OCEAN STEAMsHIPs.-Six ocean
steamers left New York for Europe
on Saturday. 1t was reported that
about as many passengers are going
to Europe as are coming this way
that is to say, the emigration, for the
first time on record, balances the i'm
migration 1t is probably that the re-
duction of steerage rates to SIS by the
English transatlantic steamship lines
will remain unchanged for some time.
A decided increase in the number of
steerage passengers is already notice
able on account of cheap fares.
A contemporary says; A newspaper
and newspaper editor that people don't
talk about and sometimes abuse are
rather poor concerns. The men and
business that an editor sometimes feels
it duty to defend at risk Of making
enemies of another class, are often the
very first to show ingratitude. The
editor who expects to receive much
charity or gratitude will soon find out
his mistake; but he should 60 ahead
and say and do what he conscientiously
thinks right without regard to frown-
ers or smilers.
A letter-writer in the South says
you cannot 60 on cotton plantation
in Alabama now without hearing the
commands: Senator, start right
smart to your cotton picking" Judge,
you go and bring my horse round =
or Colonel, have a shoe put on that
mule right along" Undoubtedly
things are considerably changed in
Alabama.
A curious question has sprung up
between two eminent jurists-Hon
Reverdy johnson and Hon. Charles
O'Conor The one thinks the Presi-
dent has a technical right to perpet-
uate mistake; the other that he
has an ethical right not to do so.
The question, then is-which is the
rule of right, the technical or the
ethical?
Cotton and wooden manufacturers

In despite of the cry of dull times
we are fully convinced that the Fall
trade is assuming large shape. Our
chief avenues of traffic are literally
thronged with pedestrians and crowded
with vehicles and packages of mer-
chandise ready for shipment to interi-
or points. We have long inclined to
the opinion that the familiar phrase
nothing doing was more to be ascri-
bed to the lucid recollection of album
dant money during war times than to
Just and fair account Of the present
Gradually we are returning to all the
acquisitions of safe, legitimate trade
Visiting merchants have been cautious
in their purchases, measuring well
their abilities to redeem their promises
to pay, but from accounts given us by
some of the leading jobbers and
wholesale merchants of our city, We
conclude that there have been more
buyers and more business done during
the last few weeks than has been in the
same period for many years. We feel
justified too in this conclusion by the
steady and uninterrupted engagement
of all our various express and trans
fer companies. Our railroads and
steamboats,, though constantly ext'n-
ding facilities for transportation, are
kept busily employed, and we do not
hesitate in the expression of the opin-
ion that our fall trade will prove one
of the best that has been known for
vears-Baltimore -Narktt Joaumal.

The LUMBERMEN IN CoUNCIL.-An
important meeting O. the branch of the
Lumbermen' Exchange of Williams
port, Pa, was held Tuesday. The fol
lowing preamble and resolutions Were
unanimously adopted Whereas, oW-
ing to the large stock of lumber on
hand in all sections of the country
and to the depressed condition of all
the business interests of the country
and to the action of railroad compan-
les carrying from this point, by comb
nation increasing the rates of freight
one dollar per thousand feet from this
point, while the rates were slmUltane-
ously reduced from three 10 four dol
lars per thousand feet from all points
West, thereby enabling large amounts
of lumber to be shipped into our mar
ket at price less than the cost Of pro
duction here, necessarily resulting ii
loss and ruin to those engaged in the
business here, unless steps are taker
to counterfeit, the same, and the onl.
feasible way to do this, by reason Of
the action of the railroad companies
is to reduce our product largely
therefore,
Resotued, That we will adopt the
resolution passed at a meeting of the
national association at East Saginaw
and curtail the cutting of our mills
next season to two thirds the average
cut of the last two years.
Rcsolrcd, That the action of railroad
companies in charging us three hfths
as much freight for carrying our lum-
Der two hundred miles as they do for
carrying lumter from Western States
eight hundred to one thousand miles,
is an unjust discrimination against a
large State industry, and is unwise and
unjust in its operation, and was not
contemplated when their chartered
privileges were given them, and if per
sisted in steps should be taken at once
to bring the matter before the people
in such manner that they may know
how corporations created by them
are destroying the business interests
of this State, and correspondingly ben
citing the interests of other States.
