numbers" We are told, with re-
gard to the first of these, as sum-
married by the Boston Journal Of
Commerce, the feeling in its favor
is so strong aud widespread that it
will undoubtedly culminate in a
trade meeting at the exchange, in
which some concerted action will
be taken. AS to the practice Of
dating ahead, the Journal goes on
to say: "Some large houses ayow
their intention of refusing to sub
NIT to it the coming season, even
if their refusal necessitates giving
up business. Some of the largest
losses during the past two or three
months have been incurred on ac-
count of bills dated ahead, which
have enabled some Western or
Southern jobber to be in debt at
one time for goods of two seasons"

THE COMING FIG Ut.

Tue Democratic party that res
deemed the South FROM Radical miss
rule, will be terribly assaulted the
coming fall by the Republicans max
ing desperate efforts to carry the
Lower House of the next Congress.
The Senate is already lost to them, a
beat in the Lower House means Its
orally the entire destruction of the
party as a political power in the
land. In carrying out these plans il
is stated in late Washington dis
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial,
a Republican paper, that "the Re
publican Congressional Campaign
Committee intend to make a thor
ough canvass OF ten or htteen dis
uicts of the Southern States which
are undoubtedly Republican, bat
have been for the last few years al
lowed to go by default. Northern
men of prominence will be sent into
those districts to speak, and money
will be used to bring out voters and
to employ men to watch the polls to
prevent ballot box stulliug and the
counting out process"
