There were no Hogs remaining in the
pens last evening. When the superior
weight of the Hogs this season is considered,
the falling off in actual weight will be little
more than 40, 900 head since last season.
Yesterdays Journal remarks of the Lou
isville market:
There was nothing new in Monetary af-
fairs yesterday, the market continuing very,
tight, Neither was there any change in'6l,f
rates for Currency or Exchange. The BanAs
continue TO draw sparingly on the East at u
per cent. premium and on New Orleans at
1S@Z per cent. premium, the Brokers SELL

Market continues firm at former quotations,
with sales, according TO Messrs. Stewart &
Barter's books Of 80 brls. mess Pork at SIG,
10 brls. extra rump at $l2, and 10 brls. jowls
at $l2. The Hog slaughter is nearly closed
around the Falls. The number killed up to
last night was about 1895 600, and the differ
ence Between the slaughter of last season
and the present, wheA the superior weight Of
the Hogs this season is considered, is about
40, 600 head.
The Exchange Market has commenced
declining in st. Louis, and Sight on the
East and New Orleans is mostly sold at 8
per cent. premium over bankable funds
though one or two dealers still draw at 10
per cent. A decline in the selling rate of
Gold has occurred, however, and this regu-
lates the Exchange Market as Sight can be

THE SECESSION PoLE-E1citemeH in Pc
terSJurg, Vd-The saving done on Sunday
morning last, at Petersburg, of a secession
pole and flag, which had been erected the
previous day, is creating much feeling in that
city. The pole and its appurtenances cost
upward of 5000, and the parties by whom it
was erected expressed a determination of
rearing a new one, and of defending it il
necessary, against attack; but the Mayor of
the city, fearing some disturbance, ordered a
Union pole already erected 10 be taken
down, and interdicted by proclamation the
erection of poles in the public streets.
The parties owning the demolished pole
have published a card, in which they de-
nounce the proceedings as outrageous, and
intimate that it was accomplished with the
connivance of the police. On Wednesday,
a man named Owen Riley, Baltimorean,
though for the last nine years resident oi
Richmond, was arrested on the charge Of
saving down the pole and carrying off the
flag which adorned it. So prsud was he OF
his completely in the affair, that, on Tues
day he mounted the stump of the pole, aud
then and there openly and boldly declared
himself the author of the deed, and detied
any man to resent it. II is also stated that
he pinned the Lone Star which had adorned
the flag to his back, and thus decorated,
parsded several prominent streets. He was
released on $500 bail.

WASHINGTON, january This is general
holiday. All the departments and munici-
pal offices are closed. The bright genial
weather serves somewhat to enliven the
gloom consequent on the political condition
of the country.
At eleven o'clock the foreign ministers, in
Court costume and afterward the army and
navy officers, in full uniform, paid their
respects to the President.
At noon the doors were opened to the
other visitors, who on passing through the
reception-room, severally shook his hand.
The Southern members of Congress have
discovered something suspicious in the prop
osition of H. Winter Davis, including an
enabling act for New Mexico and its passage
in the House is now considered doubtful.

A HAUGHTY AND AN EGoTIsTIcAL MARQUIS
In the seventeenth century Spain possessed
a Marquis de Vilena, who traced his pedi-

when Cardinal Alberoni wished to be alone
with the King, the Cardinal requested him to

MAN STABBED ON ElsHTH-sTEET.-Last
night, about eight o'clock, stabbing affray
occurred on the corner of Eighth and Race
streets, in which man named James Ryan
received a wound in the side, which will no
doubt prove fatal. Ryan and several of his
companions were standing ON the corner,
creating considerable disturbance, when a
negro, whose name no one knew, went into
a Confectionery near by TO buy some cigars.
When he left, Ryan and his comrades com
menced abusing him and finally two of them
caught hold of his collar and struck him
several blows, and forced him up against
the side of a house, when he drew knife
and stabbed him in the vitals, and then fled.
Ryan's companions Immediately carried him
away, in a senseless and apparently dying
condition, He resides on FroRt-street, il

To hs Editors Of the Daily Pres:
AS the old year is about to pass away, and
the new one coming in-not as it should be,
happy New Year, but one of sorrow, mis-
cry and want, and the prospects ahead are
SO gloomy that the stoutest heart quails to
look at the prospects of living worse-what
is to become of the renter. 1t is wellknown
that at least two-thirds of the inhabitants OF
Cincinnati are renters; and that the rents are
enormously high is another fact. What l
ask, is to become of the laboring classes,
who now have neither work or bread2 Why
do not the landlords come forward like men
and say to their tenants, we will lower your
rents to suit the times; we will be satisfied il
we can get rent enough to pay the taxes OF
the property They should be satisfied il
is not the poor man alone the weight oi
heavy rents depresses, but all our business
men, as most of them are renters. Had not
the property-holder better do this than be
forced to do it by the renter2-as they most
surely will be if the hard times continue much
longer. Those that can not buy bread can
not pay rent. Neither should they be turned
out Of doors to perish. Some thing must be
done. A RENTER.

