MOVING MOUNTAINS. The Volcanic Chain of Western North Carolina. ‘General Clingman’s Interesting Recollections. The Volcanic Disturbances Older Than the Oldest Inhabitant. The possibility of a new issue of inconvertidte paper I regard with amazement dnd anciety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- | ment and a shame,—CHARLES SUMNER, WASHINGTON, March 27, 1874. ™ a conversation with General Clingman this evening your correspondent, in calling Lis atten- tion to the recent quakings of the so-called Bald Mountain and Stone Mountain, in Western North Carolina, asked his opinion concerning these re- markable volcanic perturbations. “You are one | of ihe oldest residents of that picturesque Appala- chian section of North Carolina, General; you have thoroughly explored it; the highest peak of the Biack Mountains is called Clingman’s Dome; you know all that is known of that vast mass of moun- tains of numerous ranges, and thereiore, you are the expert desired to tell us the meaning of these Starting perturpations in those mountains—these premonitory symptoms of an impending earth- quake on a grand scale, including the opening of Seams in the mountatn sides and the escape there- from of gas and smoke.” General Clingman replied that “the volcanic dis- turbances in those mountains of Western North Carolina, which are now making such @ great sD- “ sation, are no new thing—that they can be traced back to the remotest traditions of the Cherokee Indians, and thence, by scientific research, to the volcanic upheavals from which these mountains | were formed. In the northeastern corner of Hay- wood county, near Fines’ Creek, forty miles north- West of Stone Mountain, which has been subjected to periodical shakings, after intervals of two or three years, ever since the war of 1812, and for how long a period before I | cannot teli, The immediate locality of these dis- turbances is abont a mile in length and a quarter | ofa mile in width. The shocks under this moun- tain have not been, within my recoljection, of a longer duration than a few minutes; and yet with each recurrence, after an interval ol rest of two or three years, the shocks have been sufficiently powerlul to break up the mountain, as one may say, Into new fissures, hillocks, upheavals and cavities, $0 far as to chauge its general appears ance.” “and you have noticed these phenomena, from time to time, through a period of many years 1”? “On, yes! I think if you will look over the files of the old National Intelligencer of about twenty-five years ago you will find a pretty fatl description which I gave of these volcanic disturbances at that time. I remember that | avout twenty-five years ago, in the edge of Macon | county, southwest from Haywood, there was a | shock Which opened a seam in the ground for | nearly a mile in length; and that in Madison county, in a line between Haywood and Stone Mcun- tain, smoke issued irom a fissure opened in the rocks, Tuis Wag some two miles trom the French | Broad River and in the ueighborhood of the Warm Springs, Madtson county, I have known | the solid granite clits of Haywood Moun- | tain to be fractured by voicanic action | for nearly @ mile in length, and in} one instance, I have seen a detached granite rock Of perhaps 2,000 tons in weight which, lying above one of these earthquake fissures, was broken into three fragments. jut one Of the most remarkable freaks of these little earthquakes was that which Spilta large tree, bringing one-half of it to the ‘ound, and jeaving the other half standing. I ave no doubt that the newspaper men detalied to Jook into there mysteries, will gather many inter- esting reminiscences from the old settlers of those ‘Western mountain counties of the old North State, touching the perioaical recurrence of these re- Markabie little earthquakes. | have often won- dered that the attention, of men of science had | never been drawn to these interesting voicanic | disturbances in our North Carolina mountains.”” “But do you think ped mean nothing more on this return than the usual periodical spasms, grad- wally dying out with the continued cooling and thickening Ot the earth’s crust?’ ‘The General thought this a matter of doubtful speculation. Aiter warnings in premonitory trembiings of the ground, tuere may be a@ dis-. astrous earthquake, or a volcanic eruption, as these things occur in Mexico and Central America; or these spasms as heretolore, from time to time, may pass offas anine days’ wonder. But those mountains, the culminating mass of the Alleghany system, were uplified by forces which are still | throbbing under their ioundations and shakiog them to their summits. ‘here are thirty peaks on these mountains of Western North Carolina from the Smoky Kange to the Biue Ridge which are higher than Mount Washington; and from the toy rocks thrown up in these oid ranges, and | om the great variety of minerals brought’ out | from the bowels of the carth into the sides and chasms of these mountains, we know that the sub- terranean iorces irom which those mountains were formed operated here more powerlully than atany other point on the Atlantic side of our continent; and we may conclude, irom these frequent dis- turbances, that these tremendous iorces are not yet under those mountains reduced pelow the capacity for a disastrous convulsion. The possibility af a new issue af inconvertivle paper I regard with amazement and anciety, and, | in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER. Testimony Taken by Prof. DuPre, of Wofford (N. C.) College—He Is to Pre- pare a Report of His Observations—Is the Commotion Caused by Electric Currents? The North Carolina papers are filled with de- scriptions of the tremor that affects Bald Moun- tain, which has been described by the special cor- respondent of the HERALD, The following addi- | tionai facts have appeared in the Orphans’ Friend, published at Spartansburg. A synopsis of the testimony taken by Professor DuPre is as tol- lows:— TESTIMONY OF MR. JOHNSON ELLIOTT. First sound heard Tuesday, the loth of February. | ‘The first sound was jollowed by the severest shock felt up to the present time, and wasieit as far | as White House, on Cane Creek, eight miles east. On Sunday morning, 16th, severe shock; another @bout ten A. M,; another two o'clock at might, (Monday morning.) The house seemed to be lifted from its foundation and | rocking in the — air. Noise continued, some with shocks and some without, until Thurs- @ay following, with intervals of about an hour, Several noises with shocks on Thursday; noise ap. peared to proceed jfrom Round and Stone moun- tains. These mountains are about half mile apart. Houses were irequently shaken, and a ladger lean- ing against the house (of Mr.Elliott) shook consider- ably on one occasion. The families on Stone Moun- tain were greatly alarmed, The noise begins, like the explosion of a blast, in the northwest, ana then goes Off to southeast, with a rumbling ooise under grou: ind. ‘TRSTIMONY OF MR, JAMES SMITH, ON STONE MOUN- TAIN. Feit the first shock and heard the noise on 10th February; saw the trees vibrate, and observed a tremulous motion of the leaves, A colored man also testified to tue same. ‘TESTIMONY OF MRS. NANNEY, who lives about half a mile from base of Stone Mountain, Heard the noise and felt the shock fre- quently; said she was not scared, but felt very curtous when the house would shake; was in the hand of the good Lord who would take care of her; itt was His Will that she sould be swallowed by an earthquake she was willing to go that way; her chimney aad faiien down, batshe dia not think it Was caused by the shock, as#he felt none at the time, TRSTIMONY OF MR, T. J. DALTON. Live one and a half miles west; heard the re- ports or noises several times in the last four weeks ; felt the ground shake and quiver six times; work at sawmill; had some piank on my shoulder and felt it shake several times; noise begins with @ blast and rumbles and appears to come from Stone Mountain and under ground; deel the shocks almost as soon as 1 hear the sound; saw the shavings op my workbench shake daring one oi the shocks; no wind at the time; said bo saw the trees shake; works at Mrs. Murptiy'e 8aw- mill, on Broad River, on eastern side of Hickory Nut Gap and eight miles from head of Broad Haver; heard as many as four explosions a day and two or three at night; nights clear and cools the same has been heard and felt at J, W. Mor- gan’s, one anda half miles from here, OTHER TESTIMONY, Mr. Gilliam, one and a half miles below Mor- phy’s, testified that he heard tne noise and felt the shocks several times east (i. 4, in the direction of Stone Mountain); ti shook the daubing trom his chimney; Mr. Guliam ts about sixty-dve years old, Mra. Ledbetter, three miles southwest of Stone Mougtain, heard nowes and feit several shocks coming from West side of Stone Mountain oa the 10th of February. The correspondent of the Orphans’ Friend ro- marks ;— there is a mountain | Fated the statements recorded, but we do not deem it necessary to continue the evidence fur- ther, as the