The "Fesst of Weeks will take place
to-day. Originally festival of thanks
giving for the abundance of harvest,
which lasted seven weeks and closed at
this time. and, therefore, also called
"the fret of 6rstlings," it has lost it's
original Biblical character, but is now en-
hanced by being stamped as the memo.
rial day of the revelation on SINAI.
This higher character makes it one of
unusual Significance aud solemnity; it
becomes the birthday of Israels
spiritual mission, and. as such, has been
selected as the day most fitted for the
formal introduction of Jewish youth, who
piave attained that age at which they
may become consistent members of tho
religious community, agents responsible
for their acts to their God, their fellow.
beings and their conscience.
The CoNvENT1oN.-Tho Democratic
Convention here, like their brethren oil
over the country, have decided to go for
Grant. They will go for him with o
vengeance. The action of the South
Carolina delegates is owing to landable
desire to free this country from Rudical
rule-a feeling inspired by viewing the
beautiful paintings and scenes OF the
United States panorama, nov exhibiting

ton that we had assembled in q day of
amnesty, and in the enjoyment of the
sacred privilege of the hubsas corpus.
He would add to the ChairEan's remark
that these boons were the legitimate
fruits OF the Cincinnati movement.
Without it, they would not have been
conceded; for amnesty had been with.
held until the popular response to the
Cincinnati platform extorted it from q
reluctant Senate; and the suspension of
the hdbeas corpus was pressed inexora-
bly,, and to the last, by the Administra-
ton majority in the Senate, and was
only defeated by the more humorous
branch of the national legislature, which
IL more responsive to the impulses and
biddings OF the popular will. If these
be the first fruits, what may we not ex-
poet from the fuller and more complete
development OF the Cincinnati move
ment? The declaration of principles at
Cincinnati seems to meet the demands
OF the times. and the candidates are le-
garded as fitting exponents and repre-
sentatives Of the cause.
The question that most nearly con-
Germs us now is, what shall we, as por-
ton of the great Democratic party Of

The Convention Of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers, which was in session at St.
Louis last week, passed two resolutions Of con-
siderable Importance. The first provides for
the abolition Of railroad traffic and travel On
Sundays, and Committee WAS appointed to
confer with the railroad officials throughout the
country and obtain the desired result. The
question is one which has two sides to it, and
admits OF free and open discussion. It is very
questionable whether the advantages which may
accrue to the engineers will not be more
than offset by the disadvantages
which must inevitably happen to travellers,
and the mail service. With regard to the second
resolution, however, which provides that any
engineer, addicted to the use OF Intoxicating
liquors shall be expelled from the Brotherhood,
there can be no question as to it's excellence and
its necessity, and it is peculiarly gratifying that
the proposition has originated with the engi-
neers themselves. They are deserving ofspecial
commendation for having voluntarily taken such
an excellent stand, and in view Of this fact tho
railroad companies should give to the Brother
hood their cordial sympathy and SUPP ort.

President Theirs action in ejecting Prince
Napoleon from France is to be made the subject
Of legal proceedings. The Prince who departed
under protest, and in Difference to the superior
force OF the Government, intends, it is an
nounced, to prosecute all the officials who we're
concerned in the outrage, and to obtain the sup
port Of the Courts in his determination to recover
his rights as French citizen. An attempt will
be made during the next session Of the Assem-
bly, to procure the impeachment Of the Minis
teria1 officers who shared with Napoleon the re-
sponsibility for the Prussian war. This may be
serious business for Olivier and his associates;
for the French Legislature is not confined, as is
ours, in cases OF impeachment, to political
jurisdiction, but has power over the lives and
property Of those impeached.

that the weight Of silver dollar be fixed Ell
339 $40 graius.

England will spend, this year, for food, one
hundred millions Of dollars (gold yalue) more
than usual. She has been dependent for nearly
two centuries upon foreign nations for a large
proportion OF her supplies. Wars and block
adeB hare boon powcrless to arrest the 1ow Of
this mighty stream. Even the gigantic attempt
OF Napoleon, with the compulsory cid Of nearly
every other European nation, to crush out all
intercourse with Great Britain, reduced her im-
ports only few per cent, and. during those pro-
longed hostilities, English hunger was appoased
by coin from the fields OF france, her
doadllest foe. In good harvest years,
foreign nations supply England with
one-ffth of the breadstu1fs she consumes. This
year she will purchase abroad two-1ifths- double
the ordinary importations. In tho wheat crop,
there Is deficiency Of at least one-quarter in
quantity, and one-eighth in quality. From
thirty to eighty per cent Of the potato yield is
unfit for human food, and fears of the rindor-
pest have compelled the Government to restrict
the importation Of cattle. To some extent these
misfortunes Of England will be our gain. More
Of our surplus food will be exported to that
country than usual. But. as We must compete
III the markets Of Liverpool with the
farm products Of Russia, France, Spain,
and Italy, in all Of which countries there have
been abundant harvests, our farmers cannot ex-
pect so great 3 measure of relief as come have
anticipated.

