A Valparaiso letter of 14th April saws

A heavy failure has occurred since the month
commenced The house of Soruco Brothers
the principle Bolivian merchants, in Valparaiso
stopped few days ago. liabilities stated at $500
600 have been informed, however, that the
creditors accepted their paper for rs per cent
at 5 mouths and settled the business The
loss tails almost entirely upon the foreign resi-,
dents. The cause ofthe failure is said to be the
prohibition ofexports lately by the President OF
Bolivia, and the present war between that Re-
public and Peru.
No movements of note in copper or copper ores

A JOYFUL MEETING.-We clip the following
incident.connocted with the late railroad collision.
from the Aurora Guardian:
"A resident of our place, Mr.. Scraford, was
expectinga son home from Michigan. On receipt
OF the news of the collision he posted off immedi-
ately to Chicago. Arriving there. he found that
the dead had all been buried One unknown young
man was described. The dress, color of his hair,
age and size, tailed with remarkable precision. A
pocket-book taken from the unknown body was
produced; it was the boys. The father returned
home to tell the story to other aching hearts, but
failed to see the body. Next day he returned
again to Chicago, and while in search of the coro-
ner met his own son in the street alive and we'll!
On comparing pocket books such was the SINH
larty that it was hard to distinguish one from the
other The joy of that meeting may be better
imagined than described. Young Scrafford had
been to Michigan tor trees, and would have re-
turned in the unfortunate train, but too late to ge
on board"

The present scarcity and consequent high price
of CATTLE is attributed to the numerous herds that
are being driven over the plains to California. A
recent statement shows that from one county in
Missouri 5000 head of cattle were about to be
started for Oregon and California. There is no
doubt, hsweyer, that spectators have also taken
advantage of the scarcity to raise the price to an
exorbtant rate.-Ba[tinore American

He will probably, however, fail to disavow pub

The Union says the operation of the Sub

to apply to the United States, aud not tn
transfers and disbursements for account of the
United States abroad, hut where it finds anv dis
tinction Ill the above law we are unable to see.-
1t alludes to the Inconvenience and DELAY which
would attend the shipment of coin abroad but
we do not see that there would be any greater in
convenience or delay in shipping coin by one of
the mail steamers to London than in sending it
to St. Louis, New Orleans, Santa Fe, or Oregop.
If the United States require 500, 900 for diplo-
matte expenses al London, the Treasury Depart

afforded by their mere signature; but if the
Treasury requires 100000 at Charleston or
New Orleans. the Subtreasury law, according to
the Union, prohibits like course, and the on
ly legal mode OF doing it is to send the COIN apd to
place that coin in charge of some inIyidunl as the
agent OF the Treasury. who does not possess the
needtul pecuniary responsibility to reimburse
the United States in case he loses it through
gross and palpable negligence; for we willingly
admit the personal integrity of all the agents the
Treasury may employ for the purpose aud there.
fore do not take into view any risk on that score.
We confess we cannot see why these two opera

footing, aud why one:is allowed by the Subtreasury
law and the other prohibited by it. Contrary to
the usual belief. the Union thinks "sauce for the
goose is not sauce for the gander"
We are not arguing this question on party
grounds, or with party views; so FAR from il that
were such our motives, we should ather prefer
to let the present course be continued AS one
