Ruslnrna Outlook.
There are two claasee of our capi
talists one who believe we huvo
reached the bottom price, and t br
other that do not agree with the
first, while a third do not know what
to think.
The first class believe that now Is a
good time to buy anything, as the de
rangement of our financial interest
has about run its course. They have
made up their minds that everything
in the shape of merchandise and real
estate has about reached its lowest
price, and that the future tendency
must be upward when the change
takes place, and aH a natural conse
quence whatever activity the market
presents, this class Is making the
stir. If any casual reader will com
pare the prices of to-day with the
price of all articles before the recent
]wnlc, whether groceries, dry goods,
or lands, they will find the prices ma
terially diminished, and at a rate in
keeping with the law of supply
and demand, and hence can get
hut little lower, if any, and
If ever there wuh a good opportunity
to buy, now seems the propitious sea
son. Men who think this way, are
seen every day laying in their sup
plies, and making their investments.
Huch is decidedly the ease in Colum
bus. Our merchants bought under
this belief, and they are unable to
satisfy the demands of the retail and
whosesale trade adjacent to our city at
living rates.
There is still another class of the
people, who think things have not
yet reached the worst, and that many
things havo yet to find their level.
Their reasons are founded on the
opinion, that a re-action will take
place from the many extravagancies
enjoined by fictitious credit and pros
perity that followed in the wake of
the war, and the inexperience of our
farmers in their new system of labor,
the turning out of unsound firms
and corporations, and the decrease
in the matter of wages of laborers,
&c. We rcspectfullysubmit theopln
ion, there are but few commercial
enterprises that have not been
brought within their contracted capi
tal, and but few men who have not
reached the bottom of their credit in
this country.
No, thebostof living is at its lowest j
ebb, not only for the reuson thut I
things uro as cheap as they will be,
but, the consumers are now econom
ical, and hence less Is consumed,
which throws a more abundance on
the market.
Now is the time for men with idle
capital to make investments, for with
a good year the people of the South
will aguln be prosperous, and from
their very nature prosperity leads
them iuto extravagances, which bet
ter experience cannot control. It is
their nature, and while by degrees
thoy will become more provident, yet
they will gratify their lust and their
appetite when they have the means
or can control it. Now that they
have not the means is a necessary
cause of the decline in all things
controlled by us, and never has a
more favorable season dawned upon
capitalists than now. When the
change comes, it must be for the
better.
ThurKiw We*a on ihr HUiiutlon.
Thuriow Wood, the Inveterate
hater of the Houtli, is out in a letter
to the New York Tribune, in which
he despairs of the Republican party.
He has been for years an editor and
politician, and is able to judge, as far
as most men, of coming events. His
bitter hatred to the South for her di
gression from his peculiar sectional
stamlqioint, prevents him from giv
ing us full justice In his letter. The
South resented the encroachments of
Mr. Weed's party from its very in
cipio.ney, and for it he has never for
given us, though he now admits that
his party has gone too far. He is
fearfully indiguaut at the third term
movement, and quotes Washington’s
example, set to a young republic, in
doelining a third term. He inter
prets the Democratic gains through
out the Union, to the opposition of
the people to the third term pro
gramme. He says but little on the
Louteiana and Arkansas matters,
though he fails to justify Grant's
military policy to the South. He is
squarely opposed to the Civil Rights
bill, and says that all that can be
done for the negro is already done,
und the Civil Rights and all such
measures are wrong, ami only de
feat the party.
What ? A Democratic State Treas
urer in Georgia! Impossible! Whole
is Bullock ? Washington Republican.
It matters not where Bullock - is
with his *0,000,000. He, Clews and
Kimball have all the stolen money of
Georgia, and the Democratic Treas
urer, Jones, has not one cent of it,
dither personally or in the State
Treasury, where it should be. it will
certainly apjiear so, and to our mind
and all else, save three or four bitter
enemies of his on the Committee, it
has already been made clear that his
garments are clean.
The address to the Southern people
recently issued and signed by the
Southern and Southwestern Demo
cratic members of Congress, was
drawn up by Senator Gordon, of
Georgia.
It is now rumored again that two
leading members of the Cabinet
Brlstew awl Fish—will resign if Pres
ident Grant jieraists in his course to
ward the South as outlined in his
force bill. But resignations of that
character seldom occur.
TO INQUIRING FKIINDS.
Shin* i/.—Tho authorship of “All
quiet along the Totomao to-night,”
seems to be somewhat In dispute.
The public and the press, at the time
of its appearance, only knew it as the
production of Lamar Fontaine, of
Mississippi. It is averred, however,
by some of the friends of Col. Thad
Oliver, formerly of Buena Vista, Ga.,
now deceased, that the lines are his.
