t1Tho pimps Of the great Douglass At
Chicago trumped up charge against Mayor
Wentworth, and had him arrested for steal.
ing mail bags, the other day.
The matter was tried before Judge Drum
mond and In the course Of the defence IL was
proved that the bags were canvass bags, such
as documents are forwarded in for members
of Congress, and that scores Of them had
been sent to Senator Douglass, and the CON-
mittees Of the political parties, and that they
had never been returned nor their return de-
manded. And that tho bags in controversy
had been sent to Wentworth by member Of
Congress full OF Congressional documents.
Tho prosecution was promptly dismissed
by the Judge rs frivolous and malicious, and
Q scashing rebuke was At the same time ad-
ministered to the despicable creatures who
had pressed 1t on.
WILL WoRg ITS ows Cusr.-The remark
that speculation and high prices will soon
work its own cure has been remarkably vcri-
fed this season in various articles besides
real estate.
A few months ago hides aud leather had
reached such exorbitant figures that the
of shoes were forced TO sus-
pend business. This movement Of suddenly
blocking the demand operated like che n.
and prices came down 50 quick that it made
the isather-hsods of the speculators swim.
Everywhere in the East the stocks OF hides
have accumulated enormously and prices
have gone down in consequence twenty Ave
to thirty per cent. A similar result has ia
ken place also in the Eastern market in the
cattle market. Drivcnto desperation BY the
ever advancing prices, the people refused to
eat beef, and tho droves arriving daily 6nd-
ing no buyers, soon everstocked the market
to such extent that holders were glad to get
moderate prices.
Things will generally work round about
right in the long run.
GA Democratic paper states that tho
grand secret which has secured the great sue
CESS Of the party for many years 10 its ma
tionality. II that be 90, the party must soon
lose its talisman Of success, for it has be-
come extremely sectional, and even ct the
last Presidential election was enabled to
carry only three or four Of tho strongest Of
the northern pro-slavsry Looofoco States,
and owed even that success to the division Of
the Anti Nebraska vote caused BY third
party candidate.
The party has abandoned its nationality,
and defeat 10 inevitable henceforth, for Gil
time TO come.
GTThe Chicago Tinsss had flaming articls
the other day, Kissing hot with 8ssy indigns-
ton against certain officers Of the Alnshouse
in that city, who were charged With selling
the dead bodies Of the inmates. That same
paper, however, abounds in articles Justify
ing and advocating tho sale Of living human
bodies whenever and wherever it will pay to
breed anc work them. It is all right, 40
cording to the Democratic creed, 70 sell
bodies with souls in them, but it 10 most
terrible outrage npon humanity TO sell de-.
serted and decaying tenement Of humanity.
