Lqually ncceplable, perhaps, to the West Side consumers of gay, is the great improvement in the quality of the article furnished, A Massachnsetts preacher, the lev.

The yearly average of liabilities to cach failure in these years aro thus given: Efgbtoen hundred and soventy, £22,215 1872, $10,2; 1673, $44,0 447 1934, 20, 378, $24 0, ‘Ihe whole numberof persons on the books of the agoncy doing business in the United States is 630,000; aond the number of fail- ures, 7,740, is equal to onein every eighty.two bonses doing busivess, The increaso in the aggregnto of linbilities Is not generaily dis. tributed. In round numbers, the increase in tlio amount of liabilitios of the failing houses, a4 compnred with 1274, may be thus stated : California, threo millions; Colorado, oue million; Georgis, four-and-a-half millions; Indiana, two-nad-a-balf millions; Kentueky, two millions; AMaryland, eight-and-a-half millions; Massachusotts, soventeen millions ; Nevada, one million; New York (Stato), ono million ; New York City, soventeen millions; Rhiode Island, five millions; South Caro- lion, one million; Virginin and West Virginia, onc-and-s-balf 1millions, In other States the iuncrease of linbilities was less thao n million ench, while in Arkangay, Dolnwore, Florida, Tows, Kausas, Louisionn, Michignn, Mississippi, Nebraskn, Now Jeracy, Ohio, Pennsylvanin, Tonnessco, and Wisconsin, thera was a positive decrense, ‘Thin increaso in Massachusetts is largely due to the continued strikes, that in Maryland to losses in the sugur refinevies, in California to tha failure of Ranston's bank. Nevada and Colorado havo not been herotofore reported, An cxplanation is given that in the case of o paniv, as iu 1857 and 1873, the first effects aro felt by the lary stablishments,—those having the largest linbilitios,—ana tho nverngo amount of liability to the fuiluro is large; as in 1857 the averngo linbility was 859,000, and in 1838 $22,000, ond in 1850 17,000 ; 50 in 1878 the nverage linbility was 311,000, in 1874 26,000, and in 1875 £95,000. The lnrger debtors ave carried down first, and the others, tho wora numerous cluss, who escope tho first fury of tho storm, nud owa less, fail after a sieason of hard utruggle, Tho increase in the number of failures, thorefore, is not by itself an indication that failures nra be- coming moro general, Thus, in Peunsylvanin tho linbilities of the failings in 1873 way F31,445,000, and in 1874 waa $84,711,000, and in 1875 was only 18,247,000, while the number of faillures was about the sawo in ench year. Tha compnrative figures for Illi- unois are somewhat curious ; Aversgn Falures, Lisbilitics, Hatiity, U BT 0 g Year. TR RTINS 112 05 0,000 0 B4 o seen that in faot tho yenr 1872 wad moro disastrons in Illinois than was the panis year of 18 ‘I'lhis perhaps wns somo. what duo to the great fire which took place in 1871; but, while the number of failures hins iucrensed, the nverngo liability bas de- creased. The nverage linbility of the failuren in New York City in 1873 was $149,843, while in 1876 it was only $51,709, Lstimating that tho persons failing had paid 10 per cent for advance on original cost of goods 5old to tham, and thet the avernge yield of failed estates Is one-third, the uctunl loss'to enpital by tho fallures of the yuar s put down at $120,000,000, This represents a large por cent of the profit of the goueral trade of tho conntry, OQut of the somowhat gloomy tallo of vo. gults, thera is drawn one result which, in the estimato for the future, is considered hopetul ond promising; Lhis cousideration is, that tho nctive surplus or eapital cwployed in the weroantile trade of the country hos been shown to L in larger proportion to tho ex. tent of busmeis done, and to the amount of existiug liobilitles, thon at any timo in the provious Listory of the country, und is, it is beleved, in excess of that of \auy other coun- try iu the world Laving n proportionate ex- tent of iuterncl trado, It lLas been the pres. ence of this swplus capital fu Lusiness that Uas preserved the trada from greater disnster, sud whick bos enabled thousuuds to prevent losses, even when there was no proit, In the weanthue, retrenchwout in priveto and busiugss expenditure, loavoued indubtoduoss, and close scrutiny of credits, are considered wise precautions, Dat thero aro tore substantlal grounds for expecting nn incresse of profitable trade. As wa move on from tho poriod of the ponic, we hiavo less of the results of that disnster. The fnilures of 1876 will be less duo to tho cols lapso of 1873 than those of 1873 and of 1874. Tho retrenchment in personal expenditures during the Inst two years lns crippled the Americon manufacturer by reducing the number of cuslomers in the only market where Amoriean goods could bo rold. 