Prices Tumbling.

From every quarter we have advices o. declIn
ing prices, tor almost every article of produce:-
All speculative feeling is, for the time suspended
and operators act IT the markets were believed
to be bottomless. In New York, yesterday, beef
cattle sold at about what they cost in Kentucky,
and hogs brought less than they bought for
in Chicago or Cincinnati. Mess pork, which two
weeks ago sold as high $35 is down to $24, rs !;
lard has fallen from 22c to l4c for prime flour
wheat, rye, corn, oats, sc, have been falling
steadily, though still comparatively high. Dry
goods declining, are also groceries and
finally fancy railroad stocks, which going up
rapidly lew days ago, are tumbling.
This from New Yofk has its effect, of
course, throughout the west, and the great level
ng process Is everywhere experienced.
Our dispatches from Lexington, the great stock
market for central Kentucky, report decline in
sheep yesterday from &c to 43c; hogs, from SC to
5a6c; cattle, from Ease to 5a6c horses 90 per
cent, and mules 81 5 per mead.
There is bottom to the market, of course, and
the indications that it will soon be reached
The practice of boarding produce, which was
rendered practicable by the abundance and cheap.
ness of money, rendered this break in the market
inevitable. To such point had values been car
ried that exports were not only checked, but we
were actually remp porting leading articles of pro-
duce from England. Now the tables turned
and our foreign exports are increasing.
But the money being plenty. the probability Is
that violent reaction will take place, and CAPT
talists will again attempt to monopolize stocks
and force prices up, compelling consumers and
producers to unite in paying the fiddler. 1t will
not be easy to do this, however, as IL was
year ago. Within the last six months boarding
produce has not paid. Within the last sixty days
it has certainly proved disastrous business.
And now let consumers see that they get the
advantage of the decline. Let them bear in mind
when they go TO their butcher, their baker, or
their grocer that there has been lsrge and pret-
ty general decline in prices recently; that hogs
have fallen thrty-three per cent, beef in propor-
ton, and that flour is full dollar barrel lower
than it was week ago.-Cinefnnati Ga<effs, isth

THEY APPROVE 1T.


We have taken some pains to talk with the
democrats from the various towns in this
county tsnd ws have met good many upon
the subject of the proposed flank movement
proposed by the Chicago Times, and they al
most universally approve it. In fact we have
met only two men who were opposed to it,
and they both admitted that suffrage for the
negro was inevitable, sooner or later, in some
form. The truth is that, the people almost
universally approve of the move and wish the
negro question settled and ont of the political
arena, SO that we can attend to other and
more important questions OF policy, such as
tariffs, banks, taxes, bonds, improvements,
&c., &c.,-and the sooner ID Is settled the bet

The Reason Why.

A large number of republican newspapers
profess to be shocked by the announcement
that we desire q settlement of the existing
sectional controversy on the basis of univer-
sal amnesty aud impartial suffrage, for the
reason, among others, that the democratic
party may thereby regain the ascendency.-
They see in this the advocacy of what they
esteem to be a great moral idea" for a sell
fish and unworthy purpose. Ii the immacu-
late gentlemen whose moral ssnsibliities are
80 easily agitated may be oonsoled by emil
dent president for an announcement of that
character, we think we can afford them one.
We hope it may relieve them from the seri
GUS iudIspositlon under which they are now
suffering because of the violence of the shock
they hsye received.
If they wiii diligently study The appendix
to the Congressional Globe FOX the last session,
thsy may learn that the pending constitution
al amendment was concocted and avowediy
passed as a party platform. They may also
learn that the proposition 10 restrict the az
pointing power of the President, and which
had narrow escape from becoming law,
was openly announced by its advocates to te
a Measure for the preservation OF the repub-
licsn party. Thsy may further learn that
ths radical leaders in congress frankly and
explicitly declared that the legislation Of that

tion.

merciaps Washington special says:
1t is confidently expected that the recon-

ly in the approaching session of congress-
Negotiations for that purpose are in progress
between the President and leading politicians
OF all parties, both in the north and south.
The basis of settlement will be universal
suffrage and enaral amnesty. The Presi
dent has partially acceded to their PROPOSE
ton, but he insists, upon constitutional
grounds, that the question Of suffrage proper
ly belongs to the respective states, and is, SO
far, sverse to any action Of congress upon
that gu bject.
If assura, ce can be obtained from south
ern leaders of the speedy adoption of univer.
sal suffrage the President will waive his Oh
lection. .-
