GsNigging.'p

MEMBERS of Congress, finding that the pro-
cess of coming ideas is entirely to trivial for
their mighty intellects, have secured the man
tie of Ben. Jonson, and intend to supply the
language with new set of words. The fol-
lowing colloquy is found in yesterdays debate
on the Eliot bill
"Mr. Spalding remarked that there was alto
gether too much ni9ging in MIR. lie Blonds OBJ
"Ar. lie Blond retorted that there was little
else than niggi1i0 done in this Congress, in
which ms colleague had performed conspicu-
Gus part"
1t is fortunate for our reputation that we
were not in Mr.. lie Blond's place, for the
charge of nigging (2l would have been to us
like O'Connell's epithet of 'quadilateral' to a
fshwoman, it would have utterly overwhelmed
us with the yastncss and vagueness of insult.
With laudable desire to acquaint ourselves
with the new-coned word, we have consulted
Webster and Worcester, but by strange acci-
dent this elegant phrase has entirely escaped
them. We are accordingly left at sea in re-
gard to what Congress has been guilty of. The
mind recoils with horror from the prospect
opened by speculation as to what "nigging"
may mean. What can it be? Congress has
done nothing but nigging." Is it the duty of
Congress ''to nigg?" Can nigging mean rob
bing2 Or is some other yet greater crime in
sinuated? We find each side uniting in the
accusation that the other does not only ''nigg"
occasionally, but that during the entire ses
sion it has been in the habit of
indulgng in that diversion. Now the
only things that are habitual to Congressman
are talking, smoking and drinking. 1t may
mean any one of these customs, but then Mr..
Spalding drags us away from this happy
solution by stating that 'there was too much
nigging in Mr.. lie Blond's observations" :" Now,
then, may there not be too much drinking in
his observations, or too much smoking, for they
were all smoke. We must therefore infer that
''nigging' means talking. And if that be the
result, we perfectly agree with both Messrs.
Spaulding and lie Blond in stating that there
has been too much 'nigging." Yet this solu-
ton is not final, and we still leave our columns
open to any one who can answer the question,
"What does 'nigging mean?"

PROGRESS OF LBERIA.-As Americans, we
cannot fail to feel an interest in the progress
the young Republic of Liberia, founded by
colored settlers from the United States, in
West Africa. A few months since one of the
citizens of Liberia, J. L. Crusoe, sent to the
United States for vessel to be built and
named ''Edina," after the place of his resi-
dence. at the mouth of the st. Johns river,
On Thursday next, another vessel will be
launched in New York, to be called the A.
Lincoln, built for the enterprising firm of
McGill & Brother, at Monrovia. The Edna
cost $4,000, and the A. Lincoln, $4,000.
The latter will sail for Liberia on the 10th Of
this month. The trade of Liberia in palm oil,
camwood, sugar, coffee, ginger, ivory, etc, is
steadily increasing. Would it not be well to
have a line of vessels running from Philadel-
phia to Liberia!

THE GREAT REFORM DEMONSTRATIONS IN Lon
DoN.-The great Reform demonstration in
London on Monday was a splendid success.
No cheers for the Prince of Wales, none for
Prince Alfred, each of whom witnessed the
display, but nine cheers, from twenty thou
sand men, with uncovered heads, as they
passed the American embassy; no Good save
the Queen" from the various bands, but
yankee Doodle" the "Marseilles," 'John
Brown" and the ''Garbaldi' hymn,-these
together with such notices as "Liberty,
Equality, and Fraternity" Manhood suf-
frage," ''Taxation without Representation is
Tyranny" sufficiently indicate the character
and animus of the great demonstration.
The English nation is fast approaching
crisis whose only issues will be radical reform,
or tremendous revolution. Meanwhile the
Government palters, and apparently fails to
comprehend the gravity of the situation.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.


Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shares
are quoted at 1877.
One of the New York papers says
that dividend of per cent. on Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh is talked of.
The Laurel Fork and Sand Hill Rail-
road was formally opened on Tuesday,
as far as White Oak, by an excursion
party from Parkersburg.
Concerning the potato market the
Pittsburgh Gazette, of yesterday, says:
Under the influence of increased ar
rivals, and IA diminished demand, the
market is dun and prices have still
further declined. They were offered
freely to-day at 80, and sales were re-
ported considerable below that figure.
We infer from the following para
graph in the Parkersburg Daily Times,
that money is wanted down there:
Money is still plenty in New York
and other large cities, at very low rates.
Could our City Bonds not be cashed ?
We think they could, and secure plenty
of funds to complete our Improvements
and produce stir in our trade.
Concerning the Crude Oil market, the
Pittsburgh Gazette, OF yesterday, re-
marks:
The market was remarkably quiet
to-day, but a single sale reported, one
thousand barrels to be delivered be-
tween the 10Th of August and the 18th
of September, sellers option, at l2c.
Spot oil may be quoted at from II to
l21<c, and under the Influence of the
advices from New York and Oil City
this afternoon, we should not be sur
prised TO see an excited market and bet
Ter prices to- morrow. A telegram from
the last named place this evening
quoted the market excited, at SO 75 at
the wells, which would be 81 strong at
Oil City. The same telegram also
stated that Cleveland buyers were
"pitching in" pretty freely.
In regard to express stocks the New
York Commercial Advertiser of We'd
nesday evening says:
The interest in express stocks is well
sustained. Merchants Union appears
to be losing ground in public conf
dence, and the old companies' stocks
are bought up at advancing prices, in
anticipation of a termination of the
war in their favor. Adams sold at 741S
at the first Open Board. United States
is especially firm.
The following clip is from the dry
goods article of the New York Inde-
pendent:
The dry goods market is very favor
able for purchasers; the supply of sea-
sonable goods is large, and prices still
remain at the summer depression. The
early fall trade, which usually begins
in the latter part of July, is not yet per-
ceptibly felt; but when 1t comes along,
as it certainly must come soon,
it will doubtless cause prices TO
stifTen up. The first come will
be the best served. Manufac-
tureFs keep their agents well supplied,
and this supply keeps prices from
rising. In imported goods there Is but
little doing. Tmportations have begun
to increase, but they are still long
way behind the imPortations. of 1856;
and yet there is n larger market for
goods this year than there was the last.
We have added three hundred thousand
consumers to our population by iInmi-
grafton alone, while the South and
Southwest are in a greatly improved
condition. so far as their ability to pay
Tor dry goods goes.
