IT would be as unjust to guage the
industries Of the whole North, and the
condition of it's laboring population, in
the matter OF wages and the comforts Of
life. by the actual facts Of the anthracite
coal region, ss it is to judge the South
by the exceptional labor troubles in
Northern Louisiana and some counties
Of Mississippi. We doubt If the negroes
Of Louisiana have undergone the last
three years the hardships because Of
low wages, uncertain employment, and
the "store order system" that the an.
thIacite coal miners OF Pennsylvania
have faced. The Kansas emigration,
large a. IL is, bears a small proportion
indeed to the army Of tramps set anoat
by the condition OF the labor market Of
this State, to say nothing OF other North.

have pretty conclusive evidence in the

South has done an important part in
creating that balance OF trade which has
brought about specie resumption. The

amounted to nearly FIVE millions OF bales
and the expectation of cotton 10 foreign
countries. to nearly two hundred mil

our favor. This one fact Is sufficient
answer to the partizan contention Of the
Republicans, that the Southern laborers
are ill.treated as rule and the who.e
section in n constant state Of political
turmoil and lawlessness. Such an in.

conditions. This with sensible business

A QUEER ProSEER.-A fellow
traveller was a dapper young man,
dressed in the latest style, with white
tie and lavender kids. Now he would
brush his immaculate stove pipe hat
and now adjust his eyeglasses to scan
some newcomer. His incipient nous
tache seemed TO be a source of con.
slant care but he divided his attention
between this and a couple of hounds,
his travelling companions. On either
side Of the aisle hung his two canaries
in seperatc cages and on a brilliant
rug slept a Spitz dog. As learned du-
ring the forenoon, be had come from
Chicago and was going to Leadvillc,
and proposed 20 rent a few rooms in
some first-class hotel and in the after
noon go out and prospect n little. In
this way he expected TO realize a for
tune within six months. Just now he
is picking his way dainty across the
muddy street, with cage in each hand
and the dogs at his heels.

NEW HAMPsHIRE Is having a rather
singular experience in regard to taxa
ton. The ia-t Legislature passed
law providing that schedules should be
furnished citizens, which they must fill
up with inventories Of their property
and swear 10, a. the basis on which taxes
are 10 be assessed The old system left
the rating to the assessors, and the new
law was at first very unpopular Pret-
ty much everybody seemed to be down
on il, and no doubt was felt that the
next Legislature would repeal it. But
nov that they are beginning 10 enforce
it, people find that the new plan works
a great deal better than they expected.
The most striking result is the great
increase in taxable property reported,
which, in some towns, reaches $780,
600; over four times as much money
is returned as being at interest in the
towns thus far heard from a last year.
OF course, this increase in the amount
Of property liable TO taxation renders
it possible correspondingly TO reduce
the percentage of taxation and the net
result promises TO be so much more
advantageous TO the average tax x-payer
that public sentiment is fast shifting TO
approval of the new law and there is
little probability of its repeal.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, y. G., Nov, 10, 1871

WASHINGTON, y. G., Nov. 10, 1879,
The decision ofthe United States Supreme
Court 10 the effect that all legislation by
congress touching the registration Of trade
marks is unconstitutional, will have sweep
ing effect, and must cause revolution in
this branch Of the patent business, while it
will take trade marks out of the list of pat
cntable objects, however it will not necessar-
lily destroy trade marks themselves, for the
property will be protected by the common
law, The point to which would call special
attention in this decision is that which IS
implied rather than expressed. II is csti-
mated that the government has received
from the proprietors Of trade marks within
the last few years about $4,000 annually
for trade mark patents, and the grave ques
ton arises whether under this decision this
money must not be refunded, since it was
paid for that which proved to be worthless,
namely, protection by patent. have the
opinion Of eminent lawyers that this money
can be recovered by suits in the court of
claims, and If this is the case, the govern
mcnt will probably refund it without the
expense Of legislation. The decision will
mark change in trade marks probably,
and set the inventive Legislators to work for
thc discovery Of some means of special pro-
techon in these privileges, without depend
ny upon the slow and dubious processes
under the common law
Tie excitement still continues relative
u the alleged purpose of the Greenback-
Democratic state officers in Maine to count
ont enough Republican members to make
the legislature of that state anti Republican,
ss the returns showed that the Republicans
elected 80 majority on joint ballot, this
would be pretty big job, and l begin TO
suspect that the threatened charge is only
big scarce to obtain some concession from
the Republicans The Governor and coun-
Gil, We learn, propose to take several days
to think over and mature their "plsns, 'and
meanwhile The excitement will remain at
fever heat.
The latest reports about General Grant
are TO the effect that letter is on the way
from European capitalists offering him the
Presidency and control Of the Panama and
Nicaragua Canal Company, and that when
the General arrives in Washington IN De
cember, he will perfect arrangements for
setting that great enterprise in motion. The
President and his cabinet will help the
project by every means at their command.

There is an abundant supply of cur.

undoubted security to get dead loads

that money is now the cheapest
thing in the market. Mercantile pa
per may be readily discounted at 6 to
8 per cent, and choice collaterals will
secure loans at even lower figures.
