CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET.

BEEF CATTLE@Including the small num-
Der left over from last week, the supply in
the sale pens this morning embraced some
$3.50 head-a moderate supply for a Tuesday.
There was a full attendance Of nearly all
classes of buyers, and stimulated by the i'm
proved tenor Of Eastern advtces, trade open-
9 sharp n ruled fairly active throughout.
The weather was by no means favorable for
an active movement, a drizZling rain falling,
with but slight intermission, during the en-
tire day, but this did not appear to check op-
erations materially, nearly 1000 head chang
ing hands during the day. The offerings,
though not entirely satisfactory. was such as
to give but little ground for complaint, the
major portion consisting Of fair to good Cows
and medium to gOOd Steers. The shipping
demand was chiefly on New York, Albany,
BufalOand Pittsburgh account and, for suita
BILE Oneridgs, ready sale was found at $500
800 for medium tOfair grades, and S6,EG7,l2H
for good to choice qualities. City butchers
bought freely at s3,5OG5,O for common mixed
lots to choice fat wsandl light neshy Steers.
There was but a comparatively light inquiry
for "~stockers,' as but few feeders have as yet
put in an appearance. A few sales were re-
ported in their favor at prices ranging at
SS,O094,75 for common to good lots. Packers

AND STILL THEY COME.

William NARROW, Esq, of Warsaw, In
diana, who was the Republican candidate
for Justice of the Peace, in that township,
last spring, has left the Radicals, and
ranged himself on the side of the Democ-
raCy. .....
The editor of the Ripon wisconsin
Representatives, a Republican paper, has
turned his back upon the Jacobins. He
says the leaders of the Radical party are
political hacks" "renegades from the
Democratic ranks" notorious thieves"
The domination of Grant, he says, has sick
ened thousands of Republicans throughout
the land, and the party will Sustain defeat
uert November as sure as that time comes.
Mr.. BabcOck, leading and influential
Radical of st. Louis, Missouri, has dis.
solved his connection with the Radical
party, and boldly avOws his intention to
vote for Seymour and Blair.
General Schouler, formerly editor of
the State organ Of Ohio, the Columbus
Journal, then of the Boston Advertiser,
afterwards on the military staff of the late
Governor Andrews, and recently elected a
member of the Massachusetts State Senate,
is the Democratic candidate for Congress
against Beast Butler, in the fifth district of
Massachusetts. . ..
The Bryan, Ohio, Democrat publishes q
letter from Mr.. A. Price, of that county, a
lifelong opponent OF the Democratic par

Price sewers his connection with the Radi-
Gals, and announces his determination to
give his influential support hereafter TO the

Hon. JANIS l. Orr, in his farewell ad.
dress to the peofl e of South Carolina, de-
votes considerable space to the question Of
equal suffrage, which policy be thinks will
prove detrimental to the interests of the
people. 10 time, however, when the inju-
~ il has worked becomes apparent, the
suffrage, he holds, will be restricted (the
negroes themselves co-operaiiBg) TO those
who have intelligence sufficient to enable
them to Judge of the fitness and capacity
ofthose who may aspire to represent them,
both in the State and Federal councils. He
states that at one time in 1867 it had been
agreed among some Southern men and
leading Republicans in Congress that a
constitutional amendment should be adop-
ted for qualified negro suffrage instead Of
the l4th amendment, bit N orth Carolina
rejected the propositions and that ended the
matter. tA i "a itt t--.

THE NORTHWEsTERN CROPs.

We do not hear Of any injury resulting
TO the crops in the Northwest from th e hot
weather. On the contrary, it is Just what
is needed to ripen the wheat in more
northern latitudes, and to bring forward
the corn In Northern Ohio the Ashtabula
Sentinel has never seen better prospect
for wheat, and corn is in much better
condition than usual. Much of the hay
crop has been cut. Oats will be ripe by
the time wheat is gathered, and barly is
already waiting for the scythe. In North
ern Indiana the wheat crop is excellent,
and the prospects for corn are good. In
indianapolis new red wheat is selling at
81 60 per bushel, and white at 81 IS, with
fair receipts. HA b.
The Michigan harvest is in active pro-
gress, and the papers throughout tn State
estimate the average yield per acre much
higher than usual. The Saginaw Enter
prise says: go. li..-...
Farmers are hard at work harvesting
their magnificent wheat crop Michigan
never soEed more acreage and the crop
never proved better. We have visited a
large portion Of Oakland, Genesee, Tuscola
and Saginaw counties, and believe the
wheat crop 10 be beyond the most sanguine
expectations Of the farmers. The insect
has scarcely made its appearance, though
we have learned of few fields in the State
being visited by the nudge. .r....
"The corn crop looks decidedly promis-
ing and during the past few days it has
grown wonderfully. Rain at this time is
much needed, although the crop as yet is
not absolutely endangered. In Genesee
county and in other parts of the State where
hops have been cultivated, the crop looks
we'll and promises better than on previous
years. and the insect has not made its APP
pearance. Farmers are inclined to think
that this crop is uncertain until it is sacked
and at the depot, so many promising crops
have proved utter failures.
Taking everything into consideration,
the wheat, barley, hay, corn, potatoes and
hop crops never looked better, and farmers
have every reason to praise God, and be
happy"

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT in BEL.
OHM

A disagreement has arisen between the
Belgian Ministers Of War and Justice The
latter, Mr. Jules Bara, some time ago pre-
sented TO the Chambers bill for the aboli-
ton Of capital punishment. II has not
vet been acted on, but the bill is practi-
cally carried out BY the minister, who as
serts that he will submit no sentence Of
death for the signature Of the King. The
latter, moreover, countersigned the bill pre-
scented BY the Minister to the Chambers,
and is thus partially pledged in opposition
10 the death penalty.
In the meantime a military court-martiAi
has sentenced 10 execution a sergeant for
killing his captain, and General Renar,l,
Minister of War, insists that to msintain
discipline, il Is necessary thst the man
should be shot. He considers that IL ci vii
isns are not executed soldiers, At least,
should be.
The dispute has caused considerable
journalistic discussion. Opposition to the
execution is general. tits thought that il
a man is not hung loT numbering his father
he should not be shot for killing his cap

EARTHQUAKE WAVES ON THE
PACIFIC

An earthquake wave which followed the
recent eruption in the SandW ich Islands,
was transmitted to this coast and recor ded
on the government selfregistering tide
gauges at San Francisco and Astoria, in
about five hours. On the 23d of December,
1854, similar wave was transmitted from
the coast Of Japan to the Golden Gate in
twelve hours and thirty-eight minutes. It
will be recollected that this earthquake wave
caused the wreck Of the Russian frigate
Diana in the port Of Simoda, and great loss
Of life.
These facts, which are derived from the
best authority, convey very impressive
idea Of the tremendous power required 10
disturb the whole body of an ocean, for q
distance of from three to FIVE thousand
miles, by movement distinct from its or
binary tidal swing. Ii will be seen that
the revulsions of the great tidal wave At
Hawaii reached this coast, distant over
two thousand miles, in FIVE honrs, and was
observed along a stretch of shore over
thirteen geographical degrees in length
