why the people sliould turn their eyes upon the
President as the fountain of all power and the
sole arbiter of their fate, To the Democratic
party are we mainly indebted for the state of
things to which we have adverted. 1t has long
been the settled policy of that party aggrandise
the Executive at the expense of the other departs
ments of the government They have taught the
people to rely on the arm of the President for
protection, and to look to him not servant, but
as master. Judging from preliminary mani
festations the spirit of sycophancy and of devo-
ton to the one m power will develope itself
10 an unprecedented extent during the next adj
ministration. The rage for office was probably
never SO widespread nor sorampant as now, and
this carries along with it the necessity of
to all the degrading arts and appliances of court
intrigue and personal fattery.

FUeITIvE SLAvEs.-The Supreme Court of
the United States has recently rendered decs
ion of much importance. 1t is in relation to the
validity of law of the State Of Illinois which
prohibits the harboring and secreting fugitive
slaves, hndering the owner of such slaves in
retaking them. The opinion OF the Court
maintains the right of State to protect itself
from the evils which flow from the introduction
of fugitive slaves, by furnishing those who harbor
and secrete them. Two points were made. 1t
was commended that the Illinois statute was in
conflict with that provision of the constitution of
the United States which requires the rend! tiou
of fueitives from labor, and the act of Congress to
give effect to that provision; and it was further
commended that the statute was void because it
subjects tho delinquent toa double punishment
for the same offence, under the State law
and the other under the net of Congress. The
opinion of the court, overriding these objections
to the State law, is clear and explicit.

PEARL STREET.

Pearl street, in New York. has long been ia
nous for noise, hustle, confusion and business
Once, and only once in our life, have enjoyed
the privilege-pleasure it was not-ot threading
this crowded thoroughfare of Gotham. Tempted
solely by curiosity, threw ourselves into the
popular current one bright Fall morning. and
borne along by the irresistible throng-the
of human beings-at rate fearful now to
contemplate. We went for the purpose of look
Ing into the mode of doing business on this street
to saunter leisurely through it, look in at the
immense stocks through tho windows of the
warehouse, to observe the movements OF buyers
and sellers, aud generally to obtain a fair impress
sion of the nature and extent of the trade OF the
street. But, no sooner had we reached it, than
we found ourself borne along over bales and
boxes, by power over which we had no control.
After running the gnantlet square or two, we
.hot maaiy off into cross street, whore gazed
far minute or two upon the wonderful tide of
human beings which ebbed and flowed unceas
;nolv through Pearl street. As may be naturally
inferred, we have rather confused idea of the
mode oi-daeing business in that street, aud shall
not, therefore, attempt to convey It to others.
Well, we have pearl street. in Richmond
and it is rapidly becoming first rate businas IS
street, to O. butt does not yet compare with its
namesake in Gotham. Give us time, however
complete the Danville Railroad, finish the Dock
connection, erect wharyes South of the Dock and
construct Free Bridge across the river, at he
Southern termination, and adlers will be forced
to fly Pearl street. too No street in the city
has improved so rapidly within few years past;
none is destined to achieve a higher reputation
| for business in the future. Several causes con-
spire to produce this result, aud 1t is thore fore
| inevitable. Within the past three four years
| Mr.. f. W. Fry has erected fine block of
granite front warehouses, extending from Messrs
| Kent, Paine and kent's auction house to Cary
street, and Mr. VIM. BARRETT is now building
five large warehouses the Eastern or OPP
poste side of Pearl street. These buildings
front twenty six feet each, and are from 100 to
$50 feet in depth. They will be four stories
high, and are to be finished in tho most substan-
tial manner The walls below tho street are %
bricks in thickness; the main aud second stories
will be two bricks and the third and fourth stones
one aud half bricks, A sky-ght, thirty feet in
ength and "a in width, will she'd an abundance
of light on each floor. Added to this each store
will be orna mented with massive cast-lron fronts

