trade of the South has recovered the prosper
ity it enjoyed before the war A comparative

total amount was s42,3lO 447 against Sio.-
275,75. in 1860. Taken in connection with
the large consumption by the South of foreign
goods purchased in Northern cities, this

Peration of commerce in that section. The

equal extent, the aggregate value of the ship
ments to foreign ports in 1870 amounting to
SOS, 5G7,2io, against $207 ,457, 262, in 1860.

the EdgeGeld and Kentucky, Memphis
and Clarksville, and Huntsville rail
roads, all Of these being entitled to cred
its for mail services, which are not in
dispute. The State claims an abatement
in the amount Of bonds. end alleges as
the reason therefor that the property
was purchased by the Receiver in charge
Of the railroads for the use and sole
benefit Of the companies then owning
them, and at extravagant prices, and
the State, after the property was placed
in possession Of the companies, exc
cuted bonds TO prevent the stopping Of
the road by the seizure and removal Of
the rolling stock from the road by
the oficers Of the government
The companies being iasolYent, it is
claimed that the State should only
be charged with the actual value
Of the property at the date Of sale The
State claims credit for the value Of the
bridges, railroad iron, spikes aud cars
taken, and also for the same taken from
the Winchester and Alabama railroad,
in 1868, and appropriated by the Gov
eminent, and wants the Quartermaster
General to examine and settle the
claims, giving then credit for the prop
erty and railroad material taken, TO be
applied as credit on the bonds in ques.
ton. The bill is before the Judiciary
Committee, with the chances IN favor Of
its being reported at an early day.

Next week Mr.. Stanley is to come be-
fore the public great deal. be is to
deliver two lectures 10 st. James Hall
the finest lecture hall in London--and
he is to speak at great meeting in the
Mansion House on the subject OF slavery
in East Africa. He is sure Of an en-
thusiastic reception everywhere, and the
people are only sorry here that he can
not stay longer. In some of the Scot
tish towns, where he has lately been, he
was welcomed with overwhelming kind
ness. In Scotland, Of course, it is
borne well in mind that DR.. Livingstone
is kindly ScoA, and blood in Scotland
is very much Micker than water, and SO
the man who discovered and succored
Livingstone is held to be entitled to a
welcome of national and peculiar fervor
In Paisley, busy manufacturing place,
all the mill girls-many of them fine,
bouncing lasses, too--turned out to
greet Mr.. Stanley, and, it seem, insisted
that each and every one must kiss him
Now this, you know, would have been
delightfnl-in moderation-especially to
an unmarried man, to whom kisses
would presumable have the flavor Of
novelty. But still, you know, life is
short, and there are facts to which even
Stanley is unequal. How long would it
take to kiss two thousand girlsl ] SUP
pose Mr.. Stanley found that thing could
not be done, and so, as the story goes,
he fed to his carriage and escaped.
