Improved Business Prospects.

Not only in Baltimore, but in all
quarter of the country are there now
evidences of developing confidence and
of revival in business. The leading New
York papers publish encouraging arti-
Giles in reference to the spring trade,
and predict great activity during the
coming month. The wholesale deal
) and importers say that trade de-
mands are bettr than at any time
since the panic; and there is abundant
evidence of greater disposition on the
part of capitalists to embark in new
enterprises, while the abundance Of
money and the high price of govern
ment securities are stimulative Of spec
ulation. The Chicago Tribune pre-
diets a return Of commercial prosperity
throughout the West, one of the most
Trustworthy signs of which is the bet
tered condition of the farmer class.
The railroad controversy is largely
lessening the middle mems vocation,
thereby improving prices to agrlcul-
t lrists. Accounts from St Louis and
other western points also show a SIM
liar state of business and increased
movement. In Baltimore the bust
ness signs are healthy in all depart
ments and the low railroad rates are
working decidedly in favor Of our
city, trade.-.Sun

DEFINING PARTY PoLITICs.-How
an independent defines the merits of
parties is shown in the St. Louis Re-

ford to be responsible for, and the dem
ocrats have as few virtues as they can
base claim to popular favor on.
One party is known to be bad and the
other is suspected to be not good.

Probabilities.

If you are a man of business, and
should you advertise, and that liberal
ly, the probability is that you will re-
tire with competency.
In all probability, if you have an
Intelligent boy, and place him at the
printing business, he will grow to be
/. worthy and honored citizen.
The probabilities are, that a person
who continually borrows newspaper,
would be guilty of something meaner
If he would not be found out.
If you want to subscribe for paper,
send the subscription price to the ed
itor, with your name and address, and
the probability is that it will not be
refused
If you have favored newspaper,
and wish to surprise tie editor in an
agreeable way, get up subscri ption
club, forward the money, and the prob
ability is, that you will receive many
thanks.
If YOU are DESTROYS of communica-
ting any news to the editor, write it
intelligently and legibly on one side
of the paper, and the probabilities are,
if it is worth, it will receive the light of
day in print. VIC.

WASHINGTON.
Decision to Importers
Refiinding the Tax on State
Officers Salaries.
The New Five Per Cent, Loan.

WASHINGTON, July IA letter has
been received from Nc irew, saying he has
made no charges against Chief Clerk Holt
of the Internal Revenue Bureau, in connec-
tiOn with the whisky frauds. No infOrma-
tion whatever has reached the Department
to-day from any quarter on that subject.
Hayden's Exploring Expedition.
The Secretary Of the Interior has tele-
graphed TO OUray, one of the powerful
chiefs in Southern Colorado, requesting
him to allow Professor Hayden's expedition
to pass through that section without mo-
lestaSion.
Income Tax ON State OmeIAIs' saIa-
ries.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided to allow such claims of State
officers for the Tefunding of the income tax
paid upon the emOluments of their offices
as were filed in due time, whether those
emOluments consist of salaries or Of fees.
The New Five Per Cent. Loan.
The latest news from the syndicate in
dicates that they will decide TO take their
option for the entire remainder Of the new
five per cent. loan. The sales within the
last month have greatly improved, aud the
syndicate has already called for more bonds
than the amount of the last subscription.
The Treasury Department recently pre-
sented to the Attorney General for his
opinion on two questions arising under the
act of July IA, 1870, as re-enacted in the
Revised Statutes and under the act Of
March Sd, 1875, providing for an increase
of duties upon certain classes Of merchan-
disc therein specified. The first question
was whether the damage received during a
voyage between foreign ports and the port
of first arrival of merchandise entered for
immediate transportation TO an interior port
of destination, under above statutory prOyis-
ions to be ascertained at port of first arrival,
or at port of destination; if at port Of desti-
nation, then whether the ten days within
which proof of damage is required TO be
lodged in the cuStom-hOuse is to be COM
puted from landing of such merchandise at
the last port. After reviewing the law, the !
Attorney General says he is clearly Of
opinion that the damage received during |
an ocean voyage by goods entered for i'm |
mediate transportation under section 299O |
Of the revised statutes should be asceTtained |
at the port of final destination. Section |
2027 prohibits any allowance for damage |
on merchandise that has entered unless the |
proof to ascertain such damage shall be |
lodged in the custOm-hOUse Of such port |
where such merchandise has been landed, |
within ten days after the landing Of such |
