THE SAVANNAH PRICKS CURRENT
1SSUKD BY THE MKRCI1ANTS GEN*
KRAL EXCHANGE.
Wo publish this morning the Weekly Re
view of the Savannah Market, issued by the
Board of Directors of the Merchants Gen
eral Exchange.
The Letter Sheet Prices Current will be
issued this morning, and merchants wish
ing them will please hand in their orders
as early as possible.
The Business Card of any firm will be
inserted in all orders for twenty five copies
or more.
Kxportu and Tonnage of Savannah.
Wo call attention to our regular monthly
statement of the exports from this port and
the tonnage, for the month of April. It will
be seen there is a slight decrease in exports,
but they still exceed those of the correspon
ding period in 1867 by $800,000, and in all
previous years by a larger amount.
A correspondent of the World, who
writes from Charleston, S. C., affirms that
Mr. C. C. Bowen, who ha9 just been elected
to Congress upon the Radical ticket, was a
rebel captain, and was cashiered by a court
martial; that he was afterwards charged with
having hired the assassination of the presi
dent of the court, and escaped jail before
trial by the termination of the Confederacy;
a ad that he was subsequently imprisoned by
General Sickles in Castle Pinckney for em
bezzlement. Charges like these, tays the
New York Sun, must of course be investi
gated whenever Mr. Bowen presents himself
for admission to Congress. If they are
proved true, he should promptly be sent
back to South Carolina, and a new election
should at once be ordered to fill the vacancy
in bis district.
The editor forgets that crime or color are
next to indispensable qualifications for office
under Radical rule at the South. A reputa
tion for intelligence, good breeding, honesty
and integrity are poor recommendations for
the suffrages of the newly enfranchised
voters, imported vagabonds and native scala
wags who now rule our elections. Our
Northern brethren must make up their minds
to sit in the national councils with such
white mea as Clift and Bowen, or such ne
groes as our Senator elect from Chatham, a
graduate of Sing Sing penitentiary, or close
the doors of Congress agaiust us.
Among the many Cabinet rumors in circu
lation is one to the effect that Mr. McCuL
loch has positively determined to resign
whether the President is removed or not, and
that Stanton i9 the only member of the pres
ent Cabinet that will be retaiued by Mr.
Wade.
Death of Lord Brougham.—Lord Brougham
the eminent lawyer, reformer, and ex-Chan-
cellor of England, died at his rural retreat at
Cannes, France, on Saturday last, in the nine
tieth year of his age. The telegram says he
died easily, falling into a slumber from which
he never awoke.
The rooms of Old Ben. Wade, the lieir
apparent to the Radical throne, are in the
Washington House. A Washington letter says
his rooms are now regularly guarded, night and
day. The same letter says the lady boarders
ot that establishment report that Mrs. Wade,
since her late return here from Ohio, has cut
most of her old acquaintances and associates.
They say she is sifting her company preparatory
to entertaining them at the Executive Mansion.
A Lirge-Balary .—The fact hag just been
brought out that the district attorney fc r
Philadelphia (a city officer) receives a salary
of $32,100. This includes a large amount
of perquisites, and is $7,000 more than the
President of the United States receives. He
ha9 held the office for several years under
a radical administration, and his own politi
cal friends, who oppose his re-election, are
showing np his large income.
Proposed Treaty with Great Britain.
Mr. Seward has been busy since the arriv
al Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, in an
effort to make a treaty with England relative
to the rights of naturalized citizens, similar
to that which was recently made with
Prussia It is now understood that this
treaty has been almost completed, and that
the probabilities are that it may be submit
ted to the Senate this month.
Negro Delegates to the Chicago Con
vention.—The Convention will be composed
in part of negro delegates. There will be
a sprinkling of negroes in the delegations
from all the Southern States. How distaste
ful this will be to many df the Northern
members may be readily imagined. The
New York Times says: “They must be ad
mitted to the deliberations of the Conven
tion. 1 ’ The reason assigned by the Times is
thi9: “For their exclusion would repel the
negro vote of the South froth the Republican
party.” The same reasons would apply to
the admission to Congress of negro Senators
and Representatives. If the negroes take it
into their heads to run one of their own race
for President, there will be some tronble in
the Radical camp. There is no telling what
they will or will not do.
The Income Tax U nconstitutional.—The
New York Sun takes the ground that the
income tax i9 unconstitutional, it says the
Constitution—having reference to what was
once the Constitution of the late United
States—provides that all direct taxes shall be
levied upon States in proportion to their pop
ulation. Congress has no power to levy any
direct tax upon individual citizens. It must
impose such taxes upon the States, and upon
them only. The income tax is a direct tax.
It is levied not upon the States, but upon in
dividuals. Therefore it is unconstitutional,
jand cannot rightfully be collected of any
man..
Cincinnati, in her late municipal election,
showed a Democratic gain of 4,000 since
last year, and Chicago about 5,000. In most
of thp smaller towns of the West and North
west, the Democratic gains have been about
Jn the same proportion, and in some of them
In a still larger, proportion. We hear cf no
Radical gains anywhere. The fashion of
them i» obsolete. In .New Rempetaire the _
Radical majority wee redaoeimote Uiaa J haTe d the previous numbers,
.half, and in Conaec|£qpt in a
jority was doubled. In these AndieatiotvG we

