SENsIBLE.-A circular letter from
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the
u. S. Treasury, informs us that an
act of Congress, approved June 20,
1873, provides that all government
advertising may be paid for at com
mercial rates. This is the only
sensible course to take as, under the
old prescribed rates, many of the Pa,
cific coast journals refused to do any
advertising.

Mr.. G. II. Lawrence. OF this city who is now
In Boston. has obligngly sent US a copy OF the
third annual statement Of the Boston Fish Blu
reau. From this we learn that the past year.
though not proving profitable to the producer
as tho average. has BEEN free from disas-
ters and loss OF life-no severe gales or storms
having occurred. Among the interesting fea-
lures OF the above report are the statement that
nearly one-half a million OF boxes herring
have been received of which los. 600 boxes were
shipped to foreign ports and that scale fish of
all kinds have been In large receipts. and have
been mostly shipped to foreign ports. Boneless
fish have been in good demand. and are con-
stantly becoming more popular. but are now
generally manufactured by dealers themselves.
Salmon has proved an exception to most fish,
In having been plenty and oh rap all the season
both fresh and picked.
With regard to mackerel, the report says the
Massachusetts catch fell of from $4,000 barrels
In 1876 to 1o5o1s barrels In 1871 In addition to
the short catch the fish were Of inferior quality
and met with little demand. The trade has
been amply supplied with importations from
the provinces, the same being $3.50 barrels In
1877. against 41,4s4 barrels in 1876. making az
improbable year for our fishermen. The catch
OF Goldfish has also been light.

MIss0urians Warlike.

According to the st. Louis Times. of the 22d
inst. the decision Of the United States Supreme
Court. declaring the Texas cattle law unconst-
tutional. Is received with anything but good
grace in those sections of Missouri where the
necessity OF such a law is most felt: and unless
some Legislative remedy Is soon applied against
which no constitutional objection can be urged.
there Is likely to be serious trouble. The con-
dition Of public feeling on the subject Is proba-
bly, not much exaggerated in the following from
the Vernon County Democrat:
Well, II the law cannot protect us. shotguns
can: That IS strong language and we stand
against mob violence. But as sure as the earth
revolves. IL men seek to take advantage of oul
helpiessness under the law and drive diseased
our people. there'll be music In the air. We ad

Municipal Indebtedness.

At the recent session OF the American Social
Science Congress, held in Boston. Mr. R. P Por-
ter presented valuable and interesting paper
on municipal debts. from which we learn that
the debt of $50 cities Of the United States is
more than ss44 900, 600. and that there has been
an increase OF that debt during the last ten
years of $42o, 100000. He estimates that the en-
tire municipal Indebtedness OF the United
States Is not less than 81 900 900 ooo or half the
national debt. His conclusion is that:'
This all tends to prove the fact that when wa
add to these municipal impositons the burden
OF national and State taxation. the residents OF
cities are consuming their capital. and that
within short period OF time such course

GENERAL ENTHUSIASTICALLY the Cotton
market has been what can be denominated
sick; :" whether this can be ascribed to large
receipts or the uncertain condition OF Euro
pean affairs. we leave the reader to determi ne.
The assortment of Cotton offered for sale yes
terday was. a general thing. poor. and the
sales reached only e4oo bales. DuringEthe whole
day there was a weak feeling. and n decline Of
NC on all grades below Low Ordinary was gem
orally acknowledged.
The sales Of Flour to- day did not quite reach
1000 bbls. which. for the time Of the year is a
very poor showing for this market. Notwith-
standing this fact. the market can be described
as being quiet and steady.
In Pork there was good demand for mess
but few buyers seem disposed to purchase more
than Job lots. The market was steady through
out the day, and closed stronger at $40 per Dbl
| at Wholesale: but dealers continue to Job at
s12 5ot012 10 per Dbl.
There was a good demand for low grades Of
Sugar. and the market is strong. Receipts. 1881
