The present state of tbingsn the cattle market not
only this City but every other makes our report of
the market matter of interest and worthy of the at
tention of every reader of THE TRIBUNE. For in
stance it estimated that the whole number Of 2 1873
head of beeyes at Bulls Head yesterday sold for an
average of 800 head-all Of the choice buocks at
prices equivalent to l31 or Ia cents pound for the
net weight and some still higher. The value of the
meat, after taking out the price of hide and fat, is
about two cents less than the price paid on foot
A good many cattle ranged from Sl2O TO Sl59
each, which would have been counted large price
for horses a few years ago. We do not know what
people are to eat-we do know they can't afford to
eat roast beef-and we don't see any immediate
prospect of relief from the present extraordinary
prices at which meat is necessarily retailed; the
price of cattle is not speculative one, occasoned
by any monopoly or combination to raise prices but
comes from the legitimate source that governs de-
mand and supply. The supply in the country ia too
email 10, the demand in the city. The only relief is
for all to eat less meat part of us to go to the
country and grow what we eat. 1t is of no use to
grumble.

The journal Of Commerce is expected to prose-
cute political warfare, as it always has done, BY
bold assertion and reckless imputation its adyer-
saries. No sheet issued in our city has ever dealt
more sweepingly in calumnious mputations of mo-
tives than this smooth.spoken organ of Cotton
Democracy. That it should hate the Republican
party, and seek to overthrow il by any means, was
inevitable; but it shall not reiterate its ISLANDERS
unrebuked. We state facts of wide notOriety in
the following summary:
|. Fernando Wood, and the men who are now
backing him in rebellion and anarchy, do not repre-
sent the majority of our citizens. Though Mr.
Buchanan received a large majority here Wood
had last Fall majority of more than Eight Thou
sand votes against him. and only slipped in through
the division Of his opponents. He never received
any thing like half the votes of citizens for
Mayor
2. The complaint that Wood was prostitutng the
Police Department of our city 10 the service of
personal as well as party ambition, has not been
confined to the Republicans, nor even to the Re-
publicans and Americans 1t was as loud aud deep
in his own party as in. ours. Scores of leading
Democrats, including the City Recorder, who is a
member of the old Police Board long ago protested
against these abuses and united in the prayer for
relief. In taking out of Woods hands the power
10 remodel and WELD the Police as political ma
chine, tie Legislature did what the great body Of
our intelligent citizens ardently desired. Hun.
dreds Of those who now affect to join i'll the denun
citation of this act, in order to prevent Woods get
ting the weather-gage in Tammany Hall, are well
known to be at heart hostile to Woods Success and
in favor of the new Commission.
8. The Republicans have at no time desired to
make the Police partisan, but on the contrary,
they have earnestly striyen against such result
The new Commission never intended 10 remove
one capable honest efficient Policeman who does
his duty. The Democratic Mayors of NeW-York
and Brooklyn are made otfoiO members Of this
Commission. The post of Superintendent of Po
lice was rendered successfully TO Judge Whiting
and Chief Nlatsell, well known Democrats. Though
it is notorious that the POLICIES hree.fourhs Dem
ocratic, no member Of il would ever have been
dismissed by the new regime because of his politics.
All that the Republicans desire is Police that shall
attend strictly and effectively to its duties and shall
not uphold rioting and outrage at the polls, as was
done, especially in the First Ward, last Fall This
all good citizens should unite in demanding; and
this is all the Republicans desire. A Police that
will protect the people from robbery, at the ballot
box or elsewhere, is all We ask and that we mean
to have, Wood and Lis myrmidons to the contrary
notwithstanding.
a. The case is now on its way to the Court of
Ann, mis-. where il is 10 be decided BY strongly

