LIGHT BREAKING. The banks in New York City are discussing the propriety of resuming currency payments in a few days. They report their currency balances largely in excess of their probable wants with the resumption of the usual course of business. And from the feeling in this city, and all other cities of the West, it is evident that with the resumption of New York, there will be a general onward movement, and the dead-lock of monetary affairs will be removed. Trade will at once take its customary course, and the business of the country will be good. This is a more hopeful situation than many anticipated at the beginning of the week. Perhaps it is mainly due to the fact that the financial lock-ttp did not lock up trade. That has been active in many branches, and while ventures depending upon future returns have been more rarely undertaken, business men have been working close, and getting their houses in order. "We learn on the best of authority that the receipts of currency in the city have been unmsually large the past two weeks, and the express companies have been doing an immense business in that way. Not only have the banks been fortifying themselves; but capitalists of all kinds have been getting in currency, and preparing to breast the storm if one should come, or to take the advan tage of the new state of affairs if business should suddenly open again. The result is that there is an unusual amount of currency in reach, and if the banks take the steps indicated above, this, currency will all be avail able for legitimate business in a short time All steady business Tentures will be sped along with pi enty of money. But there is a lesson in the past which will not be forgot ten in a day, and purely speculative borrow ers will find it difficult to discount their nots. There will not be so much credit on the anticipated rise in real estate; and it is possible that persona who have bought remote lots, without having made provision for the deferred payments, expecting to sell at an advance, will be doubly disappointed While those who have bought what they can pay for, have sure and profitable invest ments in the same sort of territory. Therefore, the immediate future seems to be clear in this : that legitimate business will not be hampered for lack of the usual facil ities for getting money,and that those who ex pected to make something large out of noth ing, will profit but little by resumption and the restoration of judicous confidence. The confidence of the future must have a base of capital. Great expectations will not count as available reserves. Si OUR LOCAL INTERESTS. The manner in which the industrial in terests of the city sustain themselves is most noteworthy. A few manufacturing establishments have cut down their forces, and only a few; and these have only anticipated by a few dajs their usual reduction. Some factories increase their forces largely in the spring, and cut them down in the fall from the middle of October to the first of November. There being no demand for their wares in the winter, it is impossible to keep men at work in November, December and January. They usually begin to fill up to supply the spring demand in February. These tradesmen turn to temporary occupa tions during the winter. The pork season helps hundreds of them out. There has been no dimunitien cf forces in other lines of manufactories. Viewed from the stand point of the factories Indianapolis is sound as any city in the Union, and sounder than many of them. No city of the size in the country has so many business blocks, factories, and dwelling houses in ' course of construction as Indianapolis; and it is a most encouraging fact, that there has been no cessation in the work. This shows that the builders were working on their means, and that there is an actual demand for the buildings under way. A gentleman who wished to rent a house, had as much difficulty in finding one during the past two weeks as was encountered by househunters in the spring. . Our local in terests, therefore, all appear as sound to day as they did the day before Jay Cooke's ex plosion. RISKS EVERYWHERE. According to tradition, one of the stu dents of a leading college expressed a de termination to become an Episcopal minister. As the boy was fast in his living and slow in the recitation room, the astonished Professor wished to know the reasons for his choice of profession. "Because," said the philosopher, "Episcopal ministers read their prayers and marry rich wives." Rev. Alvah Wiswell, of Trinity Church, New York, now makes note that even in this there is not unalloyed felicity. He doesn't mention the prayers, but he makes a statement which implies that in taking up with rich wives some of the brethren get larger crosses than they can conveniently bear. He says that when he married his wife she had property to the value of $58,035. He offers to prove that every change in that property advised and carried out by him has been to the profit of her estate, but that the dissipation of the property is due to her unbounded extravagance, against his wish and remonstrance. He gives the amounts of her bills for ten years, for which he says he can show vouchers, and they foot up over seventy thousand dollars. One year she maintained an equipage costing two thousand dollars, and at the same time incurred an expense of one thousand three hundred and eighty-seven dollars and fifty cents in carriage hire. This gentleman has always devoted his salary to family expenses, and has "run" himself for less than five hundred dollars a year. At the present time,

