THE CAUSES OF DULL TIMES.
From the Chicago lie iiubi iean.
One of the iuot notorious faots in the
stagnation iu imsinex throughout a wide
spread portion of this country. While no
body doubta tho fact, thoiwands diffor about
the causes. We have our own opinion on
this question, and here are our roasons for
the faith that i in ns :
In 18;.r, McCnlloch instituted his policy of
contraction. He burnod many thousand dol
lars of currency, and thus very materially
reduced the volume of the circulating
medium. A cry of remonstrance came from
the people, and his restrictions were brought
to a close by Congressional enactmont. I)o
Kpite this stoppnge, these had accomplished a
certain extent of their mission.
This persistent effort to got baok to a re
sumption of specie payments was aooompa
niod by a variety of intluencos loading in the
direction of panic. There was not only an
enforced but a natural contraction of the
currency. While Secretary McCnlloch was
burning tip millions of groonbacks every
month, the aroa over whioh the currency was
spreading was very largely increased. For
instance, the South had few banks and little
of the circulating medium of the country.
California contracted payments on a basis of
gold. The Pacific Ilailroads were not yet
opened. Greenbacks and national bank
notes were confined within restricted limits.
With tho cessation of hostilities botween
the sections, came a dispersion of the cur
rency, whose other name is contraction.
Regions which never before had contained a
dollar of greenbacks, soon absorbod every
dollar of national currency of all sorts they
could attract. This progressive movement
brought about a stringency in the money
market. It became difficult to borrow
money for reasonable commercial periods.
The tendency, more and more, was to loan
money on call. This custom, however, made
it more and more difficult for business men
to carry their burdens. The inevitable conse
quence was that they curtailed operations.
In doing this, various employes went out
of situations. These became competitors at
once with those who had places. At once
ensued a competition for the sale of services.
This of course operated to reduce compen
sation. As each person was crowded oat,
without resort for subsistence bat the sale
of his services, the war on salaries and wages
accumulated. Moreover, the purchasing
power of tho community was, at the same
time, diminishing. Every one deprived of
the power of earning a livelihood was ne.
cessarily abridged in his power to
make purchases. All this, of course,
meant a falling off of trade. There
was plenty to sell, but there were constantly
f e wer and fewer buyers. Such is increasingly
the condition of the North. Thousands upon
thousands are without employment, and the
number is regularly augmenting without the
prospect oi diminution, mere is a compe
tition lor the sale ot services, and this com
petition grows constantly stronger and
stronger. Here we get at the secret of tho
dullnss of the times. Men who have no
money cannot buy; men who canno) find
employment cannot earn money; men who
have no money and cannot earn it are in no
condition to be purchasers of commodities,
either for speculation or for consumption.
Under such circumstances it is impossible
not to have dull times.
Meantime, the South, so lately desolated
and almost bankrupt, is prosperous. Why ?
Because there a competition for the employ
ment of service is taking place. The great
cry is for laborers. Every person who seeks
it can find labor, and reasonable compensa
tion. In various parts of the cotton belt,
negroes are able to accumulate from $500 to
$;SOO0 for one year's work, as their share of
the growing crop. It is because labor is
scarce and high. These persons, at best, are
only skilled farm hands, conversant with the
culture of the fleecy staple. While they reap
a harvest of returns upon their daily toil,
thousands in the North stand upon the verge
of suffering, perhaps almost of starvation.
While there is a plethora of laborers at the
North, there is luck at the South in other
words, in one section, there is a competition
for the sale; in the other, a competition for
the employment of labor.
It may be asked, why do not the excess of
laborers in the one section seek employment
in the other section, where there is a lack ?
We reply, because there is no means to ex
change localities. The man who has not one
cent in his pocket is in poor condition to pay
for the warm meal he needs; so the man
who has been weeks out of work is in poor
condition to seek new scenes of employment.
Here we get at the secret of dull times.
