have never had any association with any
political party whatever, Whig, Democratic
Free Soil, Abolition, Known Nothing, kepuon-
can, Radical. or Woman's Rights, while
Greeley has been founderiDg about in the mud
and filth of all of them by turns. Our mission
has been to support good measures, without
regard to the source from which they came,
and to denounce bad measures and bad
men, irrespective of political considerations.
Our independence of all party has enabled us
to stand firmly by the interests of the people,
and we have never accepted any '1oaves and
fishes" from any administration, nor soiled
our hands by any association with any party
broker or lobby agent. To be sure, President
Lincoln rendered us the mission to Paris as
Johnson offered Greeley the mission to Vienna;
but in both cases the honor was declined. We
support Grant because we recognize in him
soldier and patriot who is Independent of
party, and over whom political wire workers
can exercise no influence nor control, and we
shall press his claims to the Presidency with
the more vigor because we find the whole pack
of political bloodhounds snarling and yelping
at his heels. -. -

The Ashley-COnOver Conspiracy.

From the WOTld.
Not the least extraordinary circumstance
connected with the Ashley Conover conspi-
racy to suborn witnesses to implicate Presi-
dent Johnson in the assassination scheme. is
the manner in which the whole matter has
been treated by the leading journals of both
political parties The Democratic press natu-
rally hesitates to accept as trustworthy any
thing coming from such a source as Con
over-a convicted perjurer, sentenced to
the penitentiary, and to whom par
don has been refused. The radical journals.
on the other hand dare not say that Conover's
remarkable statements about Ashley, But
Ter and Company are false. The Tribune.
to be sure speaks of the whole as ga pre-
tended revelation of radical wickedness. -
but it does not claim that Ashley's notes to
Conover are fOrgeries; on the contrary, it
admits that Ashley wrote them, and characte-
rizes them as "brief and meagre," and saws
that they ''oan only be linked with Conover's
charges by powers of imagination" which the
Tribune thinks would be extraordinary for Mr..
Stanbery. Nor does Mr.. Ashley deny his con-
neetion with Conover in this affair. Butler is

Anomalies In tho wheat Market.

From The World. . ....
Our market for breadstuffs presents no end
of anomalies at this time. That which is
noted in our report of yesterdays business
illustrates how completely we are dependent
upon the new crop of wheat for bread. There
is very little old flour, or flour from old
wheat, in the market, and so great is the COM
petition for the old, that medium grades from
spring wheat bring as much as flour of choice
grades from new winter wheat To illustrate.
The highest grades of old flour from spring
wheat sold yesterday at Sl3 per barrel, while
double extra Ohio, from new wheat, could be
bought at $12 Extra State that had become
sour sold from nine to ten dollars a barrel,
while new seconds" of winter sold at
1926. Of course, every day improves
the new flour, and it will grow
in favor with the bakers. Until they use
it, however, no great increase can be expected
in the size of lOaves. There is another un-
usual feature to the trade There is scarcely
any wheat on the canal bound for tide water
The last statement gave the quantity at 35, 900
bushels. The statement of the stock made up
yesterday showed that we had in store only
$4,000 bushels, or about one weeks supply
for four millers. Whence, then, the supply (?
1t is coming forward by rail, mainly over the
Erie Road. This road brought large quantities
of corn to this market last spring, when specu-
latOrs had carried up prices to extreme figures;
it has received sufficient encouragement to
make special arrangements for the transporta-
ton of grain in bulk; and it is well that it has
done so; for, without the supplies thus de-
hvered to us, our local millers would now be
idle for the want of wheat. The past has in
deed been a memorable year in the markets
for flour and grain; and we must hope that we
shall not again come so near to the famine
which we have barely escaped.

Alleged Bribery and Corruption il
Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va, August 13.-The case of Col.
lector James, indicted for malfeasance in office,
was tried yesterday in the Omitted States Circuit
Court. Captain Smith, the principal witness
for the prosecution, was examined to prove the
reception of bribe OF $1,000 on the part of the
Collector. The witness stated that James re-
ceived the money on the pretense of its being
offered in recompense for the use of his patent
separator, an apparatus for discriminating high
from low wines. One of the party, who sub
scribed the $1,000, testified he had no other mo-
tive tnan that of securing the use of James
separator. After this the case was adjourned.
Three counts in the indictment were quashed at
the opening of the proceedings, and but one
count, that of the alleged bribe, remains, upon
which the tIial is based.
Kelly, who assaulted Captain Smith, exIDter-
nal Revenue Inspector, as mentioned in pre-
vious despatch was discharged, Smith falling
to appear as prosecutor, being apprehensive, 1T
is said, of unpleasant domestic disclosures.

The surratt Trial.

From Me Times.
The endeavor of Washington correspondents
to explain the result of the Surratt trial by
reference to the geographical origin of the
jurors, is puerile. AS matter of fact, nothing
is or can be authoritatively known touching
the ballots of the jurors at the best, the
reports in circulation are gossip and conjec-
ture. But assuming the correctness of the
statement that the eight who were for acquittal
were born in certain localities while the four
who favored verdict of guilty were born in
other localities-what thenY Does it follow
that the eight are less likely to respect their
oaths, or less capable of judging OF the evil
dence, than their fellows Is it not quite as
probable that the four were in this position
Or if it be said that the eight were intent upon
acquitting the prisoner at all hazards, is it not
equally fair to assert that the four were intent
upon convicting him, with OF without evidenoe9 ?
The argument cuts both ways, and is too silly
to he used seriously. Besides, the accom-
panying intimation that on a charge of con-
spiracy alone an unanimous verdict of guilty
would have been at once rendered, disproves
the other feature of the story.
Whatever partisans may say on the subject,
the great body of the public recognize wide
room for doubt in the testimony adduoed.
That Surratt is guilty of some crime is uni
versally conceded, but 1t does not follow that
he should be hanged for murder, whether the
evidence was conclusive or not. The angry
state of the public mind which would have in
sisted upon that conclusion is happily ended.
With the restoration of the forms of civil law
came fair play even for suspected murderer
with all the chances of the Jury system, To
interfere with that system aVOwedly to secure
a conviction in this case-as some indiscreet
writers suggest-would be utterly indefensible
The Springfield Republican remarks Justly
that any new trial on which the Government
may enter should proceed on charge of par
ticipation in the conspiracy, leaving complicity
In the assassination out of the account.
Otherwise, another trial would be a useless
expenditure of time, money, and temper, and
altogether an unsatisfactory experiment.

General GiIImore and Negro sufrrage.

FREMONT Ohio, August 1.-The Democratic
Messenger of this city, in one of its issues OF this
week, contains an editorial notice of a serenade
given to Major-General @. A. Gilmore, last
Saturday evening, at the residence OF Captain
Flint. After stating that the General thanked
the serenading party Sin neat and sensible
speech" the notice closes with the gratultous
statement : He does not go for negro
suffrage" This assertion is directly opposed TO
the Generals well-known sentiments upon the
suffrage question, and so entirely at variance with
his official conduct and antecedents while In COM
