The Depressed Character OF
Trade,

Tho Ledger.
It is now generally conceded that the
political complications at the South are
sensibly depressing business at all Of our
Northern cities. Tho effect ia to cause
all classes OF business men to draw in
their affairs as closely as possible and
wait for more settled political condi-
ton. This is fol. more by those doing
business with the South than by others.
There is a hcsitancy in filing orders sent
by Southern merchants, especially from
South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississ.
ippi. Many orders arc allowed to lie over
untitled, when but for the political uncer.
tainty credit would be given unhesitating.
~. Firms that used at this season Of
tho year to invite by circular contracts
for future delivery are now silent, and
rather defer offers when they come in un.
solicited. There Is 4 universal desire to
keep business as close rs possible. This
will necessarily tell uniavorably on the
next springs business. Business men
hold that but for the political complied.
tions the country ought TO be exception.
ally prosperous. An era OF economy had
begun, and the balance OF trade was
largely In favor Of this country, as shown
by recent shipments Of gold from Eng.
land. Little encouragement was felt In
regard TO the future, but all are agreed
that until the present excitement is ended
business Of all kinds will remain stag.

count Of an interview with DR.. Le Moyne:
In solidly constructed residence on
Maiden street, Washington, Pa, an old
man is patiently awaiting his death. A
fatal disease is running its course with
him and he does not expect TO live TO see
another spring. For nine years he has
not been able to sleep in u horizontal
position, but passes his time in 4 big
rocking chair.
Wednesday evening a representative OF
the Chronicle was ushered into the presence
Of Dr., F. Julius 10 Moyne, who Is doing
more to spread the name Of his native
town to the four quarters Of the globe
than any citizen OF any village, town or
city in the United States. Over the big
hill, to the south Of his residence, and
Abouta mile from the window Of his
room, there stands newly built brick
building, that looks as like q trim little
public school house as anything could,
except for a third chimney stuck over in

An Inquiry.

Editors IntelligCncCr;
There is a bet between several Of your
pubaCribers in regard TO whether regular
soldiers arc entitled 10 vote at Presi-
dental election. A bets B that soldiers
in the United States regular army are
entitled 10 vote. Please let us hear from
you in your columns, and oblige
SUBSCRIBERS.
There is no United States law pre-
Scribing the qualifications Of a voter or
giving any one the right to vote in any
Of tho States. Every State has law OF
its own on tho subject Of suffrage, and is
only restricted by the Fifteenth Amend
ment from prescribing any gualifca-
lions it pleascs. The Constitution OF
West Virginia does not allow a soldier
OF the United States army TO gain a resi-
deucc in this Stale by being stationed
anywhere within its limits, and conse.
quently no such person can be voter.
The language OF the Constitution is as
follows: mo person in the Military,
Naval or Marine Service OF the United
States shall be deemed a resident Of this
State by rca'on Of being stationed there.

We prcsume that regular soldiers do
not gain residence in any Of the States,
and therefore do not vote in any Of them.
This is a matter, however, wholly depend
ing on the law Of each State.

a. ia name indicator, a local paper.

new dress ior her. At the invitation
Of Mrs. Duffy, we had a splendid supper.
Mrs. Huff is the editors wife.

to Mr.. Stephensons store, our needy
wants wcrO supplied. Also was over
there without collar. Mr.. Stephenson,
in complying with my askance. gave me
one collar, which put on. "Now," said
(, "Mr. Stephenson, what will you have
Tor the collar ?" alive cents" he replied,
"or you can have the whole box for
twenty cents" Thanked him very much,
and took but the one.
Some people may be induced to laugh
at this sort Of local in newspaper, but
read the following notice and see the
difficulties the poor news gatherer labors
under:

Politicians here are excited over n sen.
sstionul article in Cincinnati morning
paper, which states that "W. II. Roberts,
editor Of the New Orleans Times, while
here yesterday dined with Governor
Hayes, presented letters Of introduction
from Messrs. Mnrat Halstead, Stanley
Mathews, W. s. GroesbeCk and other
leading men, and spoke in behalf OF Wade
Hampton, Representative Lamar and
other Southern men; that after dinner
Roberts drew from Hayes an admission
tina. he had determined to cut loose from
Grant and Grantism and to free himself
absolutely from Southern carpet-bag-
gers"
SEARCHING FOR TRUTH.
A Herald representative spent the day
in trying TO get the straight Of this story,
and as lar "a can he learned from perfect
Trustworthy sources it is as follows:
Roberts, upon his arrival here, was in.
vited TO General Comley's residence to
dinner, where be met Governor Hayes,
and presented simple letters Of introduc.
ton from Mr.. HalsteRd and John Ste
venson. Roberts told his story about
the condition Of affairs in the Southern
States, particularly Louisiana and South
Carolina, and the intense desire Of the
people there 10 control their own affairs
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM CARPET
BA0GRRs.
II he didn't Just say it, lie intimated
that II they had this they cared compare
lively little as 10 whether Tilden or Hayes
becomes President.
RETICEScE OF GOV. HAYES:
Hayes, as usual, listened well but SAID
little.
HAYES said nothing by way oil lndors'
joy Roberts ideas about Southern Repnb'
licans, and neither Grant nor his admin
isra,ion was referred to during the en-
tire conference. Roberts did not Init"
mate that he desired Hayes to agree up
on any terms, by which, in case he Sc
cured 1855 electoral votes and was inaug
urated and Congress peacefully submitted
thereto, Hayes was to return the iayo'
by giving share Of patronage to South
ern liberal Democrats and conservatives
WHAT he DID SAY,
Hayes said, "a matters stood now, j
was manifestly improper for him to tall
about what his policy would be in cas-
he was declared elected. All he could o
would say now was that in case OF hi
election he would do his utmost to have
fair and honest administration, in which
full Justice should be done to all section
OF the country.
This is really all there was in this in
terview.
