TILE STORM.

We need not, as a matter of intelligence, say
ANYTHING here of the great snow storm which
whitened all the hours of yesterday. 1t is
enough to remark that it was of the character
which we have all consented to call "old
" fashioned and full details of its peculiaIl-
ties, of the inconvenience and botheration
which it has already caused and is likely to
cause, will be found elsewhere. Not long ago
we ventured upon brief statement OF the
pleasures of Winter, and it would now complete
the discussion if we should speak of the pains
Snow, undoubtedly, has its uses. 1t is said to
exert an excellent effect upon the wheat crop,
and to furnish the soil with ammonia, which
it might otherwise want. This should be
consolation as we eat our buttered rolls at
breakfast, and, glancing through the frosted
windows, wonder how we are to get to our places
of business, or whether it would not be best
to stay quietly at home, letting the notes take
themselves up OF go to protest, while the
makers for once played pleasantly all day
long with the dearer pledges. But though we
refused to wallOw through the blockafed
streets, or to travel on the damp and delaying
cars we cannot expect TO escape all the disa-
greeables of such "spell of weather" For
snow, feathery light as it is in its PARTICLES Is
heavy sort Of tyrant in the aggregate. he
has knack of drifting in at bedroom win
dows, and of making us wonder if the
chambermaid did not omit one of the usual
blankets. He piles himself up in the thorough
fares so that walking becomes tedious
labor if it does not become impossible.
He prevents appointments, vetoes visits, au-
daciousy interferes with the most scientific
oil nd fba-
ater-g going, delays the milkman and the
butcher, and generally puts at skies and
sevens all our private and all our public ar
engagements. He is, in spite of the fine things
which the verse-makers have conspired TO
say about him, an unpleasant character. He
causes colds and coughs, cOnsumptions and
rheumatisms and diphtheria. The lives of
some persons of peculiarly nervous tenn
permanent he renders burden. He delays
the cattle-trains and puts up the price OF
beef he quickens the consumption of coal
and adds to the dollars per tun. He remorse-
lessly diminishes the dividends of the railway
companies. He drives to the shore the drift
ing ships upon whose decks the half-crazed
voyagers scream in vain for suocor. He adds
O browning terror to the lives Of those whose
home is the street. though may be he give,
them last garment warmer than the ole

the equai-minded fretful and the amiabls

LINES OF FAIR COMFORT AND EN-
CnTR4GEMENTD

COURAuEMENI.
We should do violence to a natural sentiment
Of gratitude if we failed frankly and cordially
to acknowledge, in the most public manner,
the expressions of sympathy and encouragement
which recent occurrences in our establishment
have brought to us from all quarters. Some OF
these proceeding from private sources, we ven
ture to print this morning. Mainly they are
sent 70 us from old friends of The TRIBUNE,
who have, by the associations OF years, become
attached to this journal; who have learned 10
confde in its judgment, or, whlle dHerlhg
from it upon some points. at least TO respect
its honesty Our correspondents write TO lis
IA if they felt that THE TRIBUNE had Deen
rescued from those base uses to which earthiy
things once hOnOred and honorable, IN tins
world of chances and changes, sometimes have
come at last. Our friends had been encoW-
aged by their favOrite newspaper to think
INDEPENDENTLY, and they could not bear that
il should become the slave of clques and the
tbrall of factions. They had learned to
con6de in its intelligence, and they shrank
FROM seeing 1t she mere herald OF eau
cuses and the mOuth-piece of cabinets. lhey
had become accustomed to its Tree, sincere
and earnest discussion of questions ahectihg
the happiness and progress OF society," ana
thew did not care to think of it as the attorney
of abuses, the sophisticatOr Of great moral
problems, the tool of private interests, anu
triGer and tine-server.
The letters to which we have alluded are
infinitely the more encouraging to us, because
they do not by any means come exclusively
from those wh0 in the late Presidential can
vass agreed with us in the course which we
thought it wisest and best to pursue The
good opinion of one who believes us to have
been honest while he still thinks us to have
been wrong, is the best worth having. 1t has
been also our good fortune to receive many
expressions of confidence from the newspaper
press and even from great number oil Jour-
nails which are scrupulous partisan supporters
of the present Administration. We SUI
ficiently appreciate, we trust, the courtesy
of our brethren, which is all the more
valuable because they know something,
through experience of the difficulties OF
iudioiously and honostly conducting a nerre
paper; and because these are the very
men, with many OF whom we have had the
sharpest differences in the past, and are quite
likely TO have them in the future. A prospect
of the most unlimited pecuniary success could
not be so grateful to us as the assurance
which these letters and these newspapers have
afforded, OF friendly support and cooperation,
end of a tolerant end high-minded public judg-
mUnt.

