Spirit was looking down and he would say whether this was all right or not. Ouray respouded that time would tell. Stone Calf, of the Cheyennes, demurred at first, but afterwards hove the others and shook hands with the Utes, his squaw following him in the cere- mony. This incident produced some merriment as the Utes seemed very happy in. reciprocatti her courtesy. At the termination of the council i was proposed to the Indians to go to their hotel im the same coach, but the Utes objected on the round that they could not understand each other’s language, so they returned to their quarters by diferent rou‘es. During the council an effort was made to recognize @ young man among the Arra- pahoes who had been captured by them when ace young, asason of Ouraly, but the proof was not Sullicient for that people, The young warrior was very sullen in bis intercourse with the Utes, and refused to aid thom in obtaining a clue to his identity. At last Ouraly decided that he was not his son, as if he were he would meet the pat and friendly overtures very differently.
