Sho is our most formablo competitor in broadstuffs, salt meats, hides, hemp, tallow, and other articles of commerce, but par- ticularly our competitor in wheat, oats, and barley.

In this condition of things, thero must be n distarb- ancs in tho bread markst, and that disturb. ance has alrendy commenced. Pricos have slready been tan up, and they will tend to keop up more stifly than during the Franco- Germann war, but it is an opon question whether spoculators have not alrendy dis- counted the ndvance, Whatevor effect tho war may have upon prices, have tlhoy not alroady pushed prices boyond the natursl point they would reach? Our bonds may fall o tittle because, war creates a domand for money, and those holding them will realize upon them for other investments, Enropean bonds being largely unsalable, and gold will tomporarily rise and then fall ngain. ‘Chere is another side to the picture. Evory war {s 8 calamity, not only to the parties’en- guged init, but proportionately to every other nation. Russia and ‘Tarkey cannot maintain along enmpalgn without bringing a certalu amonnt of dissster into every fawily in the UnitedStates, Every man's pocketbook willbe called upon to contribute something towards the liberation of the Sclave, and the poor man's pocketbook will suffer to a largo ox- tent. The war will be felt in evory house- hold in the increased cost of living. ‘Thers in still another offset. Whilo the war will make an incrensod demand for breadstufls and war material, there will be a reduction of the demand for other articles of export for which thero is utter call in time of war, From utill another_point of view, it Is dis- cournging that, just at the time whon we aro recovering from the panic and business is settliug down to o healthy basiy, we aro like- ly to got in a lurry and striko another spec- ulative era. It is not likely, however, to have o permanent effect, in this country ot loast, where the financial results are more. likely to bo in our favor, Tha flurry will probably be temporary, The gambling and speculation will be enormous for n time, but gradually basinesa will sottle baek ogain anud reach a more solid basls. ‘Ihe result of war upon this country, in polnt of fact, will ho about as long as it is broad. e —— which every member wonld have profersed to nvoid, but which could not be nvoided in justice to the requirements of morality and decency ns well as the self-respect of the Couneil itself. Thelawonthe subject was made clear by the opinion of the Corporation Caunsel, and tho vote of 23to ¢ in support of Ald. McCnra's resolution to refuso to roceivo as an Alderman of tho City of Chi. cago a person convicted of a crime against the Inws of the United States correctly rop- resonts the sontinienta of the people of this clty on the question of Hiuprera's admis- sion, What pew disgrace to him ia involved ha brought upon himself by his brazen ef- frontory in offering himself for re-election to o body from which he narrowly oscaped expulsion by tho tonder of his resignation, . and lie is entitled to no sympathy, — . ‘Tho position of Roumaunin with referance to the war is not nn enviable one, to say the lenst. A Russian army of 230,000 meh is on her northeastern frontier proparing to advance, snd a poworful Turkish force Is on her wostern frontior, at Widdin, propar- ing to croas, Afeanwhile the Cabinets of Vienus, London, aud Paris have notified hor that the privileges she enjoys by virtue of the ‘Treaty of Paria will be consiilered null and void if she actively co-operates with auy one, Tnasmuch as thero will be very little left of Roumanin after the respective combatants get through if ahe <oes not co- operata with somebody, the mandate of the other Powors is in the naturs of a very sovere hardship, As Prince Cuanzxs, how. ever, will rend n delogalion to meet the Czor ot Kischenev, anil is concentrating his forces nt Knlafat, opposite the Turkish forces at Widdin, it looks very much as if he wero sbout to co-operate vory nctively with Rus. sin, notwithstanding the intimations sent hiw, A rosolution was yesterday offored in the Toarl of Connty Comminsioners directing that the County Agent's offico be closed and the employes dischiarged on the 1st of May, the appropriation for the curreut year hav. ngg been exbonsted. The proposition comes at a soason of the year when the least posal. blo amount of sufering would follow a sus. pousfon of this class of expenditure, and when the smullest numbor of desorving peor would be deprivod of the necessaries of lite in consequenco of the profligacy and corrup- tion whick lave reduced the county’s finan- ces to thelr present almost bankrupt condi. tion, It comes, too, st a time when it should serve to emphasize the Jdemand of tho taxpayors for the leglalation requisite to enablo them to shake off the officlal leeches who have drained the Treasury before tho year is holf over, The money appropriated to sustain the charitable fnstitutions las beon wasted and stolen, and the cry of the ringsters is ¢ Borrow 1" Will the Legisla. ture refuss to abollsh the Ning merely be. enuse it i 8 Democratio Ring? grounds of sald University, for the years 1877 and 1878, the sum of $2,500; for curront expenacs of chomical and physical laboratorles of snid Univet. sity, for the ycars 1877 and 1678, the sum of §1,000 per annum: for Cierent expenses for educa- tional work, and practical instructlon of students in tho mechanical shops of said University, for the years 1877 and 1878, tiso sum of$1,500 per annum; for Unlversity Jibeary nnd cablnets for the years 1877and 1878, to-wit, : For ndditional library cases, $1.000 per nonu for books and publica- tlons, SL,GOU per annu for cases for cabinets as pier plans and estimates, $2,2560 per aunums for specimena for geological, mineratogical, and natnral-history cablnets, the sum of $1,000 per anunm; for tha foncing of vablic gronnds and arbarotum of suld University, thie nutn of $1,000 por annum; for the erection of o chemical laboratory buiiding as por plans a apecitications, $0,000; for nocosary heating an- paratns, and furnfiure, and other fixiures for the sume, the snm of 810,000, tno whalo amoanting to 540,000, 20,000 of the sama fn the year 1877, and 80,600 1n the year 1878: for the reconatruc tion and cnlargomerit of tho grcenhouse, and for & botsnlcal und “horticultural labratory In tho same, the sum of 2,500, BARNARD & GOUAY, Next camo np the bill appropristing 810,020 to Barnard & Gounn, as the bill oxpeodsos it, **for damages suffared by thom for a breuch of enntract of {he Stato with them by remson of a_failnre of the Commissioner of the Stato Penitontiary to fure nish cut stone, ™ Mr. Connelly moved o strike out the enacting claase, Mr. Dunne moved to lable the motlon o atrike out, Mr. Pinney protested that an opportualty for lo- quiry and discussion shoiild ho allowed, Ha knew nothing about the claun, but, If it was right, it ought (0 be paie, The blil ought not 1o be killed in this fashion.
