The Prospeet or Rnsineas.

Mr.. McKillop, OF McKillOp &SPragues
Commercial Agency, and Mr.. Barlow, Of
Dun. Barlow & Co.'s Commercial Agency,
have given their views on the prospects
Of business to New York paper, and
neither Of them finds the outlook very
cheerful. Mr.. McKillOp reviewed the
process Of liquidation that had been OPP
Grating since the panic, and thought that
It had brought trade into a fair and I'M
dsniably healthy condition. New York
had suffered from the diversion Of its
trade to interior points nearer the retail
merchants. The business Of the country
At large was suffering from high tariff,
cheap money, the disoFganized state Of
monetary affairs, and costly labor, As a
rule merchandise was as cheap as it
was in 1860; but the price OF
labor and high rents operated against
the consumer, and lessened the abil.
ity to purchase what was needed
by many. Mr.. McKillOp stated that from
the Canadian line south to New York
merchants had transacted fair average
business, excepting perhaps the lumber
men and those dependent on them. In the
East, manufacturing had been dull,
Stoke we're too heavy and prices too low
to induce heavy operations. The effect
Of this was felt most in Boston, and was
visible in the very large number Of first
class stores to let in that city, The West
has probably been the heAlthiest and most
vigorous business section during the last
six months, and money must have been
made In large sums by merchants in the
interior. Should, therefore, the coming
harvest prove good, the West would be
rich, aud its best anticipations realized.
In the South the commercial public were
not yet out Of danger, but the people at
large we're rapidly coming up to higher
state Of real prosperity than they had en-
joyed,
The statements Of Mr.. Barlow arc even
Ieas cheerful than these not very buOyant
opinions Of Mr.. McKillop, He felt that
the year, so far, had been failure in
business sense, and trade had fallen far
below the expectations Of the modesIly
hopeful ones. Indeed, he could not feel
justified in saying that the future would
be much better, in view Of what had
passed up to this, and he judged that the
most that could be done by careful busi-
ness men would be to preserve their as
sets from shrinkage. lie believed that
much Of the present stagnatiOn was due to
the existence Of large unremunerated
class Of operatives, who had little or no
money with which to buy even the com.
mon necessaries OF life,

midst of the misgoverned and bank

The receipts into the State, treasury
for 1872, together with the balance
on hand at the commencement of the
year, amounted to $2,Sl7,723, and
the disbursements to $l,S14,594, lea
wing the substantial balance of ST.

the present year. The net increase
of the taxable wealth in the State is
$l3,709,Q0o oyer 1873, an increase
which the Governor very warantably
speaks Of as a gratifying evidence of
a healthful prosperity. The debt of
the State on the 1st Of January was

results as yet, is growing in favor

mischief against the white people.

congratulate his new circuit on his

Our Packet.

The performance and grand doings
of the Bart. Able, our peerless and
superb Packet on her last trip, must
be our excuse for again specially no
ticing her and the manner she is con
Gducted. On her last trip it will be
remembered that she encountered I'M
paralelled bad weather, and was fully
4S hours behind time, leaving the
bull-pen below Town at dark on
Thursday. All this to a slow coach
concern, which nowadays has be-
come epidemical, would have faltcred
almost any steamboatman, but Capt.
Sinnott and his crew are made OF
sterner material than ordinary ones,
and so they overcome the whole easy
and with eclat To make long story
short and to place justice where true
merit halls her, we will officially state
that the Bart. Able reached New Or
leans on Saturday morning at six
o'clock, in horrid bad weather, had
on board 1872 bales cotton, 3S2 sacks
cotton seed, 81 hogsheads sugar and
Is barrels of molassses, all of which
she discharged and was off on time
that same evening for home and the
headquarters of the Democrat, which
she reached by 5 o'clock Monday
nornin 6, and with a fair up freight
at that Now we contend this is bus
mess and the right sort at that, and
plainly indicates that the Democrat
has good grounds of argument to
brag on the Bart. Able and her man
ner of being a Packet, and must say
it comes up to the old and true idea
of Packet doings and has the old ring
of the true whistle about it.

THE DEMOCRAT has many coun-
try subscribers who are in arrears
one, two, three and four years, and as
the crops have turned out well, and
Christmas times approaching, we
would suggest to these delinquents,
who have enjoyed our paper SO well
and long, to now come to our help
and send US some little remittance in
way Of payment. Where the whole
amount cannot be spared, we will be
satisfied with half, and be thankful
at that!

THE SITUATION.

The New Orleans Evening Plea
yune of Saturday, the latest we have
from the City, sums up the situation
as follows:
The followers and special hence
men of would-be United States Sena-
tor Pinchback are very blue over the
news~pof- the failure on the part of
Morton and West to seat him, and
are about ready to throw up the
sponge in token of their rings de-
feat.
OF course the darlzeys lay all the
blame at Kellogg's door, and are now
swearing vengeance against him for
his opposition to Pinchback; firss and
last and all the time. -
The truth of the business is, that
it never was intended that Pinchback
should be seated and he has been
kept hanging in suspense all the time
merely for the purpose Of keeping
him quiet and preventing him from
forming obnoxious combinations that
might obstruct the plans Of the real
leaders of the party in this State and
at Washington.
| 1t has been known from the very
first that President Grant was firmly
set in his opposition to Pinchback,
for the reason that it interferes with
what chances brother-in-law Casey
might have for the important po-
sition. r,. ..... ..'
In the event Of Casey's discount
ture the Presidents said to be ready
| to lend his aid to either Packard or
Kellogg, or some other equally pro-
nounced Radical leader in Louisiana,
upon whom he could safely depend
for support in theSenate in the event
ola close rub in the passage of any
of his faEorite measures. -... o..
The colored members of the Legis-
lature say that if Pinchback is
thrown overheard utterly, that they
intend to go in and support Demo
crat for the position In preference
either to Kellogg, Packard or Casey.
This, they claim, is the only way
that their champion can "get even"
1t will be remembered that Pinch
stated to Kellogg that if he was not
seated on his new credentials he
would decline to be a candidate
again and would publicly withdraw.
This pledge Pincn's henchmen say
their leader intends to keep, but that
he will use all the means in his pow
er to spoil the plans Of those who
have been so active in securing his
defeat.

-MR. Carpenter is by no means in
accord with the President on South
ern policy. He thinks the time has
come for swapping horses; better
trade off the arpet-baggers for the

time. The Wisconsin Senator is no
very shining example Of morality,
but his shrewd sagacity knows very
we'll when to pretend t'virtue, if he
has it not" ''''''t
