Exciting Causes of the Civil War. {From the Japan (Yokohama) Times, Jan. 4.) Each stage in the advance of such a nation as this it is well to clearly mark; and it has more than once. occurred, in the progress of our {intercourse with the Japanese, that their arrival at such a stage, their Passage through some critical situation, has corre- sponded with the close of our Eurepean year. The opening of Osaka and Hiogo to foreign trade, an- nonnced for the Ist of January, 1868, is such a crisis. During the whole of the past year native and foreign politicians have been preparing for it, and in reviewing the hisiory of Japan during 1867, the rec- erd will be found strongly marked by the shadow of the coming event. It is the projected opening of the oris which has been the main cause of the de- ression of our import trade; it was to prepare for his that the ministers paid to ’Stotsbashl in the spring the visit which was attended for him with such serious consoquences; and, though other causes have, of course, influenced and as. sisted to produce it, there is no doubt that by this has been precipitated the revolution which has dethroned the ancient dynasty of Tyeyas. ‘The history of 1867 is therefore, indeed, the History of the opening of the great central port of Japan to foreign trade; it will be for the annalists of 1868 to tell us whether the party in favor of the measure succeéded in carrying it, and carrying it without recourse to other weapons than those of diplomacy. Ours the task of portraying the struggie between the Southern Daimios and the Shogoon, one ee episode of which we sketched in our review 866. And in the group of Japanese statesmen who have been engaged throughout the year in the discussion Of this great question the most/prominent to our own view has been, of course, ’Stotsbashi, the able sue- cessor of the unfortunate young Tyemochi; and as ‘the history of the period under review is the history of the opening of Osaka, so may it also be rightly called a chapter in the led of the astute and far-seeing cadet of the house of Mito. It was at the close of 1866 that he issued to the foreign Ministers his invitation to confer with him at Osaka upon the momentous question of the opening of that city to our trade, and but for the death of the Mikado, the meeting would probably have taken place in January. A doubt—and a doubt not unnatural, wien we consider how many in- stances of Japanese chicane are recorded in the Jegation archives—appears also to have suggested itself to the mind of the British Minister, lest, the dispute with Chiosiu not being yet finally adjusted, his presence at the court of the Shogoon might be desired as an evidence of the same moral support which he had given to the other side, when, in the previous August, he had visited Satsuma at Kagosi- ™ma. He sent down, therefore, in February a couple of atiachés to ascertain that ’Stotsbashi was really sincere in his desire to make arrangements for the opening of the new ports. Their re- Port was favorable, and the French Minister having id his visit in March, the period of mourning for 1e Mikado inde 3 expired, and peace with Chiosiu having been at last proclaimed, Sir Hi Parkes and the Dutch Minister proceeded to on the 16th of April. *Stotsbashi was in earnest, for on the 28th we received the news that he was prepared to fulfil the engagements of the treaty of 1! certainly be opened on the 1st of January 1868. (Not to damp the ardor of those who have made preparations for commencing business in the South, but merely to place on record a matter of we here incidentally note that the opening of Jeddo and Nee-e-gata has been lately yponed for other three months.) The first im ions of ’Stots- bashi’s visitors were not favorable. The country wanted the richness of the environs of Yokohama. Osaka disappointed everybody. Provisions were gearce and dear, beggars swarming and impudent, trade appeared to be dead and corpses were seen daily floating down the river. A procession of drunken coolies encountered a boat's load of visitors from her Majesty’s steamer Argus at the landin, place at Hiogo and saluted them with showers ot stones, driving them back to their boats with some slight damage. But 'Stotsbashi had wisely im- ported from Yokohama a French chef de cuisine ‘with his aides-de-camp and battery complete, and aftera grand reception and a banquet or two, our correspondents found something to admire. The power of the Shagoon appeared fully established; his Boidiers lined the streets with a double hedge of bay- onets. The populace looked upon the strangers with & respectful, almost awful curiosity. A deal of gS ler was burned in salutes and Jeux de jote, His ‘hness was most affable, sitting for his cartes de ite and making bids for the chargers of the Lega- tion Guard, The fine old English snob immediately developed himseif, and 'Stotshashi—three days before @ “confounded nigger’—had an Bape on f of which he immediately avatied hit if, of mi ng British worship of