1t the closing session Of the National Board
Of Trade, Saturday, Chicago was chosen as o
permanent place for the meetings Of the Board.
ALI the remaining deliberations related to rec
concentrations for Congressional action, with
the single exception of the resolution, which
Was passed, asking States which maintain
usury laws to agree upon standard rate Of
interest. The propositions urging the National
adoption Of the Hare system Of voting,
the refunding OF the cotton tax, the repeal
Of the duty on railroad iron, and the
improvement of the telegraph service were
either postponed or tabled. A further reduc-
tion OF the duties Oh imports VAS asked. An
animated debate arose upon the resolution that
the Government .should edopt policy Of CON
tracting the currency, with e view to the resump-
ton OF specie Payments. The resolution vas
finally passed, in an amended form, requesting
Congress to reYiee the National Bank system,
30 that specie payments might be resumed
through that channel. Resolutions were adopted
asking Congress to construct 8 free ahip-canal
connecting the Mississippi and tho Gulf of
Mexico, and to order eqryey for a ship-canal
through Flo1ids, Finally, it was recommended

General Ryan, Of Cuban fame, who does not
seem to feel at all the pressure OF his bonds to
keep the peace, amounting to over quarter Of a
million Of dollars, has been busy latelyin getting
up another fibustering expedition, and has
been soliciting subscriptions for that purpose,
claiming that he vas authorized to do 30 by the
Cuban representatives in New York. One Of
these gentlemen, Senior Jose Mayorga, now pro-
nounces this statement false. The danger
that there might be another Hou-
ard case resulting from the arbitrary arrest Of a
AGr. Henderson, an American citizen, in Havana,
is obviated by his prompt release BY order Of the
Captain General.

For several years past, it has been the fashion
of Boston to be very thankful that she was not
as other cities are, and to plume herself upon
the virtue and good order which reigned within
her limits. Lately, however, her criminal record
is assuming portentious dimensions, and bids
fair soon to exceed that Of any other city in the
country. A few days eince, clerk was knocked
down and robbed of $1,000, in q crowded rail-
road depot, in broad daylight. The horrible
murders in BuHsy's Woods, the recent assas-
sination Of Mr. Lane, the numerous Post
Office and bank robberies, fo1geries, thefts,
and defalcations OF every description, show
that Boston is rapidly getting ahead
OF other cities in these particulars. The fact
that crime increases SO rapidly in city which
enjoys greater educational and religious and
temperance facilities than any other in the coun-
try, is q hard nut to crack.

stores did heavy business in whiskey and bran
dy prescriptions, and there was 3 remarkable
exodus of thirsty souls from the precincts Of the
city to the saloons beyond the municipal limits.
There WAS grim feeling among the Germans,
who naturally look upon the movement, so far
as themselves are concerned, as an attempt to
enforce Sunday observance, and not ns a
means ofpreventing intoxcation and crime. The
Stats Zeitung cndeavors to throw the odium Of
the business on the supporters Of Greeley, al-
leging that h{r. Tu1ey and Mr. Stiles, two law
the grievance, and that they are both Greeley
men. The Zeitung, in conclusion, urges the Po-
lice Captains and patro1men to disobey superin-
tendent Weshburn's order.

add dime to the ability of the banks to lend
money, for whatever increase Of deposits may be
caused by it will speedily bo answered by an in
crease in the prices of everything which the depos
its represent. 10 add 10 per cent to the currency
and 10 per cent to prices can bring no relief to
the community, although it will give to specula-
tors and to the Immediate holders Of the neces-
saries Of life temporary advantage over pur-
clasers and consumers. It is seid that this
will raise the prices Of grain, and give tho
farmers an advantage. So it would, if the
farmers we're sellers merely, and not buyers as
well. But, since commodities are exchanged
for each other, and money is used only to settle
the trivial balances between East and West. it
follows that tho increase Of prices will take
place at both ends of tho line at the sarae time,
and the outcome will be the same as though
there had been no increase.
If deposits arc less now than they we're six
months ago, it signifies that trade is less active.
There is less property in circulation, and, there
fore, fewer checks, drafts, ETC., representing it,
to swell the 1oauable funds Of the banks. There
is reason to believe that the bottom has been
touched, for the deposits at the banks, both
here and in New York, are no longer running
down-on the contrary, are increasing some-
what. Is it not better to leave
trade to adjust itself than to
pour upon the country new flood Of irredeem-
able paper, which must necessarily postpone our
return to sound currency, and thereby injure
our credit abroad to an incalcu1ablo extent?
European capitalists understand what is meant
by more greenbacks. Once let them see that we
have started on q fresh era Of irredeemable cur
purses against us and in the end We shall find
that We have cut of eource OF real money in
order to fill our bellies With false one.

Of the Pennsylvania election, and are now at

Venice and Amsterdam, mindful OF the palmy
days OF their commerce, before Vasco de CANA
turned the grent stream Of East Indian traffic
around the Cape of Good Hope, have been maxi
ing great e1artions to regain their former stand
ing. Venice, however, has been Eluggarl too
long. The opening Of the suoz Canal galvan-
1zed her into momentary activity, but the i'm
pulse seems to have spont its force. Amstar-
dam, on the other hand, is busy completing q
large canal, which will greatly reduce the pres-
ent passage Of twenty miles be-
tween herself and the North Sea.
Work WAS begun on it eight years ago; the
gigantic locks at either end are now finished;
and it will be opened in 1874. It is hoped that
the foreign commerce Of the city, whic, has.
been swiftly slipping away to towns moro easy Ct
approach, can thus be fully reganed.
