Be generally conceded, that w must bass
through winter Of extreme pressure
There seems 70 be no end to-the suspensioas
Of banking institutions-senerally resorted
to as q precautionary measure, TO enable
them to. gather up their resources, and TO
assume position that will be impregnssie.
Many express the opinion that all will soon
bs right-that the West is particularly
sound, and that restoration OF confidence
only, is needed to bring back the feeling
TINT existed in July last. While we believe
that nothing in the world can be more true,
we are confident that the immediate restora-
t;on of that confidence is impossible. Much

Of the hill. We have no desire to indulge
in vain croakings, but We must be allowed
to say, that we shall be even more sorely
pressed ere better times dawn upon u.s.
Confidence cannot be restored at sight--our
domestic indebtedness cannot be iquidated
at once-it will take time to accomplish
these things. However, present indications
favor the idea that the worst OF 1.-The gale is
over, and that where the storm began, the
clouds are breaking away. 1t may be So

to break forth again with renewed fury and
violence, and engulf us in still darker gloom.
In the meantime, let us all practice forbear-
ance and economy.

Workmen have been engaged for several
days past, in setting the curb-stones on the
west side Of Pearl street, near its junction
with Lower Broadway, and also upon the
latter street, west of Pearl. The space be-
tween the curbing and the contiguous build
ings, has been filed in with sand, preparato-
ry to paving the same with "good, sound
hard-bu brick" as the ordinance estab.
fishing sidewalks directs. So far, SO good
but we wish we could see a prospect of
having sidewalk, this fall, upon at least
one side Of Broadway, from Madison street
to Center. Bless us, wouldn't it be pleas
ant in muddy weather. 1t makes us nerv-
Gus, even now, merely to contemplate a pas
sage up Broadway after ssthe rains have
descended'' and the mud come. But, we
suppose we shall have to ssgrin and bear it"
until the cry of ''hard times'' Is no longer
heard. So mote it be. -.... ......a.,....

Plymouth, Cherokee, O'Brien, Oseeola and

pleasure Of an acquaintance. He is a man
of energy, of fine education, of desided tai
ent, of high character, and we shall be greatly
gratifed if the Republicans Of that district
elect him. Three years ago the coming
winter, he spent in this city, teaching school.
Since then he has been living in Crawford
county, where he has founded town, which
bears his name, helped to open up that new
county, and laid the foundation Of future
fortune and extensive influence. Keokuk