rank and respect of persons al him to secure a convention, in which he certainly got the better of his confiding guest. Sir Harry Parkes accepted, for the residence for merchants at Osaka, a miserable little jinsula— another Decima, with the additional di vantage of being a swamp—and at Hiogo a <= phe mg y= close to a squalid fishing vill as far from the town as the Japanese chose to indicate. He consented ‘that the upset price at which this !and should be sub- mitted to public competition should be the equivalent of whatever the Japanese chose to say it cost them to re it, and to ensure them a good brisk auction agreed that only a limited area should be at first offered to the crowd of bidders from the Ji and China ports who were certain to flock thither so soon as permission was led them. Having achieved this diplomatic coup he returned to Yoko- hama with his plaus of the new concessions and carefully kept them to himself until November, ‘when public opinion forced him to show us how our interests had been neglected. But the Ministers had hardiy been back a fortnight when the tenor of our letters from Osaka in to threaten a coming storm. With the fuller information in our possession, we had never that faith in the stability of ‘Stote- bashi’s power which the ae re] mta- tives appeared to enjoy. Oen fatal blow had been given to the Shogoonate when, in 1861, the Dai- mios were released by oid Echizen, then Regent, from compulsory residence in Jeddo, and yet another had been dealt by Shimadz’ Saburo, three years later, ‘when he procured the Mikado’s er for the joung lyemochi to repair to Kioto and ere reside, The war with Chiosiu lowed, with what result our readers know; ‘with what loss of prestige, te the Jeddo chief, with what accession of strength to the Southern Daimtos who had associated themselves together to break the hated yoke of the lyeyas dynasty. For seven Shey have plotted and intrigued and prepared them- selves for the coming struggle, and when they had succeeded in seducing te thelr party such powerful allies of the Shogoon as Kanga, Echizen and Sendal —when the house of Iyeyas was divided inst itself by the Mito vendetta, when, beaten apd dia- irited, the Jeddo armies were sullenty retreating fore the victorious rebel of Nangato, and when, finally, Iyemoch) had succumbed beneath the ro- peated blows of evil fortune—then it was easy to see the game was nearly up.

But *Stotahashi precipitated the meeting and received the Ministers aloue before the Daimtos came up. It has been rumored that he was led to expect in March that in any case he would have the material ald of France, and it is possible that be may have been se misled. The distinct understanding with the Ministers of had mn, and none but Shogoon’a ports could be opened according to those treaties, must also have beguiled him into the bellef that we would all be inclined to sunpore him as, virtually, the sove- reign of Japan. He leaned upon a reed, and it broke pierced his hand. The angry Daimoia arrived at Osaka to find that the fore! had come and gone, and that a con- Yention favorable to the Shi in, and favorable to him alone, had been signed; that he had promised to Osaka and Hiogo, and that the profits of the new trade were to flow, as did before thope of the old, into the Jeddo treasury.

He would give in his submission to the Mikado, but never to the Shogoon.

The guns which salute the bunting as it flutters up may be the signal for a bloody civil war—for a suicidal attempt to expel us from Japan. Or they may—and we have some reason to hope that this glorious resolution will be thus peaceably con- summated—they may sound the hote of preparation through the length and breadth of the land for the admission of knowledge and power, and the mild, humanizing influences of our ctvilization into its p hag’ corner—for the creation of J; statesmen, for the discovery of the hidden treasures of the mine, for the increase and improvement of the products of the fertile soil, for the education of the people, the development of their industry and their preparation for the receipt of the sacred of freedom—in fine, for the elevation of the nation into that high place among the Powers of the earth for which nature in- tended it when it rose from the depths of the great Pacific sea.

WASHINGTON, March 11, 1868, Despatches were received at the Navy Depart- ment this morning from the late Admiral Bell, com- Manding the Asiatic squadron, dated Flagship Hartford, Hiogo, Japan, January 4, seven days pre- vious to his death, announcing the harmonious opening to foreigners of the ports of Osaka and Hiogo, on the 1st of January, and giving an account of the international salutes engaged in at the time. The salutes were fired by the English and American ships, and returned by the Japanese authorities. The first return was made to the Brisish flag, that country being mted by a Minister Plenipoten- tiary and Vice Admiral. Admiral Bell says the condition of affairs seems to be pacific.

RPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Outrages on Foreigners in Panama—The Cor- respondent of the Herald Shot—Administra- tration of Justice on the Isthmus—The Duty ef the United States Government. PaNnaMa, March 1, 1868, The long continued and long suffered ill treatment of foreigners on the part of the authorities has at last become #0 enormous as to be borne no longer. The thieving propensities, petty spites, hatred of strangers superior to them in race, character and in- telligence—in fine, all lower passions of low natures— combine to make the conduct of the ruling powers perfectly intolerable. Foreigners resident on the Isthmus have in very few instances given cause to complaint, and in all such cases fully atoned for their delinquencies; but far oftener have they overlooked downright insults and aggressions for the love of peace and in an honest endeavor to maintain peace- ful and pleasant relations with the local authorities and the whole native population. But their for- bearance has been interpreted as cowardice and the silence of their gévernments as weakness; and con- sequently we are now so situated as to either take the law in our own hands or to emigrate, in case our people should even now not step forward to protect us. I sincerely hope that the press will bring the matter before the government in such @ manner as to cut through the red tape and force the chosen protectors of the ple abroad as well as at home, todo more than shrug their shoulders and consign us to our fate and our representations to the waste usket. Since the massacre of 1856, in which a savage lust of murder and plunder ran riot, things have not been so bad as they are are present. I could fill ‘with the recital of cases where foreigners have nm murdered, swindled, cheated in all sorts of manners, without any punishment of the guilty parties or redress for the wronged ones. But I shall only confine myself to afew cases illustrating the different ways of injuring American citizens, “in or ”? without reference to Span Ttall Frenchmen, &c., who have a similar tale their own to tell. If were to go back to former ad- ministrations, I would have bushels of cases to refer to, but the limited compels me to mention only the occurrences of last few months, Mr. Stern- bergh, one of the oldest and most respected residents, has a difficulty with a native family. Two of the young fellows bile hed while he returns from his place of business with a bundie in each hand. One of the gallant youths gives him a blow in the face; he bei against two young stout fellows, turns to run towal the hotel; then the other hero pulls his pistol and shoots him in the back. Complaint is 1 perinet the cowardly would-be assassins; they are not kept in prison, but liber on bail. The United States ul, who endeayors to watch the case, is hum- d ry ying promises of the authorities, who pl their honor to vigorously prosecute the case and to keep the consul informed of all the proceed- ings, and one fine morning it leaks out that several days ago, without anybody knowing of it, a jury had been ed and ‘disposed of the case, of course acquitting both scoundrels. Agai all common sense anc or usage the jury has not confined itself to the verdict of guilty or not guilty, but given a regular sentence, with arguments. The logic and justice shown in this sentence are 80 remarkable as to deserve an es] mention for the benefit of other countries not so civilized as this. The jury states that, as one of the brothers has instigated the other to shoot and the latter has fired the shot at the instigation of the former, each of them has only one half of the culpability, and for one half of a crime he cannot be punished ! Only the other day a it of marines named McBride, and belonging to the United States steamer Suwanee, in our harbor, was cruelly beaten by four men of the police, robbed of $18 and left bleeding on the sidewalk.’ Shortly afterwards another gang of the police found the poor fellow and arrested him for drunkenness, although they knew very well the circumstances; but they wanted to satisfy, their gen- eral hatred inst foreigners, and especially the men of the United States naval service, or they wished to extort some more money from him or his friends; for by paying a bribe of a few dollars it is easy to get any man out of the police jail, whatever may have been his offence. jut it is time that I should get to the last case, where a highly respected citizen of the United States was made the innocent victim of the almost incredible impudence of the rising native Pree On the evening of February 25 Mr. G, E. Fawcett, the well favorably known correspondent of the HERALD on the Isthmus, was returning with @ friend from his accustomed drive, when, not far from the city, he overtook two native lads on horseback. One of these turned off so as to let Mr. Fawcett’s buggy pass, but the other went st it on, and the consequence was that in spHe of Mr. Fawceit’s endeavors to rein in his high spirited horse the buggy struck the horse of young Paredes, which is the name of the yor im- udent. Mr. Fawcett stopped the horse to see if any lamage been done, when Paredes rode up to him and deliberately struck him across the breast with a riding whip. Mr. Fawcett did not return the blow, as he would only have jeopardized his life, seeing that his assailant was armed with a pistol and reasly to use it. Shortly after having returned to his residence, the Grand Hotel, Mr. Fawcett engaged in a game of billlards, when he saw the