Wool.

The decline in the price Of wool and
the prevalence of foot-root among
sheep has caused something of a panic
among wool growers in this and other
States. Farmers are reducing their
stock rapidly, slaughtering the sheep
and selling their pelts and meat. A
writer in the Ohio Farmer estimates
that within two months past as many
as forty thousand sheep have been
slaughtered in Knox County alone, and
that a proportionate reduction has ta-
ken place in the counties Of Licking,
Morrow and Richland.
If this policy has been generally
adopted in wool-growing districts, the
yield of wool the coming year will be
greatly diminished, and a reaction in
prices must inevitably follow. The
farmers who hold over their focks will
realize the benft in a return to profit
able rates of production. It may re-
qUire little more nerve to do so ta-
king all the risk, but those who have
it viii come out with handsome net
result to show for it.-Ci71. Commercial.

Horace Greeley purposes to write,
during the year 1869, an elementary
work on Political Economy, wherein
the policy of protection to home indus
try will be explained and vindicated.
This work will first be given to the
public through successive issues of the
New York Tribune, and viii appear in
all its editions-daAyy seni-weekly and
Waakly.
Probably the most eentented Post
master in the world lives at PetropaY-
Iovsk, in Kamschatka. One regular
mail is received there annually; some
times the mail misses, as mails do
everywhere, and then the postmaster
has nothing to do for two whole years.
This happy official enjoys a salary of
three to four hundred roubles.

Mr. Greeley's Plan Of Resumption


Mr.. Greeley briefly presents his pIa n
to resume specie payments in the II i
bune as follows:
What we urge is that the Secretary OF
the Treasury, just as he now pays a EJzE IT
Of the matured obligations of the Cor :
ernmenG, shall be prepared to pay tn e
residue, and shall pau them on pFeseE :
tatiou. 20 This end the first indispeHs :
able condition seems to Us to be this
lie mast Be prepared to aneet any T5sE
upon the Treasury for gold By hdUIgg
Security to seI a0aich capitalists 1gtH con-
slider preferable to gold.
Is that hard of comprehension Is It
inherently absurd Suppose there
We're now an eager, eapricious market
Tor forty-Year bonds, untaxable and
specifically payable, principal and in
terest, IN gold, and bearing five per
cent. Interest, or for one hundred year
bonds at four per cent. above par on
| the principal exchanges of Europe as
weu as this country, and suppose the
| Secretary authorized to issue either OF
these bonds as he might deem expedi-
ent in redemption of the outstanding
greenbacks, would there be any remain
| ing obstacle to Resumption-2nY need
Of more gold in the Treasury to justify
that step? Let bankers and naOneyed
men answer.
The Greenbacks are now deprecated
because they are neither redeemal5le or
| fundable at the pleasure of the holder.
/ Had the provisions Of the original LIE
| gal-Tender act been maintained and
obeyed, so that every Greenback insight
have been and might still be funded at
| the holders pleasure in the FiYe-TWen-
| ties at par, we should haYe resumed
/ ere this without an effort. The step
next before as is to appreciate the value
/ of our Government bonds by making
them scarcer. Bring them to specie
par, make the Greenbacks fundable,
and Resumption is achieved. Thus the
Greenbacks will be appreciated by ap-
pTeciating the bonds

Army of Georgia.

During the late Army reunion at Chi
cago, the Army of Georgia, consisting
of the 14th and Goth corps, was organ
lied after the plan of the Societies of
the Tennessee and the Cumberland.
The following officers of the Society
were chosen:
President, Major General H. w. SIo-
cum. Vice Presidents, Gems. Jefferson

alton fee was dispensed with, and all
honorably discharged officers of the
Army of Georgia were declared eligible
to membership on signing the roll.
The Constitution and Bylaws of the
Army of Ohio were, with Slight modifi-
cations, adopted.
Gen. Whittlesey moved a vote of
thanks to Gen. Cogswen for his able
Grafton. Adopted.
On motion, Generals Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Thomas and Hooker were
elected honorary n1embers of the sOci-
ETY.. F.
The Society of the Army of Georgia

The new bridge spanning the Missis-

strength thoroughly tested. The bridge
is pronounced a success. Its entire
length is 1 ,760 feet, consisting of four
spans of 225 feet each, two of 250 each,
and the draw of $50 feet long. The en-
tire bridge is composed Of iron and ma

At the recent English election the to-
tai vote for Liberal candidates for Par
lament was 1,208, ,857, while the total
vote for Conservative candidates was
only 799, ,155. This shows that the Lib

greater in proportion than the Liberal
majority in Parliament
The Delaware people, in addition
ton to their law for whipping in public
at occasional intervals the occupants Of
their jails, have another law which pro-
Vides that, for six months after cr1m1-
nal has served out his sentence, he shall
wear his prison uniform. Provision is
made, however, this is to be done in
case the discharged criminal remains in
the State, and the consequence is
that one of the first things done after a
prisoner is discharged is to get into
another State, where the parti-colored
prison dress can be laid aside.

