Wool Trade.

The big wool sale in New York last week
under the auspices of Messrs. Southwick,
Sheble q Greene, and the great fall in gold,
have called q halt in the wool trade: and 1t is
hard to determine to-day precisely what the
article is worth. Taking the sale as n
criterion, from 81 to 81 O5 would be the
range in the New York market-but an
auction sale is never safe rule to be guided
by. Lots sold at the sale, were re-sold i'm
mediately after for an advance of from 3 to
&c, and 81 10 was paid for some lots
There is no disputing the fact, that the wool
market is flat and dead for the present; and
If the decline in gold begcts decline in all
lines Of merchandies, wool must, until the
present supply is swept Out-that Is, the
supply among manufacturers, and specu-
lators who must realize and will sell at any
price-show weak state. In Boston the
market is as flat as in New York. The
Ploughmdn reports, for the week ending on
the 22d The sales of the week have been
about $4,000 lbs. fleece and pulled, mostly
fleece, at 81 to 81 0S, including 47,0O0 lbs.
Michigan at 81 05; $4,000 lbs. choice New
York at 81 o.; $4,000 lbs. choice Ohio on
terms not transpircd, but mot over 81 05.
The decline in high grades has been from
20 to 25c from the highest point, but the
low and medium grades have not varied
more than to 10c, and are now worth
about as much as the finer descriptions.
Nothing doing in Canada Combings; this
description still continues to be held pretty
firm at 81 80 to 81 40 and more, as to quality,
but manufacturers are disposed to keep out
of the market as long as possible.-Ohi

General Hooker.

The Republicans are making great noise
and buster about Fighting Joe Hooker be-
ing In favor of the reelection of Abraham
Lincoln. We published a few days since a
dispatch from our Albany correspondent
announcing that General Hooker declared
himself in iavor of the election of McClel-
Ian on the platform advised and urged by
The Herald. That statement Gen. Hooker
authorized to be made. Since then the Re-
publican leaders have made great fuss
over him, and, by pressing the idea that his
presence at Republican meeting would
have a great effect upon suppressing the
rebellion, prevailed upon him to attend a
Republican meeting. in Brooklyn. But
when there, what did he say? His speech
was simply one for the suppression of the
rebellion and the restoration of the Union.
Now, Mcclellan has, in his letter of accept
ance, placed himself upon strong Union
platform. Hooker's speech, therefore, would
have been just as appropriate at a Mcclellan
meeting. He made no denial of our state
ment. The fact of the matter is, General
Hooker, like the other Generals of the ar
my, is wrapped up in the idea of crushing
out the rebellion, and takes but little inter-
est in who is elected President. The Re-
publicans are therefore making great ado
about very small affair.-Neio York Her.

October 3d.
nenth of Ex.GaoYcrnor Wood.


1t is our melancholy duty to announce the
death of Ex-Governor Reuben Wood, which
took place Saturday at Q o'clock, at Ever
green Place, Rockport.
Gov. Wood was 70 years old at the time
of his death. He came to this city from
New York in the year 1917, and entered
upon the practice of law. subsequently,
about 1910, he was appointed to the office
of Supreme Judge of the State of Ohio.
position which he filled with honor to him
self. In 1850, he was nominated by the
Democratic party for the office OF
Governor, and was elected by a heavy
majority, in the fall of that year. over
Judge johnson, the Whig candidate.
In September, 1851, the new Constitution
went into operation, which vacated his office
of Governor, and he was reelected by
10000 majority, in October following, for a
new term, commencing in January, 1852.
When the Democratic National Convention
met in 1852 to nominate candidate for the
Presidency, Governor Wood was spoken of
prominently in connection with that office.
In 1853 Gov. Wood was appointed United
States Consul to Valparaiso, where he serv-
ed for eighteen months with credit to him
self and his Government, when he resigned
and came home, leaving the Consulate in
charge of his son-in-law, George b. Merwin,
ESQ, who was vice-ConSul at that port.
Since his return home from Valparaiso,
Gov. Wood has resided on his beautiful
farm, known as Evergreen Place, in Rock
port, where he has lived like modern Gin
cinnatus, sharing with his workmen the la
bors of the farm and field.
He was universally beloved by all of his
acquaintances for his skind-heartedness and
many excellent traits. His conversational
powers were of the highest order, as the
many visitors at his hospitable mansion can
testify. His death will be regretted by a
large circle of friends and admirers.
The Governor leaves family consisting
of his widow and two daughters. Mrs. Geo.
B. Merwin. of Lakeside, Rockport, and Mrs.
Seabury Mastick, of San Francisco, Cali
fornia.
His funeral will take place at II o'clock
tomorrow TUESDAY morning), at his late
residence.

