These figures, which are very in
structive, do not warrant in retrospect
nor in prospect, the gloomy forebod-
ing of the last five years. That the
business of the country did not Gull
inmate in immortal smash at the end
of the war, was a result which neither
vindicated prophets nor pleased
our enemies. The Government had
stopped its enormous expenditures,
and was floating on a currency en-
pirical to a period of peace. Instead
of all these disasters the war closed
upon an era Ofunexampled prosperity,
as the tables show.
How the future looks to business
men depends entirely upon their con-
dition to perceive that future as to
themselves. The most ~pOrtentOus
cloud of trouble which brOods over
the community is the tendency toward
indiscriI1inate credits and the cut
thrOating competition in small trade.
Local business is small, and even in
the larger cities is divided up among
thrice as many stores as need or have
excuse to exist, and this induces a low
standard of morality in all Over-done
sections which is operating to destroy
all conservatism, whether of credit or
purchase, just as in 1867. Notably,
however, to those who follow the legit-
innate laws and the equities OF trade
the outlook has no terrors.

SUIT INVOLVING $4,000.
The Exchange Bank Of MurfreesbOrO vs.
The State Of Tennessee.

From the Nashville Banner of Saturday.
The case of Ben Clark, James
DromgOOIe, John d. James and A.
W. Moss vs.. the State of Tennessee
and the Bank of Tennessee, was taken
up and argued yesterday by John
Reid, counsel for plaintiffs.
This suit has been in the courts for
the past nine or ten years. 1t was
brought against the State and Bank OF
Tennessee to recover the bonds al
legged to belong to NJ. Spence deposited
in and held in that bank previous to
the suspension of the Exchange Bank
OF MurfreesbOrO, of which Spence was
the President. After such failure the
notes of the Exchange Bank became
WORTHLESS, a large amount Of them
being held at the time by plaintiffs.
1t is estimated that from one hun
dred TO three hundred thousand dol
lars is involved in the suit.
John Reid and Abe Demoss are at
tOrneys for plaintiffs, and General
Bate and Governor Neill S. Brown
for defendants,

BUSINESS.
Failures Throughout the States and Ter
ritOriss During 1863.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The year just passed was, in results
Of its trade, both satisfactory and IN
satisfactory. The former because the
wholesale apprehensions and prophe-
cies of widespread commercial disas-
ter and financial commissions We're not
realized; the latter because the general
addition to surplus has not been large,
because the average of dealers and pro-
ducers have had a hard time TO come
out even, and because an exact esti-
mate would show on the whole an in
crease Of liabilities beyond any gen
eral and prOpOrtiODate swelling of as
sets. Before 1869 the devastated and
inert condition of the South was a
perpetual menace TO trade circles.
That section, however, demonstrated
a stability even under prOstTatiOn
which was big with promise of reha-
bilitatiOn. The promise has come
true, insomuch as it was the South
during last year which came out mar
vellOusly strong iE a business sense,
which really kept the balance, or
rather compelled the balance Of BUSH
ness results to show, if not favOrably,
at least not despairingly at the end
Of the twelve months. The North it
self has not realized duly Onits invest
ed capital. Had the results in our
own section been not Offset by the
encouraging figures of the elastic
South, and had they been the criteri-
on to go by, the aspect Of trade would
be one of h~opelessness, and the pres
ent status one Of complete eXhaus-
ton instead of conceded stringency.
The most reliable statistics from all
the States Of failures for 1869 show as
follows, being, too, contrasted with
those Of the prior year:

The Strike.

WASHINGTON, January S.-The
operators complain that the Associated
Press will forward no statements but
those emauating from the Western
Union Telegraph Company, thus vir-
tually shutting them Off from cOmmu-
nication with the South. They say
the strike still continues throughout
the North, East and West; that the
men are as firm to-day as the first day
they struck, and determined to fight
it out to the end. Not one operator
of the Western Union Telegraph in
this city who was in the employ of the
company the day of the strike has
gone back. The National Labor
Union has rendered two hundred
thousand dollars to support the tele-
graphers. The Labor Union through
out the country is making the tele-
graphers' cause their own. The Typo
graphical Union in this city held q
meeting and rendered sympathy and
financial aid. A member of the
league says when the C~alifOrnia
operators are reinstated at the former
salary, the difficulty ends, and all the
strikers are prepared to go to work al
once.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Our Jefferson street neighbor pub
lished yesterday morning the answer
OF Mr.. JOHNSON to Mr.. DoNovAN's
bin " to vind5cate the Avalanche in its
assertions befure the election, that he
asked protection from the British
Crown" We see no particular neces-
sity for that, inasmuch as the afirma-
ton has not been brought in question.
Toavoid being compelled TO take uaths
against his conscience, and to evade
serving against his friends in the ranks
OF the then enemies ofhis adopted State
and country, ne sought with address,
Ingenuity and %sagaciOus strategy, the
protection of q British subject. When
DANA reigned in Memphis, and
PLAYED the tyrant without re-
straint. arresting non-combatants and
venerable men, our best citizens Of
sixty years of age, without charge
against them, and only for the pur-
pose Of extorting money, and when
no man Of any age was safe, and even
women had reason to tremble under
the abused power of the United States,
it Is not strange that men should seek
the protection OF a foreign power.
The address with which, as a war
measure, he asserted his claim, shows
only the more his capacity for a try
iug emergency. 1t was right to
eight the devil with fire." and there
is no moral responsibility for acts I'M
der such Internal duress as that of
dana. As to the matter Of the cit
izensuip Of Mr.. JOHNSON there is no
question. As he affirmed be-
fore the election, 50 he an
swers and proUes now, that he
is. Iy the law of the land, q citizen Of
the United States, as fully as any ma
-turaliz.d person. The claim Of British
pro ec.ion makes no difference what
ever. That claim may have been i'll
founded; and 80 it appears to have
been. Ihe oath before Hume F. Hill
Was all in accordance with the truth.
lie had never declared his intention
10 become a citizen OF the United
States" because being the son Of a
citizen, there Was no need that he
should. lie had never 4" forswOrn his
allegiance" for the same reason. This
certainly Is " much ado about moth
ing" such pranks are not uncomm-
mon in a political canvass. But, now
that 1t is over, We think it is time that
they were done with, and the public
business uuObstructed.

NEW YORK, January "a special
dispatch from Montreal says that
Caldwell was discharged yesterday by
Judge Crunsal on the charge of muir

arrest on other charges was served he
made his escape. Immediately after
the announcement Of his discharge
his counsel walked him out of the

was on the point Of serving the war
