NEWS SUMMARY.

NEW YORK, May 70.
The joint committee on printing to-day
opened q large number Of bids for engraving
and illustrations for the Patent Office. Re.
ports from Boston, Buffalo, New York and
Philadelphia, no awards had been made.
A telegram from Senator Wright's son,
received this morning, says the Senator il
much better.
1t is understood that Mrs. Davis came here
to urge that her husband be transferred from
Fortress Monroe to some prison port further
North, where there is less danger from the
prevalent diseases, suggested by the surgeon
who made the report to the PRESIDENT OF
Davis health, as being prevalent at Fortress
Monroe.
The court of inquiry in the case of Pay
Master Paulding have concluded their inves-
tipation and rendered their finding. They
find Colonel Paulding guilty of the technical
violation of Pay Master General orders cir
cular forbidding the transfer of Government
funds from one bank to another, but acquit
him of any corrupt motive or personal inter-
est in making the transfer. He will probably
be tried by court Martial for this violation Of
orders. His friends assert he must have
such trial In order that all the facts may be
brought ont and the responsibility placed
where it belongs.
The Tribune's Washington special says the
House Judiciary committee are still engaged
upon the case of Davis and Clay and their
completely in the assassination and other
plots. Considerable testimony has been
taken the last few days as to their guilt.
There is no doubt of it in the minds of lead
ing members, and all reports to the contrary
are untrue

The Post. money article says the chief thing Of
importance in Wall street is the frmness given to
5-2os by the report that from the rise in gold the
foreign houses who had imported them from
Europe cannot sell them at profit, and are conse
quently re-exporting them. The loan market is
active at per cent; but at this rate borrowers
can get all the accommodation they want. The
stock market is dull, but firm, with general i'm
provement both in government and in the general
list. After the Board Erie was quoted 67!; Read

The pressure for money ia not SO severe yester-
day, but il is fully UP to the means Of lenders.
The sub-treasury received to day about four and
half millions from the banks. account Of gold

The banks anticipate greater rise to morrow. the

Is oversold and several parties have failed to make

There is very active movement in the cotton

scarcity of bonds among dealers, the price viii

topay profit upon the shipment. This move
ment tends to prevent gold from rising above no.

How to Prepare wool for Market.


The Detroit Post has the following remarks,
which producers would consult their own interests
by acting upon:
Farmers, when "unwashed" wool is spoken Of
are very apt to place literal construction up
on the term. Commercially speaking it, means
the wool of sheep that have been washed and then
allowed to too long before clipping. They
should be clipped within seven or ten days of
washing, at the outside. If not, although the
wool may look clean and nicc-owng to the re-
moyal of the dirty, gingy particles by water-the
oily accumulation will be SO great that the fleece
will be actually heavier than if taken off before
washing. Farmers should not be deceived by the
light color or clean appearance of the fleece in
such cases, because SO lar rs appearance is con-
cerned the oil will make difference should ever
so great quantity be present. From wool in
which the above Objectionable characteristic is
apparent, buyers insist upon deducting one-third
Of the market value Of wool in good condition. It
will therefore be that the point is one worthy
the serious attention Of the grower From bucks
feeces in fair condition, viii be deducted
and from bucks aecces unwashed, one half. The
practice has been INDUCED in to some little extent
of taking tags" and the feeccs of dead sheep, and
putting them inside of good feeces. This is q
glazing fraud, and if detected the entire lot, good
and bad, will be classcd and treated as Gun
washed"
Another reprehensible practice, heretofore adj
Fefedto IL that OF using RACK twinc or lnordnate
quantities, either white black. The proper
way il to tic up feeces with light, flexible Irvine,
of which two strings each way is amply sufficient.
The leaving three or four yards of the material
dangling is careless practice, and should be
avoided In the case of good wool tied up badly,
such large deductions those above averted to
are not insisted on, but at all events 2M3e differ
encc win be made-a difference worthy the atten-
ton Of our farmers, especially if the market should
rule little dull, in which case nice wool, neatly
put up, will be sure Of . market whether anything
else sells or not.

Mr.. Schenck said he had no power over
the subject.
Mr.. Banks asked Mr.. Schenck to state the
difference and the original bill.
Mr.. Schenck made the explanation ana
said the substitute made no provision Tor
bounty to substitutes. The committee think
ing that as general thing they had not
proper claims against the Government, there
mirht besome exception in cases where men
from unself;sh and humane motives went into
the army in place of drafted men, but Con-
eress could only legislate for classes, and
such exceptional cases could safely be left to
the care of neighborhoods.
Mr.. Ward, Of New York, suggested that
as this bill allowed bounties to
colored soldiers and as under the
existing law, the loyal masters Of
coIored men who had joined the army were
also allowed bounty, the effect should be
that double bounties shall be paid in such
cases.
Mr.. Schenck admitted that such might be
the case, but that the difficulty might be
remedied by the repeal of the law in question,
or my an amendment of the present bill In
the Senate.

ST. Louis, May 25.
The proceedings of the Old School Assem-
bly, to-day consisted of representation and read
ing of the report of the committee on the
Louisville Presbytery case. The report re-
views the declaration and testimony put forth
by that body and considers it evidences OF an
organized conspiracy against churches, and
concludes with resolutions which declares the
Presbytery Eof Louisville desolved, d new
Presbytery constituted to be called the same
name, occupy the same territory, land have
care of the same churches. Said Presbytery
to be composed of as many minister's and
elders as shall subscribe to the disapproval of
the declaration and testimony Of the General
Assembly. All ministers of the late LOUIS
vile Presbytery who do not apply for admis-
sion to the New Presbytery and subscribe to
the above disapproval within two months
from its organization. their pastoral relations
with the churches under the care of this as
sembly shall be Dissolved. The assembly
disclaims any intention or disposition to dis
turb the existing relations of the church and
ruling elders, or private members. but rather
protect them in the enjoyment of their rights
and privileges in the churches, and their
choice against men who would seduce them
into an abandonment of the heritage of their
father.
DIR. +. Z. Humphrage offered substitute

timony and urging the Louisville Presbytery
to forbear farther agitations of the subject,
and to return to its loyalty to the church, and
report to the next General Assembly its ac

decided upon by the assembly at the evening
session.
DIR. Thomas made strong speech in favor
