FOR fnE WEEK ENDING Jun. IS, isGi

We omit our extended review this morning, for
want of space, and In consequence OF the sameness
OF the rAarket. Business has been rather fiat, as
anticipated, and the changes in prices have been
slight. In dry goods there is no change whatever.
Fish remain the same last week, the new arrivals
not affecting lrices. Flour, which had downward
turn every day last week up 10 Saturday, recovered
on that day and went up 25c per Dbl; and fur
ther advanced on Monday and Tuesday, fully recov-
ering the dep resson it had experienced, and leav
ing quotations Tuesday the these of last
week Grain remains the same Hay is lower, and
dealers will not offer s25Qs2s tor pressed, &C
cording to quality. Iron is firmly held, and 30 are
tins, with an upward tendency. Lemons have ad-
vansed to $40 box for rcpacked.
Molasses is firmly held and there is no disposition
in importers to give way. The stocks ON hand are
not large. In oils there Is no change. Produce ia
quiet and unchanged. Beef il in reduced stock and
closes strong. Pork had downward tendency but
has recovered Its prices. Salt is plenty and unchang
ed In price. In sugars there has been an advance
on the refining grades which hss sent up refined, and
quotations are advanced 1-2c from last week s
prices. The demand fer our PORTLAND refined con-
tinues to be very large and they have an establish
cd reputation in the market.
The fluctuations in the geld market were very
slight last week and were limited to about Der
cent? 1881 being the highest point reached and 1874
the lowest. On Monday, 24th, it was steady at Is,

No serious attempt has been made to recon-
Gle the doctrines of the Presidents veto mes
sage with those promulgated in MIR. Stanbery s
recent oninion. ON the reconstruction acts.
The attempt would prove utterly futile, Tor
the views expressed in the two documents pos
lively s,ooar at each other. "A police power
NAV not properly be styled "an absolute mon
arcby," nor is the existence OF such monarchy
reconcilable with the coexistence ola civil
government "having all the powers and char
acteristics of State government, legislative,
executive and judicial" Finite intelligences
cannot conceive OF an absolute monarch
whose mere will is to have the place of all
law" while he yet has mo power to remove
the proper officers Of the States, either sxecu-
tive or judicial, or to appoint otlfer persons IN
their places"
These startling inconsistencies h"'o Do'"
kept constantly before the people py 'no ne
publican press ever since the Pupnca''oh Vi
the Attorney Generals opinion. Inc rienus
of Mr.. johnson can only urge, in extenuation
of this ontrare upon consistency, that Con-
,rrosS i. orilty of like vacillation. They hold
tb,t tho House and Senate, by passing the
bius over the Presidents veto, expressly repu-
dated the harsh construction contained in
.ho, document But such is not the case. The
.ct Of passing law after certain objections to
ito provisions have been raised is neither de-
NAL nor an affirmation of the facts alleged in
support of those objections. There is nothing
in this action of Congress which has the least
tendency to show that the members of that
body did not entirely agree with the Presi-
dents views of the powers conferred upon mill
itary commanders AS matter of fact we
know that they did not regard it as the Code
of Draco Mr. johnson represented it to be, and
it is equally certain that they did not regard ii
as the brutu,n futnaen which 1t has become I'M
der Mr. Stanberys manipulations.

PoLrrICAL MOVEMENTS AT WASHINGTON
While the President is accepting the generous
Inequalities of Boston, events are occurring
which will make it necessary for him to take
off his coat and go to work in earnest when he
returns to Washington. On the eve Oh HIS oe-
narture he hesitated to make known by acts
the decision of the government IN refatoh 70
the reinstatement of deposed Southern OIL
Gals and the punishment of the mistaken
district commanders. But he can delay no
longer A special dispatch to the Boston
Journal states that Gen. Sheridan's telegram
to Gen. Grant, declining to extend the time
for registration in Louisiana, in compliance
with conditional instructions from the Presi-
dent, on the grounds that the registration has
been completed and that he did not feel like
keeping up ar expensive board to suit new OF
ders, coming at the eleventh hour, was recelv-
ed at army headquarters to-day, and has not
vel been answered. The evening adminlstra-
ton organ calls upon the President to return
at once to his office and relieve and arrest
Sheridan for insubordination.
Secretary Stanton is growing uneasy in his
embarrassing position 1t is said that he will
tender his resignation if the instructions now
being prepared for the commanders of the
Southern military districts are sent to them be-
fore Congress assemblies in July. If however,
they are not issued until Congress comes to-
gether it is stated that he will retain his place.
Gen. Schenck has received such responses
from ;nembers of Congress that he feels war;
ranted in making the prediction that quo
rum will be present on the Sd of July.

ANOTHER REBEL RECONSTRUCTED. - Gen.

Is calling out responses in all directions, es-
uec;ally from ex-rebel soldiers. jeff. Thomp-
son of unpleasant memory, is cut with letter
to Prentice Of the Louisville Journal. After
expressing his hearty concurrence in the views
of Gen. Longstreet he concludes as follows:
Apologies for the past or promises for the
future would indicate want of confidence in
my own integrity, have simply done what
conceived to be my duty, and L propose to
do it now: The Confederate Government
wiped out State Rights the first year of its ex-
istence-a bloody war wiped out Slavery. and

ed is, will you accept citizenship under our

obsolete theories shall not govern me, for
will look facts in the face as they exist, and

PAREPAs CONCERT. - Deering Hall was
crowded last night by a fashionable and appre-
oiative audience, who greeted Madame Parepa-
Rosa and her associates with the most enthu-
siastic applause. The charming contratrice
was we'll supported on this occasion. Signor
Fortunes noble and thoroughly cultivated
voice showed to good advantage in tho opening
aria. Signor Ferranti Is inimitable in his
specially of the burletta. We have never heard
Largo al Factotum," more happily rendered,
and in "Gia la luna" and in the trio from "The
Barbiere," with Madame Parepa and MI. Ba-
ragli he was admirable. Mr.. Baragli in his
first piece did not seem in perfect voice, but the
slight difficulty soon passed away, and he sang

Carl Rosa played fragment from Trovatore
and Aud Robin Gray" with the delicate
etherial touch which all who have heard him
50 well know. His rendering of the fantasia
by Hauser was marvellous piece of instru-
mentatior, and showed well his codsummate
mastery of the violin.
The central attaetion OF the evening was of
course, Madame Parepa, whose appearance
WAS WclcohHcu Will stOrHl OI ENTHUSIASTIC
applause, and who was rapturonsly encored
after every piece In the familiar 20 luce di
quest anima," she sang with much brilliancy,
and in the "Nightingale's trill'' she exhibited
the delicious bird-like notes of her voice, and
her astonishing power of vocalization. In re-
Spouse to encores she gave one or two of those
exquisite simple ballads, in which she is quite
as delightful as in her more elaborate efforts.
Altogether it was one of the most brilliant
concerts which have ever been given in Port
land, and we are very glad for the sake of the
many who were unable to procure tickets that
another opportunity will be given this morn
ing to hear this fine troupe.
We cannot refrain from adding a single
word expressive of the very general apprecia-
ton by our citizens of the obliging courtesy Of
Mr.. Chase, Madame Parepa's gentlemanly
agent. To his efficient tact it is largely owing
that the arrangements for this concert were SO
satisfactorily made. a