witnesses brought forward are suf- cient to establish all the facts connected with the phenomenon in the vicinity of the mountains Whence the noise appears to proceed. ‘There 18 one lact Worthy of notice, and that 1s, while the noise is heard for many miles from the base of the mountain the shock is only fe)t on the mountain and @ short distance trom the base. ‘This feature locates the cause of the explosion and the shaking beneath the mountain, and aifords | some ground for believing that It 18 caused by vol- canic action, The shaking is only felt between | Broad ana Catawba rivers, along the mountain range, a distance of about twenty-five miles, We have discovered no volcanic rocks, or seen anything indicating that @ volcano ever existed in this section, Volcanoes are usually found near the sea, and generally face the deepest oceans and seas. ‘There 1a One exception to this general rule, the pame of which We have Iorgotten, WHAT OCCASIONS THE EXPLOSIONS, Is it possible that the crust of the eurth has he- come so thin that a stream of water has found its wuy to the burning mass, and the escape of tue | steam thus generated into the caverns of the earth prodnoea the noise heard upon the surface? Or is it the result of accusnulated gases, acting in the same manne:? We will not venture an opin- jon upon the subject, but having given the facts as we gathered them, Jeave every one to come to his own conclusion, Some observations were taken with the compass as follows ;— From Ellott’s, Round Mountain is north 37 de- grees west; Stope Mountain is south 73 degrees west. From Stone Mountain, highest peak, Table Rock is north 35% degrees east; Black Mountain, north 6% degrees west; Grandfather, north 274 degrees east; Hickory Nut Gap, at Sherreil’s, south 77 de- grees west; Sager Loai, south 13 degrees west. Professor DuPre has promised us an article from a scientific standpoint, which we know will prove very interesting to our readers, The possidility of a new issue of inconvertible paper I regard with amazement and anxiety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detri- ment and @ shame,—CHARLES SUMNER, Theory That the Rumbling Is Caused by Currents of Electricity. [From the Oxford (N. C.) Herald.) A gentleman of scientific attainments, who bas been paying some attention to the newspaper accounts about Bald Mountain and tts recent 1's of eccentricity, suggests the idea that the noise and vibrations, which have caused such consterne- tion among the unsophisticated mountaineers, may have been produced by subterranean currents of electricity mstead of volcanic fires, This Hypothesis is strengthened by a consid tion of the fact tiat there are to be found no traces | of extinct volcanoes in the region of Bald Moun- tain, nor has it been threatened with a volcano wittin the memory of the oldest inhabitant, On the other hand it is well known that this re- gion abounds in veins of tron and other metals, which, by some chemical change or otherwise have obstructed Currents of electricity {n their hitherto. regular passage, and thus produced these convul- sions, We hope the savans, while they are investigating the subject, will take this theory under cousidera- tion, THE OCEAN BANK CASE. on Trial of Callender—The Jury Locked Up for Thirty Hours and are Discharged— Sunday in the United States Circuit Court. It will be seen from the proceedings reported below that the jury in the case of Charles Callen der spent the whole of Saturday night locked up in a room in the United States Court, No, 27 Cham- bers street, without being able to agree to a ver- dict, and that on yesterday they were sent back on three occasions by the Judge to continue their deliberations. The defendant, as we have already stated, was indicted for having accepted a bribe city, to influence his official action as bank ex- aminer, The tral, which is one of considerable -fiterest to the banking and mercantile community of this city, has lasted thirteen days, Yesterday morning, about haif-past ten o’clock, Judge Benedict entered the court room, and the jury, who had been locked up all night, were called in, They stated that they were unable to agree, and were about asking the Judge for some direction when Judge Benedict said as counsel, both for the government and the defendant, were absent, he could not now give them any direction. quested them to retire again, stating that he would return at three o’clock. The jury retired. At twenty minutes past three Judge Benedict took his seat on the bench and said—“From your statement