.A.XTQUSTA. O-A.,: Thursday Morning, December 2,1875. The Condition of New York—Hard Money Growls—Free Trade. Mr. Edwin D. Mansfield, the phil osopher of the Cincinnati Gazette, has taken a trip to New York, and re cords his observations there in a most vigorous manner. He notes, first of all, that the hard money men have suffered a prodigious reaction and are not at all confident of a speedy return to specie payments, in spite of the defeat of Gov. Allen. The elections have not satisfied them, and the result of the elections has, if anything, plunged them into greater commercial embarrass ment. Mr. Mansfield, in view of these extraordinary mdtiifestations of lately rabid resumptionists, says: “The only solid ground to stand upon, at present at least, is to let things alone. The country won’t stand con traction upon any terms. There begins to be a perception of this truth in New York, and I suspect that the bankers and merchants who were so anxious for hard money will be will ing to let things alone. They begin to find out what the commercial history of the world has shown, that commerce lias its own laws, and that it will not submit to mere theory, although sup ported by the whole power of Congress. But what is the matter with New York ? And what is to be done for it ? That New York is relatively depressed in its business and growth, there is no question. There may be found new houses building, and there will be found a grand array of vessels and commerce; but, relatively, either to its former growth or to some other cities, it is depressed. For example, I noticed some large real estate sales, which indicated the general fact. One of the large insurance companies, which has been loaning a great deal of money, is foreclosing a number of them. A large piece of property sold for a small fraction —one-half the appraise ment—and thousands of dollars less than it had cost; two other pieces sold under two-thirds the estimated value.” Our sagacious Cincinnati philosopher shows that the New York of forty years ago and the New York of to-day are very differently circumstanced. The American Babylon is paying the penalty of overgrowth, and is at last being compelled to yield to Philadel phia, Baltimore and the great Western cities much of the trade she formerly monopolized. Her day of exclusive commercial supremacy has gone never to return. Mr. Mansfield also tells a a great truth when he declares that New York also suffers from a reaction against extravagance. His words are these : “No city can continue to live aud flourish in the hot-bed existence New York has had the last twenty years. Well, New York says, what is the matter? What istobe.done? Why, we ; oust get back to “honest money;” we must have specie payments. That is the remedy. Then comes the millen nium. Well, suppose you look over to Germany and France, and compare their financial condition. Germany robbed France of thousands of millions of dollars in gold. France had to ac cept paper money. What is the result? Germany is in distress, and France is prosperous. I am uot arguing the subject at all. I am endeavoring to show what New York is trusting to just now. The difficulty with New York is the difficulty of the whole com mercial world—in Europe, as well as America. It is simply that commercial business is overdone. All the world is trying to live by trading, or live by their wits. The greenest and most sanguine young man can see at once that the world cannot live upon trade, or upon their wits only. New York and Berlin have been trying to do that, and I hazard nothing in saying they will fail in it.” Mb. Mansfield does not touch upon one serious cause of New York’s de cline—the devastation of the South and abolition and slavery. It seems to be a righteous retribution that the city which had fattened upon the South, and then furnished the material for her overthrow, should pay the pen alty. There is one thing that may regain for this great metropolis a consider able part for her fading renown, and that is free trade. The wonderful and enormous growth of English, and French commerce may be said to date principally from the time when the manacles were taken from commerce. Whether New York shall gain or lose by such a policy, it is the duty of the South and West to unite on free trade, if not for the good of New York, at least for the benefit of the whole country. Tax on Bank Checks. —The United States Economist, learning that the leading bankers and business men of New York and other cities are taking measures to induce Congress to repeal that portion of the revenue laws re quiring a two cent stamp to be fixed on all bank checks, says: “The tax in the first place is equally invidious and vexatious. It invests Government officials with an authority to search the books or a firm according to their caprice or cupidity. No merchant has any guarantee that the news thus ob tained may not be used against him. The tax is also vexatious because it Interposes constant obstacles to the transaction of business at the very busiest time of day. It is also capable of demonstration that the last Con gress never intended to assess this tax. It was placed on the statute book by nobody knows whom, and ,it was not till ten or twelve days after the ad journment of the House that it was fished out by Commissioner Douglass, to the utter dismay of the financial community.” A Hint.