The number of failures reported by
Bradstreet for the first fifth of the
year does not indicate that we are
rot yet through the hard times. They
have numbered 3,349, as against 2,
1877 in 1884, 2,69I in 1883. and 1,797
in 1882. The same ratio for the
whole year will give q total of over
1000 failures more than ever before
recorded. The only redeeming feat
ure about it is that the character of
the failures has changed SO that it
may be possible their Importance
may be greatly lessened before the
close of the year, even if their num-
Der should be so great. There has
been a great falling off in the mum
Der of heavy failures, and those now
occurring are mainly of small, often
of very small firms. Should no I'm
toward circumstances intervene,
there is ground to hope that we have
reached the turning point, and may
expect nothing worse, at least. The
situation seems very like that of 1879
at the same period of the year. If
the comparison holds good there will
be q slight improvement in prices be-
fore the end Of the year.

Toledo Bee: There is but little
doubt that two of the most eminent
characters now living in American
history will pass away before the
close of the year-the one the great
est military chieftain of modern
times, the other a great statesman
and political leader. Few men &C.
cupy more conspicuous places in the
history of the country than General
Grant and Samuel j. Tilden, and
their tenure of life hangs as it were
by a thread. Reports indicate that
Mr. .Tilden's condition is precarious,
and that the sands Of his life arc well
nigh run out. He has proved himself
to be one of the most remarkable
characters in the political history OF
the country. To him more tlan to
all others the Democracy fthe coun-
try owes what success it has obtained
in its long struggle against great
odds, and when he passes away the
party will lose one ofits wisest, most
patriotic counselors.

1t is a matter of considerable salts
faction to know that some of the lazy
United States army and navy officers
are being sent out for duty. We are
not particular advocates of hard la
Dor for government employees, but
when a man shirks his work there is
a peculiar satisfaction in seeing
them put to it. Imagine some of
the dude officers who have been
stalking around under q sun umbrel
la at the watering places, sweltering
under the hot sun of the plains for
several hours.

The Democrats are commencing to
unearth the rascality of the Republi-
cans at Washington. Some of the
departments are honeycombed with
'.jobs and frauds" of every descrip
tion, while millions have been paid to
super numeraries in Office whose sal
aries were earned by the good they
did the people by working for the g.
o. p. in office. Over 40 hangers on
at the Treasury Department who
drew regular salaries varying from
$1,000 minimum, to $4,000 maximum
were discharged by Secretary Man
Eing, last week. A dozen govern
ment carriages and horses were kept
in that department for the use of the
officers and the drivers were super,
numerary saleried clerks at $1,000 to
$4,000. The Secretary discharged
the drivers and ordered the horses
and carriages sold at auction and the
money covered into the treasury. 1t
is said the Interior Department is
worse than the Treasury Department
and the Secretary of State Depart
ment is a kind of 'star chamber" ar
rangement in which the people have
neither interest or privilege accord
ed them.

In Chattanooga the negro death
rate is more than double that of the
whites, and the same is true of Mem
and yet the census shows that
the negroes are increasing nor Jap
idly than the whites. The explana-
ton of this is in tine difference be-
tween the birth rates of the two races.
A given number Of whites have six
children born to them in a year, of
whom two die before reaching the age
of self support. The same number of
il is said, will have ten chill
dren born in a year, and lose five be,
fore they reach the age of self sup
port. The negroes thus lose two and
a half times as many children as the
whites, and yet Lain upon them in
the census figures.

The country has had a Democratic

Nevada has a law against "treat
ing" at public bars, and an arrest has
already been made at Carson City
with a view of testing the law. The
penalty is a fine of from SIS to $40, or
imprisonmet of from two to ten days,
for such offense: and this penalty is
doubled where evasion is attempted
by any "chicanery or subterfrge
whatever" The workings of this
unique attempt at legislation will be
watched with curious interest.

Senator Zeb Vance says that the
administration is working the bust
ness of removals and appointments
about as they used to make soft soap
in old times in North Carolina. The
art of making good soft soap consist
ed greatly in the way in which it
was stirred. The stirring should be
slow and easy, not too fast and not
too hard, but, then, it must be kept
going. He thinks everybody will be
satisfied when the political soap is
made, although they may get little
tired of waiting.

The exposures now being made in

"This cruel rumor, which seems to

months, did not reach me till three

Just as much an insult to be asked

any one can think me capable of be-

ing regarded as a criminal. A digni-
fed denial by my friends, l suppose,

feel that any denial is needed.

After four yeare ofarduous service,
marked by unsurpassed courage and
fortitudc, the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia has been compelled to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources.
1 need not tell the survivors ofso many
hard fought battles, who have remain
ed steadtast to the last, that l have con-
sentcd to the result from no distrust of
them. But feeling hat devotion and
valor could accomplish nothing that
would compensate for the loss that
must have attended the continuance of
the contest 1 determined TO avoid the
useless sacrifice of those whose past
services have endeared them TO their
countrymen. By the terms of The
agreement, officers and men can return
to their homes and remain until they
are exchanged. You will take with
youthe satisfaction that proceeds from
the consciousness of duty faithfully
a merciful God will extend 10 you his
mercy and protection.
With all unceasing admiration of
your constancy and devotion to your
country and a grateful remembrance
of your kind and generous considera-
ton for myself, l bid you all an af-
