The grain trade of New York has decreased
in a rapid manner within the past ten years.
There is also far less grain received at Buffalo

and the erection of grain elevators.

ANDREW JoHNsoN's speech in the Senate
Monday proved disappointing effort to the
crowd which filled the galleries. 1t was no.
tieeably free. from personalities, and impeach-
ment was not once alluded to. After talking
10 the question for an hour Mr.. johnson re-
lapsed into his old habits, and fell to talking
of the constitution. The newest thing he
had to say of that venerable instrument was
that it was like the bed OF Procrustes, and
that all men who did not conform to it must
be stretched out if too short, and cut off If
too long. The latter mode of treatment
might have been applied with advantage to
Mr.. Johnson's speech.

WE notice that SC" in the Advertiser
again returns to the assault on Gov. Dingley
for postponing the execution of Wagner, and
asserts that our statement that he was le-
quested by the Council to postpone the exe-
cution last fall, is untrue. We repeat the
idea we intended to convey by that state
ment, viz, that the members of the Council
who had voted not to commute the sentence
ofWagner first suggested to the Governor the
idea of postponing the execution Of Wagner
to January, and requested him to do so.
While two of the councillors were absent
when the request was made, and were
afterwards spoken to on the subject, 1t was
supposed that they concurred in the original
request of the majority, although one who
voted for the commutatlon did make the sug-
gestion OF doubt on the point OF. postpone
ment. However that may have been, we
presume that "G'' on enquiring, will find that
the five councillors who voted against COM
mutation on their own motion requested
Gov. Dingley to postpone the execution Of
Wagner to January. Further, they urged
their request by recalling the fact that Gov.
Chamberlain postponed, for a similar time,
the execution of Harris. How does it hap
pen that &c" finds so much fault for doing
precisely what Gov. Chamberlain did, when
he euloglzes the latter?
THE Hartford Courant speaks encourag-
ingly of the prospect in Connecticut. The
meetings are large and enthusiastic,-a sure
indication of full vote. The disgust at the
work and character of the "reform" legisla-
ture is very strong, and the feeling of uneasi-
ness at the men who are coming to the front
as Democratic leaders is marked. The Re
publicans are not minded because, of slight
dissatisfaction with the officers, to give
over the control of the ship to the mutineers.
Those of them who left the party temporarily
because they thought some ofits leaders un-
worthy, now see the tendency of the Democ-
racy. It's pretensions of reform are sham,
and its spirit the old spirit of caste, and pref
udice and oppression. They have now re-
turned to the only party which gives promise
of substantial reform.

THE spirit of the Southern Democracy is
evident enough in North Carolina, where
they purpose to revise and in effect overthrow
the reconstruction constitution of 1865, on
the ground that it had not the sanction of the
people, and was framed in obedience to mill
tary orders. AS soon as ever they dare they
will break in all the reconstructed states the
pledges, stated and implied, made at the con-
clusion of the war.

ALDERMAN Morris of New York, who
wanted all the dogs OF the city muzzled, now
asks that street bears should on the ground
of humanity, be left unmuzzled, and. the
newspapers are laughing at him. The alder
man is not far from right however. The
"household pet" and "faithful friend of man''
is considerably more dangerous than a bear,
and not half as amusing.

THE dead Democratic Legislature of Penn
sylvania is getting kicked all round. The
Philadelphia Press has been trying to find
something good to say about it, but can only
think OF Mark Twain's account of the funeral
OF notorious desperate and evil-doer out
West, where the preacher after going through
the rites OF Christian burial, announced that
the friends could have an opportunity to
make any remarks on the virtues of the not
much-lamented dead. An awkward silence
ensued, in which everybody tried in vain to
to recall single good deed. At last small
man, in astammerng voice, managed to get
out, "Well, he makes a nice quiet corpser

The biennial spring election in Michigan
takes place on the 5th of April. Two asso-
ciate justices of the Supreme Court, two re-
gents of the University, the judges of the
twenty circuit courts by districts, and town
officers are to be chosen. Party lines have
been strictly drawn, and the entire Republi-
can delegation from the state have united in
an address to the people, calling attention to
the importance of the contest, and urging
upon Republicans the necessity of supporting
by their votes "the integrity of the union
and maintenance of the equal rights Of all its
citizens" The contest will be watched with
great interest, and there will be much curios-
ity to see if the Democrats can sustain their

NOT A QUESTION OF HONOR.

The proposed handing over OF the
North American Indians 10 the manage
ment of the War Department is evolving
considerable diversity Of opinion from
various journals. When the nows first
came We took the ground that the In
dian Bureau should be organized into
separate department and given regular
Secretary, who would occupy subordin-
ate position in the Cabinet Still the
proposed change is better than the present
lobiolly. thieving, devil-may-care style OF
running the thing. Some OF the eastern
papers think that the Presidents rec
ommendation OF the change is q con-
fession that he is not able TO make the
Interior Department honest, and so has
TO take the affairs OF its hands alto
gether. Dat Grants honor or wisdom
is not concerned in the matter at all.
The whole thing 10 practical question
OF ability to prevent fraud and is mat
ter OF dollars and cents. Fifteen years
ago there we're thirty per cent. more In
dians than there are now. Then the In
dian Bureau cost $4,000, 900 annually,
now II costs a fraction less than 81. 900,
900 year. This is where the screw II
