Horse stealing has become a regular bust
Eess in the neighboring counties. and scarcely

Provisions Of every description were never 30

asked why retail prices Of all the articles In

avarice Of the spectators and the unwilling
ness Of the retail dealers 70 relinquish the
exorbitant prons which they have been real
izing since the war began, the public are CON-
PEELED to pay prices for the neossssrIes Of life
which are little better than sxtortions.
With Che exception Of cotton every produc-
ton Of the country has been most bounHfally

that there Is . comparative diminution in the
charges Of butchers and grocery dealers Of

manded are still entirely above what they

Of things before many days, and no one will
regret to see the Spectators severely bitten.
In the dry goods business. there is considerable
stagnation, large stocks on hand and the
failure Of . market In the South to bring dow n

FIcENr SIaHT In ENGLAND-Many thousands
OF people ID New York and throughout
the United States deprived themselves Of their
natural rest on Tuesday and Wednesday
last in anticipation Of Witnessing the grand
display in tie heavens which, according TO
the calculations Of the astronomer, was
70 be visible from this latitude on one or
other Of thos. nights. While the star gasers
here were disappointed in their expectations.
it appears that the anticipated shower Of me-
teors did actually occur, although science was
al fault as to the locality from which it would
be visible / was seen in England, aud the
sight from the Greenwich Observatory, as de-
scribed in special report to the HERALD, was
OF unequalled grandeur and interest. s'1s sa
Our special cable telegram, published in
yesterdays herald, gave the observations at
the Greenwich Observatory up to six O'Clock
of the morning of the 14th. II appears that
the magnificent spectacle commenced there
at nine O'Clock OF the night Of the 18Th
and continued until six O'Clock on the morning
Of the 14th, the shower of meteors reaching
lis maximum between one and two O'Clock,
when five thousand stars shot from their places
and trailed their fire along the heavens until
lost TO sight. During the whole splendid and
wonderful display twelve thousand of such
celestial rockets were visible to the naked eye,
some Of them presenting colors of red, blue,
green, orange and amber. Many of them
radiated flashes like sheet lightning, and
others burst like rockets and broke into stars
OF crimson, sapphire and emerald. Thus this
gala night Of the heavens continued TO exhibit
its wondrous glories until the veil of the
mornings light shut them from mortal eyes
Our special report from England will be
read with intense interest by those who have
been disappointed in their expectation Of
witnessing this rare and wonderful condition
of the heavens, and will make stir among
the learned men who have been engaged on
calculations on the meteoric shower. Although
mistaken as to the, locality from which the dis
play would be visible, they have yet tho salts
faction of knowing that their prediction as to
the occurrence and its date was correct, We
have great satisfaction in having been enabled
to lay before them this early, interesting and
important information e, 81. = 7'@y \. asa ~ \

The SECRETARY OF The TREASURY CONTRACT
NC THE CURRENCY.-We are informed through
the Washington newspaper dispatches that Mr.
Secretary McCulloch is determined to contract
the currency as far IS the late law Of Con-
gress will allow. He Is contracting it, in fact,
as fast ssshe cam Why is Mr.. McCulloch In
snch q hurry TO reduce the volume of currency
Is the country sufferings Are we not doing
very wells Are we not prosperous? Yes, the
country is in healthy condition Of prosperity,
and. there ID no good reason why this should be
endangered by hurried contraction. The
Secretary had better let the currency alone, or,
at least, il the amount be reduced at all, he
should contract it SO imperceptibly that the
country would not feel the operation. But Mr..
McCulloch begins at the wrong end. II Il not
the legal tender circulation that should be re-
dnced, but that Of the national banks. Instead
of taking ont Of circulation the popular and
safe money Of the government, the legal ten
des, be should recommend Congress to pass
an act tobreak up yAe national bank currency
and system. By substituting legal tenders for
the national bank circulation the government
could save upwards of twenty millions year,
alsum which Is now actually gift to an over
grown and a dangerous moneyed monopoly.
The whole system Of our national finances, the
existence of these national banks, and the pro-
position TO contract the legal tsnder currency,
are all for the benefit Of capitalists, money
traders aad the bondholders. The enect Of It
an will be to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. The bondholders the national bank
monopoiists and the great capitalists could
not find . man 70 serve their purpose better
than the Secretary Of the Treasury. We hope,
however, that there may be found enlightened
statesmen 10 Congress TO keep him in check,
and to establisha better and sounder system Of
currency and Thames than be contemplated. "a.

radical Congressman spoke officially during
the sessions Of the House, and with the sane
ton Of the Speaker. That sanction Mr..
Speaker Colfax had no right to give. At the
first unparllamentary word II was his duty to
call the offending member 10 order. He knew
that II was contrary TO the rules of the House,
to parliamentary law everywhere, and to the
ordinary etiquette, among gentlemen, for him
to permit the President of lhe United States to
be abused, ,slandered and riaisulsa ia Con-
gress, and he should have interfercd imme-
diately. Had the discussions in Congress been
properly conducted there, would have been
none Of this personal feeling in regard to
President johnson which has already dis
grsced US before the vtrid. Mr. Speaker
Colfax was placed in the chair to take care
that the debates were properly conducted, and
none of the present animosity would have ex-
listed had he performed hisduty. 2
After this brief glance i the faults Of his
past career, we now invite Mr.. Speaker Collar
TO consider how he ID 10 lehave in the future.
When Congress again ASSEMBLIES he viii find
his duty more difficult dan ever. Abuse,
growing by what II feeds upon, has now
attained to a subIimiy Of sldacity. Congress-
man Bingham, who vowednot to give sleep to
his eyes nor slumber to hk eyelids until he
had prepared articles Of impeachment against
the President, Is already al Washington prose-
cutting his disgraceful worl It's even stated
that he will attempt to how that President
johnson was accessory 10 Lincoln's asssssina-
ton In any other ccuntrythe man who would
utter 30 outrageous llumny would bo
branded and pilloried; bt here, where Bine.
ham Il backed by Jacbins as insane o.
himself, the slanderer may be exalted
into . temporary hen by his part-
sans, no matter how leeply all intelli.
gent and patriotic men may grieve. But
this will give Mr.. Speaker ColAx an oppor.
tunity TO atone for al bis past errors. Let him
resolve that the parliamentary rules shan be
strictly enforced during NE NEXT session OF
Congress, and that the Prsident shall be re-
ferfed to only In the mot respectful terms
Men make themselves andeach Other angry by
using harsh words. - No Iavs sses In Tia dr.