WHO WILL BE THK DEMOCRATIC
NOH1NKK FOR PRESIDENT,
The New Orteani Crescent Aims. forcibly
endorses Mr.jPendlelon, the Ohio Statesman,
for the Democratic ^nomination for the Pres
idency.
“Mr. Pendleton is popular with the sol
diers, because he always voted for every ap
propriation made for their advantage and
comfort. No wives made widows, nor chil
dren made orphans, jean censure .him for the
wholesale butchery of their husbands and
fathers io a war which has resulted in ele
vating the negro and degrading the white
man, which has freed the slaves and en
slaved the freemen,. and set the ignorant,
▼icions, and depraved as rulars over the in
telligent, virtuous and honest. He is ac
ceptable-to all religions denominations, be
cause bis parly is opposed to the interfering
with the religious views or opinions of any
one.
“He is the staunch friend of the working
masses, who will vote as a unit for him, be
cause his ideas in regard to finance and taxa
tion, the payment of the national debt in
greenbacks, the abolition of the national
bankiug system, and the taxing of bond
holders, are identically the same principles
advocated by the labor reform party
throughout tbe North. He has always
maintained that the Democratic party is the
people’s parly—the workingman’s only hope
for deliverance from the oppression and ty
ranny of capitalists; that the II tdicals had
abolished black slavery iu the Snub, but
bad established in its stead a more detestable
form of white slavery all over the country;
that tbe poor are now the slaves of Radical
bondholders, the sweat of their honest
brows and the labor of their brawny arms
going to pay the expenses of the Govern
ment for the support of freedmen’s bureaus
and Radical reconstruction, while the rich
bondholders of Boston and New York are
exempt Irom taxation—thus violating au
express provision of the Constitution, re
quiring taxation to be equal and uniform.”
The New York Bun (Radical) admits that
there is a great deal of force in the cry
against the bondholders which Mr. Pendle
ton has set up, which has carried the YY r est
so that its delegates will be almost unani-
moQs for him, and which finds an echo in
the South. The Sun thinks, however, that
Governor Seymour’s chances are the be9t for
the nomination. This is, however, an out
side volunteer opinion. The contest now
seems to be between Pendleton, Seymour
and Hancock, with either of whom, should
the North unite on him, the South will be
content..

