PRICES.

Thursdays New York Tribune reported
beef cattle as having declined fully pc.
per pound, and stated that the market was
overstocked, and there was an average arri-
val of 500 head per week in excess of the re
ceipts one year ago Sheep, according to
the Tribune, have declined about lc per
pound, and pork 4ic per pound. Pork is
$40 so less per barrel than the price last
year Lard II TO Il cents per pound lower
than at this time last year. The -four mar
ket is unsteady and prices looking downward.
Corn has advanced rhirtY-fiye cents per
buShel in three months, but the Tiibime
thinks prices will fall below present quota
tons Butter has declined five cents in
in three months Coal has declined two
dollars per ton in three months. The Ta
J3ne follows up its statistics with these com
ments.
The things we cat are daily becoming
less costly in the markets The decline is
not so perceptible at the stalls and shops Of
retailers, and to the actual consumer at the
hotels and boarding houses it Is wholly un
known. The full supply of provisions in
the country, pressing upon the crowded
store houses IN the city, must eventually
break down all speculation, and force down
the prices to consumers, in order to induce
more rapid consumption Of the periahable
articles of food. Finally, in the course of
time, the decline will reach the people who
buy to eat, and the good old days viii return
wherein the laborer was able to sit down to
hearty supper, without first balancing ac-
counts between his appetite and his day 5
earnings, so as not to leave the latter IN debt
to the rmtr
To which prediction all persons who wish
well to the masses Of our people will heartily
respond Amen!

Metearic Display in England.

The amusing witticisms of the American
pres over the disapp0intments of Professor
Loonis and other astronomical saraus who
who promised Us 9 meteoric display about
the l2th uit, viii now cease, since we are
assured by the English press that there re
ally was a shower on the l4th ult and
very brilliant one. The phenomenon was
visible at London, Dover, Leicester, Not
tingham, Liverpool, Weymouth, Glasgow
and other points The Times says: The
spectator had soon counted half dozen,
then he felt sure he had counted thirty, then
ed faster than he could count them The
heavens seemed alive with this unwonted
lost Look where we would, it was the
same IN tle Tar West, and throughout the
entire North. Mr. Bishop, of Weymouth,
estimates the number of meteors at Z 900
to 1000 Professor Grant, Of the Glasgow
Observatory, wrj ties
AT H. Ism. the heavens had assumed an
extremely imposing aspect. Multitudes of
beautiful meteOrs were now everywhere yIsl-
BE but especially in the Eastern regions of
the heavyn,, where the constellation Leo
was to tc seen as he gradually ascended in
his course towards the meridian Hun
dreds Of the meteors far surpassed in bril-
liancy the stars Of the first magnitude Iu
multitudes of instances they were brighter
than Jupiter, and some Of them even equal
led Venus when she is at her greatest brill
liancy
AS an incident Of these meteoric times, it
may be mentioned that immense rains fell in
various parts Of England, and that Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire especially were dcluged.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.
Facts versus Theories.


Notwithstanding the palpable absurdity
of the theory, that the Constitution Of the
United States cannot be amended by the
Ioyal States. without the aid Of a sufficient
number Of the rebel States to make three
fourths Of all that once were States, there
are still those, who blinded by prejudice, mis-
take their own childish wishes for the de-
ductions Of sound reasoning. Ignoring
facts and closing their ears against reason
they set themselves to theorizing to suit
their wishes. When one attempts to prove
that Washington never lived, or that Napo-
leon was a myth, the faith of him less ex-
pert in the science of logic may be shaken !;
but if the same person attempts to prove
that the party himself, whom he undertakes
to reason with, does not exist the most con
elusive answer the second party could give
his opponent absurd theorizing, would be a
practical demonstration, by knocking him
down. The same parties, who deny that
the passage Of the pending amendment by
the loyal States viii make it part of the
Constitution, acknowledge the amendment
abolishing slavery as part Of that instru-
ment This fact being everywhere accepted
Is sufficient answer to their present ebjec
tions IF the former amendDent is legally
a part Of tue Constitution, as they admit
it is so blythe act of the loyal States alone
the adoption Of it by the rebel States was il
every case under duress and therefore void
even IL they had had the right to pronounce
! upon It, which we deny. True the Presi

THE preseut inactivity of the Prussian cab
met is subject a of general specula-
ton among European politicians. The rea-
son Of this inactivity is to be found in the
absence Of the soul Of the cabinet, Count Bis
marck IN some quarters it is believed
that the sickness which is supposed to have
detained him in the country is not real, but
feigned, in order to induce the King to make
certain changes in the cabinet. A Tribune
correspondent says: "His sutferings have in
creased so much during the last few weeks,
that his advice cannot be obtained even on
the most important circumstances. Baron
Layiguy, for instance, was directed to consult
him confdentially on various points in the
treaty with Saxony. But Count Bismarck S
family declared that such conversation was
impossible, because the excitement would
produce dangerous consequences. II is hard
lyto be expected that he will come to Berlin
to the opening Of the Parliament, and as he
cannot remain ON the Island of the Baltic in
the winter, his family are desirous that he
should go south, either TO the Lake of Gene.
va or to one of the lakes of Upper Italy. At
the Lake OF Geneva he would meet one of
his colleagues, General Room, the Minister of
War, who is also staying there forhis health S
sake. Though 1t is not at all strange that
both these statesmen have suffered severely
