wool Matters.

From all quarters the report is that
Wool Matters are extremely quiet, scarce
a ripple on the market. Buyers are very
slow and cautious about entering the field,
and it is not likely the demand for the
new clip viii be immediate and active, as
all speculative feeling has subsidized.
a Convention of Wool Buyers and
Dealers, of Licking Co., o., was held at
Newark, on the l4th inst, at which the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
l. That we, as wool buyers, will be gov
erned by the custom of Eastern sellers Of
wool grading as sold there.
2. R5soLroi, That each lot of wool
bought by ourselves or our agents, shall be
rated and graded according to its class and
market value.
8. ResoEved, That the custom of stufing,
so called, which is so common, is a fraud
upon the buyers, dishonest as it is disgrace
full and that tits for the interest of all hon.
est growers, as well as buyers, to expose
such cases to public contempt.
4. Resolved, That We will use all our in
luence as buyers, to elevate the standard
of our wool, and that we will discriminate
always against unwashed, badly handled,
and bury wool, and pay The grower whose
wool is clean, well handled, and in good
order, the real difference to which he. is
entitled.
5. ResoLred, That the members of this
convention recommend to all dealers and
buyers, that they neither purchase, them
selves, nor allow their agents to purchase
any WOOL excepting on the following con-
ditionsI
/. a deduction of one half on all IN
washed buck fleeees-
2. A deduction of one. third on all wash
ed buck feeces.
8. A deduction of one third on all other
unwashed heecei.
6. Resolved. That we instruct all our
agents to open all suspicious ~ieeees, and if
stuffed, that a deduction of M third be
made, as unwashed wool.
Z. ResoLUed, That we recommend to the
wool growers of Licking and adjoining
counties, to keep all their unwashed and
tags separated.

Snrran,s TrIaI-


WAsHINGToS, Nay 27.-The trial Of
John Il. Sufratt, on motion of the Gov.
eminent, was postponed until the 10th OF
June, in order to afford time to procere
the attend nee of several important wit
nesses. United States Attorney Caring
ton and Judge Pierpont briefly argued In
favor of the pOstpOnement or continuance
of the case until another term Several
important witnesses were absent, Efforts
having beer made to secure them, but
without success. One was in New York,
a second II Maryland, a third in Michi-
gan, and a fourth an actor who has gone
70 California. These witnesses may posi-
bly, appear at any day. New testim ny
and new facts also have recently been dis
covered; rev developments also have been
made. In a case of this Importance the
prosecution would not like to go to trial
unless perfectly ready and prepared.
Mr.. Merriek replied, stating that the
counsel fo- the defense had been diligent-
" engaged in bringing witnesses to Wash.
Ington at a heavy expense; one of them
from Canada, and another from the ex-
IRENE southern end of the Union. If the
case was further continued, or postponed
till the next term, il would be impossible
to keep the witnesses here. The, Court
thought it would be we'll to call the Wit
ness in the order determined whether
some future day sho I'D be set for trial.
Judge PRrRont moved the case be post
poned til the 10th Of June. Bradley OPP
posed the motion, saying the United
States had had ample time to have wit
nesses for the prosecution here.
Couch, after consideration of the SUBJ
iect, said the case would be postponed two
weeks from to-day, in order to afford
farther time to procure the attendance of
witnesses.

Judge Kelley at montgomery

: Judge KELLEY Jared better at Mont
gomery than at Mobile. A large audi
ence of the best citizens were present
to hear him, and he was occasionally
applauded. He gave the people some
sensible counsel. Hesaid that Alabama
alone had more resources in mineral
and other wealth than all New England
put together. In none Of the Eastern
States was there coal, and little iron /;
they could not grow corn there. In
Alabama they can grow wheat months
earlier than in the North; but they
had not done so because they relied
upon other States for food, and devoted
their soil 10 one special crop. There
were copper, lead and gold in their
hills, and it would be their fault if the
North did not cease TO send abroad for
their crude birthstone, specimens of
which and other minerals he had seen
a moment ago in the Executive cham
Der. These facts told in foreign lands,
and the TACT that they haq-freedom now,
and common schools being known
abroad, capital and labor would pour in
from those countries.
The part of Mr.. hELLEY's speech
which deservedly attracted most atteR-
ton is thus reported.
"He urged them 70 set aside their
preiudices and reconstruct the South
promptly and willingly. IF that were
done he would declare, in behalf of the
whole country, that the present laws of
Congress would be a anality unless it
was driven to enact harsher measures.
and before many years the South would
be more liberal and as prosperous as
the North.
