COM PA It ATI VK REVI Ii W. Dun, Harlow V Company's Circu lar Turn of tlie Tide Fewer Failures, Less IJabilities Xotes of Business Iro- : gress. '- Pun Harlow & Co.'s circular for the . three months ending March 31, 1879, shows a vprv considerable" reduction in the num- ber of failures and amount of liabilities in the Uqited Stales as compared with the J same period is 1878 and 1877. For the first quarter of 1879 the failures were 2,- j 524 against 3,355 in' 1878 and 2.8G9 in j 1877 In 1879 the liabilities amounted to ! $43,112,GG5, against 82,978,820 in 1878 and $54,538,070 in 1877. It is not exact ly fair to compare the first quarter of the present year with that of 1878, since last year the number of failures was greatly increased by the impending . re'peai of the federal bankrupt law, but compari sons with 1877 are entirely admissible. From these figures it appears that the decrease in the total number of failures in 1S79 fiom those in 1877 has been 315, a reduc tion of one-eighth, and in the amount of liabilities of 11,425,405, or one-fifth the whole. The'losses by failures in the Mid dle States have fallen off 8,993,707, or nearly one-third; in the ;-'"Western States 57,165,177, or near one-half. In the South ern and the Pacific States, owing to the injuries to trade done by the yellow fever in one section audo the disastrous losses by speculative nuniiig in the other, the increase in the amount of liabilities by failures was $4,691,045 equal to 53 per cent.; These figures are' very encouraging; since they show a substantial gain of health in the great business centres and the great producing centres as well. The average; amount of liabilities to failure has also decreased in a remarkable wav. being $24,404 in 1678 and 19,012 in 177, but only $17,060 in 1879. All these facts are contributions to the accumulating evidence of the turn of the tide. Business Notes. Southern merchants are buying freely. Boston's shipment of shoes is increasing weekly.

The crowning triumphs" of General Tay or s social career were won jn Jbneland and on the Continent of Europe some, years ago. He first gained notoriety at the London clubs by his admirable skill as a whist player. He was a disciple of Hoyle and the older school of players, and cared lttle for the modern niceties of the game. His memory was wonderful, and he' never orgot a card. The EngUslvclubmenwho had learned their science from James Clay, Cavendiih and Pole, were . astonished, at this old-fashioned player, who "beat them in spite of their rules and formulas: So Geii- eral Taylor's fame came to the ears of the Prince of , ales, who loves a rubber next to a tiger hunt, and they met at the Marl borough Club one night and played to gether. Thus began an intimacy which endured to the last. He introduced him at Windsor to the Queen, and the Queen was so charmed with his company that she prayed him to stay for a week at the Cas-1 lte. When the Prince went to India 1 he invited General Taylor to be one of the party. iut tne iienerni preferred to stay in London, and many a quiet rubber was played at the Marlborough House by the-Princess, the Duke of 'Cambridge and the American while the Prince was riding in an elephant howdah through the jungles of Nepaul. In the royal box at Ascot his figure was familiar to . every ieckev ou the course, though his means never allow ed him to own race horses and rarely to bet. One wager he took, however the is sue of which troubled him to the last. He was en the Prince's boat following the University crews when the Earl of Dudley, spying some token of French imperialism on the lawn at Chiswick, suddenly cried that he would bet 5,000 to 10. twice over, that the Napoleonic dynasty was never restored in France. The Prince of Wales took one of these bets, Genoral Taylor the other, and he has ever since re garded the metamorphoses of French poli tics with an uncommonly wisttul eye. At the root of thie prodigious success lay his wonderful faculty for being all things to all men. Whatever the topic of conversation might be to that he would adapt himself. To men of . younger gen aration he was particular charming. When the faster members of the Prince of Wales' set would meet at the Marlborough he would discuss coaches with Lork Caring ton, cock pheasants with Lord Alvesford, nd the latest horse race with Lord Charles Berestord, In the Park, with the Princess and children, his manner was redolent of Antique chitelry. At the Turf Clnb he a would arrange handicaps with Almira Rous and help Lord lloseberv make his book for the Newaarket meeting. At the' Athmeum he would cross literary swords with Sir Charles Dilke.and at the United Service would discuss militarv tactics with Sir Garnet Wolsely and Lord Napier of Magdala. Nothing came amiss ta hira. George Otto I revelyan, nephew of Lord Macaulay, read'his articles in the Xorth American Revlcic, and said there was 1:1 him the stuff of a great military writer. statesmen listened with delight to his dis sertations on the American Constitution. Von 3Ioltke himself gave in his honor the dinner at which he met Prince Bismarck. Everywhere he spread about him the charm of his personality, and rothing dis tinguished him from the crowd of racon teurs more than this, that his conversation was never forced or out of place, never labored or prepared beforehand, welling up naturally from the stores of a naturally rich mind. .Shorter Telegrams Senator llaniDton. left for Washing-ton to-day.

