hniam 18th.
- The New York Post of last Tuesday
says: "Prices of goods of all descriptions are
falling. The decline was great yesterday,
though some kinds of merchandise were
held by owners with considerable frmness'
So much effort to make sales has rarely
been put forth, and the disposition was
everywhere manifest to close transactions,
and to "realize." The concession in dress
goods is large-it extends to prints and all
fine fabrics; on standards and woollens it
is lightest. The fall in one month, on the
basis of some of the prices of goods sold
at auction yesterday, is reported to be fully
one hundred per cent, but this is, of course,
no criterion whatever of the market. The
average decline may not exceed twenty OF
twenty five per cent in that line. There
is very general feeling of Insecurity in
business circles, amounting almost to pan
ic in some quarters, and this adds to the
depression. Nobody questions the policy
of selling, but the public, and particularly
the men in business, do not readily buy.

"THE SITUATION"

The affairs of the country wear very muot
the same aspect presented heretofore. Con
gress still moves with painfully slow step:
towards the completion of the great worl
before it. Stubbornly adhering to its orig
iual programme for the South, and unable
from the division ofsentiment in the Senate
to carry the various Constitutional amend
neuts presented by the joint committee, il
hangs fre-wont move in any direction.
The formation of a new party upon the
basis of the Presidents policy, engrosse!
some attention. It's authors are working tc
secure a union of the conservative Repub
licans and Democrats, with scattering Of
others favoring some of their principles, and
consolidate the whole into new organiza
ton, that it is predicted will be able to con,
troll the country. The President and Cab
met are said to favor the design, and are
lending their advice and influence to secure
its success. The project originates with
certain New York politicians, and bears o
shadowy bow of promise for Us somewhere
in the indefinite future.
The resolution for amending the Consti,
tuition offered by STEWART in the Senate
and referred to the Committee on Recon.
struction, is attracting much comment. II
proposes, in effect, universal suffrage and
universal amnesty; offering the South par
don for all past offences and the complete
obliteraton of all its old sins if it will agree
to do certain things, which are
1st. To do away with all lexistipg distinc.
tions as to civil rights and disabilities among
the various classes of its population, by rea.
son either of race or color, or previous con
dition of servitude; I'd. To repudiate all
pecuniary Indebtedness which said State
may have heretofore contracted, incurred OIL
assumed in connection with the late unnat,
ural and reasonable war; I'd. To yield all
claim to compensation on account of the hb
Grafton Of its slaves; and 4th, To provide
for the extension of the elective franchise
to all persons upon the same terms and
conditions, making no, discrimination or
account of race, color or previous condition
of servitude Provided, That those who
were qualified to vote in the year 1860 by
the laws of the respective States shall mol
be disfrauchized by reason of any new test:
or conditions which have been or may be
prescribed since that year.

REPRESENTATION.

Some curiosity is manifested by the coun-
try towards the great efforts made by Con-
gress to fix the basis of representation, and
the singular want of uuauimity apparent
among the members. The facts are simple
and easily explained.
lst. The Constitution apportions repre-
seutation according to population, but allow
ing in the slave States FIVE slaves to rate as
three white persons. In the other States
where the negroes were all free, they rank
ed as white population in the basis of rep
resentation.
I'd. The result of the war has emanci.
pated all slaves, and the entire black popu-
lation of the South will, under the Consti.
tuition as it stands, be ranked as free white
population. The negroes do not vote, but
in the calculation they count alike with the
whites. The result will be an increase of
two-ffths in the House representation from
those States where slavery existed.
Sd. If Congress oonfers the right of suf-
frage upon the negro, so as to secure his
influence to the Republicans in Congress,
it must be done by amending the Constitu
ton. Such an amendment must be gener.
al, and confer the right of suffrage upon
the negro North as well as South. The
Northern people object to this. They are
willing aud anxious to see the negroes in
the South at the polls, but, the rule must
not apply to them. Hence the third OBJ
stacle.
4th. Another proposition-that of basing
representation upon the actual number of
voters-is equally Objectionable. The North
would by this, lose its count of the immense
foreign population that almost daily flows
into her seaboard cities. For every one
that now arrives, or has been in the coun.
try for the last FIVE years-whether natural
lied or not-goes to make up the quota for
representation. Amend the Constitution
so as to include only voters in such quota,
and they are excluded for five years, or un-
til the naturalization laws of the several
States admit them to the polls. The South
has but small population of unnaturalized
citizens, and .uld gain thereby, what it
would lose by the negroes not being inclu-
ded in the count.
The question is too knotty for even
THAD STEVENS to unravel ; and the wing
of Congress over which he holds sway, is
ready to give it up in despair. After four

ESCAPE OF STEVENS.

The Fenians in Ireland and America are
jubilant over the exploits of the Head
Centre of the organization, JAMES STE
VEINS, in efFecting his escape from Dublin.
STEVENS was arrested by the authorities
some months ago, and imprisoned in Dub
lin Castle. BY some means he managed
shortly afterwards to effect his escape, and
his friends spread the information abroad
that he had arrived in Paris. 1t now turns
out that be had never left Dublin after his
escape from prison, but quietly and secretly
remained to fan the fame of Irish revolt.
The police, however, could not be deceived,
and in time ascertained positively that be
had never left Ireland They we're soon on
his track and to their natural vigilance was
added the double incentive of Government
bribes, favors and honors to him, who
should secure his person. The trail soon
became warm, and at last he was tracked
from house to house, in the city of Dublin,
but the detectives, always arriving few
hours after their prey had left. Finally they
obtained information of bis intended de-
parture from Dublin, and while digesting
the report in council, the object of their
search was riding through the city in an
open carriage on his way to point from
whence he was to take shipping to another
country. The game was successfully play
ed, and STEVENS is now probably enjoying
himself in quietin the metropolis of France.
Fenianism in America is reported to be
wonderfully exhilirated by the exploit, and
will be satisfied with nothing less than a
fight.

SOLDIERS FROM YORK.

Believing that this District and State
would gladly perpetuate in some form, the
names of those who fell in the late struggle,
we design opening in the ENQUIRER, at an
early day, roll for this purpose. To eff,
feet this object we ask the assistance of all
officers who commanded companies, and
others able to furnish any information, in
furtherance of the design.
To all commanding officers of Companies
from this District, who are willing to assist
us, we would say, send US the name Of
the Company and Regiment to which it
belonged also the roll of the Company,
including the names of all who were ever
members Of it. Mark on the margin op.
posite the names of those killed, the battle
in which they fell; and the same Of those
who died from wounds, received in action
name all those who died of disease in
service-in each instance giving dates
The roll should, as far as practicable, be a
condensed history of the Company from its
organization to the close Of the war. We
will either publish the rolls in full, or such
facts from them as will be important to per-
petuate.
We earnestly ask the assistance of the
officers of this District in this work. Its
objects are important, and nearly every
family treasures the memory Of some name
that should live in the future. The roll
will be historic record of the soldiers from
this District, and as a matter of reference
alone, will be invaluable. Give US your
help.
