Habilities reaching $85,252,000. These figures show an increase in the number of failures each yoar since 1870, but a decrease in the average amount of habilities for each failure since then. The following figures exbibit the number of failures ang the average amount of liabilities for the = five years in the United States and in New York city:—United States, 18) humber of failures, 7,740; average liabilities, $25,960; 1874, 5,830, av ge liabili” ties, $26,627; 1873. 5, 1183, $44,085 ; 1872," 4.069, 520,006; 1871, 2,915, $20,245."

The number of persons now reported in business in the United States is 630,000, Of this number 7,740 have failed during the year, indicating a proportion of one in every cighty-two. The figures in the table from Cali- fornia, where business is dot n & gold basis, indicate forty-two has failed; wiile in Canada, with a fow tartif, a most admirable banking sys- tem on a gold foundation and a lignt taxation, the figures are even more suggestive, the number of fail- ures having been one in every twenty-eight, Some interesting conclusions may be drawn from the amount of liabilities to be charged to profit and loss, | and the effect upon those that remain in trade. The lia- bilities of the 7,740 who failed in 1875 are in round numbers $200,000,000. From this amount should be | deducted 10 per cent for advance on original cost of Seino, 000 sold to these parties, leaving an apparent lock-up of 80,000,000, Estimating the average yield of failed es to be 33 1-3 per cept (under the operations of the new Bankrupt ieee it wi}l fall far short of that), the | actual loss to eapital account by the fatlures of the year will stand at about $120,000,000, Thix amount is equiv- alent to the value of one-haif of the cotton crop, and is | more by thirty per cont than the entire yield of all the gold and silver mines of the country. This $120,000,000 of loss represents a profit at 10 per cent on $1,200,000,000 of business. ‘THE COMPROMISE SYSTEM. In this connection it 1s remarked that the system of compromising indebtedness is open to great abuse. The trade of the South has been demoralized by xet- tlements with parties unworthy of contidence, who, while abie to impose on their creditors, underzell the honest merchants who give doliar for dolinr, An ad- vantage to the whole business community, it is be- lieved, would be the weeding out of these unworthy traders. The compilers of this cireular say they find it dim- cult to epitomize the condition of trade at the close of the year. While depression and Iack of contidence are noticed in the East as well as a portion of the South, the West bas exhibited increased activity and mado larger purchases, In these latter sections {t 1s esti- mated that $250,000,000 have been realized for cotton, grain, pork, &e., thus stimulating local retail trate. And better still, much more remains to be realized on the stores of the past autamn, Aside from sectional improvement, however, it is said that in general values there would be found a sbrinkage on an estimate being made, Ut has been found, however, that during th just closed the active surplus oF capital employed in the mercantile trade of the country has been shown to be in larger proportion to the extent of business done, and to the amount of existing liabil- tie, than atany time in our previous history, aud is possibly in excess of that ofany other country in the world liaving a proportionate extent of internal trade. Afier reviewing the cause of past disasters, a glance is tuken toward the future. The circ gocs on to say :—-"Tae mnspiriting national event Centennial year will, it is believed, for a time intuse considerable activity In some localities. A great influx of visitors from abroad, and the necessary circulation of money which is implied in the movement ot large numbers of our own poptilation, can hardiy fatl to vi- talize some drooping interests, This temporary 1m- pulse may be taken advantage of in the progress toward Prosperity, but the hopes of a fature sound business superstructure mukt rest on the basis of h and economy, less xed and more floating ca cl er adjustment of values to a reduced cost of pr ‘tion. Vradence in extent of trade, reduction o} living and business expenses, lessened indebtedne: and close seratiny of credits are the elements that will most help to resiore confidence and beget a return wn condition of business in which tpeney can be made, the resources of the country developed and success achieved.’ FAILURES IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY. Istac] Farjeon, jeweller, of No. 67 Nassau strect, faited yesterday. He saidto a Hersno reporter that He does not expect to make an assignment, He will have a full statement ready in afew days. Ho 19 said to have failed belore, in 1566, and to have settled with his oreditors on the basis of filty cents on the dollar. Charles R. Townsend and Henry A, Moore assigned yesterday to Gersham ii, Stith, Pottborg & Schroeder, grocers, of No. 1,101 Secord avenue, Whose assignment to Henry Welk appeared last week, state their liabilities to be $8,346 41, Their 800, the amount of hig Habilities would be about $70,000, | noticed last week, has Vabilities | 71 and assets wortl ‘$800. rth & Standinger, who recently assigned to George Standinger, have liubilities amounting to $1,706 83; assets, $1,136 61, the actual value of which ts not over $1,000. Bonds wore fled in the latter amount, | The firm of Cuthbert, Ross & Cook, wholesale liquor dealers, No, 38 Burling slip, which made an assign- ment to Smith T, Baker, have succeeded in making an rangement with their creditors Their liabilities mounted to $11°,585 20, aud their real assets were $80,000. The assignee collected over $40,000 of tho assets, and the firt red to compromise at forty cents on the dollar, which has been accepted. There is a movement on foot awong the creditors of Gerry, Tilton & Coiwell, iron, No. 6 Rector street, tow- ard a compromise. The firm were extensively engaged in the iron trade and made an assigument some time ago to E. F, Bacon and E. L. Wiggin.

A Hera.p representative called on the firm men- tioned soon after the report of their trouble was made Public, and received the tollowing information from Mr. Shaw, the confidential bookkeeper :—“The rumors on the strect are absurd, expecially as to the dealings in California stocks ascribed to the house ; we, have made 'y losses, chiefly chargeable to those who owe us and for whose accounts we aro carrying Amounta of stocks, I refuse to say whether Jacob Rubino or Daniel Drew are our debtors—you can draw your own conclusions.’” Upon visiting Mr. Francis H.

THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS, WILL MR, CAMPBELL BE CONFIRMED ?—THE QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD OF ALDER- | MP—INTERVIEWING THE MEMBERS. Tt was generally conceded around the City Hall yes- terday that Mr. Allan Campbell, who has been nomi- nated by Mayor Wickham for Commissioner of Public Works, will be confirmed by the Board of Aldermen at their next meeting. A Hrratn reporter yesterday es- sayod to put all the members of the Board of Aldermen | on record as to the nomination of Mr. Campbell. democrat charged that Allan Campbell’s connection with Vanderbilt alone was enough to damn him; another short-baired Tammany man had learned that Campbell, asthe engineer of the Fourth avenue improvement, had appeared before the committee of the Board of Al- dermen time and again and opposed the demands of the citizens along the line of the improvement for the covering over of the work. Another's objection was that ALLAN CAMPBELL WAS NOT A DEMOCRAT; that up tothe time of the Greeley movemunt he was arepublican, and that then he arrayed himself with the liberal republicans, and has acted in that interest ver since. Alderman Morris said:—All the republicans are for confirmation, They consider Mr. Campbeli able | engineer and a gentleman who will faithfully admin- ister the dnties of the office. My opinion, from what I know of the views of my associates, is, that he will get evéry republican vote. Alderman Howland—I think, as far as the republi- cans are concerned, the vote will be unanimously for confirmation, He is = man of such high character that I believe no man on the republican side of the house will vote against him. THR VIYIDED DEMOCRACY. While the republicans are unanimously in favor of | the confirmation the democrats are not, and nothing | but the clearing up of two or three points will give him their unanimous vote. These points ai Fird—Is he a consistent democrat’ - PE ics ra. he in favor of restoring the rate of labor- | jes to $2perday? And, bat re If confrmea, will he act, or will he conveni- ently act as a “dummy” in the interests of the “swal- low tails,” and shipping aside pernmt the Mayor t nominate a creature of his to fiil the vacaney, a thus—as one of the Tammany Aldermen expressed “put us in ahole.’