Business men are, perhaps, not exceed
ingly cheerful, though the easier money
market of the last few weeks ought to
brighten their faces to a corresponding de-
gree with their prospects. The Philadelphia
Ledger holds the following advice:--
Though there is no anticipation of a
panic, yet that is a contingency that may be
realized; and every straw upon the current
AS, for instance, few failures of dry
goods houses in the large cities, the stoppagc
of here and there mill, and, even more
discouraging, the announcement of debtors
to their creditors that they must accept set
Elements or do worse--ail tends to excite
apprehension, and to increase the timidity
of lenders. None of this caution is seen by
the applicants for call loans; such transac-
tions being just what lenders prefer, as plac-
ing their means within instant call but in
the case of commercial loans, extending
over three months borrowing is exceedingly
difficult on very broad class of paper.
When it is impossible to sell one half the
notes offered by dry goods jobbers produce
merchants, grocers, and like traders, the
prosperity of business is an impossibilty /;
and to talk of the imitation of prices by
speculation, under such state of things, is
sheer nonsense. The prevailing disinclina-
tion to discount commercial paper must
have the effect of producing reaction from
the recent expansion of credit, and conse-
quent restriction of business.

They called her courage. The g Why
and Wherefore" know not. We called
her "Queen" as often as Courage, because
she shyly refused TO join in our noisy play
preferring rather to sit by herself, looking
far away, beyond us, beyond our vision
But we gathered round her as the twilight
came on, and begged her to talk to us, tc
tell MS of what she'd been thinking. The
grey eyes grew large and bright, the pale
cheek flushed, and from between the child
lips came wondrous fancies, day-dreams
and night-dreams, and we drew closer. But
the next day we drew away, and the next,
and the next she was g so queer" we said.
Perhaps the knowledge of her fathers
sterness, her gay brothers neglect, encour.
aged us in our heartlessness-at any rate
we stood aloof, repulsing the sensitive child
by cold looks still colder words. + a..
One day she stopped me as I hurried by
detaining me with her little trembling fever
ish hand-what bad she done Why die
we treat her SOP and l answered inpatient
ly, swell If you must know, it's because
you're so queer" y. y
A week passed. Courage was ill-dying.
On the day treated her so cruelty she went
home $50 tired" Then the fever and de-
lirium--and all time she talked of being
"queer." Would God and the angels think
sos or even if they did, perhaps they'd
love her little.
And God did love her-so well, that he
gathered her away to himself; away from
eyes that tao l,lte looked love; from hearts
that too late were kind; from arms that
too tate would clasp her close; and left us,
but this memory. ...s

Grant
That staunch Republican journal, the Bos-

ton Commonwealth, says =
All the signs of the times point to the al
most unanimous nomination of Ulysses s.
Grant, by the Republican Convention of
May next, for the Presidency. 1t is true he
has been unusually silent in declaring his
views; but this may easily be accounted for
upon a not improbable surmise that he does
not desire to beg for the nomination. That
he would feel honored to be solicited by his
fellow citizens to accept the position, there
is no doubt But il must be their free choice,
uninfluenced by any overtures of his own.
Such character is rare in our politics, and
his singleness of purpose and dsinterestcd-
ness of motive wins the popular applause.
So far as General Grant has acted since the
war closed, he has given evidence that he is
man OF extraordinary good sense. That
he is In full and hearty accord with Con-
gress has been evidenced in many ways and
on numerous occasions. In this last respect,
we have the testimony of Senator Wilson,
Representative Boutwell,, our late Congress-
man, Mr. Gooch, and others of the Massa-
chusetts delegation, not to mention distin-
guished names from other States.f At the
proper time, without question, this will be
amply shown over the Generals own sigma
ture; for the present, while the nomination
is pending, he will doubtless remain silent
and let his acts speak for him. aii
The Nation has the following on the
"policy" question >
1t would be an excellent thing to have
President Dithout q policy. 1t Is the busi-
ness of Congress to frame policy, and the
business of the President to execute it. For
many years the opposite theory has prevail
ed, and has led to boundless corruption. 1t
is the fact that a policy is the Presidents
o,0n, or that he thinks so, which makes him
so anxious to bribe men into its support.
This theory of government has, in the times
of Buchanan and johnson, almost led to
revolution, and has now eliminated in the
present discreditable administration of pub
lie affairs. We shall be heartily glad to see
an end of this mode ofgovernment; and we
think an opportunity is presented for put
ting an end to it, by the election of man
sympathizing with, but not debating, the
popular decision, and who will carry It out
because 1t is the will of the people, and not
because it is the will of President Grant"
Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1868-01-02

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Post has the following,-- ,ao
The Statements rumors, etc., In refer
ence to the position of the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee on the Danish treaty, arc
mere matters Of speculation. The com.
mittee, prior to adjournment took no action
onthe subject. The opinion outside OF the
Senate and in the House is avcrse to the
scheme, and it is understood that the Secre-
ry OF State expresses some anxiety about it.
He is engaged in the preparation of papers
showing the advantages likely to be derived
by the United States from the acquisition in
commercial point of view. The Danish
Minister is here furnishing all information
required from the Danish Government.
Alaska is another source of uneasiness. The
obstinance of the House in not voting an ap-
preparation causes Mr.. Seward great yexa-
tien, and he is apprehensive that his pet
scheme may be defcatec there in toto. Sew
eral members of congress here are compiling
papers, showing its utter worthlessness to
the United States, and others are preparing
legal arguments to show that the ratifying
power rests with the House, as, If they fail
to make an appropriation, all further nego-
tiations on the subject must drop. II is said
that at the time of naming the territory, Mr..
Seward was anxious that It should be called
after himself, and 'ntimated his wishes in
that respect to prominent officials.
