NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Times
special says: A statement Is made in
certain journals that the committee on
elections, which has been taking testi-
mony in Kentucky, will probably re-
port in favor of Col. Mckee, in the Sth
district. Inasmuch as the COMMITTEES
have only been instructed by the House
to Investigate charges of disloyalty
against certain members from that
State, they will certainly not report
that the candidate who received ma
iority of the votes is entitled to the seat
of any member unseated for disloyalty.
A contested election case, of which
there are now five before the commit
tee, is altogether another thing.
The Worlds Washington special
SAYS, the Treasury Department feels
able to state that none of the counter
felt 7-3Os were out previous to August
LIST, and all persons holding the bonds
issued previous to that date will expe-
rience satisfaction in knowing that
they are good. It is said that bankers
in the zoIth are holding them back.

River Matters ut Crncinnatti by Tele.


CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-The recent rise
in the river has opened navigation here
for the large class boats. The Cincin-
natl and Louisville mail steamers, Uni
ted States and America, will resume
their regular trips between here and
Louisville, to-day.
- FoHlths CslciaRati Gd,etsc QTEaIt niOht.
The weather yesterday WAS such as
to cheer the- hearts of steamboatmen
and coal consumers A slight rain fell
early in the morning. About noou
water began to fall in large quantities,
which continued without inIermission
for several hours, when il Stacked again
until evening. AS we write il is rain
ing, and strong but not cold wind ia
blowing from the southwest. There
are prospects OF continuous rain during
the night.
Business on Saturday was consider
ably improved. Yesterday boats that
had arrived during the night and early
in the,morning, were busy dischOrging
freight, which WAS generally carried
OF the rapidly rising river. During the
day, also, several large boats made
their appearance at the wharf, to take
their places in the regular trades.
To-day we will have one boat loading
for Pomerey, two for Kanawha river,
one for Maysv1lle, two for Louisville,
one for Evansville, one for st. Louis,
one for Memphis, one for Arkansas
river, and two for New Orleans, be-
sides several steamers for short trades.
These will give our wharf an appear
anca of business which II has not ex-
hibited for months. In consequence OF
doubt as to the permanency of the pres
ent rise in the river, rates of freight
will be very little reduced.
The river has risen here four feet and
half since the present rise COM
meuced. By the marks at the water
works, there were seven feet ten inches
of water in the channel, at o'clock
last evening. We presume there Will
be at least nine feet this morning. This,
with what we have good reason to ex-
pect from Indications, will let boats out
of the river now loading for points on
the Mississippi. The latest from other
points will be found iu our dispatches.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 4.-Nearly 5000
emigrants arrived Saturday.
There were 357 deaths in this city
during the week ending November 2,
which is the lowest weekly record for
the past five years.
The steamer City of Antwerp, from
Liverpool, has arrived.
The New York and Havre steamship
directors to day resolved to discontinue
their line and sell their steamer. The
company find 1t impossible to compete
with the French steamers, owing to the
want of Government subsidy. This
will reduce tho number of American
steamers plying to European ports TO
to the Atlantic and Baltic on the Bre-
men line.
The opposition to the present man
agement of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company are out in Il card stating their
reasons for dissatisfaction with the
manner in which the affairs of the
company.are managed.
The Italian residents in this city who
sympathyZewith the cause of GaribHldi,
will soon hold mass demonstration at

Messrs. Walter Brown IL Cos Month
ly Wool Circular of the LIST instant,
says: The month of October was one OF
unprecedented dizziness in the Wool
trade. Prices. which were thought in
September to have reached the 10 vest
point, have been declining steadily,
and are now several cents lower than
our last quotations. Manufacturers
show less disposition to buy than at
any other time during the season, and
will not take hold with spirit, even at
figures which seem ruinous to the
owners. Most holders are DESTROYS OF
reducing their stocks, and to effect
sales are generally ready to make still
further concessions, especially on the
low and medium grades, which are
likely to be neglected as the season adj
vances. The Impression is, that trade
will drag along during the remainder
of the year without any material im-
provement, and although later in the
season, when stocks become tight, there
may be some advance in prices, it is
doubtful if it will pay for carrying
woods until then; at the same time il is
evident that wool and woolens are re-
latively cheaper than other staple ar
ticles, and that, however long delayed,
IA reaction must finally come.

RICHMOND, Nov. 2, 1867.
At the election held in the State oI
Virginia, on the 22d day of October.
1867. and the following days, for dele
gates 10 the State Convention, and TO
take the sense of the registered voters
upon the question whether such Con-
Vention should be held for the purpose
of establishing constitution and civil
government for the State loyal to the
Union, one hundred and sixty-nine
thousand two hundred and twenty
nine votes were cast upon the question
OF holding a Convention, OF which
number l07, 342 were cast for Conven-
ton and 6l,797 against a Conve-
ntIon. The whole number OF votes
cast upon that question being
majority OF the whole number
of registered voters in the State,
and the number OF votes cast for
IA Convention being majority of all
the votes cast upon that question, the
Convention will be held as provided by
the Act of Congress OF March Odd, 1867.
The hall of the House of Delegates in
the city OF Richmond, and ten O'Clock
a. M, on Tuesday, the Sd day of Decenl-
Der, 1867, are designated asHhe place
and time for the meeting of the Con-
vention.
Then follows list of the delegates
elected in the different. cities, counties
and districts of the Slate. who are mott
fled to meet in convention at the time
and place above specified. The order
concludes as follows:
Each delegate will be furnished with
an official copy of this order, which
will constitute his certificate OF cleo
ton.
The complexion of the Convention is
as follows: Conservatives, 35; Radi-
Gals, 20; of the latter, 25 are negroes.

How Foreign Matters are Viewed by
rR,a

WASHINGTON, d. G. November g.
The attaches of the foreign legations
look upon the Italian troubles rs likely
to lead to more serious results than
have already appeared. The French
officials here declare that the course OF
Victor Emanuel is one of double-deal-
ing, and that he is secretly aiding Carl
baldi, in violation of the stipulations OF
the treaty of September, 1864, regal ding
the capital of Italy, and for which the
King, they say, will be called to &C.
country Napoleon. 1t is further stated
that the telegram of yesterday. to the
effect that Prussia Will intervene in the
Roman difficulties should such action
be necessary to preserve the peace OF
Europe, is wholly incorrect. Count
Bismarck has simply intimated de-
sire to be present at the conference pro-
posed by Monster, the French Minis
Ter ofState, to be held after the mate
rial difficulties of the Roman question
are settled.
