GREEN RIVER TRADE.

We learn that there il almost u complete
stagnation of business Mt Bowling Green
and along the river. There 10 SO great u
difference in the views Of farmers and ope-
rators in regard to the prices of produce,
that no sales are being made, and business is
arrested, waiting further developments in
the leading markets. Wheat is selling in
very small lots at Bowling Green for so to
Is cents. At Browns Mills, the price is 60
cents delivered. But at these prices scarcely
enough is obtained to supply the local de-
mand for -four. Most Of the wheat is still
in tho farmers hands. AS yet there have
been no sales of hogs. The Messrs. Quig-
ley have not began packing. The pack
ers are unwilling to offer over a, which
farmers will not accept. 1t Is likely that
mort of the pork on Green River will be
packed this season on farmers sccounts.--
The same difference of opinion in regard to
prices, prevails among tobacco raisers and
buyers; and it Is likely that large share OF
,he tobacco will DO shipped by the farmers
. themselves. The crops through all the Green
the amount on hand exceeds any former
crop; and the present delay in bringing il
GU; will only throw large amount into the
spring business, and make that an unusually
active season. Our townsman, Mr.. John
S. Mitchell, has lease Of tho largo ware
house at the Bowling Green landing, and Of
tho railroad from the landing to the town
Both have been put in complete order, ant
arc iully prepared for the large business tina
must be done ut that point this year. Their
was q report current last season that tn
foundations or foorings Of tho warehouse O
tho Bowling Green landing were giving way
We are glad to hear there were no ground
for the report. Everything about tho i'm
nense structure is as firm and safe a. whcl
is was put up.

KANSAS.

The equanimity Of the Frcc-Statc men ap-
pears to be but little disturbed by the usur-
pations of the Constitutional Convention.
They are 20 confident in their own strength
being ten to ono of their opponents, that
if the outrageous schemes connected by the
slavery leaders should all be consumma-
ted, and the constitution imposed upon the
Territory with the sanction of Congress md
the administration, they can sweep it away
in six months, by the first election that shall
be held under it, or by the power they Nj
ready possess in the Legislature. The game
that is being played by the pro-slavery party
Is short sighted one; and if they were sure
of success the triumph would be but for a
day; and the moro cxasperating and unjus-
tifablc their acts, the more complete will be
their defeat and prostration; they are turn
ing all just and reasonable men against them,
aud bringing odium upon their cause
and party. The Free-State men will not
vote upon tho constitution, as it is proposed
to submit it; but rs soon rs the present Leg
islature assemblies, it will repeal all obnox-
ious laws and call another Constitutional
Convention that will re-adopt the Topeka
Constitution, and that will be ratified by the
people and enforced.

B A young man by the name Of Chas

hand had been seen In IL, streets, making
th ir way to the banks. Ii they were able
to exchange New Orleans bank notes for New

they sell at home for per cent. premium,

From the Christian Advocate and Journal. ]
GOVERNOR WRIGHT,

The American Minister ut the Court O,
Berlin, has won the respect and gratitude o.
the American religious public generally, moi
only by his attention to our fellow -citizen.
who were present in that capital at the late
Evangelical Convention, but still more by
the interest he took rs personal Christian
in the proceedings ofits sessions. While the
ambassadors of other nations were present
occasionally, lookers-on, in the royal cortege
Governor Wright was active on the platform
OF the meeting, presided in its committee
welcomed its members to his hospitalities
and threw the whole weight of his official
dignity in favor Of the beneficcnt and truly
catholic aims of the Convention. In the best
sense of the word we are proud not only as
q member of the same Church with Governor
Wright, but as an American eitizen) Of his
dign;fed and Christian like course on the &C.
casion.
American travellers on the Continent, and
especially Christian citizens, have not, here
tofore, for some time, felt disposed to prids
themselves much on our national representa-
tives ut most of the EuEopean Courts Gov.
Hright's conduct promises to redeem ouI
reputation in this respect. The manly in
dependence, too, Of the manner in which he
welcomed the American delegates to the
Convention, is characteristic and highly hon.
oruble. Without duplicating, in any wise
his official functions. he felt, nevertheless
that the latter shonld not, in any wise, COM
promise his rights and generous sympathle,
as q Christian citizen; that in this character
he could and would share with his visiting
American fellow-citizens IN the festivities OF
the great assembly.
His course has been as honorable to hi.
country rs 70 our common Christianity, and
VIC doubt not that sill good citizens ut home
whether avowcdly Christian or not. will ioir
Us in heartily commencing it.

IMPORTANT DECISION AGAINsT THE
STATE BANK.