The purchasing power of the community,
compulsorily, has boon signally diminished,
Wholesalers cannot sell, because retailers
cannot sell; retailers cannot sell, because cus
tomers have no money with which to pur
chase. Reverse these conditions. Give em
ployment to the idle; pay wages to those with
out work, and the purchasing power of the
masses will be increased. Then, the man who
is now impecunious will have somothing to
spend; from these purchases profits will flow
in upon dealers; retailers will patronize whole
salers; and so the movement of recuperation
will go on, trom the bottom to the top.
Dull times, then, are not so much due to
over-production, as to inability to consume.
Set in motion the influences which increase
the circulation of commodities, and imme
diately we shall have an accession oi pros
perity. CANING AND COWIIIDING.
From the A. i7. Tribune.
There is an epidemic of personal chastise
ment in the land. Men and women, mounted
npon their injuries, are "making for" other
men and women, who ar supposed to have
injured them, with a ferocity which is trulv
formidable. In Chicago lately the dramatic
Amazons of the Thompson liurlesquers
thus unsexed themselves, and, for once in
their lives, exhibited the moat violent seri
ousness. In our own city recently one of oar
own guild was greatly fustigated on account
of an unlucky piece of his penmanship. 'rh.a
telegraph brings us daily descriptions 0f
these resorts to the cane as the avenger of
wounded honor. Thus, in Chioago agaia,
one Maurice Langloth, who is the city editor
of a German newspaper, betrayed perhaps by
that yearning for sensational variety whioh
renders feverish almost the whole raoe
of city editors, published some scandal
oi anu coucorning tne j?rau Btielman, a
German actress, a woman of great fame and
equai virtue, iane a Bwu t but savage Ca
milla, she at once scoured the streets of
Chicago, and skimmed into the office of the
Teutonio journal, where, between her and
the urban snapper-Tip of trifles, ensued a word
combat of the iatenaegt volubility. This, wo
grieve to sny, ended somewhat tragically, for I
the city editor (we are loth to write it), mad- I
dened by the repartees of Mrs. btielman, was
so ungallant as to stab her with that instru
ment of bis vocation, "a penknife, i or tun
he was conducted to a dungeon; but soon
getting out again, he resumed at once the
business of speaking evil of Thespians, and
especially of a man and maidon at the same
theatre, r or tins he was duly Hogged by
two young men"upon the pavement, this time
"with a horsewhip;" and so the honor of tho
young persons at tne theatre may be con
sidered as asserted and duly demonstrated.
This business of chastising is getting, it
seems to us, a little stole and tedious. It
would be quite refreshing to hear of somebody
who, having been blown to a groat height in
the journalistio columns, did stoically deter
mine to regard his involuntary elevation with
profound contempt. Speaking for ourselves
personally, and as a general thing, we had
rather be despised than caned, and anybody
who feels disposed is, by these presents, Bo-
corded full liberty to regard us with the utmost
loathing and horror; to consider us as abso
lutely beneath his notice, and especially to
treot us with that form of contempt which is
called and known as the silent. In this mis
cellaneous world we have never dilated
with the absurd ambition of trying to please
everybody. Spades are spades, aud none the
less bo though we may enphonioally designate
them as shovels. In the course of human
events, of which destiny has designated us as
annalists, it sometimes becomes necessary to
speak of human obliquities, and to speak of
them with a reasonable degree of sharpness.
It happens of course at rare intervals that
newspapers should sometimes speak the truth,
not merely of measures, but of men; and
sometimes to mitigate an offense against de
cency is snbstantiidly to publish not "a lie"
(for that is a word which it is never proper to
use), but let us say "an untruth," which is
a more comfortable expression. Therefore,
we may be obliged to call a man sometimes
by a hard name; but should we do so, we
hereby permit, allow, and license that man
to consider us as caned or cowhided to post
the fact, as if it were a fact, in all bar-rooms,
exchanges, and other places where men most
do congregate to boast and brag and swag
ger up and down the town at our expense;
and to publish, if he pleases, in a pamphlet,
the particulars of our chustiseruent. He will
thus experience all the pleasures without the
perils of a heroic action, while it will be our
own good luck to escape the pangs. For
his consolation, we assure him that
he will find fools enough to be
lieve him; to glory greatly in his valor and
our own discomfiture; to narrate the tale in
all companies to which they may gain admis
sion with a perfect crescendo of circumstances;
and to consider us as a thing to be pointed at,
ridiculed, and despised, lie will thus acquire
immense reputation; our own will not be
materially hurt; everything will go on
Berenely, without recourse to the low and
vulgar expedient of flogging, which is only
lit lor tho rivo l'oints or for Dounybrook
Fair. Men beaten in the abstract feel no
bruiBes, while the complacency of men who
so beat them is perfectly illimitable.
