will not relax an iota of his determination
when Congress meets. When the ques-
tions of ''impeachment and deposition"
shall have been broached the people
will make themselves heard and felt.
VINO PAYS ?-The newspapers recently
recorded the fact that Massachusetts
manufacturing company had just declar-
ed a dividend Of one hundred per cent on
a years profits, after reserving surplus
enough to enlarge and improve their mill.
Another important fact, bearing upon this
point, is the announcement of woolen
Manufacturers in the same State, that be-
fore the war it cost him $3.50 TO make a
yard Of cloth which he sold tor 81, and
that now he sells at $S per yard what on
IL costs him 81 to produce. These manu-
facturers make goods tor the million, and
their enormous profits account, in some
measure, for the present extraordinary
high prices Of the fabrics used by the
masses. In the face OF this state of things,
the Radicals OF New England are loudly
clamoring for more protection, aid want
higher tariff solely as a means OF increas-
ing their profits. The wants and necessi-
ties OF the poorer classes are .unheeded by
these cormorants, and the actual cost OF
living is advanced which calls tor imme-
diate reform. How long will the people
be satisfied with Radical rule }?
SsGSrSG BANK NorEs.-The currency
bureau OF the Treasury Department. has
burned $4,000 dollars of the notes of a
national bank Of Philadelphia, because
the signatures OF the president and cashier
We're printed instead of written. The Of
hcers of the United States early introduc-
ed the absurd custom OF using printed and
signatures to important vonch-
ers, and are therefore III measure re-
spensible for its adoption by ontside bar
barlans. There are at the present time
great many national bank notes in crcn-
Itltion which are without the required
written signatures Of <he proper bank Of
ticers In the days OF the State bank sys-
tenn there were many curious ways of
this signature business IN vogue.
1t is always considered very laborious
work to write ones name large number
Of times. Some bank presidents were. N
the habit Of employing their sons and
daus hters to do this drudgery, and we
know OF one Old State bank whose notes
were for many years signed by the Presi
dents wife It turned out afterwards
that she was in the habit Of signing her
husbands name 10 all tlfat We're sent TO
her without making any records at all Of
marks Or numbers. A large
over-issue finally developed itself: very
naturally. and the cashier lett the old lady
to bear the brunt Of the difficulty. |
THE Nero PopULATIoN.-A gentleman
versed III snch matters, who has been
making some examination into the returns
,f commissioners and assessors OF taxes,
or various counties Of the State, estimate
he loss Of negroes to the State of Virginia,
since 1850, at t'vo-tifths Of the entire
lum mbe1: This, III spite OF the fact that
10 inconsiderable number Of negroes who,
n TO, mer years, had been sold and taken
Sonth have returned TO their old homes.
W hat has become Of this crowd of human
,einy,-not less than two hundred thous-
md? Some, not a very large number,
pave gone North; but the remainder,
what has become Of them? Do the fig
