The approach of the holidays and of the interregnum of basiness they eaiiRi natoally gave an impulse to business list week, and the reports are jrnerally very ra.lsfactory. The New York Chronic! report: "Rjllroad earnirgs continue very favorable, ltd the statement for the second week of December, which we give on an-ther pae, ii by fir The best we have ba J Jot tome time. Only six of tbe sixty flv roads reporting show any de Crease, and tbe losses on these are so insignificant that the total for thtm all only reaches $10,328, against which the remaining roads have an increase of (693,024, leaving a net gain in the large enm of $070,696, or almost 16 per cant." With activity in freights there is corresponding gain in the amount of bnsiness, although some of the increase was caused by previous delay on account of snow. Th warlike preparations ' in Eu rope ' have delrimen'al effect upon commerce, bat Rusole has bo far failed to secure the loan Hhe has sought, and this may corupul lier to be more peaceably iucllned thin sbe would ba with (all po kets. In E a rape this fact bis had a Ittv.rable effect. The adjournment of Congress, by delaying someol its projected trade and financial measures, has aided act ivity. The OSronicfe remarks: ' The enormous volume of the retail Christ ines trade in New York this year Las probably ntver been equaled, and al though this is one degree ri moved rem the business of the exchangee and the wholesale houses, still it is an indication of no imall importance that the put year has been a prosperous one, and that the pocket of the paler familial la generally pretty well lined with money." Money bus been reported easy and loans lees dif ficult to obtain, while depres sion from that cause is now lit lie fth. The New York Indicator ays: "Nearly $2,200,000 of gold baa been received from abroad since Bat nrday, and a much larger amount Is on the way. The country will soon have back all the gold which it shipped in the first seven months of tbelyear. When we were shipping gold we had easy money ; now we are importing gold, and the bears try to make tight money." The ChronkU ays that the open market rates for call loans duiing the week on stock and bond collaterals have ranged horn 2 to 8 per cent , the usual ra'e to stockbrokers being 60 per cent. ; to day the rates were 45 per cent. Prime commercial paper is quoted at 636 per cent. Also that there has ben no real weakening of confidence a home or abroad, and Europeao, as well as American, investors continue to buv our good seen 1 1 ties and to be- believe in them. The ChronkU speaks in the most flat'erlng terms of the present condition and future pros pects if the South, which, it says, is really a ntw South. Silver, a week sgo, quoted 46 penes an ounce in London; it has fallen to 46 pence, at which rate the silver in our dollar Is worth 77 002 cents. The list of clear ings in another column shows a total g dn over the corresponding ,weok lut yir of 1.8 i:er Ciint ; the quletneis that followed the panlo on Wall street ac counts lor the small Increase. Leavirg out New York, we find the iucreaeo to be 10.3 per cent. When we remem ber that the era of revival had sot In before thnt time we shall find this in areass a substantial indication of "the good time coming," if war, labor dis putes and CoEgieanional refusal to adapt its policy to ciicumstancos does not hinder progrjrs. In the list of c earing" of thirty places only four show a decrease as auulnst lost year, Among them New Yoik is below 6.1 per rent, and Galveston 8.7; Now Or leans hadau increase of 10.5 per cent,, and Memphis of 31.1 percent.

Nowa days one millionaire looks fcr the dt lighter ol ano her millionaire to con' - root a. marriage with his son that shall unite the two properties.

Why di lChurchl l leave the Tory Oab'nt-t? Is a question now ducuseed with much interest. He said heraase of the extent cf lbs war snpplies that wees to lis proposed. The general understanding is that this is a more txmee end not a reason. When he vieiltd Ireland In the summer he ex- proesod a liljeralily ot ssnliraont that was wcnder'ul in a Tory, and was es pecially earnest in SEr-urances thnt if a Tory administration were established it would never re'urn to the vain ex psdient i( coercion. B it a coercion policy is precisely what the Ministry are establishing. D.es the key to his resignation from ofllca He here? If so, it is a good prognostic for the Heme Rulers, far It would show his belief that to identify himself with ccercion would be to irjune his future political career. me sentiments ne exi reeeea at tbe rpsnfcg of bis administrative oarser were seen at ths time to have a liberality of tone none of his colleagues exprewed.

It would only be another 'llf far sack as they learned to make under Disraeli. "IhertAj ground at the b rttam, said Bryan O'Lrnn" when he jumped into the river.

In the meantime the detectives obtained tbe names ct all persons discharged or who vo utarily left the employ of the express com pany during tne p-ecemng year, and ound among ib former W. W.

