Notwithstanding the present unfa.

nothing to encourage fears and despon-

The Baltimore Sun money writer
hopes the BiaaReIGl Chronicle may
prove good prophet; for, It remarks,
"the expenses of the last few months,
judging by the accounts reaching Us
from different parts Of the country,
have been severe enough to make even
a stand still and hold on policy gener-
ally acceptable to the country at large,
in lieu OF tie dread contingencies
threatened by recent bankruptcy and
failures at the North, and by want,
disorder and starvation at the South
and grinding taxation everywhere.
There Is one thing clearly evident, that
the mercantile. Misunderstanding and
commercial population Of the country
At large does not entertain a very
bright hope Of any present restoration
OF business"

". Il. Pollock, formerly OF this coun
Is, in which this same Bucklin fig
ures ut his old tricks:
.'On Saturday evening last these
men opened with fresh lot of goods
and great crowd was there and
friend Collins was just coming to
glory at his iavorite business when
Sheriff Sherman stopped all the iun
of quick sales and small profits, by
covering the concern with writ
of attachment laid by Bennett &
Williamson, Of Green Bay, Wis.,
These gentlemen had sold several
bills OF goods at from 60 to 80 days
time to j j. Bucklin, and were
promptly paycd Bucklin then pur~
chased about $500 worth represent
ing that he was soon to be in receipt
of money resulting from the sale oil
some valuable horses. These goods
he repaCked and shipped them under
an assumed name to Rockford, ILL.,.
The Sheriff there telegraphed to B 4

Bennett followed and found that q
portion had been shipped to { linton
He had also & requistion for Buck

through defect in pledging the writ
was quashed apd another credito,

from milwaukee, where a large
amount of goods had been obtained
under like false pretenses, attach ed

Death of Buchanan.

Elk President James Buchanan
died the other day at Whcatland, his
home, IN Franklin Co., Pa, aged II.
He was the weakest Of all Presidents,
not as 3 politician but as a man and
patriot. During forty years he was
the tool Of South Carolina, and un--
der his administration the climax of
dlsuniOn was arrived 1T and every
trap sprung for the rebellion-he be.
ing posted all the while and consent.
ing TO every act Of the South. His
cabinet and bosom friends were ncar>
ly all disunioaists--only enough ex-
ceptious to give information Of what
was going on. Buchanan, like 9th
err leading democrats, had been so
long aud deeply schooled in the State
Rights policy of Calhoun, which
meant only ultimate overthrow of
the government, that they passed in
TO the cold embraces OF death to
country as easily ana freely as pigs
to the wallow. No man ever died
less lamented than Buchanan. Even
the democratic papers, for policy or
from sincere motive arc discussing
the death Of the poor old man as if
he had been the Sultan Of Turkey or
Monarch OF Jerusalem. The Pitts
field Post says " For Buchanan no
tears will be shed, but only sorrow
felt that he had ever been born. -
The n. Y. World hopes his dubious
record, will be covered up with bis
mortal remains +; and the Chicago
Times says, " the weakest of Presi-
dents is no more" Ye gods, who
would ever die having a copperhead
record to live in the history of his
country The n. Y, Herald regrets
this demise did not happen forty
years ago

The Great Church and State Meeting.

rhr great meeting held III 81
James Hall. London, some days
since. TO defend the union Of Church
and State, of which brief account
wa. received by the ocean telegraph,
was, in one respect at least, one of
the most notable ever held in the
British metropolis, The London
Record, in giving a full report OF the
proceedings says -Four Archbish.
ops, ID Bishops, Dukes, 4 Marques.
IS Earls, : yiscounts and Is Barons,
almost ovcrshadowed the IL Deans,
90 Archdeacons, 80 Members Of
Parliament and other distinguished
notables, both clerical and lay. who
appeared to support the Archdeacons
Of Cantesburv. There were nine
speakers, including the most Rever~
ened Chairman and OF these nine,
seven were Peers, spiritual or tenn,
poral, while the two Commoners
were the Dean Of estminister and
the Lord Mayor, the latter of whom
only uttered lew words in favor
Of the union between Church and
State whilst the Dean was cventu-
ally silenccd by the impatience
both OF the platform and ththall."
In such u country as England,
where mans influence is measured
so much by the hight Of his rank or
title, the denomination must have
been regarded as exceedingly i'm
posing. But the influence of the
meeting was compromised, if not
destroyed, by the grand mistake of
its getting up and management
1t was Il meeting Of tho clergy, and
it was TO be expected that when
their cmoulment were in danger
they would rally to their Defence
1t would have been far more mod
est had they left the matter chiefly
to the lacty, and the denomination
would have had ten fold more force
with the people.
The meeting, was stated in the telc-
grapic despatch, was very noisy and
almost riotous. The speakers were
several times prevented, by Kisses
and other demonstrations of opposi-
ton, from being heard, and the Arch.
bishop of Cantesbury, WHO presided
more than once threatened to retire
from the chair, unless the speakers
were allowed to proceed.

Bloomington-The Woodhouse Hotel
There's Much i'll a Name--Foreknowl-
edge and Development.

We yisitei Bloomington last week
for only once since 1862, stopping
two days nj the Hotel owned and
kept by Sine Woodhouse, one of the
best living homes we know of in the
country, though short of room. Mr..
Woodhouse however expects to
greatly enlarge by building on above
and to the end.
Bloomington was formerly known
as Taiton. when it was widely
thought TO he failure in the race of
towns for great Importance. But
since the change Of name there has
spread abroad everywhere q belief
that Bloomington is one of the most
thriving villages in the west part of
Wisconsin. Though sharing in the
very common outside regrets for the
change of name we confess that Tai
ton as it was and Bloomington as it
is are very different towns-the lat
ter being much finer and thliftier
place than its predecessor.
No man knoweth his own be.
ginning or end said an cid man,
and the idea may be turned to good
account respecting the beginning
and end Of new villages. For surely
no man can judge from the first
whether a village is to be q great
success or small failure. Our state
ment of the case especially holds
good when applied to Bloomington,
as we remember the humble rise and
have witnessed the realization of q
fiourishing town, the trade supports
warranting even a much larger bus
mess at present, and in the future
many times as largo as the present.
Physical and relative position, ia
king into account also the farm i'm
provements and speedy rise from poy-
erty to wealth Of the Blake's Prairie
masses, with the soil so rich as to
promise Egyptian plenty for ages,
ard the dark neighboring forests and
