were tolerably well supplied, yet prices
ruled firm Butter was sold at 40 and
so cents. There were those, however,
who refused to pay the outside figure,
and preferred to do without. the article
rather than submit to this extortionate
price. Eggs sold at 20 cents per dozen,
or five dozen and half for a dollar.
Meats were abundant at the usual quo
tatiOns. Green vegetables are still
scare and in good demand. The mar
ket was heavily stocked with cabbage,
turnips, carrots and potatoes, and hold
ers were quite willing to sell on easy
terms. Poultry is scarce, but not much
inquired for, as the season is too far adj

meat in most active demand. Good

1t is believed that Governor Brown
low cannot live much longer. His
present nervous disorder grows more
and more threatening.
M d. Conway, the well known cor
respondent, contemplates taking up his
permanent residence in London. He
derives a handsome income from his
literary labors.
Senator CONFESS, OF California, 1t is
stated, intends to decline u re-nomina-
ton ut the end of his term, which ex-
pires with this Congress, and TO devote
himself to the manufacture ofCalffornia

Immense extent, and is very profitable

The Washington correspondent of

writes to that paper as follows:
"There is not much doubt of the
speedy release of JEFF, Davis from con-
tinement, III time is offered before the
recess OF Congress to act on the resoIu-
ton OF Senator Wilson, introduced in
the Senate to-day. Nearly all the lead
ing radicals have, for year past, clam
ored either for trial or discharge. Fhad-
deus Stevens, in particular, has always
been opposed to any personal punish
ment OF the Confederate leader; his cry
IS, "Conhscate their property and let
them CO." the stand deliver policy.
The objections of Chief Justice Chase
to try cases in Virginia, have been
rather augmented than decreased 'by
recent legislation, and in view OF this
fact, If Congress passes the resolution
of Mr.. Wilson, which Is very probable,
the President will promptly order the
release of Mr.. Davis on his own recog-

The same correspondent also fur

1.-THE discussion OF the New York
custom-house question was resumed
to-day, and it may be safely asserted
that articles of impeachment against

An Interesting case has recently
been decided by Georgia court. in
which the following are the facts. In
1857 Tumor bought of Tucker, in South
Carolina, slaves to the amount of fifty
thousand dollars, giving in security
for the payment, mortgage on them
and on lands in Georgia. Tumor re-
manned in possession of the slaves I'M
til the emancipation, without having
paid for them. After their freedom,
Tumor refused to make payment, on
the ground that Tucker, having a mort
gage on them, was still the owner, NOT
withstanding Tumor's possession up
to the time of their emancipation. On
this issue, suit was instituted, and a
verdict for the plaintiff was rendered
by n special jury.

Looking after Him.
| Last weeks Anti-Slavery Standard
has letter in it from Wendell Phillips,
who is a regular contributor now, ia
king the ground that the South is to be
treated in the process of reconstruction
pretty much as Rarey treated his horses.
lie explained what he means as fol-
lows:
''Rarey told me that he never felt he
could trust a horse till every muscle
and fibre yielded its,tension and became
slack and relaxed. That was the sign
that the animal gave up. Till then,
Rarey watched and held him. He was
the wisest of reconstructionists. No
Southern muscle has yet relaxed. 1t is
not yet safe to trust that Cruiser. Keep
the straps on awhile. The time for con-
haence comes when the animal has
thoroughly learned our power and Pur-
pose TO use it, and 9iveS up.
We should judge by u letter in the
last received Richmond Dispatch, that
the virginians are getting pretty near
in the condition of Cruiser when he be-
came ''slack and relaxed!'' The writer
of the letter informs us chat loyaIUnion
leagues are in general existence. and
that the members are exerting them
selves to concentrate the negro vote in
favor of "rsdical'' candidates. He
urges, and the editor calls it good ad-
vice." that the people of virginia-the
orthodoxists, he means-shoSd turn
in and labor increasingly with their for
nier slaves, cultivate and enIighten
them, and make them their fast friends,
politically and socially. He afTirms
that
1.-THE negro is willing to vote with us
If we wish it so, and we can, without
any sacrifice, secure their aid now, and
hold them safely in any future emer-
gency-
The preachers, teachers, and officers
OF the Freedmen's Bureau in our sec
ton have not used their influence, so
far, to SOW dissension between the two
races in the matter of elections. But
they haye a perfect right to recommend
and advise concentration of this vote
in behalf Of any candidate that will
represent its interests fairly. We may
unite with them and there can be no
objection to the negroes being fairly
represented. Everything Is to be gain
ed by selecting those who are fully i'm
pressed with the situation, and able to
dispense impartial Legislation to the
two races. The negroes will readily
unite in support OF these men for any
office.
I'VE shall have, sooner or later, to get
rid of ali circumstances, and boldly
face the music. The negroes are going
TO vote whether we do or not, and some
body ought 10 advise them, and will ad-
wise them, how to vote, and it is time
we were girding on our loins either to
swim with the cnrrent or to be carried
down by it.'
We agree with the editor of the DIS
patch, that the foregoing is Sound adj
vice" 1t shows that the "muscle and
fibre" of the old Virginia regime, is
yielding its tension" and that Phil
Lips idea of reconstruction is being
obeyed already.
