aDLPLONATlC DISCOURrESY.o

Perhaps this is as good a specimen Of it
as any
The power of this Republic at the present moment Is
spread over region OF the richest and most fertile
on the globe and of an extent IN comparison win
which the possessions of the house OF maps
hnrg are but "a patch on the
earths surface It's population already twenty-five mil
lions. will exceed that of the Austrian Empire within
the period during which 1t may be hoped that MI
Hulsemann may yet remain in the honorable discharge
Of his duties to his Governm mt
The above taunt addressed directly to the
Austrian Minister, is from the pen of Daniel
Webster Secretary of State, December 21,
1850. If any such Boosting could d louudln Mr..
Blaine's dispatch on the Clayton I'ulvcr treaty
how the Boston papers would belaD0r
him! And yet Mr.. Wchotns language
was so applauded at the ti,.o as a
patriotic utterance that the friends OF
Mr.. Everett were proud to claim the actual
authorship Of the dispatch for him What
a difference the ownership Of the gored OK does
make with the average Boston critic, The Ad-
rertiser of that city is eager we believe, to have
Mr. Frelinghuyscn eat "humblc pie and ask
TO withdraw Mr.. Blaine's inSOlcnt dispatch, and
The HcraH thinks we have escaped actual
hostiities with England by having ilr. Blaine
leave tDc Stdtc department IH'ot I''NI'h
papers evidently misconceiye the true value OF
the buster and bTavadO OF the English press
Meanwhile we are happy to observe that
the great majority OF the American newspa-
pers and the great mass of American citizens
are not misled or disturbed by it. They stand
with fruncss and with enthusiasm i'll favor
of the broad American doctrine laid down III
Nj. Blainc's dispatches. Nor have they Oh a
careful reperusal of those dispatches seen one
dscourtcous or undignifed word. The actual
tone of Mr.. Biane's dispatch, SO far as courtesy
is involved may be conclusiyey inferred from
the following taken from the instruction to
Mr. Lowell:
In presenting the views contained herein to Lori
Granville YOU viii take occasion 10 sa, that the Coy
erment Of the United States seeks this particular time
for the discus ion as lost opporune aud auspcious
no period since the pce Of 1888 have the relations be-
tween the British ank American Governments been
cordial and friendly as now. And am sure her Mjcs
tvs Government will find in the views low suggested
and the propositions submitted, additional evidence
of the desire OF this Government al possible
grounds Of controversy between two nations which
have so many interest in aud many reasons
for astng aud honorable peace.
Won't the Boston papers publish this para
graph along with Hr. Webster's, just to prove
how discourteous the tone OF Mr.. Biaines dis
patch is

INCREASE IN BUSINESS.

Those who wish to look on the dark side of
things have to close their eyes to many OF the
facts that come to light about the beginning
of a new year. The growth of business in this
country has been so wonderful that few intel
ligent men entirely realize it. Two returns
have recently been made to the State Engineer
by the New-Yorl Central and the Erie
Railroads which give striking evidence
of this growth. The operations of two
of the great lines of transportation be-
tween East and West measure quite
closely the general increase in volume
of business. Comparison OF money receipts,
however interesting to stockholders, gives little
information aS to the increase OF decrease OF
business, because receipts depend upon rates
charged, and the change in rates within the
mast ten years has been great. But the num-
Der OF tons and OF passengers transported
varies with the increase or decrease in general
activity of business. The following compares
the movement of passengers and Of freight on
these two roads for 1871, 1876 and 1851, tis-
cal years ending September 30:

At Albany the war of the Democratic fac
tons continues. The Regulars in the Assembly
held another caucus last evening, and oiled
M their ticket with candidates for the minor
Offices, evidently despairing of any agreement
with the Tammany men. In the Senate. which.
with the Licutenant-GOvcrnOr in the chair and
the Old officers holding over is able to trans
act business, the Tammany men pOstured as
earnest and mSeliish champions of the Anti
Monopoly movement. Boyd, the Anti-MonOpOly
Senator from this city who beat Hogan by the
help of Tammany, offered a resolution which
gave the rest OF the Democratic boilers chance
TO tell how deeply they felt for the poor people
oppressed Ivy the railroads, and how their CON
victions as patriots compelled them to oppose
the election of Jacobs as President pro TEN.
This nee little melOdIama did not seem to
make much impression on anybody save the
actors in it. The rural Democrats did not rush
into the arms of these high-mnded defenders
of popular rights against the grinding tyranny
of the corporations, and the Republicans
listened with broad grins. The fight Tammany
is making is none the less stubborn, however,
because of the attempt of its members to cover
their motives with the cloak Of an issue in
which they can feel little real interest. They
are evidently Diet rmined to make full use OF
the power they possess to pay off the IildeniteS
for the aliIOnts put upon them in recent years
