TIE GKsAT New YORK WHoLEsAIz HoUsas-
The vastness Of the business Of the principal
| New York wholesale firms can scarcely be COM
pretended without recourse to the official TO
turns OF the internal revenae officers. From
these lists we find that the Wholesale firm
doing the largest business in this city, accord
ing to the last returns, per anuumy was that of
II. B.. Clafin & CO., whose sales anOunted to
upwards Of forty-two' and half millions of
dollars The next was that Of A. r. Stewart Il
Co., whose sales for the year, exclusive Of
their enormous retail business, amounted to
nearly forty millions. Then we have large
number Of firms that do business to the extent
of ten millions per annum; and So on down to
Eve and one million. Among these large firms
we observe'the names Of many Boston people,
transplantings or branches Of Boston hOuses
that were going to decay there, but are doinga
most dourishing business IN the soil Of New
York. In few years, If tBoy continue to- be
transferred to New York in this way, the Bos-
ton houses will become simply the out of town
receptacles or a sort of bonded warehouses for
the fabrics of the mills of Massachusetts, prior
to their being sent to the great mart of New
York. These large sales of merchandise show
the energy and enterprise of our merchants.
who leave no sea unploughed and NO land I'M
trodden wherein they can dispose Of their
goods at profit They also demonstrate the
competition that exists between the leading
merchandise competition that forbids combi-
nation and monopoly, and thereby benefits the
people. They account for the princely dry
goods and other mercantile edifces that orna-
ment our business thoroughfares; and they
account for the surprising luxury and elegance
of the private residences and summer villas Of
these great American merchants.
Another striking feature in these returns is
the prodigious amount of business shown to be
transacted by the stock brokers, exclusive of
that transacted on their own private account
These sales amount to, for each firm, from the
sam of one hundred and forty millions Of dol
lars all the way down to fourteen and fifteen
millions per annum. In many cases these
large brokers sell the value Ola single stock
perhaps dozen times over in the course of %
year. All this vast amount of business has to
pay government tax, and thus the revenue
collectors returns are proportionally swelled.
Truly there is a prodigious amount of business
continually going on all around us in this the
most young. iInost active, most progressive
and gayest of all modern metropolises. 1t is .
wonder there should be any poor people
among us.

Negro Troeps---What Gen. Grant Saws.

The Springfield Republican, a sort of
Bunsby among New England country
newspapers, undertakes to settle the value
of negro troops as follows:
The trdth about the matter Is, that on
several occasions the negro troops fought
we'll Taken together, they were not equal
to the same number of white troops. and
no reasonable man ever supposed they
could be.
Would the Republican perhaps con-
slider Gen. Grant a reasonable man" his
opinion being quite different on this point
Gen. Grant said of the negro troops, For
guard duty aud picket duty, on the march
and in an assault, I consider the negro
troops surpassed by no soldiers IN the
acorld, and eguolled By rery feU."
But" qnerried listener, "does notthat
include all that YOU can say of a soldier ??
Nearly, but not quite all, responded the
Lieutenant General; What remains is
the ability to endure the steady pounding
of a protracted campaign, Yes" said
another questioner, but 1t the negroes
are good for everything else, why not for
| that?' Il don't say they are not, rejoin-
ed General Grant; 81 only say they have
not been tried"
The parties to that conversation were
Gen. Grant, Edwin NJ Stanton, and
! Henry Ward Beecher, and we had it from
the lips of the Latter We don't think
! the negro troops are in need of certif-
cate, even from General Grant, but we

papers as ike to be sure of respectable
! Endorsement before they make up their

Copper TactiGS.

The cop9crhcad papers iustnow is busy
In attempting to encourage their readers
by pcrsuadin~ them that the Union party
is divided and on the point of breaking up
altogether Their method is as follows
first to make Il false statement respecting
the principles of the Union party; second,
upon this lie. as foundation, to build a
superstructure of deception Thus they
necessarily assure their readers that the
Union party Is in favor Of negro sutirage,
negro equality and misccgeuation-tha
these are the fundamental principles of
the Union paTtv,-that it believes the ne
gro race in every respect the equal if not
superior to the white race. Next. as Of
ten as a prominent Union man anywhere
expresses sentiments hostile to these, or
indicative of anything but the profoundeSt
admiration for and the implicit belief in
the fitness of the blacks, regard ess of
education or condition. to enter at once
upon the highest and most responsible

Journals parade the matter before the
world as an evidence that such men are
abandoning the Union party.

he keeps on, will in a short time, make "a

say that the negro is incapable of i'm

that the white man had constitutional

a first-rate Democrat

and tone of the opposition year ago. The

by them "hirelings" and ''mercenaries.

as ''mercenaries, and are asking them to

1 Reminiscence of lS31---An American Exile

Not long since an elderly man, bent al
most double with age and work, and in
garments tattered and torn, while passing
through Rome, \. Y, stopped at one of
the stores and asked for bread and money
He volunteered the remark that he was
ashamed to beg, but stated as an explana-
ton and eXtenuation, the following as the
cause of the necessity: His home was
Saratoga, and lie CHANGED to be in Canada
at the time of the rebellion in that c0un>
try in 1881.
He WAS charged with being engaged in
that outbreak, was tried and convicted for
being in completely with the Patriots
and sentenced to Van Dieman's Land for
life. lie says he was not guilty, but that
the feeling was so strong against the
Yankees ut the time of his tria it re-
quired but slight idence to convict.
He was then some twenty one or twenty
two years Of age; he was taken to that
penal colony and there subjected to the
severest drudgcrv and the most inhuman
treatment; he, with other convicts, was
compelled to draw the pillow and cart like
oxen, and to labor early and late, and
treated not much better if any than the
dumb beasts Thus were twenty eight
years of life passed, never hearing from
friends or home, nor al owed 70 cOmmuni-
cate herewith. He, with others, was
finally pardoncd, and allowed to reach
home as best he might He lift the coun-
try hale and hearty youth, erect and
full of life and vigor; he returns to it af-
ter nearly thirty years absence decrepid
old man, bent over with are and work,
and with 4 shattered health and broken
constitution The narration he gave o,
his life there, and the details of his treat
ment, fully impressed his hearers with the
truth of his statements, and that he was
no impostor. He was on his way home.