To suppose that a newspaper can be con
ducted without provoking the extreme wrath
ot somebody, is the acme of absurdity. Fart.
and a great part, of the legitimate business of
journalism is to give oll'ense to those who are
deserving of public censure. When we are
all virtuous together this will be different; at
present the fact, however mortifying to the
prido of human nature, remains fixed. The
censor must do his duty, although he may
himself be very far from faultless. To the
honest public he is responsible for veracity
and fair intention; to those he may offend for
the caning in the abstract:
THE RING AND THE REPUBLICANS.
From the N. 1'. World.
The most noteworthy thing in the proceed
ings at Albany on Wednesday is the fact that
the Republicans of the Assembly voted in a
body tor the I weed charter. The covert liaison
which has long existed between the ring and
the Republican party was celebrated yester
day us an open marriage. The nuptiuls pro
mise a new progeny of corruption. It is a
union cemented by "the cohesive power of
publio plunder." There has long been a par
tition of the city spoils botween the parties to
this new arrangement, who have adroily
pinyeci into eacn otner s nands, and are so
accustomed to act together that the Ilepubli
cans find no difficulty in coming to the rescue
of the ring, when the ring is pushed to an
extremity. The half-and-half Board of Super
visors, of which Tweed is the head and
the master-spirit, and which has long had
the bad eminence of being more notori
ously, more reekingly corrupt than any
other combination on Manhattan Island, wan
the Iruit of a bargain between dishonest De
mocrats in this city and dishonest Republi
cans at Albany for mutual gain and advantage.
This great head of the city sore, where all the
most corrupt humors gather and tester, is
left untouched by the Tweed charter; aud
this is one of the inducements by which the
ring has won Republican support. The other
corrupt inducements will appear in due time,
if this monstrosity of a charter should pass
the Senate. Mayor Hall, the creature and
tool of the ring, who is to bo kept in office
to make all the new appointments, is pledged
to appoint Republicans to places in all the
new commissions; and it is iu consideration
of this pledge, and of leaving the Ring-Re.
publican Hoard of Supervisors untouched,
that the Republicans of the Legislature have
decided to go en iiiutoietor the I weed charter,
this is a Democratic city. The Democratio
voters outnumber the Republican voters three
to one. If this city enjoyed tho same right
of self-government which is accorded to all
ctuer localities, ltepubiicuns could hold no
offices here, and would have no part of the city
patronage. It has been a standing topio of
compiuini by tno democracy of the city, and
a standing topic of invective by the hypo
critical ring, that tho Republicans have used
their power in the Legislature to foist their
partisans into office in a city where no Repub
licans could be elected by the votes of the peo
ple. When the Democratic party got control of
the Legislature.it was expected that this wrong
would be redressed. dih wnat do we find t
We have seen the ring opposing and defeat
ing every wholesome reform which would
deprive its members of their dishouext gains;
and now, to keep themselves in power, they
make a corrupt alliance with the Republicans
based on a promise to give them us large a
show in the city government as they have
possessed under the odious legislative com
missions. We are to have as many Republi
can officers in the city under the tweed char
te', as there were under the system which is
about to be displaced in form, while it is re
turned in substance. 'We are to have the
same number of Republican Supervisors to
shure the plunder of new court house and
Harlem bridua Sobs: we are to have an inter
mixture of Republican Folice Commissioners,
Republican ConHuinsioners of the Central
Tark under a new name, and so on to the end
ot tne long cnapier of city departments
Xuia projugave lwgM had peoa con
before the inglorious flight of
and his skulking adherents on Mon
day, and it was in pursuance of this nndor
standing that Kennedy's police were poured
into and around Tammany Hull on Monday
afternoon and evening, to shut out the Tam
many Committee from their own building,
under a preposterous pretense of keeping the
public peace. The doublo-faced Tweed, who
had sanctioned, nay called, the meeting, was
maURger-in-chief iu this ridiculous stratagem
to prevent its being held. Kennedy, his Re
publican confederate, sent well on to a thou
sand armed policemen to support him in this
disgraceful, cowardly manoeuvre; Everything
Lad been concocted and arranged betwoon the
ring and its Republican allies before the city
clock struck twolve on bunday night. Ken
nedy had been informed of tho alliance be
tween 1 weed and the Republican members of
the JjCgislature.
