EFFECT or THE Success OF THE REPUBLICANS
on FAsHIoNs-The opening of the spring
fashions, which takes place to-day, will present
a great falling off on that Of previous years.
The modistes and milliners are among the
greatest sufferers from the general business de-
preston which has resulted from the success
of the republican party last November. Re-
trenchment and economy have been inaugu-
rated in every household, and general reduc-
ton in dome site expenses Of all kinds is the
consequence. Even fashion. which, under oil
other circumstances, reigns supreme, and Is sub
ject only to her own capricious will, has suf-
fercd severely. The orders to France have
undergone large reduction, and high price
articles in the millinery and dressmaking line
will not be so eagerly sought after. An I'M
mistakeable indication Of the change which has
taken place in this respect is TO be found in the
great demand for low rent houses-parties
that paid two, three and four thousand
dollars last year being satisfied with residences
for thousand. In fact economy has now be-

A New GOVERNMENT LoAS.-It is said in
many quarters that the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, Mr.. Chase, will soon want another loan
the money raised by the late one being very
nearly exhausted; and it is minated that this
new loan is TO be contracted for privately and
secretly. There are, 70 doubt, many men in
Wall street who would be very glad to loan
money to the government in this secret plan,
because, as the bids could not be scanned
by the scrutinizing eyes of the public,
they could make as much as they pleased out
of the operation. But il loan should be
raised secretly by the government, it will not
only be thing without precedent, but it must
be regarded as corrupt job, and gross swim
die upon the people.

a. the corporstors imagine, no obstacle In their
way. The bill provides that the grant for the
road shall be conveyed to the persons named
in the preamble. and that they shan hold ii
exclusively, making such arrangements with
the municipal authorities as shall seem proper
to both parties. We have no hesitation In de-
claring, in the first place, that Broadway
ought TO be preserved as it is; and, second,
that If a railway ia needed in that thorough
fare, the franchise should be offered at public
auction. Broadway belongs to the people of
New York-men, women and children. When
we have anything to show-a crack militia
regiment, foreign lion, like Kossuth or the
Prince of Wales; q stylish equipage, a new
coat or bonnet, big safe, or any other thing
out Of the common wayne display it in
Broadway. Il is the main artery of the great
city, the canal through which the very life
blood of New York GIBBS and flows, like the
tides of the ocean. And we can tell the Lee
gislature that however they may decide the
matter, their masters-the people of New
York-have made up their minds that Broad
way shall not be spoiled by railway. We have
had, In the Metropolitan Police act and other
Objectionable laws, quite enough of Albany le-
eislation for this city. Notwithstanding the
course Of the black republican journals here
aboufs, we can assure the Legislature that
there is a very deep, indeed we may say
unanimous, feeling on the part of the public
against this scheme. Laying the rails for the
new road will be, we opine, rather difficult
operation.

The report of the City Superintendent of Public

half cent per pound lower on the average,

cows were plenty, but steady. Veal calves were
unchanged. Sheep and lambs were slow Of sale

NEWSPAPER fORGERIES-fne press, here ana
elsewhere, without distinction of party, has
ascertaned, at rather a late period in the day,
that the black republican journals of New
York have been indulging in a series Of
forgeries of the most fragrant character. These
forgeries have been imposed upon the public
in the shape of letters dated at Charleston, Ss-
vannah, Montgomery. New Orleans and other
places in the South. Long ago we saw through
this game but did not think it worth particu-
lar mention. The letters seemed to us to bear
on their face evidence of their utter falsity,
and we did not believe that any man of COM
mon sense could be deceived by them for Q
moment One Of the bogus correspondents, al
ludipg to the fact that work upon the new
South Carolina State House had been sus-
pended, locates the edifce at Charleston
instead Of Columbia; while another announced
the arrival of President Davis at Charleston,
when he had never left Montgomery. So gross
was the ignorance of these writers, and 80 en-
tircly unacquainted were they with the locali-
ties from whence their letters purported to
have come, that they utterly failed in their
purpose. They were all cooked up from tho
newspapers by literary Bohemians who do odd
jobs in the Offices Of the black republican
newspapers, and they were intended as means
whereby the people Of the North should be
humbugged as to the real condition of things in
the South Promptly detected, and as soon OK
posed, however, these newspaper forgers have
not been able to do any particular harm. They
have only succeeded in writing very large
quantity Of bosh to no purpose.
THs SENATORIAL DEBATES on THE Crisis
TIVE PoIICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION LEAKS
Our-Every few days some Senator presses
the republican party in the United States
Senate as to the programme Of the administra-
tion-whether II is peace or war-aud the re-
suit is that, notwithstanding the studied reserve
and the effort to keep silent, the policy Of thu
government is leaking out now and then and
bit by Bit. One day Mr.. Douglas draws ess
the republican Senator's; another day Mr..
Breckenridge applies sharp lance, and blood
flows. On Tuesday Mr.. Clingman st,ang them
into reply, which, though intended TO be
evssive, dscloses TO every intelligent mind the
designs Of the LincolH Cabinet. Mr. Simmons
said "the administration had no idea of in
vading State rights, but IL would continue b.
collect the revenue az heretofore, and the Stoies
settling N for themselves ariB cease 10 hare gng

ing why they have not received the
Journal of the House of Representa-.

delay is simply owing to the fact that
the printing of the Journals is not

were accordingly printed first. We
