The merchants who have given the views of
the prospects of the FAN trade, which are set
forth elsewhere, do not make loose predictions
of a great revival in business, as some business
men have been apt to do in times past. They are
as rule moderate in their statements. and do
not announce much more than a fair increase in
trade; but the very carefulness Of their calcutta
tons viii impress everyone with feeling that
they are made after close study of the situation
and are not beyond the truth. In almost every
branch of trade there seems to be a well de-
fined confidence that prices have reached their
lowest point. and that the outlook for the
immediate future is favorable; and IN some,
there is actual citation over the present signs
of an taeellent season.

A PARTY of burglars. evidently pro-
fessionals, attempted to rob the First
National Bank at Greenport. L. l.. on
Friday night last. They gained an en-
trance to the building, and worked
some time at the vault door. They
used steel wedges, jamming the lock
badly. and also attempted to blow the
door open with powder. The ex-
plosion was heard by a gentleman liv-
ing opposite. who came down stairs to
investigate the cause, when the bur-
glars probably took the alarm and fled.
The door was iammed so badly that the
vault could not be opened by the
officers until the afternoon of the next
day.

an UNPARDONABLE OFFENsE.

Governor Bradley's hopes of re-
election are dissipAted. He has CON-
Elilted. what appears to the Virginia
Chronicle aud Eureka Sentinel /, to be an
Uapardonable offense. 1t is unfortu-
nate that the Governor sheuld be so
imprudent at this juncture, as to give
those Journals new cause for COM
plaiat. They were beginning to see
what every unprejudiced person in the
eouutry saw all the time, that Demo.
Cratic resolutions against third term
applied only to the Office of President,
and were apparently ut a loss what to
next urge against "Broadhorns" when

text tor opposing and abusing him.

enemies urge that he be defeated by

stead Republican. who did want the

vacancy existed, Democrat applied

agreed to appoint the Republican.
This is according to the Chronicle Is

appointment, under these circum-

"FoLLY OF THE Mosr EMPHATIC SORT"

THE TRIBUNE expressed It's honest opinion
yesterday ABOUT play at one OF the theatres of this
CITY, and the manager promptly discontinued his adj
vertsement in that Journal This is a folly OF the
most emphatic sort DO the managers Of the theatres
desire discrimination 10 be shown by the newspaper
crticsl III so the public will discover the fraud
and cease be influenced by the critics, that term
could then be used Thus the managers would be Left
at the mercy OF the few high-prced stars F" whose
merits ar we'll known, and the list Of plays would
be confined 10 those OF which toe public has already
approved We should back 60 the time when there,
were no newspapers and news spread from mouth 10
mouth True, this might eventually answer the pur-
pose ~ the theatre managers aud the merits Of good
play might become pretty generally known but IN the
meantime imagine that the manager would often sigh
for little newspaper help while looking over his cash ae
count Nothing is clearer than tGat the impartial
dramatic critic the friend OF the theatre manager for
when the deserves well Of the public, the news
papers send the public 70 his theatre and make lis
fortune tor him. II the entertainment provided Is bad,
does the manager OF theatre suppose that he can
change the opinion Of the newspaper by removing his
business card The TRIBUNE invites the managers
who are IN doubt 10 try the experiment and see.
