to censtre him for his in the be “dll-advis:d, unfortunate and incompati- ble with the duties of his official position.” Mr. Hewitt’s speech in the House sustaining the report puts additional emphasis upon the resolution of censure of General Schenck. He seems to be only one more victim of the thirst for money—the mercenary policy, which is born of a corrupt, miserly and greedy administration. One Hopeful Sign. Perhaps the most significant facts of recent occurrence in the commercial world were the sale of twelve thousand cases of dry goods by a house in this city on Tuesday last and the other sales of the same class made since. That first sale appears to have originated in | ® spirit of strictly logical enterprise, the purpose of which was in the common phrase “to know the worst ;” to ascertain, in fact, whether there is any basis on which transac- tions in dry goods can be made; to find whether there is a market at any price and what that price is. It is tobe presumed that if this sale had fallen flat—if the invita- tions had not been responded to, or if the prices had been altogether hopeless ones— the discouragement felt in this, as in all wther lines of trade, would have been ieeper, and, bad as the conditions have been lately, we might have experienced an even greater stagnation. Conversely, therefore, it is to be supposed that a good result gives reason for more cheerful thoughts. f Searcely any one concerned in the venture sould have hoped in his most sanguine moments for a result so good as was ob- tained. It is estimated that from seven to ten thousand persons were present, and that in this number the dry goods dealers in every part of the country were represented— a fact which may certainly be accepted as Indicating a widespread opinion that trade tan be developed at satisfactory prices, The great interest thus manifested was the first pleasant surprise in the case, and the next ‘was found in the views held and shown in the bidding as to what satisfactory prices are. Itis discovered that the prices which can be obtained are not by any means such as to afford gloomy prognostications. To the surprise of the sellers their goods went, upon the whole, for rates at which they are | ‘understood to: be willing to duplicate the | lots. In fact, the level of prices was found to be so much better than it was thought it would prove that the moral result is a very Breat- encouragement. | It is as necessary in trade as in philosophy | to have a “postulate,” and the practical pos- | talate is the price for which any articfe can be sold. That, once ascertained, is the starting point on which calculation can con- struct’ all the rest. Given the price for which a thing can be sold, and modern in- dustry will make the thing for that price. , It can show the producers and holders of the raw material that they must sell for such H 3 proportion of that price or not sell at all, | and they yield. It can even coerce labor, the most obstinate element in the case. It tan economize by new processes. Dry goods men may take from this sale an indi- | cation of the basis on whith they can run | their mills, and we do not doubt the fact | will give a great impulse to their operations. | It is, moreover, scarcely possible that this | impulse, once given, Should be restricted to one line of commercial and industrial activity, A Corgxsponpznt replies to the Hzratn’s strictures on the imperfect catalogues sold in the Centennial grounds by saying that it “was impossible to have the first edition perfect when a large portion of the exhibits had not been received.” This being the | case why were these imperfect catalogues printed and sold as official ?

The English press comment favorably upon the attitude of the Queen’s government toward the Berlin Conference. WHY THE QUEKN DISSENTS FROM THE NOTE. A special despatch from Vienna to the Telegraph says England’s note relating to tho memorandum agreed upon by the three Chancellors assigned as reasons for her retusal to accedo thereto that tho Powers wore substantially agreed that the original note of Count Andrassy went as far as it could without an infringement of the Porte’s sovoreignty ; that sufficient time had not been allowed for the execution of the ac- cepted reforms; that Montenegrin breaches of neutrality had prevented the pacification which the Powers con- | sidered necessary (o the execution of the reforms; that the proposed military disposition of the Turks and the insurgents seems to England a premium for renewed hostil'ties; that the gigantic system of gratuitous relict proposed would be beyond Turkoy’s ability to grant, | and would be seriously. destructive of the morality, thriltinoss and industry of the people; thatthe pro- posal to take more effectual measures at the end ot a ‘two months’ armistice is a sufficient encouragement to the insurgents to continue the rebellion and an induce- ment to Montenegro to persevere in her breaches of neutrality, hoping thereby to obiain an accession of territory, and that the proposal to bring war sbips into the Dardanelles amouvts toa proposal to violate the treaty of 1856, and is directly contrary to the long established custom of preventing vessels of war passing those straits. THE REASONS SATISFACTORY. The Pall Mall Gasetle accepts the foregoing as a cor- rect indication of England’s reasons for its refusal, and says itis a reply with which there is every reason to be satisfed.

New ORLEANS, May 25, 1876. This morning before breakfast the Emperor drove out accompanied by the Visconde de Bom Retiro. ‘The impression made on His Majesty by New Or- leans has not been favorable. He finds a noticeable difference between the energy and bustle of the Northern and Western cities and the easy going aspect of the creole population. His Majesty no- ticed with evident disappointment that grass was ! growing in the streets. He also commented on the absence of a good system of street cleaning, which is very apparent. This being a holiday of obligation in the Catholic } Church the imperial party attended service in the Cathedral of St. Louis, where the arrival of their | Majesties created a slight sensation among the faithful. The old Cathedral presented a very inter- esting sight, as some hundreds of young girls were present dressed in white, with white veils, to re- | ceive the sacrament of confirmation at the hands of Monsignor Ignacio de Oca, Bishop of Tamaulipas, Mexico, Leaving the Cathedral the Emperor proceeded to visit the so-called Mechanical and Agricultural College, but found nothing deserving of the name. Owing to a real tropical downpour of rain His Majesty retired to the St..Charies, where he had a long interview with the doctors of the Board of Health on the subject of the yellow fever and the best means of preventing the spread of that fearful | epidemic. Very little new light was thrown on the subject. Dr. Souza Foutes represented the Brazilian medi- cal body in the conference. The accepted idea was | that a perfect system of quarantine could prevent | the introduction of the infection, but that in practice it was found impossible to put quarantine regula- tions sufiiciently stringent into operation. The New Orleans doctors attribute the comparative freedom. enjoyed by the'city from this scourge of the tropics jarantine regulations of the port. In the evening a second consultation on this im- portant subject was held, ‘Their Majesties after dinner drove out to Lake | Pontchartrain, which they very much admired, ‘The Empress has decided to visit the jettles at the | mouth of the Mississippi, which are being con- structed under the directions of Captain Eads, His , work.

Joseph Malcolm, Frederic Hertell and William Rusher gave unimportant evidence. Michael Walsb, of No. 240 Monroe street, testified that on Sunday aiternoou he called with Hussey at lealey’s residence in High street, and Healey accom- panied them to Bull’s house; as the prisoner was not at home they weut to a liquor store avd drauk; in the even'ng they calied again at Bull's house und Husse' told bim to come out; heard deceased exclaim ‘Pick Up that pistol,” which was dropped on the sid-walk by | Bull; two women came down stuira during the sculfle that ensued, and began to use either swords or clu; Hussey suddeuly said he was stabbed; deceased told witness that he wanted to see Bull to tell him be was | pone to work in New Yo-k, and had some words with im about some money that was owing him.
