rhe WORK of che Radlcals.

Philadelphia is and for many long
wears has been under the kind care
and keeping of the Radicals, andn no
where i'm the broad land have the peo-
pie been subjected to nore bold and
outrageous system of robbery. The
air was filled with howlhhgs of the
Radicals from one end of the country
to the other over the plunderings OF
the Tammany Rings in, New York,
but not. n murmur escal ed his patri-
otic lips over the ontra2 eous robber-
les of their partisan pets in the qua
keP city. The Philadelphia Ag says:
."Isess than Il iteep years ago the debt
of this city was abuu, Sl9,0O0.000, the
rate of assessed valuation one-third
the selling price o. nroperiy, and the
rate of taxation Sl,50 on the SlO0.-
Now the debt Is over $50, 100000, pro-
perty il assessed at its full market
value, and the rate of taxation S2,0S
on the 500. Under the first taxaticn
scheme property worth $60,0OO
would he assessed at $20.O00, 81. 80
on the $l00 would make the tax bill
against that property $500 per year.
Now the Same pl operty is assessed at
$60.Oo00, and the rate is S2,0Sl per
500, This charges the identical pro-
perty Sl,24S per year. Such an .in-
crease of taxation in so shostta time
has no parallel" efofp 81 io

Tile trade movement was retarded to-day by the
great connagratlon In Boston, which devastated
almost the entire business portion of the city.
Though the commercial ties between Boston and
this city were scarcely so close as those between
Chicago and New York, yet the commercial cen.
tres OF the country have come to be 80 closely
cemented by mercantile and monetary In.
terests that no great disaster OF this
character can befal one without materially af-
fecting all. Hence business here was very greatly
affected to-day by the great fire In our neighbor-
ing city, and commercial values were in many
instances considerably lower, owing however, more
to an apprehension Of general interruption to busl
ness enterprises and a general depression Of mer-
chandse as natural consequence Of the fire than
to any visible immediate eject. good deal Of
uneasiness obtained In both financial and CON-
mercial circles and great anxiety was everywhere
manifested to ascertain the worst. Business was
of only secondary Importance and but little was
done. Cotton was easier with but moderate
movement At the Produce Exchange hour con-
tinued dull; wheat and corn were decidedly dull
and lower, though there was some inquiry for ex-
port-generally the basis Of too great reduction in
prices to admit of business The provisions market
dull, and both pork and lard lower and difficult Of
sale. Frcighs without decided change full prices
being quite generally insisted Groceries were but
moderately dealt in, yet whole prices were pretty
well sustained. Petroleum continued quiet, but no
weakness was manifest. Naval stores were unusually
quiet but no essential change took place In values whis
key was purchased moderately at higher prices.

In the miscellaneous stocks Boston, Hartford and
Eric went on to so, but rallied to 7. Hannibal and
st. Joseph sold at 29A. Erie was weak throughout,
In sympathy with the decline In London. The
total loss Of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad
by the Boston Are is only $4,000 With the excep-
tion OF two dump cars no rolling stock was injured
The burned depot was leased, not owned, by the
company.
THE SUSPENSIONS.
The sudden decline in stocks involved the sus-
pension OF nine brokerage houses; but the losses,
except In two or three cases, are not OF impor-
tance. The street was deeply panied to learn OF
the suspension OF Mr.. 8. v. White, an old and
h0nored member OF the Stock Exchange, whose
embarrassment will, 1t is expected, prove only
temporary. The following were the firms men,
