It would seem as if we had really eu tered upon an old IKCdontd winter, and that we art to ha?e, for Ibe preeent at leaat, plenty of mow and a frown river. To tb? people ) weabouU, who havo access to plenty of cheap ooal, this la not anob a forbidding prospect as it must be to hundreds and thou aanda of persona at Cincinnati, Loula vllle, and otbsr polnta below, where ooal la selling cp to 00 rent* per buahel. and bard to get at that. No wonder a Louisville dlepetoh aaya that "all other toplca aro absorbed In the great'anxie ty for a speedy eupply of fuel." And not only at points below la there dlatreee and suffering prevailing, bnt likewise, In the eaat. Fifty thousand persona are aald to be ont of employ ment In New York olty. Carpenters' wages have been reduced from f3 60 to 9260 per day, and only ba)f of them can find employment at that. Forty per oent of the Jewelers are out of work, as alao twenty-live per oent of the tailors, At,t. while three thousand aervant girls are in vain seeking plaoes. It is known that over seventy thou sand women In New York and Brook lyn earn their own and others' living by honest toil, and that one-third of them are now deprived of their usual employment. This is a aid atateof things lor tbe,oommenoement of win ter. New York is the rloheat, and at the sams time the poorest, olty In the Union. There are fewueotiona of country bet*, ter prepared for the rigors of the season than our own. Wheeling in the oentre Of a favored eoope of territory. Plenty or fuel and a good aupply of all that la necessary to make life oomfortable| Onr crops thii year were perhaps better than the average throughout the coun try. Our olty baa beeu generally pros perous, and as a rule there la work for all persons who seek It. Wo bear of none who fall to find employment of some kind. Bo that the Christmas Rea son does not approaoh us, as It will some communities, only to stir up bit ter contrasts between the preeent and happier days gone by. Heeretarj II anion's Case. The President sent into tbo Senate on Thursday, a long document giving his reasons forsuapendlng Secretary Stan ton from the War Office. The Ijaper waa rend in executive session, aSSp Its contents are only partially disclosed by the Washington correspondents. From what they say, however, about it we gather the following polnta: He chargesthat at the tlmeofthe N<*v Orlbuns riots, Mr. Stanton was fully awireof tbo danger of a general out break, but that he withhold the dis patches concerning tbo situation, from the President, for eleven days, thus putting It out of the power of the Ex ecutive to order taking precautions to prevent the riot, aud that, while the country rung from oue end to tbeother with abuse of the President. He states that when tbo Tenure of Office bill was under discussion in the Cabinet, Mr. Stanton furnished the strongest argument against its consti tutionality. That he subsequently ex pressed hearty approval of the veto of that set. The President remarks, con cerning this, that he had no reason to nuppoMconeso strongly opposed to this bill would take advantage or It. The letters which passed between Mr. John non and Mr. Stanton ut the time of the suspension,larejglven, and a long reca pitulation of the positions taken by Mr. Stanton, In the Cabinet, upon questions of reconstruction. This cov ers quite a number of pages, and does not differ very materially from the evidence given on the sarao point* by Mr. Stanton, before the Impeachment Committee. The President In giving his summary of Stanton's views, seeks to show that his opinions at first, and for some time, ?were the same as those of the Execu tive, and other members of the Cabinet. He then makes the point that Stanton changed, and without signifying such chunge, did all he could, as bead of the War Office, to thwart and interfere with the policy of the Administration. The President holds that so far as the publlo interests are concerned, there is no cause to regret the removal of Mr. Stanton, for the present Secretary ad interim, has, by his measures of econo my. saved millions of dollars to the Government. Mercantile Failures.?'The effect of the continued depression in mercan tile bnslness in the East Is beginning to appenr. Weak houses, that have been straining themselves to the ut most, in the hope of bridging the dull season, are now, in many cases top pling and tumbling. The Dry Goods Heportcr, which is generally good au thority in matters pertaining to its specialty .declares that the suspensions of the last few weeks, In tlio mercantile, line, Hggregate nearly $20,000,000. In ndditleu to the suspensions thore have been many compromises bstweeu debt ors and creditors, and there have also been extensions or paper tbat could not be met at maturity. The New York Sun, In view of these discoursing ructs, says "How for will this state or things go? Is now tb? question of vital concern among the inorchantH. One failure generally Injures several establish ments. The mercantile community is something like a child's playhouse or Htlcks?when one tumbles it strikes another, and in this communication of the railing force there is danger of h general smash." The resolution offered in tne House of Representatives by Mr. Hooper, or Massaobusetts, directing the Commit tee on Ways and Means to report a bill ho modi lying tbo Internal taxation so as to reduce the revenue from that source, and the tariff to an aggregate of three hundred millions, ought to meet ?with tbo approval or Congress, as it certainly does or the people, We may rest asmiiml that so long ns monoy continues to pour Into the Treasury In audi unprecedented sums, the ingenu ity of srhemers of every grade will bo directed to the manufacture or devices lo get hold or It. Every man who has a bobby to ride la now besetting Con ureas to put the cost or It on the na tional governuiHrit. The true WHy to bring tne coat or the government buck to the old standard is to rut down the revenues, and thus remove the tempta tion to extravagance.

The whisky, it whs claimed was bought of Stephen*. Tbe statute makes parliea who sell liquor responsible for damages. The Jury found, however, for the defendant. An advertisement appears In the SI.

The following Item we tind in tho Jfcporter Newspaper: "One day last week as Mr. Thomas Lowry, or Florence, was eating supper at tbe hotel of Elijah Marshal, of Bur getlstown?u conveyance In waiting outside to convey Idm to his home ?by some means a piece of meat got fastened In his throat, and he camo rushing Into the store room connected with the house In the agonies or chofci ng, and speenhloss.

Wkhtrrn orators have long been as famous for their incongruous meta phors aa the celebrated Sir Boyle Roach, who, in the Irish Parliament, stated that "he smelt a rat, he felt it In the breeze, and would nip It in tbo bad." Almost, ir not quite, as ridiculous a metaphor was made use of the other day In Congress, when a Missouri member asserted that the President wni a douhla-sklunt'd rhinoceros, and dial the acts of this Presidential night mare hanging on the breast <>r this na lion had gone into Ihe sewers or his tory."
