THE PRESIDENTS DIRTY WORK,

1t is matter of boast among tho PreSi-
dents friends at Washington, that Mr.JouN.
son has gained the control Of the Penusyl.
vania Legislature, and will neglect no
means of retaining it, and thus preventing
quorum from assembling. His avowod
objeol is to defeat the ratification of the
constitutional amendment, which would 50.
cure the restoration of tho States on the Con-
gressional plan, For tho Same reason ho
prevented the assembling of quorum ip
tho Legislature of his own State. This
druLknen sot seems determined to drive
his country to politca, perdition.

Tie Richmond Enquirer says that
twenCy-one Swedish Immigrants who
passH through that city last summer,
on tieir way to find employment in
the Interior of the State, have just
returned, much dissatisfied with their
treatment, pay and food. Two of
them, man and his wife, state that
they were hired by a minister, for
whom they labored five months, and
who paid them off in Confederate
money! fraud which they did not
discover until they undertook to pay
their fare on the railroad. The party

The moral world, like the phsical,

IS not by daily weakening the base of

ment Is not stationary; it advances,
and 1t means to advance, but on a
ground consolidated, and capable of
sustaining power and liberty. Let us

Our FINANCIAL POSITION ABROAD.
Our financial position abroad is thus
referred to by the London Telegraph,
of February 21:
sThe condition of financial affairs.
after months of serious depression
amounting at intervals almost to
alarm-has undergone o marked
change within the last few days.
The stringent policy pursued by the
Bank of England has at length pro-
duced the result desired. The bene-
fetal effect of high rate of interest
IN restraining undue expansion and
enforcing caution as to new commit
tails, has never been more strikingly
manifested than during the present
winter. That there was absolute
need of the restrictive course pursued
by the bank has been proved to de-
monstration. Notwithstanding a
rate of interest in the London mar
ket exceeding by two or three per
cent. that current on the continent,
the outflow of gold continued in q
steady stream for weeks, and the ex-
changes remained persistently ad-
verse.
CHOW that the tide has turned, and
things have assumed more cheerful
aspect, there is one remarkable fact
well calculated to att.act attention.
While all other securities were de-
pressed, and even consols were fall
ing week after week, United States
tive-twenty bonds not only main
tanned their value, but gradually ad-
vanced from 63 to Gland are now
quoted at 681a. Whether this ex-
ceptional result is justified by the
state of transatlantic finances forms
subject worthy of close exan1ina-
ton. The amount of American Sc
curities afoat is very great, and, as
Will presently be explained, is about
to be vastly increased. The interest
on investments in those bonds, if
deemed entirely secure, is high
enough, even at their present price,
to tempt the withdrawal of capital
from advantageous and useful en-
ployment IN our own country; and, if
American Government stocks should
become popular in our market, the
absorption of capital would be sufi
cient seriously to affect commercial
and industrial enterprise, producing,
in the event of disaster, even wide
spread calamity
The writer then proceeds at length
to show the insecurity of American
finance. The day after the publica-
ton of the article, fve-twenties ad-
vanced from 6S1a@695s.

The DECLINE IN DRY GooDs.-Judging
from the rates which different articles in
the dry goods line have brought at auction
during the past week, there has been sc
slight slackening in the demand in that
branch of trade, or a decided fall in prices
In the way of lace curtains, upholstery
goods and damasks, the prices were only
fair to out Of town purchasers. Muslin
curtains were low. Ribbons, millinery
goods, dress buttons, &C., brought but
middling fair rates. Dress buttons were
particularly low, and the bidding at the
sales, although spirited, failed to pro-
duce rates equal to those demanded
by importers. In linens and woolens
satisfactory prices were generally re-
allied, but woolens did not go off freely
There are such quantities Offering that
purchasers hold from the market, hoping
to meet paying decline. The hat trade
could only be reported as fair, the lower
grades beng in greater demand. Fur h&ts 8
brought fair average, and bidding
spirited: Shawls were sold, op Wednesda
at good rates. Dress goods, including
some handsome and fashionable silks, jpl
