and Thomas, have declared against the radical

indignant at the efforts made for immediate,

The result will be the organization Of new
conservative party that will annihilate the re-
publicans as they annihilated the democrats.

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABRoAD.-While Ameri-
can securities are steadily advancing in value,
those Of France and England as steadily de-
crease The reason of this Is that those who
desire to invest their money can do so TO much
greater advantage and with much higher inter-
est in American than in foreign bonds If
person in England has fifty thousand dollars in
gold to invest he can get three or four per cent
interest for II in specie by depositing IL with
the English or French governments; but II no
sends It to this country he finds II transformed
into seventy thousand dollars in paper money
gold being at about forty per cent premium
and be can put this sum, at par, into bonds that
pay six per cent interest in gold. Such practi-
cal difference as this may well overcome all the
arguments Of the London Tines, paper which
endeavors to depreciate American securities by
order Of the Rothsohild clique who control 1t,
and whose foreign investments are injured by
the present advance In our bonds. Besides
this, shrswd nnanoisrs. who discount the future,
plainly go that the troablss Of this country are

Ehgland viii soon be involved In some Of those

born determination to have their own way. d
the South, to secure quiet, has finally to give
to the negro more than its judgment believes
him entitled to, that gift will excite terrible
passions, and will be eventually dear gift to
sambo. Sambo can stay in the South quietly
and happily in his present natural position;
but, force him into another position-a position
that will every day excite the passions Of the
superior race-and he cannot stay in the South
ern States at all The radicals are doing their
crazy utmost to force him into this higher,
dangerous, impossible position, and they there
fore are his only enemies Thus we see q
stl:ange fact in the history Of parties; but one
not entirely without parallel. The radicaS
first became party in virtue of their crusade
for the good IF the niger, and now they are
the only party that will not let tlris poor nig-
ger enjoy what quiet he can in the world, bus
insist upon forcing him forward and upward to
bis ruin.

THE RISE m REAL EsTATE.-The immense
increase in the prices. Of real estate and
in rents in this city 10 conclusive proof
Of the greatness and the prosperity Of the
metropolis. New York il the centre Of the
country, as Paris is of France and London Of
England. People rush to It from all parts Of
the United States to make money or to enjoy the
comforts anu elegances Of life. If they have 70
pay dearly for Its advantages the majority of
them are perfectly willing to do so, while the
others the poorer classes-have to suffer be-
cause the means Of living, with them, do not
increase with the rapidity of the pros
perity Of the city. Just as q store ON
Broadway il more valuable for business pur-
poses, and consequently commands higher
rent than store in some unfrequented alley,
so residence in New York is worth more and
costs more than residence in any other part Of
the country. The increase of twenty, thirty and
forty per cent now required by landlords over
the rents for last year is certainly onerous;
but the law of supply and demand requisites
rents as II regulates the prices Of sugar and
broadcloth. Our hotels are more crowded
when they charge five dollars day' Una"
they were few years ago when they only
charged two dollars. Houses are very DEAR
but they are also very scarce, even at the high
rates, and this scarcity makes them the more
costly. n one person Is not willing to pay the
advanced rent another person IL; and although
we may grumbls about the exactions Of land
lords. thcy are sure 70 take the highest rate
offered There are many instanres whore
sftv thousand dollars are paid for stores
this yssr, against twenty-five Thousand paid
twelve months ago; and they prove that
New York y the great businssa centre Of the
republic and that the tide Of population =
flowing here most rapidly. Ths only remedy
for high rents u The erection Of more stores
and houses, and that b work Of time. Mesa-
while We hope that the tax assesors will keep
the run Of these advanced rates and tax IN
landlords sceordinslx.

PRECAUTIONARY SANITARY MEAsuREs-The
Board of Health of Brooklyn, assisted by
large committee Of physicians and citizens, are
about taking some excellent precautionary
measures against the cholera, should we have
the misfortune TO be visited by that pestilence
In the coming summer. They propose to make
a thorough examination Of every house, street,
lane and alley in the city, with view to re-
moving everything that is calculated to impair
the public health, before the warm days OF
spring are upon US. Some forty eminent ply
sicians have volunteered their services In this
good work. This is an important sanitary
movement, which might be adopted In the mo-
tropolis with great advantage 70 the public
health. Brooklyn has, perhaps, less evils to
remedy in the way Of dirty streets and alleys
than New York; and II such measures be
deemed advisable In that city, how much more
necessary are they hsrei Many weeks will not

GENERAL SHERMAN on THE POSITION or
THE MICRO SoUTH-THs RADICAL HIS ONLY
ExEMY.-The communication addressed to the
War Department by General Sherman, and
dated December %, probably contains all that
the General has to say at present on the state
of the Southern people, and Is not to be fol-
lowed, as has been thought possible, by more
elaborate exposition of the great soldiers
views. II sums up the whole case tersely, and
contains all that man of clear ideas need say
"The negroes in Arkansas can all find profitable
and lucrative employment, and are protected
in all their rights and property by the civil
authorities" Here is great fact that gives us
the position of reconstruction in that State at
one view, and General Sherman states IL on his
own credit like q man who knows that the
country will believe what he says. So tar as
the niggers 90, then, reconstruction is al right
out there. No Niger need starve II disposed to
labor, and none is deprived Of justice. More
than this cannot be required until the country
is prepared to build every darby house, put
his name on the income list and give his wife
piano. Not only are all secure in Arkansas,
but they also feel secure. g" met no one, citi-
zen or soldier, who questioned or doubted that
their freedom was rs well secured in Arkansas
as in Ohio" We cannot doubt, then, that the
position Of the negro in Arkansas Is all that his
real friends could desire 1t to be- and II it is 50
in Arkansas II is throughout the Southern
States. Arkansas was one Of the least enlight-
ened parts of Slavedom always, and It is not
possible that any other State can be
behind Il in progress toward recon
struchon. Where, then, Is the danger
Of the negro just nowi II comes from
his pretended ffiends. Il lies WIDELY and
solely In radical agitation and in the reaction
against the Niger that that agitation will in
evitably induce. The radicals In Congress are
running up terrible score that will be settled
on the poor blacks for whose benefit they
pretend 10 clamor. They are preventing
pesce-preventing the harmonious return OF
the Ssstes 70 their plaoe-kesplns Tie country

fuel peat possesses many advantages over
coal. The great difficulty has been, hereto

obvsted By "Leavist's Peat Condensing and

The north part of this state contains mil
