The failure Of Messrs. jay Cooke e Co.
was the beginning of n long series of
financial disasters, but it is satisfactory to
know that the creditors of the firm will,
in short time, be paid off dollar for

the year 1873. Such Il settlement is
highly honorable TO the firm, and to all
concerned.

daughters. Two sons and two daughters
survive.
Within the past several weeks groceries
and provisions of all grades have taken a
decidedly upward tendency. Teas have
advanced from five to ten cents per pound
coffees from three to five cents; sugars
from two to three cents; syrups from five
to eight cents per gallon. Despite these
higher prices, dealers report an increased
demand, which is attributed to the general
revival of the industries of the land.
Moreover the farmers are procuring more
for their produce and are laying out their
money more lavishly than heretofore.
Canned goods arc also on the rise, owing
probably 10 the large demand for this class
of goods in the west,

The national association of wool manu-
facturers held its annual meeting AT
Philadelphia on the 1th inst. The report
of the secretary, John L. Hayes, LII. D.,
embodies great amount Of useful infor-
nation in regard to tho progress of the
wool industry since 1860, when, according
to the census returns, the product of the
country was f0,0O0,OOO pounds. The
report states that through the protective
influences of the war and the Morrill,
tariff, the production in 1867 reached
147, 000,0 900 pounds, and in 1877 1t reached
20S.700,000 pounds. A remarkable fact
in connection with the subject is, that the
product of 1867 was from 100000 sheep,
while the increased product of 1877 was
from 100000 sheep, the substitution OF
superior breeds and II more advanced hus.
bandry being the cause of the greatly
increased average yield of fleece. In
illustration of what u jldicious outlay of
capital will do, combined with care aud
attention. the report states thai although
Texas had no sheep whose fieeces were of
any value previous to the war, since that
period the original Mexican stock has been
greatly ameliorated by the introduction OF
better breeds, and at present her flocks
number 100000 head, and the wool
product exceeds $4,000 900 pounds a year,
much of which is of good quality as that
produced in the northern states,

The rise in prices during the present
year has not been unobserved by those
who were buyers, nor have sellers been
ignorant of what was going on. But it is
only when the figures for the beginning
of January and the present time are
contrasted that tie full extent of the
improvement can be perceived. The New
York Commercial Bulletin publishes q
table showing the quotations Of some rs
leading staples for the first day of the
year and the 18th of October, which it
appears that the average advance on these
articles is not far from 80 per cent. The
largest stride has been made by iron, pig
having gone up 20 per cent, and other
descriptions nearly as much; while the
most improvement has taken place in the
articles of domestic production. Wheat
has risen from Sl.09 to $l48; Indian corn
from AZ to co; pork from S7.15 to Sl020
cheese from l-2 TO IS; wool from 81 to
AZ; pig iron from Sl753 to $1,000 and
other things proportionately.

Details of the battle between the Peru
Wan iron clad uuascar-the strongest ship
of war owned by Peru-and the Gillian
ron-cla1s Cochrane aad Blanco, on the
Sth of October show it to have been the
bloodicst sea fight of modern times. 1t
was fought not only with the heavy ord
nance of our times hut with musketry and
Calling guns. The Huascar fought the
Cochrnne for an hour and II half, when
the other Gillian iron-clad arrived on the
scene and Immediately opened fire, di
ecting her attention to the Huascar' S
lighting turret and the little tower near
the smoke stack, which was the battle
station of her commander, Admiral Gran.
The Blanco's guns were well served and
their effect WAS terrible. The tower was
carried away and Admiral Gran taken
below with one of his legs torn Off. While
in the cabin solid 30O-pound shot from
the Blanco struck the Huascar in the
stern, destroying the steering gear, and
passing directly through the ship left a
gaping aperture large enough for Il boat
to enter. This shot killed the brave ad-
miral, his aide, Lieutenant Ferre. and sew
eral others. The Huascar was now I'M
manageable, and from the proximity OF
the enemy it was impossible TO even fit ur
temporary steering apparatus, rs their
musketry and nitrailleuses literally swept
the deck. Captain Elias Aguirre assumed
command of the ship on the death OF the
admiral and took his station in the gun
turret. The turret was hit by heavy
she'll. which. passing through n port. ex-
ploded inside, disabling one of the two
guns and killing Aguirre and all who
were serving on the piece. Three of the
| five commanders who succeeded each
other were killed and another badly
wounded. The guns Of the vessel were
| fired as long rs it was possible to man
them, and no one thought of surrender.
A boarding party of Chilians were driven
back by the brave survivors, but second
was successful, and the flag of the Huascar
was lowered by the enemy. She was dis
abled beyond repair in the fight, all but sc
of her PIG men were killed and the others
were most of them wounded. The Gillian
vessels were more heavily armored than
the Peruvian, and received little damage
and reported very few casualties.

The result in New York is very satisfac-

There is n good deal of excitement in
Maine over the story that the governor
and council are likely to give certificates
of election 20 majority of democratic
candidates for the Senate and House. They
have some weeks in which to determine
the matter. 1t is understood that the law
requires them to give certificates to per.
sons who appear to be elected from the
face Of the returns and we do not antici
pate Gov. Garcelon and his associates will
do other than to follow the law. The
danger is that returns may be cast out fol
technical reasons and that due opportunity
will not be given for the correction of sucl
returns. Such course if followed in New
York city would have deprived tho demo
cras of 10000 votes.

President AngeN of A'an Arbor (Mich J
University
Secretary Thompson has rendered an
account for the last fiscal year and returns
to the treasury S1,7O0,0Oo as an unexpend-
ed balance of the appropriation for the
navy department. This is an extraordinary
circumstance, and better understood when
it is stated that the entire appropriation
was only little over 100000. Such an
occurrence has not been heard of before
in the history Of the government for
twenty years. Congress never met with
out receiving an application for appropri-
ations to cover n deficiency in the naval
expenses. The secretary is receiving the
congratulations of his fellow members in
the cabinet and others, on account of his
economical management.
California fatters herself that she has al
last fixed things so as to prevent her legis
lature being bothered by that disreputable
annex known rs 1.-The third house" One
of the articles of the stale constitution
provides that ANY person who seeks tc
influence the vote of II member of the leg
islature by bribery, promise of reward,
intimidation or any other dishonest means
shall be guilty of lobbying, which is here
by declared felony, and it shall be the
duty of the legislature to provide by law
for the punishment of this crime" 1t is
further provided in the same instrument
that any legislator who shall be SO intlu-
enced shall likewise he guilty of felony
and on conviction thereof, in addition tc
the punishment prescribed. shall be dis
franchised and forever disqualified from
holding office.
HONESTY AND EFFICIENCY OF OH
POSTAL SERvICE.-The statement prepar
ed for the postmaster general exhibits ,
remarkably small percentage of loss t.
the government in the amount of money
received by postmasters throughout the
country during the two years ended June
So 1879. The receipts at the postoffice
amounted TO $57,0OO000. The aggregate
paid into the hands of postmasters fol-
meney orders was $l5S, 000,0O0. All the
money thus received is accounted for to
the department except three thousand dol.
lars now given up as "bad debts" and
ninetysix thousand dollars now in suit
against postmastsrs and their bondsmen
OF the latter amount it is estimated thai
finally half will be collected; but assuming
the entire amount to be uncolectabe, the
total loss to the government during the
Two years will be less than one-twentiett
of one per cent.