Tho piece has true poetic lire and
pathos.
“I am dying, Egypt, dying,” was
written by General Lytle, of the Fed
eral army, who was killed, we believe,
at Chickamauga. There are, in our
opinion, no better American lines in
existence. The piece was founded
upon the words of the dying Antony,
In Hhakspenre, addressed to Cleopa
tra, who being Queen, was by meto
nymy called Egypt.
J. C’.—“Can you recommend Co
lumbus as a location for a lawyer ? ’
Not at all. There are between thirty
and forty here now, and about busi
ness enough for sir. Daniel Webster
said there was room enough in the
upper story; the difficulty now is that
It is all room und no s/s/ils. if your
present location supports you, stand
by it.
Edward C. ./.—Louis Napoleon was
the son of Louis Bonaparte, a brother
of the great Napoleon, and Hortenoe
Iteuuharnuis, a daughter of Josephine.
He was their third son, two dying in
infaney. The son of Nupoleon Bona
parte by Marla Louisa was called t he
Duke of Reichstadt, and died before
he was twenty-one years of age. Na
poleon tho First had not a drop of
French blood in his veins; he was
pure Italian. The French acquired
Corsica about two months before his
birth.
Mien M. M.— The reason February
has twenty-nine days on every fourth
year is a merely arbitrary one. Tho
earth revolves around the sun once
In every 365 days 5 hours 47 minutes,
iScc. Inasmuch as the excess over 365
days is so near six hours, it is called
one-fourth of a day, making a whole
one In four years. It was tacked on
to February because it needed mure
help than the other months. Wo
heard a gentleman say once that he
had a kinsman born on February
29th, who consequently had a birth
day only once in four years.
li. W. ./. SAWhere will be found the
quotation, ‘A looker on in Venice’?”
Nowhere at all; there is no such line.
The correct reading Is, “A looker on
here in Vienna,” and is to be found
in Shakspeare’s “Measure for Meas
| ure.”
Maurice. The reason why tho car
in which a person is seated seems to
be moving when another train is
passing by, is explainable as a men
tal delusion, founded upon the fitness ;
of things, and of which it is almost
impossible to rid one’s self. It is the
effect of that mental operation which
transfers motion to thA ft matin' body.
The car in which we sit is confined
and circumscribed in Its space ; the
passing train occupies und fills the
vision. If, while we seem to be mov
ing, there should pass several open
or uncovered cars, the illusion Is at
once dispelled. Clouds passing swift
ly over tho moon, produces the same
deception; looking just as if the
moon, and not the clouds, is the
moving body.
Sam. -”! have heard it said that
the English language furnishes seven
different soundings of the syllable
ough. I can think of only/ire. What
arc the two others, if any more?”
There are indeed seven, as follows:
through, though, tough, trough, bough,
hough (hock/ and hiccough ( hiccup. i
Foreigners, we believe, concur in
pronouncing the English language to
be the most difficult of any to be
learned and spoken. There is no
analogy in it. Wo can not predicate
of the pronunciation of one word, any
rule for pronouncing words of similar
orthography.
DcMurcus. There is no difference
between a foot square und u square
foot. There is, however, a difference
of four times an much between two
feet square and two square feet.
There was an exciting debate in the
French Assembly on Tuesday over
the report of the Committee of Thir
ty on tho hill to establish a Senate.
The bill provides that the councils
general, tho colonies, the assembly
and the institute shall elect tho Sen
ate. A resolution was adopted urging
immediate action on the bill, and
thereupon the members of the Right
withdrew in a body. The Assembly
then adopted an amendment provid
ing that the departments and colo
nies shall elect 225 Senators and the
Assembly 75.
But five more working days remain
in which the present Congress can
enact mischief and woe. It is stated
thut tlic Democratic Senators have
generally agreed that the following
named measures in their relative or
der uro the most repugnant, and will
bp o] >posed to the last: First, the c ivil
rights bill; second, the President’s
Arkansas message; third, the habeas
corpus or third term bill.

There are fifteen foreign born citi

DIR WASHINGTON GUTTER.
WaahikotoW. Feb. 35, 1875.
If the Opposition members of the
House who have been re-elected to :
the 44th Congress, care ono-fourth us
much for the liberties of their coun
try us for their individual interests,
they will contrive, at ull buzzards, to
secure an extra session of Congress.
