The Boston Commercial Bulletin SAYS that

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says that
where SE10 per cent were formerly readily
obtained for money 1t is now difficult to OBJ
tain 3@4 per cent. The cause of this Is as
cribed, not to the dull times or Industrial de-
preston, but to the decline OF prices. The
money lenders have suffered because the
wants OF borrowers have decreased with
their line OF discounts Public and private
debts are being steadily reduced, and new
enterprises are being undertaken more and
more with cash, and less with credit every day.
1t concludes, therefore, that for the present
there will be nogreat advance in interest rates,
except in obedience to the spasmodie influence
on the market Of stock speculations.

a PARTY THAT Haas OUT
LIVED HTS PRINCIPLES.

The present republican party sprung
from free-soilism and the abolition OF
African slavery in America. The re-
suits of the war in 1865 accomplished
its mission. It's rise and ultimate swell
and elimination into a revolutionary
and war making party in 1861 absorbed
the old whig party OF the North, and
carried with it in its excitement large
number of the democrats of the West,
When its aims had been accomplished,
through vast expenditures OF human
life, blood and uationa! treasure, 1t
would be reasonable to suppose that as
its principles had thus been rindicated
it would have passed into history and
calmly rested upon its grand triumph.
But ike a pestilcntial plague its seeds
of discord had taken deep root in the
body polite OF our once peaceful, united
and happy country, which has deYel-
oped the present misnomened repu6li-
can party into q sectional party OF hate,
which, like the green-eyed monster jeal-
ousy, makes the food it lives on by its
appeals to the passions OF the people on
those sectional issues which have long
since been settled by the arbitration Of
the sword.
Listen to one Of its stalwarts, Repre-
sentative Burrows, at Madison, Wis:
when this war was over, we made
mistake that we did not, under the con-
stitution, arrest, try and hang every
leader of that rebellion" This is sys
,ematic effort to keep alive and fan the
flame of sectional hate; it is the spas
modic throes oil decaying party which
must from the natural course of events
soon disintegrato and die out for the
want of those healthful principles so cs-
sential to the existence Of great ma
'tional party.
The Baltimore american of last week
contained the following:-
The loudest cheers that were brought
out by the speech-making at the repub-
lican reunion at Madison, Wis, some
time ago, was when Representative
Burrows said: "NVhen this war vas
over, we made a mistake that we did
not, under the Constitution, arrest, Try,
and hang every leader Of that rebellion.
We ought to have made treason SO odi-
Gus that the sons of rebel sires would
have denied their parentage."

SENATOR G. T. BUrrER-This gen.

Fayette, ID which county he proposes
to deliver a series Of lectures i'll the in
terest of the Patrons of Husbandry. So
far as we have heard any expression of
opinion, Mr.. Buffers lectures in this
county were highly instructive, were
endorsed most heartily by those who
heard them and had tendency to do
good. The contrast between his lee
lures and those of Mr.. Whitehead were
very striking. The lectures of the lat
ter gentleman had pernicious tenden-
cy His object seemed TO be TO array
one class of our citizens against another
and, upon the whole, he has done more
harm than good in this county. Mr..
Butler, on the contrary, by his broad
and liberal views, by combining himself,
in his lectures, to those matters which
concern and interest the farmer,as such,
by his courtesy to all classes and pro
LESSONS, and by his bearing as Nir-
ginia gentleman, has succeeded, to some
extent at least, in removing the bad
effects Of Mr.. Whitchead's partlzan
stump speeches. We understand that

THE FARMING DEMONSTRATION. G..
T. Butler, State Senator from the coun-
ty Of Jefferson, West Virginia, called
to see us on Wednesday evening.
Senator Butler is a well-intormed and
intelligent gentleman, and is now on a
tour, through this section, for the pur-
pose of advancing the farming interest
of his State. A mission truly honor
able and noble! We trust that he may
be the means Of accomplishing great
good in his laudable work. The far
mer is the salt of the earth. His call
ing should be ennobled and elevated by
intelligent effort, and all the means and
appliances of the present advanced age
should be placed at his command, in
his line, for the promotion of the work
in which lie is engaged.-Greenbrier

NATIONS.

We copy the following from the
Farmers friend, and add that the
practice of the railroad company's dis
eliminating in their charges is working
the ruin Of the agricultural interest OF
the Eastern slope from the Alleghanys
TO the sea board. The people and es,
pecially the farmers should make it al
issue and demand a pledge from the
candidates for representative positions,
both the State and National legislatures,
that they should vote to right this
great wrong
The Board of Trade Of Detroit, and
the Chamber of Commerce Of the city
of New York, have both recently been
aroused to the great danger that now
meuaces these two cities, through I'M
Just discrimination of freight charges,
both eastcrly and westerly bound, and
each one CT these powerful influential
bodies has appointed committees to IN
yeStigaie the question, and to devise
and suggest some remedy for this IN
Justice on the part Of the railroads.
1t is identically the same fight, in
principle and purpose, that the Western
Changers had but few years ago; aud
powerful as these two commercial bod
les appear on the surface, they will
stand sorrly in need Of these same
Changers as allies in the controversy.
These commercial bodies will now
,Ealize the magnitude of such an un-
dertakiDg as fighting railroad corpora
lions, with every State legislator and
member of Congress armed with free
railroad passes, and large and perfect
ly disciplined army Of employees. to
say nothing of an unlimited amount Of
money, on their side, aud the morgan
lied, disunited people on the other. But
few years ago they stood aloof and
sueercd at Changers i'll undertaking n
like task, and which would have con-
tinued a perpetual blessing; but for q
denial Of public sentiment through the
press, and of the necessary means to en-
force the law, unjust determinations
have been continually practiced by rail,
roads, much to the detriment OF the
farming interests.
But it is to be hoped that the Gran
gers and farmers of the West and the
whole country will forget and forgive
the iibes and jeers of few years ago,
and come at once to the rescue, for
nothing short OF persistent and united
fort Of every element opposed to these
usurpcrs of power can bring them TO q
realizing sense of just and fair dealing
with those TO whom they owe for the
charter which now gives them place.

SUDDEN DEATH OF Il. II. STEWART,
OF BERKELEY CoUNTY.-R. II. Stewart,
a well known citizen of Berkeley, arri-
we'd at the Taylor Hotel on Monday

prietor of the hotel, at once carried him
to his room, and DR.. Love was quickly

no avail, and he died about an hour
and half after the attack. He had
not been very well for some days, but
the immediate cause of his death could
not be determined without an eXamina-
ton. DR.. Love suspected an internal
hemorrhage.
Mr.. Stewart was a son of the late
VIM. Stewart, from whom he inherited
All ample estate. lie resided on his
farm near Martinsburg, and was an ell
terprising, public spirited citizen. He
was one the promoters and principal
owners of the Grand Central Hotel in

given that city as much reputation and
has been of as much solid benefit as
any other public enterprise ever inaug
urated there. lie was very well
known in the adjoining counties as
well az at home, and his sudden taking
off will cause profound sorrow to hosts
of warm friends, and is a genuine loss
to the county of Berkeley. Mr.. S. was
