THE WOOL TRADE.

The wool trade in the East has not We
recovered from the shock it, in common
with all other trade, received some weeks
since by stringency in the money market
and doubt as to the financial policy Of
the Government. In New York the
Economist says the prevailing feature OF
the market is continued dullness." and
concessions would have to be made bv
holders if pressed to SELL The sales of
the week footed up about 300 900 lbs
ranging from 60 to 75c., the highest fgure
being paid for Ohio wool
In Boston, the Bulletin says that. with
a tight money market and goods moving
slowly, wool has been rather quiet during
the week. Manufacturers are holding off
and will not stock up with material until
they see what effect the money pressure
is likely to have upon prices. The sales
for the week were little over a half a
million, at the previous range from so to
8z3c. Some lots of choice Southern Ohio
and Pennsylvania sold at Soc, while me-
dunn and fine from these States ranged
from 724 to 78c.
In Philadelphia, the sales for the week
were light, and the demand mainly for
medium and finer grades, and the range
from SO to 78c. Alot of Ohio and Penn
sylvania half blood sold at 723e. On the
low grades the Commercial List reports
unsettled and dropping prices.-OhSo|

Hon. PRESTON KING, Collector of the
port of New York, committed suicide last
Monday morning, by leaping from ferry
boat while crossing the North river. He
was an eminent statesman, but recently
retired from the U. S. Senate, and had
only a short time since accepted the posi-
tion of Collector. He was a man of ex-
emplary habits and strict integrity, aged
about Sc years, and bachelor. His
health had been failing, and the perplex-
tiles of the Office were SO great that it is
supposed his reason was impaired thereby
and the act committed during fit of tenn
porary insanity. He left his hotel early
Ia the morning, avowedly for week, de-
clining the company ola friend who offer
ed to 60 with him. He called at a store
and purchased 25lb. bag of shot which
he took with him, aud doubtless had it
about his person when he jumped over
board At date of last advices the body
had not been recovered. :

The last number of the Newark Amer.
icGn gives the following particulars of a
recent case of arbitrary arrest in that
county, which seems to have been made
under direct authority of the President
Of course this act will be heartily en-
dorsed'' by his Democratic admirers when
their next convention meets
On last Friday Martin Baker, of Hart
ford Township, was arrested as deserter
by Capt. Sinnet, and on Saturday he was
taken to Columbus and turned over to
the authorities at Camp Chase. Baker
was drafted in the fall of "a, and by mis-
take reported in Canada. He returned
in June, and reported at the polls in
Hartford township at the last October
election, His vote having been refused
proceedings were instituted against the
Trustees. as our readers will remember.
The arrest was made by order of Presi-
dent johnson.

The execution of Wirz took place last
Friday, in accordance with his sentence
He was cold -blooded, heartless wretch
and though acting under orders of supe-
rlors IN the general management of the
prison at Andersonville, yet he had COM
mltted crimes enough to have forfeited a
dozen lives such as his in acts of cruelty
and barbarism for which the plea of act
ing under orders could not be truthfully
urged. The execution, richly deserved
as it was, has called forth the usual de-
nunciations of the Court that convicted
hlm and the President who approved the
sentence, from that class of papers that
from the commencement of the rebellion
up to the present time have omitted no
opportunity to assail the Government and
those acting under its authority, and to de-
tend and apologize for traitors under apv
and all circumstances. They seem to re-
gard every punishment inflicted for crimes
connected with or growing out of the re-
belllOn as an attack on their party organ
ization, and denounce those through
whose agency it is inflicted accordingly
They were wild with rage when the as
sassination eonspirators were executed
and declared one of the first objects of
their party should be, when they come in
to power, to have the President and all
others officially connected with the con-
vlctlon and execution arraigned for muir
der-and every subsequent trial and com
Vlction by military commission has caused
new demonstration of their malignant
rage.

A telegraphic dispatch from Columbia
South Carolina, announces the passage.
by the Legislature of that State. of the
Constitutional amendment abolishinp
slavery, there having been but very little
opposition in either branch. Thus the
State that led off in rebellion inaugura.
ted in the interest of slavery is the first
to acknowledge the complete overthrow
OF the institution by voting for the Con-
stitutional prohibition. Though one of
the most rebellious of the States. she
seems more thoroughly subdued than apv
of her associates in rebellion, and more
ready than any of them to accept the re.
suit of the appeal to arms and conform
to the existing state of affairs. Her ac-
ton in this matter should put to shame
the Democracy of the North, who persist
in regarding the defunct institutionas still |
in existence and demanding thsir homage
and support as in days of yore when il
made and unmade public men and dis
oensed patronage and spoils with iber-
u hand to its Northern dsvotsoS,

JoHN r UeNnppsoN Unito,

JOHN B. HENDERSON, United States
Senator from Missouri, reports the fol
lowing as the precise words Of the P-esi-
dent to himself in regard to reconstruc-
ton and the elective franchise:
In that conversation he stated that in
has view the States attempting to secede
were still in the Union and always had
been; but slavery was practically abolish
ed IN those States, and must be entirely
so to secure the admission of their mem
bers into Congress: that they must adopt
the constitutional amendment destroying
slavery throughout the nation, and pro-
vide In their own Constitutions that here
after property shall not exist in man.
Taking his stand point that the States are
still In the Union, he does not think that
he can consistently interfere with the fran
chise In those States or in any other, that
Is, that he Scannot confer it upon persons
not enjoying it under the respective State
constitutions, as they existed before the
rebellion; but, as an individual, he desires
that the negro shall be enfranchised, and
would be gratifed to see the several con-
ventions extend the franchise to all per
sons of color who can read the Constitu-
tion of the United States in English aud
write their names, and also to all persons
OF color who own real estate valued at
not less than two hundred and fifty dol
lars, and who pay taxes thereon"
