Our New York Correspondence.
New York, July 5.
The reassembling of Congress has, in
spite of a great effort to forestall its action,
plunged political affairs into chaos. It is al 1
very well for Mr. Fessenden to declare that
only certain business must be transacted at
this session. The action respecting the
members of Congress from Kentucky is a
more accurate indication of the Radical
temper than anything Mr. Fessenden may
say. At such a time as this, astheexpe
rlence of the past year abundantly proves,
attempts to smother the flames of passion
are not unlikely to add to their fury. We
await developments, and while doing so
gladly pass to other themes.
THE NEW VOHK PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
All the world that takes any interest in
such matters, understands that New York
is a great commercial emporium, but few,
even among its own inhabitants, realize the
fact that it is probably the greatest general
market in the world. There are other mar
kets which an; greater in specialities. New
Orleans and Liverpool are greater in cotton;
Hamburg in tobacco; Australia in certain
sorts of metals; London in East India
goods, oils, drugs, dyes, &c. Hut in the
grand aggregate of wholesale business New
York has no rival—if equalled is not
surpassed. Tin; late war has materially
strengthened New York, at the expense of
New Orleans, in those important staples,
cotton and tobacco. New Orleans still docs
more in cotton than New York, but the dis
proportion is not so great as formerly, and
New York now has more control overprices
than New Orleans.
Rut my purpose in introducing this sub
ject was to speak more particular!}' of the
New York Produce Exchange—leaving
other matters having this relation to future
occasions. It is on the Produce Exchange
that the business in Hour, grain, provit
ions, tallow and whisky—the leading West
ern products—is transacted ; and where, in
ordinary seasons, the market prices for all
these staples afe, more or less, controlled.
The association known as the New York
Produce Exchange is composed of about
twelve hundred members. They meet dni-
ly at a substantial building that has been
erected for their accomodation, on the
block bounded by Whitehall, Pearl, Moore
and Water streets—covering a space of
about sixteen thousand square feet. It; is
built of brick and trimmed with brown
stone. It is divided into two floors, con
nected with spacious staircases. The up
per part is ornamented with arabesques,
while the lower part, which was originally
arranged for offices, is now finished in
panels, with gay colorings. On the whole,
the eifect of the interior is agreeable to the
eye, while its ventillation is at all times
complete. It is well warmed in winter
with steam. To be a little more precise
respecting its location, as is necessary to
an understanding of its advantages, it may
be stated that Whitehall is a short street,
running from Bowling Green —the South
ern terminus of Broadway—-to the White
hall Landing, immediately adjoining the
east side of the Battery. It may be seen
on the map as the NeW York terminus of
the Atlantic ferry to Brooklyn. It was
from Whitehall Landing that Washington
took leave of his officers on proceeding to
Annapolis to resign his commission; and
the aspect of the whole place since that
event lias undergone lens change than any
other part of New York. It will thus be
seen that the Produce Exchange is situated
oil the extreme southern point of Manhat
tan island, the reasons lor which will pre
sently appear.
Let us enter from Whitehall. We shall
first encounter the Janitor, to whom the
visitor is introduced. If more than a
casual visit is intended, his name will be
entered in a book, together with that of the
person introducing him, and tlm visitor re
ceives a card which will admit him for
one week. High change is at noon, and as
we enter we encounter a very Babel of
voices, which is exceedingly bewildering to
one not accustomed to it. But there is no
outcry—all conversation is in the ordinary
tone; and while the hum of voices is ever
heard, it does not prevent people convers
ing in a very low tone, if they so desire.
The acoustic arrangements are such that it
is impossible to make the loudest declama
tion heard more than twenty feet. -
As we enter we see at the right a plain
table, about three feet wide and twenty leet
long on it are deposited small blue boxes.
If we approach we shall find these boxes
contain samples of l lie lard and tallow which
are that day ottered for sale. We shall also
see, perhaps, small vials, containing sam
ples of oils that have been pressed from lard
and tallow. Around the table are standing a
score or more gentlemen. They seem to be
engaged at nothing in particular. Once in
a while, a sample will be taken from the
table, looked at under various shadings,
smelled, perhaps lasted then more conversa
tion ; perhaps a nod or a shake of the head,
and the sample is closed and placed one
side, or returned to the table. This sort of
thing scarce lasts half an hour, and yet
here are sold an average of two hundred
thousand pounds of lard and a hundred'
thousand pounds of tallow daily. On oc
casions a million pounds of lard and half a
million pounds of tallow have been sold in
a very few minutes. To the left of the
White Hall entrance is what is called the
“ Pork floor,” where the immense sales <>l
pork are mostly made (though the brokers
in this trade have an exchange of their
own). On this floor we shall find more
noise than any where else in the produce
exchange. Mess pork is sold by inspection;
and this circumstance makes it a. highly
speculative article. It. is as much so as
gold or Eric railway shares. The regular,
legitimate business in pork for New York
and shipment hence is about eight
