The pponuhc cases of failures reported do not indicate- more than local unhealth- fulncss, we think. At least the signs of a revival of. business are . better now ;than they were last year..." Let it be remembered J that New York depends largely on . the 111 llOb J k kl j UIIV4 UV J V V fever has to a considerable extent paralyzed that trade,' The general signs, we sayf then, are undoubtedly more hopeful. Here, in5 oar own city, the receipts of I cotton have been largejy in excess'of what they ever were. The business of the port J is fine. Over thirty, vessels are in port, ', and the foreign trade of Wilmington was hardcover in ft more prosperous condition. True, -years ago when a smaller business was done, and the country and the world -prospered, prices were more favorable to producers,' and "the middle man" could 6ondiCt his business with greater security and c-mfort, and on better margins. jStill, ,as t?fie,r are, things are getting more com fortable and in decidedly .better shape than they twere in two years ago. Let us look up.s ill ope begets strength. A cheerful mind? is perhaps the " best capital after all. Certain iy without it the largest capital eemi but as a mirage in the desert. SHE GOVERNS. The North is used to thd Toman in poli tics. . She has flourished there for two or three dtcaldes like the palm in" Kordofan, giving, cut shade and lending magnificence and .uniqueness to ah otherwise dreary V scene. Here in the barbarous South, an V Arcadian ; land, we have no sneh elegant adornments, omen there a,ie, and ac cording to the old adage, there isr always a woman in the case. There is a woman in f every thing but politics, in the South mostly, however, in things lovely and of good report. The Southern woman loves polf tics. -"She delights that her brother or her husband takes interest' in public affairs. 1 But she has a horror of ruling herself ' She don't want to be a palm in Kordofan, or any Jwhere else. She would rather be the sweet brier rose, or the violet, or the pre.tty.moss flower. She can't abear the f man-woman of Northern society, shrinking Vffom her us from the serpent of old Nile. Whv is this horror here and that man- ! like stride and.attitude there ? Diflercnce ... - . . ... . .. . . - in social customs partly accounts for it Women in the North have more -"free- tdoni" that is, they do and say more near ly what the average "pure cusedness". of the human nature inclines ;to than their sisters of this section. Women in the South are more submissive to the will of the sovereign man. They "stoop to con quer," however. Translating' John Stuart Mill's "Subjection of Women' anto speech at once more truthful and respectful to man and woman, they let the world know that while they appear to be subjects, they ic m reauiy, queens, wnotnatnas visn ed Southern home has not found out the secret bf woman's position ' 4n our. s society ? She : "wins her easy way" , by graces, refinements, affection, loveliness. Why should 1 she po into . ph- w ' - aii tvv asks, sie oiuain. numor- 'in'ii.in ' i - i t- masterv over thnm RWftulil at the ballot-box. The raU for notorietv I of that sort. , will never seize upon the? Southern woman. The pride of MU--hri' ' of authorship, suffices for her with the un disputed sway of a home in esr or the sweet-girl-graduate" dream of the home, in futuro with Charlie, my dar. - THE UAIMCAI. FAK I V. In all history, excepting only the Jaco bins of France, there ha3 never been a par ty guilty of more violence and corruption than; the Republican party. Even th" mini followers of .Marat- and lioMt-picrre were, .- content with cutting offitheieads of their nniA ihov 4li.',.,rli.,:.1 King of France and desecrated their re mains. But the:r war, was a war of l;one.-t. if wild, opinion. They believed in what they did. The Republican party, "on 'the. contrary, Certainly since the deiih of a few of the earliest and rriost fanatic;;! of its leaders, rhas no excuse of insanity or fanaticism.

