Over Trading in ChiCago.

The Chicago tribune says:
The financial feature which, per-
haps, comes the nearest TO making
distress with any, in this commercial
community, is the Indebtedness of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company to
merchants in this city, which indebt-
edness the company have not been
able to pay. The company have, all
along, been purchasing of our mer-
chants large supplies of lumber, iron,
hardware, groceries, paints, oils, &C.,
&C., to be used in connection with the
construction of the road and its sta
ton buildings. At the settlements
about two months ago, the company
was unable to pay the money for these
as it had been previously doing, and
gave sixty and ninety day New York
acceptances instead, and has been un-
able to pay any cash here since that
time on subsequent purchases. The
debt to Chicago merchants has thus
continued to accumulate, until it is
now believed that not less than a mill
lion and half of dollars of purchases
made for "cash" have been thus de-
ferred from sixty to ninety days.
Some estimate the aggregate much
nlBneFi JnOtgu dIIeT cOnSlueIdDle III
quiry, we are inclined to think this to
be near the correct amount. Some
have thought that a large proportion
of this had been re-discounted with
out recourse" in New York, but there
is good reason to think this has not
been the case, and that merchants are
deprived of the nse of a. very large
proportion of the whole amount. The
amounts held thus by single firms
here against the company are said to
be, in some cases, equal to more than
half, and in a few cases to nearly the
whole of the cash capital of the credi-
tors.

Mr.. Curtis, in HGrPeT's Weekly, sets
forth the duty and opportunity Of in
dependent journalism as follows:
"But the more deeply an indepen-
dent journal sympathizes with the
principle and purpose of a party the
more strenuOusly will it censure its
follies and errors, the more bravely
will criticise it's candidates and lead
ers, for the purpose of keeping the
principle pure and of making the sue
cess of the party a real blessing. The
public will gradually learn that only
in such papers can they find true
statements of events, with comments
that aim at the public welfare, and not
merely at a party success. In such
also, and only in such, will public
men be considered impartially, and
the plain tendency of an independent
press will thus be to elevate the na-
tional life and character, and to keep
party spirit within its due bounds.
But only as really able men enter the
profession of journalism is such de-
pendence possible. HypOcriticism,
cynicism, captionsness, persifiage are
not its characteristics, but profound
conviction, tact, knowledge, humOr
and good temper. Fifty such journals
from Maine to California, prosperous,
sparkling, vigorous and rigorous,
would rattle the dry bones of party
hacks, and install most wholesome
terror in charlants of every kind.n
