No Spoolal to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Ootober 2.—The Mark Lane Express' weekly review of the British oorn trade says tho weather during the past week was very line. Appearances favor an early and severe winter. The cold is general over Europe. A fortnight almost free from rain bus enablod good progress with tho harvest in the North. Tho event of the week has been a largo shipment of wheat from Atlantio ports. Tho immediate effect has been a sudden oheck,trade buyors holding off for the mo ment, but whether this is reasonable in the presont position and prospects of trade is open to question. It is abso lutely evident that wo shall not receive tho supplies wo reckoned ou from some quarters. India and Egypt will not do half that was expected. As winter comes on the supplies from Russia will bo cut off. There remains little to look for ex cept from tho Atlantic ports, and with winter before us and the consumption of the country is mainly in these wheats. It is hard to believe that the autumn ship* meats can be more than we need nt the moment when this little panic is on, and the liberal shipments of one or two weeks are imagined to be more than the trade oon stand. It may be well to suggest that these shipments are not un precedented, and to recall the fact that in August 1874, and 1875, they wore at the rate of 150,000 quarters per woqk. Surely this year, when we are thrown al most "entirely on this sourco of supply for tho winter, the trade should not be shaken by shipments no larger than in former years when our wants wore less, and sources of supply wore open, which are now closed. In forming a judgment of future ship ments, there are other facts also to be noted. Tho liberal shipments this month have not been effected without driving prices up on the other side. A change has evidently oome ovor shippers since they were so eager to sell at low prices. Re-sales have been mode hero daily at abont 53 shillings to 54 shillings per quarter for winter red, and 51 shillings to 52 shillings for spring ; bnt prices in New York and Baltimore are relatively qnito above these quotations. This cer tainly does not point to any extraordinary shipments this autumn from the Atlantio ports. Any depression caused by this foar will probably be temporary. CaRiloi Jfl. Clay Justified. Louisville, Ky., October 2.—The oor- oner’s jury gave a verdiot that Cassius M. Clay aoted in self-defence.

B TAYNE —A MEMBEB—BILL WOULD NEVER HAVE PASSED HAD NOT THE DEMOCRATS THOUGHT JUDOE DAVIS WAS OERTAIN OF SELECTION. Hon. H. B. Payne, in his opening speech in the Ohio oampnign is thns re ported : TIIE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. Mr. Payno then gavo a history of tho creation of the Electoral Commission, and said : As certain members of tho Electo ral Commission, and oertain of tho distin guished oounsel who appeared bofore it, have freely criticised its notion and dis- cussod the morits of its decisions, it is not inappropriate for me, on this first ap- poarauco of mine bofore tho poople of Ohio since my return from Washington, to relate my r experience and publish my views respecting that most remarkable drama. I learn, too, that among the Democrats there exists some misappre hension ns to the motives and considera tions which induced the creation of tho Commission, nud tho hope is indulged that a brief narrative from ono who was present, an a witness, as an aotor, from the conception to the final consummation and who has no cause or inclination to conceal or withhold any faot or occur rence, will dispel nil doubts and suspic ions as to the fidelity nud eonrage of the Democratic members and Senators. Let me recall tho situation. The exoitoment of tbe election had been prolonged, and was intense. The House was Democratic, the Senate Re publican. Each claimed that its candi date had heeu elected. Ench thoroughly understood its own position, its strong and its weak points. Nover did it under estimate the tact and resonreos of its op ponents. Tho returns, single and dupli* cate, wore in tbo actual custody of the President of tho Senate, and he wns ready to count or dispose of them at such time and in such inunnor as his party friend, in canons might direct. The twenty* seoond joint rule, under which a Presidential count has been determined, and whioh enabled either houso by its dissent to rejoot tho vote of a State, had been abrogated on tho part of tho Senate. Tho Morton bill of tho previous session, whioh substantially grouted to either honRe tho same power, had boon onriously but unintentionally sus pended by a motion to rooon' aider. The Edmnnds proposition t< snbmit tho contested oases to tho Supreme Court had signally foiled. There was manifestly no recourse but to ono of the two following methods : Congress mast by law create a tribunal for tho trial of tho contesting cases, or matters must be left to work out some possible result. In tho absence of legislation, there was no doubt what tho aotion of the President of tho Senate would bo. Though many of his own