VIII be of short Duration.

Six months ago, when depression in bus
iness and tightness in money did first SEN
sibly manifest themselves, we were assured
by the Republican press that it would be
of a very short duration. There seems to
beno let-up yet. New York papers tell us
that business in that city, and, per conse-
quence, all over the country, will have to
drag along through the summer with
out material animation, and look to the
fall to give it invigoration and improve
ment. We are told that distrust reigns.-
That may be; but the Republican party
rules, and Congress has triumphed over the
President in the matter of policy through
which to dispose of the South. Last fall
we were assured that if the people should
sustain Congress- repudiate the President
and chastise the Democratic party with a
decisive defeat. confidence, which was even
then being shaken aspen-like, would be in
vigorated, and everywhere-in city, town
and hamlet,sin the vale and on the noun
industry and thrift would make glad
all hearts through bounteous prosperity.
And now we are told to wait until fall, and
hope that then some relief may come. Des-
olation, poverty and famine in the South,
aud Republican political adventurers ad-
ministering the Government and practicing
the utmost prodigality and wastefulness!
No: so long as this condition OF affairs
prevails, there will not be tull-handed pros
perity in the land.

IS Will You Let the Slave Power
Rule ?''

Such was the question put to the North
ern people through the press and from the
stump by Republican editors and politi-
ticians before the War. /" The Slave pow
er" was numerically berated-not so much
on account of the institution itself, as on
account of the alleged undue influence that
institution enabled Southern Whites to ex-
ercise in the Government. More than any
thing else, iEwas the:political power ofthe
South that the Republican politicians were
opposed to. In the basis of, representation,
the slave population counted as three-tifths'
now that the Blacks are free they will count
as five-fifths. Thus on the Black portion
of the basis of representation, the political
power of the South, when it is again re-
stored to it, will be Increased two-fifths.-
And whoever supposes that that power
will be otherwise directed and used in its
increased power than when it was feebler
and denominated the "slave power will
be doomed to disappointment. The changed
relation between the Whites and the Blacks
is not likely to change the hitherto cherished
views of the South in relation to Tariffs,
Currency and Ppblic Debt. AS hostile
now as in the past, will the South be to
swindling Tariffs, redundant paper cur
rency and crushing public debt. So those
who thought the political power of the
South would be restricted through the War
will realize that it has instead been in
creased

A Cruel Joke.

In the aristocratic town of Salem, Mass.
the other day, gentleman -noted for nis
generous hospitality invited large party
of Legislators, members or the General
Court of the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts," as the Legislature of the Ola Bay
State is called, to attend grand dinner
party at his residence. The invitations
were accepted unanimously. The law
makers had been obliged to enact prohibit
tory laws against the arrangement of thirst
with eXhilarating beverages, and in Boston,
where the Legislature is i'm session, they
were obliged, in obedience to the behest of
their constituencies, to avoid the appear
ance of drinking anything stronger than
cold water. But here they expected to
dine the good old fashioned way. Suffice
it to say that when they were ushered be-
times into the banqueting room they found
the table set exactly as had been antIcipat-
ed. Each plate was flanked by goodly
array of glasses, suggestive of the differ
eRt wines that would accompany the res
pective courses, from the lemon favored
oyster on the half->hell; aud the soup and
fish. to the dessert, Coffee, and so forth.
But, alas the host, while he did the honors
gracefully, and very bounteous meal
was served gave them no drop of wine. In
point of fact he felt bound to apologize
after dinner had progressed through two
or three courses, for the wine glasses,
which he ordered away. saying that the
major domo of his establishment had not
yet accustomed himself to the ''prUhibi-
tory" sentiment which is now prevailing
in Massachusetts. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that the dinner passed off very
quietly.