Ihis corrupt coalition causes all Kopnbli-
cans who have any remaining sonso of de
cency to hang their heads with shame, and
blush from ear to ear. Atter all tho noisy
denunciations of the ring which have re
sounded through their journals, year in and
year out, since the ring came into power, it
is a pretty speectacle indeed to see all thoir
members of the Legislature leaping into the
water to pull up the drowning ring by the
locks, and save its precious, invaluable life!
These Republicans are willing to uproot
the commissions which are their own work,
and have been the theme of their con
stant eulogy, because they find that, by this
means, they can continue thoir partnership
with the Ring, and remain joint Hharers with
it of the city plunder. The J'jcemng J 'out
remonstrated, Wednesday, against this dis
grace; but it preached to the winds. The
coalition had been clinched, and the parties
to it are deaf to argument. It is all bargain
and sale; all hire and salary. The Pout might
as well preach to a hungry ass beginning to
brouso on the succulent cabbage-plants in a
garden, or to a wolf just inserting its fangs
in the quivering tlesh of a lamb, as to tho
Republicans who have just completed this
scandalous bargain with Tweed.
GENERAL GRANT, THE SENATE, AND
THE DOMINICAN TREATY.
From the X. Y. Uerald.
The United States Senate, since the pur
chase of Alaska (481,000 square miles on the
main land and a string of islands which no
man can number stretching clean across the
Pacific Ocean, and all for $7,200,000 in Cali
fornia gold), has become somewhat distrust
f ul of any further investments for the present
in real estate. The Conscript Authors, in
fact, leok upon Alaska, the home of the white
bear, as a white elephant, and not knowing
what to do with bun they don t want any
more elephants, white or black. Hence tho
failure of tho St. Thomas treaty, although
certain volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, aud
tidul waves in that quarter played the mis
chief with the King of Denmark. Even Cuba
appears to have lost its attractions as the
key of the Gulf, and the splendid island of
St. Domingo, rich beyond comparison in all
the riches of the tropics, goes begging in the
Senate, although ollerea lor a song.
tieneral (irant has concluded a treaty with
the Government concerned for the annoxa
tion of the republio of Dominica two-thirds
or more of the island of St. Domingo, the
republio of liayti holding the remainder,
the annexation of .Dominica would be speedily
followed by that of Hayti, thus securing us
the entire island, the possession ot which
would inevitably soon result in tho acquis!
tion of all the surrounding islands, beginning
with Cuba. Moreover, Senator Morton has
shown that in 178!) (when negro slavery was
in full blast there) the productions of St,
Domingo reached tho enormous figure of one
hundred and fifty million dollars per annum,
giving employment to seven hundred vessels
and twenty-seven thousand seamen facts
which sufficiently attest the amazing riches
and capacities of the island. In oar posses
sion this maximum of one hundred and lit ty
millions of products would soon be restored,
In ounce and sugar alone the crops of the
island within ten years would reduce the cost
of coffee throughout the United States to one-
third its present price, and sugar to one-half,
How and why, then, it it that the Senate op
poses this treaty which provides to secure us
this island for a bagatelle (
Mr. Sumner, they say, does not want any
more metiers, lie has nad enougn. un nis
Alabama claims he is looking to the acquis
tion of Canada and the white folks up there;
but he shrinks from Mexico, Cuba, St. Da
miqgo and all those tropical places, because
of the niggers and hybrids of all shades and
crosses which make up their population. We
hud supposed that the fifteenth amendment,
establishing perfect equality of colors and
races, would give us scope and verge enough
to take in everything down to Brazil. But,
then, it appears Mr. Sumner has other objec
Hons to Dominica, such as the unknown debts
of that republic, and upon these, it is said,
the Senate is dead against this treaty.
