New Youk September 15. Detectives will start for San Fran cisco in a few days to bring Irving, the self-accused Nathan murderer to this city. The press announces the failure of the Electric Life Insurance Company, with a deficiency of nearly 100,000. To-day's Tribune says editerially: Governor Stanford, President of the Central Pacific railroad, seems to be a very candid man. In the contest which has just closed in California, the newspaper organs of the railroad constantly asserted that railroad af fairs Avcre not in the slightest man ner involved; that the only question was as to the fitness of the legislative and other candidates. Now, how ever, railroad magnates harrangue their workmen and tell them the State election has been carried against them. This is pretty plain talk, and people will ask how it hap pens that a great corporation, enrich ed by subsidies from the National Treasury and born under an act of Congress, assumes to control the elec tion of members of a State Legisla ture. Washington dispatches say that a member of Congress, who was a member of the Banking and Curren cy Committee of the last Congress, states that he shall advocate a system in the next Congress which will per mit unrestricted free banking, condi tional onlv unon adequate bonded security for circulation. He believes banking under some condition of ad equate security should be as open to competition as any other business. Clinton L. Merriam, another mem ber of the same committee, expressed like views, with the addition of the control of redemption. v The member of Congress first alluded to states that the banks will oppose any consider able increase of National Bank cir culation, and a corresponding with drawal of greenbacks under such cir cumstances would so hasten the ne cessity of the redemption of National Bank notes as to utterly destroy the present profits of the National Bank circulation. The Times says Father O'Farrell, pastor of St. Peter's Church, inform ed his parish, on Sunday last, that he wished to retract anything dictato rial he may have said to them dur ing his canvass of the parish for pu pils for his new parochial school. The Times adds, "This action of Father O'Farrell is said to have been the re sult of an intimation from author ities of the Catholic Church, that the extreme measures resorted to by him, are not approved. The Com- I'ailnre of Jay Cooke fc Co. Philadelphia, Sept. IS. The great firm of Jay Cooke & Co. has suspend ed. A crowd is now collected around their place of business. New York, Sept. 18. Jay Cooke & Co. announce their suspension in con sequence of large advances made to sustain their Philadelphia house, and the heavy drain made upon their own deposits. Chicago, Sept. 18. Private dis patches from New York confirm the failure of Jay Cooke c0 Co., but do not state the extent or paticulars of the failure. New York, .Sept. IS. There is great excitement on the street in conse quence of the announcement of the failure of Jay Cooke & Co. The question generally asked is, "who next?" Stocks begin to tumble gener ally, caused as much by apprehen sions of the future as by the exciting condition of affairs. Prominent op erators in Wall street attribute the suspension of this firm, not so much to the efforts to sustain the Philadel phia house, as to operations in the Northern Pacific Eailroad, which, it is said, they sought to carry be yond their s'rength. It is expected the Life Insurance Company with which Jay Cooke & Co. are connect ed, may have to go under. It is said that Jay Cooke lost large sums in the recent gold movement. Some say they are unable to make any further statement, save that they expect to resume business in a short time. There is a general breaking of stocks of from one to ten per cent, under the rush to sell. Great excitement continues. The excitement was intense at the stock exchange at 3 p. m.

Washington, September 16. Admiral Pennock, commanding the North Pacific Squadron, reports that he has had several friendly talks with the Alaska Indians. Many chiefs visited the ship. They seem to be impressed with the importance of being on good terms with the Uni ed States. There are only a few American traders at the quarters in the vicinty, and no settlement except at Sitka. The Admiral visited Sitka, and remained seventeen days; dur ing three-fourths of which time there t . mi... ..1.-.4-t. was a neavy ram. jliiu pujmnuiuii has much decreased, and there has been a great falling off in trade. Ex clusive of the garrison, there are not more than three hundred inhabitants; mostly Russians and 'half breeds. For some years past, there has been bad blood between the Stickeen and Chilicot tribes, and when at Etalia harbor, Almiral Pennock was solicit ed by a Stickeen chief, to use his good offices in bringing about a re conciliation. The Admiral talked the matter over with the chiefs of the Chilicots, whom he found ready to burv the hatchet. Mr. I.