'This hins reduced production, and left Iabor unem- ployed. There is a promiso now that our manufacturers have scen the fraud and folly of depending for profit upon tha protective tariff ; that {hey will hereafter seck the markets of tho world for tho salo of their fabrics. With a restoration of round values, and n reduction of the cost of production, there'is mo renson why the manunfneturors of Ameriean cotton, irom, lenther, nnd a large number of other lines of goods, mny mot find a permanent market in other lands, nnd thus swell the ag- gregato value of exported manufactures to n snumequaling thnt of our ngricultural products. When onr mamufacturers can export their goods nt a profit, then they will have control of the home market moro nbsolutely thnn is possiblo under a protective tariff. The crops of 1875 hinve been large and bountiful, The Western States aro filled with money as they havs'uever boen for years, Thero has been during 1874 ond 1875 n large payment of mortgages on farms and lands,—payments made out of the surplus profits of the farms, This oxplains why the nggregato wholesnla trade of Chicago—n trade dircctly with the farming States and districts—wns much greater in 1875 than in any preceding year, uotwithstanding the fact that prices wero greatly reduced. Money wna plenty, not in the s¢nso of inflation, but thero had boen a Inrgo surplus produced, which had been sold at fair prices, and the producers had tho pro- ceeds with which to purchaso for cash all ar- ticlos thoy needed. THE NATIONAL CORTEDERATE CORVEN- TION, Chicengo, nfter a closo contest, failad to se. cure the National Convention of the Union party, but her prospects for the Confedernte Couvention seem to be good. Taunxay and TMexNprices are underitood to have joined forces to secure the solection of St. Louis; Lut it is belioved that the lack of railway. commuunication, hotel-sccommodation, ete., will snve the delegates the necessity of spend. ing their timo nmid the sluggish mozotony of St. Louis life, Chicago is the second choico of TiLoryN, whoze flrst is, of course, New TYork ; and Davio Davis, who stil hides Pres- idential awbition under the robes of aJustice of the United States Supreme Court, would like to seco the Convention hers, The vote of tho South, in this, os in everything clse, is the determining elemont of Democratic discnssions, so that the city favored by tho Southorn oandidate is most likely to bo successful, Tho decision will not Lo ado until Feb, 15, so that all the candie dates havo plenty of timo to make bargains for the delivery of the Southern vote. Itis not unlikely that TiLpaw will win, at Ieast in the preliminary trades, and that the superl. ority of Chicago over all other American cities will bo duly recognized. There are soveral rensons why the Confed. crates should enjoy holding their Convention hore. Those of them who were ongaged in the Caxp Douglas conspirnoy can meet soma of their collengues in that gallant attempt to turn loose o Ganfederate army in tho hoart of tho Union. Our Csnren and Bridgeport's Baexey can tako Bex Hmt down to tho site of tho old camp and refresh thoir memories, 50 sadly weak, on the condition of affairs there during tho War. Both the swallow- tnils and short-hairs will find congonial com- poavions, The former will moet o fow disappointed ex-Republicans who have ro- contly enrolled themselves in tho Democratio ranks, aud sowe of the old stagors who make tho spoeches here, whilo the rank nnd file of the party kold office nnd stenl the money. As for the short-hairs, what endless pleasures open before them. They have but to visit the Dean Club to bo taught shrowder ways of getting rich than oven Now York yot runa. Any particular frionds of Tweep who come out will doubtless be hospitably entertained by Mr. Peptorar. What more can any short. hair want ? I'ho Exposition Building waits for the Con. vention; our hotels are prepured to accom- modate nny number of delegates nnd other attendants; and if they come, no mattor in what number, or from what section, they will discover that great ns aro our monans of entertainment, they will not exceed our hos. pitality. Let the Democrats come, ox-Con- federates and all, TEWARDS OF VICE. Thero wos o curious trial nt Boston last ‘Tucsdsy. Isxao I Frormnauay wasbrought beforo a United States Commissloner on the charge of embezzlement in the Post-Ofico of the Hub. Part of the testimony is of genoral interest, and seoms to show thut the rocent removal of BurLew's man, Bunt, from the Tostmastership, was a good thing for tho to- beereformed Civil Servico of the country. "Tho report of the ovidenco shows that Hexnx 8. Apasy, Cashicr, testified that, *in the spring of 1874, while the Post-Offico was in the Old South Church, they commonced to receivo postal-cards; that shortly theroafter 125,600 wero missed, and that witness, Mr, Fuommivauas, and