groggery. No woman called on the wife during
their entire stay ; none offered the new corners
little 'neighbourly kindnesses that are so plea-
sant to a stranger—the only tender of hos-
pitality was in the shape of frequent invitations
to take a drink,' the only social gatherings
were held in the bar-rooms, and the end of the
evening's entertainment was often anything but
healthy for the participants, or pleasant for the
other residents of the place." The town to which
they removed was in comparison a paradise, con-
trasting strangely in its churches and schools, in
its being clean, orderly, and cheap. Tasteful
houses, highly cultivated farms, fruit in abund-
ance, every necessary readily procurable, made up
a picture to be placed in juxtaposition. All this
we can easily understand, but what was the cause ?
That is the rub ; and one word supplies the ad-
swer to the satisfaction of our authority—" Cop-
perheadism." ,4 The inhabitants of the former are
some of Governor Seymour's 4 friends,' who still
believe the war a failure, M'Clellan our greatest
general, and who always vote on the same side as
the plug-uglies and Water-street roughs of New
York city. In the latter Grant and Colfax will
have almost the unanimous vote." Who can say
that the wicked do not meet their deserts even in
this world, and that the good are without their
'reward ?

If the Philadelphia correspondent of the Times likes
eating his own words he must lately have had many feasts.
The Times had but published the " dismal prospect" state-
ment a few days ago, when it was followed by this an-
nouncement from its correspondent :—" During the month
of September the public debt increased $1,645,275 80c.,
and since January 1, 1868, there has been an increase of
$1,575,307 33c. A large amount of money, some nine and
a half millions, was paid out of the Treasury during Sep-
tember forinterest. The total sum in the Treasury on Oct.
1 was $110,257,84186c. ($93,891,847 being in coin), as com-
pared with $107,641,971 98c. on September 1 ($92,570,901
in coin). During September the disbursements of the Go-
vernment wore $30,027,731, and were about one million
less than the receipts. The gold in the Treasury, and also
the total sum, show an increase. This exhibit is much
more favourable than was anticipated, and has been grate-
fully received by the country, which has of late got into
the habit of expecting only bad news from the Treasury.
The secreta►y will have no interest to pay out during
October, and as he anticipates less disbursements than
during September, with quite as much revenue, it is be-
lieved that the next debt statement, on November 1, will
show a marked decrease in the total." It will be amusing
to watch him floundering out of his other predictions.
Part of the sea-wall at San Francisco is sliding
out to sea, and we are not surprised at its betaking itself

The chief subjects before the annual meeting of

Chapel, Boston, Wednesday, the 14th, were, besides the

cent Phases of Thought in Political Economy," by Prof.

brought before the meeting : the appointment of a general

tered by a Western organization of kindred purposes.
