A NEGRO jury was a short time since en-
panneled to try a cause in Richmond, Vir-

THE Seventy-eighth Highlanders, now
stationed at Montreal, are having severe
test OF their powers of endurance in that
cold climate. Although there has been
only about three inches of snow, the
weather has been extremely cold, and
frosted ears and faces are very common
Until few days ago most of the soldiers
wore the kits, but they are now allowed
to wear trousers, and most of them have so
far conceded their natural rights as to
adopt the new order. The pipers, how

the kits Before the adoption OF the trou-

on Frfday night OF last week. Her body
was horribly mangled, as several trains
Spesset over it before it was discovered.
She had previously been seen in .Bucyrus
e"and Upper Sandusky, but nothing is
known as to her, name or residence. She
was probably walking on the track, and
was overtaken by aspassing train.
On Saturday, evening, just after dark,
Rev. Gustave Bush, German minister of
this city, was unceremoniously knocked on
the head as he was passing along one of
our principal streets. The man who in

to Mr.. Bush and Immediately esca ped.
Subsequent explanations have revealed the
"A fact. that Mr.. Bush, who, is an inoffensive
man, was taken for some one else, and that
the blow was intended for person who in
some way had awakened a feeling of jeaI-
ousy in the breast of the assailant, says
the Ne,oark Advocate. II -tSTr2 .

OF the death ofEMrs,Ami Lowe, of that VII
cinity, by fearful accident in a saw-mill
sswhichs he was attending, as follows : In
-ithe1gearing was a belt tfghtener, hung to
the collar beams OF the shed, which beams
were spiked up. At noon on Saturday, two
= of these collar beams to which the tighten
er was attached, fell across the main belt
ranning to- the saw, while Mr.. Lowe was
measuring board the full length of the
log from the saw. The belt carried the
beams forward, sweeping him along with
them on the saM, and throwing him Beyond
1t, some fourteen feet. Both his arms were
cut of, the leo one in three places, besides
bad cuts on the head and one thigh He
:. lived till Sunday morning about nine
o'clock; retaining his Consciousness till the
last, though suffering great agony.

THE FINANCIAL PROSPECT

The trade OF the city, in dry goods and gen
eral commodities though large in the aggre-
gate, is unsatisfactory in detail In many
leading branches marking down is the order of
the day, and prices in numerous eases are now
lower than before the Rebellion. The ap-
preaching Winter promises to be hard on
trades, and severe upon labor. The latter Will
have reduced employment, attended with high
prices for provisions. All articles of food are
in demand for export at prices which make
it certain that cheap food is not to be
realized from the present crop. Capital is as
timid as at any time since the Rebellion COM
menced, and long engagements are everywhere
avoided Few or no railroads are being built,
new manufacturing enterprises are not thought
of, mining speculatiOnS are in contempt and III
no department of industry is there a vigorous
demand for labor In the commercial centcrs
there is, to be sure, Il fever of speculation
in stocks, giving an appearance of vi
tality of deceptive character, wholly
unlike the feeling of doubt as to
the future pervading all legitimate business.
"Shrinkage" stares trades in the face so far as
their assets are concerned, while the other side
of the bll-book is unmoved. Contraction of
the currency still in operation, and morally
sure to continue in spite of the protestations of
inflationists, has brought the business of the
country to point where it becomes apparent that
specie payments must be resumed before matters
will permanently mend. To careful observers
the indications of opinion from responsible
representatives of all political parties are that
the reign of irredeemable paper money is ap-
preaching its end, and with it comes the set
tlement of accounts by those trading upon it..
The policy of contraction so strongly urged by
Secretary McCulloch cannot be overturned or
impeded by Congress- and to advocate infla-
ton will be to consign those who do so to
private life. There was never better time to
keep out of debt, or to get out of debt, than
the present. Cash is daily becoming more val
liable, as any one can prove who takes 1t in
hand and visits any one with goods to sell.

Democratic triumph in New-Jersey would sat
isfy him that Congress itself is an uncOn-
stitutional interloper changing on the
verge of the Government and vic
tory in New-York would establish that
our true Constitution was the one adopted at
Montgomery in 1861, and not at Philadelphia
in 1877. Sufficient Democratic majorities would
repeal all laws and make Mr.. Johnson the
State. The Tenure of Office bill was first pro-
posed in principle and advocated by Hamilton,
indorsed and defended by Clay, calhoun,
and Webster, carefully and thoroughly dis
cussed for several weeks by the ablest lawyers
in the Senate, held in reserve for nearly a
year before its passage, and finally passed
with great unanimity over veto so feeble as
hardly to attract notice. Of course the Presi-
dent may test its legality, as bull tests the
cOnstitutiOnality of locomotive. But he Will
encounter a fearful rebuttcr.

