BUSINESS Dull IN New YoRK The
New York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger writes:
son all hands we are again hearing
complaints of dull times. The West is
not sending on its grain as freely as was
expected, and many of its debts here still
need liquidation in consequence. AS yet
there are scarcely any signs of the Christ
mas and New Years trade which in GER
tain lines Of business usually begins to be
visible about this time"
The Dry Goods Reporter says =" The
unusually large number of stores and dwell
lings for rent and for sale in New York
city at the present time indicates transi-
tion period in real estate. 1t was former
ly a difficult matter to obtain a store in
Broadway, and persons had to wait months
for a vacancy but at present there is
scarcely block below Canal street that
does not contain one or more stores for
rent. It is nearly the same in the side
streets off Broadway. Some Of the large
business blocks, constructed under such
promising auspices, have failed to realize
the anticipations Of their owners, who have
been obliged to make considerable conces
sions to tenants. Some large stores, tha
formerly brought $42, 900 year, can nov
be obtained for S25, 900, with but few ta
kers. The reduction has not been 81
heavy in the case of the smaller class o
stores, but in these the tendency is decid
edly downward. In the Bowery, on tn
business avenues, and in the sister city e
Brooklyn, there are now more stores to b.
rented than at any period since the crisi
of 1857"

site Pondtown school house. He was con-

Works. He was an urbane and genial
gentleman, and his loss viii be deeply felt.

Henry Ward Beecher has delivered him
self of stirring protest against the neg
lect OF the Confederate dead at Gettysburg
by the government and Northern people.
He went over the battlefield recently, and
was shocked at the exposed remains and
robbery of the shallow graves and tren-
ches in which the poor Southern slain
were not deeently buried, and whose prop
er reinterment has never been cared for
since, while with the Union dead the con-
trary has been the case. He refers to the
fact that g We disburden the gibbet ten
derly and give sepulture to murderers, I"
and asks, "Can it be possible that a great
and generous nation will much longer suf-
fer the Confederate dead to lie disheveled

The Evils OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Appreciation of the evils Of our system of
two currencies, regulated by the general
government, is shown in an article on
..The Incredible Power of the American
Chancellor of the Exchequer," published
in the London Economist, suggested by
the recent panics in New York in the stock
and gold markets. After asserting that
the English nation would deem it most ex-
traordinary and most pernicious if Mr.. Ro-
bert Lowe, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, could excite or ruin the speculations
in London, the Economist contends that
Dir, Boutwell,, under the greenback sys-
TEN. has the power to make the price Of
gold what he pleases, as well as the rate
Of interest. The Economist argues as fol-
lows: 1.-The large daily receipts of the
customs are paid in gold, and if that gold
is kept in the treasury and not sold, the
price Of gold can be raised as high as the
government like. Again, if the govern
ment FIRST accumulate large stock of gold,
and then sell it for greenbacks, it can raise
the rate of interest as high as it wishes.
There is no money at New York but
'greenbacks,' and by selling gold, and
keeping the paper paid for that gold, mon
ey can be made scarce at will. The gov
ernmsnt is not now going to do so; bu
they are going to sell gold and buy bond
with the money but they could do it, ant
it is the most extraordinary power eve
conferred on any government. No financ
minister in Europe ever was the fnancia
despot that Mr.. Boutwell, is in America.
This is certainly one of the great evils o
our system, but only one of them. Their
are others equally as bad; among then
the fact that the national banks are an ex
elusive institution with immense specia
privileges, and no requirement to redeem
their issues in real money.

fersonian SAT the last session Of the
Legislature a law was passed to protect
partridges in Chester county, making it
unlawful to shoot this bird for period Of
five years, under penalty of $25 fine for
each offence. Sportsmen should make
note Of this, and our farmers should rigid
ly enforce the law against any one violat-
ing it. This fine bird is becoming very
scarce, and the provision of the Legisla-
ture to protect them is a wise one.

that he was jockeyed out of the election by
political trick, Cooper's name having
been withdrawn on the day before as a
ruse to test Johnson's full strength, the
Stokes men agreed to join in a vote for
Mr.. Cooper if Etheridge would withdraw

ScousDnRLIsM ExposED. D.-Rev. A. Rit-

community service for which he deserves
its thanks. He has been at some pains to
investigate and expose the imposition prac-

he was cured of consumption in few
weeks by very simple remedy, and be-
ing " anxious to make known to his fellow
sufferers the means of cure" he offers to
send the prescription, to all who desire it,
free Of charge. Circulars which accom-
Ipany this prescription, represent that the
formula is that Of DR.. Churchill, of Paris,
aphysician who was gaining high rcpu-
tation from his cures of consumption by
the use of his preparations of the Ectract
of Blocgetti in combination with the Hy-
Pephosphifes Of Lime. Now, it appears
that tlodgetti is unknown to pharmacy,
