not very brisk in any department. The hope, or
expectation Of material increase of business and
of somewhat better freights during the autumn
inspired by full harvess at an earlier stage of
the season, has not thus far been realized. With
continuation of existing conditions, however
foreign freights will be likely to hold their own
for an indefinite PERIOD and in the event of con
siderable Improvement in business, without ma
terlal increase OF tonnage, a somewhat better
range of rates would appear to be quite within the
bounds of probability. Short foreign freights
main quiet, with no appreciable change in rates
Orders for the West Indies, etc, not very
plentiful, whilst homeward freights continued de
Cidedy scarce and rates low. which renders out
ward business all the more satisfactory. Coast
wise lumber, coal and other long shore freights
do not show the slightest Improvement, and even
at the low rates current orders not plentiful.

Silent? Why. the extrava gance OF the
Fifty.first Congress was denounced and
resisted by faithful Democrats in Congress
and out Of It, months and months ago, and
hundreds OF watchful Democratic journals
polluted out the villainy Of every successive
step is the career Of that n1emora-

A number OF Italian women also visited

A force. of several hundred Italians offered
to secure his own protection by acting as

for hours with these infiamed people, that
he warned them Of the danger Of the course
which they were about to take. and Chat he
dissuaded them from perpetrating the deeds
upon which they were bent.
Truly these are astounding revelations.
