A proceeding like that of Mr. Wood might drive the stock down to that price, and an innocent person would lose heavily, Itis impossible to imag- ine any system of dealings more calou- lated to frighten the much-sought-for public away from Wall street. o H0 BETTING SYSTEM, There is auother foolish and growing custom in Wall street, brokers will, if giness, they are wiso, stop at once. A broker dhitiaanin makes bot about the price of a stock, and if it should appronch the price stipu- Proapcets of a Rate War and Other [jatod, he sclls or buys it, 8o Matcers, a8 to win his bet. Inany other betting THE OUTLODOK FOIt STOCKS, Special Telogram to Tre Brr Nxw Yonrk, November 18..~The week in Wall strect promises to be an inter- esting one, meeting of the shattered Iowa pool, and to-morrow is the meeting day for the Northern Pacific and the Northwestern companies, All these meetings are of considerable importance, and their re- sults must unavoidably affect the market. The Northwestern mecting can in no case have an unfavorable influence; while it might, in casc of the declara- tion or the promise of an extra dividend, exercise a very favorable one, but the other two meetings are under a heavy cloud. THE TOWA 1001, has always been a sickly institution, and the roport that the St. Paul companysent in on Saturday its 30 days’ notice of its withdrawal must become the signal of a very fierce railroad war, unless some- thing is patched up to-morrow, and Messrs. Mitchell, Milbank & Co. are in- duced to withdraw their notice of with- drawal. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC BUSINESS is still more dubious. The ratification of a new £20,000,000 mortgago by a ma- jority of the stockholders is probably as- sured for the necessary steps towards socuringtheneeded amount of votes were taken six or eight weeks ago, but there are several injunction suits pending against the issuc of any new bouds and it _is by no means sure that they will be decided in favor of the com- pany and its directors, In one of these suits Judge Wallace in the United States Circuit Court, on Friday, reserved his decision and may not give it for sev- eral days to come, but that CANNOT HELP MR. VILLARD and his associates much. The opposi- tion to the issue of these bonds is con- ducted in carnest and there is even some talk about testing the legality of the very existenence of the Oregon Trans- Continental company for whose benefit the new mortgage is to be made. Forthe sake of the public, it is to be hoped that these legal proceedings will unveil theac- tual distribution of the different stocks of this concern, and thus throw gome light upon the real position of its directors. There are strong suspicions that some of them sold out their holdings, and a well- known lawyer offered, the other day, to bet $1,000 that Henry Villard did not share of Oregon Transcontinental It would be idle to attempt to predict -here the results of all these moatings and suits, but one thing is cer- tain, and that iz that however favorable they may-be, they will not be able per- manently to improve THE SPECULATIVE FEELING for there is no public on hand to buy stocks, and this absence of outside huy- ing is affecting not only the New York stoc’s market, but that of the whole of Europoe. In Paris speculation has been dead eince the memorable crash, while in London birokers are in utter despair from want of husiness, and Labouchere, who is an old stock gambler, and knows the wmarket thoroughly, said recently in bhis paper: “In vain stocks arc sent up and down. In_ vain <combinations are formed to buy and hold stocks with & view of accommodating the public with them. The investor will ave nothing to do with them, and why is this? To a certain extent because money is not so plentiful asit was form- erly: but to a still greater extent, be- cause the public are FAR MORE WIDE AWAKE than they used to be in financial matters and are neither prepared to believe that a stock is worth buying because thero is an artificial rise in it, nor after a somewhat bitter experience of commissions and jobbers are turns contag- ious and backward actions absolutely certain that speculation on the stock ex- change is a sure and and certain road to fertune.” The London Waild, and all the leading journals of London which give attention to stock speculation, dis- cugg the cituation in the same strain, und the majority of them warn tho public in the strongest possible terms to have nothing to do with American stocks. A PERTINENT QUESTION, Apropos of the suspension of Mr “Aleck” Taylor, Jr., for the use of strong lauguage on the floor of the Ex- change, people who are not members of that fustitution are asking them- selves what it s run for. There used to be an idea that it