Asub-committee OF the British parliamen-
tary commission to investigate the causes of
trade aud agricultural depression In Great
Britainhas reached New York and begun it's
sitttngs there. The commission was selected
by the last Parliament to study this impor-
tant question, and see II 1t could not find some
remedy for the evils now affecting English
Industries. After hasty glance at the SUBJ
Ject it came to the conclusion that the great
est danger to England was from American
competition, and that, therefore, study of
the causes OF the decadenee Of English indus
tries could best be begun in the United States
Inc commission is not very hopeful OF the
outlook In England and majority OF its
members, notably Mr.. Chaplin, who moved

The tendency Is growing stronger every
day In this country to make all our elections
significant and prophetic Of the coming presi-
Dental campaign. In past years the October
elections were regarded as greatly affecting
those which followed II November, and the
most earnest efforts were therefore made by
all parties to carry the October States. Now
all the elections Of the year preceding, and
even Of the two years preceding q national
campaign, are regarded as equally necessary
to win, and an earnest and energetic fight Is
made In every State. Thus 1t is that the
elections In Maine, New York, Ohio and other
States, this year, have become national ques-
tions. We go even further than this and
make municipal contest, llkein the late CAM
paign In Cincinnati, test question OF the
Presidency. Where this is to end 1t Is hard
to say. It Is certain that at present, as soon
as we have elected one President, we are on
the eve of another presidential election.

BE OF GOOD CHEER.

From all portions Of the country come the
glad tidngs Of renewed prosperity. The
shadow which has.hung like apall, paralyzfng
the energies of the people and causing disas-
ter and ruin, Is passing rapidly away, and al
ready the sunlight Of hope is dispelIing the
darkness, and CLEANS Of It's radiance are seen
upon the countenances Of the people from one
end Of the Union to the other
It Is admitted on all sides that the long and
terrible season Of depression Is over, that In
dustry will now meet Its just reward, and that
the entire people will participate in the good
time coming and indeed already begun.
To all the marts of trade merchants and
buyers are thrOnging, and everywhere has
sprung up demand for articles and goods
which have for years been unstable. Years
Of saving and rigid economy have enabled the
people to pay their debts, live within their
means and have something to spare. The
earth has yielded abundant harvests. Europe
draws upon the United States largely for her
supplies Of grain and meat, etc, and for all
our products we find ready and remunerative
sale.
In the face Of these facts our people should
rouse themselves, fling to the winds all
gloomy apprehensions, and take heart
again. New Orleans has seen her darkest
days. She has drunk the cup Of adversely
and sorrow to the dregs, but she will soon
feel the revivifying influences of prosperity,
and rising from the ashes, as it were, Of her
former glory, will eclipse her past, and be the
proud emporium Of the vast and fertile Valley
OF the Mississippi.
With swift and certain railway connection
with Texas with the port open to the largest
sea-gong vessels, with the grain Of the West
pouring down upon us for shipment to Eu-
rope, with bright prospects for our cotton
and sugar crops, and with the certainty Of an
early business season, there Is cause for in
dulging in the most sangune anticlpations.
The quarantine restrictions upon our trade
must soon be removed, and with renewed In
tercourse with the world New Orleans will
In common with the other cities Of the coun.
try, feel the effects Of the revival OF business
Let our people, therefore, be of good cheer

brilliant future. m=amm%uz

A study of the yearly revenues OF France
shows clearly that violent political excite
ments greatly affect the taxes, wealth and
condition of q country. In 1871, when ffHnce
was freed from German occupation, an in
creased taxation of $14e, 600, 900 was found
necessary to pay the German war fund. The
first year Of the new taxation the receipts of
the government We're exactly what they were
calculated; the second year, 1873, however,
thanks to the improved condi.t on Of the coun-
try. they exceeded the expected revenues by
81. 500, 600. The following year, 1874,
wes the year OF the reaction Theirs
res gned, and for short time the country
was at whitehead of political excitement.
FinaNv quiet was restored and MaeMahon
elected President. The effect OF the political
xaxcitAnant was shown in the fact that instead
of surplus there was a deficit that year Of
81. 0oo, GOO. Eighteen hundred and seventy
five saw poli, icaI peace again and an increase
of S2s. 900 ia the revenues: 1876, still
further increase, OF $7,20o,000. In 1877, the
political heat caused by the action of the
Broglie Ministry produced another deficit
Last.year, with the d, tinitive triumph Of the
republic, the revenues sprang up again and
exceeded the estimates by SO, 400 geo. 10 fine,
there has not been a political movement IN
france, a campaign, or an election, which has
not affected. more or less, the wealth, re-
sources and revenues OF France.