? The democrats questioned yester- day are as follows:— Alderman Taomey—I have no objections to him. He will certainly be confirmed, and, 1 think, unant- mousiy. I shall ¥yote for him, you may say. Alderman Toner—I understand Mr. Campbell don’t | want the place, and I am not in favor of foreing it upon anyone. Itisalittie suspicious that all the repub- | licans are going to vote for him. I think, howe there is no doubt of his confirmation if be acce he isa gentleman well qualified for the place, Sauer will likely vote, with the majority ot his party, for confirmation. Alderman Gumbleton—I think his confirmation will | be unanimous. Ido not think there is the slightest doubt of his confirmation. You can put me down for him, although I have not conferred to-day with any of my democratic colleagues. ‘Alderman Lysaght—From what I can learn I guoss he will get the whole vote ot the Board, Tat for | him because he is a good man, and, | understand, square democrat, Alderman Keenan—I will not say now bow I will vote, You ought to have Mr, Campbell interviowed on the labor question. Alderman Parroy—Mr. Campbell ts an exectient ma All the papers speak highly of bim as a good democrat, That is enough, if he ix a good ongineer, and all agree that he a competent man, Ithink he will be con- firmed unanimously. a Alderman Seery-—I shail, with, my present know!- | edge of the man, vote for confirmation and earn iy support. hy My opinion is that he will bo anauimonsly confirmed, and 1 supp ir. Kelly is ta- vorable to him, as he knows bin we ‘Alderman MeCarty—Iic 1# a very accoptable man, yet | I would have preferred a retired contractor of pract!- cal knowledge of the wants of the Public Works Depart.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT AMNESTY. crea The Bill as Amended Defeated by the Republicans, THE ALABAMA CLAIMS COMMISSION, | HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wasuixeron, Jan 14, 1876. Bills were introduced and referred as follows: of the bill was excollent and its object admirable, seomed to violate the constitution, as it involved the Su- preme Court Judges and the President, fle, therefore, thought it should be referred to some committee, The previous question was not seconded, and the bill was referred to the Committee on Appropriations. Mr. Hanp, (dem.) of N. Y., from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill providing that the hailing place of every registered, enrolled or licensed vessel of the United States may hereafter be the town or city where the vessel was built, or where the managing | owner or owners shall reside, and that the name of such town or city shall be painted on the stern, He explained that the necessity for tho bill grew out of | some recent construction of the Treasury Department making the hailing place of vessels the ports of entry from which their papers wore issued. The bill was passed. THE PUBLIC NDR. Ur. Mom, (rep,) of Tat, from the same committee reported tho bill repoaling section 2.303 of the Revised Statutes, which conOnes the disposition of tho puolic lands in'Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida. He explained that in 1866 an act had beon passed restraining the disposal of the public lands of the United States in those. fire States, und the object of the bill was to remove that triction. Mr. Waicnt, (dem.) of Tenn., suggested an amend- ment, exempting the Hot Springs Reservation in Ar- kansas from the operation of the act, Mr. Morxy said he had no objection at all to that amendment. Mr. WALLS, (rep.) of Fa., said that, representing in part a State in which there were nearly two millions of acres of public lands which had been set aside for the poor people of the country, he could not favor the ill, Mr. LAwnencr, (rep.) of Ohio, opposed the bill, which he described as a measure by which millions of acres might be gobbled up under the Pre-emption law and pass into the hands of speculators, Mr. Dexnnut, (rep.) of Minn., favored the recommit- tal of the bill, anid argued that the time had come for Congress to protect the timber lands of the country ep then: out of the hands of