THERE is nothing more interesting
or important touching the financial
condition Of this country than the
showing It is able to make, as to it,
exports compared with its imports. 1t
10 reported that the forthcoming re-
port Of the Bureau OF Statistics will
make the following showing: For
the year 1874 the total Of the imports
was $577, 1863, ,7l6, against $624, ,997, ,4S7
for. 1873. The domestic exports for
1874, were $500, O,473. .735, against $685..
1888 for 1873. This gives . balance
of trade In our favor of $43, ,104, ,02o,
while In 1873 the balance was against
US by over SIS, ,000, 900. This 10 an Inn
provement for 1874 over 1873 ON our
sidc Of over SCI, 100000. Much Of this
was caused probably by reason Of the
panic at the close of 1873, effectlng the
following year, but II seems quite ev-
ident that in our trade with foreign
nations, we are rapidly gaining . sound
footing. In our opinion this is the
very best sign Of bettering Of our
financial condition that We could have.
The total number Of emigrsnts ar
riving In the United States during the
year 1874, is given at 260Sl4, of whom
l59,9S8 were males. The nationality
Of these emigrAnts 10 given a. follows /:

IT 10 not q Nttla -Amnaing tn AGO how
some of the journals Of the country,
which long since assumed the guilt oi
Beecher before q particle of evidence
for tho defence had been heard, are
now daily whistling through the grave
yard TO keep their courage up, by
making an argument In each issue de.
rogatory to the defense. Prominent
among them 10 the Chicago Journal
and Tribune. The best evidence that
can be adduced to prove that man 10
worsted in an argument, 10 that he
can't be sAtished to stop arguing. Tho
these journals arrived clearly, to them.
selves, at the conviction of Beecher
months ago. yet they continue to ham,

as though much yet remained to get
the world to agree with them. We
have noticed that the Journal has not
for q single day failed lately to 80 for
Beecher editorially, and also his wit
