The Revival Of Business.

The final settlement of the currency
question and the adjournment of Con-
gress we predicted would be followed
by a revival of prosperity. So it is
proving. From the day the President
signed the new currency bill there has
been a perceptible improvement in
nearly all forms of business. The in
quiry for all kinds of goods has been
on the increase ever since and the
prospects for large fall trade are eX~
cellent. The iron industry, which is
usually first to suffer and the last to
recover from financial or commercial
disturbances, has been almost COM
pletely Frustrated since last fall. But
even in this branch matters are now
decidedly looking up. The Cambria
Iron Works, the most extensive in the
country, have resumed and are now
running the rolling mills night and
day. Nearly all the furnaces through
out the State are still idle, but prepar-
atoms for blowing in many of them
are said to be already in progress

mended the unfortunate Mrs. Surrat
for executive clemency, he not only re.
fused to listen to the applicants for
mercy in her behalf, but actually sus-
pended the great writ of Liberty in
order to bring the poor woman to the
scafIold, On this topic he spoke at
considerable length, and asserted that
no such disgraceful act of official cor
rupton had ever dsgTaced the annals
OF modern states. He referred to his late
Memphis speech, which he regarded
rs dangerous, and perniciors sJohnson
was himself treatherous. He said that
he was trying To delude and to impress
the people with the idea that he was a
great Constitutional lawyer, 10y bring

veto message in proof OF his bearing
and ablity,a and charged that he John
SOM had not written one word OF it.
He (Foote) further stated that it was
charged by Johnson's friends that he
was afraid to meet him in discussion,
and said that he would cheerfully meet

to your correspondent, in private
conversation, that Johnson had re o.

prepared to take it up. He said he had

speech at this place and had
stopped over for that purpose, he was
on his way from Washington City to

vorably of the present administration,
and in the most eulogistic term of the
work of the present Congress. AL

willing to give the devil his dues. He
was frequently greeted from the au-

covered with cranberries, and even sus-
