MONEY.

The general aspect of business to-day
shows an improvement in nearly every
branch of trade. Our large wholesale
dry goods and boot and shoe dealers are
now receiving their fall stocks, two o
the latter houses having during the pas
few days received four thousand cases o.
boots and shoes. As yet, however there
is but limited increase in the demand
for money. Depositors and customers
are supplied with necessary funds by
the banks at 10 to IL per cent, and in
the open market rates range from / ] to
per cent per month.
Exchange is making slowly, with the
supply about equal to the demand.
Commercial bills are taken at par and
sight drafts on Eastern points are sold
at ic premium.
But little is Transporting in the coin
market Dealers buy gold at lll4 to

latter figure. In selling ll2i is the rate
asked.
Local investments are generally
steady with a limited demand for rail
way bonds and shares, light request
for State securities, and a moderately
active demand for city and county in
debtedness. County warrants are bought
at she and sold at s6c; purchase of

The officers connected with the.
Navy-yard at New York, gave
Prince Alexis, of Russia, a grand
reception and ball, on the night OF
November 29th. \ line of car
riages, filled with guests, two miles
in length, were kept waiting from
three to four hours before their oc-
cupants could reach the ballroom,
SO great was tile jam. Il is hum
Hating to read that VIXEN tie Duke
entered at ten and onc-iialf o'clock,
a general rush was made to get
near him. How ridiculous they
must have appeared The cream Of
New York society, bcdecked i'll the
furbelows and gew-g -gaws ota charac-
teristlc extravaganza; prldlng them
selves on their wealth and superior
refinement and independence; rush
ing, crowding, squeezing, jaming,
like a set Of pumpkins at n horse
show, or crowd of half demented
nincompoops to see a striped clown.
Away with such disgusting snob-
berry five were disposed to be fa-
citious, like some of the Democratic
journals of Oregon, we might say
that such disgusting ''etfusiveness"
is the legitimate outgrowth of the
Tammany rule; but that would be
equally erroneous with charging it
to Republican rule. 1t exhibits the
lack of good common sense, as we'll
as knowledge Of the elementary
principles of politeness, among those
who go to reception balls i'll New
York.

ing his official duty, should he fail
to employ the power which the
Constitution and laws of Congress
have obligated him to use iii such
emergencies. Should the President,
refuse to execute the laws to the let
ter, as required by his official oath,
and thus substitute his own will and
inclination in the matter, the charge
of despotism would then justly pre-
vail against him but as it is, it is
without foundation. While a des-
potisln the most oppressive, intol-.
Grant and blood-thirsty the world
ever saw, exists in the Democratic
party Of the South, charge Of that
kind from their sympathizers i'll the
North against the party which has
i'll the past and is now preventing
them from expressing the weak and
poor, and from subverting the Con-
stitution and substituting in its
place the will of an oppression-iov-
ing aristocracy, falls to the ground
by its own weight of inconsistency.

Agreeable People.

Mankind may be divided into
two general classitications, either
agreeable or disagreeablc. TO one
or the other of these, each individ-
ual belongs. lie, practically, is
sort of lnagnet-he either attracts
or repess. Hence, first impressions
are often taken as strongest indica.
tions OF character. We say Of a
new acquaintance, like him, or
dislike him. Errors, in this way,
are often committed, it is true; but
nevertheless such is the practice,
and is as often likely to be correct
as erroneous. We look at the cut
Of a man IS countenance; the facial
lines; the glance Of his eye his
language and tie manner Of his
speech his gestures and motions
his dress and general get up; and
from these our deductions are
drawn. We say of one who im-
presses us favorably, he has the ap-
pearahce ola gentleman lie diiflses
a great ttnl, pleasing influence. such
people attract us; gain our conf
dence we contide in them. In an
alyzing the character of ole ofthese
agreeable people, we find If difficult
to name the qualities which are
the most agreeable. There is a
colnbili iation Of agreeable elements,
this we know; but to name them in
the order of their importance and
relation, and give to each its right
shade Of influence, is task involv-
ing the n;ost delicate discrimination.
He is polite, cheerful, pleasant,
kind, friendly, sincere; sympathiz-
ing, considerate all these and
more how mach, we cannot tell
we sum it all up by saying, that he
seems to take pleasure in making
himself agreeable to everybody, and
striving to make everybody feel
agreeable. Such people are a bless
inA in AL the walks OF life.

