1t is stated that President Grant will
start on q tour through the Southern
States, at an early day, accompanied by
Cabinet officers, Senators, and other dis
tinguished persons. His first stopping
place will be Richmond, Va. Places
along the line Of his proposed route are
preparing to give him an enthusiastic re-
ception.
Mr.. Lucius Barbour, sixty-seven years
old, a wealthy retired merchant; Mr.. II.
E. Porter, seventy-two years old, treas
urer of the Mechanics Savings Bank,
and Rev. Ezekiel Williams, seventy-two
years old, died in Hartford, Conn, Tues
day. They were all three well known
citizens, were old members Of the same
church, and all died within the same
hour,
Among the tricks of the Credit Mobi-
her organization WIS a motion in the
Philadelphia Court Of Common Pleas
to declare it dissolved on the ground
that it had done no business since July,
1868. The court however, stated thatthe
government had business with ii n

istence to avoid the payment of its just

1t is now charged that the Credit MO-
bilier did not con6ne its corrupt.ng ope-
rations 10 a few Congressman. 1t is
stated that several influential Journals Of
the country were subsisted and their in
iuepce secured by corrupt considera-
lions. In the present excited state Of
the public mind it is possible to venti-
lste almost any absurd fancy and give
it the appearance Of truth. II Is to be
hoped that some investigating committee
will get hold of the truth in this case and
show up the guilty ones.
The indications of a eeal famine in
England are becoming daily more alar-
ming. Tie cost of coal production has
risen 100 per cent within a year. This
dificulty has been felt by railroads,
manufactures and in private life. This
life blood Of British industry and com
merce is becoming impoverished. That
proud supremacy which once lorded 1t
over every civilized market in the world
=. losing its tone and beginning TO as
sumo an unwonted humanity. The day
of English supremacy is fast passing
sway. England has but 5000 square
miles vet untouched.
1t is not at all unlikely that John Bulls
modification over the late Alabama
treaty and the decision of the German
Emperor awarding Us the island ofSan
Juan will produce a change in the min
listers. In spite of the late enormous
growth of material interests, industrial
and commercial, the combative tenden-
cies of the popular mind have unmis'
takeably shown themselves. The sur
plus valor which might have been exer
cised upon the Yankees now promises
TO end vent upon the Russians in Asia.
Something must be done to meet the
whims OF Johnny's tsurine humor or

The reduction Of our permanent mill
tary force at the South is significant
evidence Of the rapid growth Of loyal
sentiment in that distracted region. The
projected visit OF the President and
members of the Cabinet will be Of very
great benefit to the national cause, and
will tend very greatly TO ameliorate the
sectional bitterness which still survives
the great civil war. It seems SO strange
he. a section ofour Union enjoying such
wonderful material resources should
then held in entire uselessness by
he bad spirit Of an uneducsted people.
The day Of Southern prosperity, howev-
II, is dawning.
