The PRICE OF Provisions AND TIE PRICE OF
Cold Every corner grocery man in the city
aud adjacent places has been in the habit of
increasing his scale Of prices for groceries and
provisions according to the rate gold is selling
at. The higher gold is quoted, the higher is
the rate per pound for all sorts OF family pro-
visions. There is no limit to the upward
price; but when gold tumbles down, and the
value of greenbacks advances in correspond
ing degree, the corner groceryman fails to
notice the fact, and still adheres to his ad-
vanced standard Of prices. 1t is bad rule
that win not work both ways; and it is but
reasonable TO expect that, if these retail deal
ers take advantage Of a rise in gold to increase
their prices, they should have the magnanim-
ty to reduce those prices when gold falls.
This complaint has been particularly applica-
Bile TO the past week. when, notwithstanding
the reduction in the rates for gold, as compared
with the week before, retail dealers continue
to enhance their prices, pour more water and
sand into their sugar. and adopt other tricks
OF trade, all Of which tend to extract money
from the poor mans pocket and create suffer

THE NAVY DEPARTMFNT-Every one sees the
criminal Encouragement Of the navy. The re-
publican papers give place in their columns to
paci'y Of the Secretary and the corruptness of
his subordinates Tire cond ton OF the navy s
thus recognized by the whole public mind,
without respect to party; but yet Mr.. Lincoln
holds on to Welles in The old way, and takes no
notice of this universal expression Of public
opinion. What our navy does it does in spite
Of the constituted authorities. There is elm
gular illustration Of this in the case of our re-
cent glorious triumph in the English Channel.
Both Captain Winslow and Lieutenant Thorn.
ton had offended the Department and were Ia
bad odor with it when appointed to their pre-
sent ship. They were appointed to her on that
account Both those gallant officers were sent
to Coventry. In the Kearsarge; for the Depart
ment never dreamed that the Kearsarge would
catch tue Alabama; but II intended that neither
Wiuslow nor Thornton should have any of the
Ordinary chances for glory or prize money and
So as itsupposed, put them out of the way.
We learn that tho swiftest ship in the North
Atlantic squadron has just been put out OF the
blockade service in a singular way by the order
of Admiral Lee. Her captain is one OF the Adj
miral's many relatives. Out at sea on cruise
she would get what she could capture; but at
Wilmington her commander, in virtue Of his
rank, gets percentage on what all vessels at
that point capture. So she is ordered to stay
there. Thus nepotsm is permitted to damage
the national interests.

A DRAMA OF PEAcE.-we call upon the great
American dramatist, young or old. hackneyed
or untried, whoever be is, wherever he ID, or
whatever he is at, to write splendid comedy
for the fall season on the subject Of peace
and the recent peace negotiations and negotia-
tors at Niagara Peace Is q subject worthy the
Hottest Inspirations OF the poet; and OF course
the great American dramatist 10 q poet. IL
will put his eye in the finest OF frenzies, this
noble theme; it will stir the roots Of his hair,
burst the final button off his shirt, and startle
the empty echoes Of his pocket with the rattle
Of new greenbacks. Let him borrow pens and
paper and get to work at once. He has great
opportunity. How finely he can contrast the
nimble, perceptive and Eighty Colorado with
the burly and bull-headed Sanders. How admi-
rablc will be Colorado's reproacbes to the Presi-
dent, his hy-pIay with the Emperor on Mexico,
and his admiration Of Greeley. Colorado's
latent satire on the republicans will be fine,
too, especially when it eliminates in that
dreadful denuncation OF Seward, Sumner,
Chase, Fessenden and the rest that "Horace
Greeley is the most reliable statesman In the
republican party" o. course the play will not
have in it many such exquisite sarcasms as that;
but If II has six such 1t will be better than any
thing in Aristophanes. Colorado is beautiful,
and we suppose that Mrs. Wood might play the
part, unless Colorado wanted to play it himself,
which he probably would; and II he would,
Wood wouldn't have to. We will not wan
tonly injure the reputation Of any actor by
saying that he could do justice to Greeley;
but no doubt person would be found. The
drama ought to be offered to all the managers
at once, and this might be done when they hold
their next congress to ok prices.

THE ARGUEILEs CASE IN SpArv.-Mr. Seward
will doubtless be Disguised 10 learn that his
subserviency TO the demands Of the Spanish
representative. NJ. Tsssara, on the giving up Of
Senior Arguelles, has drawn from the press Of
Madrid and throughout Spain Che most severe
blame. These journals state openly that their
government had no right to make any such
demand, and that they are at a loss to compre-
bend Mr.. Stewards motives in according it. In
this matter our Minister Of State has offended
all parties, and we hope that this result will
servo AZ q lesson to those Of our authorities
who feel inclined to pander to undue preju-
dices or by an overstrc!ch Of authority to
seek to gain the good will Of other Powers.