hundred barrels daily, but the daily sales
range from three to eight thousand barrels.
The overplus is speculation.
While in this quarter we shall hear one
call out, “I’.ll give twenty-one for a thousand,
regular.” “ I’ll sell two hundred at twenty
one, cash.” “ I’ll, sell five hundred, regular.
What’s bid V” The Federal War Depart
ment has tested the capacity of this Pork
market, to the utmost, at times. On one oc
casion the Commissary General advertised
for tenders to supply five thousand barrels;
as usual in such cases, tenders for five times
that quantity were offered, and lie took the
whole; giving the contractors such a shak
ing up as they did not soon forget. In this
part of the Exchange are also sold the ba
con, shoulders, hams and dressed hogs that
come upon this market. This part of the
business is conducted as quietly and closely
as the other is noisily, and, except dressed
hogs, the quotations are not usually as cer
tain and leading in their character, except
when there is an active export demand for
bacon. We shall find in close proximity of
fices of the leading lines of telegraph, and
communication is constantly going on be
tween tin's and Western markets.
Ascending to the upper floor we shall
find ourselves ill a labyrinth of tables, cov
ered with samples lit' flour, contained like
the lard and tallow, ip small blue boxes
(the boxes are blue beeS-Usa that color is
the best contrast to the while). Around
these tables there is always more or less
activity. The attendants are welting up
the flour in order to better bring out its
qualities of strength, sweetness or white
ness. There is such a vast variety of flour
coming upon this market that a few city
N aud St. Louis brands, witli some of the low
er grades of State and Western brands,
which, having an established reputation,
are ordered by a certain class of customers.
But it often happens, in a dull market, that
flour less known but just as good as these
favorite brands, will sell half a dollar and
even a dollar a barrel cheaper; then our
city bakers, who are good judges of flour,
are enabled to pick up bargains which oth
er buyers pass by. In the character which
the flour trade of New York is now assum
ing, the inducements to work up and main
tain the reputation of a brand are greatly
increased —the demand being mostly from
the regular trade and shipping dealers. We
look less that uncertain business which
comes to us from Liverpool. The flour ta
bles occupy fully one-half of the upper
floor. But on one side we shall find a table
covered with samples of wheat. The buy
will appear carefully examining and
testing the color of the wheat—they will
scrutinize the formation and perfection of
the berry—its condition as respects dryness,
sweetness and freedom from rust is careful
ly tested. Passing a little further on we
find a table covered with samples of corn,
another with oats, another with barley, an
other with various sorts of “ feed ” —around
all of which there are throngs more or less
busy.
The business of New York In flour and
grain is very variable. There have l>een
sales in one day of about forty thousand
barrels of flour and more than a million
bushels of grain; but the average is rather
less than oue-fourth as much.
The Exchange is attened by the owners
or agents of tlie shipping in the harbor, and
by many dealers in bills, so that a person
buying for shipment can engage his freight
and sell his bills at the same time that he
buys his goods. Hard by the Produce Ex
change are the twelve piers in the East
river, which with their bulkheads have been
designated by the law of the State as Re
place for mooring the canal boats and
barges, and other small craft, which arrive
down the Hudson and through the New
Jersey canals. In these nearly the whole of
the deliveries of flour and grain to this mar
ket are made; and they make up GG per cent,
of its entire tonnage. If a buyer desire to
examine a cargo of grain more closely than
by sample, a few minutes’ walk will bring
him to it. The harbor is filled with small
i steam tugs and steam elevators, by which
the transfer of a purchase is quickly and
, cheaply effected. If it be winter the grain
‘ will probably be stored at the Atlantic
1 docks, or afloat in its basin. If so, a very
short walk will take us to the Hamilton
r avenue ferry, whose boats will land us in
; immediate proximity to the docks. r l lie
i stocks of breadsttitls on the first of January
l last were seven hundred thousand barrels
-of flour and fourteen millions bushels of
* grain—a fact that proclaims of itself the
immense extent of this branch of business,
and when taken in connection with the bu
s siness in provisions, will, I trust, excuse to
, the reader this imperfect sketch of the man
i ner and place of conducting it.
MINOR MATTERS.
The weather has become exceedingly
warm, and vegetation is coming forward
with extraordinary rapidity. The “ Glori
, ous Fourth” was celebrated yesterday with
. great unanimity. The military display was
quite good—one of the bcMt pyep made in
' this city. We have, of course, tlje usual
chapter of accidents, but it is greatly short
ened by it prohibition from the police of the
practice of discharging lire arms in the
streets. A large number flf youngsters
passed their “ fourth” in the Station House,
greatly to their disgust, lmt most agreeably
to less ardent natures.
There is another pub-bub in newspaper
dom, which promises great,er results than
Craig’s “rebellion.” Th c Herald proposes
, to withdraw from t)ic Associated Press.—
We have two new evening dailies—issued
. at one cent..per copy. One i* the old liaili/
’ News, reduced in size, and the other is ap
parently issued from the Herald office. They
have an immense sale, to the injury of some
of the more costly dailies.