Steps were taken yesterday in this city
toward systematic settling and improvement
of the lands upon the line of the Union Pacific
Railroad, an association having been organized,
embracing many of the prominent railroad men
of the country. One of the most benefcent
results of the construction of the great iron
highway across the continent will be the facil-
tiles it affords for rapid settlement of local
tiles, which, without its aid must have waited
the slow progress of the frontier" before they
could be made serviceable to intelligent emf
grafton. There is opportunity for a great and
good work in the line which this organization
has marked out for itself

in a Cable dispatch, but they have effectedaa
union with Menotti Garibaldi, who acts now as
Generalissimo of the insurgents. Under his
leadership they have given battle to the Papal
Zouaves at Veroli, in the Province of Frosi-
none, and defeated them, with severe loss
There is, of course, immense rejoicing through
out Italy. The Pope, it is said, thinks of
leaving Rome and seeking an asylum in Ba-
varia. Garibaldi has issued another stirring ad-
dress to the Italian nation, calling them to
arms for the Liberation of Rome. Mazzini ex-
horts the people of Rome to rise and proclaim
the Republic. 1t is not likely that the procla-
nation of Mazzini will have great effect. The
Republican party in Italy in general, and IN
Rome in particular, is growing; but to-day it
is most probably in very considerable minori-
ty. To proclaim a republic at this time would
not only divide the whole National party of
Italy, but it would be strong temptation to
the Government of France to interfere.

We lately condemned the dangerous and
in this cOuntry-utterly useless practice of
hurdle racing. In the hurdle races yesterday
at Jerome Park, one of the horses fell, and
the jockey was killed. Perhaps that added to
the piquancy of tho sport, for we have no.
ticed that the public particularly throng those
exhibitions where there is a special danger of
the performer being killed; but there are to-
day a widow and five orphans whose pro-
tector and prOvider was yesterday sacrificed to
the greed for the sensational. Is it too much to
ask, in view of this sad calamity, that the rest
of the prescribed hurdle races at this meeting
be dispensed with9

An instructive table of the total vote of
nearly half the counties i'll Pennsylvania ap-
pears elsewhere. These are the heaviest cOun-
ties, and embraced in 1866 nearly two-thirds Of
the Gubernatoral vote. This year they show
a falling off in the Republican vote of 2G,416,
and in the Democratic vote of 1918. The
enormous gains" of the Democracy over their
vote for Clymer consist of 10 votes in Hunting
don and S,255 in Philadelphia In every other
county they lose, their entire falling off being
about six per cent Of the vote of 1865. The
Republicans fall off nearly ten per cent. The
total loss of vote, as given in the table, is
37,159 or not quite ten per cent.

An eminent and veteran liar addresses HIM
self day after day to the task of telling lie
big enough if possible, to induce The TRIBUNE
to notice him. Here is one out of nearly dozen
of his latest efforts:
Again when invited by that Medium Colorado
Jewett Mr. Greeley requested Mr Lincoln 10 send hn 10
Canada suppcating for Peace from 'COnspiratOrs,
with bribe OF 800 100000 for Slavery
The fact that Mr.. Greeley requested moth
ing of the kind, but demonstrated against being
sent when Mr. LincOns messenger most unex-
pectedly appeared before him with direction
that he should start on that most unwecOme
erand, is happily beyond question. He would
gladly have paid two other mems expenses
rather than his own, if sending those two
would have answered the Presidents re-
quisition. And, SO far from supplcating" any
Rebel for Peace, the overture came to him
from them, as all men do know, save such as
choose to ignore the most conspicuous facts,
and believe instead an utterly groundless fab
rication.

The interesting letter of our correspondent
on the Union Pacific Railway gives vivid
picture of the difficulties which have to be
overcome in prosecuting this great national
undertaking, and afford gratifying evidence of
the thorOughness with which the work is being
done. The constructing parties have had to
contend with the natural disadvantages arising
from the great distance over which their mate
ras and supplies have to be transported, and
also with the floods, and the cholera; but more
than all, with the Indian tribes. The work
however is making rapid progress.
