Wc trust we have seen the want, and we think we have; we do not expect to find business improving very fast, but feel certain that things are going to mend up slowly. This is true especially of Baltimore, which has a large and growing jobbing trade from the .South ern States. As to the business in New York, the following statement conies from a reliable source: The jobbing and commission houses nearly all report a large increase of or ders, not only from the Northwest, but also from New Kngland and the South ern States on the Atlantic seaboard. The Texas steamers continue to take out as much merchandise as they can carry, and if the pestilence should spare that part of the country the demand upon them will be continued until late in the season. Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk are also liberal purchasers.

Mr. Horace White was then called bv the committee, and stated that he had studied the financial question, and had paid a great deal of attention to it when he waa a journalist and since he retired from journalism, lie thought that the present commer cial criws is only one of a series that have occurred among nations for the past 200 years, which have been preced ed by rampant speculations. In 1573 he thought that speculators in railroads had a great deal to do with causing the de pression which existed. There was enormous speculation in land ail over the country. Prices of real estate multi plied beyond anything in the recollec tion of the witness. Obligations incur red by the building of these railroads and the purchase of real estate caused manv parties to become insolvent. Tho condition of tbe currency bad not in creased this state of thing*, witness thought. He found that these periods of crises came uj>on nations, no matter whether their currency was gold or pa per. The speculative era which existed from 1569 to 1873, witness thought, had something to do with the present condi tion of affairs. Accumulation of capital acting upon the sanguine temperaments of a certain race of people would pro duce a speculative era. Over produc tion by machinery bad contributed to tbe depression in business by produc ing more than there was a demand for, and prices consequently fell according ly. He did not think that the introduc tion of machinery had induced this spec ulative era, and the collapse which fol lowed it. He did not think a protective tariff would raise the wages of the laboring man. Business bad been greatly injur ed by protection and be would be better off under free trade laws. A limitation of tbe hours of labor should not be made the subject of legislation, as that would be in direct contradiction of the func tions of the government. Regarding a removal of our surplus population from eastern cities to public lands in the west aitness thought that the surplus popu lation could not be drawn there with a yoke of oxen, and even if once drawn ihere tbey would not be content. C harles Francis Adams, of Massachu setts, was then called. It was his opin ion that legislation could not help or remedy the present business depres sion. Charles Frederick Adams, a lawyer, was tbe next witness and proposed as a remedy for the present distress a mu tual assurance system against non-em ployment. Tbe present hard times are the result of the protective tariff and in flation of currency. Adjourned. There seem* to have been an exaggev •led idea prevalent as to the number of men out of employment in the United States. A canvass has been made is Mas sachusetts by the bureau of statistics, with gratifying results. The population of towns canvassed amounts to 1,651.912, of towns not canvassed. 77,459. In nineteen cities there are 4,44 i) skilled and 7.096 un skilled laborers, and in the 325 towns 4,120 skilled and 5,557 unskilled laborers. The number of unemployed males amounts, therefore, in the entire state, so far as heard from, to 21,812. Adding 30 per cent for females, which according to the last census, is the relativo "propoilion of the sexes engaged in industrial pursuits, brings the number up to 25,508. This in cludes some 8,000 operatives in Kail l iver where several large mills were closed in consequence ot tbo rascalities of their ofli cer, and are now running again. Assum ing. however, tbt th% number of tha un employed in Massachusetts is actually 28,008, or two per cent, of the population, and that this u fair average ol the whole country, then, out of the 40,000,000 in the United States not over MOO,OOO are unem ployed workmen, and it it believed (tak ing into consideration that outside of New Kn gland, New York.

The state expenditures under re publican control were for that year sl,- 332.353—0r about thirty-three cents for each individual, Who dare defend this amazing robbery of the people ? But an increase of population is not a just basis for an increase of government al expenditure, for the same official ma chinery that will govern three millions of people w ill equally well govern five millions, with only slight additions to the number of local officers, a few addi tional clerks, some increase of courts, etc. No more governors or departments of government existed in 1878 than in 1859, but 118 members were added to tho legislature by the constitution of 1573, and L: that no particular party is responsible. The increase of cost, how ever, by that addition should have been only trifling. Stripped of all necessary explanation then, we hare the fact staring the peo ple, the taxpayers, broadly in the face that IT COSTS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AND Ail Air AS Ml 1 11 TO COXDUCT THE STATE COVERS MUTT INTER REruBLICAX AS IT does under democratic kite 11 In other •words, as the state government need not cost innch over $.'179,05M, as heretofore demonstrated by democratic administra tion.the present republican administra tion literally rota the people of the immmu mm "f nearly one million of ih.llart annu ally. 'i'ho fignres we give are from the offi cial record and they can not be dodged or explained awny. There they stand beyond the power of contradiction, or excuse, or extenuating circumstance. They clearly show the annual robbery that is perpetrated upon the people. Do the people so well like to pay taxes that they will continue the republicans in power? I)othey like to be robbed by tbe million ? Or will they prefer honest rule and economical expenditure ? If the people want to continno the ex travagant Cameron-republican rule they will effect their object by voting for Hoyt ami thus keep the same cormor ant* in power that have Wen gnawing their vitals, wasting their substance and oppressing and grinding them to the earth for years. liut if the people want honest and frugal state government, which shall not take from them their substance and shall leave them to the comfortable en joyment of all their righto and all that belongs to them, tbey must vote for An drew H. Dill, the democratic state ticket and democratic members of tbe legisla ture. The democratic party, if successful at the next election, will be under bonds to administer the government in the most frugal manner that efficiency will permit. If it does not do this it will lie promptly hurled from official place, for it is upon this pledge that it will come into power. It therefore will not dare to fail in this matter of thorough reduc tion in expenditures. Hut if the republican party shall again be successful it will be a license to steal an endorsement and approval of ex travagant expenditure, a positive injuno tion to go on and spend all that is |K>ssi blc and steal all that is left.' That is the issue—the people will decide. i.ei us recapitulate, that the under standing may not be clouded: Total amountof discretionary ex penditures under democratic ad ministration for one year. Total amount of expenditure for aame purposes for one year un der republican rule. 11,332,383 The people can put a stop to thia ex tortion, orolllgacy and theft only by voting against the men who perpetrate it. 4. greenback orpan of Philadelphia, called th Rational, Ims failed after an existence of ninety days.

