FAIR AT CLAY-sTREET METHODIST EPIs.
CopAL CHURCH.-Never have We seen a
livelier interest manifested for the sue
cess of a fair than that We wit.
messed on last Saturday night. Every
space in the spacious apartments were
filed with visitors, and all evinced an
inclination to patronage most generously
There has already been handsome sum
realized by the sales of large and varied
assortment of articles, and there is still re.
naming on hand most attractive supply
especially of needlework. The fair will
continue during the present week, and
promises, by the introduction of a new
feature in the programme, additional at.
fractions.
Mr.. Lubbock, of the amateur club, as.
sisted by others, will dispense some excel.
lent vocal music, commencing tonight al
9 O'Clock.
We noticed miniature sofa, manufac.
tured of the best material by Mr.. James
H. Tanner, of this city, and made a dona-
tion to the fair, the value of which is only
$50.
We sincerely trust by this enterprise
a sufficient amount may be raised to re-
lieve the church Of all its pecuniary en-
barrassments. This will impart new im-
petus, and cause it to WELD a happier in.
fiuence over the community as well as its
membership.

DOMESTIC MARKETs.-The Second or
Shockoe Hill Market presented scene of
busy life on Saturday. The display of
" fish, flesh, fowl, fruit, and vegetables" !"
surpassed ell precedent of the present
year, and gave comforting assurance that
the yield of Earth's abundance during the
vernaf season now ripening into summer
will be all-sufficient for man and beast.
The crowd Of buyers was very great, many
Of whom most emphatically demurred to
the following prices Beef, ls, 20 to Csc. 4;
lamb, II to 20c. mutton, 17c.; veal, 20 to
25c. sleeps brains, 30c.; calves brains,
80 to 35c. fresh pork, Is to &c.,; goats
meat, 1sc.
Fish were reasonable as compared with
the rates demanded short time back. We
quote Sturgeon, 5 to &c. per pound shad,
II, 20 to Csc. apiece sheepshead, 25, SOC.
to 81, according to size gray and speckled
trout, 25 to SOC. per bunch spots and hog
fish very scarce and prices high.
Vegetables maintain at prices much too
high when the profusion which has re-
warded the cultivator's labor is considered.
Many of our readers in the rural districts
far removed from Richmond will be sur
prised to read the following: Irish pota-
toes new, 25c. per quart; green peas, so
to 60c. per peck early York cabbage, 25c.
per head radishes, Sc. per bunch OF five ;
lettuce, three heads for 10c. spring kayle,
turnip salad, and mustard, 20, Is to 30c.
per peck asparagus, Is to zoe. per bunch
mint, for julep, 1Oc. per bunch; punched
herbs, for soup, two for &c.; collards, l0c.
per bunch.
Dairy Products. 30, 35 to 40c.
per pound; cheese, % to 30c.; sweet
milk, 1Oc. per quart; butter milk, &C..
smear kase, 20 to Csc. per quart.
Fruit is very abundant and the quality
fine. Cherries, (royal wax, May dukes,
and May clusters,) 10 to l5c. per quart
strawberries of all the popular genus, 20
to 25c.; gooseberries, 10 to l2c. pie rhu-
barb, 1Oc. per bunch; wild cherries, fol-
tarts, 25c. green apples, for pies, Is tc
zoe. per quart.
The Poultry Department showed much &C.
tivity Saturday. Spring chickens sold at
20, rs, and 33 nc. each, according to size
ducks, 81 per pair; cocks and hens, fully
grown, 81 to Sl.25 per pair; young pi
geons, SOC. per pair cherry or cedar birds
l0c. per dozen; hens eggs, 20 to 25c. pei
dozen; guinea eggs, 1890. per dozen part
ridge eggs, 25c. per dozen.
Foreign Fraits, such as pineapples, le
mons, oranges, figs, dates, and prunes, are
sold by all the hucksters in our market
places but the prices are so variant that
any attempt at quoting would prove in.
correct and unsatisfactory.
We observe that the attractions of the
market places have been greatly enhanced
of late years by the large attendance of the
ladies. Removed as the Richmond ladies
are for graceful manners and beauty ofper'
son, this feature is one well calculated to
render the great domestic mart agreeable
to visitors. In more northern latitudes,
the ladies make the marketing almost ex-
clusively. Here, until recently, the buy
ers consisted almost solely of the rougher
sex.

AUNESTY-PARDON.

The Stats Zeitung labors heavily to turn
the flank of the act of Congress, which ex-
pressly prescribes the qualifications of voters in
recOnstructing the Rebel States, and which as
expressly prescribes that no amnesty or pardon
by the President shall operate to enfranchise
those who are thus precluded from voting
because OF their conspicuous part in the late
Rebellion. To this end it desperately quotes
Alexander Hamilton in The Federalist as saying
that
The principal argument for reposing the power Of
parOnng In the case of treason In the chief magistrate
is ths In seasons OF nsurrec0n rebellion there
oeh critical moments when wellmed offer OF pardon
10 the Insurgents or rebels may restore he tranquility
OF the commonwealth"
This is clear enough, but it does not help
the Zeitung's case a hair; 80 it has to be sup
plemented by an opinion of Jerry Black, who
says:
.a person dsfranchsed by law Of the United States
pe restored TO all the rights winch he had before con.
'euon ny Tree and full pardon from the President"
This, now is to the point; and if the ex
Attorney-General can be induced to add,
aithough Congress shall expressly and en-
phatlcally enact that no pardon or amnesty
proclaimed by the President shall have ony
"such effect" the Zeitung will have tbe fuil
weight of Jerry's authority in support of its
doctrine. Until then, it does not covor ,ho

The collision yesterday morning .of the
steamers Vanderbilt and Dean Richmond was
a criminal disaster, which the pilot of one or
the other of the boats is answerable for. 1t
appears that both boats steered toward the
same side of the channel, and as a natural con-
sequence there was a collision, and the loss of
one of the finest steamboats, upon our waters.
That there was not also fearful loss of life is
doubtless due to the accidental strength of the

The World, opposing the Metropolitan ant
e gLnAo D1licn

The World, opposing the Metropolitan and
all manner of State Police, says:
"Nothing il more evident than that the Sabbatarian
laws liquor laws and other Republican legislation OF
that kind would never be enforced in NcwIork by a
police appointed by the city"
THAT is the solemn truth, The real object
of those who clamor against State interference
in City matters is to be enabled to defy with
impunity the laws of the State which regulate
the sale of Liquor and require from rumsellers
some sort of external respect for Sunday. a
Police appointed by the City" would be a
proclamation that every one might obey or dis
obey those laws as he should see fit That is
exactly why such a Police is desired.
The World dishonesty suppresses the fact
that what it calls Republican legislation has
always been in substance the law of our State.
1t may be found in the Revised Statutes, now
nearly or quite forty years old, and in the
legislative acts of former years from which
those statutes were condensed. The laws date
back from the infancy of our State or beyond
it: it is their enforcement in our City and
Brooklyn which is novel. And that will cease
from the hour wherein our State governed Po-
lice is supplanted by one appointed by the