CHARLES O'OONoR,

We observe in several journals a statement
that that great jurist and Democrat, Charles
O'Conor, had given to the holders of bonds
OF the Southern States the opinion that suit
would be on such bonds against the States,
and that upon judgment rendered writs could
be executed on any property of the State,
such as the State-House or other public
buildings.
In various forms and connections has this
statement been made and repeated. 1t has
never had any other foundation than mere
rumor or hearsay. M.-0.m 5M5mm@ -."
It is due to the great reputation Of this
eminent and venerable iurist that 1t should
be stamped as utterly unfounded and unwar-
ranted. SO far is 1t from the truth that in
the printed brief OF Mr. O'Conor In the great
case OF the Tennessee bonds, we find his
assertion that the eleventh amendment OF the
constitution, which prohibits suits against
States, excludes all such Jurisdiction, and
United States court agans State.
Doubtless the idea of Mr.. O'Conor's con-
nection with the scheme Of general raid
against the States through the United States
courts, originated in his engagement to prose-
cute the Tennessee railroads on the bonds
which they obtained from the State In ex-
change for mortgage bonds that bore lien
on the roads. The object Of this suit Is to en-
force this lien in favor of the bonds, by SUBJ
rogating the holders to the lien originally
given to the State, and sought by an uncon-
stitutional act to be released ia fraud Of the
bondholders.
1t Is in his brief In this case Mr.. O'Conor
expresses the opinion that the eleventh
amendment the constitution is In full force
and effect and deprives the Federal judiciary
Of all jurisdiction over suits against States.
1t Is due to the great esteem In which Mr..
O'Conor is held throughout the country, and
especially In the South that his opinions
should not be misrepresented, AS the lead
Ing counsel for Jefferson Davis, in his trial
for treason, and in the great case before the
Electoral Commission, and as the ever faith
ful and undaunted champion Of Democracy
Charles O'Conor will ever be looked I'D to a s
political and judicial sage, apostle and con
stitutional expounder, whose opinions on all
subjects must ever be received in every part
Of the nation, and by all classes, with the pro-
foundest respect and veneration

Appropriate Remarks.

The remarks of Capt. James Bumgard-
nsr, on the occasion of the Memorial services
at the Confederate Soldiers Cemetery on
Monday last, were the most appropriate OF
the kind, we believe, we have ever read
We have not much fancy for this kind of dis.
play on either side. for the reason that it
furnishes, generally, an excuse for a great
amount OF silly gush. Capt. Bumgardner,
however, elevated the occasion and the'thcme.
in that his remarks showed true concep-
tfon Of the idea that should be presented
and the sentiment inculcated. As a senten i.
tious production it is unsurpassed. The
graceful arrangement. of the sentences, the
rounded periods, the beautiful thoughts so
pleasantly and perspicuously presented, will
rank the address among the choicest '.selec-
lions Of English composition, and should
invite 1t into the collections of English lit
erature for the study of the young of our
country.
We have read the remarks of Gov. Holli-
day and Gen. Morgan, at Winchester, and
Mr.. A. N. Kelley, at Baltimore, on the occa-
sion Of the ceremonies at those places,
and several Of the addresses delivered in the
North on Decoration Day, but none of them
equal-in fact come far short of equaling-
the ornate, vigorous and stately production
Of Capt. Bnmgardner.

John Wrenn has been acquitted on both
charges preferred against him in Richmond.
The first charge was conniving at the escape
of the forger BEDFORD, and the second, hav-
ing robbed a Mr.. Law of $40 Capt. George
D. Wise, the prosecuting attorney, did what
he could to bring Wrenn to justice, but the
odds were too great. Wrenn knows too
much about Democratic rascalities in Rich
mond to fear punishment from that commu-
nifty. He planned the ballot-box smashing
in 1867, by which Republican mayor was
cheated out of his office. and was the organ
izer OF the general system OF fraud in cleo
tions that prevailed in Richmond for years
afterwards. His case is something like that
of Bullock. of Georgia--there are too many
prominent Democrats implicated In the
s'dark ways" of which he is cognizant,
whose exposure would follow any punish
ment inflicted on him, for-him to apr ehend
danger. Bullock was indicted for issuing
fraudulent State bonds, but when it was
found that retinue of native Democrats
was at his back and participants in the
crime, when he delivered himself up for
trial, the case was dismissed, and Bullock
breathes the AIR OF Georgia as free as the
most innocent man who now treads her soil.
