Mr.. PRESLEY Delivers His Farewell
Address.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 1S.-Rev. DR..
James Prestley, recently suspended
from relations with the United Presby-
terrain Church, charged with cruelty to
his wife and family, using indecent and
blasphemous language, maintaining
improper relations with females, deliver
ed short farewell address to his con-
gregation, in which with disclaiming
complaint against the action of Presby-
terry upon the positive evidence of three
mistresses, while testimony on his be-
half of his aged father kind brother
and affectionate children was only
negative and necessarily Of no avail,
he defied the world to prove that he
was guilty of indecent or vulgar Ian.
guage, which he abhOrred above all
things. He thanked God that he had
not been found guilty of adultery. The
sentence of suspension did not affect his
relation as pastor of the church, as any
dissolution must be at the request OF
his congregation. He asked them not
to act hastily, but thoughtfully and
prayerfully. He prayed to God that he
might be allowed to remain here and
live down the calumny and reproach
heaped upon him. This was the last
time he would appear in public until
his suspension or removal. The congre,
gregation was visably affected, he still
having friends and adherents among
them. Mrs. Prestley has sued fol
o divorce.

Review Of the New York Wholesale

Review Of the New York wholesale
Market.
NEW YORK, Nov. IL.
The wholesale produce market has
baen much excited during the present
week. owing to great depression in busl
ness: four extensive pork dealers have
been compelled TO suspend; the Hour
market has been comparatively quiet;
the arrivals both present and prosPec-
five have been on the increase, which
has induced buyers TO hold of TINS
month: dealers in gold have produced a
depression and much irregularity; fam
ily extra are in less supply than last
year. The supply of low grades has IN
creased, but it is still moderate for sea-
son: to-day the market was less active
and 25 cents Dbl lower; there has been
A good degree of activity in wheat mar
ket owing to the liberal arrivals, but at
variable rates, the arrivals insprospect
are larger, but as the season Is advanced
there is little prospect of an accumula-
ted stock at close of the season; present
supply is 100000 bushels; prices have
declined during the week from to lOc
bushel. and the market closes unsettled
There has been a good demand for
barley for the home trade since the first
of September. We have exported CO..
900 bushels, which is an excess of half
of the crop over last year. There are
now in canals $4,000 bushels, mostly
Canada. The present stock is ,2OO,OOo

New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, November 10.

NEW YORK, November 10.
The dry goods market opened this
morning more quiet and steady than for
several days past. The bear contest dur
ing the last three days has resulted i'll q
decline of sails per cent. upon almost all
and to-day I'd y" the bear feeling seems to
hava assunad a more sattl.l tnnA. pos
sibly only TO catch breath from more
desperate effort next week. The irregu
lar reduction in prices has caused q wide
variation in quotations at the different
houses and with the still declining ten
dsncy of cotton and gold, prices are still
quoted lower. Business has been very
unsatisfactory Notwithstanding the en-
deavors to attract agents, and agents
seem to be be utterly i'll hands OF job
bers, if they do not second the efforts at
dispOsing of dry goods, which has re-
suited in the decline. The reduction
has been most marked i'll several makes
of bleached goods.
Prints and standard browns, and de-
lains, there are, however, no goods
which have escaped the general on
slaught. Agents have stood up man
fully in their efforts to maintain the
prices of brown shcetings and shlrtings
and save the interest of manufacturers,
but the absence of business and a gen
eral tendency of all goods toward an
anti-war basis has compelled material
reduction in prices, and although there
seems more quiet to-day the market is
far from settled. There is no further
decided change in prices of standards to
notice to-day, but there are very few
sales. The prices of prints had been
very much reduced during the last
three days, and are without attractive
demand.
Jobbers seem anxious to clear their
floors of goods, rather than to be able to
buy new supplies. Stripes and ticks,
and, i'll fact, almost all the other kinds
of cotton goods, are without any change
or variation from the general remarks
above worthy of detail. They have not
been the special objects Of attention,
like the leading articles of domestics.
The great reduction in the price of
WOODEN goods has caused rather more
demand, and especially for goods suita-
BILE for manufacturing into ready made
clothing for spring and summer wear.
The price of almost all wooden fabrics
in agents hands is now but little above
that of 1860, and the market is fast re-
turning to a settled condition.
Foreign goods have followed other
dry goods in the general decline, al
though there has been very fair bust
ness done during the last three days.
Auction sales have been better attend
ed, but prices have been very low. The
importation of foreign goods continues
high and it may be expected that'a bet
ter foundation for business will soon be
reached. Stocks are becoming reduced
A healthy reaction is not improbable at
an early day.