of the shop through all its stages Of declension.
Through them all the Boy survived, mistaken in
his attachment. The shop might fade, grow
dim, and die, but the Boy never. The goods
might be diminished, the Duke of Wellington
might be sold for whiskey, and his lady-compan-
ions pawn their wigs for mutton-pies; but the
Boy was fixture. There was no pledging away
his devoted, inextinguishable friendship. The
master at last iceat to Cannongste jail say
icef'l, because however otherwise sentimental au-
thors may write, imprlsonmentls with US generally
voluntary act, being designed for an end. The
shop was still kept open, and the Boy attended
it. But every evening did he repair to the dreary
mansion, to solsce his master with the news OF
the day, see after his comforts, and yield up the
prey which, iacka-like, he had collected during
the preceding four-and-twenty hours. This prey,
be it remarked, was not raised from the sale of
anything in the shop. Every saeable article had
by this time been sold. The only furniture was
now pair of scissors and a comb, together with
the announcement, 'Har-cutting Rooms, in the
window. By means of these three things, how
ever, the Boy contrived generally to fleece the
public of few sixpences in the day: and all
these sixpences, with the exception of small
commission for his own meagre subsistence, went
to his master at the Cannongate JAIL Often, in
the hour between eight and nine in the evening,
have they sat in that small dingy Darkroom be-
hind the hall, enjoying bottle OF strong ale,
drunk out of stoneware Misunderstanding over
all their emDarraSSmentS, ana SpeculaIlIlS now TO
get clear of them. Other prisoners had their
wives or their brothers to after them; but
question if any one had, even in these relations
of kindred, friend so attached as the Boy.
AT length, after certain period, this unfortunate
tradesman was evening permitted to walk
away, arm in arm, with his faithful young man,
and the world was all before them where to
choose.
For considerable period, all trace of the at
tached pair is lost. No doubt their course was
through many scenes of poignant misery; for
the only part of their career upon which l have
happened to obtain any light, the Boy was wan
dering through the streets of Carlisle in the dress
and appearance of very old beggar, and singing.
the songs wherewith he had formerly delighted
the citizens of Edinburgh in Johnnie Dowie's, for
the subsistence of his master, who, as ascertain
ed by my informant, was deposited in state of
extreme Indebtedness in low clearinghouse in
the suburbs. Such is the fag-vietim, following
his master
80 the last gasp, with truth and loyalty
and such, may add, are the virtues which some
times adorn the most vicious and degraded walks
of life where, to the eyes of ordinary observers,
there appears no redeeming feature whatever.

Coop PRICE FOR SHAD.-A shad caught in
the Ogechee river by Patrick Cody, and which
weighed lbs, was sold in our market yesterday
morning to the proprietor of hotel in Colum-
bin, South Carolina, for thity six dollars
We understand that the purchaser was in the
market before it was fairly light, and spying the
slad, asked Mr.. Cody the price of it. Being in
formed that it was valued at $40, he closed at
once at that price. In making the change it was
inconvenent at that hour to get at the precise
sum, and the owner of the shad in spirit of Ii
beraty accepted 1886. He sold the balance of his
shad at one dollar piece. 1t is an old saying
that 'the early bird gets the worm In this
case, we think he got the bug, that is to say, the
bug was put on him in the fish transaction.

Prosperity OF THE SoUTH.-The New Or

improved condition Of the Planters OF the South.
1t says: ''The present condition OF the South
in pecuniary sense, is infinitely more favorable
than at any time within the last ten or fifteen
years. AS general thing, abundant crops OF
every description have rewarded the farmer ;
and pleny if not proiuson OF all the neces-
sares, to say nothing of the dispensable Injuries
of life, may be found throughout the length and
breadth of the sayehodng States. Good crops
aud excellent prices have not only enabled most
of our planters to get out of debt, but to make
substantial and important improvements In the
cultivation of their lands and the dverscation OF
their crops. This latter change we consider OF
the highest moments md we have often wonder
cd ut tho strange perversity that led thousands
and tens Of thousands of intelligent men to exert
all their energies, and engage their whole force'

Or THAcKERAY, as lecturer. the press of
Boston do not think SO highly as do most of their
New York contemporaries. The Chronicle, a

disappointment" and adds:
I'VE think the lecturer came up to no ones

said prettily. But as literary performance, the
lecture on Swift did not rise above the average OF
Lyceum lectures in Boston. AS criticism upon
Dean Swift it was most manitestly uni ust.'

They are afterwards reproduced in the newspa-

Iti melancholy fact that toadyism, sycophan-
cy and subsergiency to official station are fear-
fully on the increase ia this country. The time
has been when President of the United States
might sojourn in the country like private gen.
.eman, without the fear of molestation, and when
it was not deemed necessary that the people
should be daily appraised of all his sayings and do
ings. 1t is reasonable enough that mon should
desire to know what President intends to do in
his official capacity, but the morbid craving which
now prevails to great extent in the public mi nd
for mere personal Details is unworthy of an intel
ligent a1d free people. This extraordinary de :
gree of soctude to catch every intimaton of his
purposes, that may chance to fall from the Exc
cutive of the nation argues moreover, an amount
of Difference for his authority and of reliance on
his power which would become monarchy bet
ter than republic. Were the President OF the
United States, like the Gar of Russia or the En-
peror of France, the sole and sovereign ruler of
the people, there would be some sense, reason
and deceucy in watching his every movement and
prying into ali his secret purposes, for upon them
would depend the veal wo of the country
