The HOP FEysn Ira Tran1pIp Rr-

The sHoP FEVER -Irs TERRIBLE Re-
SUITS. And now,sat last, comes the hop
fever, which has just proved SO disastrous
and fatal in Wisconsin and some other dia-
tricts Of country. The great price Of hops
in the past two years, owing to the small
area devoted to their culture during the
war, and to partial failure of the crop.
carried many men into the hop business,
under the hope Of realizing heavy profits,
who would never otherwise have invested
dollar in it. The amount of fine grain land
planted to hops in Wisconsin in the past
summer was prodigious. Multitudes Of
farmers, sure Of q golden harvest, with
hops at sixty cents per pound, as in 1861,
turned all their energies in that direction,
neglecting the GLOVER methods of ordinary
industry. Hundreds of families, it is said,
have not raised wheat enough to furnish
bread for their families. Meanwhile the
uncertain crop of the stimulating creeper
has been more than half destroyed by mold
and insects, while at the same moment the
price of hops has declined in the market
from fifty or sixty to seventeen and twenty
cents per pound. The result is disastrous
in the extreme. Men who had spent all
their means upon hop culture, and even
mortgaged their farms in the assured hope
Of raising speedy fortune, find themselves
no means left them with which to begin
anew. Will their bitter experience be an
effectual warning to any Of that great class
who are continually making haste to be
rich Cincinnati Commercial.

WHAT WE ARE TO EXPECT FROM Mr..
sEYMouR.---In his first regular campaign
speech, made at Rochester, N. Y, on We'd
nesday last, Mr.. Seymour indicated his
presidential policy in the following Ian
guage:
+" Suppose the people of the United States
see fit to elect Democratic President
Voices They will!' cheers land a
Democratic Vice-President, what them Is
your Government changed? Do we hold
unqualified power? Could we mako war ?
Could we control the legislation Of the
country What will our powers be under
the laws as they now stand You have
seen Chief Executive of these United
States shackled by legislation you have
seen him arraigned as criminal before
the court you have heard the majority Of
that tribunal pronounce him guilty man,
and he. would have been deposed from
power had they not lacked one vote
to make two-thirds of the Senate to sane
ton that action. Those statute laws
which to-day shackle and hinder the
action of Andrew Johnson would equally
shackle Democratic Executive, if we
succeed in this election. Our Republi-
can friends will control the Senate, they
will control the House Of Representatives,
they will control the army; for their can
didate is the General who commands that
army. How absurd, then, is this cry that
there is danger from an Executive thus
shackled and powerless even if he desired
to do wrong. ICheers.] It may be asked,
then, what do we gain if we change the Exc
cutive and place one of different party In
the Executive chair when his powers will
be SO limited? Just this, my friends !:
can do much to check the unwise action Of
the party now in power. He can do much
to protect the labor of this country from
unwise legislation. He can do much to
check in the future the dangerous policy
which threatens the dearest and most
vital interests of this country. [Cheers.]
But more than that, it is necessary
for the welfare Of the American peo-
pie that there shall be given popu-
lar verdict which will say that the policy
of the men in power is not such as meets
their approval. What we hope and aim to
do in this contest is to stay the progress of
confusion, usurpation, and unwise legisla-
ton. The men in power have neither
established successful system of recon
struction nor done anything to tighten the
burden which Expresses the people of the
North. [Cheers.] We ask you now that
by your votes you shall put some check
upon the unqualified power exercised by
the congressional party. If we do well in
the place you put US, and our conduct shall
be such that we gain your confidence, then
we shall ask you at another time and at a
future election to go on with the work of
reform, and reinstate in full power that
great and glorious Democratic party which
is identified with all that is glorious in the
history Of our country

Second DisDdtch, .

