HlGHLY DlsCREpIrABLE-PoLITTcAL FORCE
RIEs.-The Aurora Of the previous week,
contained call for Il meeting to be held on
Marietta Street, in the Third Ward, last
Friday evening
Amongst the names attached to that ca |,
was that of William Ruth, Esq, a highly
intelligent GermanWhig. We are requested
by Mr.. Ruth, to say, that he neither placed
his signature to that paper himself; nor au-
thorized any other person to do it. He
further says, that, he is entirely satisfied
with the Wing party, and expects to remain
with it,
One or two others, whose names appear
to the call for that meeting, have also, as
surcd us that, they had never authorized any
such use Of their names.
The wire pulcrs of party must be hard
pressed, indeed, when they are compelled
to resort to little lorgeries of this sort to in
duce tho people to meet together by TWEEN
TIES or FoRTrEs to listen to harrangues.
Desperate indeed, must their condition be.
But, it will avail them nothing. On the
contrary; 1t must react upon them, and
leave them in even still, worse situation.

BrnyINe NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. o.

BrRSING CoNvIcTIoNs.--Speaking Of
Scott's nomination, the Statesman says:--
I'VE make the assertion from burning
conviction of its truth, that the real fact is,
that The Prime LEADERS, Of whiggery, backed
by the mllionaires of Wall street and the
bankers and monopolists Of the country,
have become tired Of a government Of the
people, and would prefer military despo-
lism."
And we make the assertion from a burn-
ing conviction of its truth, that the Statesman
has published a fulsehood, knowing it to be
such; for in the very same paper it publishes
letters from these same "millionaries oil
Wall street" complaining bitterly of the
nomination. The fact is notorious that the
people nominated Scott aganstth wishes Of
these very men. Why will the editor ofthe
Statesmdn, now approaching that Great
Judge who hates fGlsohood, still persist in
bearing false witness aganslhis neighbor!

On the 10Th, while driving team on the

and saw the man, German, apparently life

He was drawn up, but exhibited no signs of

limbs. BY constant hard rubbing and

Families formally in easy circumstances

to appease their hunger and prevent starva-

exaggerated, but authenticated by the official

FOREIGN IMPORTS OF lS52.-The fiscal
year, which closed on the 3Oth nlt., it is
thought, will exhibit an import trade less by
eleven & quarter millions Of dollars than
during the preceding year. There has been
a falling off in the mportations ofdry goods
at New York, the receipts OF which port
frmo the basis for this supposition, of more
than eleven per cent, compared with the
year before. The falling Off in dry goods
was wing in part to the cheaPcning of cot
ton fabrics, aud in part to the very poor re-
turns to importers and c6hsigning rnnhufac-
turers the past fall. The general merchan-
die column has been kept up, and slightly
increased by reason Of the demand for for
eign sugars, coffee, teas and railroad iron.
The total receipts at the Philadelphia Gus.

current year sum up S 1895, ,233 OS, against
81 $50, ,l39 IS for the same period last year.
