ARREST OF MURDERRR-From the
Whitehall Chronicle, of Saturday last,
we learn the particulars of the arrest Of
a murderer aud bigamist in that village,
few days since. The following are the
facts:
Considerable excitement was created
in our village on Wednesday morning,
by the appearance of an officer from
Scranton, Pennsylvania, with q requisi-
ton from Gov. Geary, endorsed by Gov.
Fenton, and warrant for the arrest of
a man calling himself James Dougherty.
This man was charged with the robbery
and murder of a DR.. Duggan, in scran-
ton, on the 21st of May last. 1t appears
that on the evening OF that day, the
Doctor was followed into his office by
some one who dealt him blow on the
fracturing the skull, and producing
death. The Doctor was known to have
about $500 in money about his person,
which, after the murder, could not be
found. About the same time this man
became suddenly flush of money, exhib.
iting it quite freely, and giving it away
generously enough. About the same
time his wife left him, and went to her
parents in Rondout, on the Hudson. He
was urged by a widow in Scranton, to
procure divorce, but hesitated, on ac-
count Of the length of time it would
take, and the expense to be incurred.
the widow finally offered him Sl75 with
which to procure the divorce, and agreed
To marry MIN herself wheu it should br
obtained. He took the money, but in
stead OF commencing proceedings for
divorce, started Immediately for Ron
dout. His wife, however, refused to
have anything to do with him, and he
turned from her to German girl in that
place, whom ne persuaded to elope with
him, arriving here about the 18th of
June. In the meantime, suspicion had
attached to him in Scranton on account
Of his show Of money, and on account
Of his disappearance from the place. He
was traced to Roudout, the duped widow

GRN. CANDY APPOINTED TO sIULEs
PLAcR.-The President on Monday is
sued the ofacial order fully anticipated
removing Gen. Sickles from the COM

and appointing Major General E. R. Can
by In his place. The President, in the
order, directs Gen, Grant 10 make future
disposition of Gen. Sickles, and Gen.
Candy is required to assume immediate

curious in the relations of Of the admin

Grants accession to the War Office, in
structions were issued by him to Gen.
Sickles not to interfere with the process
Of the courts of the United States. 1t
was reported that Gen. Sickles asked a
suspension of this order till he could be
heard from. This his friends deny. But

General Grant and the President.

We publish in full this morning the
ringing letter written by General Grant
to the President, and his reply full OF
special pleading on the subject of the
removal of General Sheridan from the
command of the Fifth District. Grants
letter Is the full expression of patriotic
soldier, and is worthy of the man, show
ing conclusively his opinions in relation
10 the affair, and dispels all doubts OF
his position, effectually silencing the
clamor raised by Greeley, as to the
Lieutenant Generals agency in making
the substitution Of commanders. The
objections to the removal of Sheridan
are those Of every loyal man in the
country. The arguments advanced are
bold and incontrovertible. Gen. Grant
has thus placed on record the fact that
he does not support the acts of the
President, and plainly indicates his de-
sire to carry out the wishes of the peo-
pie. The letter comprehends the subject
in all its relations, in brief, earnest
and direct way. 1t fully endorses sheri-
dams administration, that he has per-
formed his civil duties faithfully and in
telligently, and that it is the expressed
wish of the country that he should not
be removed, recognizing clearly that the
will of the people is the law of the land
in republican government.
The President makes an inefficient
answer, without sound arguments to
support his position. He devotes most
ofhis letter to the old discussion so
familiar to all who have read his veto
messages, about the constitution. He
ignores the will OF the people, and
goes on the principle that his will Is
superior to that of the loyal people OF
the country, and that he is their die
tator and not their servant.
Nothing is specified that has been
done by Gen. Sheridan to violate the
constitution, but talks Of his tyrannical
acts, and that his management has
brought him in antagonism with the
people, leaving affairs in his district ir
a disturbed condition. The only dis
turbance apparent seems to among the
rebel population of that section, and thu
only disturbance among the loyal people
is that theyare annoyed with the prospec
of Sherldan's removal. 1t is gratifyin.
fact that this correspondence is spread
before the country, awakening the peo
pie to the situation OF public affairs il
reference to reconstruction, and the arrog
ance of the Executive in his endeavors t.
defeat the will of the loyal millions G
the country, also exhibiting the precis
relations between the acting Secretary @
war and the President. 1t will awake
an earnest and vigilant public sentimen
and give the people confidence In tn
integrity, patriotism and purpose c
General Grant. After the revelations c
this correspondence, in the approachin
elections the voters will go to the ballo
box with firmer determination to ex
press their views upon the great issue
before the country. The President full
understands that they will support Gran
and Congress, and repudiate him and hi
horde of rebel advisors.

