tie aud1cItg to notify to the mercantile world
in general that all bargains for goods 10 bs I'm.
ported Into Venlco would be paid In bard caah.
Won Toggcnburg wa1ed wroth at the declare
tton as tending to deprcciate bis already almost
worthless paper money Of the empire nut
he was assured, with satl1ical truth, by the
organ Of the commercial men Of Veu1ce, that
no foreign vessel would ever bring cargo into
the port II its owner we're to run the fisk OF
being paid in q currency only accepted on com
discount Of at least tlfty per cent What With
this nuisance and the pressure Of enormous
taxation On all the resources Of the country,
the trade Of Venice is reduced to nothing, IN
spite Of all the merchants, the Chamber. or
tie bauk can do to facilitate transactions. The
port Is avoided BY the mercantile matlna IN
these days, as if q pestilence were raging On
that shore.
The temper Of tho whole city has become 10
rancorous mud gloomy that visitors ara NO
longer inclined to soj0urn there. It IL stAtfs-
tically shown that In 1870 compared with 1858,
the number Of residences belonging to- tho

There is no means of avertlng, or soothing,
or teaching the Venetlaas to forget their just
rancor against the ubiquitous oppressor. The

with perfect apathy at Venice. Meanwhile

RgMARKAD1r FAc7.-Tho day after Christ
mas last, q lady in this city became mother 10
fine and healthy girl child. There is nothing
startling In the fact not being calculated TO ex
cite comment, As ueual, mother and child did
we'll, and progressed in health and strength.
But TWO weeks afterwar1 the same lady was
again the mother Of a child, ino boy, who is
also 1ourlshlng as we'll as tue doupl5:1axed
mother. This ciFcumslancc, although Of ex-
treme rarity, being probably the second we'll.
ascertained case Of the kind in the United
States, Is one which is known to medical men
Is having occurred before, and is accounted for
upon clearly ascersained physical grounds

TIE SLAVE S7ATEs.-Tue Philadelphia
North 4nler5cdn deduces some Interesting iacts
from the late census. The enumeration shows
that In the entire South tue free population
has gained largely upon the seryile element,
for while the former has gained 2,021, TO-, the
Inter gains but 79S,9i1. In 1850 the slaves
were Just half as numerous as the free pnputl*
tlou. Now they hare fallen behind 434 GOO.
The eain of free population ID chiefly in the
border States. In Missouri the free people
have nearly doubled III ten years, and the
slaves, who in 1850 were rs to z of the whites,
arc now az to 8. Kentucky In ten years
gained 178,G53 free people, aud only 14,5o9
Slaves. Slavery In Delaware and Maryland
shows decided decrease in numbers. In
Kentucky and Missouri 1t is evidently being
overwhelmed BY the large and steady increase
OF the free population. In Virginia, large as
the slave population is, its held is growing
weaker. IN 1850 tho excess Of free people
over slaves was 4TJ, COS; it il now Col ,547, The
increase Of the free element during the decade
having been 1870, and of the slaycs only
2329S. 1t is apparent that In Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, tho
peculiar Institution is ebbing away before the
mighty power Of free emigration. In South
Carolina, Georgfa, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
eippf and LOUISIANA the Institution maiLtains
its strength and prepouderance- In North
C1ro1ina, Tennessee aud Arkansas It is strong
and progressive, but the free element ia largely
In the ascendant. Slavery is clearly moving
! towards the tropics,
