C lion dull, ! demand, middling Iltiftint-flM Prosprttii for 1807. If we get through the present year without suffering a financial revul? sion, there will be a great many false prophets in this country. Thu wiseacres have been peeking into futurity, and as the result of their observations, they tell us that a gene? ral smashing of business is soon to como. Jt may be that their predic? tions will prove true. "We have not had a general prostration of business in the United States since 1857, and it may be that the present year is destined to witness another collapse. But so far as our observation goes, we can see nothing to warrant these gloomy apprehensions, unless it be the coincidence that every year end? ing with a seven has, for some tim? past, brought a financial panic with it. In 1827, 1837, 18-17 and 1S57, general prostration of trade occurred. It is this coincidence which now forms the basis of all the prophecies that arc made concerning a similar state of business during the presen year. Panics of this kind, however ! are not the result- of chance, nor o! I fatality. They arise from natura [ causes, and are the result of natura laws of production and trade. Ther< are but two causes that can pro lue? a financial panic-the first being ? failure of production, and the secom financial mismanagement. A genera failure of the crops during the pre sent year would be very likely h result in financial revulsion, for th demand upon the resources of th country is now so heavy that trad could hard!}- withstand a heavy strait upon production. But there is n present likelihood of any such dan ger-no more, at least, than th.er was at this time hist year, or, th year before. The chances of disas ter from bad financial m-inagemen are perhaps greater. A morbid coi dition of speculation, or an unskil ful administration of the nationi finances, would have n dangerou tendency. With regard to specuh tion, however, there is loss dangt now than there has been at any tina within the last five years. While th war was in progress, and for som time after its conclusion, the speci lative fever ran high; but now tl pulse is slow and regular. Commi dities are gradually settling down i value-not fast enough to endange the safety of dealers, and yet fa: enough to give consumers snbstai tial benefits. So far as the financi operations of the Government ai concerned, there is nothing special to fear. It is difficult to tell wh Congress will do with the finance but Secretary McCulloch has done ? well thus far, that there will be i cause for apprehension if he be ; lowed to continue his present polie The Government bonds are well i in the quotations, tlie currency steadily appro; "bing the gold stan ard, interest rates ure in a heult 1 condition, money is easy, and short every aspect of the financ: situation has an encouraging loo Still, it is best to be on the safe si by keeping a sharp look-out for finn cia! breakers. It is always better be too cautious than to bo not ea tiotis enough. But if we all lab faitlrftdly to increase mir moans, ai economize closely in our cxpem tures, we shall sail through 1^ without encounte ring a financial ri pie, and place the prophets of evil greater discount than the rebel ci roney ever reached. - Keic York Si TEST OATHS.-The adverse de sion of the Supreme Court of t United States to the constitutional of the "test oaths" imposed by C( gross, will lead, wo hope, to a marl improvement in the Federal offici in thc- Southern Slates. The "t oaths" prevented ninety-nine ont every hundred of our people fr holding the Federal offices in ( midst. They went, therefore, by fault, in many instances, into hands of unworthy and iucompet citizens of the Southern States; : still more frequently, the ollie: wore unsympathizing aliens, wh presence in one midst is a perpct and hateful reminder of the failure our noble struggle. Cn some of the Southern cities, officials aro strangers, wh ? came with the conquerors, and h nothing in common with th Deo] Many of these men have belia themselves well, and have won esteem of our people, while otl have mode themselves as odious possible. There now exists no rea; why the offices at the South sin not be lilied by Southern men.

