FINANCIAL MATTERS.
The national banks have Increased 152
in number during the year ending Oct, l,
1872, and in capital $21, 403,47S. The cir
culation has increased about eighteen mil
lions Of dollars. The surplus fund ha
gone up to $l10,000,000, the deposits to
| 1925, 000, 900; the loans and discount TO
S872, SOC, 900, or nearly forty-fye millions OF
| an increase.
Monetary stringency has not been OF late
| confined to this side of the Atlantic. IL
has prevailed in England also, and so close
| ly are the two countries connected that the
inquiry whether the foreign stringency Will
soon be realized or the contrary possesses
some Importance. As to the temporary
character of the financial trouble In Lon
don, there is very little diversity of opinion.
All agree that there is a rate by which
gold can be attracted towards England. All
the Bank of England has to do is TO rsdse
its rate to the right point and hold 1t there
long enough, and the tide will turn, tfle
loan market will work easier and the spasm
will gradually work off. But the trouble is
to decide what the rete must be, how long
it must be held there and the time over
| which the recHperation must extend. IL is,
however, agreed upon all hands that with
the opening of the New Year, or soon al
forwards, she requisite movements will have
run their course, and there are some per-
sons who look for relief even at an earlier
day. The monetary stringency at present
existing in London may arise from scare
ity of loanable capital, but it should De
borne in mind that this is only one of a
number of causes. Such feeling is quite
as liable to be produced by general dis
trust and disturbance of credit. Contrac-
ton of the currency is another frequent
cause of striDgency, with which we have
long been familiar. Such contraction De
gins to produce stringency so soon as II De-
comes clearly propable. The fear OF 1t !:
enough. 1t is discounted beforehand
Some such apprehension is felt now. Ths
gold reserve of the Bank of England i:
down to twenty millions, and If it shouiC
fall much lower the note circulation Will De
gin to contract in the same proportion I'M
der the inhexibie rule of the bank act. Tht
, fear Of this contraction has shaken public
} confidence. But 10 whatever cause thu

The New York Shipping List Of the 23d
inst. says: The tea trade, we understand,
has been disastrous to importers this year,
most of them having, it is said, sustained
an average loss closely experimenting ten
cents per pound. This has arisen mainly
from indiscriminate purchasing in China,
many orders having been sent out without
limits. Some Of the older importers, with
prescience which long experience alone
confers, left the business mainly in the
hands of the comparatively young import
ers and dealers, foreseeing nothing but dis
astrous results from such sharp, If not reck-
less, competition. OF course, John China
man has profted largely by the high cost Of
teas in the supply markets, but, from all
that we can learn, he will not have things
quite 80 much bis own way another sea-
son. -

THE SECRET OF CHANTS SUCCESS.
From the Trenton Gazatte


Now that Mr. Greeley has been over
vhelmingly defeated, every one who was
displeased with bis nomination at Balti-
more is ready with bis pet theory 70 ac-
couut for the defeat of the Liberal ticket
and to cry out Il told you sol" The Lilo
eral ticket was not defeated because Mr..
Greeley was the candidate or because he
was nominated at Baltimore. Any other
nomination, or no nomination at all would
have met with the same disastrous de- eat.
The secret of the weak ess Of the Liberal
movement, or in other words, the strength
Of Grantism, is owing chiefly to three
causes, viz: the monied power, the negro
vote, and the stolid ignorance OF the N asses
North and South. In the first place the
gold and bonds Of Wall street, the slsOddy
sristocracy Of the North and the great
monied interests of the nation are in league
with Radicalism, because they can Use 1t
since votes, like other commodities, are up
on a financial basis, and hence money
has become one of The most potent
Of all agents in our Presidential
elections. Next to the monied power the
negro vote, through the use Of money, con-
tributed to the re election Of Grant more
than any other one cause, and without
which be could not have been elected. Mr..
Greeley received q majority Of the white
votes, and would have carried every South
ern State but for the negro vote, which
was every where cast solidly for Grant. The
1000 negro votes Of Indiana gave that State
to Grant, the negro vote OF Ohio gave that
State to Grant, and in the October election
In PENNSYLVANIA the resident and imported
negro vote carried that State for the Radi-
Gals. 1t will thus be seen that the negr~
holds the balance OF power and when cast
solidly for any candidate, can turn the scale
In his favor. Another, and not the least
potential cause sf Mr.. Greeley's defeat, wss
the ignorance and gullibility of the masses
North and South as were evinced By the
late electors, When they were made tc
believe that Mr.. Greeley, the father of the
Republican party, the life long friend OF the
negro race and devotedly attached TO the
Union, was in league with Southern rebels
TO dissolve the Union and remand the ne
groes into slavery. Although our Northern
neighbors boast of their general education
and of their higher civilization, their masses
whod do the voting are as incapable OF self
government as the freedmen Of the South.
A Morton or q Butler only has to cry
strebel'' or "Ku Klux" them against every
thing that looks TO the ameliorstiOn Of tht
South. 1t Is useless to argue the corrup
ton or iDcompetency Of an Executive to
such people when they can be controlled by
such shallow pTetexts, and SO easily become
the dupes of demsgogues. Admitting th'
truth of the foregoing, and the patriotism
of the State stands appalled, at the pros
pect, and can only wait aud hope for som'
popular revolution in public sentiment tha
will sweep GrSntism from power.

