WARRINGTON, Dec. 2. - The Secretary of
State, in transmitting to Congress a repert on
the commercial relations of the United States
and foreign countries, says the majority of the
returns contain no information regarding the
commerce between foreign nations aud very
limited statements concerning that between the
United States and other countries, since they
are for the most part confined to cargoes of yes
hence scarcely any information T Relating
to foreign commerce is furnished by which
comparison may be instituted and no account
is taken OF the large part of American merchan-
disc which, in the present degeneracy Of our
mercantile navy, is carried in foreign vessels.
For the purpose OF correcting this deficiency IL
is contemplated to issue additional instructions
to consular officers, requiring them to forward
to the StateD Department statements of commerce,
showing descriptions, amount, and value OF the
imports and exports of each port, as well as
the several countries whence the merchandise
arrives or whittier it is sent The returns of
navigation and commerce contain but limited
information, being confined to merchandise car
ried in vessels properly belonging to the United
States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-General Logan yes
terday called upon the President for the pur-
pose of protesting against the appointment of
General Pleasanton, of New York, as Commits
sioner of Internal Renenue. Logan said he
came as the representative of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and he was prepared to show
that Pleasanton had neither personal nor poll
teal claims to the place. Upon being asked
by the President who he favored, he answered
Douglass. Several gentlemen from Pennsyl-

Douglass. They were introduced by General
The Committee ofthe judiciary
OF the House have taken up the question of ap
portioning representatives among the various
States. At the last session a bill was passed
fixing the number of members of the House at
two hundred and seventy-1ve. This was
amended by the Senate so as to make it three
hundred A new bill will be prepared adjusting
it in accordance with the census. The gentle
man who has the matter in charge says there
will be no interference with the ratio of repre-
sentation for the present.
The Senate Committees
are not yet ready to be reported, and, therefore,
the Senate Republican caucus did not meet to-
day. There will be few changes in the arrange
ment of committees. Schurz and other Senators
who sympathized with the rsvenue reform
movement will not be disturbed in their posi-.
tiOns on committees.

The day After New Years.

One of the most precious of woman's
rights-the right to be admired, compli-
mented, esteemed, and loved-was enthu>
siastically acknowledged yesterday by
thousands of gay and gallant New York
ers. The men had the streets to them>

and a better-looking, more elegantly
dressed crowd meyer graced the thorough.
fares of a modern city. 1t seemed to us
as if all the true manhood Of New York
had turned out to show its devotion to the
sex which few crochety philosophers in
petticoats assure us has "no rights-onIy
wrongs" What did the vast multitude OF
young ladies who yesterday, in groups Of
Suzeraihs in their elegant reception. rooms
giving audiences to their enraptured sub
jects, think of the sphere assigned to
them? Sovereigns of society, did they
desire to descend from their regal dais to
engage in rough'and tumble struggle for
the prizes of the political arena with their
| lieges, who, with gifts in their hands and
loyal greetings on their lips, Aocked in to
do them honor? Not so. They were
proud Of their "Womans Kingdom" and
not fools enough to wish it exchanged for
that Debatable Ground where strong men
| find it difficult to maintain good foothOld
and the weak are almost Inevitably borne
down.
The holiday visitors Of yesterday un-
derstand the wants and wishes Of woman
kind much better than the speech making
old maids and matrons who pretend to
represent the sex. A handsome young
fellow who had made sixty calls during
the day, assured us last evening that OF
one hundred and ten ladies whom he asked
if they would like to vote, 20 to Congress,
sit on the bench, plead at the bar, or per-
form any other public duty now exclusive

the affirmative. We inquired as to the
personal attractions of the ambitious
maiden. SWELL" said our friend, laugh

some fifty winters, rather long favored
as they say in Massachusetts, and adorned
with pair Of purple spectacles.-M r.

Quite commotion was occasioned in
this city last week by the unexpected
announcement that Mr.. G. w. HUFF
schmidt had failed in business and made
an assignment. Charley left town a
week ago last Monday, taking with him
various sums Of money which he had
borrowed from different individuals
about town few days before his depart
ure. His business was on the decline
for long time, but he hung on, trying
his best to keep up and if possible re-
gain his losses. But it was no use, and
he finally had to make an assignment.
Those parties of whom he borrowed
money are assured that they will get
every cent of it again, and We truly hope
they may, for some of them can i'll af-
ford to lose it. Charley had great
many good qualities about him. He
was generous to fault an enterprising,
go-ahead business man, and he has been
great benefit to Lansing. We trust
that he may yet come out all right. His
liabilities are estimated at about $780,.
600. Assets probably S25,O90 or $780,.

The treasury department has issued a
circular, in which occurs the following:
"Those persons who send out circulars
Offering to furnish exact copies of United
States notes of fractional currency, and
sometimes inclosing a slip cut from q
newspaper relative to the discovery of o
dangerous counterfeit, or genuine frac-
tional note, as specimen of those furn-
ished by them, are not counterfeiters, or
dealers in counterfeit money. They either
make no return for the money sent them,
or return small photographs of genuine
notes, or something else which cannot be
used as money. AS this species of fraud
does not constitute an infringement Of any
law of the United States, this department
can take no action against the offenders,
but is compelled to leave them to be dealt
with by the local laws and courts. 1t is
therefore useless to send information con-
corning such operations to tho treasurer
or other officer of the treasury depart
ment."
The fact that there is good deal Of the
kind of swindling above referred to, going
on in the northwest, renders the note from
the treasurer of quite general interest.

Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth Rock.
All the poetry has been knocked out OF
this Arrarat Of the Pilgrims. Those
saints in high-crowned hats did not land
there, it seems. So says Mayor Hall, and
he quotes Bancroft, "the great American
historian" and other chroniclers, to sus-
tain his assertion. He twitted the New
England Society with the fact, ut their an
nual pow-wow the other day, and no man
contradicted him. The entire Plymouth
Rock story is, it appears, cunningly-
devised fable persisted in without compunc
ton, in the face of the record. The Yam
KEGS arc somewhat given to classifying his
tory. The battle they call the battle OF
Bunker Hill was fought Oh Breeds Hill, a
neighboring eminence, and consequently
the Bunker Hill Monument perpetuates
fb. We have waded through Bancroft's
history, but it was heavy job, and we
probably fell asleep over the chapter in
which the Mayfower drops her anchor,
and thus missed the passage that reduces
the New England Blarney-stene to mass
of common granite. However, it the
''storie6 east has lest its fabulous Mecca,
it has acquired real one. The "fore.
fathers terminated their immortal pilgrim
age-why call o voyage a pilgrimage
which means in point of fact long tramp
at Billingsgatc Point! What's in a
name? Nevertheless, Billingsgate by any
other name would smell as sweet. There
is an odor OF profanity about the appella'
ton which one does not like to associate
with the odor Of sanctity in which those
singular men of Goi' are supposed to
have lived and died. If the Billingsgate
brochure were not verified beyond all pos,
sible cavil. we should consider it a fish
story. AS it is, we condole with the
worshippers of Plymouth Rock on the
moral overthrow Of their idol. What is
the proposed transfer Of the national cap
ital to the transfer Of all the sacred asso-
Citations connected with the landing of the
Pilgrims, from Plymouth Rock to Billings
gate? 1t seems like degrading the patric
ian descendants Of those "founders of ar
empire" into mere Goldfish Aristocracy.-
