REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

Resume Of Operations During the Week.
The week which has just closed, although ind
eating throughout such falling or in general bYs-
ness as preludes the termination Of the season, has
been, taken altogether, rather brisk, the general
feeling In the market being favorable to sellers and
prices rather above than below mere appraised
valuation As has been said on than occasion
during the week. the absence Of the Jews engaged In
the observance Of their great festival OF the Passover
fromthe mars has operated to some extent to depre
ciate property and with their return this week to
'Change better prices may he anticipated. Notwith-
standing the great number Of bogus sales which have
been made from time to time the season through
out has been most successful one for
auctioneers and agents. The amount OF property
brought into the market has been much In OF
that OF previous years, and the attendance at the
sales greater, bidding spirited, and altogether
much more activity and speculative energy ex-
hibited. The special attention which the HERALD,
with other OF the daily newspapers, has
given TO the operations at the Exchange in
New York and the City Saesroom, Brooklyn, has, no
DOUBT, contributed to a great extent towards this
result, furnishing in that regard only another in
stance Of the advantage which every business
derives from discriminating and correct criticism
and due publicity. Below Is resume Of the opera

BISHOP EASTBURN BREACHES IN A CONGREGATION

Agreeably to notice in the daily papers Of

baths since, preached and ociated In the old South
Congregational church of Boston. The Independent
says:-He had on no gown or bands, but his usual
Citizens dress; he offered extempOraneous prayer;
h6 ventufed TO speak Of the house they in as the
temple Of God and in place Of the prayer for bishops
and other clergy he prayed for al ministers of the
gospel and the congregations committed to their
charge" How much more garing his Otfense than
that of Mr.. Tying Rev. DR.. Nicholson, one Of the
leading rectors in the same city, having also ocated

Agreeably to our promise of last
week, We lay before orr readers the
Governors Message which was deliv-
cred to the Legislature on Thursday
last.
1t is very brief but is overAowing
with wholesome sugges tions aud rec
concentrations, that, if complied with
by the l., gis allure, will result in great
good to. the people throughout the
State. The first very important sug-
gestlon, IS, that there be some change
IN the Assessment Ian, for the pur-
pose of obtaining the full valuation Of
the property within the State; defiu-
ing some specific regulations whereby
Assessors can be made answerable
for gross violations Of law, in the ex-
ercise of their duties.
The Legislature is recommended to
provide for revision of the Statutes !:
unless they are Of opinion that Con
stitutiona1 Convention will be shortly
called.
The evils of local legislation are,viv-
idly deiineated, in which he saws the
volumes of private and local laws
have become monuments oflegislative
folly. 1t is enioined that matters
requiring local legislation be left with
the courts anu county boards Of supervi-
sors; and he thinks this class of Iegis-
ton has been carried on by the Legs
/ latnre by er1ston of the constitution.
1t is recommended that the Office of
Bank Comptroller be abolished as

State doing business under the bank.

He closes his message By distinct,
i've language that Congress Is pursa-
ing the proper course IN relation to
the people Of the South. aud the en-.
torcement Of the Reconstruction act.
and that any policy which might fall
short Of placing the government Of
those States in the hands of the loval
people there, would be doing great IN
justice 70 loyal men everywhere. and
its tendency would be to make Treason

Taking the Message as anindex of a
line of State Policy, it Is very explic.

would bespeak for it a careful and
