Chicago Live stock Market.

BEEF CArrLE-The market ruled very quiz
ct TO day; but the general feeling was one OF
firmness. and upon all transactions reported
full prices were realized. The quiet that pre-
vailed was not due TO any lack Of interest on
the part ofbu yers, but may oe attributed en-.
tirely to the low class of stock on the market.
There vas quite liberal attendance Of East
ern buyers, and under the influence Of an ad
vance of &c in New York. there was a heal
thy strong demand for good to choice ship
ping Steers. and under a lively competition
the few Offering coming under this head were
taken up sharp at full prices. AID much lar
ger number, had they been in the market,
would have met with ready sale. Packers
were looking about, but they seemed not to be
pleased with the quality Of stock offering. and
restricted their purchases to some 300 head.at
and within the range of $3.00@5.00 p 100
lbs. City butchers bought sparingly, as did
also feeders The reported sales foot up s57
head, at prices ranging at $2O093.0O for
inferior to common mixed lots. including
sc4lawag' Steers, "scrubby" Cows. light
Heifers, coarse bony Oxen. Stays, Bulls and
Texas Cattle s3.5O@450 for common to
good butchers Cattle and medium to good
Steers; S300@5.00 for common to good
packing Cattle, and S5.00@600 TOR common
to good shipping Steers. Some 2 500 head re-
main in the peas unsold, at the close. and as
this number is composed largely Of a very in
ferior class OF stock, for which there Is at
present little or no demand, drovers will do
well TO keep back all such for few Gays, un-
I'll the supply already in the sale pens is alb
sorbed. No fear need be entertained Of send
ing In surplus Of good first and second class
Steers, as the Eastern markets are low in
good healthy condition, and all suitable ship
ping stock will meet with ready sale at re-
munerativs prices.

tsinsd throughout. Thers was the usual at

The Democratic papers in this
State generally charge $3.50 per
square for three insertions of legal
advertisements, while Republican pa
pers, which generally have cicula-
ton twice as large, exact only 80 for
like services. Under the recent adj
ministration of the Plymouth Demo
crat q 50 Sheriff's Sale" amounted to
from so to S12, while Republican
papers of st. Joseph, Laporte and
Kosciusko counties only charged
about half those amounts, although
the circulation of each exceeded that
of the Democrat twice over.
The present proprietor of the
Democrat has reduced the price OF
legal advertising to 50 per square for
three insertions, and makes no dis
tinction between them and other adj
vertisements. This is honest and
fair, but the practice of the former
proprietor, in charging $3.50 for le-
gal and only 50 for other advertising,
was unjustifiable and dishonest.
Our rates heretofore for legal and
all other kinds Of advertising have
been $50 per square for three in
sertions, but, under the new manage
ment, it has been determined to in
crease them to 50. Most of the coun-
try papers in this State charge the
latter price, and we have concluded
to charge the same as others, espe-
cially as our circulation is consider
ably larger than most of them, par
ticularly the Democratic sheets.

A writer in a Boston paper, in an
argument opposing General Buffers
financial views, exposes piece of
Democratic sophistry not generally
understood. Every spe aker of that
party draws a dismal picture Of the
people of the West being taxed for
the benefit of a bond holding aristoc-
racy in the East. 1t should be kept
in mind, however, that the bonds of
the Government are exempt from
State and municipal taxation only !;
they are taxe'l the same as other
property. Therefore, if they are all
held in the East, the discrimination
in favor Of the bondholder operates
only there, and does not affect the tax
payer in a community where no cap
ital is invested in these securities.

that have voted with them this year;
they still have no show whatever in
the Electoral College Grant them
New York, New Jersey, California,
Connecticut. Pennsylvania, land throw
in Indiana; they can only claim in
addition, Maryland, kentucky, Dela-
ware, Arkansas and Texas. 1t must
be admitted that here is but a slender
peg for them to hang their hopes
upon for 1868, especially as with the
exception of the five late slave States
named, every State herein conceded
to them is certain to give good
round majority for the ticket headed
by the greatest Captain of his time,
General Ulysses S. Grant.
After all, reverses are as necessary
to q political party or anation as adj
versity to individuals, and should be
alike purifying in their effects. We
have never asked for our party q
hold on place and power such as
could not be shaken. Should it
achieve such a position but short
time would elapse before it would in
clude every rascal in the country, and
become both dangerous and cor
rupt- The late elections have taught
us the Importance of sticking to our
text. Ifthey were to be we suppose
they could not have been prevented,
but we are right glad that they were
not deferred until 1868.

feet that the famous test oath, so far as il
applies to voters and office holders, is I'M
constitutional.
A Washington telegram says that DIR.

in the Dry Tortugas, faithfully attended to
the sick in the yellow fever epidemic there,

He did not lose case, and in considora-
ton of his services efforts are being made
to obtain a pardon for him.
1t is learned that the cable telegram
which announced the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States for ma
val station, is not strictly correct. The
negotiations which were broken off last
spring, have been revived but have not
reached conclusion. The Government
does not propose, TO pay, however, four
teen millions in gold for the purchase OF
the Island of st. Thomas.
A Philadelphia telegram says that Thad.

The great re action. predicted by
Copperheads ever since the outbreak
of the war, and for which wise men
prepared, has spent its force at last
The opposing forces are now resting
in the lull Of the campaign, and, be-
fore the clash of conflicting steel is
again heard, the late battle ground
will have been thoroughly examined,
the bleaching bones of the dead in
TERED, and the wounded handed over
to the tender mercies of the surgeon
When these things are accomplished
it will be acknowledged that the recent
and almost unexpected good fortune
which has befallen few Copperheads
and by which unimportant local and
State Offices have fallen into their
hands, is no indication that theparty
which prosecuted the war to a tri-
umphant conclusion has lost, or that
the party which opposed everything
in relation to the rebellion except the
rebellion itself, has won public con-
fidence. In fact, the late elections
have not proven the Copperheads
stronger than they were a year ago,
but they have shown that the Repub
lican party is not all-powerful, and
this is the lesson we propose to di-
gest.
The year Of our Lord, 1867, will
be forever memorable in the political
annals of America as the year of
Isms. From Massachusetts to Kan
sas the Democrats have found their
opponents divided upon subjects en-
tirely foreign to the declared policy
of the Republican party. In the
first-named State, it VAS attempted
to make prohibition and the enforce
ment of sumptuary laws by a ma
chinery dangerous only to the per-
sonal liberty of the citizen, test of
party fealty. In the latter, female
suffrage was the bone of contention.
We do not propose to discuss either
one or the other subjective have our
personal opinions ON both-but we
shall maintain that until the Repub-
icans complete the work of Recon
struction, and forever secure to. the
white and black Unionists of the
South the control of their State gov
ernments, they have no votes to lose
or breath to spare upon distracting
side issues Any other policy than
this will be fatal to the great work
In hand, and it is supreme folly to
think of any other. Not that we
would underestimate the Importance
OF other topics, but because one bat
tie at time is as many as we can
hope to win. Future years viii
doubtless bring forth new combina-
tons, and we do not despair that
these Questions whose proper place
Is now IN the background, when sub
United separately to the decision of
the American people, will be decided
In accordance with right and reason.
The reverses encountered by the
Republicans, it would seem, depress
them more than they elate the Cop
perheads. Except the unusual dis
play of the national flag at their
printing offices, we see no evidences
ofrejoic,ng on their part. The rea
son is apparent. Admit that they
will carry next year all the States
