Another Letter from Judge Douglas.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Tho letter from
Judge Douglas to Colonel Briton coyors two
points--Naturalzation and tho African
Slave Trade--substantaliy as follows;
There can DO no difference in the degree
of protection accorded by Government to
native and naturalizod citizons. Our con
stituton recognizes no difference in this re-
spect. If ono can expatrato himself from
foreigu government and swear allegiance
to this and still owe anything to the foreign
power, he is in the singular and incredible
predicament of owing allegiance to two
countries without boing entitled to the pro-
lection due TO all our citizens.
In tho Convention tho Constitution was
n creature of compromise and tho African
Slave Trade was the subject. South Caro-
lima and Georgia wished to continue IL,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and
New York wished it terminated. Now Eng.
land was passive in tho matter, South Car.
olna aud Georgia finally carried their point
OF continuance till the year 1908, with the
understanding that 1t should then end 1t
therefore became the vital compromise, OF
tho instrument, and must DO held as sacred
as the instrument ITSELF In this Wow Judge
Douglas declares himself to DO irrevocably
opposed to the reopening Of the African
Slave Trade,

GOVERNOR CHASE, of Ohio, was in this
city yesterday, Quite number of gem
tlemen paid their respects to this distin-
guished Republican, at the house Elk Sen
ator Gillette. Gov. Chase has a manly
and prepossessing bearing, and is one Of
those good men and true, in whose hands
the helm Of State would be firmly held,

sound and reliable Republican as he has

THE ARTgsIAN WELL.-This Groat Bore
has got to tho depth of 2,O25 feet, and pro.
crossing at tho rate of four feet OVery
twenty four hours.
On Saturday, Professor T. G. Wormley
made several experiments, with the following
results, which he kindly furnished us. He
says that the pressure por square inch at the
bottom is SCI pounds, or 10000 per square
yard.
LIST Experiment-Throe bottles, two of
thom hermetcally sealed, were placed in the
pump and sunk to tho bottom of the bore.
Wben withdrawn they were crushed to
powder. The other which was closed with
stIong cork, had it forced in and the
bottle pulverizod.
2d Experiment-Two very strong cut
glass bottles were used, one of them was
crushed, the other, a very small and thick
one, was forced half full OF water-but not
broken, and tho cork remaining firmly fixed
in the mock. The water forced into the
bottle at the eroat depth of 2025 feet, or
over three-eighths of milo, was as pure
and linped as the purest spring.
Curious stones are brought, 10 limited
quantities, from the bottom, which, when
polished, show minute stars, new moons,
half moons, full moons, and suns, most reg
ularly and clearly defned.--Stats Journal

The grass crop is very light--probably not

ample opportunities for observation, states
that the oat crop is better this season, than

WASHINGTON national Monument.
The construction of the Washington
National Monument, after suspension
of several years is to he resumed under
the direction of Lieut.. j. g. Ives, of the
Typographical Engineers. 1t is proposed
to request the Postmasters throughout
the country to give aid to the enterprise,
by placing boxes in their respective Offices
for the reception of contributions. and for
warding :he returns to Washington. How
ever Insignificant the amounts may be,
they will swell to an important aggregate
when collected from 10000 post offices
throughout the United States. A few
cents month, transmitted regularly by
each, would suffice, in few years, to raise
the shaft to its intended height. The
Postmaster General, in letter dated July
26th, heartily concurs in the movement.

The Great Wool Sale.

Tho great success of tho Wool Fair Just
hold in this cty,is cause ofgreat congratula-
ton to Northern Ohio, and especially so to
our citv, for it establishes Cleveland rs the
great wool mart, not only for Northern
Ohio, but for tho Mississippi Valley. This
city, by being tho great focal point, where
lies tho natural middle ground between tho
consuming East and tho producing Wost,
has, of course, local advantages which des-
ignate it as tho rallying spot for wool grow
ers, wool dealers and wool consumers. Yet
these advantages require direction to give
thom full effect, and Messrs. Goodalo & Co.,
and other Wool Dealers of tho city, took the
matter in hand and have carried tho First
Wool Growers Fair to perfectly success
ful issue.
We being judges, thoro wero moro wool
buyers hero at tho Fair than there were
wool growers: and that fact shows that the
Eastern Manufacturers are ready to CO.
operate in this great movement which is OF
so much moment to the wool interests of
Ohio. Tho only fear had, was upon the
part of the growers, who, looking upon the
Fair rs an experiment, were on tho start q
littlo timid, fearful perhaps, that tho Fair
would NOT attract tho attention of wool con-
sumors sufficiently 20 prevent combinations
among bidders that would be rninous to tho
wool growers interest. Tho first hour OF
the sale dispollod that fear, for in that hour
the diffcront classes of buyers were folt Of
by tho offering of various lots and grades OF
wool, and it became apparent that there
wore buyers Tor all tho wool and at good
prices.
We suppose tho sales reached $3.50, 900
big days work. This wool, for tho most
part, was raised within circuit of ono hun.
dred miles. Although thore wore many
samples from other states, the heaviest lots
however, were from the region round abou,
US.
Il there wcro any not entirely pleased
with tho result of tho Fair, wo imagine
thoy we've tho Wool Spectators, who, in the
figuro at which tho woods won't, saw nc
margin" for them to operate on.
Every thing was conducted so far as We
could learn upon honorable, high,minded
business ground. Unfortunately, sickness
and death in tho family of Mr.. GoOdalo
prevented him from personally directing at
the sale, but MIR. Burt discharged that duty
with groat satisfaction. The Admirable ar
rangement of the Fair, classification of wools
the catalogues, and every thing that liber-
ality and good judgment could secure, cOn-
tributod very much to tho success Of this
first wool Fair.-Citveidnd Herald.