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Malabbook A Novel. By Ruth YVood-
land. New York : G. YV. Carleton & Co.
Publisher?.
This is & simple domestic tala, with a tan
gled thread of love running through it, which
is properly unravelled at the end. YVehave
not thoroughly perused it, but judge it to be
a pleasant book for desultory reading. It is
printed in Carleton & Co.’s best style.
Fairfax ; or, The Master of Greenway
Court. A Chronicle of tbe Y r alley of the
Shenandoah. By John Esten Cooke.
New York : G. YV. Carleton & Co.
Mr. Cooke is well known as the author of
“Surry of Eagle’s Nest,” “Virginia Come
dian?,” etc This is a talejof the Shenandoah
Valley in the middlo of the lastcentary, and
introduces Lord Fairfax, former owner of all
the Northern Neck of Virginia, bis factotum
a Border Captain, YVagner, and various set
tlers, each types ot the place and period.
The aim of the work is to present a picture
of wild life on the border, the superstitions,
adventurous incidents, Indian combats, pas
sions, habits, manners, etc., of the period.
The details of scenery, and many in the lives
of the personages are strictly true. The
drama of the book is both humorous and
tragic, and, it is claimed, is superior io in
terest to Mr. Cooke’s last work, which proved
a signal success.
John Milton and His Times. Au Historical
Novel. By Max King. Translated from
the German by F. Jordan. New York:
D. Appleton & Co.-
John Milton is generally known as the
poet who wrote Paradise Lost, and who
went blind; who sold his book in poverty
for five pounds, and had the satisfaction of
seeing it fall cold on the public; who apolo
gized in a preface for presuming to write in
blank verse; and whose principal composition
now ranks with the master-pieces of the
masters, ancient and modern. It would
scarcely seem tbat his life would furnish the
material for a novel, with any adherence to
truthful history. But be lived iu the stormy
times of Charles and Cromwell, and the pe
riod following the Restoration, and was saf
fioiently prominent as a republican to in
volve in a history of hi9 political life some
of the most stirring events of the times. His
domestic experience was checkered, and il
requires little use of fiction to weave the
materials of his life into an interesting novel
of the Mublbach and Manat order. This
author seems to.Hfl£ve adhered strictly to au
thenticated facts in the historical portions.
It is a book eveiy admirer of the great poet
will wish co read. It is issued in uniform
styla with the other Appleton Historical
Novels, a set of Which are a valuable addi
tion to any library. Tbe illustrations are
by Pcsfoa/ay.

Washington, May 14.—The Senate was
uo iu session.
House.—In the House alter the transaction
of unimportant business the omnibus ad
mission bill was resumed. Mr. Prnyn spoke
in opposition to it. Mr. Brooks followed.
He spoke oi the unfit character of the Rep
resentatives elected,{alluding particularly to
Florida. Stevens interrupted him by saying
that he was willing to agree that the Repre
sentatives. from Florida should not be ad
mitted. Mr. Brooks said he \fas glad that
Stevens agreed with bim on tbat point, and
proceeded, .saying that Georgia, Alabama,
and others, were controlled iu like manner
by squatter?—maintained that their Consli
tutional Conventions and Legislatures
were composed of men who had no in
terest in the State ; men who were
not understood by the people, nor did they
understand the people. He said a tyranny
worse than tbat ever was countenanced bv tbe
Czar of Russia or the Sultan of Turkey had
been perpetrated upon the people there by
the powers that had determined to control
the election there by any means—no matter
by wbat means. Tne whole object of Com
gressional legislation was apparent. It was
all intended to radicalize the South, and the
party in power here have amnesty, and par
don, and welcome for auy man who embraces
radicalism, no matter what bis pa it conduct
or past acts may have been, or bow deeply
and darkly his bands had been imbued in
treasou. Those who accepted radical views
were pardoned oy wholesale.
Paiue and Bingham advocated the bill.

Alabama from the bill, which was lost by a
vote of GO to 74 Stevens’ amendment in refer

States shall never be amended or changed so
as to discriminate in favor of or against any
citizen or class of citizens of the United
States in reference to the right to vote,
who are now entitled to vote by said
Constitutions, was adopted with a division
An amendment that all citizens of the
United States in those Slates shall be ad
mitted to equal rights of suffrage was re
jected without a division.
The bill was then passed by a vote of 108
to 35.
Tbe House then adjourned.
The three sick Senators are improving, but
are still confined to their rooms.
The Impeachment Managers are in session
to-day, examining parties. Neither tbe ob