Fortieth Congress.

Political resolutions transmitted to
Congress from the copperhead 1egisla-
ture of Oregon being discourteOus in
their terms, have been returned to that
body. Mr.. Wilson has introduced in
the Senate a joint resolution submitting
for ratification the following amend
ment to the constitution
ART. 10. No distinction shall be
made by the United States nor by any
State, among citizens in their civil or
political rights, on account of race,
color or previous condition. Referred
to the the Judiciary Committee. Mr..
Sumner has introduced a bill declaring
that the State Government of Georgia,
having failed to comply with the re-
construction acts, is provisional only,
providing for reassem bling and purging
of the General Assem- bly,, and directing
the President to furnish a military
force to protect life and property. Mr..
Ramsey reported from committee a bill
abOlishing the franking privilege. A
bill for the sale of the government prop
erty at Harpers' Ferry, has passed both
Houses. West Virginia gets for school
purposes all that the property brings
above the original cost. The House
has resolved by a vote of 154 to 81 that
all forms and degrees of population of
the national Indebtedness are odious to
the American people. Mr.. Jenckes'
Civil Service Bill is one of the most i'm
viii be reached at an early day. There.
is good prospect of its passage. The
credentials of Mr.. Menard, the coIored
member from Louisiana, have been re-
ferred to the Committee on Elections.
Senator Wilson has introduced bill to
reorganize the Supreme Court, fixing
the number of Associate Justices at
1 fourteen; and creating an equivalent
number of circuits. The same Senator
has introduced a bill in the Senate Civ
ing women the right to vote and be vo-
ted for in the District of Columbia. It
is becoming clear that ere long the ex-
pertinent of Women Suffrage must be
| tried somewhere in the United States.
About the only objection to the mea-
sure is that its adoption would weaken
| the family tie, introduces a new element
of discord in married life, and destroy
| that feeling of chivalric Difference now
manifested by the men of this country
toward the women. OF course, this is
mere assertion, and not argument, and
| the validity of these objections can only
| be tested by an actual experiment.

a splendid four-in-hand. and counts
his wealth by millions. Daniel
Drew or Vanderbilt could no doubt
''buy and sell him" a good many
times, yet It is none the less true that
his fortune is one of the marvellous
growths Of this marvelously growing
city.
In newspapers, which are the best
indexes of city growth and enterprise,
Chicago has made like advancement.
The Tribune, which has the lead in
wealth and influence. will in March
next move out of the filthy, crazy old
row Of bricks it has long occupied, in
to a splendid new, marble front. four
story building now in process of com
pletion. The Tribune is Radical in
politics and flies the flag Of free trade.
The Republican, editorially estab-
Iished by Mr.. G. a. Dana In '66, has
had hard fight for living room in the
journalistic field, but it is now said to
be firmly established and doing we'll.
It has in its motive power the elastic
sineWs of Young America, trained in
the Tribune Office, is in politics what
its name implies, and goes for tariff.
The Post, bright, vigorous and ath-
letio. has IN a few months of existence
leaped forward into the front rank of
Journalism. where, under the able
management Of DR.. Ray, it firmly
holds its place. It now occupies
jointly with the German Republican
organ a coy and beautiful new build
ing In which the two papers, German
and English, are printed on the same
presses, occupy the same apartments
and flourish and thrive together as
contentedly as twin brothers. The
Post is model evening paper, and
Republican of course.
The EUening Journal is a quiet,
easy going sheet that doesn't make
much stir in the world The height
of its ambition seems to be to get along
peaceably at the tea-tables and keep
within hailing distance of its feet
footed and robustious rivals It's
whereabouts is not known to Us.
The Times, the Democratic paper of
Chicago and the Northwest, is diabol-
ically brilliant, able, and enterprising.
Always fighting platoon of political
and financial opponents it neverthe-
less manages to keep in healthy
state of prosperity, and has made for
tune for its proprietor, Mr.. Story.
The Times has just got snug
ly settled in handsome and
finely arranged new four story build
ing and keeps son the go" twenty y-one
editors. This paper will be remem-
bered as the one which made the De-
moeraey nearly jump out of It's boots
about two years ago by presenting and
ably advocating the proposition that
the party take up and incorporate ne
gro or impartial" suffrage in its car
dinal principles. The party never COM
mitted more pig-headed and foolish
blunder than when it refused to adopt
the suggestion of the Times,
Finally, Chicago is a great place to
see, and in looking over it no one
could have more ohatty, intelligent,
and agreeable cicerone than onr friend
Charles A Andrews, Of the Daily
Times. He believes in his city with
the honest and enthusiastic admiration
of a true Ghicagoan, and knows all
about it.
And that is all we have to say of the
| Reunion.