Wbat is called the American colony in ; Paris comltts of about two thousand fami [ lies, a Urge proportion of them from lbs J South. A great many of them might be i regarded almost as permanent rasidsnts. A goodly number of tbcui are people o! limited meant, who find that they can live so much chopper here than in au Ameri can city that tuey have concluded to stay. One of these remarked to me to-day : "1 ran live better in l'aris on #j,OUU per an num thsn I could in New York on S6,OU). " | Ho then proceeded to detail the difference ! In New York he woyld kg c**tdeJ al nobody unless he owned or rented a] brown-stone bouso at from $4,000 to SO,- vol) per annum. Here be could obtain a tulle of elegant apartments, in a lasbiona hie neighborhood, at from \U sl,U(' per annum, and make as good au appear ance a* any one else in bit sphere. In New-York he would have to pay $lO per week for a coachman, while hers he could engage a landau, with a line pair of horses and a liveried footman thrown in, to be always at the reasonable call of his family for #l2 to sls per w.ek. Then he said W could clothe himself and family si one-1 half '.hp ctptinfji as-s much htist than he could ip New-York, tpat rvsnt hire was not half the cost, and the irrrics^bsttsr; that there were always amusements here at moderate cost, aud a cab at call to lake him and family home at all flours of the night for two francs ; while in New-Y'ork such a luxury would cost $- f >. Then there was little or none of the troubles of house keeping in Paris, at a family can be fed j cheaper than it can feed itself, if satisfied with French Hying. But, ho remarked, an American can never feel contented or comfortable in Parii until he goes to housekeeping and orders his own food, and prescribe* the node of cooking it. A Frenchmen love* the table d hcto, but it is au abomination* to tbe American. At toon a* they get un-1 dbr their own roofs fbey a)l f!l l%ck to, the American mode of living, and luxuri-! ate in griddle cake*, muffin*, hot roll* and buckwheat cake*, all of which a Parisian! would regard a poison. They exercise! the horrible French pattlei, roast aad stuff their chickens instead of broiling or frying them, serve up their salad without oil, and let those who love oil oil it ; they eat their peat and beans and potatoes with their meat, and mix things generally just as tbeT did at home. They know exactly vehat they are rating, and no longer shut their eyes and swallow whatever is givea them, without knowing very often wbelh cr It is fish. flesh or fowl. When an American gets under his own roof he 1 s al ways happy in Paris, and ths ladies es pecially become attached to it In short he maintained that an income of $3,000 per annum would enable a man here to keep bis family in a* good a position in polite society as could be done at a cost of slo,* 000 in New-York; that there were certain expenses necessary to position that were nut required hera, and that a fine showing can be made off of a limited purse. —Letter to Baltimore American.

The members of Ihe Reformed end Lutheran Sunday school, at St. John's church, near Farmer's Mills, held their { annual pic-nic, Saturday, Augusts The order of exercises aas as follows: School met at the church and formed a line headed by the Farmer's Mills Cornet Band, discoursing fine music ; they march ed to the beautiful grovo near tho church, in which no pains had been spared to make it pleasant and comfortable. Upon arriv ing at this place, prayer was offered by Hue. Boeder, followed by the school sing ing an appropriate opening piece. Short but pleasing addresses were made by Rer{. Fischer end Boeder, and Messrs. Grove, Weaver end Krepe. The addresses wore interspersed with music by the school and band. Tho singing by the school was ac companied by an organ, presided over by Prof. J. F. Ucarick, which he did in a masterly stylo. The conclusion of these exercises was the school singing Old Hun dred, tho Wand and organ joinlitg in the same. Next in order was dinner, a vary large table loaded from end to end with eatables fit for a king, showed that the la dios wore willing to respond and do their duty in providing such a bounteous supply to strengthen tho inner man.

Washington, Auguat IB.—The recent decision of Uis Attorney General In re* gard to jmU'nts seems to hare been pret ty rurally misunderstood, and to have cnuned raore alarm and annoyance to parties interested iu patent privileges tliun there was any occasion for. The opinion is almuty to the effect that where a patent Is applied for and grant ed to aeveral individual*. all of whom had signed the application papers and made oath of joint inventorship, when as a matter of fart the Invention was rondo by hut one of the parties, the patent In absolutely void ana cannot be rendered valid by any subsequent action! of tho parties or of the Patent Office, It 1 was issued originally npon false suggest ti n of joint in vonUirsbip, and wheuier this occurred through accident or design tho defect Is equally a fatal one, aud cannot be cured by any amended grant setting forth the true relations of the wevt-ral patentees. The opinion is noth ing more than a rule of conduct to gov ern tho future action of the Patent Office in regard to this class of caseo, and in nowise reflects upon the title for or validity of patents wherein assignees be fore the grant are joined as such with the inventor as parties in interest in the patent.