that itis impossible for you to agree I appreciate the anxiety which you feel to be dis- charged. Itjs nota pleasant duty to keep you together; but; the importance of the case, the condition in which tne evidence stands, and the sharpness of the issne are such as can be com- prehended, and make it my duty to remand you to a lurther consideration of the matter. If this were @ civil case, I would have no hesitation. has been great trouble and expense in presenting to you the evidence on both sides, That evidence is Such as to bring an issue before you, and I am satisfied that you can comprehend what it 1s proper for you to decide, Having that opinion, it is my duty to remand you to the custody of the officer and you wii resume your deliberations, If you have any question to put, or any direction to ask, you can do it now in the presence of counsel.” A Juror—It ts impossible for the jury to agree. Judge Benedict—I feel it my duty, notwithstand- ing the opinion of the juryman, to remand the jury to the custody of the efficer, because of the posi- tion of the case and the clearness of the issue. It 18 proper that the jury should decide this case, 80 that the parties May not again be put to the expense of anotuer trial by another jury. I regret it, but my duty obliges me, A juryman on the back row sald something about “humanity” that did not reach the reporters in an intelligible manner, and added :—“If we give @ Verdict it will be contrary to our feelings.” Judge Benedict—I am satisfied that the clearness of the issue and the evidence are such that, if the jurymen give that evidence the attention it de- ‘serves as bearing on the case, it will be brought to @ result satisiactory to the parties, A Juryman—Will your Honor wait half an hour for us? Judge Benedict—I will. As the jury were retiring, looking very inuch fatigued and haggard, one of them said:—“We have got so far that we do not like to argue the matter.”? In place of waiting half an honr, the Judge re- mained in his room nearly two hours, and at a quarter to six o’clock the jury again came into court. dudge Benedict said he had sent for them to re- move trom their minds an impression which prob; bly existed that hit were 40 conclude their delib- e erations before lefe the building. That was not so. He was now leaving the building, but if they agreed to-night an oft- cer could bring him @ message and be would come over and take their verdict, Lt had occurred to im Saas pened the offer made by counsel as to not summing up the case, but leaving it to his (the Judge’s) charge, might have created an im- pression in their own minds as vo the opinion he entertained tn the case. He did not treat that . Offer for the purpose of showing that be had or had not au impression in the case. lt was an offer made by counsel jor their own purpose. He should be glad to discharge them now, bat his duty for- bade it. He was satisfied that a proper considera- tion of the evidence would bring the jury toa proper conclusion, whichever way it was. This was most desiravle, so that there would be no necessity of commencing the trial again. Refresh- ments would be provided for them. Following the officer the jury again left Court for the third time to consider the case. They looked almost completely worn out, but said nothing, At twenty-five minutes past ten o’clock the jury again came into Court, and as they said there was no prospect of thelr agreement they were dis- charged. Its understood that ten were for con- viction and two for acquittal. The defendant was detained in custody, and to-day will probably be called upon to renew his bail. The possibility of a new tssue of inconvertidle paper I regard with amazement and anriety, and, in my judgment, such an tssue would be a detri- ment and a shamé,—CHARLES SUMNER. CAUSE CBLEBRE, Decision of the Corwin-Stillwell Trial in Indiana in Favor of the Plaintiff. ANDERSON, Ind., March 29, 1874. ‘The trial of the case in Madison County Circuit Court predicated upon the celebrated receipt for $14,500 in United States seven-thirty bonds made by Jacob U. and Thomas N, Stillwell to Allen Make- peace, December 28, 1865, and which figured so conspicuously in the CorWin-Stillwell trial bere la#t January, ended in favor of Mr. John BE. Cor- win for $14,500 and interest thereon since August 15, 1870, at Which time Makepiece received tne last interest. In oa 4 interrogations the jury further find that Allen Makepeace did deposit with the Stillwells United States seven-thirty bonds to the above amount for safe keeping, as stated in the receipt, and that the bonds were not returned by the Stillwells when demanded. ‘The suit has attracted a great deal of interest, there being nine attorneys retained by the Still- wells for defence, General Bea Harrison, of In- dianapolis, and the Hon.

