The Price or Gold. Gold is an article
of mechandise and it has been nothing else
for a Ion:? time is fur a variety of seasons
sympathising with the prevailing financial
depression. No doubt the heavy disburse
ment from the Treasury of last month and
the still heavier disbursement which will be
made on the first of the next month in all
about thirty-eight millions of dollars are
influential in depressing the price of gold.
Bat then there are other reasons. Thi con
fidence which followed in the public mind
the disposal of the impeachment question,
andthe certainty that Congress will have
a policy framed to stimulate economy and
thrift, are lively elements in the case. But
we suspect that diminished importations
and increased exportation an accidental
approach to one feature of protection have
pkyed an important part in sending down
the price of gold. Usual y cheap gold stim
ulated importation ; but the present instance
there are counterbalancing influences. The
crash of foreign houses in Now York has
upset for a moment tha importing trade, cut
oif the demand for duties and exchange
whereby there has been left on tho hands of
the speculators a much larger amount of gold
than they could carry. The price of gold
necessarily declined rapidly on a sharp grade
nearly thirty per cent in ten days. It is
gratifying to perceive that the advance in
the price of our bond abroad has been at
almo-tt a corresponding rate. Nor is there
anything to thow that the limit has been
reached.
Progressing Finely. Reconstruction
under the Congressional plan is progressing
eo finely, notwithstanding all the hindrances
interposed by the President and his suppor
ters, that the expectation is confidently in
dulged that next July will witness all the
States again represented in the national
ClapitoL With tViis consummation m view
it is now proposed that, the National Re
publican Convention s-hall not be held till
that date, in order that all the States may
be represented in that bdy. Henee, recon
struction will be accomplished before the
Presidential campaign shall fairly open;
and an issue on that question will be avoid
ed. The U. S. Debt. The New York Xa
tion calls attention to the fact that the in
debtedness of the United States is not enly
a far lighter debt than the English have
borne unflinchingly for a hundred years, but
is "a far lighter debt than the Dutch have
bore without a murmur for two hundred
years without extraordinary resources, with
out increase of population ; and without any
great political future. They have never
sought to wriggle out of it, or evade it, or
twist the letter of their own laws for theeon
iusion of those who trusted them. There
has been no great party among them in favor
of any such dodge or device."
SnERKAN. The Washington Chronicle
says : General Sherman is the observed of
all observers. He visited both houses of
Congress, and was called upon by members
and Seuators, without distinction of party.
Ha does not conceal his political opinions,
and says if the Copperheads were not pleas
ed with his St. Louis speech they will be no
less satisfied when he talks again. He scouts
the idea of General Hancock consenting to
become the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent. All the Southern States, except Texas,
have already called their Conventions. One
of them Alabama has formed her Con
stitution and will vote upon its ratification
on February 4th, electing at the same time
the State officers, Legislature and Congress
men. There is no doubt at all ot the result
of a popular verdict. The Constitution will
be adopted by an overwhelming majority,
and Alabama will be ready to be admitted
into Congress again immediately after.
place,
Chicago has been fixed on as the
ana tne -urn or iay next as the time, at
which will be held the Republican National
Convention for the nomination of a Presi
dential ticket. It is calculated that by that
time the Southern States will be in a condi
tion to participate.
Secretary McCulloch says the expendi
tures for the fiscal year ending June ISth,
1869 will amount to $372,000,000, of which
the interest on the public debt will amount
to $129,676,073.