Democracy is in deplorable fix.
It appears more than halt dement,
ed. It's Inconsistencies are ulpar-
allelled in American politics. It is
more fantastic in its ''departura"
tumblings, than Chinese rope
dancer. 1t is unjointed and unnerv-
ed, and has fits. 1t has no head at
all any more, but its bowels are
kept in continual stir by all sorts
of infirnlities. No wonder the
Missouri Republican, wants it to be
passive" Some Southern polltl-
clans thought to cure the old hulk
by seducing Senator Trumbull to
become its head during tie next
Presidential campaign. NO, says
Trumbull, mot against Graut.
Grants defeat would cause a reac-
tion In the South which would be
worse than the present state OF at
fairs; but the people are not ready
for a change. Democrats will
adopt the passive policy which is
disbandment. The Republican par
ty is not divided and will poll a
larger vote than in 1868" No hope
in that quarter for distracted Dem
ocracy to find a head, Trumbull,
like the Missouri Re3>atbliean, be-
lievcs III tile 'sno nominating plan
SO far as his interest extends. But
Democracy, wildly bent Oh the
most extravagant departures" as
we'll as humiliating rebuffs, rushes
down to Massachusetts, and asks
Senator Sumner to become it's head
piece for the next Presidential cam
paign. Sumner! can it be posi-
bic? Truly it cans't, and a Journal
said to be founded by Tammany at
Washington, called the Patriot,
heads the measure. Sumner, OF
course, will not accept, and the next
dive of Democracy will be for Fred
Douglas.

A Most Terrible Affair.

Mrs. Sarah 3. Carter, q widow
lady of Bunker Hill, Illinois, was
recently brutally assaulted by her
nephew, Frank Wilson, and left in
the road near her residence for dead.
From there, in a state OF complete
nudity, he ran towards town to the
residence ofRev. Mr.. Smith, pastor
of the Methodist Church, and sprang
through the closed window, carry
ing away the sash by the violence
of his entrance, and severely cutting
himself by the fractured glass. Nr.
Smith and his wife were seated i'll
the room which he thus entered.
Before his presence was scarcely
realized, he sprang towards Mrs.
Smith, dealing her terrific blow
in the temple, and then seized her
throat and attempted to choke
her. Fortunately tor Mrs. Smith,
her husband was there, who almost
instantly closed with Wilson, and
threw him to the floor. Shortly
after two constables appeared who
took him in charge, clothed him,
and placed him in confinement.
Wilson was supposed to be insane.

The Difference.

Those of our readers who have
studied the characteristics of the
two great parties which have
moulded public sentiment and CIV
en- point and direction to public
measures for the past ten years or
more, will recognize the correctness
of this statement: that while the
Republican party has rdvanced
steadily and faithfully on the line of
its avowed principles to their sue
cessful development, the Democrat
ic party has departed widely from
its ancient tenets; has been tossed
about by counter currents of opin-
ion among its own adherents, until
now it is entirely destitute of any
clearly defined, oruniforlnly accept
ed chart of public principles. Before
it bathed its hands Of oppression il
the best blood Of the nation to per-
petuate and extend slavery, it was
a power in it's unity of faith. The
perpetuation and extension Of hui
man slavery was then the golden
plank in It's platform. The cohorts
of Democracy, from ocean to ocean,
and gulf to lakes, rallied to the be-
hests of the slave-power, as did. the
negro chattel to his masters whip.
The charm of unity, however, was
| broken by the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise. That not only
introduced an element of discord
into the Democratic party, but it
caused the birth of that party
through whose influence and power
the nation has been purified from
human bondage. 1t is true that De-
mocracy elected the next President
but a portion of her children passed
| OtlO HUH ullelcI ucI llOu tttlc. ILOIiA
before the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, she had set the exam
pie of departing" from the faith Of
the Democratic fathers. Slavery
had become Heaven-ordained in
stitution instead of curse and
this precedence of "departing," has
been faithfully adhered to by the
party ever since. At the time of.
| the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, the position of the Southern
Democracy was, the Constitution
and slavery everywhere, in States
and Territories. Douglas Democ-
racy was, the Constitution and
slavery by ''squatter sovereignty
in the Territories. The position of
the Republican party was, the Con-
stitution and universal freedom, as
the Democratic fathers intended.
The success of the Republican ticket
| in 1860, prompted the Democracy
to take the horrible departure" of
trying to break up the Government,
for the purpose of establishing a
Southern despotism. A good many
Of the party in the Northern States,
and many in the South, too, could
not stand that, land they departed
into the Republican ranks. Since
then the departures have been SO
numerous, that time would fail us
to tell them all. The Republican
party, however, has advanced stead
| lily and successfully along the line OF
the Constitution and universal free
dom, until it's humane and eleyating
purposes have well nigh been ac-
complished. The nation is stronger,
happier, freer and more prosperous
to-day than it ever has been, in spite
Of the rebellious outrages Of the Ku
Klux and the opposition of the
!. Democratic party. 9.

A WONDERFUL BRIDGE. E.-Yhe
bridge now in process Of erection
across the Mississippi at st. Louis, is
one ofIthe wonders of the age 1t
is to be q tubular, cast steel, arch
bridge, supported by the abutments
and two piers the latter are 515
feet apart, and ,497 feet from its
nearest abutment, making three
spans of about 500 feet. It's great
est span is the same as that OF the
ISellenberg Bridge over the Leck,
All arm OF the Rhine, Holland. Tel
ford's suspension bridge across the
Menal Straits has span of $40
feet. The Victoria tubular iron
bridge Of Montreal exceeds this
greatly in length, being 6,6o0 feet
Z II miles,, but it rests upon
twenty-tour piers, and its spans are
mainly only 275 feet. The suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara spans s21
feet above the water. The East
River Bridge will span 1,600 feet,
at height midway Of 130 feet.