was a mart in which stocks were baught and sold, the ordinary rules of supply and demand regulatin, the prices of stocks. Brokers were pai a commission for buying and selling be- cause their knowledge of certificates pre- vented the sale of forged bonds and such like swindles, but it really now seemsthat the main aim of the members of the Ex- ehange is to try to bamboozle each other, Taylor was of course wrongindenouncing Waod in the emphatic terms he used, but Mr, Taylor is of a erous and energetic dispositien and hisvery rational indignation exceeded the bounds of dis- cretion. WHAT CAN BE £AID] But what is to be said of Mr, Wood, who knowing thata certain price was bid for Virginia Midland, offered it at 2 per cent lower, when there wus no one cr-wnt in that particular *‘crowd.” He new that he could get a higher price for the stock if he really wanted to sell it, and the eonzequence of his action wight have brought considerable loss upon many unoffending people. Sup- pose, for instance, that an out- sider were long of Virginia Midland that his margin would be used up at— 1t opens to-morrow with the transaction this would be stigmatized as sharp pract'ce; hut the hoard finds an excuso for it under the plea that thesalo may have beon for a customer, At all events, the Rhadamanthine decision of the board sentencing Mr. Taylor to five days suspension has not had any effect upon that gentloman’s exuberant spirits. He has gone duck-shooting till his time is up, and his only regret is that the duc{:s in the neighborhood of Namaron eck are too fishy to be eaten. THE CHICAGO MARKET likely to remain so. No mand for wheat is come before January, if it then, Canada is heavily of breadstuffs this year, but also taxes heavily American and is not likely to take any unless ac tual want causes her to get the tax oft; but all that takes time. For corn the situation seems to be different and there is a_steadily increasing demand for it, both at home and abroad, and the visible supply appears to be de- creasing rapidly. Besides, most of the corn is said to bo soft, and does notgrade for deliveries. The sudden chango from uropean do- she that staple. — RAILROAD RIFRAFE, THE OHIO RIVER POOL, Cixcissarr, November 18.—The Ohio having been signed by the representa- tivos of all the roads interested, namely: The Chicago & Eastern Iliinois, Louis- ville, New Albany & Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis, Jefferson, Madi- son & Indianapolis, Indiana, Blooming- ton & Western, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago, and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. the percentages, and that point is to be left to arbitration The arbitrators de- Richardson to-day, but the terms are not definitely known. The pool will take effect from November 1. st Sl e STANDARD TIM The Clocks are Changed and Trains Run on the New Arrangement, Cnurcaco, November 18.—The new effect hero st noon to-day. All roads running out ot the city except the Chica- go & Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Illinois Central snd Michigan Central, began running trains in accord- ance therewith. The others begin next Sunday. Theleading jewelers set their chronometers back 9 minutes 33 seconds, to correspond with the new basis. The board of trade will be opened and closed by it to-morrow. The city has taken no official action in regard to it. New York, November 18.—The new standard time went into effect at noon to-day. The changeson all public clocks in largo blocks excited much interost. ———— The Iron Trade Dullness. Prressurc, November 18.—The mills of Oliver Brothers & Phillips, reported |as having closed down last night, have suspended operations in all departments except the rolling mill, and D, B. Oliver, ono of the firm stated this ovening it was very probable that work would be sus. pended in that department very soon if trade did not improve, Among other mills said to be preparing to close down about the 15th of next month are the extension works, Everson, MacCrum & Co., and the Union Iron Mills operated by Carne- gie Brothers & Co. It was rumored to- night that the Bessemer Steel Works at Homestead, Pa., had ordered their fire out, but owing to the lateness of the hour it was impossible to get anything reliable from that place. Interviews with num- erous iron fmanufactures developed the fact that the trade was passing a period of unusual depression. Secretary J, D, Weeks anticipates a_dullness oqual to the four years succeeding the panic of 1873, while prices are lower than at that time. The increase of facilitics for over- production is assigned as tho principle cause of the depression, Secretary Mar- tin, of the Amalgamated Association, says ho is not alarmed at the situation, and says that while gome mills are com- pelled to close, others will run on dou- ble time. A Railway Smash, Camo, Ill,, November 18.