CURRENT TOPICS. 
Signor Mario and Carlotta Patti, 
Have, under tho luftruigeraliip of Strakosti, 
Strain visited this oounlry, and given two eon- 
certs In Now York City. Mario Is an old man, 
retaining ami exhibiting occasionally in his 
singing, bouio of his former power and sweet¬ 
ness of vocalization and appreciation of what 
he Bings. Carlotta Patti retains the beauty of 
face, bird-Hke eloarneas of voice, power of vo¬ 
calization of former years. That anything has 
been added to her powers we do not see. Mias 
Carey, who is one of (he t roupe, lias a rich ruler 
full of expression and feeling. The most note¬ 
worthy member of the troupe is M. Bnuret, vio¬ 
linist. His performance equaled anything we 
ever heard from Ole Hull or any other violinist. 
Compared with Ole Bull he lack* un expressive 
face, and fails to exhibit the facial sympathy 
with his music peculiar to Ole* Bull. But he Is 
young yet. 
The “ Creat Father” and the Indians. 
There Isa greatamount of nonsense talked in 
these interviews with the Indians. The “ Great 
Father" humbug had better be dropped. Sec¬ 
retary Delano has informed some of the Indian 
Chiefs visiting Washington that the “Great 
Fa ther’’ was get ling sick of his peace policy, 
and thought of treating the Indians as he does 
white murderers, robbers, thieves and other 
criminals. Let’s bo done with this “Great 
Father "-annuity-business. Hang or shoot men 
who murder and refuse to obey the laws. Treat 
the Indians just as w hibo men are treated—no 
better, no worse. Execute the law. That is 
what President Grant should do; and If In do¬ 
ing it he finds It necessary to hang a few Indian 
Agents he will probably be doing the Indians 
and the tax-payers a great service, at the same 
time meting out .lustier. 
Death of Hon. Carrett Davis, 
ITo.n. Garrett Davis, II. S. Senator from 
Kentucky, died at Paris, Ky., Sept. 22. of an af¬ 
fection of the lungs. He was horn Sept. Hi, 
1801, being VI years old. He was admitted to 
the bar of Kentucky in 1828; became nn active 
Whig; was elected l*> the Suite Legislature in 
1833; was t wiee re-elected ; was a member of t he 
State Constitutional Convention in 1839; was 
eleoted to Congress tlu* same year, where he 
represented his district until 1817; was elected 
to the United States Senate In 1801, succeeding, 
in that position, John C. Brcekenridge; was re¬ 
elected id 1887, holding the position at the time 
of Ills death. He was passionate, enthusiastic, 
of keen susceptibility, and given to keen sar¬ 
casm aud severe invective on occasion. His 
successor has been elected in the person of Hon. 
Thomas McCreary. 
Trouble Between Cermany and France. 
Coe NT Von An min, the German Ambassador 
at Paris has resigned his position in consequonet 
of the unpleasant manner in which ho Is re¬ 
ceived in French society. The Germans have, 
therefore, not. only conquered the armies of 
France, but tlie politeness of tho French. Arm¬ 
ed foes do not in all eases cease to hate when tho 
sword is shea I bed. The nltitudenf Germany to¬ 
ward the Catholics, the fact that the Pope has 
refused to receive as German Ambassador Car¬ 
dinal Hohcnlobts tlie resignation of Count Von 
Arinin, the arrest of Edmund About by the 
Germans, all tend to unsettle (he confidence in 
the future peace of the two countries which all 
nations laid hoped was secure.

