From the Compiler.
FLOUR AND WHEAT,

The sudden fall of Flour and Wheat in tho
markets, is considerable misfortune for the far
mer, In whose hands nearly all the wheat yet re-
mains. We see no reason for them to hope that
wheat Will yet command better price than at
present. If the English crop croakers should get
up a considerable alarm, as often as they have
cried 'Wolf, Wolff" il will have its effect upon
our market. The propensity TO speculate makes
men ever ready to seize upon chance, although
1t may be as hundred to one against them and
as often as the false croaking about the English
crops--the most unfai!ing in the world-has de-
ceiveC there are still plenty that are ever ready
te DO deceived again. This, then, might bolster
up for time the prices of wheat; but nothing
else that we can anticipate will. Indeed, what
ever be the condition Of the market, when the
Northwestern crop begins to come, that crop will
force il down lower.
The New York Express Of Saturday says:--
"Fiour still continues to fall, and is now down to
So, 25, decline of Is cents within few DAYS.
This sudden fall is owing to the appearance OF
new flour from Ohio, and the prospect of great
supply.
The fall Of Flour Of nearly dollar on a
barrel on tho present low prices in this market,
within week past, is very important item in
the value OF this great and important staple. The
price OF wheat must range below dollar a BUSH
al in all parts Of the Southern and Western coun-
try. This decline must now fall on the farmer
exclusively, it being period Of the year when
the crop is wholly in his hands The relative
value OF wheat, as well as Of other articles, does
not at all correspond with prices here. There is
a much greater difference in prices than the
mount OF transportation. This difference is eau
sed by the wretched condition Of our currency
a note or draft, having 30 or 60 days to run, on
any Western State, cannot be discounted IN any
Bank in this city. Notwithstanding the great
abundance Of money, notes Of this description are
not taken, hence the impossibility Of moving pro-
duce by any facilities. Five years ago draft or
a note Of established character would be taken
by our banks, let the same be payable at any point
in This country. All this system Of facilities 10
al an end. Paper of business character is con-
fined to its local place, and is with difficulty col
lected and transmitted from point to poin.. All
this difficulty and tax falls mainly on the produce
Of our country, or on the holders Of produce, who
are farmers and planters"

G~The following extract from the National
lntelligencer embraces latest news from
Washington. 1t is still uncertain what course
will be taken by Congress. We believe it is
the general sentiment hero that il should adjourn,
rather than abate jot Of the high ground it now
occupies in its controversy with the Executive.
In the HousE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, Friday,
fresh game was sprung and chased with spirit and
animation through the whole Of long day, with
out running it down. Dropping the metaphor,
the House having resolved itselfinto a Committee
Of the Whole on the state Of the Union--in which
form Of the House no two-thirds vote is required
to originate any proposition--a new Tariff bill
was Introduced by Mr.. q. J. lNeERsoLL, and be-
came the subject Of an extended debate, which
was closed by Mr.. McKrsNAN; who after an ar
gument against MIR. lNeERsoLL's bill as partial,
immature, and not entitled to any favor in com
parison with such bill as the House had ma
tured or might mature, with the and Of it's enlight-
ened and able Committee, &c. moved the rising of
tho Committee, which was agreed TO, and the
whole subject Of course laid over till to-day.
No man can say what will come Of il. Per-
haps our wishes deceive us. But really, it seems
now to be possible that some bill to supply the
present glaring deficiencies in the revenue system
may yet pass Congress.

and was followed by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The question was upon adopting the report and

Mr.. Wise asked to be excused from voting. as
he denied the right of the House to pass sentence

motion, and Mr.. Wise renewed it, and began a
