OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION OF THE RE-

judged from the telegraphic abstract
Attorney General Stanberry's opinion
on the voting aud oihce-holding clauses
Of the Reconstruction acts Is sound III
law and fair III toni. II he leans to-
ward lenieney ID his construction OF

cisions will probably have a good effect
ON the people concerned ia il, aud Con

We DO not see that he stretches the pro-
visions Of the law beyond their obvious
meanings. He rcserses his opinion as

clear hat members Of Congress and

a VOYAGE TO EUROPE On A IlAFF'-
A New York paper gives the following
account OF the raft Nonpariel and her
venturesome crew, who set, sail on her
for Europe June 4th, with a view to de-
monstrate the safety and security Of a
floating structure built on the principle
of a life-saving apparatus:
The Nonpariel is composed Of three
parallel air cylinders, shaped like cigars,
which form what IN a vessel would be
called the hull. These cylinders are
twenty-five feet long and twenty-six IN
ches III diameter, beng composed Of
gutta percha encased IN Russia O duck,
the outer casing being less in circnm-
ference than tue inside air chamber,
and thus receiving the greatest strain.
1t is to be sailed by Captain John Mikes
and George Miller ana Henry Lawson,
seamen who have faith in her buoyant
power, having seen it tested on the
coast IN such a name hat they regard
a trip across the ocean as a possibly
agreeable incident; but entirely without
danger. They viii carry mostly cam
cd provisions, although a cooking APP
paratus is on board, but it is not likely
10 be in a condition for use except III
fair weather. The raft is at present,
with u view TO It's transatlantic trip,
schooner rugged, being IN addition pro-
! vided with W. centre boards for better
security in q heavy sea, although it is

either upset or swamp 1t. The raft car
RES twelve India rubber water casks,
Blk strapped on each side, which, if nee
essary, are able to do duty as life pre-
servers, being Of a boyant capacity suf-
hlclent, 1t Is claimed, to float min men

FOR THE WEEK ENDING July 1s. 1se

General quietness has pervaded the markets, the
ness has been done than is generally usual at this
of the year, when every body in the country
is engaged in hay-makng, Particularly is this the
case with the obbing grocers, who have transacted
q very fair business. The stocks in the country
stores have been kept at SO low a point that they
needed replenishing.
The feelings of merchants are buoyant In regard
to the Autumn business. They anticipate q large
trade in all departments. There is no notable
change in values of commodities excepting flour.
which is higher Prices OF other articles have been
quite steady.
The gold market has had an upward tendency
since our last report though the price has not reach
ed the point desired by the SPECTATORS The rates
last week were from 1881 to 13s, closing ON satur
day at 1884. On Monday, 18th, it opened at 1894.
and advanced to 1895, at which price it closed
Tuesday, 18th, it opened at 1885, advanced to 1901
then. dropped, closing at 140a.
APPLES-Dried apples are rather dull, the mark
ct being well supplied. Prices favor purchasa rs.
Green apples from the South are more plenty bnf
high prices are asked for them. There have been
none Of good quality brought along yet.
ASHES.-The demand is quite moderate Our
quotations are maint aimed. =
BEANS-Good beans are scarce, and cannot be
purchased under our quotations. large order il
would be impossible to fill.
BOX SHOOKS-There is nothing at ali doing in
the article, and prices are nominal,
BREAD-With decline in -four, bakers have re
duced the price of hard Breads and we revise our
quotations The demand for slip and pilot bread
is more active than it has been.
BUTTER-The haying season prevents butter
from being brought in freely, and choice is not very
plenty We quote fair to middlng ball at 25@2s and