James R, Osgood & Co., of Boston, have pub- lished, as part of their library of standard works of fiction, a novel by Mr. Grenville Murray, entitled “Young Brown.’ The title of the book is not a sugsestive one, but the book itself is a narrative of the very close relations of the Browns with the aristocracy. Since the appearance of Dr. Warren’s “Ten Thousand a Year” we have had no such ex- Position of the condition of the noble families of England. Warren’s book was unlike anything* that had gone before it, and if the author had not painted Tittlebat Titmouse as a very ridiculous person—intimating, of course, that ail mere linen draper's clerks are ridiculous persons—to throw the sympathies of his readers with the Audley branch of the Dredimgton family it would have been the most remarkable novel in | English literature. Titmouse was made to bear the disgrace as well as the discomforts of illegiti- macy, and our feelings are harrowed at the recital of the gentle and gentlemanly Charies Audley bemg deprived of £10,000 a year, that it might be Spent by the vulgar and baseborn son of a cobbler, Mr. Murray’s book has another purpose—namely, to show that the peers of the realm are often base- born themseives, and that half the titles in Eng- land would be in other hands if marriage was, 1n- deed, a sacrament, Young Brown was the son of Tom Brown, the hostler at the Checquers In, at Wdkefleld-in-the- Marsh, He was a seven months’ child and grew to bea very handsome lad. He looked like his mother, and she bore a very strong resemblance to the Duke of Courthope and Kevel, who was of about her own age. Tom Brown supposed he was Young Brown's father, but if the Duke of Court hope and Revel had been the son of his father’ Young Brown would have been the son ot his own sister. Young Brown’s mother, the hostler’s wile, was a real countess, entitled to a part at least.of the Duke's estates, while the Duke was not entitled to the rest. The former Duke had secretly married Margaret Brown, and Young Brown’s mother was the result of this mar- riage, but the acknowledged Duchess was child- | less, The law of entail made it desirable that the | Duchess should have a child, and the Countess of | Pencarrow, who had secretly married Lord Alfred | Wyldwyl, the Duke’s brother, and could not avow the marriage, because its acknowledgment in- volved the loss o! the Pencarrow estates, for which alone Lord Alfred bad married her, was about to have a child, which would be very much in the way. Lord Alfred died before the child was born, and at the Duke’s suggestion the Countess gave her child to the Duchess, and so in time this youngster came to be Duke of Courthope and Revel in place apparently of Lord George Wyldwyl, commander of Her Majesty’s forces in India, but in reality in the ptace of the Countess of Winguid, barmaid at Wakefeld and Tom Brown the hostler’s wife. This Duke se- cretly married the niece of an opera dancer and publicly espoused Lady Helena Cardwell, the daughter of the Marquis of Wencomen. By this marriage, which was in fact no marriage at all, there was born a son, who, a8 Marquis of Kinsgear, was as necessary to the Duke on account of the Jaw of entail as he had been to the former Duke, his supposed father, Young Brown, who was the weeks older, came to be born pretty much as New England was populated with musicians when the Dutch ruled in New York aud Anthony the Trum- peter visited Connecticut. The family name of the Dukes of Courthope and Revel was W3ldwyl, pronounced wivel, and tt will be perceived from the foregoing summary that Mr. Murray's novel is In fact a history of the Wyldwyl family, legitimate and illegitimate, lt is unnecessary to follow the fortunes of Young Brown, who enlists as a common soldier and is | sent to India, where he shows uncommon bravery | and is raised from the ranks, It will suffice to say that in the end Captain Brown married Miss Wyldwyl, the daughter of Lord George; that the Marquis of Kinsgear died before his father; that George Wyldwyl was the last Duke of Courthope and Revel, and that Ifis daughter, the wife of Cap- tain Brown, succeeded him as Countess of Win- guid. From all this it will be perceived that Mr. requiring abilities in working out his plot not less remark- able than the courage which