HASTR MAKES WASTE.

Secretary Boutwell,, while before the Ways
and Means Committee few days ago, urged
the acceptance of a proposition from jay
Cooke g. Co. to take three hundred millions
more of the new FIVE per cent bonds at two
per cent below par in exchange for like
amount of the outstanding fve-twenty six per
cents at par. Divested of complications and
technicalities arising from a disingenuous in
terpretation of the law, these are the terms
mon which the $1S5,OO0c0O of five per cents
were sold to the Syndicate in 1871. and 1t Is
upon precisely the same terms that Jay Cooke
offers to take $500, 100000 more. Perhaps this
is the best trade the United States can make,
but il seems to as there are some reasons why
the contamination of the bargain should be
nostnoned until il is certain that no better
terms can be had.
The money markets of Europe are just now
In a very unsettled state. and have been lor
several months. Our securities, IN company
with most others. have been depressed, ana
the negotiation Of loans in Europe in aid OF
American enterprises has, for the present,
almost entirely ceased. After enormous
sbinments of specie during this and the pre-
cedine wear bills Of exchange on London are
still at O premium sufficiently high TO pay iof
sending out gold, and this at the season when
the exports of cotton are at the MAXIMUM
and the price of that staple, fortunately fo'
us. extraordinarily high. The peculiar situa-
ton of the European money markets is OWING
TO the change of the standard coin by the
German Government from silver to gold
which is attended by q dangerous absorb
ton of the latter metal for reconage
and its consequent withdrawal from
circulation, or from the reserves Of the Bank

The statement that our securities have BE-
depressed by the course of the German Gov
eminent is perhaps not so correct as to say
that they have been prevented from rising, as
they undoubtedly would have done had the
Emperor William not joined hands for time
with Mr. Boutwell, in the operation of locking
up gold.
And this leads us to notice the extraordinary
statements of Mr.. Boutwell,, that "0ur credit
"is to-day better than the credit of any other
Government better than that Of England :"
and that " four per cent American bonds would
abe worth more than the four per cents OF
&C. any European country Such assertions as
these and others which accompany them are
certainly not calculated to remove the impress
sion abroad that our finances are not admins
tered as intelligently as they might be. From
The London Times of the 18th inst. we learn
that the three and half per cent bonds
of the Metropolitan Uondon) Board of Works
were sold on the preceding day at 96i the
five per cent bonds of Canada were sold at
1881 the five per cents of New-Zealand at 1924 !;
the five per cents of Sweden at 103, and the
four per cent mortgage bonds OF the
North Western Railway at 1921. The new
five per cents OF the United States were
quoted at price equal to 96. exclusive OF
accrued interest. These figures, while showing
the incorrectness of Mr. Boutwelrs Impressions
will also serve as an indication of the price at
which our five per cents ought to sell. Our
credit ought to be as good in England as that
of Canada, New-Zealand Sweden, and the
North Western Railway, and we think 1t
reasonable TO expect that it soon will be, after
the temporary difficulties in the money mar
kets above described have passed away. In
July, 1871, Jay Cooke & Co. negotiated the
new fives in London at par; has there been
no real Improvement in our credit since then
Is none to be anticipated Is the price o. our
bonds in these times of strngency and distrust
TO be taken as the measure of their value to
the next generationY We hope not. We rust
that Congress will refuse to bind the country
by any new Syndicate compact until the imam
cial world is restored to a condition of ease
and confidence.

We suspect, constituting the law strictly, that
every newspaper in New York contains every
morning one or more statements which judged
technically are libels. They are not prosecuted
as such partly because common-sen is not
altogether an extinct quality, and partly because
the persons so spoken of never see what is
said of them. A man of good solid reputation
rarely thinks it necessary to vindicate it by an
expensive and troublesome law suit. We hold
