THE remarks of Mr.. Stevens, in the

in he said he hopei never to hear of the
impeachment project again because he
was satisfied the attempt would prove an
impossible one, were not what those who
have been engineering tie scheme ex>
pected or will thank him for As to the
"secret agencies" which he said he was
convinced were at work, perhaps some
persons would have becn better pleased
had the veteran been more explicit
Did he mean that executive patronage
was the secret influence which controls
the action OF members, and did he have
any re ference to the reported success in
carrying off spoils from the White House
by certain distinguished PeDnsylvanians!
Mr.. Stevens is not given to keeping back
anything, and inuend 1es constitute not q
fayorite weapon with him; and the fact
that he this time used them has served

1t is difficult to believe the states
ment which comes to us via Havana, to
the effect that Santa Anna exhibited the
authority of the President aud Secretary
of State to proceed to Mexico, coupled
with the promise of the necessary assis-
tance. The more probable thing is that
the unprincipled set wo surrounded San
ia Anna before he soiled for New York
made out papers of the kind he is re-
ported to have shown, and that he be-
lieved they were genuine. If he had
any documents of authority or sympathy,
we venture to say they will turn out to
be home made.

GENERAL GRANT was called before
the Judiciary Committee at the instance
of the Democrats. The result shows
they evoke up the wrong passenger"
that time, and the little game they were
attempting to play was effectually spoiled.
When questioned with the intention Of
embarrassing the General, he answered
SO promptly and gave expression to sen,
timents which in their estimation were
so decidedly radical, that the Democracy
do not hesitate to say the General has
ruined his prospects for the Presidential
nomination with them. They accuse
him of fishing for the nomination from
the Republicans, which shows how high
is their appreciation of General Grants

the war to the principles for which he

CONCERNING business in New York on
Monday the World says; There was a
pretty decided break in leading Western
products. Flour declined twenty-five cents
per barrel; wheat five cents, and corn aud
oats one or two cents per bushel. Pork
declined half dollar per barrel, and the
rapid rise in other hog products received a
decided check. Tbe advance in sugar now
amounting to two cents per pound within
a brief period, seems also to have been
checked. Still the tone of trade circles il
more cheerful than for year past, and the
coming year is looked forward to with con
fdence that, il no great profits are to be
realized, theruinous losses Of the past twelve
months will not be repeated

fishing a very large business in the man.
ufacture of all kinds of crackers. But
since his removal to the establishment SO
long occupied by Mr.. Davis, an additional
impulse has been given to all departments
of his trade which must be highly graft
flying. Mr.. Davis established reputa-
tion unequalled in this country, for the
quality of his Water, Butter and Sugar
Crackers. These are now manufactured
by Mr.. Marvin, at 81 Liberty Street, in
precisely the same manner as those made
by Mr.. Davis.
To these, Mr.. Marvin has added all the
other varieties OF crackers now in use.
His materials are always of the very best
quality, his workmen are of the most
skillful in their line of labor, and his
machinery is the most approved. The
utmost cleanliness is observable IN every
department, and in view of this it is not
strange that the orders are increasing so
rapidly.
Country Merchants when ordering
crackers from Pittsburgh grocers, should
always specify that they want Marvin's
crackers as no others sell so well.-Pats-
