V7e begin to Lelltve in ths idrftAli ate reBtltnption of specie payment. It id idle and useless to werry along on promises to pay any longer. Let us have a substantial bottom, to begin on. This panic makes it tssible, and we skull hereafter go in for a straight out specie resumption. Greenbacks for "yvllow boys even up. That's the policy. The grertt Mass Meeting at Weeping Water was a fizzle, if we may believe the words of very disinterested spec tators. A lady visiting there from Chicago, who saw both gatherings al lows that the Republican delegate jtfeeting was more liRe a Mass Meeting by two to one. A number of citizens Of Weeping Water" sat down the mass meeting at about half the size of the Republican delegate meeting. People's morel OhOs ha, ha, ha. "Three-fourths of the farmers of Ill inois," says the Rock Island Union "have always affiliated with the Re1 publican party, and there is where their party sympathies and affections lie to so crose a degree that Jthe efforts' of a whipped, def duct, and irresponsi ble body of Democrats and Liberals to cany thelrl in antagonism must sig nally fail. They do not propose to as sist in destroying their own party, that played out Democratic jtoiiticians may kick uj their heels over its ruins." PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY. It is the expressed desire of M r. Wm. B. Porter, Master of the State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry .thathe Grangers of Nebraska, take no active part in polities this fall: but support the men who favor the working classes and op position to monopolies, by acts as we.!l as word3. The above card, in large type, r.i peared in the pet organ of our worthy master, about July 27th. last. It was followed by a long letter, strongly ad vising the Grangers to keep out of and above politics. No words of ours are neoessarj- to point out the impropriety of the Master of the State Grange al lowing himself to become a candidate this fall on either side, and especially after a good, sound, honest man, to whom there is ho Valid objection, was already in the field. THE PANIC. Of course the financial panic is the topic of the week. It has placed poli tics in the background, run local news into the fence, and absorbed every other interest, eVen to the high price of potatoes. We announced the fail ure of Jay Cooke & Co., La our last week's issue. Since that time, almost every bank of prominence in the United States has closed or suspended payment, partially. Our telegraphic and news columns give the particulars of the late panic. Editorially, we draw the following conclusions: It M as caused by over speculation in rail road securities, by the bad habit of building railroads oh the monies ob tained from the sale of bonds, and only expending the half of that in the actual work of the road, and, further more, by attempting to build roads from nowhere to nowhere, in the hopes that somewhere it would strike ile, and a town or county of sufficient ca pacity to support half a railroad, would spring up and make business enough to pay the interest eu tho bcnd3. Its effects have been to temporarily close up all channels of business, stop, for a short time, the shipment of cat tle, grain and produce of all kinds, and to greatly reduce the amount of mer chaiulise purchased in the west for the fall trade. Its final results will be to benefit all towns and countries having a railroad already built, tuul at their doors (ex cept along the line of ihe Northern Pa cific) to make us more careful about our expenditures, as individuals, and teach our banks to be more careful in loaning monies. One of tho results of the late money panic will be to make coal cheaper. Railroad building for some time has been so extensive that all the great iron works have turned their attention to making railroad iron, and the amount of coal used was enormous. From this time on iron men will have to turn their attention to other branch es of work, and the effect will be to cheapen agricultural implements, and to lessen the consumption of enor mous quantities of coal. Both these results will be for the benefit of the west. Again; our National banks that come out of the fire all right will be strengthened and upheld after this, they being the safest depositories for money. As mntters have been going private bankers were enabled to pay a small amount of interest on deposits, while the National bbks were not The result was that private banks re ceived the largest deposits, nd in or der to even the thing up National banks, in some instances; loaned their money more recklessly to railroadmen and large speculating corporatiwi., on stock and bond securities, at a higher rate of interest than they could or ougM to obtain from the farmer and the merchant, doing a slow but legiti mate business. Those of the National banks who survive this ordeal will be careful how they try that game again, while the plain fact that the National banks are the safest in time cf trouble, will increase their deposits, and thus allow thern to loan the