Letter From Boston.
Boston, March 2, 1873

BOSTON, Marcn Z, 1915.
Mr.. EDITOR: The first topic of in
terest when friends meet, is the wealth
er, and it has been beautiful here of
late. The sun is coming back to us,
and is bringing renewed warmth and
life into our hearts and homes. Hail !!
coming Spring. Beg pardon am not
going to drop into poetry, but it is i'm
possible not to feel its influence though
we know there is a prospect of storm
and cold in clustering March.
Though business is not exactly in the
condition of New York, where it is said
the groans of the business men can be
heard on still night for several miles
out at sea, yet it is fairly represented
by an average creditors meeting, which
may be briefly summarized thus: You
are respectfully requested to meet at a
lawyers office, and being formally Or
ganized, statement of affairs is called
for. Liabilities, say 100000, of which
$4,000 is secured; personal debts,
$4,000, stock on hand sos, ZOO, &C
counts, good $4,000; bad $4,000. An
offer of Is or 90 per cent. is made, and
though some gentleman with a preju-
dice in favor of honest dealing makes
objections, is is this OF nothing, and the
offer is accepted, in season to adjourn
to another meeting; one called for con-
venience an hour or so late.
This picture may be somewhat over
drawn, but confidence seems to be lost.
and until this can be in a measure re-
stored, there can be no general pros
perity.
The long agony is over, and Boston
has new Collector. The question has
excited deep and more than usually
widespread interest. 1t is in order
then to consider the battle and its re-
suits. Mr.. Simmons was a proteqe of
Gen. Butler, and was confirmed by the
Senate after the most exciting and Der
sistent campaign of that redoubtable
warrior, at the head of the best ap-
pointed army of lobbyists that ever in
tested Washington. The opposition
was quite as determined, and it was
only after his chief had proved what
many shrewd observers had long more
than suspected, that his influence with
the last administration was greater than
that of all the rest of the Massachusetts
delegation combined, that the requisite
number of Senators could be secured
to vote for Mr.. Simmons confirmation,
The gentleman was an ardent politician,
active, and a good organizer, and it was
no doubt through his prospective influ-
ence that the "widder" hoped to secure
even higher political honOrs than this
State has yet seen fit to bestow upon
him. He has made thorough and eff
Gent officer; he promised on the change
of administration to carry out faithfully
the civil service reforms of President
Hayes and no one disputes that he
has kept his word. Now if one could
disabuse himself of his opinions as to
Mr.. Simmons antecedents; if he could