If they neglect to make on earnest
effort to that end, and Grant and
Butler should succeed, during the re
cess, in accomplishing either of the
coupe d’etat which they meditate, the
former (the Opposition loaders) will
never bo forgiven by their constitu
ents tor not having, at least, made an
| earnest effort to render the prompt
organization of the House, on the
4th of March, necessary to tin* sus
tentution of the Government. I have
outlined, in a former letter, the
means by which the third-term men
hope to get control of the South dur
ing the recess. If they do not suc
ceed in thut, they will most surely
involve us in a
WAR WITH SPAIN,
which would place under Grant's
control, a large number of men, and |
give him a vast amount of additional |
patronage. I have it from the very
best possible authority, a political!
and personal friend of Grant’s, that
he has lately said that he thinks a
foreign war, the one thing needful to
obliterate the animosities and heart
burnings growing out of the late
civil war. Grant’s idea is thut, in the
event of a war with Spain, nearly all
the rank and file of the turbulent ele
ment in the South would volunteer,
and that most of the leaders of that
element would gladly accept com
missions from him; thus not only
placing themselves under personal
obligations to him, but also by their
absence from home, leaving the
South at his mercy, to manipulate as
he chose. When it has been stated
to Butler and Grant by some Of their j
timid followers that paragraph 10,
section 8, article 1, of the Constitu
tion says that Congress shall have ■
power “to declare war,” they, Butler
and Grunt have replied, “That can \
easily be got round, and there is a
precedent for it. President Polk
commenced war in Mexico by a sim
ple proclamation beginning some
thing like tills, ‘Whereas, war cr
isis by the act of Mexico, &e.;’ and
then Congress, finding the country
actually involved in war, had neces
sarily to back him. There’s no diffi
culty in provoking these hot-headed
Spaniards into an act that can he
construed into one of war; then,if any
of our naval officers make reprisals,
which they will not bo slow to do, if
they know thoy will be sustained by
the President, war will actually ex
ist, and may be prosecuted to an ex
tent from which there can be no re
treat on either side, before Congress
gets together.”
When the project of an extra ses
sion on the 4th of March was first
informally broached, last December,
by some of the best thinkers and able
publicists iu the country, to the lead
ers of the Opposition in tlie House,
tho latter gave it a cold shoulder.
Some of them, perhaps, honestly
thought there was no necessity for
an extra session; but most of them
were intent upon their own interests,
and wanted to stave off tho organi
zation of the House until December,
that they might have time, during
tlie recess, to maneuvre for the posts
of honor t lie Speakership and the
chairmanships of the important com
mittees. There are, in all, forty-four
standing committees of the House.
Tho most coveted chairmanships arc
those ot tho Ways and Means nnd
Appropriations. There is no doubt
that a really able man, who is also a
good speaker, has a much better op
portunity, as chairman of either of
these committees, to make himself
nnd his capacity widely known than as
Speaker of tlie House: as the latter
rarely takes the floor, and is never
mentioned by name in tlie press re
ports of proceedings in the House,
but always as “the Speaker.” The
names of Dawes und Garfield, for ex
amide, have been each one hundred
times before tlie people, during tlie
past, two years, where Blaine’s lias
beeu once. Indeed, a simple mem
bership of either of these committees
is often preferred to the chairman
ship of any other committee by men
who like to see their names in print
every day or two. Hardly a day pas
ses during n session but what one or
more members of these two favored
committees manage to string off at.
least a couple of "sticks full” for the
reporters, and every member of them
gets one or two chances during a ses
sion to spread himself in a set speech
on some important bill of which tic
lias charge. The Committees on
Elections, tlie Judiciary, Foreign
Affairs, and Post-offices nnd Post
roads are, perhaps, next in impor
tance, so far as affording an able
chairman an opportunity to show
what there is in him. Then come
the Committee on Military Affairs,
Naval Affairs, Railways and Canals,
Patents, Agriculture and Banking
and Currency, in which theYe is sel
dom any opportunity, beyond what
an able nnd industrious chairman
makes for himself, to get the time of
the House and the car of the country.
The chairmanships ot the other com
mittees which I have not named are
not much sought after not because
the bills reported from them arc not,
often intrinsically important, but
because the House habitually treats
them as of no account, by refusing,
directly or indirectly, to give the
time necessary to pass upon them
intelligently. Although, for exam
ple, it is estimated that there are
about one million of persons unem
ployed, at present, in tlxe several
States, no bill from the Committee
on Education and Labor for the relief
of these poor people would stand the
ghost of a chance of being considered
jby the House. Members have not
i the time. They are too much inter
! ested in procuring for the Rank Note
Companies, Col. Tom Scott und a
dozen other rich men and corpora
tions subsidies and fat jobs, to con
sider the claims of the working Clas
ses, In which there Is no money.