Grant in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia loyal league, an impor
tant auxiliary to the Republican organiza
tion in Pennsylvania, and an embodiment of
the active sentiment of the party in that
city, have adopted a resolution presenting
Grant as the Republican candidate for Pres
ident. We are assure t that "the resolu
tion was carried ami 1 cheers, and with an
enthusiasm that amounted to acclamation."
The annual election was then held, and on
a full vore it resulted in the choice of oili
cers in full sympathy with this movement.
The I'dlowiug is the concluding part of the
Annual Report of the League:
A time is close at hand when the test will
a:rain be applied to our patriotism, and
wheu we shall know whether or n t our
State has been in reality lost to th Union
party. That test will be the coming Presi
dential campaign, towards which we should
even now turn with an interest equal
to the vast issues that will be involved in
t'e result. The excitement, the distrust,
the insecurity that pervades the whole so
cial and political system of our country a
condition of things daily increased by the
weak, bad man in the Presidential chair,
and his intrigueing advisers should be al
layed by tome permanent reorganization of
the Southern States, and some iutellig.-nt
administration of our national finances. The
health of tlio country demands repose, and
opportunity fur developing its internal ro
sources, under a wise fostering system, that
will at once increase domestic industry arid
shut out foreign competition. Who doubts
tnat with our time-honored principles,
sanctified as they have been by the blood of
our people again and again approved as
they have been, in the seclusion of the mo
ralist's study, amidst the jar and passion of
general elections, and by tho calmer philo
sophical verdict of our watchful friends a
broad, who doubts that we shall once more
issue triumphantly from the contest? In
that trust we shall continue, following as
perhaps we may to new victories the leaders
chosen by our martyred President, tlu
champion of our faith in the embattled field,

Mercantile Failures The e;T.;et of
the continued depresson in mercantile busi
ness is beginning to appear. Weak houses-,
have been straining themselves to the ut-1
most in the hope of bridging the dull sea- '
fctou. uvi How, hi many tovvi1 uud
tumbling. The Dry O'owU Jeorcr, v;iicli
is generally good authority in matters per
taining to its speciality, declares that the
suspensions of the last few weeks, in the
mercantile line aggregate nearly twenty
million dollars. In addition to the suspen
sions there have been many compromises
between debtors and creditors, and there
have also been exien.-ionsof paper that couid
not be met at maturity. How far will this
state of things go? is now the question ot
vita! concern among the merchants'. One
failure generally injures several other estab
lishments. The mercantile community
is something like a child's play-house of
sticks when one tumbles it strikes another,
and in this communication of the falling
force there is danger of a general smash.
However, there is no serious apjirehnsion
of a "crash" such as we had ten years a?o.
In fact, there is no element of gcnoia! busi
ness disaster in the present financial situa
tion. The finances of the country were nev
er sounder than now, money is com j urative
iy easy, "and productive industry is in thrifty
condition, it, is only the weak connorns
that are in danger. Three or four years a
go, when merchants grew rapidly rich by the
appreciation of goo N, new business Louses
sprung up 11!;;' mushrooms, wi'lnut any re
gard to thesolidity of the foundation. Li a
ses were taken ut extravagant lentaK a:id
everything else was done on an extravagnt
basis. The test ha? now come, and that
class of concerns are "found wanting." Sol
id and prudent business men are not suffer
ing1. The latter had forcsL lit enough to
understand that a reaction was sure to fol
io w the abnormal prosperity that existed
during the war, and they prepared for i lie
storm by seasonably taking in their sails.
Tho present depression will weed out the
bu.due.-.s houses that were built upon the
sand, and the spring will ptobably open
with a solid and healthy business prosperity.

Wc do not wish to nurse the bitterness of
those sad years, but there is so savage a dis
regard of the feelings of the loyalists of the
country in this act, that it calls for an in
dignant protest. It is not that the misgui
ded men who now lie there peacefully enough
are our enemies in death, or that we send
our hatred after them to the grave; we do
not mean this, nor is it of this that we com

injustice done to our heroes, in associating
them in their long rest with the man and

Southern Unionists. A private letter
written from Mobile contains the following:
"There arc so many misrepresentations a
float as to the character and designs of the
Southern Unionist, that some effort should
be made to correct them. The position of
loyal men here is still a trying one. They
are stigmatized as socialists, enemies to
their own race, &c, and if they venture to
come out openly in favor of reconstruction
on the Congressional plan, their business is
run down and their families neglected, so
that many, very many, who might other
wise be relied on for active aid, deem pru
dence the better part of valor. I could give
you many particulars, but have not time."

all Parts of the World.
In 1855, on the 7th day of October, the Daily
Telegraph was first projected by the present pro
prietor, and we need not tell our readers that
great doubts existed in the minds of many of our
friends of our ability to sustain the same, with
the limited means at command, but the Telegraph
to-dry bears abundant testimony that it is a per
manent institution of the Capital city.
The size of the daily is to-day twice as large
as when we started the same, and we should not
be surprised if we are compelled acain to enlarge
it before the close of the present volume. It is
now the largest daily published outside of the
commercial cities in the State.