Special Dispatches Concerning the
Amnesiy-SuGruXc Proposition.

Special Dispatches Concerning the
Annesiy.sulrnxc Proposition.
New YORK, Nov. 1s.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent says: An
official denial is furnished of the story
that Chief Justice Chase had an inter
view with the President last night rela-
tive to the question Of extending uni
versal amnesty to the. South in return
for impartial Suffrage. His interview
related to the causes for the delay in
the trial of JEFF. Davis. Judge Chase
was not present last night with the
Cabinet as stated.
A Herald Washington special says:
Chief Justice Chase is at the White
House again this evening, in c0nsulta-
ton with the President upon the sub
jects of compromise measures which the
leaders of the principal parties are now
arranging upon. The compromise IS
said to confer to the people OF the
South, general amnesty in consideration
of their accepting universal suffrage
with qualification, either OF property
OF intelligence. 1t is believed that this
measure will be received by all parties.
The President seems inclined to give the
subject fair and full consideration.
The Cabinet meeting to-day was attend
ed by all the members, with the excep-
ton of the Attorney General, who is on
a visit to New York. The meeting
lasted several hours.
The Times Washington special says
that Chief Justice Chase was again
with the President tonight and re-
manned with him until late hour. His
interview with Mr.. johnson relates to
the proposition mentioned in my last
nights dispatch, proposing general
amnesty in consideration for impair
tial suffrage. Gov. Swami, and several
members of Congress were also IN
Washington to holdinterviews with the
President, but the whole evening was
spent in the consultation with Judge
Chase. The rest of the visitors failed TO
see Mr.. johnson. The amnesty-sutfrage
proposition meets with almost universal
approval from the representatives OF all
parties here assembled.
The Posts Washington special says:
Conflicting rumOrs are afiOat respecting
Mr.. Chase's second interview with the
President. 1t is said that the question
of impartial suffrage was discussed, but
all the statements thus far made are spec
ulltions, and unworthy Of credence, as
neither Mr.. Chase or the President has
communicated word of the con-
versatiOn. All that is known is that
three or four individuals, Democrats
and Republicans, have advised the
President to recommend impartial suf'
frage to the South in his message.

Extensive Revenue Frauds.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Government
Revenue officials in Brooklyn are in
pcndons character, which have y.s, b bseH
ness of distilling whisky and alcohol.
A short time ago two distilleries were
seized, one in Bleesville, Long Island,
and the other in Brooklyn, both owned
by Company of Germans. Bohm Il
Argues being at the head of the matter,
have compromised with the government
by the payment of S1i3,O00, for the re-
lease of the distilleries. The offenders
then went tn work ostensibly tn manu-
facture burning fluid, on which there is
no duty; but the government detectives
hare been watching them closely, and
Yesterday these distillerics, as well as
two Others in New York, and one in New
Jersey, owned by the same Company
were seized. 1t appears that the manu-
facture of burning fluid was sham,
that alcohol was distilled and then
mixed with about ten percent. of spirits
of turpentinc, and other drugs, which
gave it this appearance of burning
tiuid. In this condition it was
taken from the distillery. BY q
simple chemical process the turpentine
and other mixtures were afterward ia
ken from the casks and the remainder
was alcohol, worth + dollars per gallon
On each gallon the Government had
been detrauded of two dollars. 1t is
calculated that during the twenty days
that the firm hasNbccn engaged in this
business its members have cleared $500
900. Another fraud of similar charac,
ter has come to light in Brooklyn. A
special committee from Washington
will investigate the matter next week
In this ease former Government As.
SCISSOR is charged with having formed
ring, composed of United States de-
tectives and officials connected with
the inspection department, by which a
large number of distilleries have been
run without paying any revenue TO the
Government for tw" years pasts. The
The principal operator in the matter is
reported tn have made million and Il
half of dollars during the time he has
been engaged i'll it.
