The President spoke of the - depression kused by the panic five years ago as pass- g away, and he believed the prosperity agriculture throughout the country Would extend to the other branches of in dustry, : I jTlie President alluded to our ability to urkderscll Luropean countries in many things they have heretofore furnished us, as among the indications of our' National, prosperity, and concluded by saying that the gooil credit 'bf the. United States is L valuable to every man iu the United States engaged ia any industry', because enter prises that give eniplo5ment( to labor can go forward only by capital, andcapital can le lent out only on! good credit. What we want is good dollars and inducement to put theni into business.

That is my opinion. AH the time in travel ling our safety depends on the honesty and fidelity with which the common laborers per form their part. If. on, the railroad there bo.defective machinery or carlessness our lives are endangered. So our national safety depends on honest labor, therefore the best thing to do is to keep ou,r credit good, our currency sound and stable. T Following the President, Secretary Sher man made a speech xlevoted tathe financial condition 0 the country, and giving facts taken from the records of the Treasury tending to shpw that business is improving and the signs for the tutufe of trade and industry hopeful and cheering. The Secretary scid' in the course of his speech : ' We liave imported goods from foreign countries during the last twelve mouts to the value of $430,855,017 and sold foreign countries during the same period goods te the value of $720,484,171. leaving a much larger value in our dayor than has ever oc curred befoie in our history, and this bal ance is represented either by debts paid by us or money paid Jo us, mostly by debts paid by us. ' Among the bright signs of the nation's future he mentioned the following : V Our exportation of manufactures of cot ton increased 1'rc.m $2,947,428,; during "the" fiscal year ending June 30, 1873, to $11, 435,028 duriug 1878 ; exports of iron. and manufactures oT-iron, including steel, rose from $10i000,000 in 1873 to $12,000,000 in 1878 ; cxporrs of lcathertand manufactures of leather increased from 5, 305,000 in 1873 to $8,077,000 in 1878; and our exports of copper and bra,ss and manufactures thereof rose from $753,000 during 1873 to $3,078, 000 during 1878. Speaking upon the currency .question, the Secretary said : ' I do not say that coin money should be the only money, for I believe that paper money is equal "to coin for current purposes, more convenient than coin money i but only test ; its equality to coin is that this re deemable in coin on demand, ofliolder. I political ou-; luus been adopted by bringing this about, for upon this point we might houestly dif fer, but upon one point I thiifk we. can all agree, that having gold and silver and pa per money, so near to each otherj ws will allow gaps to widen ugain ; but thSt all mcnoyjsliall be of equal purchasing powerf so that rich and poor bondholders and note holder and laud owners, and then the la borer may lmvc as he chooses cither form of money for his labor aud productions.

The fall trade is perhaps as brisk in New York this week as it has been during the season. Goods are very cheap, and the streets are thronged with -, SOUTH EEN MERCHANTS. It was as difficult to pass up and' down the aisles of II. B. Claflin's enormous rooms to-day as it is to thread he busiest portion of Broadway in the busy time of the day. Lord & Taylor , aiid Arnold, Constable & Co. also seem to be doing a very large bus iness, even for them. I have not yet visit ed A. T. Stewart's. I could not resist the temptation to stop at Mme. Demorest's emporium of fashion. I met Madame herself. She is a handsome, graceful, middle-aged lady of very pleasing address!. Her costume was a combination of brocade aud gros grain silk. Her jewels were diamonds: . the fashions this winter will be varied enough to suit anybody's taste. I notice more elegant black costomes than any other, on Broad way and Fifth avenue. Some dark, rich colors, however, are worn. Black jet and guilt in combination with laces and fringes secmto be very popular. Sunday morning I attended TRINITV CHURCH, and stopped on my way down Broadway to examine Old St. Paul's.. The reredos is the Chancel of Trinity--erected by Mrs. A. T. Stewart in memory of the great merchant prnce. It is of white marble. The twelve apostles stand in pairs under sothic arches. A cricifixion scene is in the centre. The richly stained gothic windows of the church form' a fine back ground for this exquisite piece of work manship. On my return to the St. Nicholas Hotel I saw a poor deso late looking little girl, industriouly crocheting a tidy, setting near the street cprner. I paused a.nd told her it was sin ful to work on the Sabbath. My reply was a bright smile from a very interesting and terribly dirty face but she kept on with her work. Immediately after dinner a friend from North Carolina came to accom pany me to CENTRAL PARK. . 1 ' I doubted very seriously whether the conscientious Rector of St. James' would have bade me accept the invitation, bat I weut. I wanted eo much to see the beautiful place and knew it would be the only opportunity I would have to do so. Otherwise, I hope the example and the precepts of the eminently worthy j gentle man just referred to would have gnidedmy footsteps towards Grace Church, or, some other consecrated spot, where T could have joined in the chiuafs and prayers of the evening fervice. Cca:ral Park defies de scription in my limited space. The drives, the lake with its white swans and painted boats, the animals and the statce3, the classic urns filled with flowers, the shaded walks, sylvan retreats, tRa 4peadows make one fofget the bustlftVqty and re member only the charmlrijLriadia to which the wand of a magimirfcis to have transported him.