Postal Telegraph. 
Tt Is telegraphed from Washington that the ' 
Postmaster-General will devote a large portion ( 
of his forthcoming report to the subject of pos- < 
tal telegraphs, and will urge their adoption by 
Congress, ho now having tabular statements and 
statistic? to show Hint postal telegraphy has met 
with financial success in the countries where it 
has broil adopted-especially in England, where 1 
it is largely used. We see no good reason why t 
the Post Office Department should not provide 1 
cheap telegraphic means of communication as * 
well us mail facilities. Either the carrying of 1 
letters and papers should be left to private, en- ^ 
terpriseand competition, as the telegraph busi- * 
ness is, or not. If ono is to be in the hands of * 
the Government, both should be. ' 
The Jesuits in Cermany. 
THE enforcement of the Gorman decree ex¬ 
pelling the Jesuits from Germany has begun. 
Their churches are being closed, priests have 
been arrested at the confessional in the dis¬ 
charge of their religious duties, schools have 
been broken up, and Hie Order of the Company 
of Jesus, orders akin to it, and congregations of 
a similar character, arc leaving the Fatherland. 
There are said to be fourteen millionsof Catho¬ 
lics tn tho German Empire, and it is believed 
that this vast army of religionists will not sub¬ 
mit quietly to this edict of Prince Bismarck and 
his Imperial backer. 
Death of the King of Sweeden. 
Chaui.es XV., Louis Eugene, Kingof Sweden 
and Norway died at Mahno, Sept. 18. He was 
bom May 3,182U. He succeeded to the throne 
of the two countries on the death of his father, 
Oscar I., July 8,1869. His reign 1msbeen one of 
reorganization socially and politically, and he 
lias been regarded as a liberal and progressive 
ruler. He was married June 19, 1850, to Prin¬ 
cess Louise of Orange, by whom ho has one 
daughter but no sons. The throne therefore 
devolves upon his younger brother. Prince Os¬ 
car Frederick, Duke of Ostrogotha, who will 
acquire the title of Oscar II. 
The Nathan Murderer. 
, tvi i.t.iAM Forrester hns been arrested and 
arraigned as the Nathan murderer. At the ex¬ 
amination. Sept. 18, Ann Keenan, Ft. I.ee, X. Y., 
i a music teacher, swore that on tho night of the 
Nathan murder she saw this man whom she 
identifies, enter the basement of the Nathan 
house, having some instrument in his hand and 
concealed by tho sleeve of his coat. She was 
alarmed at tho look in his eyes and at the fact 
that he seemed armed with some weapon in his 
hand. This testimony is the most direct yet giv¬ 
en toward establishing the identity of the Na¬ 
than murderer. 
The Geneva Arbitration. 
The Geneva Arbitrators have awarded the 
United States $15,600,000 in gold, to be paid with¬ 
in a t welvcmonth, as damages in tho ease of the 
Alabama and other Bimliar claims. The British 
member of the Board of Arbitration refuses to 
sign this award, and “protests;" of course all 
England “ protests." too. The English press fa 
especially bitter, denouncing the humiliation to 
which John Bull is subjected In consequence of 
this award. But what is Great Britain going to 
do about It? 
Inviolability of Private Property. 
During the receut meeting of the Emperors, 
the inviolability of private property at sea dur¬ 
ing war was discussed by Prince Gorisihakoff, 
Count Andrassy and 1’rlnco Bismarck, tho Pre¬ 
miers of the respective Emperors. This principle 
seems to meet with tho approval of the United 
Plates, Austria, Germany, Russia, Italy and Hol¬ 
land. If it is adopted as an international policy 
by Hie majority of nations, R will tend to de. 
crease tho commercial terrors of war; hut it 
will hardly render wars less liable to occur. 
German Emigration to the United States. 
Two circulars have already been issued by 
the Imperial Government, of Germany against 
emigration from that happy land of beer and 
pretzels. The last one declares that emigrants 
will be treated us outlaws, over whom surveil¬ 
lance and supervision lifts lte.cn instituted. But 
what care Herr, Frau and Fmulcin, so that they 
can once gain the security of tho “ land of the 
brave and the free?” They keep coming and 
are welcome, God bless ’em ! There is room and 
work enough for all!

Spanish Reform In Cuba. , 
King Amadeus of Ppain, in his opening ’ 
speech to (lie Spanish Cortes, proposes to carry 1 
out his plans (what, are they?) for reform in 1 
Cuba when the war is over—which, according to J 
Cuban patriots, will bo when their indepond- J 
once is recognized and acknowledged, or when 
they are Themselves extinct and unable to > 
struggle further. Small hope for the “reform ’’ t 
i icket in Cuba I < 
The Carliats Promise Insurrection. t 
Don Cahlor, the recent leader of the Spanish 
insurrection, has written a letter to the Pope, * 
which is said to be circulating in Paris, which * 
promises a speedy renewal of insurrection ( 
against King Amadeus. Is the Pope inciting 
the internal troubles in Spain as a means of re- * 
vonge upon the King of Italy ? If so, is this the { 
way to propagate Christianity? 
An Honest Man, j 
To find an honest man—one who cannot be J 
bought—is so rare, especially among lioree jock- *i 
eye, that n sporting paper names one who, at ^ 
Utica, N. Y., was offered $1,500 by a gang of ( 
gamblers to sell the race ; hut he didn't. This is 1 
so rare an occurrence that wo pass tho "Jock¬