would undertake and execute such a novel. If the book itself falls below the courage of its undertaking the Jault is evi- dently not in any lack of ability in the author, for every character is clearly drawn, and each chap- ter is as perfect as any one of ‘Tennyson's “Jayls of the King.” There is @ culture in the book, as weil as a truthfulness and vigor in the style, despite its cynicism, which has not been shown by any modern novelist except Thackeray. If Mr. Murray had given his novel the fulness and completeness of “Ten Thousand a Year” these merits would have con- tributed to make it the great book of the century. Unfortunately it seems cramped within the limits of its title, and while there is not a commonplace line in the book its title forces it upon the lists of commonplace. No student of English literature would suspect that in o novel called “Young Brown” he would find not only the germ, but what reads like part of a great book, on English society of the highest class. In this piecemeal history of the Wyldwyl family this novel, in which the author is justified of nis remark that “Wisdom is justified of her children,’’ we have laid before us all tbe can- kering sores of the aristocracy of England. Mr. Murray has bared for our vision a disregard for marital vows among the great families as vulgar as that of the bigamist tailor who | Tuns away with the cobbier’s daughter and finally forsakes her for @ Jigurante in tha ballet at Niblo’s or the Grand Opera House, He even goes further and shows us a peer of the realm—one who is every inch a duke—who got into the House of Lords bya trick as unworthy as that by which Mrs, Conningham sought to supply the murdered Dr. Burde!l with an heir. There is nothing commonplace, as we have already re- marked, in anything that he tells, and the only fault that we have to find with him or his book is | that he nas not told us more. At the same time we admit thatif the novelist had not invented a a family so completely typical of the entire Eng- lish aristocracy as the Wyldwylof his imagina- tion—a family whose history admitted of elabora- tion only less marvellous than the family itself— we should not complain at all. With a great talent for elaboration, ke seems to purposely refrain from its exercise, and instead of presenting nis Wyldwrl figares in a grand show piece, with all the music, scenery, effects and propertics complete, be turns them into mere puppets to dance and caper around , Young Brown, But the reader must not imagine that “Young Brown” is too meagre a novel to claim his atten- tion. It has stuff enough in it to have been the greatest book of the century, and, as it ts, it is the greatest book of. the day. It 1s worth a hundred such novels as ‘The Princess of Thule.’? Mr. Black’s novel begins with a remarkable chapter and then calmly sinks into the placia waters of commonplace, Mr. Murray is always freah and vigorous and true to nature, He is never sloveniy either in thought or diction. His outlines of char- acter, though mere sketches, walk and talk like human beings whom we mave met before and whom we may meet again. Madge Brown is drawn with exceptional delicacy. Dr. Porteous, though merely a sketch, is perfect. Tne young Marquis of Kinsgear 1s “a character hit.” Amabel Wyldwyi ts a picture of delicious girlishness; but we see too little of her, as we see too litve of many of the other characters in the book, Even the Duke 1s not developed beyond the necessities for giving the Browns their own in the fuiness of tune, The book 1s literally three volumes in one, and while we regret the absence of the other two we rejoice that the one contains the substance of ail three. It might a6 well have been a novel of soctety as @ novel about society; but, as it is, no reader of recent fiction can afford to pass “Young Brown” by without perusal. * Young Brown, By Grenville Murray, anthor of | that limit could uever be exceeded.

