Tho salo was the largest of thio kind ever held in America, comprising 13,000 packages valuod at from 2,000,000 to $3,000,000, The great firms of Clicago, Firrp, Lerrez & Co. and J. V. Fanwern & Co., Causoy, Pmie, Scorr & Co., Maxper Bros., Sterraves Bros., ete., woro prominent buyers, The goods were sold for cash, nnd renlized about 25 per cont below prevailing rates, The inter-collegiate bont-races at Baratoga yestorday ended in the remarkable victory of tho stndonts of one college over those of four other contesting institutions in threo dintinct races, the usual two-days' rowing of tho annunl regatta having been crowdedwin- to ono by provious bad weather, Cornell Collnge, of Ithaca, N.

Judge Wirniams yesterdny dismissed for want of equity a bill filed to compol Cook County to complete the purchose of n los- pital-site which in 1873 wna partly bargnined for by the County Board, The mattor. in question was tho MaTrTuews properly, in connection with which thore were numerous chargos of bribery and corraption, and the cnso hinged upon the right of the Bonrd to reconsider its action in ordering tho pur- chase. It was held by the Court that the Board could legally reconsider, nnd that the owners of the land could not recover dam- ages. Gen. Mennrrr has succeeded in heading off a party of 800 Cheyonnes who had left the Red Cloud Agency with the intention of joiuning the hostile forces of Strriva Burw, Information having been roceived of the projected movement, Gen. MennirT, aftor a march of nearly a handred miles in thirty.six hours, was succossful in intorcopting the Chioyennes and in driving thamn back to the Agency. The Indinns were warned of the approach of the troops, and manged to smenk off in small partics without receiving the chnstisemont thoy desorved, the jaded con- ditiod of Gen, MeruiTr's command prevent. ing o suoccessful pursuit, It is believed that tho Cheyennes have beon thoroughly fright. oned by this domonstration, and that thoy will concludo to stay nt their Agency. Two political gatherings of o widely differ- ent character convened in Chicago yosterdny, The Republican State Central Committes mot and discussed the situation throughout the State, and talked ovor the prospaots, which wero invarinbly found to Lo ' most en. couraging. The Cuok Couunty Damocratic Central Committes met tho same. day, and pasged their timo In quarreling among them- sclves. Inthe ono case all was harmony, enthusissm, and hopefulness ; in the other, joalousy, bickerings, and o genoral air of diroouragement wera the distinguishing char. ncteristics of the conforonce. Where tho Republicans of Illinois present a united and unbroken {ront, and are as confident of vic. tory as that the sun will rise on election-day next Novembor, the Domocrata are obiefly engagod in fighting oach other and in wrang- ling over tho potty details of organization, — Tho Chicago produce markets were gen. erally weak yosterday, with less dolng, but moderate nctivity in the leading cercals, Bless pork closed 22jo per brl lower, at $19.17}@19.20 for August and $10.87} for Soptamber, Lard closed 5@Tjc per 100 lbs ligher, at 811,12} for August, and §i1,922, for Boptember, Meats were dull, at +8o for boxed shoulders, 10}e for do short ribg, and 10jc for do short clears. Lake freights were less active, at 1jo for corn to -Buffalo. Rail froights were unchangod. Highwines woro unchanged, st 81,10} por gallon, Flour was dull.