FATAL SHOOTING APPRAY AT SARATOGA.
j. Theodore Jones Of Hudson, N. j.,
deputy Tailor o. Hudson County, was
fatally sshot st Saratoga last Sunday
forenoon, by man named Jack Kirtly,
keeper OF the billiard saloon under the
Leland Opera House. 1t seems that
Jones arrived there, in company with
several friends about an hour before the
sad occurrence, which cost him his life.
The party was partly intoxicated, and
excited considerable attention by their
ungentlemantly conduct with each other.
An hour or so after the party arrived at
the hotel, they went into the boot-room
where Kirtly was seated having his boots
BACKED. Jones approached Kirtly in 3
familiar manner and picked up cane
that lay across his knees, when Kirtly
requested him to lay down the cane and
keep away, as he did not know him.
This remark led to some other impro-
priety on Jones part, when Kirtly
pushed him one side. Jones then slapped
him in the face or on the knees, when
Kirtly drew pistol and fired. Jones
sled in about six minutes. The muir
derer was promptly arrested, and con-
fined in the county Jail. Various rumors
are afioat in relation to the shooting
affair, among others, that an old feud
existed between the parties previous to
this meeting which has resulted so sadly
and fatally to Jones. Kirtley is from
Baltimore, and is about twenty-five
years Of age. Jones was about twenty.

entertainment. Unfortunately, he is en-

Springfield, but the winning post is Bos-
ton. In plain English, the 4Oth Of 0cto
Der is the day appointed for the annual
migration of the family to which the
horse belongs from Pitts6eld to its city
quarters. Now, my past experience has
taught me that in this match against

FINANCE AND TRADE
WOOL MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

The market is very far from active,
says the Economist, when the season OF
the year is considered. A few years ago,
and manufacturers were buying freely,
in fact, August, September and October
were three months i'll the year in
which near three-fourths of the wool
which came into this market was sold.
But the character of the wool trade has
greatly changed-manufacturers are
averse to speculation, and the prospect
of the trade tor woOlens is such as to
prevent such a thing if there was any
desire to do so. The old stocks of wool
en- goods are selling slowly aud at con-
tinually reduced prices. New goods are
selling but l. small quantities: the day
of heavy buyers seems to have gone by:
this is the order Of things in every de-
partnent: everybody buys slowly. The
cabinet imbroglio is not assisting bust
Hess at all; and while every one feels
that there is a falling market, none de-
sire to purchase Very freely, because il
is we'll understood that any excitement
in any department OF business would
certainly result i'll an advance of price,
and every one desires to avoid any
cause for such a result: these remarks
apply to every department as we'll as to
wool.
The coming month is looked forward
to as one which should bring - good de-
gree of activity, not only in the goods
market, but also in the wool market.
How far expectations will be realized
remains to be seen. Activity there may
be TO some extent, bur we do not think
it will he in consequence Of low prices,
and every attempt TO carry up the price
will he followed by a withdrawal from
the market. The prospect for an ad-
vance in wool is not very promising.
Goods do not advance; the demand Is
not so active as to encourage manutac-
turers to increase production. The
amount of goods produced now is not
