The rawlings of some Of your city papers against
the tariff excite among pity for their impotence
and contempt for their righteousness. Ihey pro-
duce no effect here as we thoroughly understand
the game of brag and bully they are playing. we
look upon them as being inspired by something else
than patriotism. But how Republican Journals
which only few weeks ago urged on Congress the
passage Of this same tariff can now turn round ana
denOunce it in the terms we see used, passes our
comprehension. We are abundanty satisfied with

1t was currently reported week ago that the
peach crop in New-Jersey and Delaware had been
DESTROYED BY frost and snow. Later and more re-
liable news received here from those regions, deny
the report. The crop viii be full one, as far as
present appearances go. But the nurserymen were
go taken aback by the countemanding of distant or
ders for trees owing TO the state OF the tunes, that
they are now selling them at 81 per 100 the usual
price being IS to So This low rate has brought

A good business will be done this year IN building
houses, even better than the last. The number OF
permits for new buildings taken out IN March
amounted to 254 which is Is more than in the same
month last year. This shows that we are very far
from stagnating. No public work has been stopped
for want of funds Rents have not generally fallen,
nor are there more empty houses than usual. There
Is no stampede from costly houses to cheaper Ones
such as marked the panic Of 1882 no families gong
in double and treble, or spreading out into the
country towns to save rent. The building OF so
many new houses is q sure index of prosperity.
The cotton movement here is truly remarkable.
Last year the Pennsylvania Railroad brought n 600
bales from Pittsburg an increase Of 10000 bales In
three years. Special local facilities are being or.
gained here TO encourage @ greater increase, and
the road has recently reduced the freight Trans
loaded with this cotton are going night and day
over the Camden and AmbOy Road to your CITY,
Shippers are beginning to understand the value OF
the overland route. 1t brings the staple cheaper
than by sea, saves 80 days time, and in other ways
is a more satisfactory channel. This reversal OF
trade was predicted months ago as inseparable from
Secession.
More emigrant travel has passed over the Penn
sylvana Railroad last year than the year previous,
ii ,83l in 1860 against 10,76l in 1889 Of emf
grants last year, $500 were from New-YOrk, and
2 ,l93 went to points west of Pittsburg.
The Allegheny Bank of Pittsburg has been pro-
ceeded against under the Suspension law, with
view TO annu its charter. A party who presented
$50 of its bills, demanding specie, was refused
The penalty is forfeiture of the charter If the suit
be pressed the bank must go into liquidation. Ii
is the first of the kind instituted since the late sus-
pension.
The steamer State of Georgia, plying between
This city and Savannah, has made her last tnp.
Freights fell off so largely that she did not pay.
