Prospects Of EsHSi3seSS-snc
Times.

Since the passage of the Tariff bill
better state ofthings has succeeded to the
previous depression in almost every de-
partment Of business. 1t is now consid-
cred that firm basis is established upon
which operations may be conducted with
some assurance as to results. The gener-
al feeling in the community is more cheer
full and lively than i. has appeared to be
at any time within the last few years.
In other Atlantic cities the same re-
newed spirit of improvement is also visi-
Saturday remarks: 'lt may not perhaps
be said that the amount of business trans
actions has been materially increased, but
it is certainly true that more disposition
for business is evinced among all classes.
Confidence in better state of things is
becoming more general, and most bust
ness men begin to feel that we have seen
the worst We cannot anticipate very
large business. nor if it were practicable,
do we consider that it would be desirable.
The means Of the community have been
materially reduced. The circulation Of
the Banks is at a very low point, and al
though they could safely expand, and
would gladly do so, yet an increase CT
discounts must take place with the gcncr-
all restoration Of confidence, and founded
upon the legitimate wants Of the COM
munity."
A gradual return to the full flood tide
oil enterprise and prosperity is to be de-
sired in preference to any sudden move
ments. The country has probably learn
cd some useful lessons upon the nccessi-
ty Of prudence and caution in matters of
business--that there is such thing as
over dong-and that industry and econo-
my, while they constitute the surest means
.or the acquisition Of wealth, constitute
also the best foundation for stable for
tune.
If party politics can be kept from sub
ver,ng the firm foundation now laid for
the establishment of national interests on
the basis of home industry and domestic
resources, the most saiutary results may
be anticipated as time advances and OPP
portunltes are offered for the reSuscita-
ton OF the PROSTATE energies Of the
country.-We hope that party violence
will not be permitted to overthrow this
we'll begun system. The people cannot
fail to sustain it, ifthcy truly understand
the real nature of the issue that is made
upon this question, and begin to realize
the benefits that flow from this domestic
and genuinely American policy.

The Treaty acith TerUs.
The National Intclligcncer of ycsterda

The National Intclligcncer of yesterday
says
Our readers may remember our men.
tioning, some time in the last week of the
last session, that Commercial conven-
ton, concluded between the United States
and Texas, had been laid before the Senate
by the President of the United States for
ratification. We learn, upon inquiry, that
owing to the period at which that treaty
was sent in. il was not practicable for the
Senate to act upon it before adjournment.
1t will come up, of course, among the
first things to be acted upon when thr
Senate is again in session.
We understand that the Hon. JAMES
RELY, Charge d'Atfairs of Texas, be-
tween whom and the Secretary of State
this treaty was concluded, having accom-
plished that desirable object, has resigned
his trust and departed hence on his return
to Texas.

THAT DRUMMlNG.-We have been
requested several times to notice that in
cessant humping kept up every evening
in the Con TT House, 10 the great annoy
ance OF every person in the ncighborhood.
NO one objects to any necessary drum
ming by the military, but the abominable
gathering to be heard nightly, has become
an insutlerable nuisance, and should be
stopped.

THE BRIDGEs.-A gentleman called Mt

call the attention of the sown commissioners to
tho dangerous condition of tko bridge in Beau

some person or horse is lost by their neglect.

Another Retained EsiEE.

Besides the bill to repeal the proviso
in the Land Distribution Act, the Presi-
dent of the United States withheld his
signature from the bill which passed Con
gress prescribing the mode of taking cvi-
dence i'll cases Of Contested EIec,ions.-
Nor did he return it, but kept in in his
hands. BY this retention Of it the bill is
rejected. Such retention is in effect
Veto, without giving to the two Houses
OF Congress the opportunity Of re-passing
the bill; mode Of defeating the will of
the People, as expressed through their
Representatives, even more cXceptionable
thar the simple Veto.
We can imagine no bill, likely to pass
Congress, which the President could have
vetoed with less propriety than this.-lf
there be any one matter with which the
Executive ought not to interfere, surely it
is the organization of the legislative bodies
and the precautions deemed necessary by
them to secure to members elect the exer-
else OF their rights, to preserve order and
dignity i'll the opening of each Congress,
and to exclude from seats therein persons
who have no legal claim to occupy them
To any bill having such objects in view
his signature ought to be considered as a
mere Formally.
OF the necessity Of such precautions
we had sufficient evidence in the case of
the New Jersey election, three years ago,
when the members legally returned were
excluded from their seats, and surrcptitous
members voted in, contrary to law, by
majority created by the exclusion of the
rightful members. For our part, we desire
to see no more such scenes; and we trust
that though this bill has been defeated,
those members of the House of Repre-
senatlyes who are opposed to any
such proceedings will not suffer the very
first day of the next session of Congress
to pass without originating anew bill
TO guard against them.-.National MielH-

made eight years before the Wing predic-

from us i'll our opinion regarding the Can
dldates for the Sherfiality. Words upon
this subject, we consider, thrown away;
his remarks have not altered our impress
sion in the least, and each day strengthens
our belief that the people Of Cecil will
elect Mr.. Foard in opposition 10 a man
whom they say has no claims to Their
votes.
In regard TO that part Of his article
where he calls the Wings a ''sordid and
INSCRIPTIONS faction" advocating the
"doctrine Of humbuggery," and ''dealing
falsely with tie people," we will only say,
that he catches up and echoes the "bandy
words" of the violent and unprincipled
locofoco presses throughout the country,
certainly without having due regard to the
meaning of the terms he uses. The people
who heard through twelve years reign
Of Locofocojsm, repeated promises Of
prosperity, of gold, and of plenty, know
pho have ':dealt falsely" with them
know who have advocated the s'doctrne
of humbuggery," and the working men
and mechanics know who are the "sordid
and INSCRIPTIONS faction" that tried with
their might to bring their wages down to
10 cts per day-the faction who with all
their powers opp oscd the Wings in their
efforts to lay tariff, till thousands of in
dustrious labourers, were almost reduced
to a state of starvation. And now that
the business of the country is reviving, in
consequence of the tariff, which was OPP
posed By Tie ocofocos, and passed By the
UhigS, the editor Of the Democrat need
not suppose that sordid and unprinci-
pied faction can continue to humbug the
people into the be lief that the wings are
their enemies. In consequence Of tbs UNI
firing exertions of the wing members of
Congress, thousands Of persons have got
employment at the different manufactures
within the last two weeks, and through
out many districts of the country new
vigour is already springing up in business,
which bids fair to become general. The
people know it, they feel it,and they
know 10 which party they are indebted,
