MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS 
The Arraignment of the People. 
One of the most humiliating features of the 
present political oompftlgn is that in which the 
people arc charged by political partisans with 
being corrupt—with being in the market for 
sale to the highest bidder! Each party charges 
the other with spending an awful lot. of money 
to carry the election; each assorts If the other 
party wins it will bo because that other parly 
has had the most money, or has spent the most, 
to pay for votes or to induce the people to stay 
away from the polls. Are the people then so 
corrupt ? H they are, is it wonderful that t heir 
representatives are corrupt ? Such statements, 
when publicly made, ought to be crammed down 
the throats of men who ut ter them with u mop: 
or the people who are thus arraigned ought for¬ 
ever after to hold their peace with reference 
to official corruption. Officers come from, are 
elected by, and represent the people in this 
country, and such statements are indictments 
of venality against the people. 
New York, Monday, Sept. 30, 1872. 
There was continued excitement In Wall Street 
through the pant week, though less In Money affairs 
than on the Stock Exchange. The speculation ip Erie 
and Pacific Mail Stocks was extremely spirited, and 
the results against the hcnrlsh clique who have 
been operating heavily on the short side of t^uge and 
other Stocks. Roth Stocks were practically cornered, 
or made so difficult to buy. even at the. ndvance, as 
to compel largo private settlements on Eric Stock 
and to force the party to pay an advance of 6®8 per 
cunt, for Pacific in order to cover 1 heir contracts. The 
feeling in the New York and Western Roads, gen¬ 
erally, was better at the close of the week than on our 
previous report. 
in the general Fall trade of the city there is not 
much failing off, although a less business Is usually 
looked for in Merchandise near the first of October. 
The Imports continue large, and the amount taken 
for consumption heavier than in September of last 
year. The Exports of Domestic Produce are on a 
liberal scale, and the Cotton receipts, u ch.of source 
or foreign exchange in the Fall and Winter months, 
arc coming to market frcclcy. Nearly 100,000 bales 
have already come In In excess of the crop of last 
year. The price has given way to 18R@20c. for the 
middling grades. 
Money Is In sharp demand room the Southern and 
Western Banks, to move the crops. These Banks re¬ 
ly upon their New York corresponding Banks to 
re-discount their Bills, receivable In the shape of 
drafts against Grain and Provisions end Cotton 
shipped to New York. They hnve drawn down their 
City balances very close, and our Banks here are un¬ 
able to accommodate them in the usual way. because 
of the heavy falling off on their own Deposit lines as 
compared with last Fall. The movement is now near¬ 
ly 133,000,000 loss on Deposits and $29,000,000 on Loans 
and Discounts. Tho merchants are not pressing in 
their demand* on their Banks for Discounts, though 
a considerable amount of paper finds Its way to the 
Street at 8 to 12 per cent. per annum. 
The price of Gold has been sternly at 1I8%@1U per 
cent, The Excbangenn England Is greatly below the 
Gold shibping point, and Bills on London are selling 
at I07,!iit'.107 percent. The Stock market linen steady

Emigrants as Steerage Passengers. 
The dally papers have sent reporters to Eu¬ 
rope who engaged steerage passage on some of 
the first-class steamers with a view of experi¬ 
encing the kindness and consideration to which 
this class of passengers aro subject. The story 
is told in detail; but it may bo summed up in 
the statement that the treatment emigrants re¬ 
ceive on board the best steamers or the best 
lines is simply outrageous and disgraceful, not 
to say brutal. That men and women will brave 
the discomforts and perils of such a passage t o 
reach this country proves their ignorance of 
what they must endure, or their willingness to 
endure it in order to escape from the thralldom 
society casts about them in the Old World to t he 
freedom of the New. 
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY 
Gen. Geo. W. Cass, the new President, with 
a number of the directors, has gone to the West¬ 
ern terminus of the Northern Pacific Railway, 
to make a personal inspection of the work, and 
thus aid, intelligently. In lt« completion. This 
is a wise step, which will give confidence. The 
road has passed its crisis, and Is rapidly stretch¬ 
ing across the continent. Over 500 m iles a re now 
completed, connecting with steamers on the 
Upper Missouri, creating the best route to Mon¬ 
tana. The line from Columbia River to Puget 
Sound. 75 miles, Is nearly completed. The com¬ 
pany now owns the property of the Oregon 
Steam Navigation Co., which controls tho waters 
of the Columbia Itivor, to the head of naviga¬ 
tion, giving them a line of steam transportation 
400 miles in length. AH of this will pay to op¬ 
erate within t he next year. During the coming 
year the company will build 1150 ml Jos East from 
Wallalu. and an equal distance West from the 
Missouri River to the Yellowstone Valley, which 
will leave only 500 miles through Montana, to 
complete this great road. 
Large numbers of emigrants arc settling on 
the company’s lands, and branch roads arc bo- 
iug built, leading into British America. The 
road will also be tapped from the South by the 
roads leading to St. Paul. During the coming 
season the company will be able to give trans¬ 
portation over 1,000 miles of line. All connect¬ 
ed with the work manifest enthusiasm for its 
completion. 
What Is Nctpoleon Doing? 
A Berlin telegram, dated Sept. 85th, says the 
German Government have stopped the trans¬ 
mission by telegraph of a cipher dispatch of 
four hundred words signed by Napoleon, This 
will scarcely prevent Napoleon communicating 
with whomever he will; but it. illustrates the 
nervousness and distrust which his name oc¬ 
casions amongexistinggovernments in Europe.