Heavy FOrgeries I'm PrebIe COun-
ty, OhiO-The Operator Escapes
the COnseQuences.
n the Davton JournaI of the 2Oth. ]


[From the Dayton Journal of the 2Oth.]
A chronic case of dishonesty and crime
was, we are credibly informed, recently
brought to light in Preble county. Will
liam Clifford was a well-to-do farmer, re-
siding on large and valuable farm in the
neighborhood of Euphemia. Besides the
regular business of farming, Clifford had
been for several years engaged in buying
and selling stock, &c, and he had on sew
eral occasions borrowed money in consid-
erable quantities from wealthy farmers in
the vicinity of West Alexandria, in most
cases giving his note, with brother-in-
law named Jacob Fudge, for security.
A week or two ago, we art informed, Gif-
ford met another brotherin-law named
Fudge, in West Alexandria, and asked him
to go on small note for him. Fudge re-
fused, and made some remarks disparaging
to his credit, and Clifford left the room
greatly offended. A farmer who was pres
ent remarked, after Clifford Withdrew
Why, you don't seem to have as much
faith in @. as your brother Jacob, who goes
on his paper to any amount desired
Fudge replied that none of the family had
much confidence in Clifford, and he would
warrant that Judge Fudge wasn't on his
paper for So. This alarmed the farmer, and
he showed Gifford's note to Jacob Fudge,
who pronounced the name forged to the
document. This expose brought matters to
a crisis. -
In the meantime Clifford aScerCalned what
was going on, and he made over his farm.
stock, ETC., to his brother-in-law, Jacob
Fudge, and gathering up some ready means
he fied-it is not generally known where
leaving his family to be provided for by
their relatives. Besides the farm, there was
large amount of stock on hand-enough,
Clifford assured Fudge, to make him safe
on the notes to which his name had been
signed. The matter got noised abroad, and
then Gitford's paper began to come in. The
stock was soon swallowed up in liquidation;
yet the notes kept coming in for redemption
until the brother-in-law, seeing no proba-
BILE end to it, shut down on the transaction
until he can make himself safe on the farm
which is by no means a sure thing; for
about $4,000 of notes have been redeemed,
and it is estimated that about $4,000 are yet
outstanding.
The forgeries of Clifford over there have
been going on, it is affirmed, some five
years. The notes were not given in his own
neighborhood, and as they were regularly
renewed, and the interest punctualy paid.
the fraud was not discovered until the ac-
cidental conversation about surety in West
Alexandria, the other week, brought it to
light.
The conduct of Clifford is most inexpli-
cable. As his farm was unincumbered,
and he had not lost in his speculations in
stock, it is mystery what he did with the
money he raised on the forged notes. The
mystery will probably be developed in the
course of time. The affair has created a
great deal of exciten ent and wonder in
that part of Preble county, and has greatly
shaken the confidence of the people in pri-
vate negotiations.

A Gloomy Picture for the Louis
lama Planters. .t--t.

The Neto Orleans Crescent has been max
ing some inquiries into the prospects of the
planters the coming season in Louisiana,
and below is the picture it draws:
unfortunately, however, for Louisiana,
the prospect is still dark for the alluvial
lands. The tremendous floods which have
marked the opening of the spring, have
broken the levees, and there is no longer
any chance of makinga cotton crop in the
upper river parishes, or between the Mis-
sissippi and the Atchafalaya. The utmost
that can be expected is to make corn crop
after the waters shall have subsidized. When
we reflect that the four parishes of Madi
son, Carroll, Concordia and Tensas have
made 100000 bales of cotton, we may esti-
mate the extent of the loss which the flood
has inflicted on the agriculture of the State
and the commerce of New Orleans. Add
to this the extent of cultivable cotton land
submerged on the Mississippi side of the
river, and it is moderate calculation that,
by this cause alone, the crop will be re-
duced by 100000 to 100000 bales. or say,
in money, from forty to sixty million dol
lars. This mischief is already DONE"

By reference to the third page it will be
seen that B. F. BINGHAM, Esq, the City
Solicitor, has given it as his opinion that
the Metropolitan Police Bill is unconstitu-
tional.. twill also be seen, by reference to
the Council proceedings, that on motion of
Councilman Ross, the Council resolved to
test the constitutionality of the aforesaid
bill, and have directed the employment of
B. F. BINGHAM, Esq, and Judge THUR
MAN to institute the necessary measures to
that end. We are glad the Council has
taken this prompt action. We shall, doubt
less, soon ascertain whether Republican
Legislature can with impunity disregard
the Constitution to subserve partisan ends,
and to needlessly create offices into which
to put Republican politicians out at the
elbows and knees.

Four thousand dollars is the annual sal

sufficient in the estimation of some Repub-

year should be added thereto. In the con-
dition business is in, and the difficulty al
most everybody nowadays has to make
both ends meet, this proposition is about as