What Constitutes Values Now and What Are) the Possibilities of the Fu A GREAT DANGER.| The possibility af a new issue of inconvertible paper I regard with amazement and anziety, and, in my judgment, such an issue would be a detre ment and a shame.—CHARLES SUMNER. The real estate market, except in respect to agitation, has thus far failed to respond to the inflation measures of Congress in any increased strength. This ts @ healthy sign, as evidencing @ larger intelligence in the average real estate owner or purchaser than one would be at first sight disposed to give him creait for. For be it observed, without any disrespect. to the Janded proprietor, the owner of the soll, there is a large class who own real estate in this city who acquired such ownership not because they thought real estate the most profitable investment they could make, but because not having the understanding to judge of other in- vestments they put their money into real estate from anu instinct and a conviction that there, at least, there was something tangibie. ‘They telt Satisfied that REAL ESTATE COULD NOT RUN AWAY. But what is the appreciable difference between dumping @ cargo of carts and laborers upon & man’s vacant lot and carrying away his soil until you have reached the centre of the earth and Congress attempting to open upon the country a flood of irredeemable paper money, until no one knows what he is worth, and land cannot be sold decause there 1s no measure of value, If the pivotal point of determinate value be fixed at $400,000,000 this year, it may be placed at $500,000,000 next year, and $600,000,000 the year following, Business cannot be safely transacted in the face of such uncertainty, We hada limit of $356,000,000 of legal tenders, upon which the several values throughout the country rested, and largely do 80 rest to-day. Why displace it? It means chaos, because the confidence which rested upon that burden of $356,000,000 irredeemabie paper money Was based on the assumption that been broken down and now there is no limit, Can realestate hope to escape the consequences of such an act? Impossible. By its inertness it per- mitted it to be accomplished. Now it must share in the responsibility. We have exhibited to the world our inability to meet our national obliga- tions in good faith, or, failing in that, stand the consequences, Can we hope to commana respect after this,? Certainly not. Better, far BETTER BE BANKBUPT IN CREDIT THAN BANKBUPT IN HONOR, These are unpalatable reflections; they are worse, they are galling to the individual American’s sense Of principle; but facts are facts, and tn this nineteenth century we have learned not to shut our eyes to them, however distasteful they may be, and we may as well just here commence to recognize a few of them, as the sooucr we reach an understand. ing of them the better. If President Grant does | not interpose his veto between us and this pro- | posed deluge of inflation it ts as weil tobe pre- pared for the worst. The sapporters of the infla- tion scheme say Grant will not dare to veto it; but they underrate Grant who doubt that he has the capacity for heroic action, let the consequences be what they may. The man who was forced to re- sign from the army asa licutenant (ifthe story told in that connection be true) because bts con. | Tades questioned his moral force of character to | overcome ephemeral indiscretions, and subse- quently retrieved limself by attaining the position ol “bead of the army,” is not the man to truckle to @ mere mob clamor or degrade the Presidentiat office to the indorsement o1 a scheme that is A VIOLATION OF THE NATIONAL HONOR, to a policy that involves in it the surrender of the honest princtple upon which the war was fought, in the moral conviction of a free people that had | tully realized, atter years of strife and controversy, “that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain tualienabdle among which are life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness,” The question thus rests with the President, and upon his decision will values im this market, as in otner markets, depend. At present it is worth while to repeat what has been said before—there is no market. Property may be worth what it was two years it is certain to be worth more if any one holds it over this season of distrust and depression—bat it 1s not worth that much now, tn- asmuch as it will not bring that amount. The pres- ent value of anything, whether it be acabhage ora Boulevard lot is what it will bring just at this time. Its convertible quantity as cash. It is not proposed here to speak ol possible values or pros- jective Values, The future of New York realestate | isassured, but just at this thie real estate will not command the prices that it could two years’ ago. Every real estate owner knows this, and every real estate broker, and the sooner it is ac- cepted tn the dealings the quicker will real estate revive, THE WEAK HOLDERS WILL HAVE TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE MARKET before fresh capital will come in to support it. Whether they accepts decline now or wait fora | foreclosure, if they are not strong