Republican Plans.

IL seems to be u plan OF Morton and
Chandler, who are the real leaders of
the party, TO have the difficulty extend
over the 4th of Llarch, so that Grant
may remain in the White House. To
this end the Senate committees, which
are to go South, announce that they
will not return until after the first
week in February.

THE balance Of trade for the last cal
endar year, reckoning exports and I'M
ports in gold and including specie, is
found to be in our favor TO the amount
Of S65,2O0,OO0. That is to say, we have
exported this much more than we have
imported. This is little more than the
net expectation Of specie, SO that our
specie has gone abroad not to settle a
commercial balance, strictly speaking,
but probably to pay interest on our for
cign.heId obligations. Our net exporta-
lions of specie for some years have not
risen to our annual production. The
balance OF trade OF 1874 was almost pre-
cisely the same and on the same side.
Imports and exports both continue to
show great reductions, in money value;
bnt by no means an equal reduction in
bulk OF merchandise. So great indeed
has been the decline Of price both at home
and abroad that we are, to-day, buying
and selling vastly more for the same
amount OF money than five years ago.
Perhaps the bull Of our foreign trade is
now as great MS in 1872, when the money
value of our imports was 20 per cent
more than now. 1t has fallen of in iron
wares and some goods in which native
competition is the most active, but in
groceries and other lines 1t has increased

five years the imports Of merchandise, the
exports Of merchandise and the net ex-

foreshadow hard times in their vicinity,
by reason Of the fact that their creditors
will DO compelled to pay their indebted
ness within..si six months, to do which will
cause many ofthem trouble. Mr.. Deihl'was
forced to this action by the course Of q
number of his creditors who refused 10
enter into the compromise with him that
others did, namely, to pay fifty cents on
the dollar OF his personal debts, and sew
enty cents Of F. Delhi & Co.'s debts. In.
stead Of doing this they issued executions
and levied on his goods and advertised
them for sale. To place all his creditors
on an equal footing, he ut once conclud'
ed upon bankruptcy. Mr.. Delhi com.
plains Of the action Of many Of his credi-
tors in entering into the agreement only
for the purpose Of gaining time to make
their claims in another way.