It will be seen that there i.-; a very
strong temptation for üble nnd ambi
tious Opposition members to put off,
the organization of the House till i
December, if they think that, by su- h
a course, they will stand a better
chance of securing the positions they
resj ieeti ve ly covet. But they should:
not forget that the paramount ques
tion is the protection of the country
from the conspiracies of traitors.
Besides, all the important positions
in the next House will be filled by
members of this one, with the excep
tions of Kerr und Banks, whose abil
ity and parliamentary eximrience
will, of course, be recognized by as
signing to them responsible trusts;
and the records of all the men likely
to occupy the posts of honor ure so :
well known to the country that the
new members will have no difficulty
in deciding upon a Speaker, nor the
latter in appointing the committees.
Grant has called un extra session of
the Senate at tlie instance of some of
his New England supporters who own
large sugar plantations in the Sand
wich Islands, and are therefore anx
ious for tiie consummation of a treaty
with King Kulakaua, by which their
sugar will be admitted iuto our ports
free of duty, to the prejudice of sev- ■
oral of our Southern States. Kala- j
kaua’s visit to this country, at our!
expense, was simply a “job" in the
interests of these New England mem
bers of the part yof “great moral j
ideas.” If the Senate is to bo con
vened for the private purposes of'
Grant’s henchmen, ought not the.
House to be convened for the safety j
of the country ? A. F. 15.

I’auw, February 12,1875.
Sterne's remark, thut “they man
age these things better in France, - ’ j
must be modified. One day t lie mo-:
tion to ratify the Republic is rejected
because it is too definite; tlie next
day the same proposition is carried, i
because it is more comprehensive.
In the latter case the majority was |
only one excluding the locked out :
votes; but that unit legalizes tho Re- j
public, and thus settles s far, there- j
gone under which the country is to j
live. It is tlie beginning of the end j
of that frightful political sterility
which lias acted like a nightmare on
France since May, 1873. It is the end
of the reign of the Sophists, who
wished to have three royalties and a
Republic in the State; who alleged
the. true guarantee for a government
was to be precarious; and the certain j
pledge of Security, to be uncertain of
the morrow. The country repudiated
this kind of sagacity, and abided its
time patiently, and In good faith: T,s
playing since its misfortunes, Uiiit i!
possessed the qualities worthy of a
free people. Only one thing was
| wanting, a government to understand
the nation. Has France ever hud
ithis?
Tho official recognition of the Re
public by u majority of one, marks a
practical advance towards terminat
ing the unpopular “provisional,” and
which suited only such nihilists as
the Imperialists and the Legitimists;
the latter depending on an expected
miracle to restore tho Comtede Chnm
bord, anil the former on the doctrine
of chances to bring buck their petit
prince. The rage of the defeated
monarchists may well be imagined;
but every condemned is allowed
twenty-four hours to curse his judges.
By a strange turn of fortune, the Re
public has been voted by a majority
of one a number the monarchists
repeated in the lulling and cooing
days of the fusion sufficient to seat
that antiquity on the throne Henri
V. By a destiny equally strange, it
was a liberal Royalist M. Wallen,
who has had the honor of proposing
the constitutional recognition of the
i Republic. Like Byron, he has wuk- !
| cued up to find himself famous. Of
I course the whole constitutional pro
ject can bo thrown out on the final
! division, or such amendments intro
! ducoti, as to render it abortive. But
such spite would create an indigna
tion that tlie Assembly even would
hesitate to provoke. It is rather to
be expected that the wavering liberal
Royalists will rally - to tlie Republi
cans, to vote essentially conservative
laws, and that Marshal MacMahon
l will loyally select his ministers from
! this new majority, and thus put an
end to the intrigues, conspiracies,
and calculations, which sicken and
enervate the nation.
The ministerial crisis at the com
mencement of the season has proved
a damperin the bail-going world, and
its sorrows conic in battalions, we are
on the threshold of Ljnt, and no
prospoetof, not new ministers, but
; some substitute functionaries to dis
charge ball duties. Happily these
kind of gatherings are not very amus
ing; they are grandiose rather, where
the invited promenade more than
they dance. It is the grand occasion,
too, for the display of new robes, as
uniforms are so numerous and bril
liant that the struggle is severe to es
cape being outshone. After each off i
cial fete, quite a harvest is gathered I
in the shape of fragments of tulle, j
muslin, and gauze; diamonds are also
picked up, but being in the best paste,
are never reclaimed. Receptions at
present in the grand monde are con
fined to intimate balls following a se
ries of fixed days ; they are very luxu
rious, und the guests generally kilt
time In talking, promenading in
salons and galleries, listening to pro
fessional musicians or the best theat
rical artistes. Tlie reception termi
nates in a sumptuous supper. Danc
ing is rarely indulged in ; it is not un
likely that hostesses will by mid by
adopt the Oriental fashion of engag
ing dancers. Another cause of the
decline of dancing is the difficulty of
securing the attendance of gentle
men. who it must be confessed prefer
| the (attractions of their club—and
there are thirty-five such anti-mntri
monial establishments in Paris—to |
the smiles of young ladles. It Is not |
uncommon to witness in a hall room, i
about mtgnlght, some forty ladies and
only some half-dozen gentlemen, and
i where quadrilles are being danced,
[ la which ladies have for partners only j
ladies. The hostess listens with a
Sister Anne anxiety, us each new
comer arrives, will a gentleman he
ushered in, and to her horror it is a
kind of Belgravia mother, with her
two daughters, that enters like Mrs.