It was discovered at the time the note was read that there was a larger number of Republican than Democratic members present. A messenger was dispatched for Thurman, whom the Democrats intendeds. to elect as President pro tempore. At 12:30, however, that gentleman ar? rived, he having been on his way to . theQ W Capitol while the messenger was in search . 4 . of him The Senate haying resumed its session! M. Bayard efrered' the following resolu-1 fion : - ' ' ' v llesolved, That ia the absence of the Vice-President. Hon. A. G. Thurman be, and he is hereby chosen President of the Senate pro tempore. Mr. Anthony mftved to strike out thjs name of Mr. Thurjnan and insert Honi Thomas W. Ferry. ' ' The amendment was disagreed to yeas 18, nays 28, and the resolution was thed passed. .' J .Mr. Thurman was conducted to'the chair by M r. Ferry, the former remarking to the? latter on his way thither, "turn abo )ut i fair plav." Mr. Thurman on taking the chair said 'Senators, it is only necessary for me t6 say in the fewest possible words that I sin ce'rely thank you for' this mark? of ;yonr confidence.'' " . " " The journal of yesterday was thenreadi. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections to-day took up as the first case on their docket, the memorial of Judge Henry M. Spofford, of Louisiana, claimin to be entitled to Vthe seat in the Senate now occupied by Governor Kellogg. Af ter some informal discussion the committee decided to notify the parties to appear 'in person or by counsel at an ajourncd meet ing to-morrow for the purpose of present- ing argument to tne committee on me e'juestion whether this case is not res judicatn. ;'. The Army bill was called up. -.Mr. gau addressed the Senate, denouncing proposed legislation as bad in itself, thfe and as being attempted yith. unrmrUamenJarV practices. He defentlcthVusefthe cto powers, quoting I' resident fierce s mes sage in 1853, to show that the Democratic doctrine had then guarded the indepen dence of the Executive's wholesome check on legislation. He declared a svstem of terrorism prevailed in the South which is now resulting in the migration therefrom of people whose labor is necessary to culti vate the fields. He alleged that the Dem ocrats expected by this legislation to fraud ulently control the election of the next President. Mr. Beck followed : The" South today was represented by men who were peers of any gentlemen on the other side. Ib-e Democracy was warned of the appeal to Cajsar. They intend to appeal to the people before Caesar comes, before the Rubicon is crossed and the ' cry is "dlea jactata eat." It is to prevent Caesar from comiug that thev desire the soldiers to be taken from the polls. Mr. Beck continued at considerable length, defending the Dem ocratic partv from the accusations of its opponents, and declared they were tnje friends to the colored race. He argrued earnestlv against the danger of reiving du the army to enforce the laws, saying that the best warrant for making and maintain just laws was enlightened public opinion. HOUSE. Immediately after the reading of the journal, the Speaker proceeded to call the committees for reports. I he only report submitted was from the Committee on Ac counts relative. U"Committee Clerks- Tbial report was adopted, anti the House pro ceeded to the consideration of the Senate bill, for the purchase or construction bf refrigerating shipjfor the disenfection of vessels and cargoes. j Mr. Chalmers, rising to a question of 'privilege, asked for an investigation by the House of his conduct at the battle of Fort Pillow. He made the request because of certain uncomplimentary allusions made to him by Congressman Batterworth, in a recent speech at' Cincinuati. The action ou the request was deferred for a day or two, I The House then went into a Committee of the Whole, and took up the Legislative Appropriation bilk Pending the question, being Bragg' motion to, iosert a crause-re- pealin -liie "vlaw ereatiag Soutbini Claims Commission, and a substitute there for, offered by - Young, of Tenneessee, abolishing the commission, but transferring the claims, now pending before it, to the Court of Claims. An animated debate followed, which was participated in by Bragg, who advocated his proposition, and by Kiefer, of Ohio, who claimed that the court should not be interfered with, but allowed to die by limitation as it would do in March 1880. Messrs. Atkins, Baker, Young, of Tenneessee, White, Garfield, and others, took part in the debate. The discussion ranged into the general question of the payment of Southern claims and the manner thereof. Brake's amendment was finally rejected by a vote of 65 to 12 Mr. Springer, offered n amendment abolishing tki tiutbern' Claim.

It further provides that the court shall repoit its findings to Congress, and Con gress shall not allow or authorize the pay ment of any private claim not payable un der the existing law, until the claim has been investigated by the Court of Claims. A debate followed, 'and the committee rose without action. MISCELLANEOUS.

In the As sembly to-day, on the bill to regulate the sale of cotton, Mr. Brooks said he had a remonstrance against the bill signed by 90 per cent, of the people engaged in the cotton trade. No action was taken on the measure. The bill requires that the tare be deduct ed from the weight of cotton bales. 1 he introducer, Mr. bheard, made a strong ar gument for the measure. The opposition took the ground that if the bill should pass it would drive the cotton business from New York, and besides that, it could not accomplish the object in view, since " the whole question of the tare would remain a matter to be settled between the sellers and buyers.- Without- coming to a vote the Committee of the Whole arose. On motion of Mr. Sheard, the committee was then discharged from the fourth con sideration of the bill , and it-was ordered to a thmd readirig, fifty members voting in the affirmative.
