THE PREVAILING COMMERCIAL De.

THE PREVAILING COMMERCIAL, DE-
PHEssIoN.-The following statements
regarding the present commercial de-
preston are from the New York
Financial Chronicle, journal which
the London Economist justly praises
as "a most admirable financial Jour
nal, which all persons interested in
American finances should heedfully
study"
Complaints are universal of the
staSnatlon and the unproGtablere ess
Of business. A spring season so de-
pressed and generally unsatisfactory
as the present, is hardly within the
memory of our city merchants. The
trade of the interior is generally re-
ported dull and unpromising. AL
though the South has realized upon
a large portion of its cotton crop.
1t is found devoid of trading spirit.
and even unable to liquidate much of
It's Indebtedness on account of asst
years purchases. In the Western
States, merchants complain of un-
usual difficulty IN making their col
lections, and have or hand heavy
balance of fall stock; the result being
that their obligations to the Atlantic
cities, IN many cases, have to be re-
newed for thirty to sixty days The
New England cotton mills find the
demand for their goods sv limited,
compared with their production, that
at the beginning of this month some
OF the manufacturers made still fur
ther curtailment of their time of run
nlng. The woolen trade, now one of
our most extensive industries, al
though it recently diminished its ag-
gregate production quite twenty per
cent, finds little relief from the re.
duced supply of goods, and manufac-
turers have to sell u large amount of
their products at a discount from
cost In the leather and iron trades,
similar complaints prevail; ana, in
deed, it would be difficult to find an
important exception to the common
stagnation.

GooD ADVICE. The Richmond En-
qui''e'', after reviewing the new bill,
says:
Such is the scheme. Diabolus
could not have contrived one more
utterly unwise, unjustifiable, inhu-
man and tyrannical It is useless to
argue against such unbridled passion
as alone could have suggested and
adopted it. 'fHe who spits against
the wind, spits in his own face" The
fundamental proposition of the whole
is that which denies the existence
and integrity of our State organiza-
tions. Our defence lies in traversing
this position. Our only mode OF
making this defence is by an appeal
to the courts. This it is our duty to
make. A case must be made up; and
we suppose it may DO speedily done
under the third of the above recited
points, on the question of eligibility
to office. 1t will be contended by the
hungerers and thirsters that the pro-
scrIptlon will displace those liable to
it who are now in office. An order
for eJectment, or an application to
prohibit it, will get the question be-
fore the courts. If it be held that
our State Governments are valid, and
according to the Constitution, then
ali ,he attempts to alter our suffrage,
and to dictate qualifications for State
office, will be pronounced void. We
must bring to judicial test also the
right of Congress to pass martial
law, and to subordinate the civil to
the military in these States, in time
Of profound peace publicly pro
claimed
This is all that we can do; but this
it IS our duty to do, and the Legisla-
tllre should make suitable provision.
We must be calm and patient, but we
owe 1t to ourselves and to our chill
dren, and we owe it to the cause of
constitutional liberty, to exhaust
every civil resource to which we can
appeal, against the enormous injus-
tice contrived against us. If the
Supreme Court shall decide unpropi-
tlously-if it shall rule that a South
ern citizen has no rights which Con-
gress is under any obligation to
respect-thcn we will indeed have
heard the knell of Southern hope
and American liberty.

The MISSING Spoons. official
statement concerning the captured
and abandoned property in the rebel
States, shows that the nett receipts Of
the Government from all such sources
has been nearly so, 100000. This
amount is supposed to represent all
the cotton and other property that
was left by AeetinS rebels, or which
was captured during the progress of
the rebellion. Now, if the Govern
ment gets SO, 900, 600 in this way, it
would be interesting to know how
much the provost marshals and mill
tary officers generally realized in the
same way. What proportion Of the
captured and abandoned property
was converted to the use of such men
as Butler? 1t is 4 notorious fact that
department and district officers APP
propriated such property almost with :
out an attempt at concealment, and
1t IS also known that much of that
property can now be found in the
Northern States. In settling up this
business, would it not be well to
make an effort for the recovery of Il
portion Of the missing 'spoons?"

THE EFFECT OF MILITARY GOVERN

Tuesday, says:
Armed occupation of great coun-

speedily ended, even when the Go
vernment that orders it is ever so
little disposed to multiply the com
plications which are to prevent its
withdrawal. The hour has come at
which our Polands and our Irelands
are to be erected, but who can fore
see the day when they will be trans
formed back again into States of this
Union? That day is purposely post
poned beyond the next Presidential
election. A radical triumph in that
election will postpone it indefinitely.

THE INCOME TAx.-The changes
made i'll the income tax, or proposed
to be made in it, are praised, but
they amount to nothing as relief to
the poor, while they do relieve the
rich by exempting large incomes
from taxation. Instead of the $500
exemption, $1,000 will be exempted; :;
but as this includes all exemptions,
while under the old mode other eX-
emptions We're allowed, the relief is
nominal, not real. According to
one account, other exemptions are
made. 1t is possible that some per
sons will save SlOa year through the
change, and a larger number S5-but
this is by no means certain. On the
other hand, the abolition of the ten
per cent. tax above IS, 900 affords a
great deal Of relief to the suffering
rich, the very people who do not
need relief. A man with an income
of $25, 1000 q year, on $4,000 of
which ten per cent is levied, will,
should the change be made, pay
$1,000 instead Of $4,000.
