A BETTER FBELING. The Ncw York Com
n'ercial says 1.-The complexion of money
matters continues to improve, and there is a
more cheerful feeling in commercial circles
We heard of some large offers on deposit of
first class securities at six per cent, though
the general rate is seven. The bids on the
State loan, announced yesterday, afford a
proof that there is an abundant supply of mon
ey where the character of the investment Sc
cures confidence. Nearly two millions of
bids. it will be seen, were made for the half
million advertised, and the whole awarded at
an average of 6-23 per cent. premium, for
stock drawing only six per cent per annum
interest. Even at tue price paid the opera
ton will be profitable one to the buyers, as
it will not be long before there will be de-
mand for these stocks for banking purposes.
At the board this morning 107 was offered
for them, about per cent advance.

THE KORTHLESsNEss OF com.


The devotees of Mammon may learn a whole
some lesson from the following incident at the
late disaster to the Central America. It teaches
them that the gold which they are making is not
all powerful as they imagine it, but in many sit
ustions of life it Is the most worthless Of all cross
An exchange says: &C 1t is stated by msny of the
survivors Of the Central Americas passengers
that there was seldom so large sn amount of
money owned by passengers as was in the case of
those who came by the Central America. Many
were persons of large means aud there were
but few whose immediate wealth did not amount
to fuadIeis, while numbers reckoned their gold
by thousands of dollars. The Igrester portion
OF the passengers were returned miners, some
coming hIther to invest the capital they had real
Ized 10 hopes to i've life of greater ease as the
result Of their industry, aud others to get their
families and once mere to go to the land of gold
But SIS the storm continued to rage, less and less
of gold was thought OF, and whe1, on Saturday. it
became evident that they were likely st snv mo.
rnent to be buried beneath tie waves. wealthy
men Invested themselves OF Their treasure belts
and scattered the gold upon the cabln-a1ors tell
ing those to take it who would, lest It's weight
sfew ounces or pounds carry them to their death.
Full purses, containing in some instances s. 600.
were laying untouched on sofas. Carpet-bsgs
were opened by men and the shining metal poured
out on the floor with the prodlgality OF deaths
despair. One Of the passengers, who has iortu
nately been rescured opened bag and dashed
about the cabin $50 600 in gold dust, and told
him who wanted to crafty bis greed for gold, to
r.ke is Bet it was passed by untouched as the
vsriest dross. A few hours before be would nave
strDck down the man who would have attempted
TO take q grain of that which he now spurned

OVER LEGISLATING

The tendency of much of the legislation of the
presnt day is to weaken the sense of individual
responsibility and destroy individual independence.
That this is movement in the wrong direction
none who have reflected upon the danger Of minis
teripg to the weakness of human natures will be
disposed to deny. Selfgovernment lies at the
foundation OF sl true political liberty, ard this
81 olld rather be fostered by exercise than weaken
cd by too much unfolding. Self-reisnce, in this
sense goesssIfsr as selfdeus in the composition Of
msnliness; and the constant habit Of being cared
for and protsc ed without our own labor or watch
fitness soon begsts that feebleness which converts
the sid into a necessity.
Well meaning philauthr0pists, whose zeal fo-
doing good out their ju gDent, are continual y
falling into tins error. They mneucs al their
reforms by outside pressure, rather than by inward
publication, and nhen unsuccessful, Is thsy

the weight instead of changing the direction OF
their efforts This is the rad Cal error of the Maine.

which the persuasive teachings and sefdenying

alone to the absence of occasion is an hypo -risy

Here is the grand mistake Of large class of
restless spirits in this country. While accepting
our form of government, and condescending to live
amid its privileges, they seem to have no faith in
its fundamental principles. They distrust the