speculators. Mr. Townsexn, Pp.) of Pa, said:—I also favor its recommittal, with a view of having a bill reported ap- plying the Homestead law exclusively to all the public, lands of the United States. Mr. Coxaen, (rep.) of Mich said that there were organizat waiting tor the passage of this bill, in order to enter on the pine lands of the South and absorb them. He be- lieved that intwo weeks after the passage of such a law all the valuable bodies of pine lands inthe South would be absorbed by speculators and bought up at trom twelve to twenty-five cents an acre, Mr. McDinn, (rep.) of lowa, also a member of the Committee on Public Lands, ‘reported that under all the circumstances the bill should be recommitted, Mr. Hewitt, (dem.) of Ala., spoke in favor of the bill, and said that the people of Alabama were almost uhun- imously 1m favor ot it. Mr. Morxy, of Lousiana, repelled the insinuation that the bill was in the interest of speculators, but said that out of deference to the wishes of many members he would consen' 8 recommittal, Mr. Hotmay, of Indiana, proposed that the commit- tee be instructed to inquire into the expediency ot re- pealing all Jaws authorizing the disposal of the public lands, except to homestead settlers. Mr. Saruer said that the Committee on Public Lands had already that subject under discussion and did not heed to be instructed. Mr. Housan thereupon withdrew the proposition and the bill was recommitted. THE AMNESTY MILL. Mr. Kxorr, (dem.) of Ky., reported back the Amnesty opposed the bill, and ns ail over the country z The bill reads as follows :— ‘That all the disabilities imposed and remaining on an; person, by virtue of the third section of the fourteent cle ofthe amendments to the constitution of the United States be and are hereby removed, und exch and every person is and shall he forever relieved therefrom on his ai Benring before a judge of any court of the United: States, or of any court of record in the State in which he is a resi: and taking and subseribing the following oath, duly tested nnd recorded :— 1.

Mr. Ksotr movi the previous question on tho passage ot the bill. Mr. McCkary, (rep.) of Iowa, a member of the Judiciary Committee, asked Mr. Knott to yield him the floor fora moment. Mr. Kxorr replied that it would afford him pleasure to yield to his colleague and to other gentlemen on peace of the country nor the harmony of the House re- quired any further discussion of the proposition. Mr. Frye, (rep.) of Me,, also a member of the Jud ask & single question. Several democratic members objected, and. Mr, Cox, of New York, said:—"We have had enough of talk.” Mr. BLame, (rep.) of Me.—Will the gentleman (Mr. a letter re: all, 1 insist on the previous question. Mr. Frve—I simply desire to ask whether the re- publican minority on the Judiciary Committee con- curred in the report. Mr. Cox (vociferously)—I call order. Maine is always out of order. (Laughter) Mr. Baiskx—I understand that the gentleman from Kentucky declines either to admit an amendmont or to allow debate. Loud calls of Order!" on the democratic side, Mr. Raxpaut (in tone of remonstrance)—You know better than to do this, Mr. Cox (somewhat more angrily)—You have been in the chair youself and ought to know better, (Laugh- ter. Mr. Biasye—I wanta distinct understanding, More shouts of ‘order’? trom the democratic side, The previous question was seconded and the main | question ordered—yeas 183, nays 92. Mr. Sentyn, (imd.) of Mass., called attention to the faulty grammar in the construction of the bill, the phrase ‘each and every person’ being treatea ag the plural instead of the singular case. ‘The error was ordered to be corrected. ‘The House then proceoded to on the bill, The vote resulted—yeas 182, 8 97. So, the re- quisite two-thirds not voting in favor of 11, the bill was rejected.

Vance, Robbins, Ashe and others tried to get the floor to reply to Mr. Holden's letter; but Mr. Biaine absolutely refused to yield, and said, tauntingly, *What have you got to say to that! Purely w political impeachment.” Mr, BANks—He is not the only person in the land dee prived of wilice, Mr. Buaixx- It is purely a politiecal—not prosecuti bat persecution—the persecution of a Union man, an to-day it is within the design of the democratic party of Mississippi to remove Governor Ames from his chair by impeachment, and to disquality him.
