Tub Legislatures of Ohio and Penn*
ay Ivanla met yesterday. In the latter
tho Uepnblioana have a good working
majority. In the former, things are
mixed. It is considered at Columbus,
although a Hamilton county "reform"
Republican was chosen speaker, that
the organization of. the House was a
virtual triumph for the Democracy.
There was no presiding ollloer chosen
in the Benate, the plnoe being lllled by
the Lieut. Governor; but the distribution
of the other offices, in both Houses,
seems to have been controlled by the
Cincinnati balanoe-of-povor men, who
divided thorn between the two parties,
givlngto (he Democrats the larger share.
If, however, the result in the House la
a Democratic triumph, it must be be*
ratine tho "reform" KepnbUcau elected
wan supported by the Democrats, and
1h under their oontrol or lias made

New Year's Day was celebrated
here In ancient style, the weather being
genial and propitious. At the White
House the Maine old scene was enacted.
The President, bored 10 death, and
heartless In the work, stood by the
door, undergoing the torture of having
hie arm pulled out of his ehonlder,
from noon till night: No smiles from
him, and no happy New Year was his,
Hlfl wile, more agreeable because more
philosophical, stood in the center of
the room, and did not seem to be nu*
happy. She received all with great
courtesy aud grace. A number or her
relatives, including six or eight of the
Dents, were scattered about the room,
and assisted In the entertainment of the
crowd.
First came the members of the Gabi*
net, plain and agreeable gentlemen, all
ot whom the President and wife, and
his wife's relatives, seemed really glad
to see. Next came the Diplomatic
Corps, radiaut In oocked hats, plumes,
badges, embroideries, laces and tin*
eels; and It 1h not at all probable that
anybody but their own looklng*glas*
sea whh giau 10 Bee uem. j ob x-xvhiileut
Hbook bands with all of them,
very particularly, and Mrs. Orant wan
very amiable over their Jabbering. '
The Senators and members loliowed,
and tbehave<l themselves much better
than in tbe Capitol. The President and
all hands seemed to enloy their calls,
and the snatches of conversation that
were held. The Supreme Court Judges,
round bellied, 'with fat canon lined,,
followed Congress. Each made bis lit*
tie bow, spoke his Utile speech, paid
bis compliments to Mrs. Grant, took a
turn about the room*, shook all the
Dent's by the hand whom be happened
to know, and (hen tbey all came to*
gether again, took their carriages, and
departed. Following, came the army,
navy, and marine officers, and the survivors
of the war of 1812.
And Just here Is where tho laugh
came In. Some way, yonr magnificent
officer can't take oare of bis sword, bis
bat, and shake bands at the same time.
So all of the swords that did not manage
to get between the wearer's legs
and trip them, snooeeded in punching
somebody in tbe back; or the hat would
rail, or tbe beautiful yonng ofiloer
would shake hands with the Marshal
who Introduced him, instead of the
President.
The usual atrocity was committed
npon the 1812 soidlsrs who were compelled
to endure enough fatigue to dishearten
a cast-Iron man, and this, too,
when they were scarcely able to crawl
ii bunt.
Tim Dbjuuh.?Yoar oourt reporter
describee some of the dresses aa follows:
Mrs. Grant waa dressed In a rich
black Lyons velvet, heavy train, high
bodloe, black aatln and laoe trimmings,

punohea and egg-nogs being discarded
from many tablea whlob formerly fur nished.

thla city continues. All the late operators
are engaged In the strike save ons.
At a meeting thla morning they en*
doreed the aotton of the operator* on
the Paclfio Slope In opposing a reduction
of snlarlea there, and felt it a duty
toaupport their brethren with all their
alrengtb- The following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That any proposition to rebqiiib
onr work which does not guarante*
the reinstatement, and oo the old
terms, of all engaged la <be present
movement will be rejeotod.
Encouraging telegrams were received
from Louisville, Indianapolis,
Columbus and Pittsburgh; one from
New York stated that if the necotls*
lions pending with tbe Western Union
officers were not favorably concluded
to-morrow morning, the Northeast and
Southwest would follow the West and
embrace forty of the principal cities in
the United Slates. Another meeting
ooonrred to-night, the offioersof the
company with operators called from
other stations, have been doing work
to-day. Thus far we are not able to

New York, Jan. 8.
Miguel Adams, tbe President of the
Cuban Junta la this city, communicatee
the following:
Tbe Cuban Junta of tbla city have
read with tbe utmont Indignation lb*
telegram forwarded to the associated
nrena from Havana, under date of yeaterday.
Maying tbe edltora of tbe Havana
Journals affirm that they have
eeen a circular laeaed by meubera ot
tbla Juuta, ordering the Cabana to lay
down their arms. Taken In oonneotlon
wltb the repnrta ludustrloualy circulated
of lale, both In Havana and tbla
oonntry, that the Patriots are presenting
themselves In large number! to
tbe Spanlah authorltlea for pardon,
tbe above news sliows a deep laid
auu UUBUrUfJUlUUn nuuouig IU imicn
public opinion respecting the progress
or oor revolution. I hereby denounce
the circular referred in, If any saoh exist,
as en nbanrd and malloloua forgery.
Far from the Junta being In (he slight*
est degree inclined to induce the Cuban
Liberals to give op the contest, we are
oontlnulug our most strenuous efforts
In aid ol the revolution, and are every
dsy more confident of its success, with
or without the support of foreign nations.
This, aooordlng to the latest Intelligence
we have from the seatol war,
whioh reaches np the 7th of Deoember,
is also the spirit wbloh prevails among
the Cubans. These stories of wholesale
surrendering to the Spanish authorities
have been circulated before with as
little foundation as now. and without
securing the desired result.'