Lezziwlg, one vast substantial smile.
Young ladies are said to usk their
mammas, “why don’t tho men pro
pose?” Now they might pop tlie j
question, “why"don’t they come to;
balls?” Play, billiards, and smoking,
are terrible competitors against the j
attractions of ladies’ society in Paris,
anil tiien virtue suffers also by the,
soirees given by such a person’s mis-j
tress or by such a notorious actress,
where gambling it the rule, and
where life is very free and easy. The
wife of-the proprietor of one of the
aristocratic draper's shops in the city ;
is to he envied; when she gives an
evening party, she commands the
presence of all the male shop assist
ants. and she is obeyed.
To reduce tlie expenses for the sup
port of the poor in tiie city, it has
been over and over again urged, to 1
send the distressed in body and es
tate to their respective native places,
if they belong to the Provinces. To ;
promote the moral and physical;
health of Paris, it is now proposed by
51. Deiasiauve, to abolish interments. ,
The plan is this; 45.000 persons die
annually in Paris, and there are 37,-
000 Communes in France, each pos- 1
sessing a cemetery; nothing remains ;
to be done, but to transport one or
two deceased citizens jier year, to i
each Commune; the expenses of
transport are to be defrayed by vol- 1
untary subscriptions and municipal l
grants, in the common interests of i
the capital. It is believed that the
relatives of the defunct having gene
rally connections with the Provinces,
would like the arrangement. Dr.
Caffe, relative to tlie same subject of
public health maintains, that the lon
gevity of individuals and peoples, is
in proportion to their useful labor,
and that the smallness of a national
debt, and it would seem per contra,
its greatness also, do not affect death
i rates, so long as work is constant and
remunerative, nnd favored by natural
conditions of climate. Before the war
of 1870, the annual national d“bt tax
per he;i 1 in France, was tv. 12$ ; it is
now fr. 20; in England such iruposi
is nearly 22. in Italy 17$ in Holland
17, in Spain 7. and in Switzerland, 1}
j francs.
Jacques Luflltte, when he picked
up u pin in the court-yard of Roths
child's offices, was only a poor and
.obscure employee, but il exhibited
such a trait of practical life that the
great banker engaged him and he
soon rose to be a millionaire. Po
vinek, at present a celebrated manu
facturer. was in early life an humble
clerk, and vows he laid the founda
tion of iiis immense wealth, when in
1828 he deposited his first savings of
a few francs in the first Savings Bank
opened in Paris. In France, as many
efforts are made to indu- e l lie work
ing classes to economize something,
as to enable them to obtain tlie em
ployment necessary to do so. The
French are by nature thrifty; some
might say parsimonious even : better
tills fault than the vice of extrava
gance. The mean average daily sal
ary for a workman in Paris is in round
numbers five francs, and in the prov
inces three; and he ever manages to
put by a few sous. Uis wife is
as industrious as himself; where
she may bring no fortune at her
■marriage, she makes up for the
deficiency by enriching the house by
her unremitting toil. It is proposed
to adopt the Belgian system to the
French Savings Ranks ; that of divid
ing between the depositors, all bene
! fits accruing after paying the uni
form interest of 3 per cent.,. who will
not have withdrawn their deposits
during a period of three years. In
Belgium these deposits are loaned to
localities to execute public works.
The French depositor generally with
draws from the bank each time he
lias a sufficient sum to purchase a
share iu the public stocks, hence the
aphorism, every inhabitant is inscrib
ed on the State ledger. It is thus
that the French themselves have
bought in all the scrip held by for
eigners in connection with the terri
ble ransom loan, and to judge of the
great wealth of the eommuntiy, it is
only necessary to look a: the crowds
besieging at present the Treasury to
receive their dividends, in order to
invest them in the municipal loan
now iu course of being issued.