Just here, however, we have a touch of the
shrewd common sense and far-reaching sa
eacity of General Grant. He proposes that
the Senate shall suspend action upon the
treaty until a competent commission to Do,
minica shall have inquired into all these
objections, and made a straight and specific
contract in dollars and cents. And we can
not believe that this fair proposition will be
disregarded by the senate.
The President s reasons for tne acquisition
of the island we hold to be conclusive. In the
article of sugar (of which the United States
consume seventy-five million dollars' worth)
and in conee and other tropical products ot
Domingo would largely contribute to turn the
General balance of trude in our favor. Then
the laws of Cuba aud Porto Rico being
against our commerce, the possession of St
Domingo is necessary to establish our trade on
a proper footing in the est Indies, aud will
do it. Again, our country has become so im
mense that it needs outposts for military se.
curity against hostile European combinations.
and nowhere do we need a commanding out
post so much as in the Gulf of Mexico. Such
are General Grant's views of the importance
of this Dominican treaty of annexation; and
though obstructed for the present in tho Sen
ate, the proposed acquisition on the geuorai
argument indicated must prevail.
A rillNCE 18 ALSO A MAN.
From the HI. Louiu Democrat
'Hie acquittal of Pierre Bonaparte for the
slaving ot ictor JSoir will cause ureal excite
ment in 1' rauce, no uouoi, but we cannot say
that the trial was an unfair one, or that the
verdict was unjust. Had any prommeut
citizen in this country been so persistently
and violently assailed by a newspaper as tne
royal family in France has been assailed by
the MamcUlake; had tne character of a wife
and the virtue of a sister been publicly dragged
into the controversy; had vile personal abuse
of each and every member of the lamily
attacked been continued so long as to cause a
natural intensity of indignation towards the
parties so conducting a paper; had two of
these parties then waited upon a member of
the family in question, thonuiolvea armed, to
eluded
Tweed
demand a hostile meeting, it is scarcely con
ceivable that hot words and hot doeds would
not have followed. Probably there isnot a jury
in America which would have found a man
guilty of murder for a shot fired under suoli
circumstances, and it would make little differ
ence whether the family whose assailed honor
prompted him to the deed was popular,
wealthy, conspicuous iu publio affairs, or
insignificant. In this country, at least, the
kind of assaults which the coadjutors of
Rochefort have been making upon the Em
press, the Emperor, and the whole Bonapnrte
lamily, would be expected to lead to some
thing besides hot words. Without justifying
him in the least, then, we are forced to admit
that bis acquittal is neither strange, nor
would it have been unlikely had the slayor
been of other than royal family. It ap
peared that tho Trince was noithor a cruel
nor a brutal man; that he was kind to his
dependants and neighbors; that he was fiery
and possionate when his feelings were roused
by insult or injustice; that in this caso he had
been goaded to the most intense feoling by
such insults as have rarely been suffered to
appear in any paper claiming to be decent.
Had not iiiigonie, J-ioius rsapoloon and Pierre
Bonaparte been of the reigning family, not a
solitary creature in all France would have
listened to such language with any other
feeling than indignation and shame. Now
public men, and even monarchs, have some
private feelings. Beneath the crown there
is still a man or a woman, and if
the feelings most common to humanity are
outraged, perhaps the monarch has the same
right to avenge tho wrong that any private
citizen would havo. Thoso who clamored for
the conviction of Tierre Bonaparte wanted
to deny to him an excuse whioh they would
have been prompt to claim for themsolves,
and had ho not been of the royal family, men
would have felt very differently of a shooting
so provoked.