TEXAS ITEMS.-The LaGrange j Em, in speaking of manufactories . throughout Texas, h ts the following: Machinery, for factory purposes, is ; being scattered over thc ?State, hut : none of it stops in LaGrange. Bas I trop ]ias lier factory in operation, j LaGrange certainly possesses as many advantages as either of these places, i ana yet, strange to say, lets herself be outstripped in the race. A good I time may be coming-until then, wo must exercise patience. The editor of the Bas trop Adver? tiser is loud-mouthed-perfectly bla? tant -in his call for help to culti? vate tho rich land in his vicinity. He says : White laborers and freedmen are very much needed iii Hastrup Couuty: Many of the best farms in the County are without adequate force to culti? vate thom, and some, we learn, are without a single freedman. Labor? ers and freedmen, come to 1'.istrep County immediately, if you want employment. One-fourth, one-third, and in some cases one-half, of thc crop ia given. Spread fcbo news, everybody, that Bastrop County, the bannes cotton County of the State last year, wants more laborers. In relation to an extra session of the Texas Legislature, tho Austin Stnlc Gazette comes out flat-footed enough : We now say, emphatically, that the Governor luis received nomformatf?n from thc President, which would in? duce him to call an extra session of tho Legislature-, or make it advisable I for him to do so, and that he has no such intention in tho present stale ol affairs. We trust this will settle thc rpiesf ion. I?'?TXA X:\TION Ol' THU GoVKRIiOli ot-" DEUAVAI?E. On Tuesday last, Gov. Saulshnry, of Delaware, was in? augurated at I lover. Of Iiis inaugu? ral addrcs . thc Delaware GazetU says: He expresses a becoming pride ii the position of this oki common wealth, and reminds his fellow-citi /.ens that thc remark that 'Thia ware, tho first to adopt, will he tia last to abandon thc Constitution," i: still inviolate. The wrongs and oj) pressions which many of her peopk i have endured from the mailed hand: of Federal officers and soldiers, i j cannot he expected will bc redresse* i through the power of so small ? j State as Delaware. But it is hopct j that the sternness with which thosi I innovations ol the Constitution hav j been opposed, w ill he beneficial ti 'future generations, and as an ex j ample for our sons, valued above al ! price. Tim day, however, may ye come when those who have set th laws of States at defiance, and in: prisoned without a hearing, an without cause, a large number of ea people, will view their course as precedent for the greatest evils an I worst tyranny. Then it may 1; j tiiose who have suffered will i'm;! rt j dress. Until then they must reniai; I content with the consolation <>i i? noceuec and the sympathy o'.' tho; ! sands of friends who felt deeply th wrongs that were imposed. - . . -?-o- ?- - A IL:I:.W,I> LIBEL.-In the gener? term of tim Supreme Court of Xe York, on Friday, the case of doh , H. More against dames Gordon be: nett came on. Tin' complaint in th ease was founded on a letter su] posed to bo written hy the uidow i Colonel Kimball, charging that I prostitute was under the patrona; or protection of the plaintiff. Tl lower court, after evidence to sim that the defendant was the publish of the Herald anil the publication tin- alleged libel, dismissed the cor plaint on the ground that it did n state a cause of action. Mr. Jnsti Foster granted anew trial, and tl def.-mian t appealed. The .argument of tue defendant ! substantially that the averment j the complaint is not a libel, as j would equally apply io the Magdal Association, to Isaac T. Hopper ai j other charitable persons and instit j tions, to whom it would he a gloi I and not a shame. Ami tint!, in ; fault ol' proper allegations and uendos, the complaint must fail. On the other side it is argued ti the complaint is sufficient, itaverri that thc language is malicious a false, and the simple and ordiiui meaning of the word was enough sustain tlie action. Cla.se not ci eluded. - . - __?.?^_ TEST OATH RESCINDED ANO TIS; SON CASES STETTED.-Judge toles, tho United States District Court, Thursday, passed an order rescind? the test oath required to be taken attorneys practicing in that cot This action is presumed to be in c< sequence ol' thc decision of United States Supreme Court, am is thought the State courts will loll the example.

"DUMMIES" LOOK-ING UP.-The Boston Traveler says that the steam car seems likely to take the place of 1 locomotives hereafter for light trains on all short steam roads, to give greater accommodation, with reduced ! fares, and :it the same time make more money.
