The Hard Times,

In Boston on Monday, the failure of
the extensive dry goods importing aud

Pearl street. produced much sensation.
The liabilities of the firmaTe stated at
l.9C0,00G. The failure is attributed TO
Lac pressure ia the money market at the
West, which preyenied reni;tances, and
large amount of paper sent back under
protest. The Boston Post saws:
at is he heaviest failure ofan uuin
corporsted company that ever occurred
IN New England. y large amount OF the
inde btedness Is in New Yogk. IL is
thought by some conversant with the
affairs of the concern, that it will pay a
dividend Of seventy-fve per centum--
wiile others place the P.oba bic dividend
as low ss 80. One merchant who hcids
claims TO the amount OF 0 or Il eco, en-
tertained his friends literally ia re.urn
for their congratulations that he had pas
sed day without suffering any gteat loss.

Louisville Riot.

It's distressing 70 find that party has soklind-
ed some ofour citizens thatthey condemned their
own countrymen of Louisville, before any rel-
able Information was received concerning the
riots. Since that time conflicting reports have
been received in party papers. The American
papers throw all the b'sme on the foreigners,
the Anti-American papers on the natives, and
here the papers qaote from the one or the other
as party prejudice inclines them. For our own
part we think that in evsry such case both par
ties ara more or less to blame, and all papers
should do what they can 10 prevent the repiti-
ton IL such outrages.