after paying the rent of Mrs, Wiswall's house, the wages of her servant, and two dollars and fifty cents a day for her support, he has left from his two thousand dollars just sixty-seven dollars and fifty cents. Jlr. Wiswall denies any unhusband-like treatment of his heiress-wife, and, altogether, represents himself to the authorities of Trinity as an abused man. THE. COTTON STATES RAILROAD. At the meeting in Chicago, yesterday, of the friends of the'Northwestern and Cotton States railroad, to be run from Chicago to

Charleston, South Carolina, Dr. Waymon promised that he could, in a brief time, raise another million in the State of Indiana, which would make three millions with which to carry the road to the Ohio river. Which is a pretty good promise to be made just now, when railroad donations are voted with great reluctance. Yet as the road would traverse the full length of the State, it would be of sufficient local benefit to war rant the investment of a million of dollars in it Yet that the meeting was not free from Buncombe talk, appears by the following paragraph in the report of its proceedings: "General Chngman made some remarks, during which he stated that the construction of the road in North Carolina weald be six' thousand dollars per mile. His county. Buncombe county, would and could pay for the rood within her limits. 'General Harrison rembrked that he was author ized by a friend to say that that friend would build thirty miles of the road, free of all cost, from Spartanburg to Butt Mountain Gap." A friend who can and will build, as a do nation, thirty miles of railroad through a hilly country, is a friend indeed. CHIEFS ON TICKET-OF-LEATE. The Indian chiefs Santanta and Big Tree have become ticket of -leave men, on condition that no more outrages shall be perpe trated by the Kiowas and Comanches. These chiefs were duly convicted in the Texas courts for robbery and murder, and were imprisoned by the authorities of that State, their tribes being ostensibly friendly to the Government The Indians have petitioned persistently for their release, and the Indian agents have seconded the motion, so that the Government had really been com mitted by a promise of their release. The Texans, however, were not satisfied, and the release was tardily made. The ques tions of conflicting jurisdiction involved in the matter were not allowed te complicate the case, however, and only the question of the policy of releasing or holding the Indi ans was discussed by the Indian Department and Governor Davis. Should the experi ment fail, and the depredations of alleged friendly Indians compel the Texans to de fend themselves, they will not burden them Belves with big prisoners hereafter. The conviction is strengthening all around that the loan certificate plan of doing business was a mistake; and Indianapolis is to be congratulated on having avoided it. The Chicago Evening Journal of yesterday, says on this subject: The loan certificate plan for relief adopted by the banks of New York, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis, worked well enough while there was a panic, but now the quet Uon come how to get these certificates out of the way and resume currency pay ntents. In New York the problem is in a fairway of solution, the certificates being literally swept Into retirement by the plentiful arrival of currency in the natural course of business ; bnt In Cincinnati and St. Louis the effect Is to keep the currency from coming in ; consequently the banks are In a bad way, and all efforts or propositions thus far made to unlock the financial wheels have failed. Unless these cities shall cut the knot cf their difficulty very soon. It looks as if the worst of their troubles have but only commenced. The wisdom of Chicago's bankers in not adopting the Clearing House certificate plan has now become very apparent. Potter Palmer, whose big hotel wil; open Wednesday, has taken a step which will meet the approbation of the modest class of travelers who are invariably showed up to the roof by hotel clerks, while required to pay down stairs prices. He has graded the prices to positions, as follows : To tran sient guests, parlor floor, $5a day; seco nd floor, 4 50; third floor, $4; fourth floor, $3 50. and fifth and sixth floors, $3. This is correct. There is no reason why the oc cupants of the poor part of a house should pay the same as those who get the pick of its room. The conversion of Chicago is one of the most remarkable events of the age. For years the world has been laughing at the estimate it put on itself, and the papers said this was only proof of universal jealousy but its humility has become so great that it estimates itself at only about one-half what the State Board of Equalization estimates it at The Cincinnati Times Bays that the move ments of gold in the past month would puz zle all the financiers in Christendom to explain. Specie disappears from England it increases here, it increases two million francs a week in the Bank of France, and it is so scarce in Germany as to threaten panic. Louisvillians are enticed to a Sunday excursion by the Courier-Journal with the bright promise that the train will return to the city in the evening in time to attend church or the German opera. That excursion ought to be a success. HASH. The small-pox is raging at Scranton, Penn sylvania. Boxes in the Boston suburban poatoffices cost f 8 a year.

