1t is well known that long bond alwa.'s
commands much higher price than a short
one 1t is safe To assume that during the next
thirty years. the rate of interest in the United
States will decline it has dosle in Europe,
and we have right to expect that such SIX
per cent. securities rs these will be- held at as
high premium MS those of this Government
which, in 1851, were bought in al from 20 to2
per cent. above par. The export demand alone
may produce this result, and 81 the issue OF a
private corporation, they are beyond the reach
of political action.
The Company believe that their Bonds, at
the presen: rate. are the cheapest security in
the market, and the right To advance the price
at any time is reserved.

The MARYLAND TRACT SOCIETY financial
committee of this society has issued its annual
circular in which an earnest appeal is made to
the public for pecunary aid. The deaths of Jos.
W. Patterson and John Clark, Esqs., of this coun-
ty, liberal patrons of the society, are ieelingly
noticed, and of another of our county families
the circular says: "From a home of opulence
and refinement in Baltimore county there has
come to our treasury every year, almost from the
introduction of missionary eolportage, very
large donation, given not grudgingly, reluctant
ly in response TO urgent solicitation, but cheer
fully, spontaneously and of evident good will.
Though the vicissitudes of the last few years so
seriously affected portion of the estate from
which this contribution came that any but earn
est givers would have felt that they had ample
reason for Withholding, still the contribution
came to us as usual. During the past year the
united head of that home, Mr.. and Mrs. John
RdgeIy, OF Hampton, have closed their Pilgrim
age, and from their beautiful home on earth have
ascended, as we fondly trust, to the mansions OF
eternal felicity above"

According to the last arrangement,
the vote upon the impeachment
articles will be taken to-day. We
doubt, however, the Senate's taking
the matter up. We observe that the
New York Herald and the Times take
it for granted that impeachment has
failed. So also thinks ihe Wc-lG.
Asthe London Times says, there is. in
fact, no ground whstever upon which
to remove the President. This is
the view that dispassionate OBJ
server takes. We're the Senate to
remove the President it would re-
ceive the condemnation of the civil
lied world. Well may the President
use to his Senatorial prosecutors the
language of Cataline to the charges
of Cicero-though the President be
no Cataline, and Sumner no Cicero:
"Who brands me on the forehead,
breaks my sword,
Or lays the bloody scourge upon my
back,
Wrongs me not half so much as he
who shuts
The gates of honor on me-turning

The WORKING PKopLE.-In New
York, on Wednesday, out of 1,OO6
advertisements in the variouse papers
for situations and help, it was noticed
733 were for situations and only 273
for help. Showing that the demand
for labor is less than the supply. The
various strikes for higher wages in
New York continue without much
change, and the passenger railway
and omnibus drivers are said to medi-
tate demand for higher wages also.
At Milford, Massachusetts, the 600
bottomers have struck for higher
wages, but their employers refuse to
stop work rather than pay it. In
Milford, there are 1000 shoe makers,
and they are said to have work only
about half the time. Ia London,
several women are said to be earning
their living as wood engravers. The
English iron workers are still resist
ing the contemplated reduction of
wages, and business in the iron coun-
try is said to be almost at stand
still.
