THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.


The New York Journal Of Commerce, about
the oldest and most substantial Of the great
commercial papers of the East, in late issue
makes the following comments on the times
The merry laugh which once greeted every
allusion to possible trouble is now heard less
frequently in the avenues of trade. The finan
cial nOvices who ridiculed thelessOns of expe-
rience, and taught that the heavier the national
debt the greater the blessing, are less glib in
iibes to the veterans of the Exchange, and adj
vocate their crude themes with less assurance
than when the imitation was in progress on the
other side of the summit.
The manufacturing districts have felt sud-
den jar in their machinery, and are surprised
that there should be any check to their pros
perity. while under the protection of the most
favoring legislation. The smaller industries
all over the land have already begun to suffer.
Enterprise has lost its eagerness, and adven-
ture folds its wings. There is unusual restless
ness everywhere. The consumers all over the
land buy sparingly, and seem to have but little
money. What has become of the enormous
receipts which filed everybody's purse who
had anything to sell, until the high prices SEEM
ed blessing instead of a curse Is the money
spent or boarded It does not circulate as it
did, and the rolls of greenbacks are not as nu-
merOus or as plethoric as they were last year.
Has anybody found out that high prices bring
an offset in great expenses, and that in spite OF
high wages, there is less in the wOrkingman's
purse than when he seemed to be toiling for a
pittanceg
What is the impending danger? Simply the
reaction after the debauch. When it comes, a
reckoning will be first in order. Those who
have betrayed their trust, using funds which
were not their own, in the wild chase for sud
den wealth, will be caught. as in q trap, and
found wanting. There will be legion of de-
faulters. Those who have carried a multitude
of schemes in their hands will come to the reck-
oning with great disadvantage, and will won
der, amid the general shrinkage, what has be-
come of the riches on which they counted
Debts will be tangible, fixed facts; and their
uncomfortable array will present ghastlyspec
tacle against the vanishing assets which will
not wipe them out. A day of reckoning and
settlement will be solemn time for ALL and
the hooking lip will forget to curl when this
searching test reveals the ashes of what seemed
the ripened fruits of toll and providence.
The adjournment of Congress, and cessa-
ton of angry sectional discussions, may post
pone the day of reckoning for a little while;
but it must come at last, and the hosts Of shams
and decisions now SO fondly cherished, will
shrivel and fade in its revealing light.

Eers appointed to govern the ten unrepresented
States doubtless have all the instincts of their
race and will not deign TO make themselves the
instruments of a petty tyranny. Military rule
would not be tolerated in this community for
a moment. The attempto Of the British Gov
ernment to quarter garrison in Boston just
before the breaking out Of the Revolution re-
suited i'll series of indignant protests and
finally & rising of the people and bloodshed.
The people did not rest until the garrison was
removed from the city limits. Our own gov
eminent, to its disgrace, has for few years
back been fraternizing with that of Russia, and
it is now introducing the Russian system into
the South. But this Radical attempt to estab-
lish permanent military despotism on por-
ton Of American soil will prove failure.

attempts to revive the exploded devices of the
dark ages on our soil will be of short duration.

THE WAY THEY DO THINGS IN
BR1paEpoRT.-The time Ia Saturday
afternoon, August 17th-the scene, Main
street, opposite a 'squire's office.
Two men appear engaged in CONVEX
sation. One of them raises his voice to
a loud pitch, and calls the other fragrant
names. The latter raises his fist and
knocks the first down, then kicks him
while. -
A high official tsitting in front of the

t1ecting that il Is part OF his duty to pre-
serve peace and quietness in the town,
calls out, Boys, stop that" af1t
The boys" stop, brush the dust from
their clothes with two or three hearty
slaps, walk across the street and take
seats close by the official, who having
witnessed with his own eyes the whole
marks to the guilty party, without the
formality of a trial, at will be. about
five dollars"
The guilty party, doubtless con-
science-smitten, raises no voice in his
own defence, but says he will wait until
his "boss" comes by and get the money
from him.
The high official, the man condemned
to pay fine of five dollars, and divers
others, including small boys, niggers
and loafers, wait expectant. r
The moments would pass slowly and
heavily were it not for the officials
choicest stories, which he now tells
with extraordinary effect amid the up
roarious laughter OF his admiriug audi
tory.
Time flies unnoticed by, and the
"boss" makes his appearance at the Of
flee, is made acquainted with the state
of affairs, pulls out his pocket-book,
pays the fine, and the crowd, satisfied
as though it had been to circus,
disperses.
