Corn Erchange.-The flour trade was through

to 5000 bills. at 1875 for Eastern markets.
On Saturday, however. Western was frmeT. and
very few if any would sell at less than s.
Southern Of common sorts was heavy at so,
g. several sales were made at fraction less; 500
bbls Richmond city were sold at IL; no West
EN- wheat came in; a cargo of \. River sold on
Saturday at lls cts. and one of Virginia at | 10
cts Barley went up to 1874 cents sales and
the holders still looking higher. Rye Flour
quick at 62s.
The Money Markets. The pressure on the
Money Market remains abou, the same. The
rate of per CT per an. is freely offered on prime
paper. The news of slight advance in the price
of dollars at London, where a decline was ap-
pretended will have tendency to increase the
shipments Of specie. The state Of the money
market affects in some degree the prices Of those
articles usually sold for cash.

calamity, even if unsuccessful It is certain ly better so, than to have resumed the old system, or adopted one from which it would be more difficult to recede. Our own pre- terence We confess, was to have tried the County Courts for one year, which now do- ilg three fourths of the business, might pos sbly have been found competent for the re- malnder, and thus dispense with the interme- diate tribunals altogether. This idea was gaming ground 1pace, and we are not sure but 1t had no small influence in driving matters to composition.
 The subject has been handled in both Houses, and in the conference, with an ability worthy of the best days of the Common wealth. The speeches of Messrs Leigh and Morris, in behalf of the plan of the House of Delegates, and of Mir J. Y. Masen, who re- piled more part cul srly to MT Leigh. on be- half of that of the Sen lte, will we hope be lald before the pubic by those gentlemen, as embracing all that is necessary to enable it to torm an enl ightened opnon on the merits of the controversy between the two Houses

/ zuont De q .Wun.-There has been no little excitement in this community within few days past, arising from the recent eiohement of q principal Nun ( Sister Gertrude from the Nunnery in Georgetown. This event oc- cured on Thursday last. Sister Gertrude was the chief instructress of the academy Tn tbe institution, and upon whom it's prosperity chiefly depended.

To the Hon. JOIN MURPHY: Your na,ne ha, ing been announced as a candidate to represent this District in the next Congress, you will not take it as mark of dsrespect to be called upon 10 ayow your sentiments in regard to a few points of leading interest to the people of the Dis trict. It is deemed important by many in ts gnar- ter who predisposed to favor your Election thai your views should be distinctly known in relation to the following questions. viz:-
 Do you believe in the Constutionality of appro- priaons by the Federal Government for purposes of NatiOnat fnfernat Improvement and are you in favor especially of an appropriation of the Public Lands by Congress for the purpose of opening the communication between the Tennessee and Ala balna Rivers, whether by Rail Road or Canal, as may after full investigation be deemed the most advisable?
 Are you opposed to the Notification doctrines ad vocated by the leading politicians of South Caro- nal
 Are you in favor of the leading measures of the present administration of the General Government and you in favor of the reelection of present Chief Magistrate of the Nation Although your support of General Jackson has been we'll know to the public, yet recent events and indications at Washington will naturally suggest the propriety of this question and will furnish sufficient apology for propounding it.
 Should the above interrogatories be answered ss- tisfactorily, as we doubt not they wil you may be assured of the warm support of

t3sgEzgE z 7 GLOBE.