Tie Journal Of Commerce, in notice intended to
be highly eulogistic pays Mr. Secretary Toucey
rather back handed compliment. He owes his
post it would seem, not to any qualifications for it,
but entirely to other considerations " The spirit
Of fanaticism," we are told, has unwittingy ele-
" waited him to his present post" As we never
heard that Mr.. Buchanan was ever charged with
any spirit of fanaticism," we must suppose that
this is but delicate way on the part of The
Journal of Commerce., of suggesting that Mr..
Toucey has been appointed merely to spite the
Republicans
One of the facts respecting the Cabinet men,
toned by that journal goes to show how implicitly
the "unterrifed Democracy" have faAen under the
control of moneyed aristOcracy. 1t is stated that
the President and his Cabinet are all wealthy men,
counting their means, some by hundreds of thou
sands and some by milions-the richest Cabinet ever
known. 1t would seem that We are rapidly APP
preaching that arrangement of parties which has
always existed in all republican Governments-a
union of the very rich with the very poor and ig-
norant against the industrious middle class, and
ending but too Often-which Heaven avert in our
case in the overthrow of liberty and the estab-
lishment Of tyranny in its place.

time the confession that Franklin Pierce, born oil
Revolutionary stock in the State of New Hamp-
shire, gave, granted sold and conveyed himself to
the planters of Mississippi Every future title
deed of the property would be record against
bin, ar all his heirs and assigns would rise up to
pronounce him Infamous. Imagine the Father OF
his Country receiving such an offer, Why, we
think that Old Hickory himself never accepted
anything more than coffin
We do Mr. Pierce himself the justice to believe
that be will fully agree with in our estimate of
this cruel insult. He is offered "a home in Vir-
guia, another in Maryland, and still another in Mis-
sissippi. IL, then, the eIPresident of the United
States at present homeless, an Outcast an exile,
and wanderer upon the face Of the earth! Do
these open-handed donors mean to pay him the du-
bous compliment of insinuating that the State OF
bis birth has become so odious to him that he does
not wish to return TO il, or that be has become so
odious to the State that he does not dare to return
to it 2 that the roof which once sheltered can no
longer protect him from the avalanche of execration
which will roll down upon it from the rock-ribbed
bills of New Hampshire that the friends of child
hood have been alienaed, that the old familiar faces
have grown cold, that the neighbors who were once
so proud of him have sent him in the evening of his
life to distant land to kindle new fires, to erect
new affairs, and TO cultivate new relations Yet
all this and more is certainly implied in this coarse
proposition.
But our generous friends who have undertaken,
like little Miss Flyte in Bleak House, TO confer
estates" are perfectly safe. Benedict Arnold GER
tainly accepted his commission and his pension
from George Ill., but then he went to England to
enjoy them. But, however much Mr.. Pierce might
coyet the plantations, with the negroes thereunto
belonging, everybody must see that
Though At last he caughtthem fast,
His heart could ne'er enjoy them, o."
He would be squibbed to death in year. He
would be called every hard name in the dictionary,
from Abaddon to ZambO. We should hear no more
of Cincnnatus and his plow-" like Franklin
pierce and his niggers would be the fashionable
comparison. People would not chew his tobacco,
nor wear his cotton, eat his rice and then
what sorry figure he would cut in history! The
thing will never do; and when Mr. Pierce writes
his letter to the Yicksburghers declining the gift,
we hope he will do it in style which will forever
prevent the repetition of such al indecorum.

The gratitude of the STAKEHOLDER always manifests
itself in coarse form, ranging from friendly
drink" to service of plate. OF that delicate and
generous appreciation of public services which
shows itself in the general gratitude and affection
of a people the South seems to be incapable; OF
that self abnecaton which finds in the performance
Of duty its own exceeding great reward, the South
seems to be equally unconscious. When the late
Mr.. Brooks sacrificed bis love of law, his respecta-
bility and HE character and blasted the promising
prospects Of his life, to serve the slavemongers,
they immediately sent to him small museum of
bludgeons and Of pistols; and now that Mr.. Pierce
has left the Presidency with reputation battered
in the same behalf, we hear that the people Of
yicksbureh propose to balm his wounded spirit, or
70 encourage him in bis dislcyalty to liberty, BY
giving to him plantation in Mississippi. The
shameful indelicacy of such an offer is apparent.
To come TO man who has held the high office of
President Of the United States, not with words of
Generalization upon his fidelity to the Constitution,
NOT with an acknowledgment in dignifed language
Of his patriotism and ability but with cheque for
500. eco. is really. no matter what may be the ill.,
teptiop, piece of magnificent impertinence. How
