Wool Dealers Convention.

The Convention of Wool Dealers met
st Ke1ey's Hall, yesterday, at 10 o'clock
A. II. It was very well attended, and
organized promptly by the appointment
Of E. N. LiYermore, Of Cleveland, Chair
man, and Mr.. S. N. Goodale, Jr., Secre-
taFy. .IiH-- sGisa,.- -.3g5.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sioe the report of the Committee on Res
olutions was submitted and adopted. 1t
reads as follows:
WHERE'S, The wool crop of Ohio, is fast
increasing, and will probably reach S0,-
OOO, 1000 pounds the present year, and be-
ing one of the most Important and prof
liable productions of the State, merits
the careful attention of both growers and
buyers and --
WHEREAS, In former years the clip of
our State ranked superior to that of 9TH
er States and ..rt- Z
WHEREAS, For several years past the
woods of our State have lost their high
reputation in consequence of the care
less and dishonest manner of washing
and handling therefore, -
RssolUed, That in view of the many
just causes of complaint from manufac-
turers!and dealers, that our wool is yearly
degenerating in condition, we recon-
mend to the growers that they thorough
ly tag and wash their sheep, tub washing
the tags, land keeping them separate
from the fleece, and not allow the sheep
after washing to run more than from six
to ten days before shearing; to tie up.
the wool with smooth light colored tWine,
not exceeding twice each way, and in all
respects to have it as free from for
eign substances as possible, and eVeryWay
in good condition o. Aoaa afli
We confidently say that with proper
attention to these reasonable recommen-
dations the standing of our wool will re-
gain its. former reputation and be en-
HANGED in value, because manufacturers
viii hereafter select only wool in good
condition, and will avoid greasy, dirty
heeces. i. .-flfu.i - ~ a.,
RESOLVED, That the members of this
Convention recommend to all dealers and
buyers that they neither purchase them
selves nor allow their agents to purchase
any wool excepting upon the following
conditions
l. A deduction of one-half on all un-
washed buck heeces. --Elaila.3 .-.El
2. A deduction of one-third on all
washed buck feeces.
8. A deduction of one-third on all 9TH
er unwashed feeees. >-- ..1t --.'.
4. That all heavy, unconditional and
cotted or stuffed fleeces shall be classed as
rE '-e rEc -2a
5. A deduction on all wool tied with an
unnecessary amount of tWine. p51ai.l1
6. The prosecution under the Law for
any attempt to misrepresent or deceive
as to the inside condition of feeces in
reference to tags, manure, dead wool, or
any foreign substance.
Z. To pay the outside limit of the mar
ket for wool in good condition, this being
but matter Of justice to those wool
growers who put up their wool honestly.
RssOlved, That we denounce the prac-
tice of employing incompetent buyers as
detrimental to the interests Of the trade.

The State of the SOuth--TesfI-
mOny of Gov. Holden. Hl

Governor Holden, of North Carolina,
was during the war q onion man, who,
though he had not the power to prevent
the secession Of North Carolina, opposed
| it 20 vigorously as TO draw down upon his
head the wrath of the hot heads who
finally s1cceeded in running the State,
and during the war he organized and
kept up party in opposition to Davis,
| which to a considerable extent neutral
ized the action of the State, and made. it
Of much less Valne to the Confederacy
than it would have otherwise been. At
the close of the war he was chosen by
President johnson to act in the capa city
of Provisional Governor Of his State, and
to inaugurate q, there the trust and
believing policy which Mr.. Johnson saw
fit to adopt. He certainly ought to be
competent and credible witness as TO the
results Of that policy, and his testimony
is sadly against it. He writes in late
issue Of his paper, the Raleigh Standard,
as follows: = - -s7 p
Twelve months ago yesterday, we-the
Senior Editor-were summoned to Wash
ington by President Johnson to consult
on the state of affairs in North Carolina.
Almost at the same moment the dispatch
from President johnson was received, we
received letter from the Hon. Edward
StanIy, urging us to repair to Washing
ton to see what could be done for the
good of North Carolina. We went. We
saw the President frequently, had full
and free conversation with him, and re-
turned with our commission rs Provision
al Governor. 1lliz
But behold the changeI The State
was submissive, and ready for any terms
the Government might impose. Now q
majority of the people seem to be detl-
ant, and unwilling to return to the IN
ion, save on their own terms. Then the
test oath, hard as it is even on the great
body Of the Union men. was respected
as the law of the land; now 1t is regarded
as disreputable to be able to take it,
Then the prime authors of all our woes,
the Secessionists and latter-day war-men,
were, to all appearances, unconditional
Unionists; now they are imPudent and
arrogant, and the true Unionists are de-
jected, cowed, prescribed, under the ban
socially, pecuniarly and politically The
of and by themselves were
comparatively powerless; but as soon IS
Governor Worth and the latter-day war
men Joined them, governed as the latter Z
were by vanity and lust for Office, they
become the ruling power in the State.
What Is to be the end of all this we are.

The inhabitants of Perry county, Ala,
have shown themselves much more sensible
and humane than those Of many sections Of
the South. Instead of abusing and murder
ing the freedmen, and denouncing the Ao-
olitionists, they have set themselves TO work
for the benefit of the colored population,
which they know must always exist among
them. They feel that it is better and safer
to have the blacks intelligent than ignorant
and vicious Accordingly meeting was to
be held in Marion, the county seat, on the