The injunction asked by the now State
Bank against the Treasurer Of the city ofNew
Albany restraining him from collecting taxes
assessed by the city on the capital of the
Branch Bank in that place was tried on FIJI
day, and decided against the Bank ny Judge
Bieknell of the Floyd Circuit Court. He
held that the secticu of the charter that ex-
emp,ed the bank capital from taxes for mu-
nlcipal purposes was null and void. The
point raised BY the city, was that the exempt
ing clause was contrary to Article 10, Sec
tion Is, ofthe Constitution. This position
was sustained by tho Court.
The exemption is in substance As follows
"The capital stock of the bank shall be sub.
Zee: to taxation for State and county purpo-
SEES, the real estate and other property of TIT
bank in any city or town shall be taxable 70
municipal purposes, but the capital stool
shall no; be taxable for municipal purpo
ses."
Section lst, Article 10 Of the Constitution
10 as follows: 1.-THE General assembly shall
provide by law for a uniform and equal rat
of assessment and taxation; and shall pres
eribe such regulations rs shall secure jus
valuation for tho taxation Of all property
both real and personal, excepting such onl
for municipal, educational, literary, scien
iifc, religious, or charitable purposes ~ ma
be specially exempted by law"
The Court decided that the Bank did nc
come within the category Of any Of these ia
voIed public interests, and could not there
fore be exempted by law. The Bank charte
was Legislative contract that could not B
impaired by law-but oil contracts oppose
TO the Constitution were void. The case wi
b. appealed, and the proceedings under
will settle the question for our own an
other cities.

Jail is offering to take contracts to paint signs

He is q most skiliul aud beautiful letterer.
With common pencil he has made a very

poses if any one will give him ink and paper
he will furnish notes that will pass and in
crease the currency. 1t is misfortune tina,
so much genius and skill should be doomed

w The contest for q. S. Senatorship
from Kentucky assumes many phases-vary-
ing with the changes of every week. The
prominent candidates are now, Gov. Powell
Lynn Boyd-ex-Seeretary Guthrie-IIon.
Mr.. Hise-and Clarke, all good Democrats.
The American party has majority m the
Senate, and as Mr.. Thompson's term does not
expire till March 1889, and new Lcgis.a-
ture will be elected before his successor will
take his seat in December 1889, it is intima-
ted that the Senate may refuse to 90 into an
election this winter, and appeal again to the
people. This, from past experience in such
xperlments-would be dangerous resort.

BUSINESS HABITS OF AARON BURR.

Mr.. Partofl's new work en- Burr gives the
following sketch of his daily habits in the
latter part Of his life, rs related to the author
By gentleman who spcnt some time in
Bnrr's office:
He rose at the dawn. A breakfast Of an
egg and cup Of coffee sufticed for this most
abstcmious OF men; aftsr which he worked
among bis papers for some hours before his
clerk and assistants arrived. lie was n hard
task masteri he "kept US all upon the jump
All day he was dispatching and receiving
messages, sending for books, persons and pa
pers; expecting every command TO be obeyed
with next to impossible celebrity, inspiring
every one with his own zeal, and getting a
surprising quantity of work accom- plished
''He was business incarnate," said nv in
formant. About ten in the evening he would
give over, invite his companions to the side
board. and take single glass of wine. Their
his spirits would rise. and he would sit fol
hours telling stories of his past life, anC
drawing brief and graphic sketches of celc.
brated characters with whom he had acted
Often he was full Of wi: and gaiety at sucl
| time; "the livelest fellow in the world;n IA
merry a. a boy;' 'nevcr melancholy, neve
ill-natured." About midnight, or later, h
would lie down upon hard couch in tn
corner Of his office and sleep "like a child
until the morning. In his personal habit
he was a thorough-going Spartan; eatin
little, drinking little, sleeping little. workin
hard. lie was fond OF. calculating upon no,
small sum life could be supported, an
used to think that he could live well enoug
upon seventy five cents u week.
Yet this man, so laborious and abstcmiou
in his habits, was libertine and spendthrif
through life. 1t Is remarkable that one prac
tieing self denial continually against all IL
seductions of personal case and indulgenc,
Of the palate, could not subdue his other pa,
sions. +s

CoLI.s's NEw STEAMER ApRIATIC, mad

CoLL,S's NKw STEAMER ADRIATIC, made
her trial trip on the 18th and run about $50
miles to sea and along the coast, having sat
isfed many most competent Judges who were
on board that she is the fastest ship afoat.
Her greatest speed was eighteen nautical and
twenty-one statute miles in one hour and
four minutes, using only about two-thlrds Of
her available steam, and about half laden.
The AJriatic is the largest wooden vessel
in the world. Her length is S54 feet; breadth
of beam so; depth of hold ss feet. Her reg
is,ered tonnage is $3.50 tons. The beauty OF
her lines and proportions are unparalleled,
and may DO considered the mastcr-work OF
the genius Of George Seers. She sets with
swan-like grace and ease upon tho water, aud
notwithstanding her gigantic proportions
she presents q specimen ofsystematcal beau
ty uncquallcd in naval architecture. She
will add new lustro to the fame Of American
architectural skill. Her cabins are magnif-
Gently furnished. and her dining saloon will
seat 800 persons ut the table. Her two en-
gines are the largest oscillating engines evel
built, each 100 inch cylinder and twelve fee
stroke, with IN actual power OF 5000 horses
Her condensing apparatus is composed o
IL, 900 copper tubes. Her piston rods are Il
inches in diameter, and her shaft 20 inches
OF solid wrought iron. The movements o
her machinery are so perfect and noiscles
that seated in her main cabin one cannot tel
il it be in motion OF not. When viewed from
the hurricane deck, the noise 1t makes is lik
that of rush of wind. This beautiful ship
that will be the pride ofthe country, left Ne'
York for Liverpool vest rday.