money at home on good real estate mortgage or bona fide business paper,- although at a some what lower rate ot interest, perhaps, ?vml thus the country will be benefitted instead of large speculators. Lastly It may help Jts all to rfttorn to more economical ways and a safer and slower way of getting rich. It may satisfy the farmer that wiping out towrvs fml rniddT.3 men will not in crease tho price of his grain; and trades rrien and mechanics that rifefely high prrces and high: wages do not coati tntS prjtfpsrfty.' It may rrfdtfee Cotx- -V"-,--,-rrgirTr vwam better purposes and vrill certainly edu cate all our people in financial matters. When the great iron furnaces are closed and many coal miners are out of work, when other trades feel the effects, and many poor go hungry and naked( per chance it may convince a few that strikes do not inefCase the sum total of human happirieiH and that it is better for capital and labor to work together harmoniously, and on sucli terms as each can statid, than to cut off noses to spite faees, on either hand. Mean while, the West, our West, is full of grain. The farmer has plenty of hogs and cattle on UaHd, and can never starve nor want for a home; and while the market is temporarily stopped, and he has no sale for either, he will have leisure to reflect fully on the real ad vantages and disadvantages of rail roads, and frame fair regulations for his owrt benefit, without trying to crip pie legitimate means of transportation. As the whole world wants the farm ers1 cattle, hogs and grain, 113 may rtst in peace, assured that but a short time will elapse bfefore those fearful fellows, the middle men, and the speculators will have found a way to get .it theiri again, and the little folks ,-nd the women can once mofii ehjdy store tea, store sugaf, and store clothes. This panic, like a good thunder storm, has only cleared the financial atmosphere. If we go to" work on ccflnmon sense methods, w:e shall soon see a season of plenty again. "AFTER FARMER PAINE. A letter in regard to some financial transactions of Captain Faiiif-'s has been handed the IIekAld, iUitl the fai-ts therein, endorsed by a mlmVer of lendinrr citizens. Ca:. Paine makes an explanation of the uVitter, that at least puts a different face On the affair; while it tWbd riot satisfactorily account for all the charges contained in tho let- tef, it places it in the light ofa private" hiiFinpss transaction. The bUsi'nr-ss integrity of individuals, i3 too delicate a subject for a newspaper to toileh ex cept in clear cases of swindling. Thcte" is another matter however In regard to this man, that the Herald feels free to comment on. It i3 currently re ported and vouched for by good men, tlvat the said Paine is constantly making charges against the business management and financial integrity of one of oiir best known and oldest citi zens, and a candidate for County Com missioner. Not only that, but he is striving and trying to stir up bad blood between the city and county, by assert ing that M. L. White is pledged to build a Court House beFe if elected, and that he can some way help the town in railroad matters, to thedisad vantage of the country. In the first place, the charge is idle and silly, for whatever may be said of M. L. White, ne one accuses 1dm of being a fool (that is more thart can be said of Paine) and no man above the capacity of a Painful idiot would pledge him self to any such a course, on the eve of a nomination. We most unhesitating ly declare all charges of the kind against M. L. White to be false, and the men that made them Tcnow them to be false. No pledges of any kind were asked or received of M. L. White, by any Citi zen of this town, and he was nominated solely on his financial record, hereto fore. Under the" management of the Paine style of men, our city .is fast be coming bankrupt, and we earnestly de sire to keep the county from falling into the same pool. For these reasons and none other did the Republicans, by and with Ihe good wishes of many Democrats, nominate Mr. White. Wise men have been trying for some time to allny and conquer this feud be tween town and county ,and in the pres ent juncture one would think that no good citizen would foment any more difficulty in this line. We are" rinding out, day by day that we are both .nec essary to each other, that the country stands or falls together. You cannot ruin the cities and leave the country unscathed, nor wnmg the country and leave .the cities unlmrmed. Their ad versity or prosperity are in common.-' The man thai would help to widen the breach between this place and the rest of the county, at this time is a traitor to his country's best interests, and an unscrupulous trickster at heart. If Paine is doing this it is a work of double ingratitude on his part, that ought to earn him infamy forever; for to the citizens of this town he owes all he is, and the little thre is of him has been harbored, fed and and kept alive Iry the misguided and mistaken kind ness and vote3 of the citizens of the town of Plattsmouth.