| Nv RANGES PRESTON BLAIR contin- ucs to publish, in Washington City, a Newspaper entitled THE GLOBE, which has now been established about three months.- It's present subscription which is rapidly in- crcasing, ensures its permanent existence.
 It will be devcted,as it has heretofore been, to the dlscussion and maintenance of the prn- ciples "wh;ch brought General Jackscn into office :" which have been asserted in his se- veral Messages t' Congress, and sustained by the curse of his administration. As means | of giving permanent effect to those principles, the Gl be will continue to advocate the clec- tion of the President for second term. His nomination fer reelection by the Republicans through -ut the Union, leave no d ubt of the desire of the people, that he sh l follow in the footsteps If Washington and Jefferson, by serving in the Chief Magistracy eight years.
 The Globe will n supp Tt or countenance any nrrgues CT C. hais, Ing reference to the success IFS of General Jackson. On the c ntiary 1t wall dcnnunce and expose all men and the.r acts, who nay seek by selfish in {. trgues, with view to future aggrandizement, to embarrass the administration, defeat the eff rtsof the President to promote the public good, and SOW sc lrd and d ascension in the republican party. It will hold no alliance with these who cannot postpone their personal prerenslons to the interests of their country.
 The interest of the American pubic is ne- cessarly great in the p ,litical affairs of Eu- rope at this evcntful crisis Arrangements will be completed, as early as possible, to se- cure for the Globe the means of giving the earliest information from that continent.
 It is intended, also, to give the Globe lite rary and miscellaneous character. Selections from periodicals of the highest reputation will adorn it's columns, to gratify the general reader; while, as a vehicle of information in in relation to manufactures, agriculture, com merce, and the arts, it will be made subservi- ent to the useful pursuits of the country.
 An ardent desire has been expressed to us by the friends of the President, that the Globe shall be made at once daily paper. Their wishes shall be promptly met, if they give us promise of support. Let them back their wishes with actual efforts in obtaining subscri- bers, and The Globe shall be a daily paper in one month With that view, the Editor offers this paper to the public. 4
 Arrangements will be made to give a cor rect report of the proceedings of Congress, at the next sesslcn.
 MS:
 The Globe will be printed on large impe- rial sheet. The price of the Daily paper will be Ten Dollars per annum; for shorter periods it will be One Dollar per month- The price of the Semi-weekty paper will be Five Dollars per annum; Three Dollars for months. The price of the Weekly paper will be Two Dollars and Fifty Cents. .AH Sub Scriptions must De haid in aduGnce. t

In the editorial controversy between our brethren at Huntsville, which has been same- times more bitter than would seem 10 impar- tlal observes to be necessary or expedient, We perceive that one of them has recently re- tered to casual remark said to have been made by the other in private conversatien.- Now, without intending to interfere with the,r disputes, or to take part with either against the ether, we beg leave respectfully tn sug- gest, that the most improved modern tactics ct editorial warfare regard as sacred and in- vlolable the private intercourse of the ndi- Vidnal, and confne the measures of hostility to the hNld of public and official action. IL is the paper and not the man, that is considered as assail4be. A generous and magnanmou, toe should scon to fullow his adversary into the retirement of personal intercourse, or to
 ntr' de into the sanctity of private friendly converse. Such attacks lead to the necessa- ry lntroducton--by way of explanation and dcfcnce-of facts and circumstances never in- tended, and often very improper, to be pre- scented befo e the public eye An editor s,ne
 ly has enough to do in guarding and watching hls editorial Course. Let him at least have the privilege of other citizens of enjoying, in security and peace, his private. intercourse with hs family and friends. s.-.Nat Banner.

WEDNESDAY, MAY I, 1881.

We learn that the Washington City Globe of the 20th April, has been received in town, which con- tains the resignatons of four of President Jackson's Cabinet Offices. Between the 9th and 18th of last month, it seems that the Secretary of War, of the Navy the Treasury and lastly, of State, all rendered their resgnations to the President the latter stating his reasons briefly, for doing so. We have not seen the paper which contains this surprising intelligence but are informed that the resignatons are accom- panied with no comments, whatever.

In NewOrleans, great preparations, were making by the city authorities, to open the Lake Ponchar- train Rail Road on the ist last.
 The many advantages which Rail Road will have, over the tedious and vexatious method of drag ging small craft, through the winding and putrd Wal ters of the St Johns will be apparent to every one who visits the city from the lake. The extraordna- ry speed of Rail Road cars vill enable persons to pass over, in few minutes, the mirry neck of land between the two places at triaing expense, and without inconvenience.

The news received here some days since from Charleston, of the fall of Warsaw turns out to be untrue.
 Accounts from Poland up to the 10th of March, represent much hard fighting to have taken place with the advance of the Russian army, under the commander in chief with the enthusiastic Poles For the number engaged, the slaughter was great on both sides; but douby so, on the part of the Rus sians. The harded fighting was within few miles of Warsaw, and witnessed by thousands of persons from the roofs of buses and other elevated places in the City, with al anxiety for the fate of their countrymen and relations, similar to what the in- habitants of BostoI must have felt, when Charles town set on fire by the British to aid in their assault upon Bunke's Hill
