~FIANANCIAL VIEW OF 1T.
New York Financier.


Tennessee has elected, on the 55th
ballot, Mr.. Andrew johnson, whose re.
turn to public life is about the most
striking instance Of the day of the
revenges time brings around. Mr..
johnson has very decided faults, but
he was greatly sinned against. He
did consider the Presidency a public
trust and not a private perqUisite: be
appointed no relatives to Office and did
not have his salary raised, and If the
articles Of Impeachment should bestud-
led again now we doubt whether they
would show as good a case against him
as the Louisiana affair makes to-day
against his successor. He went ont of
Office with clean hands and ~unaccused
of any dishonest act, and although
his devotion to the Constitution became
rather ridiculous in the course Of his
swinging" tour it might not be amiss
if he could give some of the statesmen
Of to-day a little of his respect for
that document. He had the dema-
gogue's notion about "the bloated bond
holder" before he left Office, and may
be unsOund still as to the obligation Of
the public debt; on the other hand, he
had sound opinions upon thesubject Of
money and probably has not changed
them, He returns to the Senate to
find few Of his old enemies confronting
him, and has fair prospects Of being a
very lively member, even should he not
prove a very useful one.

SENATOR JOHNsON IN NEW YORK.

40" -An
Andy johnson is one Of those public
men whose very mention somehow or
other prOvokes a smile. His eccentrici-
ties, his original ideas, his great force
Of character, his remarkable stubborn
ness still impressed upon the mind
Of the public despite the six years that
have elapsed since his retirement from
the political stage. A great many peO-
pie in New York love Andy, a great
many hate him, although the majority
are certainly in his favor, but every
body is amused at the mention Of him,
and laughs good-naturedly when hear
ing of him. There Is another impoE-
tant point-nObOdy impugns his hon
esty. The writer ~cOnversed yesterday
with many Of the most influential men
Of this city, and though some derided
him-they were but very few, however
all acknowledged his integrity.
The Republicans were extraordinary
" taciturn on the subject Of Andy
JOhnsOn's election. Men who usually
are glad to give their opinions for the
enlightenment Of the public, when re-
quested to state what they thought Of
his election tried to laugh the matter
off and exhibited great unwillingness to
tell what significance they attributed
to this remarkable event. The Demo-
Gratis, as viii be seen from the subjoin-
ed opinions Of distinguished members
Of the Manhattan Club and the Tam.
many Society, applauded his return to
the political arena almost unanimously.
In fact, the opinions generally express
ed about him in this city seem to be
much more favorable than those given
in the national capital, where his pecu-
liarities of manner and temper are
probably remembered more wildly by
members of Congress and other Off
Gals.

THE A OF A D
A Very Unsatisfactory Exhibit. for
uuaF


New York Tribune, Feb. 1.
A review Of the month Of January
demonstrates the fact that the antici-
pations which were INDUCED at its
commencement have failed IN full real
ization. Trade in the great staples, as
a whole, has been duu, unsatisfactory
and generally at declining prices. Tue
exports Of merchandise from this port
alOne-and from all others in about the
same proportion-shOw a falling off
in value as compared with January,
1874, Of over S4,000 coo, or about 20
per cent; and the decline has been
more marked during the last than dur
ing the first two weeks. For instance,
the exports Of wheat for this week have
been only 1886 bushels against $780,
5l4 for the corresponding week
in 1874, and for the month 9S2.-
468 bushels against 2,7l6,10S
in January, 1874. In domes-
tic dry goods there are indications that
prices, particularly for cottons, have
touched ''hard pam" and that for the
future a merchant may buy an invoice
with some degree of confidence that
his competitor viii not be able the next
day to duplicate the order at lower
prices, and therefore he may have
some reasonable hope of making a
profit upon his trade. This by the way
does not necessarily imply that the
business this year viii be to any con-
siderable extent larger than hat Of
last year; but it does give reason to an
ticipate that the trade that may actu-
ally be done may be fairly profitable.
1t must, however, be borne IN mind by
our manufacturers that their capacity
for production at present largely ex-
ceeds the peoples ability to pur-
chase, and therefore that if they
repeat the mistake Of last Janu-
airy in running to their full capacity the
market may soon again be oyerstocked,
and as a consequence another collapse
inlpricesEwiu be likely tofollow. Theim-
pOrt9tion Of merchandises.fo the month
forms the one u~nfavorable feature,
being about 100000 in excess Of JAN
uary, 1874, and only S560,000 less than
in 1873. This, IN connection with our
large liabilities for interest abroad, the
fact that the price Of government bonds
admits Of their importation at a profit,
and the very material decline In our
exports Is not especially encouraging,
and does not give much promise of a
cessation of our specie shipments,
which already amount to the sum Of
$4,000 0 since Jan. l, against 1884,
600 last year. This constant and steady
drain upon our very limited supply of
gold fails as yet to attract the attention
which its Importance would seem to
demand. But if it continue six weeks
longer at the same rate as during the
past six weeks, it Will be likely to COM
mand the attention both of the gov
eminent and Of our financial institu-
tons.

