The New York Herald Units issue of Sun
day devoted almost an entire page to inter-
views with the leading business men o New
York City in reference to the business out
look, and the general re;ult is summed up
in this:
Ia almost all branches Of trade the in
dications of s prosperous season are more
favorable than they have been for some
time. The demand for goods is greater,
the rise in prices is more stable, the orders
from country districts are more numerous,
the crops are hourishing, extreme cautious
ness has given place to q well advised bold
ness-in one word, distrust and misfortune
have been driven out Of the mercantile
field by confidence and fortune. 1t is not
to be supposed, however, that the battle has
been bloodless or that the victors see an un-
clouded future before them. Great as the
victory has been, it cannot, it is maintained,
produce permanent prosperity unless a
grievous malsdy, which is eating into the
vitals OF business, be ruthlessly stamped out
By the government physicians. This msls-
DIV is silver coinage, as fostered and pro-
tected By the mischievous Bland act. The
representatives of all the great trades, men
who have as good q right to be heard on the
subject ss bankers and 6nsnciers, protest
with sll the force that is in them against
the further coinage Of the silver dollar.
Dollar2 No; in their eyes it is a bastard
coin, which has DO more right to be called
a dollar than it has 70 be called a half Gov
ereign. A dollar, they say, is worth q hum
bred cents, and this bogus article isn't
worth near as much as that. What We want
is honest money, and if we don't get that it
is absurd for rs to expect that trade can be
prosperous. Bankers and statesmen
may write learned pamphlets about the
merits and defects of the Silver bill, but all
we know is that it is not honest and is
bound to hurt trade as long as it is coined.
As business men everywhere like TO hear
views exchanged on questions that concern
them, the foregoing is given.

territory a. she should wish.

II the Chief of Police viii do his " in
vestigating thoroughly and promptly and
act with corresponding energy and deci-
sion, this community will stand BY him.
Otherwise il will not. Neither the Mayor
nor Council has anything to do With OHicer
BuRSs' case, unless the Chief neglects to
nav attention to it, and we believe this Is
NOT the Chiefs intention. If Officer BURNS
is msIigned keep him on the force. If not,
not. The Chief knows his duty, and know
ing il we trust he has the courage to exc
euts it. If the deputies are worthy men
stand by them, and against all spite
work and malice. But if they
are guilty of improper conduct as officers
they ought to be bounced and the order Of
their going ought not to be considered eth
er. As the Chief, so the subordinate. If
the head lack 6rmness and vigilance the
rank and Gle viii take quick advantage.
The Chief win be held responsible for every
act Of his force. II they be good and faith
tul officers, he will receive the praise. If
on the contrary, they are dOOless, useless
and discrsditab and he permits them to wear
the buttons, be and not the men, will get
all the blsme.

SouE of the Virginia Justices Of the
Peace have original ideas about conducting
their business. A justice in n Of the
border counties has struck the happy
thought Of depending upon Patent Office
reports for Law and for legal forms. This
Justice is q very good man to have around,
but adjoining counties and States are rather
at 8 disadvantage. He always takes his
own time to cipher out and write q warrant
for 3 mans arrest, and several days before
the warrant is ready for use the criminal
has slipped across the line into West Yir
ginia and the people Of his " community
are no more disturbed BY him.

Nh. ROBERT GARRETT has returned from
his European tour and finds sOms very i'm
pOrtant questions concerning his railroad
and telsgrsPhic interests confronting him.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
have, ever since his absence, been casting
longing eyes upon the B. & o. telegraph
Inc and their lngiug has no; ceased at his
return. The late railroad negotiations that
have been going on in Pennsylvania and New
York makes it seem very probable that a
vigorous movement is on foot to keep the
B. 4 o. railroad out of New York City.
Mr.. GARRETT can interest himself for some
time in looking after these matters. What
efforts he viii make in regard to them
will be very interesting.
