BUSINESS PROSPECTS FOR THE NEW YEAR
The new year will open with a more fiattering
business situati n than was anticipated few
weeks since. when so many sensational rumors
were afOat of a general financial crisis. A COM
paratiye statement shows that there have been
two hundred less failures of business firms for
the season just closing than there were in a SIM
liar period in 1865; and two-thirds of the aggre-
gate this year are made up of small firms. The
Boston Herald. in its cheerful authorizations for
1s7c, comments quite justlyoupon 1869. 1t says
that business has not paid 50 large profits this
season in other seasons since the war, but
there has been no sudden shrinkage of values
which a fair margin for profits would not cover,
and the failures which have taken place have
generally been of weak concerns, where they
have not resulted from outside speculations. II
must be remembered that merchants engaged
In legitimate trade have made a good deal of
money during the last six or seven years, and
we must give them credit for sagacity sufficient
TO provide for q depression in trade of which
they had ample notice. Great wrong 10 done by
the circulation of false reports about the stand
ing of well-known houses in time when money
Is stringent and a feeling of uncertainty per-
yades financial circles. Sometimes these rumors
are circulated maliciously, to injure credit,
sometimes to gain point in trade by influence
ing the markets, but more frequently, we Judge,
by gossiping wonder-mongers, who have no
object except to tell all they know and rather
more Such people should be suddenly shut up
or held to strict responsibility for the mischief
they make

Libel suits are pretty cheap affairs nowadays,
but the one on the oldest foundation We have
heard of lately is that threatened by MIR. Benja-
min +. Camp-a gentleman occasionally seen
about the Capitol lObbies-against the New York
Sun for having reported him as expressing the
opinion tia. ''there was nothing so good As good
eating eNcepl religion" Camp declares that he
has been hurt ~ the Sun IN his tenderest point
his standing in the Methodist Church-and
wants damages; yhereupon the Sun hastens to
retract by affirming that what Camp really did
say was that 'next to good eating there was
nothing 50 good as religion" At last accounts
Camp was trying to figure out whether Dana
had Helped the matter by his "retraction.-

A morning contemporary thinks the 4" compo-
sure Of the funeral ceremonies for Mr.. Stanton,
and the absence of exhibition of either 10Y or
sorrow, was commemorative Decidedly we
should say, so far as the "joy'' is concerned.
joyful funeral ceremonies would be an innova-
ton, and not at all commendable. But il did
not strike those present at the ceremonies that
there was wanting the exhibition of sorrow. Of
real grief. Mr.. Stanton, despite his acerbities,
had as warm personal friends as ever man had,
and very many of them followed him to the
grave Yesterday.

Female apathy and contempt have killed of
two Of the woman suffrage associations in New
York cify-the two that made the most noise
and promised the greatest longevity. One was
a"Woman Suffrage Association, BY name and
the other was exactly the same thing under the
milder and more captivating title Of the ..Work-
1ngwomen's UniOn-" Among the members of
each were women of as much brains persist
ence, logic, and loquacity as any similar body
has ever bOasted of. The women's Right,
Association in this city has come to the same
untimely end. 1t made some noise for awhile
but very few women could be induced to have
anything TO do with it. Latterly its meetings
have been purely farcical, and the last attempt
to hold one utterly failed for want of either So
rosists or audience, the concern having dwin-
died down to two or three no account he bid,lies
who can neither crow or lay eggs. The fact is the
women of the country will get the right of suf-
frage when they want it; but they have no idea
or making themselves ridiculous in public to
that end any more than they can be persuaded
to wear Bloomers in behalf of dress reform.

We hear that some Of the parties engaged in
REMEMBERING the houses, under the recent act
of the Councils, are representing to citizens that
they must purchase the numbered plates from
them. and that no plate can be supplied at less
than 30 cents The fact is the citizens can put
up their own numbers, provided it is done with
IN sixty days; and though the sum of six cents
The lowest price for a numbered plate-may be
equitably due to the numberers for their trouble
OF measurement, we take il they cannot enforce
the payment OF even that amount under the
provisions of the act. As a matter OF convent
ence. il will probably be well for citizens to
make arrangements with the numberers to put
up the plates; but the latter should be made to
understand that they have no powers of com
pulsiOn, and that they are obliged by their con-
tract to supply numbers at as low a rate as six
cents where higher priced numbers are not de-
sired.

IMPORTANT II TRUE--The Washington cor
respondent of the New York rribsne sends to
that paper . report to the effect that the Ad-
ministration has now under earnest consider
alton the propriety Of changing It's course with
reference To Cuba, and speedily recognizing the
belligerent rights Of the Insurgents, and says -
"This course Il impelled by the evident feeling
Of the people of the country, and the temper Of
the majority in Congress. The report further
states that Secretary Fish and Senator Sumner
have expressed, within three days past, such
views as would indicate . changing policy to-
ward the Cubans, and q higher confidence in
their future. The President has been informed
by leading Republicans In Congress that the
country Is greatly dissatisfied ct the Cuban
policy of the Administration, and one of the
leaders Of the House assured the President that
il would be impossible to prevent in Congress
severe criticism of the position assumed in the
message when the holidays were over unless
some early and favorable action were taken on
the Cuban subject. In further evidence of the
probability of the change indicated, Senator
Sumner has assured q gentleman Of high posi-
ton that he was prepared to sustain the recog-
milton Of Cuba as soon a. he became convinced
that the Republic was committed to emancipa-
ton. In the same interview, the Senator init
mated that he was now more favorably inn.
pressed on that point. The Administration Is In
possession OF Official copies Of President Ces-
pedes' proclamation Of November 30, and OF
detailed accounts of the operations of the Cubar
army under the Cavadas, the favorable charac
ter Of which documents may have had some
effect"
