The stringency Of the Money Market,

The New York Times, in its financial article,
remarks that s'the old year is winding up with
n less favorable bank report than. on the close
of the previous year, and a much less encour-
aging money market. The latter may mend az
fsT tRe new year sets in. There is no good rea-
son in the general trade Of the country, and its
large and in most departments profitable results,
WIN The market should coatinue close. The
railroad traffic of the year weuld also seem to be
sstistactory. Certainly in its gross returns it
has never been so large But either the necess-
tiles OF ambition Of the old lines have combined
with the demands Of the new undertakings %
Orerdo this great interest for the time being, II
not really to distress the money market Tor 9TH
ar borrowers. We throw out this suggestion in
advance of the new year dividends, in order that
too much reliance may not be placed in caicrA
fling npon early relief from the division OF prof
fits BY concerns that have recently borrowed
twice or three times the money they propose

THE LOUISIANA BUSINESS.

1t suits the Demooratic, and that portion Of
the so-called /" Independent press whose indie
pendence is shown iby seeking opportunity to
ciiticise and carp at the acts Of Republicans, to
pretend that there has been some grave owe :
stepping OF duty, in Louisiana, by the President.
Such expressions are totr'ly in d'sregard of the
facts. The President has proceeded upon a
sound Judgment, based on complete knowledge
OF the situation OF affairs in that State, and the
statement in regard to it, made by Attorney Gen.
eral Williams, some weeks ago, covers the whole
ground.
The Administration, indeed, has simply done
the duty required of it. The order Of Judge
Durell's Cor-t was issued in regular manner,
Hith respect to matters over which the Court
had legal cognizanee namely, the counting of
the votes cast at the November election. Itwas
proposed by Warmoth, (who nobody denies, is
man fully capable Of such crime, since be has
committed soores'equally as bad,) to disfrancb:st
enough coloredIvoters, throughout the State,
to elect q Legislature which world make him U.
8. Senator to count in his associate as Cover
nor to put his friends in Congress; and tc
throw the electoral vote of the State against
Grant aud Wilson. All these outrages were
prevented by Judge Du-ells injunction, and the
canvass showed Senator Kellogg to be elected
Governor, with result correspondingly unsatis
factory to Warmoth, in regard. to the other Off
GERS. Hence their outcry, and upon this, th'
howl from the Democratic papers and their allies
Furthermore, suppose Judge Durell has deci-
ded wrongly, what Of it The error must be cor
reeted by the Courts above him. Suppose b,
has assumed authority not belonging to him
what then 2 He is liable to impeachment ant
removal from office, by Congress. But the or
ders of his Court until revised by higher bench
demand respect, and the President is bound t.
see them enforced. This the President did dc
and the fullest inquiry will simply show how OK
actly he has preserved the line Of his duty, a
written in the Constitution and the laws.

neither earnestness nor energy was permitted
to ruffie his gentle and elegant languor, fully
one half of the people failed to catch the

being fully as perfect modern gentleman as
they were the reverse, but we apprehend a
little OF their rough vigor in the delivery
would have improved the spirit of the occa-
sion. The only criticism that suggests itself
on this performance is the evidence it affords
os the fact that the ability to write well does
not carry with it the ability to speak well.
IL is one thing to write ''The Luck of Roar
ing Camp" and another and entirely differ
ent thing to please a large audience for two
hours at stretch with but poor gifts of man
ner and voice. The ambition to lecture
seems to De epidemic among all the quill
drivers in England and America at present
and while it is harmless one in Itself, it be-
comes monstrous bore when it results ia our
falling out of conceit with many charming
writers who entranced us in the closet and
disgusted us from the forum, and who come
before us to break the idols they them
selves had made. 1t is sort of literary
sponging; in fact, species of discounting on
reputation worthily acquired that is at once
extravagant and absurd, to say nothing of
the effeminate vanity and presumption it in
wolves. Why in the name of Heaven cannot
Bret Harte and others we could name, who
have penetration enough to be good writers
and observers, see enough of the humbug of
the business themselves, without forcing 9TH
ers to tell them of it? No matter how polite
an audience may be, it is always easy t. see
when it is bored; but the oddly in this case
is, that men naturally acute become so blind
ed by personal considerations that they either
cannot or will not see a truth evident to 9th
ers. We mean no discourtesy to anyone but
to write the truth in all soberness, and we
only mention Bret Harte as an Illustration of
class that is multiplying too rapidly, viz:
men who, having proved successful as writers,
insist upon publishing themselves as failures
as lecturers. For the delicate humor aud
graceful fancy of Bret Harte we feel the most
lively admiration, and it is because we do,
that we object to his appearing in another
role for which he does not posses a single
physical qualification, except his neat and
gentlemanlike appearance when set in dia-
monds and black cloth.

Railroads. TeIegraphs, and Rain.

While it has been stated generally that the
railroads built across the continent have in a
manner so changed the climate that rains
are common along these lines. where there
have never, within the white mans expert
ence, been rains before, the remarkable and
copious rain which occurred in July. in
Lima, Peru, seems to afford the best illus
tration that we have had that there is some
intimate connection or relation between tel
egraphs, railroads and the rainfall. An
American, Henry Meiggs. has within the last
ten or fifteen years established a system of
railroads and telegraphs in Peru, and con-
nected the Andes with the ports on the Pa
cific Ocean; and to these changes and inn
proVements are charged and credited the
changes in the climate. But then the build
ing OF railroads necessitates establishing man
afactories of more kinds than one, and man
ufactories. mean numerous tall chimneys,
sending their columns of smoke and heated
air into the atmosphere above the city; so it
is possible that the rainfall which is so new
in Lima experience may be credited quite as
much to its chimneys as to railroad and tele-
graph lines. L am personal witness to two
local rains falling in a very dry time, within
twenty-four hours after considerable fire in
city at hand. 1t should be noted here that
these occurred at a time Of almost perfect
calm, and that the smoke ascended and hung
for some time like canopy over the city. I
suppose that had there been a wind b owing
strongly at the time, the rains would not
have come.
IL may be suggested that to the rains which
have fallen West along the new telegraph and
railroad lines, within the last three or four
years, We partly owe the continued drouths
which have been common from the Missis-
sippi river to the Alleghanies; because, while
the sources for the supply of rain clouds-the
ocean and the lakes-haye not been increased
in area, the area of condensation has been, to
vast extent. If more rain in the noun
tains and the deserts between the Mississippi
and the West, means less rain east of that
river, we have an explanation for the past
and difficult problem for the future.-Al-
