NO REDUCTION.

MI 1t1GnRC1loNs
II looks as II tho reports OF reduction In tho
passenger rates to The East were great hoax,
Or, worse still, IN Immense swindic, engineered
by some one to bear tho stock market, and to
Influence tho forthcoming elections Of several
Chicago roals, on which certain persons have
longing eye. As Is welt known, MIR. William
II. Vanderbilt sailed for Europe short tino
ago, and 1t looked improbable In tic beginning
that bis arst act on Ills arrival In England
should be an order for a reduction in rates. Up
10 a lato hour last evon1ng no order either TO
make reduction in rates or TO- put on fnat
train had been received. DISPATCHES were aiso
sent to htr. Menker, General Passenger Agent
ofethe New York Central Raflrond, yesterday
inguirinR as 10 tho authenticity Of the reports,
and c telegrap11cd back that they wcso without
foundation ~ far ~ no knew, no orders having
been received By the managers of his road to
mako q reduction.
The fast.traln question, however, ts still tho
atl-absorbinE theine Of discussion in railway
circles, and NAY CAUSE rupture at any moment.
The managers Of tho Lake Shorg tE MichtGan
Southern aud the Michigan Central arc very
reluctant 10 coH,pete BY putting on faat trains,
fading that the regular ones give much moro
in New York carly in tho morning than at mid
night. Yet the fast train OF tho rittsburg q
Fort Wayne is q thorn #, their side. as many
pusscu9cts are Mtsael by tho announcement Ol
idstcr time BY the above road. and they will
have to do something to prutcct their interests.
Before engaging IN an open warfare, however,
the1n Will undoubtedly be m effort made by the
managers Of the various lines to cqualIzc tbs
conflicting interests, % q war on rates would Pc

STURGEON ON PERFECTToNIsTS.-He who
boasts Of being perfect is perfect in folly.
I have been a good deal up and down the
world, and I never did see either a perfect
horse, or a perfect man, and I never shall
until two Sundays come together.-You
cannot get white -four out Of a coal sack,
nor perfection out Of human nature; he
who looks for it had better look for sugar
in the sea. The old saying is, " Lifeless,
fauItless." Of dead men we should say
nothing but good, but as for the living,
they are all tarred, more or less, with the
black brush, and half an eye can see it.
Every head has a soft place in it, and
every heart has its black drop. Every
rose has its prickles, and every day its
night. Even the sun shows spots, and
the skies IRE darkened with clouds. No.
body is SO wise but he has folly enough
I could not see the FOOLS cap, I have,
nevertheless, heard the bells jingle. As
there is no sunshine without some shadow,
SO is all human good mixed up with moro
or less evil ; even poor law guardians have
their little faifiugs, and parish beadles
are not wholly of heavenly nature. The
best wine has lis lees. All mems faults
are not written on their foreheads, and it's
quite as well they are not, or hats would
need wider trims ; yet as sure as eggs ars
eggs, faults Of some kind nestle in every
mans bosom. There's no telling when a
mans sins may show themselves, for
hares pop out Of a ditch, just when you
are not looking tUl them. A horse that is
weak in the legs may not stumble for a
mile or two, but it's in him, and the rider
had better hold him up well. The tabby
cat is not tapping milk just now, but
leave the dairy door open, and we will see
if she is not as bad a thi.t as the kitten.
There's fire in the fiat, coo! as it looks;
wait till the steel gets a knock at it, ard
you will see. Every body can read that
riddle. but it is not every body that Will
remember to keep his guupowdrr out Of
the way Of the candie.-LeisAe Hour.

The Georgia new constitution has one
feature that even Northern newspapers
are forced to admit the virtue ot-the
divorce provision. There was strong
opinion in the convention against allow
ing divorces at all except for the Scrip
tural one of infdellty to the marriage
vow; but this stern feeling yielded in
favor OF the provision finally agreed upon,
which permits divorces when accorded
by two successive verdicts by different
iuries at different terms of court. The
action must be brought in the county
where the defendant lives unless he or
she lives outside the State, in which case
it is to be brought in the plaintiffs coun-
ty The effect of this difficult provision
will be 10 4discourage divorce suits, ex-
cept for good cause-and this is what the
convention intended. Georgia has never
been scsndslized by the easy divorce ar
rsngement that prevails in some North
ern States, and it is credltsble TO It's peo-
pie that so severe provision as this has
been Incorporated in their constitution.

The Bankers, convention.

NEW YORK, September 8.-The snnual
convention o. the American Bankers
Association, TO be held in this city next
week. is expected to be attended by
prominent bankers from sll paris of the
country. The convention will last three
days, and two sessions will be held dsilv
DR.. George Marsland; Assistant Secre-
tary of the Association, says the first
DAYS sessions after tho election of officers
and other necessary buslno,s would be
entirely devoted to the resumption OF
specie payments. The silver question
will be the chief subject of the Associa-
tion in the second days sessions. The
third day several topics will be consider
ed Municipal bonds will be thoroughly
discussed, with the purpose OF showing
the evils of the present excessive issues,
and suggesting measures TO sbste the
alarming increase of municipal debts, re-
garded by bankers as threatening the
public credit. The amount of municipal
bonds now afoat, Dr. Moreland said, Is
very nearly Sl,050,000,0OO, or one.half
rs much as the net National debt.
The annual interest on these bonds Is
nearly S5,5O0,000. The taxation OF
banks will also be discussed very fully.

THE BETTER DAYS.

The New York World of the 9TH inst.
SAYS that there has been most decided
Improvement in all the various branches
of trade is abundsntly proven by the
appearance in our thoroughfsres OF num-
berless drays and trucks heavily laden
with all kinds o. merchandise. Not
since the days before the panic Of 1873
has Broadway presented such q scene OF
hustle and activity as it does at present
during the business hours OF each day.
1t would seem as If the recent
DAYS of strikes and riot were the
"darkest hour in the commercial
history OF this country, and that they
had Immediately preceded the dawn of
"better days" All the signs of the
times indicate that the hopes INDUCED IN
bv the merchants of the lsnd-hopes
which have been deferred from season 10
season-sre about to be realized, and that
prosperity after slong absence has al last
"come to stay" Leading merchants
from all parts of the country tel the
same story of encouragement. The
opinion generally obtains that the fall
season of 1877 will be the most prosper
Gus since that OF 1872 We have abund
ant faith in the various prophecies for
good" that reach us from sll sections; we
believe that the recovery from stag,
