The Business Prospects of the Autumn.
SINCE the autumn Of 1866 the business inte-
rests of the entire country have been languish-
ing. Various causes have combined to pro-
duce this stagnaton. A feeling of general in
security in the finances, an anxiety on the
question Of reconstruction, as well as the pres
sure of large supply of goods on hand, all
Joined to keep down that activity which is so
earnestly desired by the business portion of
our citizens. We do not belong to the class of
which Mrs. Gummidge is the type, nor are we
advocates of the Seward optimism; but, look
ing at the prospects of the country from dis
interested point of view, we see a much
brighter path fer mercantile transactions di-
rectly ahead of US. Many of the oppressive
causes have been or are about being removed.
The dread of a financial crash, which has been
so prevalent, is now speedily disappearing.
The people see that, although our currency
is inflated, there is no immediate
sign of crash. The Governments credit
has never been better, and the unani-
nous declarations of all political parties
in favor of the sacredness of the national
debt, as well as the union of so many
interests of the masses with those of the Gov
ernment all tend to remove an unexpressed
fear that the day of a panic was not far off.
The removal of this dread will put in circula-
tion funds heretofore lying idle, and tend
greatly to resuscitate the activity of our bust
ness marts. Then, again, the supply of goods
laid in in 1866 has grown gradually smaller,
until, by the arrival of the fall, it will be
almost exhausted. The fabrics bought at
high figures two years ago have been sold for
less, the purchasers finding it impossible to
carry them longer, and hence new stock is
called for. Thus, by the simplest rule of sup
ply and demand we may anticipate an active
iall season. The anticipation of this is already
causing our business men to feel more hopeful.
lnen, lastly, the vexed question of recon
s'ruouon looks as though it would at last be
definitely settled. The fight so long continued
. AZ i's' ABOUT ceasing, by reason of the con-
ques' oi one OF the parties. The struggle be-
tween 'he executive and legislative depart
nen's' pursued through two sessions by the
obstinaey OF Mr.. johnson. is almost ended bv
his defeat, his utter rout. with a criminal
disregard for the mercantile ;ntorasts of orr
land, he has been seeking to delay reoonstruo-
ton for personal ends, willingly and ,v;lfullv
casting all our business interests to thu ,;ods Il
he could but gain his ends. At last boraroI
the prospect of asolution of the difficulty seems
nigh, and with it the revival of trade 7,n =
come We therefore expect a lively season
and congratulate our merchants on the nrog
pect, as we do our farmers ON the excellence
of their crops.

ThePresiient's Speech.

The following is the speech of resident
johnson, in reply to the address that was made
to him, at the serenade in Washington, last
night: II
e FELLOW CITIZENS 1t is not my intention to
make an address upon this occasions, but SIM
ply to tender you my thanks for this demon
stration-a demonstration approaching what
your fellow-citizens have declared in the recent
elections in various States Of the Union. They
will appreciate your response to whatthey have
done, and send back greeting that the Union
of the States must be maintained laccoldf 6 TO
the original design of our fathers. !
I confess | am gratifed, but not surprised,
at the result of the recent elections. | have
always Misunderstanding confidence in the people.
They may sometimes be mislcd by Il Lying
spirit in the mouths Of their prophets, = but
never perverted and in the end they are Al.
ways ght. In the gloomiest hours through
which have passed and many OF hem, God
knows, have been dark enough-and when our
Constitution was in the utmost peril; when onr
free Institutions were assailed. by a formidable
force and our great Republic seemed to be tot
tering to its fall, and when [ felt how vain were
my efforts alone to pcrserve these institutions
in their integrity, and TO save the Republic
from ruin, was still hopeful; | had still an
abiding confidence in The people, and felt as
sured that they, in their might, would come to
the rescue They have come And thank
God they have come, and that our Republic
may yet be saved Tremendous cheering
1t was but the other day that officially de-
clared that the remedy for the present unhap-
by condition Of the country must come from
