Failures in 1873.

The financial disasters Of the last year
are reduced to arithmetical exactness in
the interesting and valuable review
which we lay before our readers. The
most noteworthy features of the record
are: s.,.., .-,'...s - f,ga IL
l. That the failures in 1873 were
more numerous than at any former Pc
riod in the history of the country. '.s
2. That the suspensions last year
were 1,100 in excess Of the year preced-
ing, with increased liabilities to the
amount Of. .$107, ,443, 900. x.s:. ..:-,..s :.
g.. That Of this increase the city Of
New York is chargeable with $71, ,O00,-
900, and the remainder of the country
$50, 900, 900. ..s. ,....s,, : -. -.
f.. That the revulsion was financial
rather than a commercial one, and that,
as a rule, the great mercantile interests
are to-day essentially as sound as, before.
5: That, nevertheless, the jobbing
trade disclosed an expansions of credits
much beyond the bounds of prudence,
+ but that 81 ....s zs< s4 sS,
6. The most prominent failures were
not chargeable to an unhealthy condi-
tion Of our internal commerce, nor an
inability, of the people at large to meet
their obligations, SO much as to the i'm
prudences and unwise management of a
few bankers, manufacturers and mer-
chants. -,i...., ., .,r. .E.4as,.. -...- g.sss
These are no new facts, we are aware
but, in presenting them, there are one
or two important considerations, which,
not heretofore prominently engaging at
tention, ought not to-? be lost sight of.
For instance, if the failures Of 1873were
largely in excess Of previous years, the
number of persons engaged in business
has also been largely multiplied, 80 that
after al Gt is an encouraging refection)
the former are not largely ip excess Of
the proportionate increase in the num-
Der Of the latter, Again, danger is at
hand often when the, financial skies are
dearest, the general trade ofthe .coun-
try apparently never looking more pros
porous than during the early. part Of
September, Immediately preceding the
panic. The lesson TO be, read from
"reminiscences like these ,is. as useful as
it is obvious, namely that business men
discover the true element of safety ia
keeping their affairs at all times in
"snug shape, and ready. for any emer;
genov." ."-N =. Bulletin. s

FREIGnTs TO KANSAS.

General Freight Agent Lewis
Viele, of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railroad, has made s new
freight tariff between Chicago and
Emporia, Kansas. The new rates
er per hundred than the old ones.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Yiele was
compelled to make this advance by
his Kansas connection-probabIy
meaning the Kansas Pacific, and A.
L. & 5. Fall the advance going 10
them.
The new rates are as follows +:
First class, 81 10; second class, 50
cents; third class, so cents; salt,
lime, stucco, cement. lime,
and plaster, in lots of 10 barrels or
more, per barrel, SI20; lumber.
shingles, .a;h, sash, doors, and
blinds, in csr loads, per 100 pounds,
% cents; horses and mu es, per car,
S110; cattle aud hogs, per car, S110;
sheep. per car, 500; Class A, per
car, Sis; Class B, per car, 500.
The merchants and shippers oil
Central and Southern Kansas, had a
right TO expect reduced, instead OF
increased, rates. If the advance
was compelled by Kansas connec.
tons, as the freight agent of the
Rock Island company alleges, il
would be well enough TO know
what connection in this State de.
manded the increase, and what in
fuences were used to secure it.
Kansas has pursued a lamentably
weak policy towards railroads, and
go long as the State Legislature con.
tinues that policy the agricultural
mercantile, and manufacturing
classes will be made the victims o
corporations which they created an(
richly endowed with lands ant
money.-LeavenWorih Times.

A FUNDAMENTAL LAW.-We sup
pose it is come TO be universally ac-
knowledged that, after Il steady and
persistent trial for some thousands
of years, there is no way to get q
living except to work for it. The
condition may seem to be 2 hard
one even to the philosopher who
| believes, or persuades other people
to believe, that labor. in the ordina-
ry acceptation of the term, is q
blessing in disguise; but there il ia,
and We must make the best of it.
True, there are many who, despising
| this fundamental law OF our being,
exert their ingenuity TO cvade lis
conditions, by endeavoring to some
how live by their wits, as the saving
| is: but as that kind of living usual
| ly begets as many pains and as much
toll, after their kind, as fall TO the
lot of plodding industry, after all ii
| comes to about the same thing II

Yiction cannot be impressed upon

In a late address in Brooklyn
Mrs. LiveTInore said: " When l
went into the colleges and asked
about the health of the women, /
found it was the gentlemen students
who broke down and not the wo-
men. President Angel, OF the
Michigan State University, told me
that the young men were getting
excused continually from their stud
les because of poor health, but it
was hardly eYcra woman asked any
sort of privilege or offered anything
of an excuse" TIE question arises,
are women healthier than men? Can
they endure more mental labor than
men? If SO, when we think of
their vast preponderance in num-
bers, and their mighty moral influ-
ence in civilized countries, we
need not be surprised if male
supremacy was near its grave.
The women could compel the men
to take back seat, and they may
rise up in their strength in a short
time and demand as right what
they have been asking as favor.

STRIcT.-The late General Con-
ference of the NJ. E. Church South
passed some pretty stringent reso-
lutions on the question of amuse-
ments. AS we understand the mat
ter, there is TO be no dancing. No
wine-bibbing. No organ solos in
church. No operate music. Choir
singing, preludes and interludes on
the organ were all condemned.
The minister is 10 have charge OF
the music. We wonder if he will
be required in all cases to "start the
tuner" We like good singing, and
dislike, slow, drawing, murderous
singing. We also dislike the
squawking of operate singers.
The one is ludicrous; the other il
meaningless. We fear our South
ern friends in trying to avoid one
treme have run into another

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

This bill, the special pet of Sena-
tor Sumner, is not looked upon
with favor by many leading Repub-
licans of the South. Senator
Brownlow opposes it with all the
earnestness of his being. 1t is be-
lieved that "mixed schools will
not only destroy the whole school
system in the Southern States, but
effectHally clean out the Republican
rarty in every congressional district
in the South.
The school system of the South is
not very bad. 1t provides for equal
common school advantages without
regard TO color, but keeps the color
ed children in schools seperate from
the whites. This system is submit
ted TO by the whites, and the most
intelligent blacks prefer it to the
mixed school system, 1t is cl4imed
that the Civil Rights bill will de-
stroy this system. and force upon
an unwilling people mixed
schools" which means in the South,
no schools.
We are almost certain that scuh a
bill will work to the injury of both
whites and blacks in the Southern
States. A general tax for school
purposes should be used to afford
equal facilities for education to all
children, but when that condition is
complied with, The law has no right
to enforce any given plan, or forbid
any plan OF classification, unless it
is shown that it effects the rights
of child to full and equal educa-
tional facilities. The Chicago Post
and Mail assumes the following po-
siIion:
The fact that because colored per-
sons are taxed, therefore they ac-
quire certain rights. does not multi
fy the fact that because white peo-
pie are taxed, therefore they have
certain rights. This important
truth seems liable to be overlooked
in legislating for the South. The
probabilities are that three-fourths
of the school tax levied there is
paid by white people, whose social
notions, although doubtless verv
foolish, are deeply rooted. Has the
government right TO Infringe them

with strict justice? Congress GER