Editor Constitutionalist: My communica
* tion shall be short. I propose to give your
1 readers son>.e qf tpp fruits growing out of
* Radicalism in our midst. Qfl Friday last,
> a few miles outside of corporate limits, t>yo
of the members (black,) of the Black Repub
. Mean Union League were ordered otf a farm
* for gathering blackberries inside of inclo
■ sure. One of the party replied to the gen
i tlcman if he did not hush he would kill
1 him. Upon this threat lie made for his
1 dwelling, armed himself and returned, with
* one or two others to assist. They made a
1 second appearance, but showed l)ttlc fight,
» and left. On Sunday morning, about 8
1 o’clock, nine returned, eight of them armed
witli muskets. The ninth one, with a
r sword, passed the first door, yelling all
! manner of oaths, seeking a renewal of pre
-1 vious difficulty. The gentleman, waiting
■ for tig; attack, kept quiet and said nothing.
* They passed .on tq tpe railroad and, return
ing towards the city, fired off their guns.
* No one hurt. These arc the facts, related

1 party owning the farm
! No comment necessary by the jyritcr. I
3 will only add that ft is now becoming duu
- gerous for one to leave Jiis family in the

\ subject to all sorts of insults, and no one to

’ You arc aware of the fact that wc have

Horace Greeley ami Jeff. Dayis’ Bail.
They have had Horace Greeley before the
Smelling Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives at Washington, to find out why
lie went upon Mr. Davis’ ball. By this they
have not made much if any thing. Mr.
Greeley stated explicitly tjjat lie was never
asked by the President or by Government
officers to act in the matter. Tiie following
conversation then eusued:
Q. Did any one, after it was known that
von proposed to go bail for Mr. Davis, ap
ply to you not to do so, or write to you
about it ?
A. Well, sir, there was a hubbub at the
time I was here, and Senator Wade ami
Senator Chandler talked with me about it.
1 think Senator Cresswell, of Maryland,
was also present. I do not recollect any
other person.
Q, On what ground did they urge you
not to go bail for Jett’. Davis ?
A. There was a conversation of half an
hour between us on Hie subject. I can not
state definitely what particular reasons they
urged. They thought it would be bail
policy, and that it would have a bad in
fluence.
Q. That it would have a bad effect on the
Republican party?
A. I believe so. That was the impres
sion I had.
Q. Were there any other persons endea
voring to prevent you going bail fqr Jeffer
son Davis?.
A- Ido not recollect. There may have
been one or two personal friends doing so,
although it was not generally known that
I intended to go his bail,
Q. Did they put their objection on party
grounds alone?
A. Generally.
Q. There was no principle involved in it?
A. Ido not recollect. They made no im
pression on me, other than it would be in
jurious to the party.
Q. Did you tell them that it was a party
question to bail Jeff. Davis, lie having been
Imprisoned so long ?
A. No, sir. In the first place I was de
sirous to bring on the trial. The first year
I thought we could compel tiie Government
to bring the prisoner to trial by a writ of
hahcfut corpm*. Finally I thought the time
for a trial to any good purpose had passed.
Q. Did you go bail for Jefferson Davis
with a view of having him tried?
A. No: I wished to have him tried if tiie
Government should ever wish to try him.
Q. I understand you as saying that you
thought the time for trying him to any good
pur)>ose had passed away.
A. That was my judgment.
Q, ]s that your opinion now?
A. Ygs, so far as I know the facts. If
lie had anything tq t)p with assassinating
President Lincoln, or poisoning pr starving
prisoners, I wish him tp pe tried. Idq qqt
know any fiicts that justify either charge.
Q- You know of no facts on tiie subject
of his connection with tig; assassination of
President Lincoln?
A. No, sir, none that would connect him
with it.
So it appears that the only objection that
Wade, Chandler & Co. had against the bail
ing of Mr. Davis was, that it might have q
bad effect upon the Republican party !
This was the only light they viewed it in.
An act of national injustice was to continue
to lie perpetuated, otherwise Jfc might injure
the Republican party! What high grounds
for a statesman to assume 1
tome. English farmers Deed each head of stock
from a pint to a quart of molasses a day. It is
diluted with water and spriukled op hay, which
is packed and left to ferment twelve hours.
Tiie cattle like it as well as children do sweet I
cake.