Its first department, Miscellany t is selected mostly from leading English periodi cals.

For the Herald. Some idea of the rapidity of spreading of the llaroes cart be the Had when it is stated that the Fire Brigade, supported by some ten or fifteen tirous and men, women and children, who were in the city biiyirig goods of the celebrated firm of Reed Brothers, who, having jUSt opened a large stock of first class Dry Goods, were, with their corps of gentlemanly clerks, straining every "nerve to wait Upon their cus tomers. The entire multitude grabbed buckets, pails, wash dishes, and other vessels too numerous to mention, and rtevr to the numerous wells and cisterns throughout the city, which were lucki ly supplied with good and efficient pumps, lately put iri by Woods, Flem ing & Co., which they sell cheap. But all they could do was to keep the fire from .speading through the city. Cinders, sparks and brands of fire were hurled through the air by a grtle of wind that was blowing then: Borne brands were carried as far up as Sycar more avenue, and fell in the tear of tlr2 First Congregational Church, but by the efforts of the Faster" and his de voted family the fire did not spread over more than fifty or sixty acres of the public Parks. Treat's Park suf fered most, but by 4 o'clock the fire was considered Under subjection, and the crowd returned, loil-worn, to their business-. All is again quiet. Our financial standing is not disturbed by the great crisis, our banks not having susiended payment, although there has been a heavy run upon them, they still shell out thd roeks to the great satisfaction Of the deiMisitors. They are safe--they sire grounded upoa a solid foundation. The anti-mongrel Convention con vened and put in nomination a ring-streaketi-and-speckletl-ticket More anon. Your Special Correspondent, , Quick Time. SENSELEsT.iA?J? From the New York Daily Bulletin. Wednes day morning. September 21, 1873. It is high time the public recovered their reason. The panic has infinitely exceeded any real occasion in the situation of affairs. With the exceptibn of an undue ex pansion in the faliioad interest on which the panic ha3 already done its wSrst the crisis has found everything sound. Of the important banking failures that have occurred, not one firm or institution has proved insolvent. The Union Trust company, allowing for the defalcation, will be abundantly able to liquidate its deposits. The National Trust company shows a good surplus of 1,100,000. Fisk & Hatch have a magnificent surplus over their liabilities, and carl resume immediately on the recovery of confidence. Jay Cooke & Co., though seriously embarrassed by advrintvs to the North ern Pacific, have large wealth, and with time, can pay ever thing in full, even if their Northern Pacific assets have to be thrown overboard. Henry Clews & Co., showed remark able strength in not-suspending until they had paid $1,250,000 of deposits; and their remaining assets will far more than provide for their unpaid liabilities. Their suspension must be only temporary. Tho bank of the commonwealth will be able to pay every dollar to its de positors, and return to its stockholders most of their-investment. Two other banks upon which there was a persistent run for two days, have stopped the drain by paying tVerj' legitimate dem.nd. These suspended firms, holding de posits to the amount of fully 622,000, 000, have been compelled to close their doors entirely from a senseless run, and in face of tbe- fret "tiki! they were abundantly able to pay every dollar of indebtedness. There has not been one bankiiig or comercial failure caused by insol vency. The panic then tho severest known for sixteen years instead of develop ing rottenness, has proved the excep tionally strong condition of the bank ing interest. The crisis has tested lite merchants by depriving theiri of baiik facilities for six days,- and yet all stand firm the mischievous rumors of yesterday notwithstanding. Was panic ever more groundless or reckless? It has not a shadow 6f justification in the facts of the fmncial and com mercial situation.

Wall and Broad ami Ncv streets, in front of several entrances to the Stock Exchange, were tfowded this morning, as the hour of opening approached. When the doors were thrown open near ten o'clock, dealers and specula tors rushed in, filling the floor of the Exchange and visitor's gallery. Mem hers closed round the president's desk, cheering vociferously and waving hats. Promptly at 10 the president rapped to order, and at once all became silent. He then spake to them" as follows: "We have met again after suspension for the purpose of re'siiming business.
