LAEOEBT DAILY CIRCULATION In €.*lty MBd ItublirtM. 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 zens in the present Congress.

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. • ♦ * Parts Clinv-iieii:!tana' Daisy Times. 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. $2 it Howard.