Wendell Phillips on the Fourth of Ji Jy.
Independence day! The ninety-sec X , lK [
of those held famous. Nearly a-Tec ,tury
since the nation stood up among iti < fel
lows. How have we used that cen' fury y
Like a just emancipated boy, intox Jcated
with freedom and strength, a t ob
stacles, careless how much evil he does or
how much sin he commits. Onßy within
half a dozen years have we soberer’ i down to
a serious effort to fulfill the gr eat pledge
that, under our rule, all men s mall be free
and equal.
Could we limit this pledg' *to men, pro
bably tlie century will not, close without
its being accomplished; Put its essence*
and true meaning include, both sej;es, and
we shall never la; able to bind the great
Declaration, like a frontlet, on ur,blushing
brows while woman is disfranchised. We
get manhood equality and representative
government from tlie Church.; woman’s
equality in political life—lievself mail’s fol
low and comrade there —we. ought to have
brought from those Gerinuji woods whence
we issued on our way t.o world-wide em
pire. Feudalism stamped out this custom
under its mailed heel; and, following this
iron rule, a civilization brought from the
Mediterranean—Roman, Greek and Jew
ish—seemed to bury oht of sight forever
this just and wholesome law. But the vi
tality of our race and blood outlive all im
ported customs. Slowly, through feudal
mail and the debasing, one-haif-ness of
Oriental civilization, crops out again the
old German habit—woman, man’s fellow
and comrade, everywhere. After six gen
erations and 4,(XX) miles distant from the
cradle, the old features reappear. Many
years will not elapse before another visitor
may record, as Cicsar did, that “on all
grave matters they take counsel witli wo
men.” Then July 4 may be hailed for Lib
erty Day as truly as Independence Day,
and no thoughtful man will peed, as now,
to hang his head when the great Declara
tion is read on this anuiversqry.
But this Fourth day of July will lx* re
nowned above its fellows. To-day assem
bles the Great Council of the Nation, in ex
tra session, to see “ that the Republic re
ceives no harm.” Let us hope they will in
augurate suph a policy as will reassure all
men. Break up the landed aristocracy of
Rebeldom, and create millions of small
holdings—tlie only sufficient basis of the
ballot-box* Timid men fbar this will exas
perate the rebels. They hate us as bitterly
as they can already. Nothing we do can
increase this hate. The mothers are teach
ing their children to hate us. Nothing we
can do >y'dl give this hate longer life than
such teachings insure. Confiscation does
not increase such hate. Confiscation only
disarms it. If you cannot convert your
enemy, it is wise to take away liis arms.
This confiscation docs.
Sweep qut qf the way, hy express declara
tion and enactment, all these shams and
spectjjcs of pretended State Governments.
Increase, if necessary, the military force
at tlie South. Let no village, however, ob
scure, lx able to escape its all-present con
trol.
Propose such amendments to the Federal
Constitution as shall render needless this
vigilant supervision qf> gild vexatious in
terference with, State laws relating to the
negro race.
By appropriate claims, cut down State
sovereignty to such small dimensions as
shall leave no ground for race hatred and
class legislation to stand upon.
All these pleasures are need in order that
wholesome laws may have free course to
run. But the break-water against which
Congressional action beats in vain is not
the South. Dismayed, although embitter
ed, the South left to itself would be on its
knees. The traitor in the White House is
the nation’s obstacle and the rebel’s hope.
Unless Congress deliberately intends to
waste the next two years', and risk defeat In
1868, it will impeach and remove the in
veterate and besotted rebel, and relieve us
from the incubus of him and his Cabinet. —
Wc venture the assertion Unit leading men
in the Republican party see the necessity of
this, and if they refuse to do it, the sole
reason will be fear of harm to that party—
a fear which no evidence justifies—a risk
trifling beyond adequate description, unless
their conduct makes it otherwise;
Os course, we do not mean that you can
safely impeach or successfully resist the
President if the nation is to follow the sad
and, disgraceful example of Massachusetts.
What a'chap'tcr of absurdities! An institu
tion—Freemasonry—illegal in
settn—its very existence a lip—invites a
member’s presence at its unholy rites. —
What right has the Governor of Jilassachu
settsto add dignity to such scenes?
Yet State officials and city officials crowd
to give importance to the occasion. A
Federal Spqator :>dds his indorsement. The
President of Ijarvarc) GqJieye, pf course,
appears. The chief of the clergy (whereso
ever tiie carcass is, there will the “ vul
tures” be gathered together) contribute their
support. Think of Seward, the first stone
of whose fame was the profession of Anti-
Masonry, sharing in such a journey!
T know the excuse—the office, as Shaks
peare tells us, even “ q dog’s obeyed in of
fice.” I scoff the excuse. IV hen the Presi
dent travels, as President, magistrates may
be bound in etiquette, to notice him. But
even then I commend to Senators and Gov
ernors the high-toned orders of Secretary
Welles. Alas ! that they fall beneath even
his standard! Waiving this, I contend that
when Andrew Johnson (not the President)
travels as a Free Mason, to be present at
illegal rites in Massachusetts, there is no’
need or pretence of excuse for magistrates
to notice him. When these lpeti wake up to
find how much added obstinacy Andrew
Johnson has carried home from this occa
sion and how much popular opposion to him
lias been dulled by such a Massachsetts wel
come, they will recognize their folly and
their sin.
Men talk of an extra session to last only
a few days —just to stop the leak Stanbery
has made iu the Military Bill and then ad
journ. That he may make another flaw and
thus necessitate another sessiou, 1 sup
pose? Some hundred years ago Boston
made a by-law that no negro should walk
the streets at night without a lantern. All
negroes carried lanterns, empty. The fathers
met again and enacted that the lanters
should have candles. They did thenceforth,
but not lighted. Agqin the fathers met and
ordered lanterns with lighted candles; and
so accomplished their intent—a story of
legal evasion not wholly unlike one the
Spectator records.
Does Congress mean to follow this ex
ample, meeting as often as one flaw is in
vented ; adjourning when it is remedied, to
wait for another attack on its legislation,
and so drawl on ? While enemies construe
and execute its laws Congress cannot safely
adjourn. No need to increase oqr army at
the South if only Congress will remain in
session. While Johnson holds the White
House, Congress must encamp in the Capi
tol. Members may be mustered out, or
have leave of absence when the White House
surrenders or is cleansed. Not until then.