In the Sundry Civil bill as passed by the Benato yostorday, and which now goes to the President for approval, Chicago has fared most shabbily, thanks to the impotoncy of hor threo Democratic members of Congress, Nearly overy littla town and city in the conn- try was successful in securing an appropria- tion for public buildings, but Chicago, with n mammoth Custom.House and Post-Ofice about one-third finished, could mnot get o dollar, ADNEY Oavrrreep conld find time for Btar.Chamber investigations, and Our Cintex could let fly & whole cago of cagles, but neither of thom could command the consideration necossary to protect the vital intorests of tho city which thoy so egregiously misropresont, As {for Mr, Le Moy~e, ho sosms to be anonontity anyhow. Chicago will see to it this fall that these gontlomen make room for a mora effi. cient and creditable represcntation in Con- gress, It is cleor that tho Democratic majority of the Houso Committes on Expenditures in the Navy Departmont were guilty of gross unfairness in the matter of the report upon tho Roprson investigation. At tho cloventh hour the Ropublican members of the Com- mitteo were nfforded the privilego of listen- ing to tho hasty reading of tho majority ro- port, a document of enormonus length, which would require soveral days for proper ex- amination and consideration, and then wora givon two hoursin which to present their objections, 'Tho report itsolf is chorac- terized as a partisan presentment of but one sido of the onss, giving only the damaging tostimony of witnesacs, without regard to tho robniting ovidence. With all their un. fairnoss the Domocrats hiad not the courags to faco the music squarely upon the question of impeachment, making no recommenda. tion save that it be left for the Judiciary Cotnmitteo to determine whother it wonld be advisable to presont articles of impeach- ment., THE LOST TAXES. ‘We do not propose to offer logal advico to the Law Deopartment of the city, but we do suggest that the rocovery of the $1,304,000 taxes for the yonrs 1874 and 1873 is worthy of evon more than ordinary exertion, espe- cially in tho present condition of tho city finances. 'We nre aware that the Supremo Court has boen asked to grant & rehearing in the cnso in which that Court pronounced Bill 300 to bo unconstitutionnl and void. ‘It is possible that the Court, from caurtesy to the city, moy grant n rcliearing, and that the Court in due time will listen to n reargu. ment of tho case. Unfortunatoly the ques- tion is not to bo henrd on the merits or equi- ties of the case. It will be useless to tell the Court that theso taxes were levied for lawful purposes, for the indispensablo requiremonts of tho city, authorized, and most of them di- rected, by law, for support of the City Gov- ernmont; that there has never been an ob- jection to tho power of the city to make tho coxpenditures to meot which thess taxes were intonded, nnd no expenditure was authorized except in the manner providdd by law by provious appropristions. It will be wuscless to toll the Court that in the entire proceedings there is a fotal absenco of fraud or injustice, or of any suspicion that the property concerned waa not lawfully the subject of taxation to tho amount and for tho purpose specified, Tt will bo uaeless to tell the Conrt that the city hos no revenuo snve what it derives from faxation ; that this money hns boon dxpended ; that the city is now indebted thorefor ; that the proporty has derived full Lenefit from this oxpenditure ; and that the city, hampered on the ono hand by a bonded debt at its moximum amount, and on tho othor by tho non-collection of taxes, is in the porils of bankruptey if this amount of its curront rovenue be extinguished. Ordi- narily these facts and circumstances would Lo sufficiont to invoke the aid of the Courts to enforco the payment of the taxes, The Court, however, has decided advorsely to tho city on other grounds,—on grounds which are wholly exclusive of tho merits and cquities of the case. It has decided that thero wero on the statute-book two ncts of the Leg(nl.nluru having tho snme end in view, but each providing its own ma~ chinery ; that, hy tho oxpress prohibition of the Constitution, these two acts could not be valid at the same time,—that ono of them was void, not merely voidablo,— wos logally a blank page; that the city, with o natural prononess - to blunders, discarded tho actual and only Inw of the State, and followed the pre- tended law ; that the act being void, all pro- coodings undor it, from beginning to ond, were oqually void, haviog no semblance of legal nuthority. ‘The Court has not decidod that this tax was lovied illogally or for llogal purposes, but that notax at all was over lavied, and thot the nssessment on which the city had pretonded to sct was not an assessmont in foct or substanco. Undor these circum- stances, is it worth while to ask the Court to rovergs o judgment so doliborate as this, and upon which the Court was unanimous and explioit ? Tho Goneral Revenuo law of tho State, which tho Court’in its rocont decision af- firms to bo tho only law on the subject, and equally npplicable to city taxes as to State tnxes, has n provision which perkaps may coverthis caso. In Socs, 270.7, itis do- claved that if any real or pensonal property shall be omitted in tho nssessment of any yoar or number of years, or the tax thercon for which such property is linbla from any cause has not beon paid, or if any such prop- erty, Ly rowion of defectiva descriplion or assessmont, shall fail to pay‘taxes, in either caso tho arroarages of tax which might have been nsscssed, with 10 por cent interest thore. on, shall bo charged ngainst such property by tho County Clerk, Furthor, that if the tax or assessment on property liablo to taxation is preventod from Loing collectod for any year or yoars by reu- son of any erroncous proceeding or othor causo, the nmount of such tax or assosswmont which such property should have paid may Lo ndded to the tux on such property for any subscquent year, and colleeted, Au argumont for rohicaring, and a rohear- ing, aud a judgmout by the Court, will take, ot tho shortest cetimate, o ycor and a half, ‘Why may not the Law Dopartnont of the city, pending such a proceeding, further pro- pare tho necossary papers by which tho city can certify to the County Olerk that in tho years 1878 and 1874 this particular list of proporty was indebtod to the city in thesum of §1,304,000, which, owing to ervoucous pro- ceedings o nsseas and collect the sawe, has not been paid, and directing said Clerk to ap- portion said sum upon such property, accord. ing to the Btato assessment for thoso years, aud collect the samo with other taxes due by sald proparty ? In thiy case tho legal assessments of 1873 end for 1874—the ssssasments whick tho THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1876.

