The financial bankruptcy over which our people have been grieving for several years ha* been attended by revelations of a moral" bankruptcy in business aiul poMtlcal circles far more deplorable. We are just beginning to discover the excent to which this rottenness has pervaded onr national life. First came the Black Friday job­ beries and other iniquities traceable to the White House, and followed by the Credit M*»bilier disclosures. The ready condonation with which these ,thit\gs were passed over without causing a visible ripple upon the surface, was an alarming indication of the prevalence and power of a dominant rascality, and was therefore naturally followed by a series of catastrophes that have almost made a wreck of our national reputation as a republic of decently honest men. One at a time the great banking houses that had close relations with the government and were most prominent in politics went down in financial ruin only to be exposed to public view as fabrics of fraud. After ITcnry Clews. Jay Cooke & Co. and the Freedmaifs Bank, a legion of railway companies, insurance companies and savings bank* have exploded and ex­ posed an internal rottenness almost passing belief. Banker *princes, like Ralston of California, have sig­ nalized their downfall by suicide; others like Spencer, have fled with their plun­ der from impending indictments; and still others have remained to face with brazen cheek and callous sou!» the victims of their frauds, and to ask them: "Whit are you going to do about It?'* It is humiliating and depressing tp kfiow that our civilization and the boasted energy of our national life have borne such fruits, but there is a lesson in the revelation, nevertheless, which we have reason to hope will purge our society of the bad morals by which it has been so long diseased. The lives of even the most successful rascals prove that the way of the trans­ gressor Is hard, and that honesty is the best policy even when it keeps a man poor. Perhaps one of the clearest de­ monstrations of this truth is found iu the statement of Mr. Morton one of the most recent wrecks. tia's I'i^'mftneiHKxIiilSt ion7 Pn'-idoiit of lier Market Street Rail­ way, the scion of an old and honored family, hi::iself standing high in the public confidence as a man of ability and high business character, is sudden­ ly exposed to the world as the deliber­ ate perpetrator of a gigantic fraud in the -over-issue of about $1,000,000 worth of stock of the very prosperous street railway with which he was connected* JJo more astounding discovery was ever made in the Quaker City; but his own frank confession left no room t© doubt it. That confession Is the old, old story of doing wrong at first under a belief that good would come of it, and the wrong doer be enabled to rec­ tify it-without harming anybody; of being thus foreed into a course of haz­ ardous and criminal expedients to ̂ con­ ceal the first wrong till fortune should permit restitution; of fulling thus into the power of less well meaning scoun­ drels and being driven by them to ruin Such is JHr. Morton's story and it bears the impress of trutn. An unfortunate speculation in Read­ ing stock in 1870 threatened him with bankruptcy unless he could cover the margin and wait for a rise. He says he could l ave stood his own loss, but part of the collateral deposited by him with the broker belonged *to others, and lie was appalled at the idea of los­ ing that. Then it was that $100,000 of the ^larket Street stock wa? over-Is­ sued to enable him to carry the load till he could get himself into a proper position to make amends all round, through some legitimate enterprise.-- But this enterprise failed and necessi­ tated further overissues. He lost $100,000 in a motor for canal boats and another large sum in manufacturing porcelain and wicker work. The Treasurer of the Market Streec Railway Company, who helped him to make and conceal the over-issues of stock, took a notion to have "some of the pie"' | wre tenti Win us and no Pear Shall Awe.

The N. Y. Sun% <f a recent date, says; "However the case may stand with other Commercial centers, there is no lon^orSany room for doubt or question as to revival of trade here in the metropolis. The fact is patent to everyjpnly who has eyes. Western and Southern faces long missed and mourn­ ed are'reappearing daily in the hotel corridors and on the down-town si de- walks.? Wholesale merchants are rub­ bing their hands with satisfaction; railroads are carrying more freight than tjley have had the handling of f^r years past. In the horbor, too, and aHu]ong the water-front, the new life and bustle is very good to look at. Five steamers that cleared for Europe Saturday took with them over 250.000 bushels of grain, besides beef, bacon, and oUier provisions.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer* writing from tho Black Hills under date of Sep. 4. tells a sad story of the destitution prevailing thereabouts among laboring men. lie 6ays: "I have met in Deadwood in one day at least three hundred men from the East, who had not a peny iu their pockets, nothing to pawn or sell, and whose only food was that thrown to them by the liaud of charity, and char- it}' doesn't throw away much here.-- Noue of them could get away, there was no work, it was starvation to re- Q>ain. and their situation would have bothered old Diogues worse that the sneers of the beys did.

It turned the day Into nfholiday and created a nine days wonder. The Patent Office is one of the finest buildings in the city, large and handsome, a great structure built of marble and sandstone, many column­ ed and %rand. The destroying ele­ ment attacked its only vulnerable point of course, (did ever an enemy forget to assail the weakest spot ?) the fire breaking out in the attic, which in all the building was the only non»flre proof part.

