Consular Reports from Austria and

switzerland.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Mr. Williams, u S.
Consul at Sydney, New South Wales,in his an
nual report of the trade of that district, repre-
sents the people of the colony as progressive
and prosperous. With population of 100000
the sale of public lands during the year
amounted to $4,000, 600. All branches of trade
show an increase. The great international ex-
hibition opened on the 18th September. Ameri-
can exhibits consisted of agricultural imple-
ments, tobacco, machinery, Kerosene, cotton
goods, pianos. Many intended exhibits from
the United States had not arrived, and will
probably be too late. The exhibits are numer-
GUS and beautiful. Great Britain aud her col
onies exceed all the rest. Among the articles
displayed from the United States is sect on OF
all iron bridge. The general result of the ex-
hibition must be favorable to our country to
some extent.
Mr.. Adams, Consul at Geneva, Switzerland,
reports that Switzerland begins to feel the in
fuence of returning prosperity in the United
States. 1t is welcomed as meaning better
times for Switzerland. The exports to the
United States bad fallen from about five mil
lions of francs in 1871 to a little more than one
million in 1878, when the turning point seems
to have been reached. The second and third
quarter of 1879 show decided increased. The
importation of preserved meats and anthracite
coal from the United States began only year
or two since, and seems to be profitable. Pre-
served meats are very generally used and sold
in Geneva. 1t is doubtful whether American
the price should advance at home.
Report of the Chief of the Bureau of Nav
igation.
The Chief of the Bureau of Navigation in
his annual report recommends the Depart

lantic and another in the Pacific Ocean. The
Wachusett has been ordered to run a line OF
deep sea soundings on her way from Boston
to the coast of Brazil, and to examine some re.
ported dangers

lie printer be elected by both Houses of Con-
gress will be pushed through as soon the
season begins. The patronage OF the office is
million and half annually.

SOUTHERN mxAYCIAL DISHONESTY.

SOUTHERN FINANClIL DINHONESIl.
Dishonesty in financial matters has become
chef obstacle to the influence of the South
ern States in public affairs. Wade Hampton,
and other Southern leaders, perceive this fact,
and believe that this obstacle is more potent
than any other. The North, they say, with
its enormous financial and industrial interests
is easily reused to resist any party in which
the South appears to have great influence,
because the treatment OF public creditors by
Southern States and cities, and the course of
Southern men on the questions of National
finance have produced a conviction that the
public debt would be repudiated by any
party governed by Southern sentiment.
These men are not in error. Profound dis
trust of Southern influence, in all matters
which affect the National finances, has certainly
been potent i'll arrestinG the progress OF the
Democratic party, and it has been caused, not
at all by false stories of carpet-baggers," or
the clamor of partisans, but by the conduct of
the Southern people themselves. If any State
OF city at the South has debt, that debt is
due III part to Northern lenders. On the face
of things, perhaps, the lenders are few in num-
Der. But among them are few corporations !;
banks or savings banks, insurance or trust
companies Each of these has It's host of
owners, depositors or creditors, men, women
and children scattered all over the North
ern States. Nearly 100000 persons are
directly interested in every loan made by a
single insurance company. Every reputation
OF a Southern debt, every act of dishonesty
OF bad faith in connection with such debt
becomes known TO the thousands who are in
terested in each company by which the de-
iaulting securities are held, and the cause and
circumstances are studied with all the zeal
which personal feeling prompts. If the city
or State has not done its best to meet its
debts, if there has been knayery or misman-
agement IN It's finances, If Its taxpayers have
ROBBED creditors by refusing 10 pay Their
taxes, if the voters have acted upon A ylndic-
tive feeling toward creditors because 1t is
known that most of them were loyal, these and
other such facts become known TO people in
every part of the North who have q direct
personal interest.
Southern people do not realize these facts.
At the South, there do not exs. institutions
which gather up the say Ire than
half Of the voters. Men a- ey, in
that section, directly or i..AlSO.ly, are few In
number. When the Southern voter thinks of
robDing money-lenders he is apt to imagine
from his observation of affairs IN his own neigh
borhood that the loss will fall upon very
small class of rlcb men. He does not realize
that the reputation of a debt by a
single State or city may be robbery

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

AS the LIST of January draws near, it is real
lied more fully every day that the dish Sc
ments at that time are TO be of extraordinary
magnitude For the first time since 1872
nearly all corporations and associations have
eDioyed a full year of profitable business.
Considering the growth of the country in
wealth within the past seven years, it seems
altogether probable that the profits to
be divided at the end of the year will
be larger than have ever been divided
at any previous yearly settlement. A
great number of corporations, associations and
firms, which have hitherto appeared as Dor
rowers, will now apply part of the profits
of the past year to the reduction or extin-
guishment of debts, and the disbursements on
this score d. not seem to be Immediately met
by any corresponding increase of new bor-
rowers. The interest and dividends to be
paid, on the business of the past year. half
year or quarter, will greatly swell the amount
of funds seeking employment.
Another element of some Importance is often
overlooked The amount of interest payable
to foreign creditors will be less than it has
been at any time for many years, and the dis
position on the part of foreign capitalists to
invest in American manufacturing, mining
railroad telegraph and other enterprises, and
thus TO secure some share of the extraordinary
prosperity which appears TO have dawned upon
this country, probably he's never been as great
before as 1t is now. r., lose of the year.
the reports of large "a its In hundreds
of enterprises in which foreign capital is
already invested, and the growing conviction
that no change is likely to be made in
legislation affecting the currency, viii stimulate
that disposition, so that we may perhaps see
large additions, after the opening of the new
year. to the foreign capital offered here for loans
or enterprises. The savings of the people.
during IT, past year. have been large also,
Notwithstanding the sudden rise in prices and
in cost of living. 1t has been estimated that
these savings ordinarily amount to more than
$500. 100000 yearly, and a considerable part
of that sum will presently become available
for new investment.
The business Of the month thus far has been
very large and active. The imports for last
week, in value SLOPES. 1856, have been ex-
ceeded in only one week this year, or for sew
eral years. and in the week ending November
% the amount was but $780, 900 larger. Less
than $4,000 In gold went out last week. to

A good deal OF American gold Is likely 10

six months. During the first week OF

also being collected and sent secretly over
for the help of the malcontents This is all
very touching and beautiful as a proof OF de-
votlon from the exiles of Erin, who are waxing
tat on our shores, to their green isle and
Iinsfolk but we submit to them that
the more prudent policy would be to
bring "Rory" ont of the green isle which has
noulished him so grudeingly, and set him to
work and grow fat here also, rather than to
support him yonder in hopeless poverty and
discomfort which have already lasted a thou
sand years.
There seems to be an increasing tendency
in all parts of Europe to regard the United
States as the fat kino Of the world,
from which milk can be drawn to sup
ply all their necessities. The Scotch, for
example, are Just now making an ap
peal for the support of Tie Highlander, the

grievances are much the same as those of the

whose incomes are drawn largely from the
rents of small holdings, and whose training
and habits require that these incomes shall