Mr. Young of Clasgow, ship owner, sec onded the motion, -a'yih.r, however,' that it would only add to tledr si uness to have it read again, fie stated th it the report re vealed that in June, 173. there was 'actu ally a deficit of .97:1,00- (S'4f709,2(T, to cover which fictitious ent 'ies had been in serted, a dividend often per cent, declared, and new stock issued, r.rom' 1S73 this sum of 973,000 had been annually deduct ed. Mr. Young then pro needed to review the other losses, produci-ig a deficit of .4,250.000, which had b 'en f carried for ward on the balance sheet as good debts. VOLUNTARY LIQUID ATIOX. Mr. John Wilson, treasurer of the city of Edinburgh, moved that the bank's af fairs be wound np in voluntary liquidation. This was carried with on'y one dissenting voice. .The following liqu.dators were then nemjuated : William And jrson, Glasgow ; Geo. Auldjo Jamieson. ' Edinburgh ; John Cameron, Clydesdaie Bank, and Mr. Ilal dane. a yiartner of Mr. Jamieson. The usual vote ot thanks then concluded the meeting. Glasgow, Oct. 22, lb',8. This morn ing the adjourned hearing in the case of the imprisoned- officers -o" the Bank of Glasgdw took place. Eacii of them was placed .in charge: of a detec ive and brought to the bar of the Centra'; Police Court. After a consultation with he -'Fiscal," the presiding stipendiary magistrate again re piitted them to the ca.ro of the sheriff of Lanarkshire. It is understood that this was done at the request ot' the Lord Ad vocate. They were then removed to the county buildings to await a, further hear ing. The declarations ot the prisoners have been made in the fallowing-order: Robert Sumner Stronach, the manager, made the first declaration, then old Lewis Potter, then Robert Babnond, director, who was followed by the others in due ro tation. All of the inculpa ed officials have obtained excellent counsel. It is thought possible that an application will be made to-morrow to have them admitted to bail. The offence with which the are all charged is a bailable one. 1 STANDARDS OF RESPECTABILITY. The following are the legal standards, which show the prevalence of caste in Old Caledonia in the amount cf money to be furnished by bondsmen : Twelve hundred pounds icr a nobleman. Six hnndred pounds for u landed gentle man. Three liundred pounds for a burgess. The bondsmen must, in all cases, be householders or merchants. WHEN WILL THE PRISONERS BE TRIED. It is not positively known when the criminal trial of the prisoners will take place. The general impression, among the !.raemlKrs of the Bar is that it will be later than J)eeemberl It is understood that it will be held in the Circuit ' Court of this city. It has, however, also tieen asserted in ihc local papers that the case may come before the liith C ourt Judiciary at their lortticomms sessw-n in rximuuigu.- turmx; queen's evidence. I have runver.-cd this afternoon with several friends of the prisoners, and it is their Gnn Ulicf that several of them will turn Oueen's evidence and betray their .companions for the sake of obtaium? par- ilon or a miliiration of their sentences. This iden is aU promulgated in umns of s. vera 1 of the Olasgow pa me papers. C!iin-Vhiik;cr. Xte Yvrk Wurhl,. It will eert Mnly cause la . revolution in the p .pular estimate uf M r. Richanl (irau White when th" people of t hi? country learn that with all his pretended know led re f Kiifrb.-h hiniruasre he- has lately iriniei worh naa w-y-. rnad up of 'letters from cnKiis trout!etJ 1 f . , a to how they, mijnit'avoid the : aisu:-nt saviitjr, "This table is round, tills is ot ron ruler, aiid that is the roundest of all. and so clevcrlv has. he! ever helped them .out of their difficulties, that it is very evident that tie common man has come to look upon Mr. White as an authority vvho-e dictum is not to be gainsaid. It mav be taken !or granted that at least f-ur out of everv't ;i men who have sought Mr? Vhite aid vhe'n. all others failed them wear ehiu-whlskers. '1'hese hairy adorn ments abound 'n Coiinecticut; Indiana is a wilderness of riem. Mass-u husetts . knows them by frequent sijiht and Westeru New York d"otes on them'. All along, the Krie Canal they an- as plentiful as ' seven dol lar tiilies' and the keeper of any grocery .hop in that re-rioa would - l.e looked upon as quite mad ;f he failed to wear them ; and yet so great a philologeras Mr. White has never heard of them. When the school-, teacher who astonishes the unharned whom 'he mei s at evening in the illage store by stroking his chin-whiskeis and talking "about equations and 'the frightful1 problem of lb- farthings and the naiis in a horse's shoes--w hen this man lean s that the man vh has told him all about, -might, could, would and should " has never heard even th name of chin-whiskers, hrs idol will topp over at once and fall in ruins to the ground. He will write no mVre letters to it )ior mention it as a crite rion by which ill grammatical dispu'.esare to be judged. In. consider ng the propriety -ot such an expression as chiiMvhisker, an anxious correspondent nad written, was someiimes 'heard in the barber shops of dioston. Mr. While, feelin; that he; is treading on dan- gerous grounc. and not wishing to .commit also its permitted to aouot tuat tne word "chin-whisker is a solecism, since, as we have shown, it is in coTnmon use. What Mr. White would have said but for an at tack of heterophemy, and what he meant, was a barbarism" for as to "barberism" no one who has the interests of right-speaking- at heart could ever delib erately use such a:i expression. Indeed, if wq examine the matter as closely as Mr. White loves to examine the perversities of Dr. Edward Hall we shall see that the term "chin-wlisker"is perfectly legitimate; j. lor, says the article in the Atlantic i. Monthly, 'a whisker anything that whisks or inr.y whisk." W hat possible argumentation can make it clear 'that the hair on one's chin is less capable of whisk ing than that which grows on