deoided that she died from poison, ad?
ministered by the hands of some person
unknown to the jury. Suspicion rests

New York, November 1.?Wallstreet
opened this morning in a panic, so far
as speculative shares are concerned,
lowest prices on record for many years
having been reaobed. Tbe street was
flooded with rumors of mercantile
failures, but these were not verified, and
when it became known that many of the
reports in reference to Claflin & Co.
were, grossly exaggerated, aud that firm
had informed the associated banks tbut
they needed no assistance from them,
there was a muoh better feeling nil
round and prioes advanced more rapidly
than they hud fallen. The great gam by
banks and the comparatively few defaults
on November interest also accounted for
the improved feeling. At the close this
evening, the feeling in financial circles
was much improved. Tbo fluctuations
in stock were rapid aud tbe transactions
inoreased in volume, notwithstanding
the dullness of Saturday afternoon.
Inquiry among dry goods dealers to?
day showed their transactions are very
light. Dealers are not encouraged to
press business, and sales are oodiiued to
the slight wants of the current trade.
The failure of Hcyt, Spragne & Co. bus
bad a depressing effect, and rumors set
afloat about Claflin & Co., have sufficed
to bring the dry goods trade almost
to a standstill. One dealer said to-day
that slaughtering was about the only
thing now taking place. This dearth of
trade, it is thought, will continue until
it can be definitely ascertained that tbe
difficulties will be overcome. In this
event business will take a fresh start im?
mediately.
A visit to the offices of the different
ocean steamship lines, this morning,
proved that the export trade was never
in better condition than it is at present.
Most1 a)l the steamers leaving this port
to-day, are laden to their utmost capaci?
ties, and rates were never, as a general
rule, higher than now. Tbe import
trade has fallen away to almost nothing,
and steamers arriving here aro often but
half full. This falling off is especially
noticeable in tbe amount of dry goods
imported. The above refers to tho trade
with Europe, The trude between this
city and Havana has almost beon killed
by the existing monetary stringency.
People in Havana are buying nothing
hero but tho merest neoessarios of life.
The price of sogar in Havana is lower
than tho actual value, and holders re?
fuse to sell, consequently there is no?
thing for steamers or sailing vessels to
do.
Ou inquiry to-day at freight offices of
lerdiug railroads, it was ascertained that
their frieght business was suffering
severely from tho financial disturbance,
and that iu many oases the railroad com?
panies were largely catting down their
expenses oy a reduction of wages and
the discharge of workmen.
The oaukers of the Kauaas and Pa
yet received any funds -to pay the No?
vember interest, and did not know
when any would ba forthcoming. The
same was Raid for the Darlington and
Cedar Ripid* Railroad Company. At
the othee of the bankers 'of the St.
Loois and South-eastern Railroad, it
was ascertained that that company
would not be able to pay off the interest
until next Monday, when, however, it
proposed to do so without a doubt.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
defaulted on their interest to-day.
Messrs. Fisk & Hatch have issuod a cir?
cular to the ' bond-holders in explana?
tion of their position, and the compauy
will make a statement Monday.
Nearly 800 men were thrown out of
employment by the partial suspension
of the Planet Carpet Weaviug Mills, in

tion of their wages. i
Piioyidbhoe, R. I., November 1.?At
the meeting of bank representatives to?
day, after the report of the committee
was presented, B. F. Thurstou, counsel
for A. & W. Sprague & Co., elated, in
behalf of the members of that firm, that
they are in full accord with the commit?
tee who have mado this recommenda?
tion, and propose to adopt in full, aod
have adopted in full, the recommenda?
tions of the committee. Senator Sprague
bnB retired, by voluntary consent, from
tho presidency of the company, und
Amasa Sprague has been designated to
fill the place.
A mortgage deed has been prepared
for tho purpose of securing all the pro?
perty and assets, private and corporate,
for the benefit of the creditors of the
company, agreoablo to the principle
suggested in the report. A meeting of
creditors'will be called ut an early day,
and it is hoped they will seo that the
plan which has been propos? d und the
execution of it is the beut possible tiling
that, under the circumstances, oan be
done for their interests It is in their
power to aocept or reject; but the alter?
native of rejection will be the throwing
of property into bankruptcy, and its
sacrifice, as a necessary consequence; or
at least the imperiling of the value of
tho obligations of the company, which
are held by their creditors. j

Washington, November 3.?The
United States Supreme Court to-day de?
cided, iu tho case of the State of South
Carolina, ex rel. Wagner, against Stoll,
County Treasurer, from tho Supremo
Court of the State, iuvolving tho ques?
tion of the validity of the issues of the
! Bank of_ the State during t ie war. Tho
charter "of the bauk, framed in 1812,
ptovided that its issues should be re?
ceivable for taxes, but the County Trea?
surer uow refused to receive them, on
the ground that they were issued in aid
of the rebellion, and were therefore no
tender. The oourt below sustained the
objection, und tlib jadgmout was for the
Treasurer. On a former argument of
the case iu this oourt, that judgment
was affirm od; but upon a re-argument,
hud at this term, there is a change of
opinion, and tbo judgment is uow re?
versed, the same Judge writing the opi?
nion; the court holding that,ta.i the
faith of the State was pledged fur these
hills, tho holders were entit'.ed to rely
upon that oredit aud to its protection;
the credit of the State could uut be
withdrawn without an open aud clear
declaration to that effect, aud such de?
claration was not made uutil 18G3, by
the repeal i.i lb > charter, which was too
lute to render the bills no teuder in the
present case, One other ci*o was de?
cided by the decision, iu this. Justice
Hunt delivered the opinion; Justice

In the present exoited statt? of the adver?
tising mania, we scarcely know how *o
address our friends. "Unprecedented
Rushes." "Enormous Increase of Biz," ad
cuptandum cigar puff*, a libers! profession of
superlatives, together with the quietly-whia
pored-in-your-ear assurance that it is aston?
ishing how the young men stand up to the
grave demands upon their pbyeical endur?
ance?really have left our modest style in the
shade. We have, however, no desire or love
for the sensational. "Water always finda
its level," and purchasers of 10 cent hams
and cooking buttor vamped under the name
of "Out Edge," soon find their way back to
where good goods only are kepi; and where
no proniiaea are nudo which are not meant
to be performed. Our stock is full, our busi?
ness fair, (not unprecedented,) terms are cash.
and onr gooda are up to tho standard wo
have always maintained. We can promiao
no mom. Verbum sap.
