Trade Emancipation.

We give below the remarks of the Indepen-
dent on this subject, as affected by the recent
election. The truth of the picture, although
given in somewhat of an enthusiastic tone, will
he recognized by every one. Verify the nation
has cause to rejoice and be glad and doubly
heartfelt should our thanksgivings be this year.
Merchants and manufactures, mechanics and
traders, operatives and day-aborers, farmers
and business men, the gateway of Freedom has
opened, and the deep, flowing tide of prosperity
shall now for ever peacefully flow 10 enrich the
nation. Henceforth the sweat of your brow
shall be more honorable than ever before
With shouts and acclamations Of praise to the
Ruler of nations, take fresh courage in your
onward progress in the cause of justice and hu-
mainly, for no political power shall now check
or harm you. The hand of tyranny and OPP
preston is parayzed, and none shall dare with
even an uplifted finger TO plead the cause of the
cruel and the wicked.
No more shall the cry Of Disunion be heard
oven from South CaI Ulina, Or Gov. Wise, or
The Journal Of Commerce. Their peculiar,
much-loved labors have ended, and their game
is played out who shall now find work for
these idle hands to do?"
The day Of emancipation to Trade has come.
The great commercial heart shall now beat
freely, and its life. blood TRANQUILITY flew in every
channel. Neither Southern fire. eaters nor
Northern doughtaces shall henceforth intimidate
the freest movement in all business circl s. The
North and the South, the East and the West,
as one brotherhood shall in all matters of trade
be untrammeled and unshackled. For this
day of victory, this triumphant bound in our
onward march as nation, let us give thanks to

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
writing from this City, says; among the win
ming men on the Presidential election, one of
the most successful is Morrissy, the pugilist.
was conversing on Friday with an acquaintance,
who stated that he acted as stakeholder of a
bet between the brawny John and another party
to the amount Of $4,000, and had only an hour
before paid over to said John that amount in
good current money. As general thing, there
was little betting on the election. Persons ac-
customed to wager, and who bet to win, we're
unable to place anything to suit them. Few
were willing TO bet against Lincoln, and none
against Morgan.
The last census develops the curious fact that
in the comparatively new state of Ohio, the en-
tire section once called the wheat region, from
Sieubenvie to Tiffin, has for several years
failed entirely in the production of its great
staple. The consequence is a decline of popu-
laton, and an increased emigration to the west.
We are afraid that Ohio is not the only state
in the great northwest which is destined to suf-
fer from a similar cause, unless the agricultu-
rists adopt energetic measures for the regener-
alton Of the soil.
1t was the habit of Lord Eldon, when attor-
ney-general, to close his speeches with some re-
mark juStilying his own character. At the trial
of Horne Tooke, speaking of his own reputa-
ton, he said, ut is the little inheritance have
to leave my children, and will leave it unim-
pared" Here he shed tears, and to the as
constituent OF all present, Milford, the solicitor
general, began to weep. "Just look at Milford"
said a bystander to Horne Iooke. "what on
airth is he crying lor?" rooke replied, "He's
a crying to think what little inheritance FL
don's children are likely to get"
In ancient timcs-that is, some twenty years
ago-shortly after the State House of lndianap-
oils was built, it was proposed that thermome-
ter should be got up for the Hall, and at an eX-
pense not exceeding three dollars. This motion
brought the distinguished member from
county to his feet, who eloquently inveighcd
against "spendin' the hard earnings of the peo-
pie in that ar way; and besides, Mr.. Speaker,

During the reFnt journey of the French En-
peror, some of the finest diamonds of the Crown
were more than once worn, the value of the
whole collection being 20,90S, 260f. The first
inventory was made in 1910 by order of Napo-
leon l., and another was taken under Louis
XVIII. on his return from Client to which
place his Majesty had caused them to be con-
veyed. On the latter occasion all the precious
stones, being removed from the settings, WEI
found to be 1852 in number, to weigh 1882
carats, and to be OF the value mentioned above.
An inventory recently made shows the plumber,

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Posrr1oN or
GREAT BRITAN.-Tho Manchester Guardian
in an article on the probable extent of British
grain importations during tie present year, and
their effect on the money market, arrives at the
following conclusions, al. That the position of
the bank of England at this moment is such
that an advance in the rate of discount may be
expected, Judging from precedent. 2. That the
grain importations are likely to be on a scale
which will keep up demand for gold for the
Continent, and at the same time check the GUS
tomnry rcmittances. 3. That there is little
prospect Of cessation, or even material di-
minution, Of these influences, during the re-
mninder Of the year, and consequently, that
when an advance in the rate of discount shall
be resolved upon, it is likely to be sustained
On the other hand, there is the possibility that
affairs in China may be brought to speedy
termination, which would end the drain for
that quarter, while the circumstances must al
so be recognized that, owing to the political
condition Of the Continent, money is lower in
most of the principal foreign cities than in Lon
don, and that there is consequently tendency
for capital to flow to this country. Hence, al
though the chances are in favor of an increase
in the value of money, there is ground to sup
pose that any changes that may be found nee
essary will be of a moderate character"

