acted at range of prices considerably lower
than those of 1875, and in very many articles
lower than those of 1850. The great iron
business is starting up again, large proper
ton of the mills working double time, LOW
ont of n total of 1859 of which The Iron age
has received reports. Yet the prices obtained
for products are much below those OF last
year. All these facts point to one general
conclusion. The day of speculation and high
prices is over; business is confining Itself 10
legitimate channels and slowly adjusting itself
to lower figures, and the amount OF currency
required in use is likely to decrease rather
than to increase. With this general cause

that gold is likely to fall as steps are taken
for the restoration of specie payments. Hence
it may be expected that the surrender or cir

siderable reserve for the whole country, should
not be unprcpared for an emergency

frnd. but the Federal patronage had Deen
babitually and VIGOROUSLY employed TO con-
troll State elections. Shepherd had not swollen
into his offensive proportions as the prime
Presidential favorite and counselor at WASH
ington, but Murphy, as the Presidents BOSOM
companion, controlled the Republican machine
IN New-York. Joyce and Mcdonald had not
been convicted but the "yOung man Lee1
tbc messmate of BabcOck and Porter, ana
holding positions both In the army ana III the
War DEPARTMENT, had intrenched himself SO
securely behind his robberies in this port that
he repulsed cone Congressional investigation
and made his own terms with the second.
The truth is that after Gen. Grant discovered,
some five or six years ago, that he ehJoyea
being President and signified to his party 'l"I
he would credit them with one term as part
nav for services rendered, and demanded some
more Presidency con account" and after the
people agreed to honor all his drafts upon their
gratitude. we had only to look for Slkeses
where we had seen Cmmers and Buffers.
There is little comfort in raking over the
history of this uDsavOry era, but 1t ought not
70 be forgotten that the most sweeping con-
demnation of Gen. Grants second term is pro-
nounced by saying that it has proved in method
and result an exact reproduction OF his ilrst
term. Several favOrito sons and stanch sup
porters of "the party" might Ike named who

enforcement of lOw-bred incOnpetents.

IN ADMIRABLE Project

A large number of gentlemen of this city,
in order to add to the attractiveness of New
York during the Centennial Summer, have in
tcrested themselves in getting up an exhibition
of the private art treasures of our citizens.
They have sent circular to the principal pos
SCISSORS of valuable pictures and other works of
art, which has been freely responded to, and
we learn that a meeting is soon to be called to
put the project In execution. The design Ia
to procure the buildings of the Academy Of
Design and of the Metropolitan Art Museum
for the purposes of the exhibition, and to
allow the proceeds which may arise from Il
small charge for admission to go to the benefit
of these excellent institutions.
This plan strikes US as in every way COM

mendable; If carried out 1t will greatly en-
bance the pleasures of visit to New. YORK
during the Summer; it will enable both our
residents and our visitors to enjoy treat III the
way of masterpieces of modern art, that has
never been surpassed and that is not likely
soon to be renewed; and it will aid essentially
in the establishment and progress OF TWO Oh
our most useful public organizations.
We have no doubt that our citizens VINO
may be called upon to assist in the further
ance of this most patriotic and beneficent under
taking will cheerfully lend their aid. We know
how many of them have been tormented by
applications of the kind, and how naturally
they might be at first disposed to refuse their
cooper ton but the occasion now Is excep-
tional it concerns our own and not distant
cities, and it will be, we are assured, bril-
liant success.

The Rev. DR.. Newman, in his circuit OF the
globe IA inspector of cOnsuates, discovered
very few cities where this country was so
crcditably represented it was by Mr..
Lorimer Graham in Florence. The dly after
Mr.. Graham's death il announced by cable, the
erudtc and accomplished Writ Skies, who
seems to have been provldentally around and
ready to respond to the call Of duty and of his
country, il selected by Gen. Grant to get some
where inside Of the vacancy and try to fill as
much of it as he can. We regret TO see that
some orthodox Republican organs are
dissatisfied with the Presidents preciptatc
selection. -Four years ago these gentlemen
saw nothing to criticise in the constitution of
our diplomatic service, and The TRIBUNE was
denounced as malignant for uttcring the same
regrets and warnings which public sentiment
has mt length driven them to express. The
men who elected Gen. Grant in 1872 do not
need to ne reminded that Sumner had already
been removed from the Committee on Foreign
Relations and Cameron placed at it, head to
CRAFTY the wishes of the President that Mot
lev had been removed and Siclllcs sent to
Spain; that Cramer had been displaying his
correspondence mt the dinncr-tablcs of COpen-
hagen; that Charles Hale had been recalled
from Alexandria, and the nephew of his uncle
had been disportng himself in Egypt before
the gaze OF astonshed Christendom.
There is something farcical in the manifesto
tons of horror which the late explosions have
excited. There has been no thunder from a
cloudlcss sky. No recent disgrace has attached
to our civil. diplomatic, or detective service
Gor we must enumerate the last as an integral
part of our governmental machinery which
was not paralleled in degree and quality during
the first term of Gen. Grants administration.
Babcock had not been indicted for burglary

Secretary Fish's letter to the Charge DAT
fares at London respecting the Winslow eT-
tradition case, sets forth clearly the position
of our Government Simply TO abide by the
provisions of the treaty was all that the
United States claimed in Winslow's case
The treaty does not provide that Grim
inaIs given up under it shall not be
tried on any other Offense than the one which
causes their extradition. Nor has it been Gus
tomary either mere or in England to place any
such restriction upon the trial of the prisoner.
All that there is to that view of the subject at
all binding, is an understanding that the ex-
tradition shall be in good faith for some
crime and not a mere pretext to bring back
criminal. Winslow, being a fugitive from
Justice. if returned to this country, could he
tried for any crime. Finally. the United States
cannot consent that Great Britain should name
a course of procedure not agreed upon In the
treaty.