party questioned and even denied his right to count tho votes, yet, if no other way wns provided to avoid confusion and anarchy, tho entire body of Republi cans, excepting perhaps three or four, would havo justified nnd sustained the aotion of tho President. He wns under no legal obligation to go to tho hall of the House, when tho IIouso would havo boon protected in tho demand of its equal rights, but first inviting tho attendance of tho House in the Sonato ohamhor, lie would, protected by its police, have open*, ed the returns, counted tho votes, and declared Hayes elected, and the House would havo been utterly helpless in tho promises. It oonld have returned to its own hall, and pre ceded to vote by States, and elected Til- don; bnt this would havo boon revolution ary and futile, inasmuch as tho contin gency providod in tbo Constitution for snob action had not occurred. The crea tion of a tribunal, tboroforo, for tho peaceful and orderly settlement of tho controversy, was the dictates of duty and patriotism, no less than of sound policy and political expediency. Tho proposition to raiso a committee of conference origi nated, not in tho Sonato, but in tho House, and with a Republican member. Eaoh committeoo matured its plan, nnd then submitted it to the joint meeting. That of the House committee, drafted by Mr. McCrary, the present Secretary of War, and unanimously approved, pro posed n tribunal to consist of tho five senior Associate Justices of tho Supremo Court, and to snbmit to it without re serve all tho papers and evidence in tho possession of tho President ot tho Sonato, or eithor of tho housos of Congress with power to take such additional testimony ns they should doom necessary. Theplau of tho Senate Committee was a tribunal to consist of four justices and nine members of Congross, five to be chosen by each Houso nnd one of them to bo cast ont by lot, and the submission of the pnpors and testimony under severe re strictions. I need not detail the long struggles between tbe committee, the agreement to tbo ten members of Con gress equally divided between tho houses and the two parties, their inability to agree upon tho fifth justice, wo offering to accept Mr. Davis nnd they offering to take SWayno nnd Miller and give us Clif ford and Davis, our insisting upon Clif ford and Field, and tboir finally assent ing to that, but on condition that they might drop Swayne, and take Millor and Strong. Tho Democratic members of the two committees assented to this measure,with the full belief and expectation that Judgo Davis would be appointed tho fifteenth member, as umpire. He was tho sonior of tho remaining associates, nnd was the only one qualified by freedom from parti san bias, whioh, together with his learn ing and unsullied integrity, omiuoutly fitted him for the place; and whon, in ad dition to all this, two of tho four asso ciates were Demoora»s, it was not strange that wo woro all confident that no one elso than Judgo Davis would in any event bo placod ou tho Commission; and I fool warranted in affirming that had it boon probable that Judgo Bradley or either of tho other Judgos would havo been appointed to a seat on that tribunal, that electoral bill would never have been reported to tho two llousos, or onaotod into a law. Tho selocton of Judgo Davis was anticipated and oxpeoted by both parties in Congress nnd by tho country at large. It is hut justice to Mosers. Clifford and Field to make public the fact that at tho first mooting of the four Justices they votod for Judge Davis, and persisted in so doing, though Judge Strong assured thorn that Judge Davis would not accept, and it was only at the mooting on tho following day whon Mr. Strong presented a written comtuuni cation from .Judge Davis, peremptorily declining tho position, that they reluc tantly voted for Judgo Bradley. Various reasons have boeu assigned for Judge DaviR* declining this great public duty. Senator Matthews attribntos it to tho interforonco of Providence, in enusing hiiu iu the meantime to bo elected to the United Statos Senate. It is difficult to porcoivo bow his elootion to nn offico, tho term of whioh would not oommonco until tho labors of the Commission were olosod, could possibly conflict with his discharg ing his duties 'as Commissioner. Possi bly the persistent opposition of tho Sen ate, implying distrust or fear of his im partiality, may have influenced his de cision. However that may be, bis re fusal to nerve was tbe occasion of profound disappointment and deep and bitter re gret. While no man, ho far as I know, is authorized to say what his final opinion would have been after boaring tho casos, yet the Democratic party and tbo whole country would havo accopted bis decis ion as tbat of an upright, learned nnd fearless judge, aud would have respected it accordingly. The speaker then gave a history of tho Florida case, characterizing tho aotion of the Ropnblioan members of tho com mis sion as a fraud. He spoke in somo plain terms of their aotion in tho Louisiana DDT IIAIIV OFF MINK. I1ARI.F.S F. ADAMS.