-—Reliable information coufirms the previous report of an accident at Bradford, on the South- ern division of the Illinois Central rail- road. Train 4, going south, was flagged at Bradford for orders, and while the conductor was in the office getting them the engineer saw the flag, rang the bell, and receiving no answer by the bell cord, left the station without the conductor, Unsuccessful attempts were made to call him back with a freight engine whistle, but when two miles from Bradford a lady living along the line flagged the train, and it was coming to a stop when the north-bound passenger train came round a curve, forty miles an hour, and coming together both trains were wrecked and five cars burned. Mr. Coburn, a line re- pairer, and the colored porter were illed. The engineer of Train 3 was se- riously hurt, and seven or eight passen- gers injured, but none seriously, -~ Major Burk, of The New Orleans Times-Demo- crat, and wife, were awmong the passen- gers. Mrs, Burk was only slightly in- Jured, —— A Bmallpox Quarantine. Catko, 1ll, November 18, —New Burnside, 111, has quarantined against Stonefort and surrounding country. Smallpox has been prevalent at Stone- fort for seversl Jayn, and three new cases are reported in ghe country near Burnside, was dull and steady last week, and is likely to wheat the cold weather of a few days ago to the warm weather which has set in since is not calculated to improve the quality ef river pool is now established, thecontract 1t fixes all except livered a decision to Pool Commissioner standard time of the central division, or the 90th gmeridian, went into general DIRE DISASTER.

The substance and spirit of the recent amendments to the constitu- tion have been sacrificed by subtle and ingenious verbal eriticism. Conatitu- tional provisions adopted in tho interest of liberty and for the purposo of secur- ing through national legislation, if need be, the rights inhering in a state of freedom, and belong- ing to American citizanship, have been 80 constructed as to defeat the ends the people desired to accomplish, which they attempted to accomplish, and which thoy supposed that thoy had ac- complished by changes in thoir funda. mental law. The court has doparted from tho familiar rule requiring in the interpretation of constitutional rrnviuiuns that full effect be given to the intent with which they were adopted. 'Che power conforred by the 13th amendment does not rest upon implication or infer- ence, and power to enforce it by appro-| priate legisiation was expressly granted. Congress therefore mn{ enact laws to protect the colored people against depri- vation on account of their race, of any civil rights enjoyed by othor free men in any state, and such legislation may be of a Iiraee and primary character, operating upon states, their officors and agents, and those wia]dimi Yowcr under the state. The national legislature may, without transcending the limits of the constitution, dv for human liberty and fundamental rights of American citi- zenship, what it did with the sanction of the Supreme Court for the protection of slavery and rights of masters of fugitive slaves, Railroad ocorporations, keepers of inns, and may of placos of amuse- ment are agents for the State because amenable to public regulation,and denial by theso instrumentalities of the State to a citizen because of his race, of that quality of civil rightasecured him by law, eis denied by the State and the supreme lawof the land has decreed that no authority shall be exercised in this country upon a basis of discrimination in respect to civil xights against free- men and citizens because of ~their race, color or previous condition of servitud The assumption that the general g ernment eannot, in advance of hostile State Jaws or hostile State proceedings, actually interfere for the protection of any rights, rlzfleg‘l and immunities se- cuged t‘hl: 14th ‘amendment, is unau- t.horim! by its languarge.” BANKS AND BANKING, The e £ ComrensRot S, Cprmbteoller of e e The portion furnished for publication re- lates mainly to State banks, trust com- panies and savings banks. From re- turns received from twenty-four States it appears that (here are 788 State banks and trust companies and 620 savings banks, The savings banks deposits amount to $1,024,866,787 and the de- posits of State banks and trust compa- nies to $500,374.217. These returns do not include bank deposits. The deposits in National banks, Ootober 2, 1882, ex- clusive of those due banks, amounts to $1,063,601,153.

They then quietly, but with great determination proceeded to break the iron doors leading to the corridors.