his jowls? As matter of fact the former, when it is long enough, may be used in whisking away flies from the bosom of one's -shirt, a feat which is utterly beyond the powers of the latter. In brief, the whole argument of Mr. W'hite falls to the ground, whether we look upon it in the light of history present usage or logic, R , ' "' . We have spoken with some feeling on thte subject because we. cannot bear to see one of the greatest of thinkers on some of the most important matters of philosophy and life go unreproved when he perils his reputation in his chosen field of criticism. If Mr. White, an American and nashave ling, has never heard of chin whiskers, there is grave reason to fear that there .are several other things under his very nose of which he may know nothing and of which he may presently begin to write with . the confidence of a scholar and inexperience of a tyro. Destructive Prairie Fires. By Teh-graph to tlw Herald. Omaha, Neb... Oct.,1; 22, 1878.--Telegrams received here to-day show that the prarie fires in Butler, Seward and Saun ders counties, are far more destructive and' sweeping than had been supposed. The fire originated in the Platte Kiver boitom northwest of David City, and extended ouer territory eight by twente five miles in extent, sweeping, away every growing thing, stack 0: hay and grain, barns, farm houses, etc. Leaping the Republican Val- ley Ivailroad track, burning teleoranh poles and eve.i ties off the railroi.d, in many places making a solid wall of dame, it swept down on David City with fearful rapidity. The town was barely saved by promptly -setting a back fire, not two min- Uites too soon. Bone Creek Vail ,v, a splendid farming region and thicklv set- tied, is a scene of black desolation b .vino- been swent np-ff the case to the south and east. Fine groves,, with which most of the farmers have protect d their houses and farm buildings, for which Butler countv is .noted, are completely swept away, and years will be - necessary to restore them. The very door yards of Brainard village were burned. In the overwhelming wind the flames leap;d all ordinary fire-guards ease. Had th 1 railroad proved a barrier the villages of Oak Creek and of the head waters of Blue River, now burned over would have escaped. Dritnia aud Opera. Xeir York Herald.

Second, that the Nationals donot nieet with jtopulur lavnr, and, as a separate orjrani zutioii, have utterly faiUni impress them--selvea upon the country; and lastly, that the stir of the Democratic party is still in the ascendant, and the people are looking tothat party as the only 'one capable of restoring prosperity to the country, and' able to admin ister the government on those Constitutional ami just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of 91. r citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the elections held in eight, States the Republicans have lost twelvu members of Congress; the Nationals have elected Sour ; and the Demo crats have elect, d t wenty-three, and have gained seven. These facts 'demons' ate that the people in tend to invest 1 hi; Democratic party with th,e full control of the National (Jovemment. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic -& colli,itU.ralle majority, and it is only ueccssarv for the Deiaoe cats of the South to remain steadfast in their allegiaiu-e to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete It is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, sJiali trail in the. dust, or shall be borne on to victory. Every consideration-. of interest, ot policy and of patriotism then urges us to prepare inuuesiateiy. lor the approaching 'political inuuesiateiy. lor the approachin; struggle. Be assured fe low-citizens, th preparation, it will be impossible -Jr ' - 1 that without to aehievfe 1 et us ot by our apathy, our liikc warm- : nes and indillercnce postpone the accession j to power of that party which alone bas teen able to check Republican corruption and to j arrest the progress of o'er government towards J a centralized despotism. Let us bo jtearilast in our devotion to prim cipie, true to our organization and endeaTor by ever; means to discountenance'those inde pendents an'd disorganizes woo oppose our ,worfhy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we' have so often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the town siep committees who are charged with the most important of all partv duties. To them is committed the duty' of supervisinc: the election, and of devising means to bring out every Democratic voter to the polls. They ought to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for- ! tune's of that party, on whose success depends so largely the prosperity of themselves and of their posterity. In every township, in every neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, eilicient, and prudent party men, who 'will undertake to see that every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and easts his ballot for our nomlncee. We therefore urge this ujjou the township committees; and if in any township it is ne glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends there to send their, conveyances for alttheir neighbors who otherwise might not attend the polls. Let it He clearly understood in every locali ty that lie who fails to vote for our nominee, gives half a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts his vote Tor an independent is taking the surest means' to break up and destroy "the only party which can give relief to our afflicted, country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished exc ept at the cost of eome inconvenience, and otten through the sacrifice ; of our personal preferences ; and wc appeal : to every man who has the good of the people : at heart to give a portion of one day to his j country, and subordinating his individual preferences, cast his ballot lor the nominee of : the Conservative party. : j For the Committee : ; 3.
