would giauly nave aVall6u mySeu OF Sucn an
opportunity, and have taken great pleasure in
furnishing the Department with another copy
Of the letter. Had Secretary Marcy in that case
laid before Congress, the President would
doubtless have seen the propriety of transmit
ting my statements with his own views.
What adds to the injustice of the act of the
Secretary is the fact that no such demonstra-
ton was called for
Had copy of the lost letter been transmit
ted, with the simple explanation that the origi-
nal had been missed from the files of the De-
partment every demand of etiquette would
have been satisfied Had Secretary Marcy
been my friend, he would have hesitated to lay
before Congress and the world such state,
ment, even if he had the best reason to know
its truth. He could have justified such a
course by saying that no man of sensbility will,
when not imperatively demanded by what is
due to faithful discharge of duty, involve an
other in an accusation affecting his character,
however firmly he may be convinced of its
truth and justice.
Congress demanded no such explanation.
The Dutch Minister alone ventured, forgetting
all the decencies that are recognised among
the heads of polite nations, to call the State
Department to account for an imperfect dis
charge of its duty in transmitting the docu-
ments called for by Congress. Secretary Mar.
cy, unconscious that gross breach Of diplo-
matte courtesy had occurred in the official no
tice taken by the Dutch Minister of the inter
nal affairs of the Department, and apparently
DESTROYS of accounting for the suddenness and
severity of his attack upon me, transmitted
with his letter that of the Dutch Minister. Had
an American Minister at London or Paris dic,
tated to the heads of the English or French
nations what communications should or should
not be made by the Executive heads to the
Legislative Assemblies, he would soon have
discovered, by polite suggestion, that he was
accredited to the head Of the nation, and NO,

although the sales of leading staple show excess
compared with the operations of last week The trsnssc
tons Sugar, Molasses and Tobacco have been mod

has been restricted by limited receipts Navigation
however having been again resumed 1t hoped the sup

has declined 90 per Dbl from The highest point last week.
aud Oats, which in few days have fallen from 10 10

COTTON We noticed in last review sales during
the early part Of the week of 1880, but subsequently
heard of some further sales Tuesday, which sweed
the amount 10 IA 500 bales On Wednesday the market
opened quiet and dropping but factors showed in-
creased desire TO realize the sales summed up 1900 bales
On Thursday when the Banks closed, in conse-
quence Of its being national holiday, factors continued
the demand freely, and Coco bales taken at
prices rather in favor of buyers but without estab
tendency appeared to be arrested by the Asas letters
the demand animated, and 5000 bales were tax
rather fuller prices making aggregate for the
three DAYS of 800 bales and for the week, of 10000
The receipts since the goth instant comprise 93O8 bales
against II 4O2 during the corresponding period last year.