A STATUETTE FOR HIM, Beruy, November 18.—The Crown Prince Frederick takes as a present to King Alfonso a bronze statuctte of the great elector, TOO WIDELY DIFFERING, Loxpon, November 18,.—The Observer says there is reason to oulieve that the result of the interviows, between Do Ler« seps and English ship owners, on the Suez canal matter, has been to leave the latter under the impression that the points of view from which they respect- ively regard the question differ too fun damentally to allow auy possibility of a mutual agreement, Speaking at Manchester, last night, De Lesseps said that he had received from engineers of the Panama canal as- surances that the canal would be open in five years, A DESPERATE CASE, Paws, November 18,—Currien, the would-be assailant of M. Ferry, recently deserted his home, wandered about until he became destitute, and threw himself before a carriage with the purpose of committing suicide, WAL INEVITABLE, Paris, November 18,—In an interview Marquis Tsenz declared that during the last few days the situation between France and China has become very criti cal owing to the proceedings of the French, the Government's ropeated votes in the Chambers of Deputies, and the juxtaposition of Chineso an French troops. Many well-armed Chinese regu- lars have crossed the frontier and en- camped at Bacmint, where they are closely watching the movements of the French. Notwithstanding the presence of the French fleet, three army corps of 10,000 men each, and equipped in Euro- pean fashion, can on very short notice, march by three different routes against the French. Among lthe ese troops are many Earopean and American engineers, The French may be able to throw a few bombshells into Canton, but it would be difticult for peasants and landlords, calling for mili- | their fleet to approach the place, as the water is too shallow. France must firat sive warning if she contemplates a hostile demonstration to the merchant vessels of all nations there. 1f the Canton Manda- rins are enorgetic tho natives will fight well, and the French will find them worthy foomen, China is receiving en- couragement and material aid from all sides 1 hive received no communication from the French government since my last arrival in Paris, I shall return to Folkostone almost immediately. Concluding he said China ardently desires peace and de plores that the situation daily becomes moro aggravated. Sho will ~ recognizo, however regrotfully, the acsomplished facts and leavo to France the towns and forts captured south of Red river, China 1sdetermined, howover, to hold Bacmint against all comers with the grontest energy. Tho passago of the lted river will cortainly bo & declaration of war. China is perfectly aware that Ad- miral Coubot is prevaring for a campaign againet the Chinese. He ropeatedly sonds telograms demanding boats of light - | draught and depends entirely on Franco to avoid war. I'rance must stop at once. To-morrow may be too late. AFFAIRS IN EGYPT, Carro, November 18,—A lotter from Jeddab, dated 13th inst., confirms the roport of the death of Commandor Mon- eriefl and {he annihilation of the Egypt inn force which he has accompanied. A force of 500 men landed at Toka, when they were cut to pieces, only 14 men escaped. On the 12th tho rebels attacked Suakim but more repulsed. A panic however set in and tho inhabitants at ast adlvices were flying to Jeddah, The convict station at Toka ie in the hands of tho rebels. It is stated that another Egyptian tribe has revolted at Sennar. The situation has become extremely critical. Either Hicks Pasha, Comman- dor of the Egyptian troops, must retire or a strong contingent of Sir Evelyn Wood's army must start forthwith to t{m scene of operations. The whole move- mont is due to slave traders in upper Egypt who profoss to act in the name of Mahadi, the false prophot. AFRATD OF THE COOLIES, Loxvox, November 18.—A Shanghai correspondent says many Coolies who went to Hankow for the season, are re- maining thore in the hope of being enlisted, and that tho presenco of a large number of unemployed natives has alarmed the foreign natives who asked that a gunboat b sent for their protec- tion, Bodies Recovered, Perasky, Mich.,, November 18,—The body of Moses Detwiler, drowned Sun- day, was found at the head of Little Traverse Bay, four miles north of here, this afternoon.