young native walk up to him, accompanied by a eee in @ threatening attitude, and with his hands in his pocket where he was known to carry a “Southerner.” Fawcett at once laid down his cue, caught the fellow by the wrists and forced him down on the floor, He would have contented himself with taking the pistol from the aggressor, but just then somebody ee him on the shoulder and spoke to him. He involuntarily let o his hold, Paredes took advantage of this and shot im from below, the ball taking etfect on the inside of the thigh, causing an ugly wound and penetrating 80 far upwards that the surgeon has been unable to find it, The wounded man was conveyed to his room, and the would-be aasassin, of course, made his escape. The Prefect of Panama, instead of taking measures to apprehend him, went to Mr. Fawcett's room, accompanied by the attorney of the depart- ment and an apothecary, who dubs lilmseif a doctor. All the foreigners present there, including the most respectable men on the Isthmus, advised Mr. Fawcett not to make any deposition, as this would not help him a bit, but only subject him to annoyance and trouble. They also told the Prefect that all trials where foreign lives or interests were concerned were nothing but farces, and that they did not wish Mr. Fawcett to take any legal proceedings against ¢ criminal, but intended to bring the maiter before @ higher tribunal. Since then Mr. Fawcett has been annoyed twice more by the authorities, who have even threatened to have the wound opened and probed by a physician of their choice, although the surgeon attending the wounded man has already ven his testimony. In the meantime the culprit a8 Not been at all arrested, but parades the streets, together with his friends, boasting of having again idated the “estrangeros.” Mr. Fawcett's friends, and other foreigners who have openly de- pon the shameful out . are constantly threatened by a lot of young villains who, through the impunity they enjoy, make tt necessary for every respectable foreigner to go about armed and avoid being alone in the street at night. ‘These outrages have acctimutated to such a degree now that if a speedy and efficient “oa is not ap- lied it will be downright impossible to live on the iathmns.

Petition for Protection to Americans=The Presidential Election, PANAMA, March 2, 1868, ‘The arrival of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany’s boat from San Francisco early this morning enables me to send a few lines in addition to my letter of yesterday, forwarded by the Fulton. A petition to the government of the United States is now in circulation among the American citizens resident at Panama containing a statement of the many wrongs they have to suffer from the local and State authorities and praying for protection. The pean so far has been signed by gvery one it has een presented to, with only two exceptions, and will be forwarded to Washington in two copies, one addressed to the President and the other to the State Department. The knowledge of this fact alone has already had the good effect upon the na- tives of making them a little uneasy about the consequences; but they hope that any remonstrances of the government of the United States will go in the usual way through the cireum- tion office at, Washington to the circumlocution Office at Bogota, so that it will be months before they reach the Isthmus in a very diluted form. If the government really intends to do something, a com- missioner should be sent out here, or the Consuls at Panama and Aspinwall and the commanding officers of the navy at the two places should receive special Instructions and be invested with exceptional Sora aaciemacs e excitement among the natives will perhaps be absorbed in a short time by the BUorOnhing election of President of the State, which is coming off in July. Here and in the immediate districts the only candl- date who has any chance is Dr. Pablo Arosemena, lately a member of the National Congress and prose- cuting attorney for the impeachment of Mosquera. ‘The only thing which in the opinion of many people here speaks against Dr. Arosemena is the rather sus- picious fact that the present administration openly works for his election. The only rival of any conse- sper is Dr. Amador Guerrero, a physician who re- sides at Santiago de Veraguas and is very popular in the departments of the interior, But President Olarte will, ut the middie of this month start on a tour through Chirigul, Veraguas, Los Santos and Coclé, for the purpose of preparing the elections to himself.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Approaching Elections—Trouble in the Gove ernmen—-State of Affairs in the North and South. La, Feb. 22, 1868, Peru is now given entirely up to the excitement and delight of an election campaign. Throughout the whole republic the only subject of conversation or interest is the approaching contest, and as almost a third portion of the population of the country are or are desirous of being candidates the topic is inex- haustible. A President and two Vice Presidents have to be chosen, and although it appears that the North are determined to have Colonel Balté as the chief of the, nraion, it seems that the South, and especially the department of Arequipa, are equally determined to one of their own section in that elevated position. Falling thisy the two Vice Presidents must, to counterbalance Balti’s northern proclivities, be from the southern country, In Lima many of the most respectable inhabitants have formed themselvesin to