These things recalled a sermon I had heard from the lips of Bish hop Atkinson the previous Sabbath. He said that God's hand was seen in the war panic and pestilence that had visited this country, recently. He would see a terrible disregard of many of the commandments in this wonderful and wicked but beautiful metropolis. ; ' N. C. " -t fc- m ' KCXSINGTON feTKIKC HXDKD: Tlie Iron Strike in Kensington landed aud the Men go In at the employers' Rates, while the Carpet Weavers ac ! cept their Reduction. Philadelnhid Times; '23. There are abyut two hundred carpet manufactories, hre and small, in the dis trict of this city Known as Kensington, and it is estimated that there are eleven thou sand carpetjweavers living there. A mem-: ber of the firm of William Hogg, Jr. & Son1, carpet manufacturers, of Howard and Oxford streets, said yesterday that of this number probably five thousand are' idle at the present time or are. working alt other trades. The manufacturers talk very dis couragingly of the trade. They say that, although there are always a few weeks in the fall or early winter when business Is slack and the mills, if not shiit down, are running with greatly reduced force, the stagnation has taken place much earlier this year than usual. This is generally attributed by the manufacturers to the fact that business "is paralyzed in the South by the yellow fever. Thus tar only the hand weavers who are a large major ity, however have been affected. A MEETING OF THE5 HANDS. List night, in response to a "call through the papers, the carpet weavers filled the! small hall at the corner of Amber and Cumberland streets. John M. Davis,, not a carpet weaver, was appointed president, and James II. White, not a carpet weaver, acted as secretary. James Wallace, a weaver at Judge Brother's mills,, made a statement of the state ot . affairs in sub stance as given above. He also said it was impossible to get -a majority of the ninety-nine weaves to agree to a lock-out, and that the Judge had given, them the option of going on with'steady work atthe reduced rate or going on thb street. After some desultory conversation, in which itnvas charged that the Judge's weavers had al ways been the first to accept a reduction of wages, the chairman explained that it was an old artifice of the employers to re duce wages and promise steady work dur ing the dull season, but that they took good care to . keep the same scale when the busy season came around. A couple of Labor Reformers next ad dressed the meeting at length. Then a committee was appointed to frame a set 6f resolutions. They brought in resolutions advising the acceptance of the reduction. The report was not accepted, and a reso lution to appoint a committee to visit the Judges' shop was also defeated. A long debate ensued on a resolution '"that we can accept no further reduction." This was finally adopted by a show of hands, and almost immediately rescinded .upon the representation of many speakers that most weavers would go to work at any price they could get, and in conclusion, after two hours and a half of debate, the meeting adjourned, after adopting a resolution, on which, about a dozen men voted, that as Judges' hands had accepted thereduction "we go to work at the same reduction." A remark of one of the speakers seemed to 1 about cover the views of the weavers m a nutshell : 44 We have not the spunk to go on a strike we are too poor and can't af ford to do it." IITON STRIKE ENDED. The Kensington strike, after seeing the tenth week of its existence Saturday last, ends to-day. Toward thq latter part of last week there becran to be rumors that the employes of Robbins' mill, numbering he neighborhood of forty, were going to in the work. . Experience had shown the rest of the strikers that Robbins' men "ere mighty on going on a strike but not particularly noted for holding out. fco wnen ,ini3 re port came out some of the other strikers were, in favor of "not counting" Robbins' employes, on the grounds that they were hardly legitimate factors of the band of strikers. "On Saturday afternoon they held a meeting at the William Penn Hose house. None of Robbins' men were there, and this confirmed the previous report. A motion to appoint a committee to wait on Rcbbin3' men was acted on. 1 The committee ascertained that they were go ing to work on Tuesday. Even then there was little notion that the strike would soon end. A large snm of money was received that evening by the strikers' committee on distribution ofsnpplies from the president of the Amalgamated Iron Association at Pittsburg, accompanied by a telegram urg ing, them to hold out by all mean3 that they should not want. 'Despite this advice theaction of Bobbins' men seemed to have broken the spell. Others wanted to go in. too. Influential men among them said they were opposed to holding out longer, since the others were going to work. A meeting was held on Monday after noon and it was there decided to go to work at the reduction. Accordingly the mills of James Rowland, Ilnghes & Pa'tersoa and Marshall Brothers go to work this morning. Bobbins' mill resumed yester day. The" strikers who held ont till to-day uumber over two nunun-u. mcj bitterly about Robbins' men "going back" on hem. Daring the long strike two or three vears ago, they say, they did the same thing, leing the first to give in and break op the strike..

The liabilities are estimated to be about $1,500,000, more than half being due in this city. , Dodd, Brown &jCo.j up to-the panic of 1873 were considered a very strong house ; at that time they were largely indebted to New York firm3 and were assisted by their friends in tiding over temporary embarrass ment An extension of time was given on a claim amounting to several nnndred thousand dollars held byH. B. Claflin k Co. A short time after Mr. Fisk put $200,000 in cash intp the firm. He died in 18TG and the mpneylie. advanced was withdrawn Notwithstanding, the firm has done .a very large business for thclast eighteen months, although there were com mission houses in the, spring of '. 1877 who refused to sell them any bills of goods. The firm were prominent buyers in the large auction sales oT flanne't and blankets that were sold in this city, in J uly. These goods were bought upon four jnonths' cred it. Within the last month they are said to have been very large buyers of fall goods. -They transacted most of their bus--iness through the Metropolitan Bank. The 'president of that bank said yesterday that the farm owed his bank a very small amount, which was secured. The notes of the firm were sold principally through II. C. Ben nett iSr Co. and other note brokers. Tildeh's Engagement. , Xew York World. As little faith do we put in the St..Lonis Globe-Democrat when it tells us that Gov. Tilden is about to 'marry a 'belle of St. Louis in three months from now. For in the first place if Gov. Tilden were about to do such a thing he would not want thre months to do it. And in the' next place he would not let cwen the belle of St. lxmis know that he. meant to do itso long before hand. The story is nothing but a cipher telegram badly transhited. now ELL COHB. C. D.