The amount of tax due by ench picce of properly for cach yoar is alios mattor of record. The cty lins nolhing to do with ratos of tax; it hias only to cortify that the sum of — is duo from Lot —, Block —, for the city tax for the year 1873, aud 5o much for tho city tax for 1874, which, because of orrors in the proceedings, bave nover been poid; and directing that the Clork assoss such rato of tax onthe nssessed valuo of #uch lot as will produce such sums of dno and uncollected tax.

This can bo dono by giving a very large majority againet him. . For yoars tho Sun has fairly clamored for Civil-Servico reform, for restoration of tho Administration to the JerrensoNzaw. test, making the tonure of ofica dopendent upon fitness and fidolity, ond for tho destruction of the infomous, corrnpting spoils system invented by Jacmsow, apd porpetuated by machine politicians and patronago peddlers, The Sun haa joinod with all othor advocates of CivilBervico reform in demanding that publio offices bo no longer disposed of to politieal strikers and camp-followers ns booty ; that Sonators and Congressmen be not permitted to usurp the power of ap. pointment to mnko of it & means of Lribery by which to securo ro-clection and to organize and maintain their gangs of placemen to run the mnchino; and that ro- movals for *political considerntions”—that 18, tho kicking of men out of offico to make placo for spoilsmen—should conso, - This precisely is what Gov. Havrs, in lis lettor of accoptance, has pledged. himself to do. Instead of regarding the public offices 08 epoils to bo distributed ns rewards for party service, he rocognizes thom as sacred public trusts, to be administored not in the intorest of party, but of the whole people, tho solo desideratum being that thoy shall be lonestly and_efficiently administored. Ho proposes to make an end of thespoils-bribery systom by refusing to order tho usual clean sweop to mako places for political workors, and to make it tho rule that no man who faithfully and capably dischargoes the dutics of his placa shall bo turned out. This tho Sun, roiterating tho stals, ‘exploded argu- ment of the machine-men in dofense of the apoils syatem, ealls cronting an aristocrscy of office-holders. It is the systom which ob- tained in this country under Wasnrxarox, JerrrngoN, and the Apasses, and from tho or- ganization of tho Gowernment down to Jack- HoN'stime—a periodof sixty years. Whydidn't they build up that aristocracy of office-holders tlien, in tho days when the aristocracy of po- litical manngers who, throngh their control of appointmonts, ‘run the machine,” wasjun- lmown? It is preoisely the system that ob- tnina in banks, and factories, and great pri. vate business establishmonts,~—continuance in place being depondent solely upon good bebavior, But we have yet to hear of an in- stanco where it has developed an heroditary aristocrncy of cashiors and bookkeopers, or has developed anything clso than order, dis- patch of business, fidolity, and intelligent dischargo of duty, which aro what is required in evory department of the Civil Sorvico, ‘This howl sbout the dreadful aristocrucy of office-holders that conld be built up by re. quiring of office-holders that thoy devote thomselves to their duties instend of worke ing tho machine, comes only of a malovo- lenco toward Havezs and the Republican party that scruples at nothing to defeat cither, and of the dishonesty that first found utteranco in the phrase, ¢ To the victors bo- long the spoils,” If thero wers no other renson for clocting Haves, it wonld be cuongh that ho is plodged to destroy that thieves' system. LAMAR'S AFOLOGY FOR MURDER. ‘That was au edifying and lueid explanation givon by tho eloquent Lauar of the Ham. burg massacro,—that tho respousibility for it resta with the wenk Governmouts * foisted” upon the South. Bug, even with his ndded nssngance that the poople of the entire South deplore and condemn *‘such occur- rences,” the cloquent Laaan's explanation ia altogother too thin, It doesn't efplain that tho only Government guilty of woakneuss, and worse than wonkuess, in the affair, waa the Democratic Governmont of Georgia. At Au- gustn, ono of tho chief citios of that Btate, was publicly rocruited,’ organized, and equip. ped o body of betweon 200 aud 800 men, who, fully arnied and provided with cannon, from thonce sot out to invade the adjoining State of Bouth Carolina to murdor, ns thoy didin mostbarbarous, cowardly fashion, inof- fonuive citizons thereof, But neither the Governor of Georgia, nor tho Sheril of the county, nor the Mayorvuf Aungusta, nor the police, nor ono of tho citizens who compriso twenty.odd thousand of tho people of the “entiro South,” who, in the cloquent La- aan's phraso, condomn * such oceurrences,” intorposed to hinder or pravent this * nigger- hunt” into Bouth Carolina, Nor doos the eloquent Laxan's explanation oxplain that this murderous foray into the torritory of another State was organized, not by tho lawlcss classes, but by that ornament of Goorgln soclety, tho ex-Confudorate Gen. eral, who, on tho floor of tho House, was oulogized as ¢ the proud chevalior, sans peur, sana reproche—DL. O, Burrzn, Ho it was who crossod from Qeorgla into Bouth Carolina and demanded of a Bouth Carolina militia company that thoy surrender their anns, the property of the State, bocause they had been guilty of the atrocious offense, which the Georgiaus could not abido, of obstructing the Bouth Carolina highway in their own town by o Fourth-of-Julv varade. Whon thoy re. fusod to disarm themsolves in the presence of tho mob of Georgians, he it was who ro- crossed into Georgia for roinforcomonta, The Chronscle and Sentinel of the 10th inst., the recognized organ of the Georgin Domoo- racy, fully tells it ¢ Gen. BuTLn rode oter o Augusta and told sev- eral young men that he might need thelr serrices in Hamburg during theafternoon, He then returned to the town, Just after crorslng the bridge e wos met by Ptxee Rivna, who salil he wonld make ono mare effort to Induce the negroea to wive up thelr Runs, and, If they would not yield, they must take the consoquences, Accordinglyhe conferred with the officers of the company, snd shortly returned to Gen, DurrEn with the snnonncement that the negroca sald they would not give np their gune; they Intended to fight. In (he meantime the nows of the tranblo had spread In Augusta and eausod mach oxcitement. A large number of young men hastily procnred arms and ammunition and hase tened to the scene. Many others waited at the foot of the bridze anxiously awslting tho result, By 7 o'clock there was a Iarge crowd ot that polat, Upon learning the result of Rivkns' efforte, Gen. ButLer delerntined to accomplish by force that which conld not be done by peaceablo demands, Tho negroes had inirenched themsclves in u large brick structare, known as Sisier's bullding, ona corner, and defled tho whites. The latter sur- rounded the honse, and at half-psst 7 o'clock opened firo upon ft. ‘What also the eloquont Luatan's explana- tion faila to oxplain nwny is, that the *entire Bouth,” instend of condomning *‘such oc- currences " as this Ilambarg massacre, ap- proves of it, ns it has approved of every negro mnssacre, a8 domonstrated by the fact that nover for any of the long series of titese hns ony * SBouthern” Government or * Bouth- o " oficial interfored to bring any of tho nigger-hunters to justico. But as ofton as military ald has beon invoked by outraged justice, the * ontire Sonth " has howled, as. the cloquont Lasun did Tuesday, against military juterferonce in Stnte affairs. The eloquent Luawan, however, is right about one thing., ‘‘Buch occurrences” as this Hamburg massacre could not'oceur In tho lata Confederate Statos were the Gov- ernments stronger there. The strongth they neod is of tho sort that will overpower the all- pervading barbnrism bred of and that survives slavery ; strongth strong enough to make it no less dangerous for tho chivalry to go nigger-hunting thnn for * niggara " to go gunning aftor tho chivalry ; strong enough to promptly clap into jail such mnrderors as ‘‘that chovalior sans peur, sans reproche,”" Gon, M. O.'Burrer; and strong onough to send all such from the jail to the scaffold. Ouly strong Governmonts of such sort pre- cigely ean stamp out the barbarism of tho chivalry; and, whera the State Governments havo not such strength, or will not use it, it dovolves upon the General Government, as in this