campagin clubs, and ap- pear, in this united eneition. to be exercising, a con- siderable degree of influence. Lima, considering herself rather mein rn than southern, ts staunch in her support of Balta. But elections in this country are conducted very loosely, and although the govern- ment has directed the Prefects of the different de- partments not to interfere with or influence in any manner the vote of the people, yet the old habit, now sanctioned and strengthened by time and usage, of forcing the people to vote for the government candi- date cannot be go suddenly and entirely dropped. However, no disturbance Is looked for during the period of elections, and all is quiet now. It will be recollected that Francisco Diez Canseco, the brother of the present ruler of Peruvian desti- nies, was made Commander and Supreme Chief of the Centre Departments by the revolutionary authori- ties. During his brief lod of éMice, ‘until his brother arrived from Arequipa, he exercised the most unlimited sway. Desiring some prominent postin the future government Francisco Canseco showered promotions and benefices upon all of his friends, and made himself, acting upon the charity at home maxim, a general in the army. Of course these acts were all entirely illegal, especially the last, for according to the constitution now in force no neral’s commission can be issued except by the consent of Congress, and Congress was not even convoked at the time of Mr. Canseco’s régime. After the arrival of the Vice President, Francisco Canseco was made chief of staff of the Pervvian army, the most lmportant military post in Peru, and one especially coveted by all revolutionary individu- als, as it enables them to piace their friends in ad- vantageous working positions. But the press, instigated by some vate individuals, bitterly attacked the self-assumed generalship of this chief of staff, and so annoyed him that he applied, as a matter of form, to his brother for its ratification, To his immense mortification and chargin the up lica- tion was ney and decisively refused, and in his anger he resigned his position as chief of staff and became one of the thousand and one candidates for the Vice Presidenc: The breach between his brother and himself is very wide. is circumstance, of itself not {mportant, will give a clear idea of the manner in which these things are conducted in Peru. General Canseco has issued, through the Treasury Department, a decree which restores aii pensions and gratuities granted formerly by the republic and which were very sensibly aboitshed in their greater part by Prado, This whi burden the exchequer to the amount of several millions annually, and in the present almost bankrupt condition of Pera will be the eause of much inconvenlence, Many of the pen- sions paid to ottcers and soldiers’ widows are no doubt well merited, and Prado recognized them, but numbers were given solely as personal favors and now have been restored. A civil officer here, after having served for some time, is allowed to retire on a pension consist- ing of two-thirds of his service pay. This measure is greatly to be applauded, but it has often happened that a civil oficer who had the good for- tune to be a friend of the Minister or President wou after having been in office but a few years, retire indefinite leave of absence, and receive, during such leave, full pay, This abuse has been in a degree recognized by Canseco, All the pensions conced by Prado, with the exception of those grante 5 count of the fighs with the Spanish squadr considered null and void. Yet Prado, with his ac- customed economy, granted so few of them that the dissatisfaction naturally arising from their suspen- sion is confined to a limited number of persons. The decree referred to speaks principaily of those pen- sioners who receive thelr annuities for services ren- dered during the war of independence, but in reality it embraces the classé above specified, Such a meas- ure is highly prejudicial at present, as the country imperatively requires strict economy. he Fears ual has been endeavoring to obtain a joan of twelve millions from the guano compani but has oniy succeeded in securing about two—enot for six weeks’ interior expenses. During the last revolution, which had for.its avowed object the = holding of the Catholic religion in Pera, which, indeed, had never been attacked, a newspaper was pooiaees in Lima, cailed Catholic Peru (Bl Pern atolica). This periodical was vehement in its stric- tures of Prado and was bigoted enough in ita opinions as almost to urge the re-establishment of Inquisl- torial power. During the contest it was well sup- ported by the religious portion of the community, and as the editor was the archbishop’s secretary it is probable that a part of the fonds of the faithful were expended pdt) ink and paper. But as soon as seco had entered Lima in triumph people forgot all about their religious ideas and commenced the scramble for preferment and office. The editor of the paper we speak of, saw his list of sub- seribers 80 woefully diminished that he published a gloomy fala pa asserting that the Ly bg had strayed from the righteous and that he was ob! to allow hue pape ieate the death of the just.