Fl ELAA
The FIRST great work to which the
South should devote whateverinAuence
It may have with the present or the
coming Congress. Is the opening of the
Mississippi river to the commerce of
the world, and the repair Of its @levees,
whose present condition threaten The
destruction Of our richest Southern
lowlands. This is a home work that
win bringimmediate results by making
the South the highway of traffic be-
tween the grain-growing West and the
tropics as vel as Europe. Nor Will
1t occasion any sectional feeling, as
the whole country from the AIleghe-
MES to the Rock es are interested. We
may, indeed, arouse the ire Of
the railroad kings and monopoies
which have built artificial channels to
a distant ~seacoast, charging such rates
that Western farmers have found 1t
cheaper to burn their grain for FIRE
wood. But thinking men viii not long
indulge such folly, when nature pro.
vides a ready-made channel on which
to float their produce to the Sea. The
West are in arms against the monopo-
lists, and searching for cheaper trans
portation. The South has it, and
should urge its speedy utilization.
The recent report to Congress Of a
mixed board Of army and civil en-
gineers II favor of the jetty system for
opening the mouth Of the Miss ssippi,
is a hopeful sign Tor early progress in
the work, if properly seconded by those
so deeply interested in the result. A
Washington correspondent Of the NeU
York Tribune intimates that the work
viii be undertaken by the Government
under the control Of the Army En-
gineer Corps. This is regarded asunfor.
tunate, because Gen. Humphreys, the
Chief Of that corps, consumed the past
summer in eadeavoriug to show
the impracticability and immense cost
Of jetties. His estimate was SO 00.-
600, while the estimate Of the Mixed
Board who have just reported, Is but
| Sl6,OO0,O 600. Capt. Eads, the builder
Of the great st. Louis bridge, offers to
execute the work for SlI, ,0O0, ask,

The revolution proceeds. Matt,
Carpenter follows Zach. Chandler.
The North is moving, even to frozen
Michigan and Wisconsin. These sue
ccssi7e defeats Of typical Radicals,
identified for years with their party
and its policy, shows that there is no
turn in the tide Of popular opinion
concerning the politics Of the country,
In this view they more significant
than the November elections. They
repeat, ratify and strengthen the YER
diet then passed upon RsdicaIsm.
nor is the defeat Of Carpenter a
merely negative triumph. The plat
form upon which the Democrats placed
his successor elect, before giving their
support, makes him for all practical
purposes, a good old-iashioned Demo
crat. He goes to the Senate pledged
to "a constitutional currency, a tariff
for revenue only, and the supremacy Of
civil lazy over the military.

That 5000, rendered historic by
the ~"diabolical conspiracy which
dropped Senator Pomeroy, Of Kansas,
SO abruptly from public life a short
time ago, is stiIl unclaimed in the
Treasury Of that State. The Lower
House Of the State Legislature passed
a Joint resolution last week discIaim-
ing, on he part Of the State, all own

that it be taken from the Treasury and
given back to Ncssrs. York and Pom
croy, who shall dispose Of it as they
choose. Senator York cannot takcit, Of
course, without admitting that he lied
when be said it was given to him by
Senator Pomeroy as a bride for his
vots. Ms. Pomgroy cannot take it
without admitting that he did give it
as @ brljc. He has already virtually
admitted that by not bringing his case
to trial, SO his taking 5t would not

PTNCEzBACE, GRANT AND CASEY
Il is generally believed that Hoar's
Committee, now at New Orleans, viii
SccI compelled TO endorse the view Of
their predecessors that TIE work OF the
Returning Board was a fraud. White
House circles begin to fear they viii
report that the last election was fair
and without intimidation, which would
leave Grant without defence for his
military interference. Meanwhile,
Pinohback begins to realize that his
second election to the Senate was IL
legal, and now claims he did not for
aally resign. This change Of front
may result from a view, said to be en-
tertainod by the President, that KeI-
logg's lower house has not a lawful
quorum. owing to the persistent alb
senCe of the Democratic members re-
ported by the Returning Board. Kcl-
laggs Attorney General announced
this opinion several days agy, and It Is
not easy 20 surmisc his motive, unless
kellogg actually holds PinchBacE $
resignation. ia which case. as soon as a
quorum IS obtained, DE could give the
Legislature notice Of the Senatorial
vacancy, and IN due time elect Brother
in-iaw Casey to the American Senate.
Meanwhile Pinchback IS chatting at
Washington and threatens dire things
If he is not soon seated. He is a live

hNnrHER SIYLE d IMITATION

The Treasury Department has Ie-
peatcdly affirmed that none of the fibre
paper on which our cIrrencyis printed
has ever escaped from the factory.
This paper is universally regarded as a
test Of ge-nuineness. Recently New
York bankers have been deceived by
the fibre into accepting bills which are
pronounced counterfeit at Washington,
owing to the duplication Of numbers.
Those discovered thus far are Of the
denomination Of $500. All the circum-
stances, tie genuine paper, the perfect
engraving, and the high denomination,
point to a very ugly suspicion, namely,
that they are not cou-terfeits at all,
but overissues from the Treasury it.
self. RumoTs that more grecnbacks
were out than the books accounted for,
have been repeated at intervals for sew
eraI years past. There are still ahead,
for investigation, big "~b0nanzas" Of
corruption not now dreamed Of.