From Leavenwortn it was found thi.t llaigbt 1 ad como to Chi C'ign, where be had been employed as an express driver and aho wcrk d for Fred Witrotk, the mysterious "Jim Cummiog," who was opora ing a reel yard at thecornerof Liniiiilnand Weet L.k s're 's.

When inquiry was pumicd respecting witroik it was fi.uud that be corresponded Vf ry cloeely to the rliscription given of tbe mystrlons "Jim Cnmmings." Fur ther cautious inquiries show"1 that Wittock hid left the city on Ojtobir 12 h with Tom Weaver, the laundry- man, wbose p areoi Dusineasis at no. 733 We.t Lake street, snd within a few doors of Wl'rock's coil ysrd. It was also learned tbat tbe men hid taken with them two values, a shot gun and a muikvt, and explaiued tbat i hey were going to Arkansas to bunt. Weaver, it wes ascertained, bad re turned to Chicag) on Oc o'.ier 2 2d. Home ,of the hand writing of Wit rockjwas obthiued and submitted to tbe man wbe was passing judg ment on the letter addressed to tbe Qlob-Dcmorot. The detectives state that tbia leiter, which was written to eicnlpate Fotheriugham, prrfe'sed to tell the facts leading np to tbe robbery and what had occurred after the rob- t ery. In this "Jim Cummioga " ex plained tbst he had left a packegn in the nnion depot at St. Louin which would show that he had a number of tho letter heads ot th exprws com hanv, and in tbia letter the writer ea d be had gine to tie Missouri iiv.-r to a point opposite Labadia and took a skitl below SU Charles and 0 )aied down the rivsr. Deteitivea were sent to 8 . Chariei and found th.U two men answering to tbe description ot Wit- lock and Weaver hid biugbta skill and provisions and had gone up tbe river iu tuber instead of dowri the river. Theskifl was afterwards found Io a gull partly covered with mn 1 and rand. 1 1 the bundle Jim Cummin&s e poke as having been left at tbe nnion ili pit, in addition to o'ber articles, were some prictd blanks, and on one n( these was found the addriss 2108 Chestnut street, but which was only dierernable under a ndcroscope. At tti's number was found to be living a woman named Mrs Berry, whs related that she bad had two roomers who corresnonded to Witrock and Weaver. Thev had come to her house on Octo ber 18th and Weaver departed on the night of OotobfT 22, saving he was going ti Kansas Uity. Witrock left on the evening of October 25. explain ing tbat he intend-d to to to Kansas Citv also, Mr J. Berry was able to give a very close description ot both men. Sarct ing ti e rooms they bad occupied, two red stami s were found which corresponded to tht labels placed on two valises shipped to St. Lou:s from St. Charles, as was ex plained t-y a btudy of the ho ks ot the Picflo hi lire's Company, showing ti.at they were the baygge ot the two mnn who hud been at ihtt place bar-a-tiilng for tie sk ft and pro- visions. When theite facts bsd all been gathered a close watch tti placed niton Weaver in Chicago ad the cjal yard of Witrcck which wss being masaged by Kinney. Op eratives wers also srnt to - Leaven worth, where Witrock's mother and s'ster, both respectable people, were residing. It was found that Halght's wife snd children were with Haight'a mother in Leaven wor h, and tbat Haight's wife was in correspondence wii Haight, who was located a' Nash ville, Tenn.

Looi', rametoCMcego and identified Weaver ai one cf the men woo had beein - a roomer at their hr.astv ' Tbe defec tives then decided not to noleet Weaver, bnt would await the rttorn Witrock.' Investigation about this time showed that Oscer Cook, for merly resiling st Leavenworth, a dote friend of Witrock'r, had gone to Kaneas Ci'y, where bs was f'iund to be working as a cooper in the east bottoms and living at a boarding house ke p by a woman named Cox. The story as current that Cook bad won a lerge amount cf nionev in a lottery, bat this idea was very soon exploded. Ic was discovered that Cook bad made etveial trips away from the city, and hie journeys were always fal lowed by the appearance rf one of Jim Cumminis's letters.

On Fiiday morning the myserious shadow came out cf tbe Witrock bouse as did aliso Kinnev, and after making a careful survey, Witrock ap peared. The men went fouth on Liu coin street, showing evident alarm all the while and finally en'ered a liquir store kept hy an Italian on Mtdieon street near Lincoln. Kobert A.