DETECTION AND PUNISHMENT OF A TURKISH
PAsHA.-The following instance of Turkish
conspiracy and its detection and punishment,
which has just occurred in Syria, reads IKE one
of the old oriental legends. Ii is related by the
Syrian correspondent of the Boston Traveller:
"An incident in the trial of Ahmet Pasha will
serve to show the depth of his treachery and the
blaokness of his heart:-
why did you allow this wholesale murder of
the people Of the Sultan's city,? said Fuad
PaSha.
TO punish the Christians, cooly replied the
late encouragement.
Punish the Christians For what? l am
not aware that YOU had any orders to punish
the Chrstians-let me see them
The Christians had conspired against the
government of the Sultan and wished to pun
ish them for their treachery.
SHOW me your evidence Of this conspiracy
said Fuad Pasha.
Here it is; read it, and see that have been
faithful to my MASTER and Ahmet Pasha drew
forth long document, signed by the seals of
about fifty of the principal citizens of Damascus
containing plot against the Turkish govern
ment.
Send for the persons whose names are ap.
pended TO this document, and confront them
with these signatures
iHtN were drought ana examined ana cross
questioned but no light could be gained. They
denied all knowledge If such document, but
acknowledged the resemblance of the signatures
and seals to their own. Their astonshment
seemed so natural that Fuad Pasha was for
moment puzzled to know whether the Pasha
was deceiying him, or whether the Christians
were really consprators, or the victims of some
hellish fraud A few moments reflection sug-
gested an eXpcdient which solved the difficulty
The seamakers of all Eastern cities are limited
in number; and are licensed by the government;
and as every mans signature is thus in their
honds-for Orientals, instead of signing their
names, use small copper or brass seal-they
are placed under bonds, to prevent them from
committing forgery. An order was given tor
the arrest of the six sealmakers of Damascus
and they were brought into court. Being duly
questioned as to the number of seals made by
them during the year, they gave no indication
of bad faith when Fuad Pasha announced the
discovery of the forgery of fifty Christian Names
and told them, as they hoped for pardon, to
confess fully their guilt. Greatly terrified, two
sealmakers came forward and threw themselves
at his feet. They testified that they had been
taken secretly to the house of Turkish Effen-
di, and were forced, by threats of violence. to
make duplicates of fifty Christian seals in their
posseSsion but that they were entirely ignorant
OF the use made of them, as they were sent
away by the Ehendi with reward, after having
given solemn promise never to make the mat
ter public. Fuad Pasha arose from his seat,
and after splitting in the face Of Ahmet Pasha,
ordered him to the lowest dungeon"

GAMBLING IN PARIs.-The police made a
descent the night before last q clandestine
gambling house kept by female who calls her
self Nine. de Marseilles. The apartment most
sumptuously fitted up, was frequented by the
ladies of the demi-mode, actresses of the minor
theaters, whose presence attracted young men
of family, foreigners, and others, who were
made the prey OF greeks and professed gamb-
lers. When the police entered the place
large party were assembled and, being thus ia

was arrested, and the stakes and all the furni-
ture in the room seized Gdiigndni.

THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF TIE STATE
There is some opposition in the Legislature to
the publication of the report of this survey
but on what grounds we do not exactly under
stand; for we should as soon think that a far
mer would refuse to make known the valuable
capacities of his farm, as that State would
keep her own resources hidden from the public
view. If it be objected to the publication Of
the report solely that it would be too expensive,
we would answer that no moderate degree OF
expense should ever be refused for any measure
that has for its object the advancement OF
knowledge. The cheapest way to suppress
crime is to advance useful knowledge as the
criminal statistics of Vermont may abundantly
shew. Besides the material value that we might
expect to derive from such report. its eontri-
button to geological science ought not to be
considered of small Importance. Our State is
wonderfully rich in rare geological facts which
are thus far unknown to the world. She dis
closes from her bosom secrets of the worlds
formation which have hitherto never been sus-
pected, and which may fill the most experienced
geoogist with wonder and amazcment. Who
for instance, has ever seen elsewhere than in
Vermont q conglomerate of slate-rock and peb-
bles-the pebbles mashed flat as pan cake
This extraordinary discovery alone, is worth
the cost of making a survey of the State. 1t
discloscs fact in the creation of the globe that
has never yet been dreamed of, and leaves some
chance for the Mosaic account being as correct
as any other still.

pillow. Neither Newton, Leibnitz, nor Des
Cartes-no, not even our Professor Pierce of
New Hampshire, we believe, ever thought of
putting algebra to an end so humble yet so use
full as this. Through the fundamentally of a
pillow of this character, and by the means of our
muck-bcds, our seemingly worn-out pasture
lands offer an undisturbed fund of agricultural
vitality ard health, which promises among other
advantages, to heal the potato disease; since
it is difficult to conceive that that disease should
visit these lands now, any more than it did our
meadows when they were new, and when the
disease was unknown.
But it is evident that all increased demand
for agricultural products will be necessary in
order to stimulate the cultivation of our old
pastures. The pasture-lands of the Asylum are
being titled because their crops are needed for,
and can be readily produced by, the people Of
the Asylum. Hence we see that it is near a
large, growing village that our old pastures first
feel the pillow; and from there, pasture-culture
will go OH extending in proportion as the de-
mand for produce increases. The example is
being set, and let those who doubt its success
watch its progress. 1t is a question even now,
whether our fallow lands do not offer as reason
able invitations to labor, and promise as hand
some returns, everything considered, as do the
new lands, such as they now are, of the far
West
