The Lesson of the Hard Times.

When the war was over We began TO
count the cost, and we summed it all
up in so many dead, so many wounded,
so much waste ofInaterial, SO much ua-
tiOnal Indebtedness. And yet these
things did not begin 10 cover the cost.
They were simply the things which
could be resolved into tangible figures
and set down on the slate TO be added
up and rubbed out again.
The war was over, we say, when
Richmond fell; but its results were not
over then, nor are ihey now. From
that April day to the PRESENT we have
been reaping them in dozen ugly
shapes, chiefly, however, in taxes,
which SO emasculated the business OF
the country as to destroy its vitality,
and again in all forms of extravaganza,
which have destroyed and are destroy
ing fortunes every day.
fhe war was a time for the sudden
making of splendid fortunes, and when
il was over new and not a better So
ciety usurped the place OF the old. 1t
had only one claim to consideration,
money; it had only one way Of assert
ing its claim, by ostentatious display.
Queens of Shoddy were as plentiful in
society as ackberries' in June, and
each WED BY more gorgeous and
a more magnificent display to Outshine
her neighbor. So WAS inaugurated an
ERA OF oStentation, rivalry and jealousy
to which there appeared to be no end.
OF course, the leaven of extrava sance
and vulgar show worked down and
throush the mass, affecting i'm greater
or less degree all class of society.
The worth that culture, taste and NOR
ais make, went unrecognjZed, and the
best society was that which was best
housed, furnished, dressed and jeweled.
Wealth became the great social test of
the time, and hence display, the sign
of il, became Il necessity.
The years between the surrender of
Lee and the autumn of 1873 were a sort
of grand carnival time of vulgar show
and senSelesS extravaganza. 1t was the
fashion to ba o5tentatious, to assume,
even when we had it not, the virtue of
unlimited money. We do not assume
jt so much ut present, because il is not
go fashionable. Economy and simpii
city in living are becoming rather adj
rpirable qualities, and the man who
Hyes within his income and pays his
debts Is well thought of once more. The
lesson of the panic was rather severe
are: but WHEN we think of the tremen-
deus d zee witch the country WAS keep
ii:g up along the road uf extravagant
display, we are not certain that il was
not both wholesome and good. 1t is
not 4 recisely new or startling to say
that we snail reap as We SOW, but it Is
true. We sowed for ruin, and we reap.

District Attorney in the Brooklyn
court, in the Beecher matter, were
these: One against Moulton for libel
on Beecher; one against Tilton for the

was that the trial would result in no

THE PoRr ROYAL RAILROAD. The Au-
gusta papers state that on Friday after
noon. upon the application of John F..
Davidson, Stockholder in the Port
Royal Railroad, an injunction was issued
by Judge Gibson, directed against the
Georgia Railroad, restraining it from
paying the interest due on $780, 900 of
bonds of the Port Royal Railroad, en-
dorsed by the Georgia Road; also, re-
straining the road from, permitting any
OF the rolling stock of the Georgia Rail-
rond to be carried into South Carolina,
and praying for the appointment of n
receiver of the Port Royal Railroad in
Georgia. The bill charges that New
York firm. and the parties most inte-
rested in the road, have failed to comply
with the terms of their contract with the
Georgia Road, in not having paid the
floating debt Of the company, furnished
proper equipment for the road and line
of steamers from Port Royal to Northern
ports; that the Port Royal Road owes the
Georgia Road lnrge sums of money for
freight, use of cars and repairs, and is
unable to pay the same. The case, which
excites much interest in the railroad
circle, will be heard by Judge Gibson on
the 1lth inst.
