A GooD CHANCE FOR INvBsTING.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the prices of most all the
necessaries of life have gone up TO famine rates,
there are some particular branches of business
that compelled to sell at almost corres-
pondingly low rates. We forcibly
minded of this fact in passing the store of
Messrs. Evans IL Phipps. at the northwest cor
ner of Tenth and Arch streets. The low figures
marking their new styles of goods was proof
that, in dry goods at least, there is downfall
of prices. They are selling the most elegant
chintzes, cambrics. nainsooks, Marseilles, and
delaines and all descriptions OF dress goods;
all shades of percales, and towelling of all de-
scriptions, from the finest Birdeye to the heavy
Russia crash. We advise all our friends to give
them q call.

vendue, next Tuesday, by order of the Orphans
Court, executors and others, great variety of
valuable property. II has been the object Of
the firm, since its public sales have commenced,
to secure for competition the best properties
to be had; thus allowing Lhose VINO so WlSued,
the opportunity Of attaining a desirable estate.
Their enterprise in this department of business
has given always complete satisfaction to both

purchasers at each and every sale.
Their sale for next Tuesday, the 10Th
instant, will be one of the largest of the
season and as it includes very desirable real
estate, we doubt not but that it will excite brisk
competition.

A CURIOUS CAsE.-At an early hour this
morning, man, who did not give his
name, was before Alderman Beiter on
charge of breach OF the peace. 1t appears
that while paying visit to place at Walnut

of the inmates. He went there last night, and,
after making several loud boasts OF what he
was going to do, he drew pistol and threatened
to shoot somebody. The Alderman held the
redoubtable hero in $500 bail to answer.

Military Rule.

General Sheridan, commanding in
Louisiana, has, by virtue Of his military
authority, appointed a new Attorney
General for the State, and new NUM-
cipal officers and new Judge for the
CITY of New Orleans! If some military
potentate WillnoW establish a religion"
and create an order of nobility" we be-
lieve there will then be left unviolated
no single provision of the Constitution
of the United States.
The removal and appointment of
.s,n res of courts.of law by military
officer, is one of those significant strokes
at the very foundation of social order,
which mark the stage of revolution
which we have already reached. 1t IS
a new conceptions; till now, it probably
never entered the brain of any one liv-
ing in civilized country; its effect on
the minds of the American people, will
show how much they may retain OF the
love of civil liberty which burned in
the breasts OF their forefathers. The
Radical leaders assume that the whole
land is ripe for servitude; their hands
are raised to snatch the judicial power
from the judges and the executive pow
err from the President; all is to be en-
crossed and welded by the Radical
CLIQUE, through bureau and military
agents. But, in their intoxication, we
think they misiudge the American peo-
pie; each act that displays the Radicals
in their true colOrs, encourages our nope
that their rule built on impudence and
deception, is destined to no long con-
tinuance.