Cuoleua Remedy.—After testing it for fif

Laudanum, 2 oz; spirits of camphor 2 oz.;

1 oz.; essence of peppermint, 2 oz.; Hoffman’s

quantity.
Mix thoroughly and shake well every time it
is used. Give or take from ten to twenty-five
drops, according to ago, condition, or violence
of attack. Repeat every twenty minutes till
relief is obtained. In a desperate case take a

REMARKS.
Hi nee mir last report, t'.ere has been a slight revival
of trade in alt departments of business, save, perhaps,
in cotton, which has been fitful; but doses to-day with
a decline of at least le. from quotations of the 29th ult.
The Liverpool market is depressed In a great measure
on account of the belief in a very large crop for the
current year, in America, to say nothing of the pro
spects elsewhere.
Our Liverpool'telegram yesterday, announced Urn
sales of Ihe week, 30,000, whereof 13,000 were for ex
port and speculation; stock, 73t?'uoO; 386,000 are
American.
Owing to the holiday we are without our domestic
statement of exports, receipts and stocks on hand, ex
cept as to New Orleans; which reports, receipts for the
week. 2,156; exports for the week, 7,954 hales; stock
56,107 hales.
On Saturday last, in our market, 145 hales were sold;
tlic receipts were only 3 bales.
Monday.—The sales were 59 bales aud the receints
28 hales. ’
Tuusday.—Sales 192, and receipts 2 bales.
WSDNKSDAV—Eight I tales were sold and 3 received.
rnuRSDAv.— I'hc fourth—nothing was done.
J'HIUAY.—One hundred and twelve bales were sold
wd iioiu* receive.l.
Total sales of the Week, 515.
Total receipts, 36 bales.
Ihe market is heavy at the following quotations :