Mr, Doxycr (another clerk), agreed to pay thp value'of them, which amounted o some 1,250, by paying 80 much per month ; that Mr. Dosyer's snl- ary was raised $20 o mouth, Mr, Froruiya- uax’s §15, end witness' $300 a year, for the purpose of cnnbling thom to pay for tho cards,” After this, nothing more coan bo enid about avy ingratitude of this Repub. lie towardy its employes. Ono clerk stoals 125,000 postal-enrdy ; threo clerks ugree to make the consequent deficit of 21,250 all right ; and their,salarics are theroupon raised in ordor to cnable them to doso, Siuce the nation thus generously gave the friends of the thicf—whoever Le may have bueen—the mouey which they subsequently returned to the nation, the profit of the transaction does not clearly nppear, It would have Leen quite a3 chenp, uud, iu fact, mugh cheaper, to have simply condonod the thoft, and said to tho thiuf : ** My denr sir, you renlly ought uot to act in this way, but your services in pull. ing wires and superintonding caucuses and occasionally stufitng o ballot-box, are so valuable to your political patron, that your employers, the peopls of tho United Btates, will keep you in oflico a8 n reward for thuse efforts, and will allow you ta stend any small siuny from time to time.” This would have beon chenper than the method of raising sal uries, for under the latter tho increased pay contiunes after enough of it bas been returned to make up the deficit. In grateful recognl. tion of the gallantsy of the Loaton clerk in | stonling 91,250, the United States has al. rondy given Mesars. Apasts, FroTHINGRAM, and DoxxET over 21,400 of oxtra pay, and is probably paying them ot this rate now, It is really too expensivo to establish this precedent of raising tho snlary of any Gov- ernment employe who stenls himself, or con- nives at somebody clso’s stealing. The pre. mium s too nlluring. Thore would be too many entries for it. And as the incressed pay is in proportion to the theft, nnd ns the nverago theft is constantly growing larger, Tersistence in this policy wonld tond to bank- rupt the country. It wonld tnke severa! ‘nillions of dollms to thus sudably refvard Messrs. Jover, and McDoxato, The resources of tho Treasury might be soverely taxed by the claims of o single Indian Agent. On the swhole, we cannot upprove of the plan pur. sued in the Beston Post-Office, It offers too much gucourngement to the thonghtful thief. THE OATR OF ALLEGIANCE. Tho House Judiciary Committes hai Leon considering the expediency of repenling the test oitl, Ono of the Democratic membors of tlio Comipittoe proposes a now form of the modified pledge nowlaken by ex-Rebels. It sees this is too much for the delicate con- scicnco of the average Confederato, 1o takes it n3 ho somatimes does castor-oil,—because ho must; but ho likes it not at all. It is gravely suggesated that horenfter he should be cnlled upon only to say, *Iawenr'to support the Constitution of the United States,” with- out any referenco to the Union or to mental reservations. ‘This is one of a whole bundle of straws that show which way tho wind ia Ullowing at Washington, Ez-Gov. Vaxce introduces a bill to indemnify Robel losers *in the late war botween the Stotes.” Senntor Gompoy presents rosolu- tions brimming over with State-Rights doc. trino, though the particular right of sccession is prudently disavowed. Caucuses of Con- federato soldiers aro held to dictato tho adoption of mensures in honor of Jerr Davis to the Congress of the Union. Bry Hiwr, ex-Confedorate Sonator, graclously pardoned o fow short months ngo, comes from the stump in Georgin, where Lo hns been thrent. ening war in caso of Republican success in 1870, procisoly as ho threatened it in cnse of such an ovent in 1860, and proclaims that tho South fought in obedience to the Constitn. tion, and that it now proposes to carry out peacenbly at Washington the identical prin- ciples for which it struggled on Virginianbal. tle-ficlds, And now this armendment to the oath is proposed. What docs it mean? 1t moans that tha United States ia to recog- nize the very right of seccssion which it triumphantly combatted between 1861 and 18G5, at thv cost of millions of money and handreds of thousands of lives, It menns that men who are unwiling to support tho Union are to be nllowed to take high offico under the Union. It means that the prepara. tions made by Frorp and other traitors bo- foro the outbrenk of tha Reballion, by means of their positions in tho Government of the United States, are to bo safely re. peated whenover o host of imperi- ous Confedorates think ‘that n second revolt is likely to bo more successful than tha first. It means that the declaration meade two or three days ngo by the Confedarate organ at Washington, to the effeat that secas- slon was and is one of the * reserved rights ™ of