Northern States only,

The Tribune says that at first glance the
above appears to be- discouraging state
ment Of the conditions under which the
business Of the country is carried on.
Never before in the history Of American
commercial life were there 7,74O failures
in one year. In the dark days OF 1857
there we're only 4,9so. In 1861, when the
war disarrauged everything, there were
only 6,9O3. The statement certainly
looks bad. But to any one capable ot
turning the eye away from the storm just
past and the clouds still lingering over
head, to the Frightening horizon, tho
figures are suggestive and .fpll Of hope.
They should be studied in conjunction
with other figures and facts. :
Commenting on them the Tribune goes
onto make the following remarks:
at isa fact familiar to every CONNER
cial observer, that tho fury OF panic is
directed first at the large banks, business
houses, and manuiactories. The year at-
ter its occurrepce, and the year following
that, the smaller houses feel the pressure
Of the times, and such as are too deeply in
debt begin togo down. The annual mum.
her Of failures continues very large, but
the average liabilities are very much
smaller, The reaction reaches the labor
Ing clauses last Of all. Looking at the
record above, the truth is seen to be illus
ttated. The failures in 1851 were 1882;
in the next year, ,225., the year after the
still large number Of 3,9lS. But the ay.
erage liabilities, which in 1857 were S59,-
900, were in 1858 only $4,000, and In
1859 only $1,000. The same principle
is visible in the averages fer 1851 and the
two following years, which we're in 1851,
$4,000; in 1862 and 1868, $4,000.
The reaction Of 1861 did not pro.
duce in natural fruit in sustained
number ot failures for aycas or two fol-
lowing, for the reason that an extraordi-
nary cause lnterposed, the war, with lis
vast increase OF the currency and enor-
mouS expenditures Of money. by the ma
Non, and every State, county, city, and
town. But eliminating the effect produc.
cd BY imitation and an abundance Of active
capital, the natural tendency Of business
reaction is seen in the figures given fol
she three years last cited. Now take the
i%! three years. In 1873, the number o.
failures was 6,lsS; in 1874, It was more
namely, $3.50; In 1875, more still, 7,740
but now see the averages. In 1873, thu
average liabilities were $4,000; in 1874
Sz0iVVOiin 1875, $4,000. In other words

SOUTH CAROLINA GERRYMANDERs.
The House Committee on Elections to-
day heard an argument in support OF the
resolution that the Third Congressional
District OF South Carolina is not legally
entitled 10 representation, because 1t Is
not wholly constituted OF contiguous ter
ritory. One Of the seven counties Of
which it Is composed does not touch any
OF the remaining six. No argument was
submitted on behalf Of Mr. Hoge; the sit
ting member. 1t was suggested that the
question raised bears upon the validity Of
the claims OF all the other South Carolina
Representatives, as it would appear that
the State has not been properly districted,
and the present Legislature will have to
redistrict it, and order new elections.
The Committee on Elections subse-
ouently examined the map Of South

WHAT CAN BE SEEN THIS EVENING
Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction
this (Monday) evening, and the two plan
ents will present nearly the same appar-
ent position as Mars and Saturn did in
November. They will, however, be near
er the horizon, and consequently form a
less conspicuous picture than that which
two months since made Mars and Saturn
"the observed OF all observers" As ye:
nus sets about GAS, the sight will be visi'
BILE carly in the evening. The next note
worthy incident will occur on tho 2Sth
The planet Mercury is then in favora-
bic position for observation. 1t must be
looked for in the southwestabout an hour
after sunset, and little farther north
than the point where the sun sank below
the horizon. It way be recognized by .
peculiar brilliancy, unlikc.that OF any 9TH
or planet, and also by its nearness to Sa-
turn, with which il is in conjunction on
the same evening. At this time the four
planets, Mercury, venhs, Saturn and
Mars are all visible. The new moon OF
the 9Gth is also near Venus on this same
evening, and the slender crescent will add
an additional attraction to the planetary
picture. The path OF the new moon lies
this month near the track OF the plan
cts, for it is in conjunction, or at the near
eat point, with Mercury and Saturn on
the eth, with Venus on the 10Th and
with Mars on the S1st. Ofihe remaining
larger planets Uranus is now in good
position, and may be seen in the evening
with small telescope vending its slow
way among the small stars Of Leo, and not
very far from Regulus. Neptune is also
visible among the evening stars, but can
not be seen without powerful telescope

A BELL1aERENr REILLY FROM SPAIN.
New York, January 16.-The Heralds
Madrid special reports that the Spanish
government has sent out Diplomatic
note in reply to the American circular on
Cuban affairs. The reply is quite bellige.
rent in tone and takes high ground on all
the questions raised by the United States.
The note declares that the commerce be.
tween Cnba and the United States has not
suffered to any precepible extent by the
insurrection. Instead OF having been di.
minished it has in reality increased, and
is constantly increasing. So the United
States Government had no occasion Tor
complaint, and no tenable ground for its
proposed action or interference In the at-
fairs or troubles existing in Cuba. Atten-
tion is also called to the fact that many
American citizens have established them
selves in business on the Island aud being
unmolested by the Spanish Government
have gained large individual fortunes.
These fortunes have not added to the ma
terial wealth Of the Island, being entirely
in foreign hands. The territory Of the
United States is constant refuge for Gu
ban outlaws, who are permitted TO. hatch
conspiracy to the detriment and injury of
the Spanish Government. In this the laws
Of Nations are outraged. All inst and
equitable claims between the United States
and Cuba have been amicably and fully
satisfied or are in the courts Of adjust.
ment, therefore there can be no cause for
complaint on that score. The Spanish
note is believed to be the work Of Senor
Jovellar.
