sons. The excitement became intense, and
further outbreaks w.re anticipated, but or
der was finally restored. A large meeting
was held in front of the City Hall, Tues
day night. Speeches were made 5y Gen.
NcCAILA. DR.. CLAYTON and Councilman
LLOYD, of the American party, who spoke
OF the killing Of persons by the Marines,

and bloody massacree of the innocent, and
tae coniuct OF the executive authorities as
trampling under foot the sacred rights of

The staggering blow given to the May.
or by the decision of the Supreme Court
begins to tell favorably for law and order.
Policemen begin to side with those to
whom their duty and their inclinations
lead. Half Of the Ninth Ward and about
half of tn, Fifth Ward force have recog-
nizcd the Commissioners. and the same
steps will probably be taken in other wards
to-day The Commissioners are gaining
ground rapidly, without pushing their au-
thority by any extreme measures. The
Judge of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
supports them fully. and it only needs lit
tie more time and reflection to convince the
mass of the Police in both cities of the
of obcying the State and the
Court in preference to reckless, law-dc-
tying, ambitious demagogue.--N \. 7fi-

Wcstern Merchants.

Hunfs Merchants Magazine thus notices
the complaint of short remittances from the
West.
We noticed in our last tho difficulty of
making collections at the West and North
west, and this has increased, rather than
diminished, during the last month. The
reason assigned by the local newspapers is
that the fever Of land speculation has ragged
SO wildly that the money has all leen
drained for that purpose, and the people
are without the means of paying their debts
to the East. There is, doubtless. some-
thing in this, and it may also be noted
that all kimls Of speculation have been
started owing to the thirst for the easy ac-
QUESTION of riches, kindled by the instan-
ces of fortunes suddenly acquired, which
have been reported on every side.
But there is deeper cause at work, and
this will not be cured in single season.
1t is this, that floating capital at tho West
is scarce, and would be so under any cir
cumstances, now that the large cxpendi-
lures for railroad purposes have been cur
tailed.
Two or three years ago capitalists in the
large cities. and even in England, were
sending ont their millions to build up these
railroads, andthc stream enrich ID tie West;
merchants found it easy to sell goods and
collect the pay; farmers had a ready and
liberal market at their own doors for all
their produce; and prosperity seemed to
roll in like a golden flood. Now comes
the first reaction Of the tide; it will leave
high and dry many bark which has ven
tured too far from the main channel, but
Its good effect viii be felt in restraining the
extravagance Of speculation. and inducing
more sober estimate Of the risk of aim
ing at sudden wealth. W
The trade Of the country has been some
what interrupted by the passage Of the new
'arriif. which induces many importers to
place their goods in bond. to await the re-
duction ofduty. and holders of merchandise
have wisely preferred to sell of the old
stock before investing in new.

sure, has no disposition to attempt the for

be sustained by even the administration Of
