The PRosPEcrs OF THE Provision Trade.
I'm the absence of all foreign demand for
the hog product, with no market to look
to other than home-no reason can be
given why the high prices Of last season
and the year previous should be expected
All accounts from abroad indicate large
hog crop in Ireland this season, which will
have much to do with supplying the English
and other European markets. Our own
meats have been gradually finding less ia
vor with the English and French govern
ments, partly owing to our mode of fatten-
ing and curing, as well as to the damage and
injury frequently sustained by the article
while on transit. The hog cholera which
still prevails in all parts of the West with
undated mortality will reduce the crop
materially this year, but not to an extent to
bring the supply down to the reduced de.

WATER CASA successful experiment in

made at the gas works in Wilmington, Del,
on the lst Instant demonstration was
in every respect satisfactory, the light being
very pure and brilliant. One twenty-sev-
enth of the usual capacity Of the works can
supply the whole city with this gas, at all
elevations. The light, in burners suited to
the density of the gas was admirable. 1t
is manufactured under Dr. Sanders Cincin-

that made from coal. The directors OF
Philadelphia city works, aud many scientific
gentlemen, were delighted with the success
of the demonstration.

The GOVERNOR AND THE SCHOOL Books
The State Sentinel declares that the article
published in this paper, in regard to the
change of books used in our schools, was
full of gross errors. The statement made
by us was founded upon communication
sent to us from reliable source in Indian
apolis. To correct the error, we copy the
SsntinsEs version of the proceedings:
II is charged that McGuffey's series of
Readers has been adopted by the State
Board of Education as text books in the
common schools of the State. This is not
the fact. No such action has been had by
the Board. At the meeting of the Board
referred to, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction offered resolution covering the
action, which finally met the unanimous
sanction of the Board, bnt the language of
the resolution not exactly meeting the
views of the Board, Gov. Willard drafted
one which did, and il was unanimously
adopted. That resolution adopted Good
rich's series of readers as cheaper, the
amount of matter being taken into consid-
GRAFTON, and having already adopted Buffers
Grammar, who is the author of Goodrich S
Readers, it was regarded as consistent and
Just that they shosld be preferred to any
other.
The action of the Board is said to have
received the appreciation OF the Superin-
tendent. The complaint against the change
is said to have originated with the publish
ers Of the excluded books.

BtA. Walker, the fillibuster, Is again on
the move, stirring up trouble for the govern
ment and the people of Central America
Information received at Washington, from
the South, leaves little doubt that Walker
has recommended his fillibustering opera
tons. A letter from Houston, Texas, states
positively that he would leave New Orleans
for Nicaragua, in such way as to preclude
opposition from the Government The Of
fetal order of the X. G. G. is undoubtedly
connected with his movements, and his re.
cent change of religion is regarded as 9
dodge to make himself more acceptable te
the Central Americans. .a.

EUROPEAN CRoPs.-Private advices from
England represent the crops in that country
and throughout Europe, to be less productive
than was anticipated. The actual yield of
wheat win be much below an average in
Great Britain, France, and Russia. Under
the circumstances, considering the reported
spread of the potato disease, some British
houses write as though they looked for fair
export from this side. At present, prices do
not permit of grain exporting to England
at profit, but there is some prospects oil
an early advance in English markets. gF,g

Secretary OF state.

There are three candidates announced for
the Office of Secretary of State, which 1t IS
alleged viii be legally vacant after the cleo
ton on Tuesday next. Daniel Mcclure, who
was the incumbent, at the last October cleo
ton, was reelected for the term of two
years from January 1859. Shortly after the
election, and before the expiration Of his
first term, Mr.. Mcclure resigned the office:
whereupon Gov. Willard appointed c. L.
Durham Secretary of State to I'LL the un-
expired term. The term for which Mt.
Durham was appointed has since expired,
and another general election recurring this
fall, it is held to have been the plain and
positive duty of the Governor to have or
dered an election TO fill that Office.
This he has neglected to do, and as the
requisitions of the Constitution cannot, or
ought not TO be defeated by the neglect or
corrupt disregard of them by the Governor,
a large portion Of the people Of the State
seem resolved to vote for new Secretary OF
State, without the sanction of the Governor.
Under an appointment as Secretary of State,
for Mr.. McClure's unexpired term, Mr.. Dun
ham is in fact filling the Office for the sue
ceeding term, for which Mcclure never
qualified al all. This is an arbitrary exer-
else of power, in direct and palpable viola
ton of constitutional provision.
As Mr.. Durham will be here on Friday
to address the people, his opinion may b
asked in regard to hequestion. The voter
should understand on what title he pretend
TO hold the Office. If he is usurper or al
intruder, the people want to know it.
he has a legal and constitutional right Il
the place let him vindicate it.
There are three candidates for the alleged
vacant Office.
Mr.. JAMES NJ. HILL, of Jennings county
appeals to the Black Republicans for sup
port.
Mr.: WILLIAM NJ. FRENCH, of Clark coun
ty, is conservative Of the opposite ranks
Nh. JESSE L. ALEXANDER is a Democrat
but will accept the votes of all parties. w
do not know anything of the characters o
qualifications of any of the candidates, bu
it il said that all of them are qualified TO
the Office.
