One Of our steamboat owners authorizes
Us to state that each steamboat owned
here would contribute one cord OF
wood per month TO the poor Of the city,
the same TO be turned over to a responsible
committee or society, and by them TO be
distributed to the needy and deserving
among our permanent residents. This is a
liberal proposition on the part of our gen.

others who are better able come forward,

Gritty is approaching, and the poor 10 our

ciaL List OF the Cd inst. says:
The expectations of an active fall trade,
based upoR good crops and light stocks of
goods throughout the country, have not
been fully realized, but commercial calcu-
lations during the last few years have 80
often proved delusive, that the trading
classes have come to regard such disap-
peintments with comnendable philosophy,
In fact, experience has taught them that
the only theory which can be implicitly
relied upon, in forecasting the CONNER
cial future, is that which takes into ac-
count not simply the probable wants, but
also the industrial condition, prospects and
burdens of the people. The means in the
hands of the masses are limited, when
compared with war times, and it is hardly
probable that the persistent economy 80
long observed will be TeiiEquished while
the present burdens Of taxation are ad-
hered to, and while the currency remains
below the par of gold. Business men are
looking for some decisive congressional
action upon these paramount questions
daring the winter. Measures looking to
the replacing Of the public debt at a lower
rate of interest, to the re-adjustment of the
tax system, and 10 the resumption of specie
payments, were proposed at the last SEES
sion, but failed, either for the want of time
or the disposition 10 perfect them. In the
interim, these measures, in all their bear
ines, have been discussed among the peo-
pie, and the country is as well prepared az
il ever can be for a definite and settled
policy. For this the capital and the labor
of the country are waiting, and until it
shall be secured there can be neither con-
fidence, stability nor permanency, and all
the business interests Of the nation must
rest on an unstable foundation. With
surplus Of most of the great staples Of the
country, the export trade is nevertheless
held in check by our inflated currency and
expensive labor, and gold, which is among
the cheapest OF all our commodities, is
sent abroad, with our bonds, to meet the
constantly rieing trade balance against us.
In view of this state of affairs, therefore,
the present congress can achieve no more
honorable reputation than by addressing
itself at once to the solution Of the tinan-
cial problem.

Quite a lively fight occurred on Summer
street yesterday, between two men whose
names we could not learn. The fight COM
menced about an old grudge. The face of
one was very badly bruised by ticks from
his antagonist. No arrests were made, as
"nary" policeman happened to be travelling
that way. The difficulty was finally
settled and both parties after taking a
drink left for their homes.