Led and stained nominal.:
Okookkiss. There is no change, except in bread
stuff's. By reference to our quotations it will be seen
there is a decline of fl.oo per barrel on flour, and ad-
in meal of 5(5)10 cent., consequent upon the
demand for corn.
Cohn is quoted up at least lo cents. Receipts have
beeu very light for the week, and the demand cannot
be supplied.
Dhy Good are a little more active. Domestics
are Arm at unchanged quotations and the demand is
very g.iod.
Os the dry goods market, in New York, a circular
remarks under date of the second:
I lie dry goods market is rather more encouraging
to-day to all holders of goods. The recent accounts of
damage to crops has proved much exaggerated, and
they are now considered safe beyond any possible con
tingency. Stocks in the country are believed to be
small, as well as light in the hands of agents and job
bers, and prices are consequently firmly held.
No new styles of goods are yet offered, hut fall styles
ol piints will he oil the market in a few days, mean
while a lair business is doing by order and for the home
trade.
Woolen goods show an improving tone.
Foreign goods are dull and the business is quite ttn
imporant, although importers seem to lie expecting an
early opening of fall trade.
FINANCIAL.
Our city lias been unchanged and quiet during the
past week, hut little money seeking investments, and
hut little doing in bonds and stocks. Sales of Georgia
Railroad Btock during the week at 72 cents; Old State
Six per cent, bonds, at 70(h)72; New State Seven per
cent, bonds, at 81; Macon A Augusta Railroad bonds,
guaranteed by the Georgia Railroad and Charleston
Railroad, at 87, except coupons of July.
Gold and Silver.—Gold lias improved during the
week, and Brokers selling 138>f, and paying 137};.
Silver unchanged, buying at 128 and selling at 132.
Exchange.—The National Bank checks freely r.t
par on all Northern cities, and ont door rates, % to
off. —No time hills offering.

Ootton Statement from Norton, Slaughter
& Oo.’s Monthly Circular.
Nidv York, July 1,1807.
Colton —There lias been hut little fluctuation
in priees during the month. In our last circu
lar we expressed the belief that, some improve
ment in prices might gradually ensue during
the summer, Imt the. time for such improvement
has not yet arrived. We based our belief ou
the facts then stated, showing that the pros
pects of another crop were not encouraging.—
Siuce then we have from time to time received
more favorable advices from the cotton Slates.
Reduced to the necessity of renewed efforts to
meet the moneyed exigencies ol the next tall
ami winter, and fortified by the very flattering
promise of an abundant grain harvest in the
Middle and Southern States, the cotton plant
ers have put forth fresh energy towards the
care and cultivation of the great staple. The
recent gentle rains which have, prevailed in the
cotton States have been most beneficial tothe
young plants, and given the planters an excel
lent stand generally thougliout the South. With
codlimicd favorable seasons.there is no reason to
doubt that the crop of 1867 will be a more libe
ral one than was anticipated rt month ago Un
der the weight ol large stocks in Liverpool
and these favorable accounts from America’
together with the generally dull trade at Man’
Chester, the English markets have, like ours
remained very quiet and easy all the month!
and have slightly hut gradually receded from
♦be openmg rales. The spinners of the coun
try have maintained a marked indifference in
regard to purchasing for the same reason, and
tins demand has been farther curtailed by the
suspension of active operations by many of the
cotton mills of tlie North. This, of itself,
would have more seriously depressed our mar
ket, hut for the inducements offered to ship
pers by a strong and steady foreign exchange
market all tlie month, a sound and even gold
market, and tho lair rates of outward freights.
Os these advantages they have freely availed
themselves, and exports imye been liberal all
the month at a small visible margin. The re
ceipts at American ports have continued to de
crease gradually, but this has bad little or no
effect on prices, in view of the better prospects
if anotfier crop. Our slocks are also some
what reduced since our last, but as a large pro
portion of these is ol low grade and in light
lemnnd, it has been impossible to maintain the
ipening priees of the month. ,
There Is still a possibility that prices may irn
troye to some extent during the summer, but
he probabilities are not, in our opinion, snfli- 1
-iently strong to justify holders in refusing 1
uling prices, The long period which must in- 1
terveuc before the gathering of the present
Year’s orop dnrhig which many evils may be,
fall the plant, is too uncertain to be relied ori
even«kmong the most hopeful; and no doubt
(as lias ever been and ever will be the ease)
reports of real or imaginary calamities will be
often circulated between this and the gathering
season, tending to “short crop” estimates.
Lhis may have the desirable effect alluded to
above ; but on the other hand, yet more favor
able reports as lo tlie crop prospects may have
the contrary effect. J

