OUR VLLAGE.-Our sprightly friend
of the Tn Weekly Republican amuses
himself and his friends at Last Chance
guleh, with occasional hints of our des-
perate condition at the metropolis. Our
complaint suits Us to o nicely; if we are
dying, we don't feel it and, in fact, some
of our daily paroxysms of vitality have
quite an inspiriting effect. Our Cillase
is rapidly filing up, and even expand
ing; empty houses are getting to be
very scarce, and new ones TOO common
for notice. Our streets ere FULL, and our
Helenaite friends have come over in
shoals, lately, not only to witness eur
destruction, but, from a fellow-fceling
and sympathy, exempli6ed by invest
ments in real estate and heavy leasehold
ventures. we conclude that they have
determined to share Our fate. We hear
that the coaches occasionally pay from
Helena as we'll as to it. We have been
surprised, as well as delighted, to wit
ness the great prosperity of our neigh
bors of the Prickly Pear, and should be
sorry to hear of more than average
development of the thorns incident to
such locality. We wish their substan-
tial stone buildings and narrow, though
crowded, streets, all the business they
are built for, and for ourselves will be
content with the prosperity that every
day grows more assured, and which
points with unwavering distinctness to
growing and solid advancement, herald
ing brilliant future.
With our hydraulic claims numerous
and very rich; our bedrock fiume now
only question of time and not of means
or of fact; quartz of the richest kind all
around US mills and capital arriving.
on the road and preparing for transmits
sion; eight or ten rich districts imme-
diately around US, of which this cilsage
is the base of supply Summit, the gold
centre OF Montana, at our door, and
scanned with auriferous crevices-we do
not despair of being overshadowed, even
by Helena. We have each our sphere.
Up to this date, Helena has had the big
share Of the population, and we of Vir-
ginia had similar upper hold on the
say traders and the theatrical
profession. Let there bemo strife among
us, for we are brethren and let us, for
the future, concentrate our energies,
with view to the prosperity of the Ter
ritory, whose wealth has furnished these
two marvels ofmining cities, and whether
q man hail from Cactusville, or the CITY
Of Rocks let it be our common pride to
acknowledge that we are alike citizens
Of Golden Montana, the Ophir of the
West.

The New York Dry Goods Market
ASSOCIATED Press OFFICE, !
NEW York. April 81

GENTLEMEN: 1 understand through
Nj. Craig that complaints are made by
Western jobbers that the Dry Goods Re
port furnished TO the Western Press is fire.
quently incorrect and thereby a source of
annoyance to their business. Mr.. Craig
has referred them to you, and you will
doubtless hear from them shortly.
The report is furnished, as you know,
gratis, according to an agreement made
with Mr.. Knox, with the single condition
that the Dry Goods Exchange shall re-
ceive the same credit as is given BY the
New York city papers. 1t is charged that
the quotations of this report are often
lower thsn the actual market price at the
respective dates, and by Implication that
the privilege is being used TO influence
the market or benefit certain dry goods
firms here.
L have felt it to be my duty TO see the
Superintendent of the exchange, and to
learn his side OF the story, and report TO
you, that you may be better prepared TO
meet the question. Mr.. Yerbe has re-
duced his remarks TO writing, which are
substantially:
LIST. That his report is absolutely and
invariably truthful, as he can prove by
the books Of the largest firms in this city.
I'd That Western jObbers want him to
send quotations higher so as not TO tempt
buyers to New York.
Sd, That he has no interest in sending
false quotations. being paid a salary of
$4,000 a year for his services besides COM
missions.
4th. That furnishing the report is no
particular benefit TO him, and he does not
care how soon We drop it.
The truth Of the matter, 1 suppose TO
be, that Western jobbers buying here of
late have suffered a heavy decline on their
goods before they were offered in the IVES
tern market which the wires have reveal
ed much to the chsgrin Of the buyers here.
The Dry Goods Exchange although not
patronized by all the heaviest dealers here,
has still on its books three hundred very
strong firms, and issues a printed circular |
made up to twelve o'clock daily, and the
evening report for the Western Press has
the advantage Of any changes in the mar
ket after that hour.
Mr.. Yerbe pretends 10 have a good deal
Of testimony from Western houses that
the report is an advantage 10 Western
houses, who are enabled to sell by its
being only of domestic fabrics)
and make up the difference on imported
goods.
As / suppose it TO be your desire TO have
a faithful report, for which some adequate
source is to be responsible, you may be
able TO determine the value Of the pres
snt report, by submitting it 10 the judg-
nent Of the leading houses in Cincinnati,
Chicago and Detroit.
I have the honor to be, very respectful
your obedient servant,

Agent Western Associated Press.

The Cholera Ship.