{ The paper waa suspended and the religious 1é still are eager in their hunt. Poeneral Vivanco, who rendered ena odious in Peru by the iH with that, which provoked the revointion led by Trade hae re- torned fromfhis exile in Chile, and 18, like the gene- of his fellow citizens, a candidate for the Vice dency. As Canseco declared all of Prado’s acts null and Void the men exiled by the former for their country’s re now returning to Pera, and your correspondent lias been reliably informed that the vernment very sincerely regrets having issued a ree that conceded to them the right to return. ‘The still continues its commentaries upon the conduct of General Hovey, the American Minis- ter here, in refusing to acknowledge the new revolu- tionary government. If these wiseacres would only take the trouble to examine the diplomatic corres- pondence of the United States for the year 1866 they would speedily discover that our Minister in Peru has only as a faithful officer of his vovernment strictly carried out the positive orders received from the Department of State on this particular point, The United States steamer Wateree has just re- turned from a cruise along the northern coast of Peru. So many rumors of outrages committed in that section on ail foreigners induced the senior om- cer of our squadron in Callao to send this vessel par- ticularly for the protection of American tuterests, After having been absent about two weeks Captain. Gillis reports that the state of affairs in that portion of the country is not at all favorable, All large farm- ers and planters live In continual dread of being at- tacked and robbed, and the country is filled with roving bands of marauders, whose only object is murder and theft. These bandittl are all ardent admirers and staunch supporters of Colonel Baltt for the Presidency, and it is currently believed that he connives at some of their misdoing, wishing to fall back upon them as the nucleus of a revolu- tionary army in the case of his defeat in the ap- proaching election. In Trujillo, one of the most important towns in the north of Peru, a malignant fever is making terrible ravages. For several weeks upwards of fifteen peo- ple have died daily, and, as the town only has about ten thousand inhabitants this mortality is very great, All along the coast, and at Gallas principally, @ very considerable anxiety exists, and the most vigorous quarantine and health measures are bein, executed. With this on the north and the threaten api roach of cholera from the south the good people of Lima have canse for uneasiness. jolera never seenoret on this coast; but once attacking a a like Lima, where dirt reigns supreme, the mor- tallty would be tmmense. The cholera is now — ing Buenos Ayres, the neighbor to Chile. Once in Chile—and it is rapidly approaching her frontier—it would reach Peru with disagreeable rapidity. It might kill a number of the aspirants for the Vice Presidency; but at the same time it is a guest whose advent would be most unwelcome. ‘The last news from Arequipa gives us the informa- tion that everything is quiet in that section of the country, and the people are very busy in removing all traces left by the bombardment and the battle. In the Indian departments of Cuzco and Puno the Indians have been disbanded and sent to their homes. During the revolt these savages, instigated by some white men, committed murders and crimes which excel in atrocity those of our own aborigines. The Indians here in peace are mild and docile, but, when excited and in numbers, perfectly ungov- ernable. The whole country may be considered tranquil, and people are so much engaged discussing the merits of ‘he innumerable candidates for the Vice Presidency that they have no time to organize revolts, Business. is looking up. Buyers are arriving from the interior, and money appears to be plenty with them. In port, the United States steamships Wateree and Dakota and store ship Fredonia, REAL ESTATE MATTERS. A Word About “Buying In”—Sales in New York and Brooklyn Yesterday—Improved and Uniinproved Property in New York—Wil- liamsburg Lots. Among the popular fallacies which exist atthe present day there is none which exhibits in a greater degree that charming quality of gullibility, dear to politicians, and renders so ridiculous and obsolete the old comparison of the vor populi with the vor Dei as the belief (held religiously by many) that what- ever is put up at auction and subsequently knocked down is sold. Never was public faith more deceived and never more imposed upon, nor is this con- fined to any particular branch of trade, but extends throughout all the departments of speculative enterprise thus introduced to notice, Even real estate is not exempt from this system of “buying in,” as it 1s called, auctioneers being often compelled, in spite of their own better judgment, to urge property beyond its real value, at the maggenticns of owners, and finally to accept a bogus bid. Thus the published pe of sales give but a partial tdea of the state of the market, and must be taken cum grano sais if a proper apprecia- tion of its condition would be attained, Of the folly and mistaken judgment of thus dealing with bona Jide bidders none are more sensible than the auc- ‘tloneers, or better satistied with a carte blanche to sell “without reserve,” and truly 80. Greater proof of their sound perception in this matter, deduced from expertence, need not be required than the suc- cous snes, the recent great sales of Bleecker, and Johnson & ler, when every lot putup was dis- oftoa genuine purchaser at pelos scarcely anticipated. But such sales are rare, it being gene- the case, especially with improved pro ys that less than a third of that put up is really sold, The sales yesterday at the auction, excepting that of Brooj property, which will found below, were oor Ot great importance.