—The Cincinnati Gazette says The new way to pay election bets is to charge that the election was carried by illegal votes—illegal if you lose; legal if vou win. It is called Shaddingering. It enables you to borrow money to stake with entire confidence. It is to be the game of heads I win, tails you lose. Liberia—A Sorry Failure—Remarka ble Theology. Our readers must have been re minded, by recent telegraphic dis patches, that the Liberian Republic was in a very bad way, and, being una ble to convert the native negroes or to whip them, has yelled out for more pro tection from this country and England. Not only this, but the melancholy fact has been stated that the theological students, pining for their naked rela tions and ancestral barbarism, have actually conspired to bring woe upon the people who had warmed them into Christian life, and by whose aid Wil son, Garrison, Sumner, Phillips, Wil berforce and Ciarkson dreamed that Western Africa should be what neither the Persian, .the Egyp tian, the Greek nor Roman civil ization had ever been able to ac complish. The fact is never was there a greater or bloodier farce than the whole abolition programme of England and the United States, and to their cost these countries are every day learning the folly and crime of legislating and agitating against Nature and Nature’s God. A writer in the New York Times, who is wise and witty, despite his pro nounced Republican tendencies, breaks out into what may be called an edito rial guffaw over the Liberian drama, and says : “One would naturally sup pose that the Liberians, armed with civilized shot-guns, and drilled in accordance with the tactics in vented by those two eminent gens darmes, the late Messrs. Dan Bryant and Nelse Seymour, would be easily able to repel the invaders. But it must be remembered that the Liberians are few in numbers, while Africa is crowded with native Kings. Then, too, the lat ter are familiar with the country, and understand the art of lurking in am bush behind convenient gollybosh trees, and hurling their spears into heedless groups of Liberian soldiers while the latter are playing policy. Bravery and skill can avail little against overwhelming numbers, and the most accomplished Liberian Gen eral at the head of a small army, in cumbered with baggage-wagons laden with whitewash brushes and unslacked lime, can easily be overwhelmed and defeated by the suddenj attack of a thousand warlike Kings. Moreover, there is treachery in the Liberian camp. It is openly asserted that among the students at the Cape Palmas Theological Seminary there are several who have only recently been converted to trousers, and whose sym pathies are actively enlisted on the side of their barbaric brethren. As a rule, the theological student in this I country is not a bloodthirsty or a dan ‘ gerous individual. It should, how ever, be remembered that he has been born in a land of trousers and educated amid the restraining and emollient in fluences of silk hats and paper collars. The African theological student, who has only just renounced the fetich and all his works, and is still tormented by doubts as to whether trousers should be worn on the legs or the arms, is a very different sort of person. It is not unreasonable to suppose that at times he hankers for the uneonfiaed legs of his savage youth, and is inclined to throw aside the ‘lnstitutes of Calvin,’ and to resume the study of the ‘Slave Hunters’ Manual’ and the ‘Cannibal’s Complete Cook Book.’ At any rate, the invasion of Liberia has rendered the native African theological students restless, and brought them under the suspicion of conveying treasonable in formation to the hostile Kings.” In view of the coast fever, wild Afri cans, semi-barbaric settlers, theological students “ unconverted to trousers,” and the stealthy march of the interior savages against the ramshackle settle ments that fringe the coast, we do most heartily congratulate an amiable, pious and universally respected clergy man of this city upon his determintion to remain a simple pastor in Augusta rather than assume the dubious honors and prospective martyrdom, or death in life at any rate, of a Liberian bish opric. The Speakership.