The following private letter from a
young lady passenger on board the
steamship Tirginia throughout her recent
fatal voyage and her detention in our
harbor will be read with vivid, painful in
tereSt.
OF course, her structures on our quar-
sntine arrangements are harsh but are
they not nstural2 The Burning Of our
Quarantine buildings on Staten Island

0 New Jersey to allow US to reconstruct
them on the desolste sandpit known as
Sandy Hook, is scarcely less inhumanly
selfish and covardly. These do not fairly
excuse, but they explain, our long delay
in rebuilding. We have not rebuilt our
quarantine establishment simply because
we could find no place whereon to do it
but one which New Jersey meanly refuses
US. And our new Health Commission
had not time to prepare for the appre-
hendel visitation before it was actually
upon Us. Such is the simple truth. And
now TO the letter;

what Kefchum Is Do.ur.

of young Ketchum:
For the satisfaction of these who wish
special information concerning this unfor-
tunate young man, we state that he is
serving as book-keeper in the shoe shop at
Sing Sing State Prison that his behavior
has won the good will of all about him !:
that he breakfasts in his cell, but is allow
ed to eat dinner and supper in the work
room with the foreman and outside helm
ers, who bring their dinners with them. at
which meals he has the best of fare that
his parents and wife come often 10 see
him that he receives and answers many
letters; and that the prospect is that he
will come out better fitted for business
than ever, and then have his revenge on

rule Of silence generally maintained in

ilege, being looked on as the victim Of cir

Agsrsgsts rsdaetion------- -----.s A,ss2,e 0
Another most e~xcellen feature of the
bill as viii be observed by those who ex-
anime It, is that it tends to simplify tax
alton by reducing the number of arti-
Giles taxed Enough has not yet been done
in this direction, but we thank the Com
mittee for the step they have taken of ex-
empting a large number Of articles from
all taxation, and making up the entire loss
TO the revenue thus occasioncd at a single
stroke, by q tax on u great export, cot
ton. We thauk the Committee, too. for
the excellent Judgment which they have
shown in making up the list of exemptions.
Almost every one Of these exemptions
viii be felt as a practical benefit by the
people. Almost every n either relieves
some of the useful arts from the incubus
of taxation, or makes some common and
necessary article cheaper. Another oc-
casion fOr-congratulating the Committee
is In the manner in which they have reduc-
ed the taxation and expense of assessing
and collecting the revenue. The worst
part of our internal Revenue system
that which caused it to be sptly character
lied as the Internal Revenue system
was the vexatious, expensive and compar-
stively unremunerstive tax on seine arti-
cles Of personal property. Under the old
law, the ASSESSOR came bluRdering into
your parlcr 10 count your pianos, unlocked
your stable door tOexamine your carriage,
stuck his fingers in your pocket after your
watch, znd his nose in your pantry to scan
your plate. All this is changed under the
new system.
The reductions are also good, though
not as great as We had hoped for in some
cases. Those on clothing and boots and
shoes will be a great relief TO the people
The total amount Of reduction under
the present notifications is estimated to
reach nearly fifty millions. There still
remain t~hirty-fve millions more to be
taken of, if the report of the Revenue
Commission is TO be followed-and it
seems to have been followed in the main,
in the bill under consideration. Probably
the greater part of the remaining thirty
Eve millions will be taken of in the
forthcoming revision of the tariff. To
make this reduction possible, the commit
tee have determined to lay a heavy tax
on cotton. The revenue TO be derived
from this source, according to the estimate
of the Commission, will not be less than
$40, OO0, 900, and inssmuch as the sum OBJ
tanned from cotton during the fiscal year
1865 was only 81, 772,O 900, it appears that
this single tax nearly compensates for the
abrogation or reduction of n or two
hundred smaller taxes, which were veXa-
tious and expensive in collection. Inss-
much as the tax on two-thirds of the cot
ton crop will be paid by foreign purchasers
and consumers, it is safe to estimate that
s26,OOO,oOO will be actually gained to the
country. British cotton-factors, who
sympathized with the South and helped
to increase the burden of our debt and
taxation, may thus be made to pay hand
somely toward liouidating the one and
tightening the ether.

me ChIcogo Times Attacking General
Grant

NEnANa
The Chicago Times, the bittersst Cop
perhesd sheet of any inference or clrcula-
ton in the North, recently published an
article comparing General Grant n his
soldiers 10 Probst the murderer of the
Beering family in Philadelphia, and in
sisting, ironically, that the latter deserves
honor rather than death for initiating the
example Of the Lieutenant General. The
Times has an especial reason for this
atrocious attack on General Grant, aside
ftom the general hatred which every
Copperhead bears toward every soldier.
1t will be remembered that the Richmond
Examiner was suppressed last winter by
an order issued by General Terry. Pol
lard, the rebel editor, called upon General
Grant, who CURLY refused to rescind the
order. President johnson interfered, and
upon his order the Examiner was allowed
te resume publication by General Grant.
But General Grant, in approving General
Terry's order, told Pollard that, in his
opinion, not only the Richmond Erani-
iHer, but also the Chicago Times, Cincin-
natl Enquirer and other Northern Cop
perhead papers ought to be suppressed.
We do not now remember whether the
General honored the reconstructed organ
in this city by mentioning it by name.
Pollard, upon resuming publication, pro-
baby to show that he was nc meane
rebel than these Northern Democratic
brethren OF his, published the substance
of his conversation with General Grant.
Upon reeeiptof the Richmond Examiner
containing this statement the editor of
the Chicago Times wrote a letter to Cen
eral Grant, asking him if Pollard's state
ment was true, and attempting to pro-
cure q retraction from the General. To
this letter General Grant never deigned n
reply, treating it with. the silent contempt
it deserved.
Fooled in obtaining a retraction of Gen
eral Grants published word that the
Times ought to be suppressed for its tres-
son, and that he (Grant) would suppress
it if he had the proper authority, the
Times seeks its revenge in malicious abuse
of the great chieftain-abuse that proves,
if any proof was needed, that the General
was right in his estimate of the character
Of that sheet.
