He will be all right as long as he has things his own way; but. failing to carry his point, he will get out and carry all he can with him, and use every effort to ruin the organization, while building up a new and more pliable one. Such fellows are plenty, but we hope that wherever one of them is there will be ten men of common sense and firmness to manage him.What is the difficulty? Twelve thousand millions of public and private debts! These debts exact a thousand millions a year in interest alone, the total wages of three millions of men. Until the bulk of these debts are paid there will be no rival of trade. Of what significance is a good crop? The largest grain crop ever grown will hardly pay the interest on these debts. How can these debts be paid ? Only by starting the wheels of industry, by giving work to the idle.Last week the steamer Merceditia sailed from Philadelphia, having on board three corps of engineers, 200 laborers, and a cargo of rails and contractors' plant for the construction of the Maderia and Maraore railway, which is to connect the head waters of the great river Maderia with the Atlantic slope of the Andes, and open a way from upper Bolivia, through Brazil, to the sea. The occasion was made a sort of public festival by the people of Philadelphia, who see in it the beginning of a great and lucrative trade between their busy city and South America.The Cincinuatti, Enquirer has this to say of the Secretary of the Treasury: “Our Washington correspondent says that General Ewing will offer a resolution to investigate the proceedings ef the syndicate, and that John Sherman will be called as a witness.

He is pitiless and unprincipled. Ten thousand bankruqt-cies this year, and the ^unutterable agony that they carry into many thousands of hearts and homes are among his trophies. It would be a great advantage to the American people if he could be investigated anddisgraced.”The Socialistic Labor Party. This is the new name given the Workingmen's Party of the United State, by the congress assembled at Newark, X. J. The platform adopted does not differ much from that of last year. It was resolved to establish English, German, French, and Bohemian party organs. The English paper will be published at Cincinnatti, with Mr. John McIntosh, of Rochester. X. Y., as editor, at a salary of not more than 820 a week.