The following is the estimate of outstand-
ing claims to be paid before January ], 1865:

All this for "defending the State from in
vasion" when there was no invasion; and
had there been an invasion the State would
have been powerless to defend itself. Tt
suppress ssinsurrections" in Ohio when there
was no insurrection, and no prospect of one
If it took this enormous sum to 'defend the
State" for one hundred days when there
was no invasion of the State, how much
would it require, under BRoUGH's manage
ment, to defend the State when It was inva-
ded, or in insurrection? But admitting
for the sake of reasoning, that BRoUGH
would have been justified in his lawless
course If he thought he could ''put down
the rebellion in the hundred days" what
justification has he now, after twice one
hundred days have passed, and therebellion
is as rampant as ever? Was he deceiving
the people when he said, "Give me this
money to use it at my discretion,
and I'll put down this hideous re-
bellion?" Was he humbugging the
people then for the purpose of getting
the money? Or was he such prodigious
fool as to suppose that he could do in one
hundred days, with one million of money,
and thirty thousand men, what three years
of war, millions of men, and billions OF
money had failed to accomplish? We be-
lieve that BRoUGH is not a fool-it would
appear from this that he is something
worse. ...
To say nothing of the many men, who,
unaccustomed to the hardships of war, un-
seasoned to them by drill or preparation,
being pushed into the deadliest localities in
the midst Of summer. yielded their lives as
a sacrifice to shoddy, and perished, in
effect, through the cruelty of their rulers
to say nothing of them--for what does
shoddy care for the suferings of the
brave, or the distresses of the poor?
it is timely to ask the over-tax-.
ed people of Ohio what they think of
transactions like these. A million |
of dollars to be dissipated in this way, to |
leave the State at last defenseless, and this
million to be taken in the form of loan
(SiOoOOO of which is already advertised
for), which is erenpt from taxation. Shoddy |
invests in the loan, and the investment is |
exempt from taxation; shoddy draws
the interest, while the poor, the farmer, the
mechanic and the small property holder, !
pays the interest out Of his hard earnings,
leaving the principal as heritage of op-
preston to his children. Have you not |
enough of taxes without having still more
onerous burdens imposed upon you by |
your own servants, to promote their pecu-
mary and political interests, and to carry
put their laundering enterprises, shallow
and swindling humbugs? I

From The National INTEL gencer of Sept. %. 1894
Hon. q. y. Cox. E

We find in the Cincinnati papers the re-
port of an eloquent speech delivered in that
city on the 18th instant by Hon. S. S. Cox,
on the occasion of the great ratification
meeting held in honor of the nomination OF
Mcclellan and Pendleton. The speech, we
need not say, was worthy of the occasion in
being worthy Of this able and spirited Rep
resentative from Ohio.
Our readers have already been informed
that in spite of his wish to withdraw from
the pending competition for a seat in Con-
gress, Mr.. Cox has been again renominated
by his constituents and has entered upon
the canvass with the vigor that character
ICES him in all his public discussions. As
no constituency ever had on the floor of the
House of Representatives member more
ready or able to vindicate their rights and
interests, it is to be hoped that they will, for
their own sake, as also for the cause which
he so faithfully represents, have the good
sense to continue Mr.. Cox In the position he
now holds with credit to himself and use
fulness to the country.

by abuses of military power, by the subver-