enough to hold over a period of necessary reaction in order to get a@ fresh starting point, they must | sell. ‘There is & tidal movement in ali | values, and real estate is at the present ‘ime on the crest of a receding wave. The return- ing wave will carry it far beyond its present figure, ‘but the recession must occur first. And the sooner this is Ce ae the less the danger. It must be borne in mind that New York real estate is Jargely under mortgage, It is estimated that seventy-five per cent of the realty of the city is thus encumbered. Foreigners hold a large pro- portion of these mortgages, the rest are held mostly by the insurance companies and savings banks. The recent action of Congress will irighten the foreign mortgagees. If they press for acon- version it will largely affect valnes, and so bring the home mortgagees into the market and recover their loans, and thus bring about a condition of things in the real estate market that it 13 abso- lutely startling to contemplate, yet which it ts well | to bear in ming as A GRAVE POSSIBILITY. We have had panics in real estate before that showed some remarkable features, The next panic will perhaps break our insurance companies and savings banks and, If it thug results, damage the country to an extent that cannot now be | clearly estimated. This is one of the resulta which are Be to flow from present Congressional legis- lation, It the President will only calmly review the situation and examine for himself its pending dangers he will quickly learn its serious danger. Real estate owners, however, cannot blame the President should he fail to understand the great- ness of the crisis. They never uitered the first protest against inflation and are to-day largely, secretiy rejotciug over the success of @ policy which they think wili give them an opportanity to unioad. This 1s & stupid error. The same intelligence which enabled a man to make money Will serve him in the investment of it, and be will not go it biind. Thus we find in- vestors all holding off to-day. When real estate settles down to a basis of legitimate value ao- cording to existing conditions, quite independent of its past or prospective vi capital which is now waiting will come rapidly in to absorband support it, batif the present condition be much longer maintained there isdanger of a break that will lose aight of all values and ,precipitate a con- dition of things that: every intelligent real estate owner forsees a8 & possible ending, if intelligent counctls be not Do My of the present anomalous position of real estate. IT 18 NO UBH IN SHUTTING ONE'S RYRS TO FACTS, and trying to ‘make believe” that certain un- pleasant consequences have not been reached. We are not @ bation of children and do not “play at keeping house.” If we have not the daring to look our position squarely in the face, the best thing we can do is to sell out and go back toa subordinate position. Let as be acoiony if we are not fit to have the truth told tous respecting our own manage- ment of affairs, Now the possibilities likely to flow from present Congressional action are of the most serious nature. It will be well for this in- terest to enter gravely upon their consideration and prepare itself for the worst, which will be the best security against the worst being reached. These are unpalatable truths, but it is the mission of modern journalism, of Wmch the H#raLp may boast that it is the exemplar to speak the truth tor the instruction of the peo ie, aithough it may press harshly upon special interests. We arein a crisis in the history of this country, when its future { General Grant fas” to appreciate this historic moment when he may stein the tide of an immoral public senti- ment, that 1a a legacy of the internecine struggle, we are launched upon a sea of reckless legislation that wil cat us loose from all values and pring about a condition of things that may be vane described as, Every man for himself aud the devil take the hindmost. In the meantime If 18 USHLMSS TO TALK Of THE REAL ESTATE MARKET— there is no market; or of real catate values—there are no vatues, neither here nor anywhere else, un- ul we discover whether we have an honest guy- ernment directed by principle, or that Uongress is simply @ primary meeting and the President a mere exponent of the pel icy, ‘Well, what are you % | lam Lambert, grand larceny; $1 47%, cash | $1473, cas! 1 red.’ $1 55 rights, | ¢ going to do about it?” Ts 18'to be ‘hoped we will get the solution soon, Then it will be time to talk of values, SHOOTING APPRAY.