FRENCH AID TO SYRIA.-Three hundred
thousand francs have now been subscribed
by the French public, at the Office of the
Paris MOniteur, for the relief of the Syrian
Christians. Nearly two millions more were
entrusted TO the care of the society of the
Eastern Lazarists, for the same purpose. The
Chief of this society has gone out to Beirut,
where, instead of employing these!funds for
the relief of the unhappy sufferers, he has
consented, at the request of the Jesuits,
Lazarists and Sisters of Charity out there, to
employ them in forming fund for the edu-
cation of l50 Greek children in the ecclesi-
astical seminnries of Gazir and Ain Toura.
The Christian population, greatly excited by
this fraudulent procedure, have laid their
complaint before the French Consul, who is
said to have addressed very energetic rep
fascination of the affair to his Government.

Mr.. Jefferson, in answer 70 question ~
to the power Of the Union 70 enfores its laws,
thus expressed himself In these days when
to talk Of the supremacy of laws and consti-

would probably be called a cOercionist;

Of Congress are impotent because the Con-
federation provides no compulsory power.
But when two or more nations enter into

Deceney forbids this, and Il is as Unnecessary
as indecent, because the right Of compuIsion
naturally results to the party injured by the

selves, the ress have q natursl right tOconsDel

A Smithsonian FAMIIU IN BRyeTUh.--4A
Belgian family from Tins immemorial has
presented instances of siE-ingered children

while the boys have but five fingers, as most
people, eveFy girl born in bhe family pre-
sents that strange Phenomenon of sir fn-
gers on each hand and six toes on each foot.
In an cases tbs supplementary finger or toe
is a twin Of the little one, of perfectshape,
and ests quite independently of the otherb..
The hands and feet are very elegantly
shaped, and no one would notice at first
sight that strange peculiaSity.
The young lady examined by DR.. Broch,
far from being ashamed of her dozen of
fingers, displays them with no little degree
of pride, for they are delicate, slender, ta-
pering, rosy and decidedly pretty. She has
gloves made expressly for her and. as she is
an excellent muscles, she has invented a
lingering Of her own, BY which she can pro-
duce effects which other pianists with ordi-
nary hands could never realize. They keep
fondly in that singular family the portrait
of one of the ancestors of that, young lady,
painted by no less a master than glorious
Rubens. The artist has faithfully drawn
and painted the handsome and phenomenal
hands, with six fingers, of his model

Revival of the Reisn of TerroyIn PoAand.


Revival Of the Reisn Of TerrCy in POlund.
The following is an extract sf lester,
dated WILMA, November, 1860, and published
in the Ridd0mosei POtskie:
We live in a reign of terror. Tbs days oS
Nicholas have revived in all their horror,
and no one can say what will happen sn the
morrow. The Commission of Inquiry has
again been established, under the Presidency
Of Col. Hallar, the chief of the Governors
cffice. Searches in private houses are Ne
queBt. The local Chief of Police, Wasilev,
midnight, with all his suite, tumbling about
papers and books, and looking into the.
pockets and beds Of the inhabitants.
Men are sent TO prison for having in their
possession forbidden books, which have been
for the last few years in uninterrupted circu-
lation about the country, and have found
readers among all classes, from the students
of the universities to the 1empioyes Of the
police. All kinds of books and pamphlets
are being looked for. A few days ago, Ass,
the bookseller, in whose shop bundle of
foreign publications was found, was arrested.
In former letter informed you Of the
Imprisonment Of Ladislas JanknoWski. The
fate of that gentleman greatly interests all
here, for every one is convinced of his inno-
cence and of his worthy, immaculate char
acter. He had boys school, and by dint of
only himself, but also his old father and his
two younger brothers, who are being edu-
Gated at the University. The reason of this
Imprisonment was, that last year man lived
at his house, named Wisniewski, tutor, in
whose possession were found sundry patriotic
verses. Many hope that eventually jan
kowsk will be restored to liberty; but in
any case his career has been stopped and his
means of life taken from him, and that they
call favor.
AS have already said that the days ol
Nicholas have returned, need not add that
the days of Herod have come too, and that

students have been imprisoned RomeI

pupil at the Dworzanski Institute, who was
| accused of having put out some lamps in the
windows on the day Of the arrival of the
Czar, was, by order of the principal of the
school, so pitilessly beaten with rods that
next day the poor boy became insane. Al
these prosecutions are the consequence o
an order of the Emperor to inquire into con
spiracies which never did or could have
existed.