wonderful Sewing Machine of the age? The 
great Wilson Underfeed, the machine which 
received Fourteen Premium* at the late Ohio 
State Fair at Mansfield, notwithstanding the 
many sewing machines competing against it. 
This elegant sewing machine is on exhibit ion at 
the N. O. Fair, nnd attracts universal admira¬ 
tion for its superior finish and style, beautiful 
work, easy nnd quiet manner in which it 
stitches, lira ids, &c. Unfortunately there arc 
no premiums offered this year ut the N. O. Fair, 
consequently the Wilson cannot show it;- superi¬ 
ority over all other machines in carrying off all 
the premiums, as it futg(lone hefurt. No machine 
ever exhibited has mot with such success in re¬ 
el iving premiums as the Wilson. It is the best 
Sewing Machine in the world, and the Sweeping 
VicUiricjt it lias gained, the large sales that are 
daily made, and the increasing demand for it, 
are the best proofs tlmt it has no equal. The 
magnificent salesrooms of this company, corner 
of Superior nnd Bond streets, will be brlllianlly 
illuminated every evening this week, to give 
every ono an opportunity to examine the Wil¬ 
son, and see the Palace of Sewing Machines.—

THE MARKETS. 
MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS. 
New York, Monday, Sept. 23, 1872. 
There wa» much excitement tn Wall St. through 
the past week on account • >f several “ cornering " op¬ 
erations in Gold nnd Money, which threatened for a 
day or two to run into u wide spread panic. But be¬ 
fore the close of the week, after fluctuations of u-jc. 
in Gold, and 2ft2‘i per cent iri many of the specula¬ 
tive Stocks, tho markets resumed steadiness, and 
prices left off about the sumo #8 the Saturday before. 
A bold and desperate clique of speculators, known 
as the old Erie"crowd,” (Jay Gould and confeder¬ 
ates) who were "short" of Stocks and "long" of 
Gold, attempted, and successfully to a certain meas¬ 
ure, to “corner" the Money market, by locking up 
Greenbacks, the basis of Banking, through the pur¬ 
chase of Gold and the use of their own Bunk balances, 
and from 5 per cent, per annum, the Money market 
was run on the Stock Brokers to t,® percent a (lay. 
At the same time they locked up their Gold, or bor¬ 
rowed on It not to be used, and ran upthe price from 
113k to 115k per rent., charging K®'•( l><-‘i cent, a day 
for its use when the Brokers preferred to borrow in 
place of buying. One or two of t he Banks attempted 
to resist the exceptional drafts made upon them at 
their counters for Greenbacks, in plnee of passing 
the Cheeks tn tho regular way through the Clearing 
House, but the Associated Banks in the Clearing 
House deellncil to adotit llils course as a rule, and 
the affair was settled. The Banks for the future, 
however, will mostly adopt the plan of certifying 
Checks asfor settlement llirough the Clearing House. 
The Treasury relieved the money market by pur¬ 
chasing LUO),non t:. 3.5.21)S tor the Sinking fund on 
Wednesday last, nnd sold only the usual 51.on.m0 
Gold on Thursday which tho clique bought at 114 per 
cent. The price of gold was subsequently ruu up to 
1163, and soon returned to 11 OX per cent. 
During these operations in Gold and Money, an¬ 
other great speculator. Mr. Daniel Drew, run up the 
price ot Erie Stock, or which the Jay Gould people 
were heavily abort, from 47>; to 55 per rent,, nnd to 
use the slang of the Prize Ring, the latter were se¬ 
verely " punished" by Drew as they had essayed to 
"punish ” the street on Gold nnd Money. 
The flurry tn Wall Street, It was apprehended at 
one time, would seriously ntfeet general trade, and 
did reduce the rates of Exchange made against Pro¬ 
duce shipments nearly 2 per cent. It 'v.ts checked tn 
time to avert more extensive mischief, nnd the busl* 
ness of the week in Imports nnd Exports, and also In 
Domestic l>ry Goods, was about the September aver¬ 
age. Money returned to '030 per cent, on mercan¬ 
tile paper. The Cotton trade Is feeling the effect of 
large receipts from the new crop, and prices hare 
gone down this month about 2 cts. tho pound. Tho 
new crop is now estimated at 3,600,000 bales. The last 
crop was 2,974,000 bales.

to the market. The English crop will turn out heavy 
and the market there is niiseltleiL The indications

changed. Trade Is not active. Sellers, especially 011 
the West side, are troubled with an uneven run in 
qualities. Wry many dairies nnd lots that were 
started previous to the recent, hot spell were caught 
on the way and wore more or less damaged. When 
8fHto hatter samples cut soft the buyer is apt to be 
suspicious nnd regardless of the daily's mark ; there 
Is always a slow sale lor it. With Western the case 
Is diflerejit, as the seller has distance to urge in 
speaking ot condition, and ns the pried* generally in 
huycr'i, favor It Is cosier to work it off. BesirWwe 
have about turned from Western to State, and the. 
difference in price makes the market buyer very cau¬ 
tious, expecting, as he does, a very w ide difference 
In showy quality. Exporters have taken several 
round parcel* with both price and grade in their favor.
