AHUMuTATINc CONFESSION.

The Washington correspondence the
Cincinnati Times, a Republican journal,
telegraphs. Nov. Is, as follows:
1.-The President is represented as say
ing that we are in no condition to fight
now, and that on the sea the Spaniards
would have every advantage, and be
more than match for our small naval
feet"
That is humiliating confession for
the Chief Magistrate Of a great nation
TO make. There never has been time
during his administration that Radical
ism and carpet-baggers could not be
forced upon the people of the South at
the point of the bayonet. Citizens of
number of the Southern States who
have been charged with being Ku-Klux,
have been hunted down as so
many wild beasts, with a prompt
ness and energy which showed
that it was a work of love with ali con-
cerned. There has been no reported
1SbNlSSh OCulOuSIIdbHOn III INC COllJl
which has not developed readiness at
Washington to punish the guilty by all
the powers Of the government, if neces-
sary. Now poor, distracted Spain treats
us with all sorts of contumely; butchers
our citizens captured in questionable
manner at least; and treats our protests
with utter contempt, and the President
of the United States, who bravely pun
isbes the weak and defenceless citizens
of the Southern States where they do
not tamely submit to the rule and the
outrages Of the carpet-bagger, confesses
that as between this country and Spain,
we are not able to defend the right.
What do the Republicans who elected
this man; what must the American
people think of President who is cap
able of making sucha confession?

lowed by other transactions, and thus
fresh life and activity infused into all
branches Of trade. Beyond this, re-
marks the Ezprcss, 1--WE are authorized
to say that IN the West, both in
dry goods and groceries, the stocks
Of goods are SO small that, before
the winter expires, they viii have to be
largely replenished to meet the de-
mands of spring. The partial suspen-
sion of manufacturers now and for the
next few weeks viii only make this de-
nland more marked hereafter, and,
therefore, in the interest of labor and
capital to keep these factories at work
to the full measure Of the means and
ends available. If there was real de-
mand for goods in August in advance
of supplies, it is obvious that with a
change of times the supply will be
short and the demand more general.
While merchants, therefore, sail close
to the wind, and manufacturers look to
the present, both may well understand
that the panic is temporary and that
business win revive"

THE LAWS DELAYS.

There is one thing apparent in the
conduct of our public trials that must
be regretful to every man who takes to
heart the veal of society. We mean
the disposition and effort of counsels
defending criminals to take advantage
of the weakness..of the law in most triy-
ial matters of technicality, and to de-
cry and insinuate and harrass the laws
of the land with charges of wrong and
unconstitutionality until the very GRIM
inal at the bar comes to fancy himself
the aggrieved party, or that his only
crime has been in not being crafty
enough to foil the processes of the law.
This is all wrong and subversive of vir-
tue, for we can only have virtue in the
republic while the laws of the land are
held as august and venerable and are
respected by all the people of the land.
When criminal is arraigned let it be
as before a dread presence whom we
would honor as the exponent of right
and justice and the vieegerent OF those
great principles of morality given us of
God himself.-GreeBcUille Union.

THE OUTLOOK AT NEW YORK.


Tho Neae York Express of the 18th
inst. has an article under the title "The
Skies Brighter" in which more than
usually cheerful view is taken of the
business affairs Of the country, The
Express holds the opinion that the pam
ic in this country will soon pass over,
unless its effects are to come back upon
us from Europe, and continues: ''The
stringency in money there may still re-
duce prices here, but there is even less
reasons for panicin England than in
the United States, for no such inroads
have been made upon capital there as
here through speculative enterprises;
but pailics are like 5orms, and with
hardly less warning Of their coming
than one has of the change in the ba-
rOmeter. Unfortunately for mercan-
tile trade at home, two Of the best bus
mess months in the year have been
passed in a state of commercial disas-
ter August gave tokens ofgreat pros
peIity, and more orders were issued
than could be executed in the factories
and workshops of the country. Sep
TENDER opened with good prospects for
trade, the best in two years or more,
when came the crash in Wall street and
the exposure Of clerical frauds and
abuses by principals Of most sacred
trusts, and the end has been lost for
tunes, great failures, suspensions of bus
mess, and in Wall street transactions
little shrinkage of values equal to two
or three hundred millions of dollars.
But the silver lining TO the financial
cloud which now overhangs the country
is, in the estimation of the Express,
that the merchants of New York and
other places wereprepared for the shock.
They had not overtraded as rule.
They were not extended beyond all just
limits. Again, merchants are paying
their Indebtedness with promptness and
making new bills within reasonable
limits. These, when paid, viii be fol-

There was a full train of passen-

The accident was clearly the result of
criminal neglect, the cause being a bro
ken rail. Twenty places within a half
mile present just the same liability to
a similar accident.

grand jury Of that county might dowell