instanco, with all its power to apply it, and to compoel recognition of the oqual rights of all citizens, irrospective of color, once for all, so that nover again shall such righta bo challenged. ———eee COMMERCTAL DEPRESSION IN INDIA, Tho intelligonce from England is t& the effect that there prevails in India a sorious fifiancinl and commercinl distress which is of o somewhnt poculiar character. Bilvor has always boen the standard messure of values in Indin, and the present distress is due to the serious decline in tho valuo of silver. India is the best customer of Groat Britain, The trado of the country is reprosented by annual fmports in 1874 of £i2,500,000, and oxports, £56,874,000. Ifer dobt, which is £108,000,000, is mainly hold in England. Tho transactions of Indin with all European nations aro necessarily upon n gold standard, The decline in the value of silver hins reached that extont that cxchiango on London is now 81 por eont, thot bewng tho measure of dif- forenco betweon tho silver curroncy of India and tho gold standard of London. 'The cur- rency of India, boing n logal-tender ond do- prociated, hos caused o nominal advanco in theo prico of commoditics ; dobts aro payable in tho deprociated legal-tendar, as well os payments to the Govornment, while all re. mittances to Loudon have to be on the gold Losis. In short, Indin is now in the same condition with respect to her currency and foreign trado that tho Uniied States have beon for years. She has alegal-tonder which is not only depreciated but fluctuating,— wonting tho essential quality of fixity in volue. Practioally, there is 31 per cont, with o large margin for fluctuntions, added to the cost of living in Indin, a8 mensurod by the silver standard, The Government tnxes, payable in silver, aro no longer adequate, and will havo to bo ndvanced to meet tho deficiency in the purchasing power of tho monoy that is collected, There is, there- fore,* Governmenta! distress, commercial wrack, and individnal calamity ; and, as the country has large dcalings with Great Britain, the effects will bo seriously felt in the manufacturing districts of England. 'This wave, which has disturbed the finan- cinl centres and produced so much disnster, has token n wide range. Five yomrs ago there was a wild rage for spoculntion in the Austrian Empiro. There was n grand sys- tom of intornal improvemonts projocted. For this purpose thero woro all manuer of companies organized, such as construotion companies, credit mobiliers, credit fon- ciers, and othors by various names. Theso companics were credit concerns; they offered oxtraordinary profits to stook- holdors, aud lonned credits to all manuer of compnnies to build eitios, operate farms, car- ry on manufactores, build rallways, and gen- erally do anything and everything for which monoy is noeded. As part of this camo the issuo of papor monoy ; inflation, high prices, increased wagos; onormous profits for a while; thon n collapse and o breakdown, leaving nothing but tho deprociated paper monegy to curse the country and embarrass trade aud production aever since. Austrin hns never recovered,—tho whole Empire be. ing ever sinco under a financial clond, The Gorman disaster was from n sudden plethorn of moncy obtalned from France. The Fronch indemnity was paid moutly in silver, 'The Treasury was burdenod with it, The Government mado lorge oxpenditures for naval purposes, nlso for tho construction of military railways, A largo class of mann. factorion woro called for, which, when com- plotod, wore of no productive valuo to tho conutry, Monoy was plonty, woges In. cronsed largely; tho cost of living also jnereased. Tho Gorman manufacturers, whe had not ouly supplied {he home markoet, but had largely experted, could no longer produce at prices admitting competition with tho imported goods, Tho vesult was, QGerman production fell off; wages were roduced; strikes followed. In tho meantimg tho plethora of monoy bad a disastrous offoot upon sociol habits, Ex. travagance took tho placo of thrift, man ccased to labor that thoy might spooulate, the money that had come into tho country in such large amount and 5o suddenly begun to flow out. It wassilver which was now exportable, and gold had to bo bought to pay Franco and England for the goods and wares which Gorwmany no longoer produced, but imported. 