We notice that there is more than the usual ex-
element in regard to the probable price Of this
years clip of Wool The opinion is generally prevs-
lent among the farmers that the price will be ser
ously affected by the operation of the new tariff,
which makes all wool free that costs twenty
cents or under at the port Of embarkatop. If in
voices are honestly made, this alteration will not
materially affect the finer woods that have hereto
| fore formed the bulk Of the production in the
| United States. The competing woods are the Aus
tralian and part Of the South American, which
correspond to our merinoes. Those woods are now
comparatively higher in London than 10 New York;
go much so, indeed, that it viii be an object for
manufacturers to purchase our woods at prices in
advance of last year.
The change which has been going on in the farm
ing of the older States since 1910 has been more
marked in sheep husbandry than any other branch.
From 1910 to 1850, the total increase in the num-
Der Of sheep was not far From FIVE millions, while
the decrease was about three millions, leaving the
actual increase at only some two millions in the ten
years, whereas by the natural law of increase the
entire stock should have been at least doubled The
decrease was in the older States, most of it in New
England and New-YOrk, and almost entirely in fine
wooded sheep. In the State of New-York alone,
since lS40, the decrease exceeds four millions and
there were not many sheep in this State in 1855
as in ls2l Since 1850, there has been no sensible
increase in any State, while there has been during
the last three years decrease in Ohio and Michi-
gan. But the lowest point has probably been
reached in the older States. The fne-wOoled
sheep have been exterminated, and the coarse
wooded mutton sheep now fast taking their place.
We may henceforth look for a gradual increase in
numbers, and large increase in the amount Of
meat brought to market. 1t n this kind of wool
that will be most affected in price by the introduce
ton of free wool. The quantity, however at pres
ent is not large, and cannot be materially affected
this year, nor until foreign wool markets show
decline from present prices.
The clip of this year will not be equal to that of
the last so that no surplus be accumulated and
held over TO bear down prices, nor is there now
any surplus for dealers or manufacturers to fall
back upon. The only means they have to brighten the
farmers into low prices, will be to make them believe
that large stocks of foreign wool are 10 be brought

farmer will be duped by any such story, for, ii told,
it will be a sheer fabrication The present price Of
wool in all the foreign wool markets renders the
whole thing morally impossible.
The price Of the finer grades Of wool has ad-
vanced from 10 TO 30 per cent. in all the German
markets over the last years prices. The German
woods are so high that the English find it difficult
to get supply there, and are thrown upon the
better grades Of colonial, and have thereby en-

We have newspapers from Kansas to the I'd of
May and letters to later date some of which we
give in another column. The taking of the census,
as will be seen by one of these letters, in most of
the counties where the population is exclusively or
mainly Free-State, has been entirely neglected
In fact, many of these counties without any or
ganizaOn or officers under the bogus laws, for want
of inhabitants willing to accept the places
What will Governor Walker do under these cir
cumstancesl One of the professed objects of the
census is to furnish basis for the apportonmen of
the Delegates. The duty of making that appor-
tionment belongs to the Governor, which is the only
finger which this piece of bogus legislation allows
him to have in this constitutional pie What will
Mr.. Walker do i'll the premises To go on aud
make an apportiOnment based upon these false.
fraudulent, and deficient returns would be to make
himself direct party to this attempt to pack the
Convention in the Pro. Slavery interest. If there
is anything at all in the fair words and sweet PROM
ises OF Mr. Walker, here is an opportunity for him
0proye 1t. AS no census has been taken, that ia
no complete or fair census. there is nothing on
which to base an appOrtionment; and without an
aPportionment, of course no Convention can be
elected. 1t is fully in Mr.. Walkers power thus to
put veto on the whole operation and to afford the
opportunity for a Constitutional Convention in
which the Free State men shall have fair play.
1t will be seen by an article which We give from
The Topeka Tribune that the Free. State organiza.
ton under the Topeka Constitution is BY no means
abandoned. The Legislature is to meet on the 9th
oil june to which day it stands adjourned and al
ready existing vacancies in the body are filled or
are IN process to be so. We shall see whether
somebody will be sent with a regiment Of dragons
to disperse them.

condition Of the market for wooden goods the price
of wool owing to the decreased production. would
rule higher in this market than for many years

the market for some two or three years that the

wool for the past year have fallen of nearly five
millions of pounds compared with the three past
years.

The Hon. Frederick A. Talmadge has been desig-
mated for Superintendent of Police by the Commits
sioDeIs, and has accepted the post. He has held
several important positions, that Of Recorder among
others, and knows the ropes" as well as any
other man in New-York. That the simple fact of
his appointment will "proye terror to evil-doers'
we cannot realize, and herein is ground of hest
fancy as TO the fitness of the selection. We would
have a Chief of Police whose bare name would be
an assurance to the gamblers, brothel-keepers and
illicit rumse,ss Of our city that they must shut up
shop and might as well do it gracefully as other

and therefore We do not approve his appointment.
But what bis name will not effect, his acts may;
and We shall await their Development with the
deepest anxiety. In our Judgment, a Superin-
tebdent of Police who does not reduce the p0pua-
ton of our City BY at least twenty thousand within
six months will not do half his duty. There are
certainly three times that number who are living