during the month, with a steady and liberal cx-

without change until the past tew days, during
which a slight weakness has been manifested—
the closing q notations showing a slight decline.
The home trade has been comparatively light
as was the ease in May, and manufacturers have’
been rather sparing in (heir purchases. Since
our last report accounts from the West have
Uen more favorable as regards the planting,
especially in Kentucky, Tennessee and Vir
ginia, while reports from Missouri are not 80

Suicide.—lt is an every day occurence to see,
not to read, in *>ur Northern and Western ex
changes long accounts of betrayed nftertions,
despair, and suicides, and we have often thrown
such papers aside, thanking Cod that we were
not called on to record such as a part of tho
current history of events in our community.
But such painful duty is ours now :
Monday morning, about eight o’clock, po
liceman Patrick O'Connell, while standing near
the foot of Jackson street, on the river bank,
observed a young woman whose excited man
ner attracted his attention. Turniug to look in
another direction for a moment, he heard the
plash of water. Hastening to the wharf, he
help Id the girl in the river, and immediately
plunged in and rescued her from a watery
grave. When brought to the shore, she was
insensible, but soon began to evince signs of
returning lile. It was soon evident that the uu
fortuunte child—for she was hut little over fif
teen years of age was under the influence Os
some opiate. Site, was removed to the City
Hospital, but. expired in a few hours.
An inquest was held by Coroner Rhodes, and
from the testimony elicited the jury concluded
that the deceased came to her death from poi
son, taken voluntarily.
It appears that the girl, whose name is Emma
C. Moore, is an orphan, and was living with a
married sister, in the lower part of the city, ou
Tellair street.. On Sunday night she had a
quarrel with her lover, and, as we learn, sh»
told hint then he would never see her again.
We further learn that the lover, whose uurne is
r given as Smith, requested her sister to
look after Emma.
Nothing Du liter is certainly known, but
there is a minor I hat. her epitaph might read:
. “ Culled ere thy beauty live* through half its day ;
A moment cherished, and then cast away.”
if this is true, we have no heart for the de
' tails and would not consent to lay them before
. our readers. It could only he the same-old
story -betrayed by the sex that should protect,
ami despised by her own, that should pity, she
seeks relief in death.
Hakmonik Vkicein.—IThe 1 The members of this
musical society, who visited Chattanooga and
Lookout Mountain, ou the fourth and fifth in
stant, returned Mouday morning;, highly
pleased with the trip. They were treated with,
marked attention en route and in Chattanooga,
and (we learn from an outsider,) they took the
palm in the. matter of singing, which lact does
not surpriseus in the least, acquainted as we
are with tho attainments of the delegation,
and the skill and untiring industry of the
leader, Prof. John Weigand. The Atlanta
Intelligencer, of Sunday, says:
“A jolly party of gentlemen, about twenty
in number, belonging to the Harmonic VcrciD,
of Augusta, reached the city yesterday, om
their return trip horn Lookout Mountain,
whither they went on a flying visit to spend the
Fourth of .July. The Hurmonie Verein is a
vocal musical organization existing among
the German residents of our sister city, Augus
ta, of which C. Hunekon, Esq., who accompa
nies the above party, is President. We trust
their brief sojourn in our city may be fraught
with pleasure, as we have no doubt it will he,
since our German fellow-citizens so well un
derstand the welcome due to their brothers of
the “ Fatherland.” The visitors leave for home,
on this nllcrnoou’s (rain.”