the States, is to bo solemnly indorsed by dropping from the onili auy obligation to do anything moro than to obey any omeof o myrind ways of interproting tho Constitu. tion. Vox Howst says. in his * Constitutional History of the United States,” that necessity is **the mother, not only of invention, but of tho interpratation of constitutions.” If the officinls of tho United States, from the Presi- dent to a Ganger, aro bound only to obey any theory, however fanciful, of constitutional rights and duties, political necessity will bring forth some wonderful bits of interpretation, until we shall finally como face to face with the paradox that the Constitution of the Union is nn instrument designed to furnish a safo and speedy mothod of destroying the Union. When the Republicon members of the Judiciary Committee proposed to make tho oath rend: *‘I swear io support the Constitution of the United States and the Union," Ppoctor Kvorr snid, nccording to tho Associated Press report, that bis party *would never ngreo”™ that tho italicized words should be ndded. Wo nre incl'ned to think that, if this is correet, tho peopla will naever ogroo that a party which refuses to swear to support the Union shall ever rule tho Union., THE VATIOAN AND EDUCATIOR, Tha real issuo between the Vatican and tho world upon the question of education is vory clearly brought out in 2 letter recently published in Franoe, writton by Monsignor the Bishop of Montpellior to the Deans and Professors of the Faculties of Montpeliier, nnd bearing date Dec, 8, 1876, In this letter tho Bishop enys : Now, gontlcmen, the Iloly Church holds herself to ba fuvested with thae aiolute right to teach mankind ; stie hohls hieruelf (o La tho depoaltary of the truth— not & fragmentary truth, fucomplote, a wixture of certaloty and healiation, but the fotal truib, completo, from a religlous point of view.

He says in a letter to the Lon. don Zmess Liberty ls s £1s word, fyrauny » hateful oge, and Lotk buve Leen eloquently employed of 1ats fu re wuce 10 the dusliags of tho secular arm with the pro- tentious of the Vaticsu, Dut “liberty " hos two mu- tually excluve wmesulogs—ibe Nberty of Kowo to teach wankind, wud the Liverty of the bumsn Face, Neither teconoilement nov compromive s possivle bers, Ous Tty or tho other must ko doww. Thla, Lu our day, Is the ¥ contlict * s Smpreastvely described by Drarxy, io which every thoughtful wan must lake o parky It iv well that the leyue npon the Vatican side has been thus clearly and unmistakebly made, and the Bishop or Montpoellier is en- titled to credit for his sincerity and honesty o making it. It shows to tho advocates and frionds of popular and nusectarian education tho exact oharncter of the contost in which they are likely to be involved, and that it i o contest which doos not admit of com- promiso. It imust be settled either that Rotne controls or does not control the sehool, aud it does not admit of doubt that tho ques- tion will ba settled in tho negative. The contest .may be a flerco one in some parta of Europe, but in tho United States it will bo short and deeisive, Wherever it is pre. cipitated tho Vatiean will find itaelf confront. al not only with Protestantism, but also with the lay multitudeof its own Church, of whom the Papal Nuncioso bitterly complained nfter his return from conferring the berretia upon Cardinal MoCroskky. In somo parts of Furnpe the contest may be longer and more obstinate, but of its ultimate result there can beuo doubt.

Mr. Havex had no moneyod in- terost in tho bank, and, when it failed, knew no more of its condition than a man in Green. land, Notswithstanding this faot, tho moral sonse of the community, will hold Mr. Havex responsible, He leat the use of his namo to inspiro confidence. The depositors put their money in the bank upon tho strength of his indorsement. They did not know he had lont his name. They did not know he wns igno. rant of the condition of the bank., They did not know but that ho was the actual manager of thebank, and, judging from his success in business ond his high atanding in tho busi. ness community, concluded that the affairs of tho bank wore safe in his hands.

The Legislaturo of Virginia has rojocted the bill making on appropriation for the representation of that Stato at tho Centon. ninl Exposition, and the State Centenninl Committeo los resigned. Tho reason for this is tho refusal to grant an unnsked and unsought pardon to Jerr Davis, ' In tho Kon- tucky Legislature, Mr. Jomy Pnrston has proposnd resolutions reciting the refusal to pardon Jere Davis, and that, a3 long ns any ong man in the country is denied tha right of completo citizenshlp, American liberty did not exiat, and, therefore, tho Commonwenlth of Kontucky could uot with dignity joln in the celebration of tho contennial of American froedom.