— The foremost candidates for the Speakership of the House of Representatives are Randall and Kerb. A special to the Cincinnati Commercial says the friends of Mr. Randall are using the argument against Mr. Kerr that he is Tilden’s candidate for Speaker, and that the plan is to make him a candidate for Vice-President next year on a hard money platform. Some of Kerr’s friends think that he will make quite as much headway, and be quite as strong a candidate for the Vice-Presi dency if he gets the position of Chair man of the Committee on Appropria tions, which will give him the leader ship of the House. A gentleman who arrived from the southwest re ports that three Democrats from Ar kansas and three more from Texas are for Randall. Lamar, of Mississippi, and Senator Gordon are throwing their in fluence for Randall, and this will have a very considerable effect. It is said that Ohio Democrats are all opposed to Mr. Kerb, while Illinois Democrats are all for him. The New York Herald makes the following points: “When it is argued against Mr. Randall that he accepted the back pay voted by the last Congress, it should not be for gotten that Mr. Kerr, his competitor, also accepted back pay when voted by a Congress of a few years ago. The difference between Mr. Randall’s posi tion and that of Mr. Kerr is the dif ference between cant and sincerity, and every sincere Democrat will rejoice in the opportunity to show his respect for courage and manliness of opinion by welcoming Mr. Randall to the office of Speaker.” Stanley. —The Herald explorer has turned missionary on the banks of Lake Niyanza and is reported to have made a half-convert or some trouser less king. Having called for mission aries in that region, a wealthy English man has given §50,000 to supply the necessary raw material which will be well-cooked before the other half of that black king is turned to Christi anity. The Baptists— ln 1776 there were only 25,000 or 30,000 Baptist communi cants. They are now said to number about 2,000,000. Whiskey Slang. —The crooked whis key trials have developed some rich specimens of the American language. One of the slang expressions is “daddy under the hay,” and another is “the goose hangs altitudelum.” Schurz.— Hon. Carl Schorz believes that the third-term project is so dead that a ton of newspaper articles couid not resuscitate it. And yet a hundred and eighty-five pounds of Grant are very apt to accomplish what the news paper articles fail to bring about. Gov. Smith. —The Atlanta Herald says emphatically that Gov. Smith will not be a candidate for re-election, and that resolve, the editor says, he had from his own lips, and in such positive and sincere terms that it cannot be doubted for an instant. One sensation spoiled. Next! H. G.—We learn from several of our exchanges that the effort to build a monument to Horace Greeley has proved an utter failure, and there is talk of returning the money contribu ted. Wo are very soon forgotten when we are dead, especially if the contribu tion box be passed around among the mourners. An Editorial Used as a Sermon. — The Philadelphia Press says that on Thanksgiving Day Rev. A. J. Cather, of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, in West Philadelphia, after prayer, singing, and the reading of a psalm, read from a newspaper a Thanksgiving editorial, which, he said, he regarded as a good substitute for a sermon. Several times he paused in reading, aud commented upon the views expressed in the article. This is a valuable hint to ministers. Editors may return the compliment by using a good sermon occasionally. Fox Hunting. —The Brooklyn Eagle takes great pleasure in stating that during the fox-hunt in New Jersey the other day, when the whole party came to a sudden halt before a picket fence, the kind-hearted fox paused in its career, trotted back, beckoned the bold riders to follow it, conducted them to a place where some slats had been broken out, and did not resume its flight until the last man had crawled through. If foxes in New Jersey behave in that way, Mr. Bergh need not concern him self greatly about them. Last Words.— The admirers of Henry Wilson having attempted to put into his mouth a sonorous dying utterance, the Washington Chronicle declares that the Vice-President had no idea that his end was near, and on the morning of his death, a few moments before life was extinct, he said to his attendant, “ I guess I will take some more of that bitter xvater.” Let us hope that, awakening in another world, he found the waters of eternal life sweet and wholesome. Tit for Tat.— During the obsequies of the Vice-President at the Baltimore City Hall on Friday last, Major Harry Gilmor, a well-known and conspicuous Confederate cavalry officer during the late war, was introduced to Fred. Douglass, and a morning paper says the following occurred: The Major said, “Mr. Douglass, let us shake hands across tfle bloody chasm.” Mr. Doug lass replied, “No, Major Gilmor, there is no bloody chasm; let us shake hands across a free country.” The colored man had the best of the twaddle. Harry Gilmor has beenja rabid ward politician since the close of the war. GREENES BILMI COLOGNE. A DELICATE, FRAGRANT and LASTING PERFUME FOR THE TOILET AND HANDKERCHIEF.