POLITICAL.
From the Columbia Herald.

fLOm Iuc OOAuuDlh
The Democratic newspapers everywhere
have shown a remarkable lack Of courage
since the election. One would imagine
that they had all fought for Grant during
the late campaigc, so complimentary are
they TO him. It is impossible to imagine
that they ever called him ''tyrant." q
"drunken sot, "the national leafer," "mili-
tary despot," and other campaign compli-
ments. They bow predict that he viii
give us a good administration, and
do Justice to the South. They may
think all this subservieacy viii soft.
en- his heart, but they reckon with
out their host. Grant, in our
opinion, will consider his reelection
an endorsement Of his first administration,
and instead Of giving us a better one, it
will exceed the former In all that made 1t
Objectionable to lovers OF constitutional
liberty. Concession to syraGts has always
had snis result, and We must i!Sdge tne
future by the past. Grant is naturally
self h, INDECENT man, and all his training
has been of the military kind, and the
mere fact that he has ignored all the wise
men Of his party, aud chosen Cor his counsel
lors such political DULLES as Morton Cam
eron and Conkliig, is evidence enough to
convince an uDpr5judiced mind that he viii
govern the South, not in bhe interest Of
constitutional liberty, but 20 suit the in1arn-
ed passions Of Northern fanatics. Some Of
our Democratic exchanges are trying to
bury the party under whose banners they
were recently beaten. We have NO partic-
ular affection for the name DemocTsGae, and
think Liberal would give more satisfsc-
ton 10 Our allied forces; bnt we see no rea-
son for lie dependency shown BY our peo-
ple. There were enough men in the
United States opposed 10 Grant TO defeat
him, if they had voted. Even of The white
votes palled he has . minority. Greeley
received large majority of the intelligent
votes cast in the late elec lion. There is nc
cause for dependency, because our defeat
has only shown US that all we lack to Sc
cure victory is organization and courage.

Boston Boot apd shoe Trade.

huston BOOT anu SnO0 1fao0s
The Shoe and Leather Record contains
the following:
"Under existing circumstances it is SIM
ply impossible to give any extended report
OF what is doing in the line Of boots and
shoes. Most of the great shoe firms have
already found temporary places of business,
but everything is yet in such chaotic state
that the most that could be said is that bus
mess, where not entirely suspended, is in
such state of transition as to render the
market reports useless. At the same time
it is exceedingly difficult to forecast the real
future of the trade. The mere destruction
of boots and shoes by the confagration is
OF little moment, as the power of produc-
ton is so immense that any demand that
can possibly arise can be promptly supplied
by our manufacturers. But as prices OF
upper stock especially must be considerably
enhanced, prices of boots and shoes must
doubtless be proportionably advanced
Meanwhile they are merely nominal, and
we make no change in quotations"
At meeting Of wax and kip leather
manufacturers yesterday, it was unani-
mously resolved that 12aa per cent. be con-
sidered fair advance in finished leather.
1t was also resolved that, as rule, all sales
of upper leather be made on basis of fouI
months credit.
