The ESTABLISHMENT In our midst of an
agency similar in its purposes to the mercau.
tile agencies Of New York and other large
business centres, marks a step in our growth,
and shows that In u short time We can Justly
claim consideration Is q mercantile city. It
Is well that we have all office whereat re-
liable Information concerning the status of
our business men can be obtained. As a rule,
our established business men arc honorable
In their transactions; but this Office, in
measure, will check unknown sharpers from
beginning business by placing within the
power of their fellow-dealers the means of
knowing something Of their antecedents.
Had such an agency been started two or
three years ago many of our respect able
business houses would have been saved no
inconsiderable amounts.

SHORT TINE 400 prayer was offered in
this city for the moral improvement Of ed.
itors, and now u wicked one Of the favored
class, belonging to New York, is out with the
suggestion that this is an excellent chance To
test the merits of the prayer gauge proposed
by Professor Tyndall There seems to be an
objection to this plan, however, unless editors
are allowed to choose sides. Eyon then, SO
far as our city Is concerned, It would hardly
be a fair test, for should 1t happen that the
editor OF our morning contemporary
desired to range himself, as against all
the others, on the side to be prayed for, he
might be induced to believe with Tyndall
after the experiments had been concluded.

AT Tue PRESENT TINE a large number Of
the State Legislatures arc In session, and In
some shape or other the subject Of the in
adequacy OF the prevailing penalties for
checking crime will be considered. At GER
tain periods crimes of all character, from
deliberate murder to petty larceny, seem TO
Increase ut such fearful rate that the theory
which gives to crime the characteristics Of
an epidemic has come to be regarded with
favor. Such period may be said to be upon
the country.
The laws delays In murder trials need to
be shortened by legislative acts 80 that the
cases may he more readily disposed of. We
are almost burdcnod by laws providing pun
ishments, but the objection to them rests In
their operation. They are clumsy and lum.
bersome, and under them justice is yery
tardy. To New York and other States con.
talning large cities where crimes most abound
this question Is one Of great Importance, and
will doubtless receive careful consideration by
their legislative bodies.

TIE SIGNAL CORPs OBSERVATIONS.

THE FlNNaL tOhFS OHSERNATIuNS.
The cautionaTy kilograms received from the
signal corps observers during the late Ice
freshets give abundant proof that were Con.
gress more liberal in Its appropriations for
the maintenance Of that efficient bureau and
for the extension Of its labors greater adyan-
tagc would result thcrefrom. But Il few STA
tlons have becu established ON the great
waters OF the West and they have more than
paid for their support by the useful luforlna-
tion they recently have issued. Let Congress,
he more liberal In Its allowance to the signal
corps, which has so rapidly won lts way into
public favor The great mass Of the people
arc benefited 10y its observations, and are
quite willing that 1t should be generously sup
ported by the establishment of more stations
and the employment Of the best assistance
that can be obtained. Under Its present or.
ganlzation the signal Office has many dlnlcul.
ties 10 contend with. Its chief observers re-
ce!re leFs pay than is usually given the lower
class OF mercantile clerks, and 90 long ID the
existing system lasts they cannot hope for
advancement. Some member OF Congress can |
make hit by the Introduction OF Il UilI having |
for Its object the reorganization OF TIL, yalu.

A COMPARISON of the imports at the port
OF New York for the week ending November
with those Of 1871 and 1871 for he same
period arc instructive, and show the immense
falling of In that department Of business. In
dry goods the figures are 1873, l,35s, 6sS
1871, s2,7S4, 4ss, and 1871, s2,ols,s35. In
other words, the amount this year Is almost
one half what II was a year ago. The figures
since January are: 1873, s33s, 466, OILS; 1877,

SIR: Under the above heading appears In your
impression Of to-day letter which / am sure
will be startling news to many OF the intending
competitors for the premiums offered for draw
ings for the building in question. II those In
tending competitors who have not yet delivered
their drawings be allowed to compete, II will be
O gross injustice to those who have compiled
with the terms OF the announcement. II what
appears In the letter under consideration be cor
rect II must have been IN an absent moment that
those who are intrusted wlthlthe business OF Sc
lection, &C., granted to some competitor an ex-
tension OF time without considering the great
disadvantage under which they might he placing
others concerned, as i feel suro 1t would not
have been done II fully considered by them.
others II they have not finished their work II
Is their own fault, and they alone should suffer,
plenty OF time having been allowed.
Besides this, those who have delivered their
work believing the time Of delivery to have ex-
plred, do not continue to keep the ideas they
have worked out secret, and no doubt freely
communicate the principles OF their drawings
and other important points, and II any so chose,
they have plenty OF time TO pront by the informa-
ton, Again, Is IL right that those who may have
had 10 get mp their drawings very hurredly, In
order 10 got them delivered by the specified
time, should see others, on the same plea OF In
course IL Is telrable 10 obtain the best possible
arranRements; and should 1t SO happen that any
of those sent In tter the LIST be considered supe-
rior TO any OF the others they could be taken Into
aftt the awards, and the archi-
muneratedi but tn nix, and feel that Others will
DIN me In thinking, that In Justice none OF those
plans not delivered by the time announced
upon the three premiums. Had a public an
