New Work Dry Goods Market.

Trade has been quite lively all the week,
but the weather, thus far, has been too cold
for much activity in thin summer fabrics.
The amount Of such stock in the aggregate,
at this season Of the year, Is always very
large; and II IL does not move off rapidly at
the proper time there is danger Of heavy
losses. However, few days, IL is hoped,
will drive away all anxiety and develop q
brisk demand for all descriptions Of goods.
The market has been lower for nearly oil
kinds Of merchandise, and stocks are be-
lieved TO be accommodating with q large pro-
portion Of our manufacturers. The display
Of goods in some Of our large warehouses Is
magnificent beyond description. Indeed
there Is no place in the world which can COM
pare with New York in this respect. Messrs.
Low, Hartman & Co.. uell-knoup commits
sion merchants, have just moved into their
new and beautiful store on Worth street,
where they have on exhibition, from sub
basement to garrett, thousands Of packages
Of desirable goods, adapted to the season.
II John Bull or the Gear Of Russia want to
know something Of our commercial great
ness, we can point them TO this immense es-
tablishment and nearly score Of other dry
goods palaces where more business Is trans
acted, perhaps, than in any one Of q whole
batch Of the German provinces.
Brown sheetings are in demand, but prices
are q shade lower and the stock is accumu-
lating. Bleached goods, best brands, con-
makes are lower. Drills are selling freely,
and some styles are shade lower. Prints
are lower, owing 10 failures in Providence
downward. New spring styles are, however,

An evening contemporary intimates that
we recently stated that General HALPNE's
qualification of his conversation with The
president is tissue of perversions and false
hoods" We stated that the publication was
unauthorized" by The President. So did
General HALPINE testify. We stated that it
was published by friend, with no bad in
tentions." We stated that Gen. HALPINE's
statement of The PRESIDENTS views had
been caught up by the Radical press gen.
orally, and especially by an unprincipled
sheet in this city, and had been Shamefttay
perverted, as the chief conductor Of that
print well knows how to pervert even the
greatest truths"
Our contemporary will please stand cor,
rected and not misrepresent the position Of
the REPUBLICAN.

The senate's Reflections.

The Cincinnati Commercial is indignant
at the rejection by the Senate Of the ap-
pointment Of Colonel BAssETr LASoDos to
the assessorship Of the First revenue district
Of Ohio, and 1t winds up long history Of
the case in the following:
"Bassett Langdon, when Senator Of
Ohio, was distinguished for his integrity.
While at the head of the LIST Ohio regiment,
through its bloody and famous career from
Shiloh to Resaca, the meanest Of his enemies
dare not deny that he was remarkable for
his bravery. 1t is true, he has not since the
close Of the war acted with the Republican
party. He preferred the Presidents policy
OF reconstruction to that Of Congress. Hall
who had done so had been rejected by the
Senate when appointed to Office, we could
have understood that body to be acting upon
q general principle. But hundreds Of John
son men have been confrmed-scores OF
whom made themselves odious on the stump,
which Langdon never did. Instances that all
men recognize may be pointed out on all
sides.
"Col. Langdon has not done anything that
be should be Disseminated against. He gave
up his profession to enter the army, and is
poor. He never has recovered from his
wound received at Mission Ridge, but suffers
to-day weakness and nervousness from it, is
feeble and Frustrated and tortured with it,
and it is feared that his health never can be
restored and II he is to be refused confrma-
ton for small Office, pursuant to the un.
principled schemes Of political wire pullers,
the people certainly have sense Of justice
that will demand that those responsible shall
be held to rigorous accountability, and in
due time there will be q day Of reckoning.
he has been treated unfairly. The hostility
directed against him is cruel and it is COW.
ardly."

The REBEL RAN MERRIMAC.-The wreck Of
the old rebel ram Merrimac, a constant terror
to steamers and other vessels passing to and
from Norfolk in the nighttime, is shortly to
be removed by means of torpedoes. Several
attempts have been made to raise the wreck,
but have all failed, and she has since been
lying in the river with buoy placed at the
spot where she sunk. Five large iron tanks
are being built, similar to the ordinary water
tanks of strong boiler iron, and will hold two
or three hundred pounds of powder These
torpedoes will be placed beneath the hull Of
the rebel ram and ignited by means OF gal
vanic battery

The following occurrence places in new
light the relations between school teachers and tho
parents Of their pupils: A lady who has children
attending a school in Hudson City, New York,
called q few mornings ago at the school and In.
quired for the teacher, Miss Webb, The lady open
ing the door replied, II am Miss Webb" and was
Immediately set upon by the visitor and received a
thorough cOWhiding. The principal, Mr. HOyt, at.
trActed by the cries for assistance, rushed to the
rescue, but he too was made to feel the weight Of
wOman's vengeance. The cause Of this AmAEonian
conduct was, that one Of the AssAilants children
had been punished at school las she eonsidersd too
severely.

A New star at walrs Opera House.

Miss FANNY MORGAN PHELPS, an estab-

where the men and women are as wide awake
and as independent in the utterance Of their
criticisms as anywhere else, will make her
first appearance in Washington tonight, at
Wallis Opera House. She has the reputa.
ton of fascinating Coincidence, and we
trust that good audience to judge of her
merits in the Actress by Daylight" and the

The OVERLAND MAIL.-Mr. William Hep
worth Dixon, in his work on New America
gives an account of the manner in which the
United States mail is carried. Mr.. Dixon
and friend left Leavenworth for Salt Lake
City under the promise Of an escort, but
none appeared. He writes:
ave have paid FIVE hundred dollars for
escorting the United States mail to Salt
Lake. 1t is high price, but the privilege
might be worth the cost If we had mind to
use the facilities which fall about our feet
and court us to see them. The mail is
wholly at our mercy. Six nights and days
we are shut up with our pistols and the
United States correspondence -Four sole COM
panion being the boy outside, who cannot
see into the wagon when the steps are down.
In one place bag falls out Of the wagon,
and would certainly be left behind on the
plain, but that we call to the driver to stop
and pick it up. In another place one of the
bags bursts open, when stream Of letters
comes flowing about our feet. We have
only to help ourselves; read what we like,
pocket what We like. Might not the secrets
Of q single letter be worth, in some hands,
more than the FIVE hundred dollars we paid
to guard them ?"
