WIL3IINTON, N. C.
Saturday
September 20th, 1873.
Wk return our thanks to our friends
for their many kind words of encour
agement received the past month, and
for so many new subscribers. We axe
always happy to receive either. The
Post is steadily growing, and if it con
tinues increasing in patronage in the
same ratio for the next sixty days as it
lias in the past sixty days, we expect to
enlarge it. We shall not do this, how
ever, merely to make a show, but to ac
commodate our increasing business.
Until a change is absolutely needed, it
will not be made. The people arc ac
customed to sec our little Evening Dai
ly come to them every afternoon, and
we hope it comes a welcome guest. It
certainly goes out from the press, v.ith
kindly feelings to all, even to those who
read it without paying for it. On this
point we differ from many of our breth
ren of the press. Although we of course
prefer to sec all jmen who read the
paper subscribe for it, yet if they feci
they cannot afford to pay for it, we are
always glad to have them read it. They
will thus find much that is beneficial to
them, and may gain information by
which they can increase their worldly
store, and be, in time, able to pay for
.their paper. Who knows?.
Jay Cooke & Co.
The suspension of this firm has caus
ed a thrill of excitement through the
money market of the world, because of
the high character of the gentlemen
composing the same, and the immense
business transacted. When we saw the
announcement of papers remote from
the financial centres, that the failure
was caused by gold speculations, we
were convinced the statement was erro
neous, but preferred to wait for official
intelligence. We print the National
Republican 'if remarks on the failure, be
lieving them to be nearer correct than
any wc have seen. It will be seen that
the attempt of the firm to carry the
.Northern Pacific has been their ruin.
They are not the first banking house
ruined by other railroad speculations.
The Republican, editorially, says :
The failure was,
it seems, caused by immense transac
tions in the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, and in other companies con
nected with it. Notwithstanding the
immense gianto and concessions it ob
tained from the (iovernment, the enter-
nnsc has been lrom the beginning a
1 v.
failure. Its bonds have never obtained
even a foothold in the money market;
but the firm, with its immense resources
and a justifiable pride in its own strength
and nowcr. determined to carrv it to
success. The result is told in our dis
patches this morning. The house has
failed, and its failure is a very great
misfortune. At the present writing it
is not possible to estimate the losses of
the firm : but there is reason to believe
that they arc not so large as is popular
ly believed. Wall street is the best and
surest commercial index of the feeling
of the moneyed classes, and, as will be
seen by our reports from New York,
there has been no substantial variation
in the quotations of the leading stocks.
The fluctuation in gold, not withstand
ing the efforts to "bull" the market,
was comparatively trifling not more
than the average fluctuation almost ev
ery day in the week for years past.-
Scvcral of the fancy stocks are " off'
but the decline is attributable to causes
entirely outside of the suspension. All
these facts go to show that while the
failure created a temporary panic in
New York and in other cities among
the speculative classes, it did not touch
the solid business and commercial com
munity ; that there is no reason what
ever why public confidence should be
shaken in the stability of our bauking
institutions.
lhc wild rumors of the street prove,
when investigated, to be without the
least foundation in fact. If the losses
arc no larger than eight or ten millions
of dollars and there is no reason to
suppose that they arc it is compara-
4? 1 ' A It ? A A -v
iiveiy a inning matter, uniy a year
ago wc saw eighty millions of dollars
swept away in a single night in the
Boston fire, bo far as the business of
the country is concerned it had no per
ceptible influence. The moral effect of
the failure is the worst aspect of it. It
scans strange that a house so old, so
well established, so atroag in all its re
lations, should suspend ; but when the
immense obligations which it undertook
to carry arc taken into consideration, it
pan hardly bo a mutter of urpric.
During the last few years there has
been entirely too much speculation, es
pecially. on the part of some! of ur
leading bankers. Jay Cooke & Co. un
fortunately yielded to the temptation,
and they have been swept away in the
current. They were so strong and so
confident that they undertook of them
selves and by themselves to carry out
the most gigantic enterprises, enter
prises which would tax the strength of
a Government even as strong as our
own. But in their fall it is to their
honor that they alone are the sufferers.
