The Annual Meeting OF the memhers-Report
Of Operp tIons Daring 1S09-Election Of ON
GERS for 1870.
The members of the Commercial Exchange
held their annual meeting this morning In the
rooms of the association, No. 421 Walnut street.
The attendance was quite large. Alexander
j. Derbyshire was called TO the chair, and
Robert Gray oficated as Secretary The annual
report was read and approved. 1t contained a
resume of the business of the past year. 1t
called attention particularly to the necessity for
increased railroad facilities, and the need Of new
steamship lines to Europe: -,
The following paragraph from the report VIII
an commercial point of view the year 1869
has been one of great depression; not confined
To isolated localities, but felt with more or less
severity from Maine to Texas, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. In no branch OF
our national industry has there been that quick
ened activity which 10 former years marked the
periodical currents of trade. Our manufacturers
have found 1t difficult to obtain cost for their
products; our agricultural interests have
suffered severely from the extremely low prices
which have ruled aud still govern our markets
both at home and abroad, whilst import
srs of foreign goods have been subjected
to harassng, Vexatious, and serious losses by the
violent fluctuations in gold and general shrink
a9es In values The chief cause of these rn-
satisfactory results during the past year has
been the want of harmony between the cost OF
production and the market value of the product.
Nearly all kinds of merchandise have greatly de-
preciated; some having actually fallen considera-
bly, below the range of specie-paylng times,
whilst there has been no actual shrinkage in the
prices of labor or in the expense attending busi-
ness transactions. Labor still commands the
high wages of 1865, and house and store rents
have even advanced. THIS conflict of labor with
capital has greatly restricted the margins for
profit, whilst in many branches of trade unusual
risks, inseparable from transition state, have
placed heavy balances on the wrong side OF the
ledger" .fsh

Senate.
Continued from hs Third Edition.
Mr., Cole, in reply to previous statements by
Mr.. Sherman concerning the accusations against
the special officers sent out by the Internal Reve-
nue. Department to investigate the seizure, said
he desired the bill to be referred to a committee
to show their truth or falsity. The officers who
made the seizure originally had no appeal to the
Secretary of the Treasury, though the claimants
of the whisky would be heard before that Off
GER. The former, being subordinate officers,
could not appeal from the decision of their
superior, and therefore the question was exclu-
sively one between the owners of the property
and the Government. He believed the matter
involved the success or defeat of concerted
efforts of parties in Ohio and Kentucky to con-
troll this trade on the Pacific coast, in the hope
of realizing millions of money at the expense of
the Government.
Mr.. Hamlin preferred the reference of the
controversy to the authority appointed by law
for the determination of such questions, asserting
his confidence in the Secretary of the Treasury
and Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Mr.. Thurman could see nothing of unusual
importance in the matter, and deprecated the in
