MoRE "Aunp-From tho "monsy column" Of

"a comparative statement OF the receipts at the
Philadelphia Office Of the Philadelphia and Colam-

years 1874, ls45, and lo46;

Pennsylvania, presume, would not care how
much Of such "ruin" would beall her.
Again from the same column of the Express
copy still more "runous" fact
"Trade of almost all kinds is actiyei the mer-
chants, anticipating continuance OF hlgh prices Of
grain, and a conssquen, ability OF the FARMERS 70
nav, are laying 10 more goods than they at hrsI
Contemplated The dry-goods people all say they
are doing good business"
oseE MoRG! The Albany Eyoning Journal, I'M
der the head Of "eanal tos"--a third evidence of
"ruin"-says:
"The aggregate amount received for tolls from the
Commencement of navigation TO the Both OF Septem'
Der inclusive, is 81 69I, l65. During the same pc
Rod in lsi5, Sl,753, 100. Increase, sl3SO6o'"
Who does not sec in all this the rapid fulhlmsn
of the whig orebodngs Of the ruin to befa the eoun
try If the new tariff bill passed Congressi A..
On the question of a married womans rights OF
property, the convention 10 back agsin--"as you
were" The article adopted tho other day (giyen IN
my last letter but one) the next day reconsider
ed, and rejeeisd by vote much stronger than that
by which il had been passed. This Is but one OF
many instances OF versatility lately exhibited by the
convention in adopting one day and rejecting the
nsxt-shitngs of position SO frequent, that we can
only attribute them to the haste with which the
great amount of business accumulated TO the end OF
the session has to be driven through.
A numerous and influential meeting Of citizens
WINS held in Tammany Hall tho other evening,
our worthy mayor (Mr. Nickel IN the chair, aided
by the presidents Of the various societies Tor the
protection and rclef Of foreigners. The object was
to procure a change IA the present system OF bond
ing alien passengers, which, as stands Is ineyita-
bly injurious to the emigrant, diSadvantageous to
the city, and beneficial only to the Passenger-bro-
ksrs. The effects Of the proposed amendment will
be (among olhers) to add to the city treasury some
fly thousand dollars yearly-a very considerable
relief to the annual expenses for the support Of pau
pers-and insure TO the alien Pauper at least hu-
name treatment
The letter Of acceptance Of Judge Edwards, the
native candidate for governor, appeared in last eve
nng's Gazette and Times II ia not quite so ultra
as had anticipated though il ia extreme enough
but "lhe party" being hard up for candidate, can
not stay to choose, and has agreed to accept his
acceptanee protesting, however, against being held
as identified with the judges peculiar views on any
other of the many questions treated in his diseur-
siye episte, except the conc dean Of hostility to
foreign influence, on which point the judge, true to
his fsderal-whig instincts is hot and strong ma
tive. But il is for the "Seward- woodland Greeley
clique" in the wing party, that the herces vals Of
his wrath are reserved. He does not hesitate to
charge upon them the betrayal Of Mr.. Clay in this
State in 1874
My friend al the wing meeting the other night
was a prophet. The Livingston Republican,
John Young's particular organ-says, in number
lust come to hand, after observing that Mr.. Young
has been since his nomination delused with letters
interrogaing him az to his views on various ques-
tons Of State poicy--espscially anti-rent-says,'
very coolly:
eve arc authorized TO say, that Mr.. Young has
come to the conclusion respectfully to decline an
swering the letters above alluded to, any other
letters, ihe object of which sha be to obtain for
publication an exposition of his political views,
pledge for future action"
After that, "ask my committee" is perfectly sat-