The Northern Pacific disaster does net
involve any material, loss to anybody
excepting to themselves, i Their sus
pension is one for which they need not
blush. The latest information on the
subject is to the effect that the pending
trouble is only temporary, and that the
firm will resume business in a few days
an expectation which it is to be hoped
will be realized.
Jay Cooke & Co. History of the firm
Foundation of the Different Hou
ses. The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. consists
of Jay Cooke, Henry D. Cooke, W. G.
Moorehead, H. C. Fahnestock, Pitt
Cooke and J. H. Garland.
There are four banking houses under
he control of the firm the present bank,
which was established at Philadelphia
in 1858 by Jay Cooke and AV. G. Moore-
head; tne Washington orancn, wmcn
was founded in 1862: the New York
branch, organized in 1S66, and the Lon
don house, established in 1871, under
the immediate supervision oi Hon. Hugh
McCulloch. formerly Secretary of the
Treasury, and Col. J. II. Puleston.
7
Pitt, Jay and Henry D. Cooke are the
sons of the late Hon. Eleutheros Cooke
who represented the Sandusky or Huron
district in the House of Representative
in 1833 '34.
Pitt Uooke. the oldest brother, was
engaged in commercial business in San
dusky, and subsequently was connected
witn tne rnnaueipnia DanKing uouse,
as it agent lor the location or land war
rants in the West, in which the firm
were largre dealers. He afterwards be
came connected wTith the New York
house, of which he is still a member.
Jay Cooke, the senior partner oi the
firm, left Sandusky in 1840, when about
eighteen years of aire, and entered as a
clerk in the broker's office of E. W.
Clark & Co., of Philadelphia, of 'which
he afterwards became a member, and
retired therefrom with capital of about
$250,000, then considered quite a large
fortune.
Henry D. Cooke was educated at the
college in Meadville, Pa., and in 1845
went with his brother-in-law, W. G.
Moorehead, who, was appointed consul
to Valparaiso, Chili, speculating Largely
in flour for the San Francisco market in
1849. and subsequent years.: While in
San Francisco, and largely engaged in
business, he was a heavy depositor with
Palmer, Cook & Co., bankers, and lost
all his accumulated wealth by their
failure. In 1853 he edited and publish
ed the Sandusky Register, and in 1858
he went to Columbus and purchased a
controlling interest in the Ohio Male
Journal, conducting both papers with
marked ability until the election of Mr.
Chase to the Senate of the United
States. In 1861 he came to Washington
with Mr. Chase, and when that distin
guished statesman was appointed" Sec
retary of the Treasury ho designated the
firm of Jay Cooke & Co. to place the
seven -thirty bonds--a patriotic task
which was successfully fulfilled by Hen
ry D. Cooke, as agent of the firm, which
was largely instrumental in maintaining
the credit of the country-in its darkest
and most trying days.
Probably no banking firm in the Uni
ted States was better known or more
confided in, both at home and abroad,
than that of Jay Cooke & Co. Their
credit, their honor and integrity were
never impaired or impeached ; land
hence the present suspension, although
it is hoped and believed to be only tem
porary, will startle the wholo country
and fijl all hearts with regret. National

It appears that of 317 Senators and Rep
resentatives only about 87 are graduates
of Colleges. As to States, savs the
Nation " the most notable is North Caro
lina, for six of her "nine members arc
college men, which is the highest pro-j
portion to be found in Congress), and
all of them are graduates of her State
University. New York has nine out of
thirty-three: Pennsylvania, six out of
twenty-six; Ohio five out of twenty-one,
New England is not much better having
less than half; and tcnStates, extending
in age from Maryland and Delaware to
Texas and Nevada, have not a single
graduate. As between the North and
South and the East and West, not much
can be said, for North Carolina and Ne
braska arc the only States which come
up to the proportion of two-thirds."
