1t seems to be understood that the at
torneys Of the city and Of the con-
tractors Brown q Co., have been unable
to agree upon a basis of settlement,
consequently the war will go on through
the courts. The respective attorneys
discuss the matter very pleasantly, and
in the most professional manner, their
being no pistols or bowie-knives drawn,
as one would judge by reading the sem
sational articles in the morning journals.
Should the Supreme Court of the United
States grant the injunction asked for by
the city until the entire matter has been
passed upon by the court, then the little
warfare on city property will cease, and
the case of Brown 4 Co. vs.. the city
will progress in the usual manner. Both
parties are cheerful and sanguine of
success.

There is a slight improvement in the de-
mand for money to-day. but 1t is from outside
parties and for speculative purposes. One
bank had applications for nearly 100000 for
from sixty to ninety days, and loaned over
half the amount en- approved security or col
laterals. Rates Of discount remain firm at 10
to II per cent.
Exchange is in limited supply. Very few

ON Eastern cities, and Ss91zc discount on New

the former and par for the latter.
Gold is bought at ITO for shipment. the

There is fair demand for railway securities,

Prussia and Russia. Some well-informed
persons even went so far as to foretell a
war between the two Powers at an earIi-
Ell or later date. We know that too
much Importance must not be attached
to declarations which, after all, may be
nothing more than atter-dinner talk, which
often has no more durability than the foam
in a glass of sparkling wine. Here, how
ever, the intention is sufficiently marked,
and we do not think that this is a case for
appealing from Philip drunk to Philip
sober. The services rendered by Russia
to Prussia during the late war, are suth-
GENTLY known to induce people to believe
IN the sincerity and duration of the alliance
between the two Governments, at least as
long as the alliance depends upon the per-
sonal inclinations Of the present Car.

THE GROWING OF THE EDIFICE.
(JournaL deS Debats-Paris, Dec. 2

Italy has at last crowned her ediice
and as her King, in his recent speech, said
with legitimate pride, she has succeeded,
after centuries of separation, in uniting all
the fragments of her people in the city
which represents their immortal history.
The cause of this people must have been
just, as the God Of battles has always bIes-
sed her banners, dragged through the dust
though they were, more than if they had
been covered with l~aurels. 1t is by wound
after wound, and misfortune after misfor-
tune, that Italy, like Anteus, recovering
strength each time she touched the ground,
has attained the contamination of her des-
tiny. This strange good fortune must re-
mind the Romans of the history of their
ancestors at the time when Pyrrhus, after
each defeat which he inflicted upon them,
said, "One more such victory, and | am
lost" When Charles Albert, after Novara,
went away to die Of despair in a distant cor
ner Of Europe, could he, in bis last so jitary
hour, have th%oughtthat twenty-five yearsaf
forwards his son would open the Parliament
Of the united Italy Ever conquered,
crushed, and struck by the arm Of her he
reditary foes or by the inconsiderate hands
of her friends, Italy repeated the word of
Calico, and continued to grayitate around
the star Of unity. AS for US, who have al
ways maintained, and will still maintain,
that the reconstitution of Italy correspond.
ed not only with the principles Of justice
and morality, but also with the true inter
ests Of France, it is without jealousy, and,
on the contrary, with Joy, that we hail the
installation of the Italian Parliament in
the capital of ItO'y.
A capital is not to be improvised !; and
this fact ought to be considered by those
who wish to strike Paris with a senseless
ostracism[ which is full of threats and dan
gers for the maintenance of French unity.