'Tho discount ou silver was Lieavy, and in a comparatively bric? space of time Germany had paid out in gold, in ex. cess of hor usual expendituros, nearly as much an sho had recoived from France in silver. To add to the complications, the Government carrlod ont its scheme of de- monetizing its silver curroncy nnd orocting gold na tho oxclusive logal standard, Tho general wavo of commercial depros- sion is now seriously felt in England. While the Banks of Englaud and of France, and of the United Statos, and gonorally the financial markots of the world, have unprecedented volumes of monoy awaiting investment, thoro is a gonoral prostration. Tho manu- factures of England aro measurably stag- nant; tho iron andcotton productions have lost thoir markets. Tho offect on labor is severe. Operntives are discharged, wages reduced, transportation diminished, incomes largoly abridged. Exponsos of living and ox- ponses of doing business are curtailed by the discharge of all clerks and sorvants who ean bo dispensoed with, In London, thonsands of horses are for sale, tho ownors being no longer able to koop them. We need not ro- for to tho condition of affairs at lome, Graduslly but inevitably, with all the force of gravitation, everything is gotting down to what may bo called the hard-pan. Inflation bas exhausted itsclf. It has done its worst,— has disturbed the world's commercs and wronght immense private ruin, Tho world is getting down to tho lowest cnsh values; intorest and dividends will decline in their nominal rates, but will keep paco with the gonoral restoration of sactual values, The only diffieulty in the way of this gonernl restoration is the fictitious standards of value which still remain, Paper monoy of varions grades, and now silver, nll must give way to tho ono univorsal standard, and the world must rosume business and robuild produc- tion ond commerca from that initial point. ek HARD TIMES ALL ROUND, When you are in misery yourself, it is fomo littlo componsation to know that your neighbor is in misery also. It may not be a very charitablo or unsolfish view of the social economy, but when people are in misery tiy are apt to bo uncharitable and solflsh. If o man's house burns up and involves his neighbor’s houso also, they two are on’the same plano and can sympathizo with each other, and, if they don't sympnthize, can nbuso oach othor, and thero is somo plons- ure in that. If a man is driven into bankruptey, he can bear the loss of his prop- orty with a certain degreo of equanimity, -provided Lis meighbor is in the same fix, The laws of morals and of nature that govern individnals also govorn nations. It will be no news to any one that this conntry is just now sufferibg from hard: times, and that it has been suffering with this trouble for somo yoors past. As individuals, thoro is ample compensation in tho fact that there arono cxcoptions to the rule. SwTm knows that Browx is hord up, and Mra, JoxxsoN knows that, although she cannotcut so huge a fignre ot Saratoge or Newport this year as usual, Mra, Trosrson 18 no better off, and therois o keen nujoyz.nnnt in such knowledge that takos off the cdge of tho stringency. If Mra. T'oxrson had to reduce the cost of her bon- not or tho size of hor panier, and Mrs, JomN- sox conld run both on the regulation stand- ard, Mrs, 'I'moarson’s sorrow would bo as poignant.ns Mre Jomssox's prido would bo poculiar, .and, whilo Mra. Trouesox would havo vory little left in this world worth living for, DMrs. Jomssox' would find overything too ‘lovely for anything. As a nation, however, we havo supposed oursolves to bo alone in our misery, hnvo ro- fused to bo comforted, and have whailed and wopt. We have croaked, played Jeromiah, and mado ourselves as dismal ns possible, notwithstanding it is the Contonnisl year and Cantes Flannison's engle is sproading hig tail-foathers all over tho contiuent, It will now come as a soveroign balm and precious panacen, that we aro not alono a8 o naotion in the enjoyment of hard times. 