The sober second thought of the French
people, if it ever comes, will condemn for the
slaying of Victor Noir not so much the man
who fired the fatal shot, as the man whose
boundless abuse, indecency, and intempe
rance of language have brought both the
press and the revolutionary party of Franco
lioihefort Blew not
into a certain disrepute.
only Noir, but others, when his unreasoning
behavior brought about a street riot which
had in it neither sense nor object. It is a
bad sign for Franco that men of that sort are
accepted in some sense as leaders and repre
sentatives of the people, and it will be long
before a people who read with avidity black
guardly personal abuse and mistake that for
patriotism, will establish any stable and well,
adjusted free institutions.
"LET THE WAYWARD SISTERS GO IN
PEACE."
From the Raleigh (.V. C.) Standard.
This remark has been attributed to Gene
ral Winfield Scott, when his advice whs soli.
cited in regard to the proposed secession of
the Southern States. But it was determined
by the loyal men of the nation that they
should not go. And alter a desperate struggle
the territory was reclaimed, the true men of
the South advised and assisted to restore re
publican forms of government. And the aid of
all others, with but few exceptions, solicited
in tho patriotic enterprise. After a long
struggle, with varying fortunes, govern
ments were at length erected in the boutheru
States, and the Constitutions adopted by
large majorities, approved by the representa
tives of tho people in Congress assembled,
But there was the most bitter hostility
evinced against these acts of tho
Republican party, and here in the South,
from tho riots at Memphis, New Orleans,
Mobile, Richmond, and Savannah, down to
the present time, the more desperate portion
ot those who hate the (ieneral uovernment
have signalized that hatred by the perpetra
tion oi outrages ot a most flagrant character
upon the persons and property of loyal citi
zens for the purposes of revengo as well as
of intimidation. The story of their deeds in
North Carolina is the story of their deeds in
other States. And they have but one end in
view, the subjection of true men to their
will and a repossession of office, place, and
power, whence they can embarrass tho Gene
ral Government, destroy tho national crodit,
glonly the lost cause, reduce the negroes to
peonage, and hold their own again with lofty
heads despite the results of the war or of
future consequences.
it has been only eighteen months smoe
they moved for the utter annihilation of the
Southern State Governments. Foiled in this,
they now attempt to cot control of the ma
chinery of those Governments, under the
fulscst pretenses, and with the coolest effron
tery. In their hands the State Governments
will be annihilated, destroyed and rebelized,
It is the old wolf in the skin of another
sheep, which it hos just slaughtered.
Shall the wayward sisters go? Will the
Congress stand by and see Its work pulled to
pieces, in violation of the final terms of the
settlement? We believe that it will not, but
a strange apathy seems to have fallen upon
that body it makes haste to do some things,
and leave undone others, while the impending
danger thicken, and the whistle of a klau of
murderers floats on every breeze under all
the night skies of the Southern heavens. We
do not wish to use force, but when force is
used, it mnst be met with force. We do not
wish to retaliate, but we should certainly do
so if attacked and maltreated, and hold to re
sponsibility a life or a limb as worthy as ours,
and as dear to others as these precious gifts
are to ourself and to our friends.
When this Ku-Klux organization is dis
solved and exposed to the infamy which it
merits, then the moderate men of the other
party will be welcomed into power, if it be
their fortune, by generous foes, after a fair
contest, in which truth shall be left free to
combat error. Then the halcyon days of
chivalric difference will be restored; but so
long as moderate men, as they call them
selves, remain in the same ranks with mur
derers and assassins, they cannot hope for
either confidence from us or from the General
Government. Time and time again they have
been put forward as figure-heads, but when
in the fulfilment of settled purposes the hour
to strike a blow arrived, they were set aside,
and the arm of their most extreme and de,
structive associates appeared to deal that
blow, coming forth as the power from behind
the throne, which is more mighty than the
throne itself.
Let the wayward sisters go. No, gentle.
men, they will never co. And though it
may seem that the question of the immortal
Webster, who exclaimed, "Who shall restore
the shattered columns of constitutional lib.
ertv ?" vet remains but half answered, still
we believe that those columns will be re.
stored by the hands of those who love the
temple, whose front it is their plaoe to
adorn, and in whose halls the consecrated
fires of liberty burn upon the altars of our
country.