Toombs’ views on the subject. Baltimore Sun.] Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, is in Baltimore, at Barnum's, having come hero to consult Dr. Chisolm in reference to his eye. Mr. Toombs is now considerably Advanced iu years,though retaining all tbe vigor and bearing of earlier manhood. He was subject to groat strain during tbe Georgia Coustitutioifhl Convention, which adjourned the last of August, after a ses sion of two mouths. Mr. Toombs was tho author of nearly all the prominent features of the new Constitution, which is to bo submitted for ratification iu that State. In conversation Mr. Toombs said ho was snrprised to see that Rescue Conk ling’s right baud had forgot its cunning. It was a happy mistnko for tho South, however, bh Mr. Hayes would in conso- quonoe be emboldened iu tho pursuit of his Southern policy. This is tho oppor tunity for the Sonth, and ho might add that the “lost oanso is won.” lie did not support Tilden, bnt bad Tilden boon President instead of Hayes the Southorn policy would bring ont an organized op' position that would dofer its practical workings for years. A constant roador of the Baltimore Sun for tho last thirty years, Mr. Toombs said he was glad to find that tho wisdom aud sagacity whioh had always characterized its course to wards tho Sonth was now judiciously given to tbo snpport of the Southern poli cy of Mr. Hayes. There can bo but one of two results from this policy. If Hayos doeiovoR the South ho will split his own party, and if ho snccoods in establishing his Southern policy ho will moroly be the providential instrument of carrying out Democratic principles. Mr. Hayes, after leaving tho North, must havo been aston ished to fiud an •absence of office RookerB in tho South. Iu Georgia you could not find a Southern man who would give his time to Foderal office. They are perfect ly willing to leave tho offices to those who may bo found to fill them. Mr. Toombs said ho had declined an invitation to spook in Baltimore princi pally on acconnt of his ultra conceptions of the principles of Democracy, hut tbat ho would nrgo Mr. Aloxaudor II. Steph ens, now here, who is a moderator in views to accept an invitatiou to address tho peoplo of Baltimore. Mr. Toombs leaves for Now York ou business, and on bis return next week may stop ovor at Washington to seo tbe President nnd somo Southorn Representatives. IIo snys the Prosidont should be warned against a class of persons who, on representation, might seok to secure Southern pntronnge. Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, of Goorgia, who arrived in Baltimore a day or two ago, is ou a visit for a few days to Col. R. M. Johnson,his friend nnd biographer, at Pen Lucy, in Baltimore county. Mr. Stephens is much improved in health, and travels with very little inconvenience.

THE REV. DR. MULLER TELLING MORE ABOUT THE WONDERS OF HIH WORK IN URIH- TOL. Tho Rev. Dr. George Muller enter tained another large audience in Plymouth Church last ovening with a continuation of tho narrative of tho manner in which he raisod nearly $4,000,000 through prayer to God for tho support of the or phan aud charitable institutions in Bris tol, Eng. He said that ho thought no more of asking tho Lord for a million dollars now than ho did for the first thir ty dollars that he obtained when he began his work forty years ago. When ho had invested $7(5,000 in buildings, so many orphans came that an additional building fund of $250,000 was needed, and tho money was forthwith procured through prayer. Subsequently u third building fund of $310,000 was required and pro cured by tho same means. Tho Rov. Dr. Muller always had tho money in hand boforo he signed the contract with a mas ter builder for tbo work. There aro now five large ediftcoH devoted to tho charitable institutions at Bristol. Said Mr. Muller: “The money raised does not represent all that has been procured by the means of praying to my Hoavenly Father. It was through prayer and faith that Chris tian raon and women were procured to act as teachers and helpors to take care of the orphans, At one time five hundred and twenty six children iu tho asylum were sick, and then it required faith ami patienco to do well and faithfully the task of caring for so many littlo invalids.” At the close of tho narra’ivo tho Rev. Dr. Muller read somo letters which he had just received from the orphans in Bristol, congratulating him on his seventy-second birthday. “IF.” If rny loro bad h With Hbining br I bml tft’on her uly bml beet. »•>, ir»ho’d mnilo on mo below.