1'ho Iast number of the London Spectator comes to us with o wail about” hard times, asdismnl as any that we have uttered. It wenrs sables us black ns ours, and its faco is a8 long and lonesome. Its hard times nre just like our hard times. In drawing a picte ure of tho genoral stringoncy, it draws our own portrait, Iow natural this looks, for inatanco : Everyhody says these are very hard timee, and, from ong polnt of view ot least, ovorybody 18 right. Theso aro very hiard times for the well-to do, nnd for those who depend In any degreo on thelr well-to-dolshness, It ia truo that many of tho usual aignals of public distress are wanting; that tho revenue docs not decline soriously; that thero 1a no cry for public economy; that the aver- age of panpcriam 18 excoptionally low; that woges, though receding, especially in theiron and conl trades, aro not nbuormally bad; that the peopls ‘wasto quito iy much ad usunl on thelr drink; and that bread fs cxceedingly cheap, n aplte of a com- ing barvest which the corn speculators bellove can bardly yield a full averago supply. It is truo also that Juxury secma to be as rawmpant as over, thal any amount of mouey is forthcoming for old china, for pictures with approved pedigrees, and for ‘¢bits of land;** and that capital, ususily so dini- cult ta hive, is now to be rented at rates which it la hardly worth bankers® while to take, Dut still, thore Ia very great distress among largo sgetions of the people, and it is worth whils to notico whore that dlstzess appears to be principally fult. The cry comes from the comfortuble, and the classcs whom they usually maintaie. 'ha dotails of the pictura are drawn with tho same outlino and finlshed in the same colors s ours. ‘‘ An extraordinary nuniber of Englishmen have lost pleasant additions to thelr regulnr income,” likewiee of Amori- cous. * Half the power of spending monoy on unnocessary things,” says tho Spectator, “has beon lost.” Thut's tho ronson why Mrs, Cuisus only stops two woeeks, at Bara- |. toga this yenr instead of four, as usnal, #8mall capitalists are not oxactly losing their monoy, but they are losing tho usual intereat on their monay, are compelled to submit to lower prices, givo longoer eredit, and contract their dealings.” llow many of our small capitalists have uttered thesame dismal wail | The avorsgo Kuglishinan is nlso doing just what the average American, who i8 not an idiot, ig doing, namely : . Kvery man In all theso clasace, unless reckless or allly, when awaro of this Joss of inconte, trice to save, aud, of course, begins saving by dlsponse Ing, first, with things he docs not porticularly want, und next, with things tho waut of whicl will not break up his establishment, He does not buy that picture which he funcied, be thioks the draw- fug-room furniture will do for another year, ho s quito annoyed that he should be usinga second carriage, hecan do very well without any gold- smith's goods, and a8 for Increasing hls catablish- mient, that {s not to be thoughtof, - The Spectator gives & wholo cataloguo of victims of the hiard times. Thousands of horses fit only for showy work are eating their heads off in tho stable. . Furniture- doalers can soll only the moat ordinary goods, Coachuien are out of work, likewise butlers, grooms, and scrvants. Clerks are suffering lamentably, the hard timos, rotrenchment, and | bankrupteies having thrown shoals of thomn on the market. It iurathor peculiar that the English hattor suffers moro koonly apd quick- ly than any of his brethren, which the Spec- tator explains as follows : * Nobody wears o hat out as ho wears a shoe out, and nobody waits a8 long a4 he might to buy a now bat. The consequence is, that most well-to-do peoplo could do very woll with half tho hats they buy, and wheunever they aro rotrenching thoy abstain from that partioular purchase, till n hattor may find himself loft for six months withont any custom nt all.” Tailors and shoomnkers, watchmakers, faney-goods sellors, and book-donlars, are all complaining! Two thousand coachmen's names are on the books of ono houso, seeking employment, which romibds ono of the long list of ‘*situntions wantod " in the papors of our own largo cities. In nearly evory respoct bard times in England aro paralleled by hard times in tho United States, Thorein is much comfort, growing ont of fellowship in misery.
