TIE price of living in the city Of New
York has not, it is estimated, declined
more than five per cent. in the past
three years. An article in the Times
shows that in meats of all kinds there
is no reduction; in fresh fish the price
appears to be about fifteen per cent. less,
while in smoked and shell fish the cost
is about the same as it was about three
years ago. Poultry and game show 40
decline, and butter, lard, cheese and
fruit remain at about the old prices.
Vegetables show a considerable reduc-
ton, at least twenty per cent, and eggs
show about the same decline iii price.
Flour, by retail, is from one dollar to
one dollar and fifty cents per barrel
cheaper, or from ten to twelve per cent.
less than it was three years ago" Mean
while, there is tendency to economy,
and consugners are finding that they can
with a little care save more than five
cents on n dollar.

Nor among the least of the sufferers
by the Belknap breakdown arc the fe-
male correspondents at Washington, who
have been wont to gush publicly over
the accomplishments, graces, dignity,
amiability, etc, of Mrs. Belknap. If
the dreadful lesson shall subdue their
tendency to gush at all times and in all
places over everybody. and everything,
the daily literature of this country will
be lightened of load under which it
has long groaned.

The San Franciscans, who, not long

THERE appears to be an unfortunate
defect in the law imposing penalty on
the introduction of spirituous and intox-
icating liquors in the Indian country.
BY the terms OF the law all Indians are
exempted from the penalty, and a num-
ber Of the shrewder children of the for
est" are availing themselves Of this ex-
emptiOn to carry on a lively trade in the
cup that inebriates as well as cheers.
The attention Of congress has been called
to the subject, and it is more than prob
able that the law will be amended.

IT would have been better for Mr.
Frederick A. Dockray, perhaps, to have
stayed in Cuba and fed upon the vapors
of his Spanish dungeon than to have
ventured back to his country while the
spirit Of investigation is on us. Mr.
Dockray has been seized, and iS,to be
investigated. He is charged with en-
bezzling five thousand dollars, while col
leetor of the port of St Johns, Florida,

Political rancor, he seems to think, is at
the bottom of this surprise.

RICHARD HENRY DANA, JE., has been
called before the committee On foreign
affairs to answer the charge of literary
piracy, preferred by Gen. Ben. Butler.
Until this matter is disposed of no action
will be taken upon Mr.. Dana's confirma-
ton as minister TO the court of st.
james. Mr. Dana is charged with delib-
erately aHpropriating William Beach
Lawrence's notes on Wheaton's Elements
of international Law in his own edition
of Wheaton, and with having been CON
yicted'in 1867 Of the ofense. General
Butler has intefposed this obstacle to
Dana's diplomatic career, probably being
actuated by an old grudge, as they have
been political opponents.
