a sou vHKBitrvL view, Mr. Henry Clews, of New York, bas^teen repbrtodas'asyftg: “We ■bill soon enter upoiftfie new'vear •r 188ft, and * tinder quite firorablo auspice*, produced by cheap food, cheap clothing, cheap money, cheap •tooka, cheap paaaenger fareB, cheap freigbta, cheaper coal .cheaper labor, and with the prospects of cheaper rente and cheaper real eetate, all of which united constitute a legitimate and genuine baeie for real prosper! ty In a country abounding In Inez, baustiblo natural resources as decs America. Hence hope should now begin to toko the place of the here tofore existing doubt, and by a united effort on tiro part of the worldwide recognized enterprise of the people o! this country, we will soon get out of, the present gloomy rut, and prosperity will again reign Atom one end of the na- tion to the other and be enduring In 1U character." The ooubtry will heartily echo and rS-eehothe hope that Mr. Clews pray be right in his obeerful predic tion* and anticipations. And there seems no good reason to doubt .£hcjr fulfillment. Already the sighs point to a revival of business on a solid ahd substantial,basis. The Wires do not brlog ns the news, so constantly as they did a short time since, of shuttings down of manu factories ahd the'eonsequent throw, ing out of thousands oi men Horn employment. To the contrary, the reports are that manufacturing and general trade are showing decided signs of Hie, and that ere long we may reasonably hope for a genuine revival. When the rlwal does come its inbstantisllty will be itsmost prom lslog feature. The country haa about passed through the period of froth and artifice, which led to the wild speculation and extravagant living that has characterized all kinds of bnelneee for some years baok, and whleh finally led to the bursting of the bobble last summer. Since then the atmosphere haa been greatly purified, and matters bare already assumed a more healthy . tone. This etatement Is corrobor. ated by all our exchanges which make the condition of the business world an object of special study, and the opinion prevails that the bottom his been reached. Bad- ness of alMrinds will for a time at M bwoondnoted^ooi safer and methocia, and this will natri- ally produce confidence, and the more general mvestmeht of capital. The New Year about to te ushered in, therefore, promises to be deold. edly more bright and oheerful than its predecessor, whoso days are rapidly drawing to a close. POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Latch.—1 bcllevenei Although the Nation was led to believe that ' when the State De partment asked ior I960,00# last summer It desired to use the money In baying the rights of certain persons then bolding a concession or in beginning work for the pur- poee of preventing tho lapse of the •bom concession, the matter was handled in snob a way that this explanation did not satisfy some persons. A Washington corres pondent now shows that their sus picions were well founded. When Secretary Prelinghnysen appeared before the Houae Committee on Appropriations last Summer he ad mitted to members of that com mittee that the money was to be wMd.tt he should obtain it, In “getting several Nicaragua officials mAof the way." In abort, Con gress was asked to give money to be used na a corruption fund with officers of the Nicaraguan Govern ment! The Senate appears to hate regarded corruption of the kind proposed at n smart i stroke of diplomacy, bat the House rightly took another view of the proposi tion. It is not strange that mem. ben who have known how the de partment intended to use thatmon. ep should now hesitate about. sup. porting the treaty, and should re- quire acenrate - Information about the land strip, tbe ioan of $4,000,- vOOft.aad some other features of (M •cessment.