What He Says of the Danville Rioting, Charges of a Wanton and Bloody Massacre, The Little Seuator Demands Aid from the Federal Government as He Waves the Bloody Shirt, AN ADDRESS, Perersnere, VA, November 18 — Mahone has issueda four column address to tho Roadjuster party of Virginia, in which he says: When the dominant party oreanized around great and enduring principles, and composed of a decided majority of tho voters in the state, is suddenly over- whelined and made to appeara minority itis of the highest consoquence that overy member of the party should in- form himself whether that result had beon brought about by a free and honost exprossion of popular will, and which of its avowed principles has be- come obnoxious to a majority, or if all are still adhered " to ~which of them has been botrayed by those entrusted with the great dnty of applying and enforcing them in the gov- ernment of the State, He then recites at length theprinciples of the party, and says: ‘It came into power in Virginia as an expression of the popular will concerning the finances ot the State, and under its management debts have been reduced, the right ofsuf- frage has been protected, school funds and schools increased, 726 miles of rail- road have been built, representing a per- manent investment of $21,000,000, and numerous other improvements made by private corporations and the State government have beencompleted while under bourbon rule, the reverse was true. As late as July 26,when their convention adjouned in the faith that other issues might prove availab'e, THE RACE ISSUE had not only not been made prominent by the bourbous, but had been ignored. So long as it was not agitated, and in- deed up to the last week of the canvass, when murder became rampant, our party was intact, and every report from every section brought assurances f victory. But, as the election drew near, the bourbon fraction, realizing that on every other issue it was hope- lessly defeated, and infuriated by the knowlodge of impending disaster, seized upon therace issue, chanted, howled,and and intoned it until, wrought up to fever heat, it became their sole, only and ab- sorbing theme. As the excitement thus begotten, becamo more intense, as the buying of blacks became more and more apparently impracticable, the vielent pol- icy became more necessary to intimidate blacks and inflame whites. Arme began to pour in thesouthregions, the supply of small arms in our larger cities was ex- forty stand of muskets und the Danville region was a walking arsenal. The cry that ‘‘WHITEMAN SHOULD RULE OR DIE,” the annnouncement that a war of races was upon us had swelled in volume and ferocity. The facts of the massacre in Danville as gathered from all sources are, that upon the Saturday evening preced- ing the election, just after Danville ne- groes had received their weekly pay and were buying their Sunday supplies in the crowded market place, a white man appeared, had an altercation with a negro and whipped him, The fight was ended and no other negroes came to the rescue or punished the man, but the programme was not interrupted by this circumatance. An armed gathering of the best people, ‘‘of the best and bravest,” were conveniently near and the moment the murderous throng poured out of the building where they were assembled, they opened A DEADLY FIRE upon the unarmed, defenseless and fly- ing negroes. How many were killed no one knows, and no one will probably learn the truth, for the condition of things is still such that the truth cannot be learned. That they were shot in the backs like dogs while running away, that no pistol shots were fired by the black men, and that no white man was injured save by his own friends, that for days the poor victims were found dead in alleys, in warehouses and under houses like poisoned rats that had crawled away to die, that negroes fled to the wagds, to the State of South Caro- lina, and to the four winds of heaven are a few of the facis of this BLOODY WHOLESALE MURDER which was telegraphed far and near by the bourbons as an insolent uprising of blacks against whites. These, fellow citizehs, were the means resorted to. The effects were all that the bull- dozers could haye hoped, 1In the history of politics in this State the recent cam- paign is, thank God, without precedent and to the forbearance and long suffering of the Readjusters, to this alone, is due the fact that the State is not now bathed in blood. Chat @ reaction will come and that swiftly and completly is not a matter of doubt. It is true, Bourbonism has gained a triumph upon campaign falsehood and deception, by appeals to passion and by a %.l‘hfl)lll resolve to shed as much innocent blood as was nocessary to its success. It is true, that by fair means and by foul it has procured # tomporary majority, and yet it is equal- ly true that a ma o:i:{ of our people aro conservative at heart and abhor false- hood and violence. ~ Bearing in mind the old watchword of *'a free ot and a fair count,” we have the right to de- mand and expect support from the State, and if need be, from the Federal Gov- ernment in behalf of the rights of man guaranteed by both Governments and put at stake, to procure the ascendency of an unscrupulous party that sticks at nothinz to acquire power, — Determined t- Die, BavriMorg, Mo, November 18, —Mers, Zoe Huyward, of Philadelphia, wife of the opera singer, attempted suicide at the Mason house. o fired seven shots, one of which took effect in her left breast.