Clar Exhibit.
From tbe Financial Artlclo in the New
York Tribune, of lat.
The Old Year goes out with Gold al
120 ** cent, aa against 185 V cent at the
| dose of the previous year. Tbe goldI
bearing funded Public Debt of the
United Slates is reduced by over ninety
million of dollars, the present total
standing 92,017,000,000, as against f2,1107,854,000
at the close of 18G8. The reI
ductlon has been by purchases by the
present Administration slnoe the 4th of
(Maroh last, under the Sinking fund
aot of Feb. 25,1802. The consumption
oflorelgu merchandise through the
New York market la fifteen V cent in
advance of the year 18CS. and a corresponding
increase Is believed to be
| a safe calculation upon tbe sales
of domestic merchandise. The dividends
> earned by the railways, the
| Savlngci Hanks and the Oily Banks
are In the main also ahead of
tho previous yeur, and especially 1mI
proved In the rale of Interest and the
accumulation of deposits upon which
this Increased allowance 1b made In the
I Savings Banks. Ana accepting mi
! these facta as constituting a reasonably
safe criterion by which to jadge tbe
relative prosperity In business of tbe
two years, we should say tbat tbe In*
crease In 1809 over 1868 Is In a much
larger proportion than the Increase of
population. On turning to the Stock
Exchange as a barometer of tbe relative
credit or (be Government, we find tbat
while gold, as measured by our Treasury
greenbacks, has gone down fifteen
psr cent, tbe United States 5-20 bonds
have gone up fall live per cenU
Prom the Plnanclal Article In tho Philadelr
phla Ledger of Int.
As we to-day enter upon a new year,
It Ih proper to look back and Institute
oomparlsonn, that we mav see wblthor
we are tending. Trade In general Is
oonoeded to be dull?unusually so?
and, as compared with this date lust
J rear, prices of the leading staples are
ower. The wholenale nrloe of superline
flour on the 31st of December, 1809,
was about fO per barrel; It Is now quoad
at fl no?a decline of one-fourth of
Its prion. Best white wheat was then
quoted at $2 26 per bushel; It Is now
quoted In this market fl GO?a decline
of 75 cents per bushel. Kye has fallen
from fl 00 to fl, corn from tl 80 to 91,
I and oats from 78 to 67 cents. Kye,
I llour, corn meal, and almost the entire
direct product of the soil, have expert- .
| en cod a very similar decline, while the ,
indirect produce of the farm?pork, <
beef, lard and seeds, have generally (
held their own, and In some lnntancee
advanced. The great stsple of the
conntry, cotton, as compared with this g
time a year ago, is about 1 cent per ,
pound higher. This, on a crop of 1,200,- ,
000.000 pounds, gives a dlfferenoe of ,
twelve millions of dollars?a very i
handsome addition to the wealth of the
cotton growing Btates, and an Item (bat J
must tell favorably on the national exoliftnges.
The other Sontbern products i
of sugar, molasses, and naval stores .
gouerally, are off In prices from 6 to 15 ,
per cent. Wool and whisky remain at j
much the aame prices as last year?If 1
anything, a shade lower. The same Is '
trne of hides and leather. Grade and
rellned petroleum are about 6 per cent
lower. Iron, another of Pennsylvania's
staples, has declined In prioe
materially. The price of the domestic .
article is controlled In a great measure '
by that of Hootch pig and English bar, ,
the former of which was quoted last <
year at 940*42 per ton, and Is now down
to |32a34,and the latter, whloh then rnled
at |90s06, Is now quoted at |80s85 per f
tou. The decline In the manufactures '
of ootton, wool and flax la even greater ,
than that shown In the prioe or breadstuffs,
ss Is most of the other items, 1
except provision?, thai make up house*
bold charges. We have not at band
any aatlsfaotory sohedule of wages last J
year at corresponding period, or even
of wages now paid, by whloh to make
a comparison. In this absence of data, 1
we leave this point to eaoh trade or
branch of Industry to form Its own
comparison. Relying merely upon
recollection, we are of opinion that 1
WHges on the average are as high as .
they were one year ago. and In aome 1
departments of Industry higher. If wo

then 110JJ; they are now quoted at !

The 6 HUI of Jannary and July were

changes In the price* of atook securities
art both waya, and being mainly
traceable to local canaaa, afford no oerlain
data aa to the existence oI any
general cause, aa arlalng ftorn the appreciation
or the onrrancy or of
any change prejudicial to the general
bualneu of the country. There
are alwaya oroakera In all departmenta
of trad* who are very peraletIng
that the front la the worst period
of their exlstenoe, and who aee
nothing but deepalr In the fnlore. For
ancb aa tboae there la nolhlog ao effectual
aa a recurrence to the past and a
oontrast ot faota and tlgnrea. Business
la reported dull, and the past year
aa generally unfrnltful In resulte.
There probably hare been fewer large
rortunee made laat year than In eome
or the few that next preoeded It; but
we believe profile have been more general
and more equal than ror yeara before,
and that bualneaa the country over
Is In aa eonnd a condition aa at any
time within the last ten yeara. For the
laat two or three montha there haa been
the naual annual number or falluree In
business, but a oareful examination
shows that the failures of 1809 are
greatly below those of 1888, and a large
majority of tboae reported thla year are
made no of email oonoerna. Involving
limited liabilities, and little calculated
lo endanger credit or to paralyie en"
