HlGH RETAIL PRIcEs.-A cotemporarv
says that everybody remarks upon the
price of bread and the poor quality. This
ought not to be so. Early last week, flour
arrived in New York in largo quantities.
moro than 5000 barrels were received in
one day from New Orleans. Wheat has
experienced corresponding decline. All
throughout the West the receipts arc very
large, and there is 10 reason why the poor
consumer cannot realize the benefits of
the decline in the Wholesale markets.
Corn also Is dull in the principal marts of
the North and West-in Now York only
81 to $112A. Here We can ONLY get it at
rctail-meal and grists at 3 per bushel.
The price Of beef is open to the same
censure. We heard, s, me weeks ago. that
drovers pa asscd this city asking only mode
rate prices for their cattle, which were
refused. when consumers have to pav the
highest prices at the market stalls for any
choice pieces Of meat. The prices asked
by the drovcrs, and those at which meat is
sold, show that the vcndcrs would speedily
make fortune. This is ali wrong. GEN
tlemen, bakers and butchers the poor
must live. so share and share alike.

RECoNsTRUCTIoN.-It is reported,
from the direction OF Washington,
that. Mr.. Boutwell,, the honorable
member who recently introduced a
bill to override the decisions OF the
Supreme Court. is to concoct Il plan
of reconstruction that shall be ACCEPT
able to a large number of the late
"rebels. The New York 1ri5usse.
speaking of it, says:
A simple provision that no. further
confiscations shall be initiated would
enable thousands Of most capable
and enterprising Southrons to Dor
row money whcrcwith to fence and
till their lands, or to sell half of them
for the means with which to cult
vate the other. And why not thus
provide? If we do not propose to
contiscate-and almost every one says
we do not-let us state this beyond
cavil, so as to allow thousands now
fettered and paralyzed to return to
active usefulness, and thus contribute
to the national thrift and prosperity.
1t we do not mean to indict for sim
pie trcason-and every one knows
that such indictment would, under
the decisions of the Supreme Court,
be but Il costly sham-let lis say that
also, and dispel the idle, but none the
less painful, apprehensions of de-
voted wives and children. We will
not here use the word amnesty, since
1t has been SO grossly and dishonesty
perverted; but we insist that Con
gress shall at least seem as generous
as she really is.

LONDON, May as.-In the House Of Com.
mons. at an early hour, and after an exciting
debate, the question of the borough franchise
right. as embodied in Mr.. Disraeh's reform
bill. was settled on the basis of household sut-
frage. The compound householder plan, at
first proposed. is practically abolished. As
the measure now stands the tenant in bor-
ough town is to pay his tax rate personally,
instead of through the landlord, and SO secures
the right of voting. In the matter of the fran
cbise qualification IN the counties it has been
voted that The settled occupants OF lands or
tenements worth the sum of fI2 sterling shall
enjoy the right OF voting when duly registered
The Government at first proposed that the
value OF the lands or tenements shoid be Els
sterling. The Liberals, in opposition, wanted
to have it fixed at fi0 sterling. A compro-
mise took place i'll the House, when fl2 starl-
ing was agreed on as the amount of value Of
the lands or tenements, after which the House
adjourned. The result is a gain to the people.