He died there and was buried here, we believe, He was engaged to be married to a Miss Fish, a sister of Barnum's present Treasurer. After his death, it became necessary for Miss Fish to write several letters to Mr. Barnum, in reference to her dead lover Barnum admired the lady, because of her well-written letters, sought an ac­ quaintance--an acquaintance which soon ripened into love, and to make a long story short' the then Bliss Fish is himself andused $80,000 to make himself I novr Mrs. P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum a partner of John R. Nagle & Co.,! »8 twenty-seven years older than his by express will be Please send full or. Blank Book manufacturers. This firm forwitli began to prey upon Mr. Morton Holding his dreadful secret over his head, but still flattering his hopes it induced hlin to consent to further over issues to help the firm out of difficul­ ties In which it became involved. He says:"! knew If I took the steps I ought to take, it would prevent me from meeting.jmy own liabilities with­ out loss to others." The Nagle firm forced him to give them the printing of the Centennial Catalogue, and to lose about $100,000 in that. Knowing his position they took advantage of it, compromised him in every way, de­ feated all his attempts to retrace his steps or make restitution, and used wife. aSS-Presldent Mott, once conversing with the late Gen. Davis and Worth, said to the latter: "Worth, what do you do when in writing you come to a word you do not know how to spell ?"' The General answered: "I go to the dictionary and find out how to spell it." Says Mott: I have a better way than that; I write it so badly that no one can tell how it is spelled." JB&"Tlie Harvard Freshman class will be larger this year than for along time. 218 entered last June, and there were fifty-five candidates for examin­ ation Thursday, besides #|*ty-two to be partly examined. Well, we can already sec happy points in the calamity, direful though it was. A great mistake was made it putting combustible material into the composi­ tion of such a building and now the error will be corrected. Alslo, it is leading already to the extensive use of fire-proof material in buildihg and many are now engaged in tearing off roofs that can burn and substituting fire-proof ones. The model!* that were destroyed, sixty or eighty rhousaud in number, can scarcely be replaced. I suppose many can be made from pic­ tures and descriptions and the original models of many can be hunted up, but it is little likely that the trouble and expense of doing it will be undertaken and no little trouble will ensue from their loss. Other fires occurred the saiue day, the most extensive being a large livery stable containing fifty horses and carriages. .Men stood upon the roofs of buildings in the vicinity of the burnt structures for hours watching lest the flying sparks might kindl* other fires, indeed, the watching was keep up the whole night and engines remained stationed about the city to be in readiness forauy alarm. Dozens of arrests were made, as thieves and pickpockets were in their element and as eagerly at work is were the flames. A matter of great surprise was that, although several more or loss serious accidents occurred, none were fatal, nor was there any loss of Ufa resulting from the fire. Many merchants on the *sud *omov«a their goods which received no little damage in some cases from thievesaud from rough haudling. The quesiion concerning the Depart­ ment clerks having a granted election leave of absence has been widely dis­ cussed of late. Ohio citizens count themselves highly favored Iu that they can go home on reduced railroad rates and with no deduction on account of absence from their post here. Without the last named proviso, I fancy few of our Government clerks are patriotic enough to spend time and money to go home and vote. Some of them, per haps most of them, have dared not do otherwise in the past and It may be the same with them still. A promi­ nent Republican Senator said to one of his constituents who held an oflice in the Treasury : "Unless you can find it convenient to go hoine as I do and help the Republican cause, I will wash my hands clean of you. I do not intoud to keep any man in office trom my State who is not willing to go hoine and vote ai?.d contribute at least two mouths of his salary for campaign purposes. I spend my money to be kept in office, and you must spend yours if you ex­ pect to be a Government clerk. The President returned from his long trip to Ohio and the Southern States the first of the week aud will at once turn his attention to important matters awaiting him. The delega­ tion of Sioux and ArapahoeJ Indians arrived one day before him, aud are impatient for the deoision of the "Great White Father." The Govern­ ment wants to locate their agencies some hundreds of miles from where they are now situated, and from where they wis't to he aud will probably have to pay them well for the concession, for Spotted Tail who is Chief of the Sioux nation and is now here, is a sly old dog and ha? an eye to his own ad­ vantages. The disgraceful part of it all is that the Government dare not in­ sist upon anything with them for tho Sioux alone can piuster from seven to ten thousand warriors at short notice and such a force is too formidable for our available army. Congressmen and politicians of all grades, from those with individual axes to giiud, to the lobbyists whom they will employ and whose services are always for tale, are fast arriving.-- The Capitol looks bright as the newest of pines both inside and out, and the work still goes on though the work is new complete save a few finishing touoheg, Olive. and plain cakes, pudding, bread. eta.« thus practically giving you two pMM for the price ot one.