Chicago Evening Journal. It appears that one Clav was arrested in Kane countv for forgery. His ball was placed ac C3,uuu. una rollard came forward to be his bondsman. The Court, as uenaL, inquired Into the solvency of the proposed boo do man. Pollard was put. under oath to testlfv to his own property. He claimed to be the owner of 400 tons of hay In Cllntonville. and a larirn amount, nt real estate, worth, all told. t: 000 to 140,000. That bail bond was signed in June, 1870. The State's Attorney afterward ascer tained, to his satisfaction, that the hay was mortgnged and the bondsman Insolvent. That straw (or hay) ball trick Is very often rlayed, and no action taken in the premises. Hardly a day passes In Chicago without the perpetration of tbis straw-ball Imposition upon the Court. Very rm-ely U an attempt to correct the evil. The Kane County State's Attorney took steps to brine the suspected Pol lard to trial. He was arraigned end convicted. He took an appeal to the Supreme Court, and a new trial was granted on the strength of the Instruction given to the jury by the Judge of the court of original jurisdiction. Judge McAlistcr savs that "It (the instruction) virtually directs the jury to find him (Pollard) guury, u ne swore tnst toe nay was not situated in the village of Cllntonville, although he mtgnt Dave owned it an. bnt It was situated just out of the village." This statement utterly misrepresents the Instruction. The jnry were told to bring in Pollard erullty. If tbey believed that be willfully and falselv swore and stated that be was the owner of 400 tons of hay, situated in the village of Cllntonville, worth $8 per ton, and that the same was free and clear of all liens and incumbrances, or that he, said Pollard, was worth from $35,000 to 140,000 in property, over and above all debts and liabilities, when, In truth and in fact, he owned no hay in said village of Cllntonville, or. If he did own any, the same was Incumbered, or that said Pollard, at the time of said examination, was not worth 135,000 or 140,000, but. on the contrary, was insolvent, and at the time said Pollard made such statement, he knew the same to be false, and he made the same willfully and corruptly." We submit that if it ia not "material" that a bondman swears that he is worth t:i,000 or 140,000 when he is really Insolvent, and he knows it, then there Is no such thing as perjury. The issue was not on the lo cation of the hay, but upon the solvency of the owner of It. A DOUBTFUL VERDICT. iTrom the Independent We have tried hard to read Mr. Lew. Wallace's story, "The Fair God," and have actu ally examined the book page by page, to the end of it. hop log to tind some touch or cnarac ter, some choice bit of description, some apt bit ol philosophy, that sbouid attract our interest and draw it along with the rushing current of rather repulsive Mexican names which label the heroes, heroines and localities of the book. We do not say that the story is without merit, or without probable interest for a large number ol the younger variety of nove readers; for It is wholly a story of action and Incident. It describes the time of Cortes s conquest of Mexico, under the guise of a personal narrative by Fernando de Alva, a Teacucan. It i, in short, a historical novel, and reads like rrescott, amplitted and romanticized. It is full of wars and rumors of wars; of desperate combats and hairbreadth escapes. If George Eliot's novels, for instance, are subjective Actions, Mr. Lew. Wallace's story is purely objective; indeed, we may mage our idea clearer about Mr. Wallace's novel by sav ing that It is completely tho opposite in style, sentiment, and mode of treatment to George Eliot's manner. We are very far from expect Ing or wishing everybody to write like George Eliot, and we make this comparison from the pure desire to illustrate, and not invidiously, We do not, on the whole, admire this novel. If we did, we should doubtless say that Its dash ana action reminded us of waiter ttcutl. SWAPPING A WIFE FOR A HORSE. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Comstock, who took all the prestige of the discovery that bears bis name, ban lota of mon cy, bouses and lands, and he set out to find i loving companion to share his worldly goods with him. A Mr. Carter, living near Cornstock s camp, was poor, but he was possessed of a young wife, and upon the ground that a fair exchange was no robbery tbey made i trade. Comstock gave a horse, valued at $-25, and 1 15 In money, making $300 for the wife; ana to mane me matter sun more o.Damg comstock gave Carter a bill of said of the horse, and Carter gave Comstock a similar document with the usual guarantee that the animal was sound, kind and true, and warranted not to kick In the harness. But the novelty ot a transaction ao revolting to a woman of any spirit soon wore away, and Comstock's wife and money left him about the same time. Soon after she left him Comstock told the writer that be could compel her to live with him If he chose, and in preor. proaucea me dui oi saie. "PEW NO. C8." A Columbia (Pa.) clergyman, while preaching us sermon one ounuay evening, perceived a young man and woman under the gallery in the act of kissing each other behind a hymn book. but did not lose his temper. He d'd not fly into an unseemiy ruge, apa c&u upon tne sexton to rush up the aisle and disband the rioters. Nol he remained calm. He beamed mildly at the offenders over his spectacles, and wh n the young man kissed her the fifteenth tiiaa. he merely broke his eerjnon sort off in the middle of "thirdly," andeflered a fervent prayer in behalf of " the young man in the pink neck tie, ana me maiaen in me Diae oonnet and gray shawl, who were profaning the sanctuary by kissing one another in Pew No. OH." And the congregation said, "Amen!" Then the young woman suddenly pulled her veil down, and tne young man sat there and swore softly to him self, ne aoes not go to enure a as much as he did. - THE FATE OF MORMONISM. A Montana paper congratulates itself that nature intends ultimately to settle the Mormon question. Salt Lake, it says, has no outlet. and receives the waters of a dozen rivers. It is now fully twenty feet higher than when the Mormons nrst settled in the valley. It is constantly rising. Some of these days it will mane a little extra exertion and float of! the Mormon population. All this Is plausible enough if Brigham Young doesn't build an ark oerore ne ales. SNOW IN NEW YORK STATE.