SMITH DECIDES TnE NEW ALABAMA LAW REGARDING TIIE KILL ING OF CATTLE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Montgomery Advertiser,] Lust week in tho Circuit Court of El more, Judge J. Q. Smith presiding, nn important decision was rendered a fl eeting tho rights of ownors of cattle killed by railroad trains. At its last session the Legislature passed an act which made tho railroad oompanios liable for onttlo killed, whothor they woro in fault or not; whom- ns under tho old law tho railroads wore liable only wbou tho killing was the re suit of nogligoneo. Mrs. Zoiglor brought suit against the Sonth and North Alnhnmn Railroad Compnny, under tho now lnw, aud tho counsel for tho railroad company attacked tho now law as unconstitutional. Tho grounds on whioh tho stututo was nttnckod woro as follows : 1. Tbo act impairod the corporate frail chise, given by the act of incorporation or ohartor, boenuso undor protonco of regulating tbo business, tho act in effect impoBod such terms in carrying it on, as virtually to impair tho value of tho char torod rights; and was therefore violative of tho Constitution of the United States. 2. Tho act singled out aud wado an odious discrimination against railroad corporations—making them alono liable for injurios occurring without fault on their part, while iu tho prosecution of thoir lawful business, while no other class of corporations or persons iu tho wholo Stato woro liable for anything done in tho lawful prosecution of their business, oven if injury resultod therefrom—unions guilty of negligence or broach of duty. 3. That as to tho rights given by tho ohartor, and tho means neoessary to enjoy them, tho corporation had tho samo right to appear and defend in the courts, ns an individual ; yot this net forbid a defonco which was open to all other porsons or corporations in this State, when sued for similar injurios. 4. The act wns not “duo proooRS of law,” as it in effect made tho ostimato of throo disinterested citizens of tho value of tho cattle killed, conclusive upon the rail road company, whoroas tho railroad company had a rigl t, nnc’or tl o Constitution, to havo that mat tor deter mined by a jury. 5. That the act gavo exclusive privi leges to ownors of stock, not enjoyed by any other persons or classes, undor simi lar circumstances, in casos of injury to person or property ; that while in a suit for killing a oow, tho want of nogligoneo was no defense, yet when n man was kill ed, or any othor kind of property injured, want of negligence on tho part of tho rail road was a good defonso. (5. That tho act, in effect, denied railroad corporations tho equal protection of tho law; mudo odious discriminations against corporations; gave exclusive priv ileges to a particular class of citizens not aocnrdcd to any other; and impaired the obligation of the contract made in tho charter. Judgo Smith hold that tho act was plain ly unconstitutional. This loaves tho Us ability of railroad companies, in tho courts ovor which Judgo Smith presides, to stand on tho old law, whioh made them liable only whero thoro was negligence. This case wus nppoalod to tho Snprome Court. A very pioturesquo story is told of tho White Sulphur Springs correspondent of the Courier-Journal regarding tho widow of Governor Pickens, of South Carolina. “Sho was very much grioved,” says this correspondent calmly, “as a nowspapor article concerning hersolf, which spoke of her accepting Governor Pickens on cons ditiou that ho obtained a foroigii mission. She said that it seomod so mercenary and calculating in n girl of eighteen. Tho truth was that she was nn only child, nnd tho mission to Uussin wns the mother's objection to tho marriage. Governor Pickons was rejected, and had taken his passago for Europe. Ho wroto a farowoll to his lady lovo, but boforo concluding said it was not too late for her to change her mind, for if sho would tolograph him aftor receiving the lotter, and accept hiH proposals, ho would moot her in New Orleans and let tho steamer sail withont him. Sho did accept and a few weeks afterward they sailed to gether os man and wife. The marriage proved happy, nothing but tho war in terrupting (he course of true lovo. Gov ernor nnd Mrs. Pickens returned to South Carolina about tho time that State so- ceded. During thoir residence in Europe they had made many purchases of pic tures, statuary, furniture, raro laces and jewels. Those arrived at tho port of Now York, iu a Railing vessel, a month aftor thoir arrival. Everything was confiscated. Among tho articlos woro busts of the Govornor and wifo, by Powers. A New York gentleman purchased those at tho sale, and, after the war was over, sent thorn to the ownors in Sonth Carolina.” —Daniel O’ConnoU's translation of tho Pagan maxim of De mortuis nil nisi bo- ntnn was, “When a damned rogue dios, lot’s bemoan him.” A loss profano ren dering is this, “Of the dead there is no*» thing left but a bone."
