DOWNHILL.

/ II Is ensy going down hill. II is con
stnntly accelerated motion, unless thore
is some holding back or some obstruction
in the way. The reius aro tigh!ened and
the old horse, who draws the light pleas
urc wagon or buggy, tries the strength Of
his harness as he goes town the hill for
the safety Of tho riders The stage driver
puts his weight upon tho breaks to steady

and sound TO tho bottom. The brakesm ON
on the downward grade of The railroad
whirl thcir respective wheels to obstruct
and retard the too rapid motion, which
may endanger the lives of hundreds by the
running off of the cars and general
smash-up.
So it is sometimes with nations. So /.
has been for sometime with tho boasted
Republic of the United States. 1t has
been going downward at fearful rate. 1t
gathers fresh impetus with each reyolv.

and destruction below. Who shall deny

to put on the breaks and check the down

is it even now too late ? We write this on
the eve of the Presidential election. To-
morrow the fate of the Republic will be
decided. Should Greeley and Brown be
elected, there will be some hope for the
country, but we are bound to confess that
we await the result with Stf and tremb-

there is a faintgimmer Of hope left. We
shall watch this with eager and straining
eyes until outer darkness settles down

Two facts ofprimary Importance
will be developed by the next
monthly report of the Bureau OF
Statistics First, that the com
merce of the country is increasing;
and second, that cur imports have
greatly exceeded in valae the ex-
ports. For cxample-the imports
for the ten months ending Ap'!i
30, 1871, amounted to S43l, 1869
while the exports for the same ror-
iod were in value S423, ,S29,Gl9: but
for the corresponding period end
ing April 80, 1872, tho amount IL
imports was S52l,2Ol ,459, and iR
exports, Si09, Al ,56l. For these
ten months, the excess of imports
over exports, including foreign cN-
ports amount'd d toS93, ,0o5, ,S11. In the
former months the excess was only
sl3, ,25O,7l0. "These are important
facts" says the Now York Herald,
"that call for the serious attention
Of Congress aud our merchants.
How are we to prevent tho carry
ing trade going moro and more 10
corcirners?" As the Presidential
election will be settled before tho
next meeting OF Congress, perhaps

~ef was recently shown in bussoh.
About a month since, q portion of
one of the wharves gave way un-
der the weight oftwo hundred tons
of pig iron, letting the iron into
the water, and burying it deeply
in the mud. Work was immediate
ly commenced to recover tho iron,
and has been successfully perform
ed. The Boston Post thus de-
scribes the manner of working:
The divers work each four hours
per day. Such is the admirable
contrivance as to the supply of air,
and the connection between the op-
orators at the top and bottom of
the water, that tho business is con-
Quoted with great expedition
From ono to five pieces of iron are
raised every three minutes, steam
engine being employed for tho pur-
pose. The water is muddy and
the divers are unable to see the
sought for treasure. They there
fore depend entirely upon the sense
of feeling. The water is from SOW
en- to fifteen feet deep as the tide is
high or low. The operation is dali
ly Witnessed by many interested
spectators. Tho divers are not
men of especial vigorous power,
but they labor without difficulty
for full four hours at time. The
sensation is then of chillness, not
exhaustion. The airA is supplied
by pump connected with the top
of the divers costume by q rubber
pipe. The pump is in constant
operation, the effect of which is
seen in bubbles rising to the surface
and which indicate the precise To-
cation of the diver. The latter is
kept at tho bottom by shoes with
lcadcn soles and a belt of cast iron.
There is also rope about his waist

pulls in a jerking way when there

HOW EMIaRANTs ARE sWINDLED.

In correspondence recently had between Super.
intendent Casserly OF the Bureau OF Emigration,
and DR.. J. Rosing, Consul General OF the German
empire at this port Mr. Casserly refers to the mpo-
sitions practised upon emigrants in the exchange
OF money, and puts the loss to emigrants at from
five to ten per cent in exchange by the risk, in ad
diton to being paid In whole or in part In counter
felt currency OF this country. "A similar tra1ic,"
the Superintendent charges, "s also carried on
by the pursers and other 0flcers OF the
fireman and Hamburg vessels during the voyage to
this country" Mr.. Casseriy recommended that the
emgrant retain his money until his arrival In Castle
Garden, where there are responsible brokers TO
give him full equivalent. The response OF the
Consul, In view Of the vOumin0us testimony taken
by committee OF the last Legislature on tEa SUBJ
ject, Is rather n0n-committal but he recommends,
Instead OF the exchange Of their money at Castle
Garden, for the emgrants not to convert "thcsr
money at all before arriving here,n or BY advising
them TO convert the same into drafts at the we'll
known agencies OF the New York German Society,",
established In all important places In Germany.