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE IX THE EXECUTIVE MAN SION DURING THE SUMMER. (.Washington Chronicle. 1 The park Immediately in front of the Execntive Mansion is being most beautifully laid out in waiaa ana garaen piaia. it is to De planted with rare flowers, and will be a lovely spot when finished. The removal of fie iron rails on either side of the walks leading to the mansion adds much to the beauty of the approach to the building. Inside the residence the art of the fresco painter and upholsterer has been broughtfinto requisition, and the interior of the building will soon present a very handsome appearance. The East room is being rapidly completed, and will soon be ready for the sofas. The general appearance of the room has been greatly changed. The ceiling has been divided into three large panels, each one being about twenty-five feet wide, and extending across the room. The dividing lines of these oanela consist of Immense girders, supporting the floor above. These girders rest upon dated columns and pilasters placed upon either side , of the room with ornamented pedestals. Around the room an attractive cornice has been put up of stucco work, about four feet In depth, which also covers the girders. This stucco is finished in blue and gold. The general style of architecture is of pure Greek; and that portion of the White House when completed will compare favorably with the interior of any of the new pablic buildings. The middle panel of the celling will be so shaded In the frescoing as to resemble a dome, and will appear much higher than those upon either side. Around the room, extending up about three feet seven inches from the floor, dado work is now being put on, consisting of heavy panels, which will also be finished In white and gold. Above this work the walls are covered with embossed paper, Imported from England for this purposethis paper is finished with an elaborate bordering at both bottom and top, much ot which will be gilded. Four ttlahorately-carved mantels are now being made In Boston, and will soon be put in place, two upon each side of the room. Above these mantels there will be large there will be still larger mirrors, extending iiuiu incuDur to me ceiling, me, work will be completed by the first of December. THE INDIAN SCARE. IDenver (Col .) News, 7th . Denver was thrown Into a violent state of excitement on Saturday night by the statement hat a large band of Indians in fully bent on mischief, were in posaeselon of several stock ranches on and near the line of the Kansas Pacifio, in the vicinity of River dcuu. i ue operators on tne line sent several exaggerated statements, which were at once wagmtiea Dy lD apprenensionsol a large number of stockmen who were in thn rim Th applied to the Territorial authoritiea for arms and ammunition, which were promptly issued. An attempt was then made to get out the Denver 8couts, but it was impossible, owing to the lateness ot the hour and the unyielding determination of the stockmen to reach the scene of depredations by day light, with a special train which had been chartered. Mr. O.ney, ot the AVk. who accompanied the train, and returned yesterday, asserts that the only outrage perpetrated wure the takiBg of a fow pounds of sukjar from one ranche, tid the killing of a couple of chickens, whoso wings they cut olt Their Saturday night's camp, which was found, contained some emblem ot peace. Hq man had been murdered; no stocs killed. The scare ia simply ridiculous, BIRD FLOWERS. In tho middle of the space occuyied by Braail at the Vienna Exposition Is a large standing case filled with stuffed birds of the brightest plumage, and flowers made of feathers in bouquets and wreaths of the richest color conceivable. Here ia a flower of seven petals, a bud or two, and leaves along a banging stem. Alas! every petal, every bud and leaf is made of the breast of a golden-throated humming bird. So brilliant and yet so cruel, who could wear them with pleasure? One could as 6005 relish nightingales' tongues There are many ot the, flowers made out of a variety ot humming birds' nests. No material half 60-ricb or so wonderful in color could be found for thla purpose. The gold, or green, or blue upon the breast of cse of theae tiny creatures is only a spot surrounded with a very dark oalor; these are so shaped that each petal and leaf takes the bright spot and the border upon the edge of dark, making a flower very rich, but not so very beautiful: indeed, not at all so, when one thinks of the twslve or fifteen bright birds that Once glanced in the sunshine, aud now represent a very unnatural flower, UNPRKCIDSNTEI PROSPERITY. fHW York Times, October 8.1 The exports of domestic produce and miscellaneous goods from this port during the week ending yesterday reached the enormous amount of t3,S7S,13Q pjobablp the largest single week's export business ia this line ever credited to. the port.