WHEELING, w. VA, October 23.-Com-
plete returns from Hancock and Ohio coun-
ties show Republican gains. The Demo-
cratic majority in Ohio county is l4O-a
Democratic loss of 500 on last year. Brooke
county is very close, but the Democrats
will probably have small majority. They
carried it by 73 last year. Wood, Harrison,
Jefferson, Mineral, and Marion counties
show large Democratic gains.
Marshall county is claimed by the Repub-
licans by 700 majority, which would be a
Republican gain Of over 500 on last years
vote. Partial returns from Mason county
give small Republican gain.
The Secretary of the Republican State
Central Committee claims the State by
reduced majority, and the election of
Duval Republican, to Congress in the first
district.
The Democrats expect large gains in the
southwestern counties yet unheard from.
The Democratic State Central Committee
claim the State by small majority.
1t will be several days before returns are
received sufficient to indicate the result.
I'm 1864 the Republicans carried the
State for Lincoln by 12,7l4; in 1866 Bore
man (Republican) for Governor carried it
by 6,644; and last year, upon vote for
the Legislature only, the Republicans car
ried the State by only 1881

Prisoners Killed I'm Jail.

New ORLEANS, October 23.-Last night
o number of persons disguised entered the
Jefferson Parish Jail, at Carrollton, and shot
two negroes. One of the negroes had been
twice condemned for rape on a white wo-
man, in 1866, and twice reprieved-once
by General Sheridan and once by General
Mower. The other was convicted Of the
rape and murder of a white girl aged eleven
years, in Jefferson parish, a few days ago.
The former was killed, and the latter will
probably die from shot in the head. No
other negroes were disturbed.

Fire ut Gretna, La.-Fisht with
Negroes.


NEW ORLEANS, October 23.-About 2
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
Gretna, opposite the upper parts of New
Orleans, which was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary. Reports became current
during the progress Of the fire that the
negroes had been discovered stealing the
goods rescued from the flames, when fight
occurred, in which two negroes were killed.
The negroes and whites gathered from ali
quarters, armed, and the fight promised to
become general, when q company Of in
fantry and body of police from New Orleans
arrived, and prevented further outbreak.
The negroes finally took to the woods, and
very few are to be seen in the neighborhood.
Nine or ten houses, all frame, we're de-
stroyed. The officers report oil quiet this
evening. -

Dry GooDs:-Notwithstanding the lex
there has been much better business done
in dry goods than could have been expect
ed. a good many western merchants will
be too much absorbed in politics till after
the November election to return hither, !;
but an increased business will be done after
the election is over. The improvement in
the price of the raw material, and the, in
creased activity among manufacturers, will
prevent decline in prices. In nearly all
classes of seasonable goods. prices are frmer.
In brown sheetings and -shirtings the
sales of the week have not been very heavy,
but the stock in first hands is comparatively
small, and rates afe firmly maintained.
Bleached goods are steady without any ma
terial change. No disposition is shown by
the commission houses to press sales,gan
our quotations are firmly maintained.
Prints are not very active. but the new
patterns adapted to the season sell freely,
while the old styles cannot be placed with
out reduction of full half cent a yard.
In muslin delaines there is a better bust
ness doing. The stock of desirable styles
is considerably reduced, and prices are
higher. The better styles bring about one
cent yard advance upon the opening
prices. Some of the new patterns show q
very great Improvement in this class Of
dress goods.
Woollens of various descriptions are in
steady demand, and prices exhibit q few
changes. Cloths and cassimeres are not in
quite as good demand as-they haTe-been,
but overcoatings command full prices, and
they are in greater request by the clothing
manufacturers. Woollen shawls are in
better demand, and prices are well main
tanned. Flannels are not in great demand,
but the prices are firm, and the market is
we'll supplied. The same remarks will APP
ply to blankets, which do not appear to be
in SO good demand as could be expected at
this season. +"
Foreign goods appear to have been more
affected by election week than domestics ;
but we presume that the real cause of q
temporary dizziness in foreign dry goods
has been the fluctuations in the price. Of
gold and the expectation that the public
sales by the Treasury Department would
produce something like a steadiness of value.
In this respect we think the trade will not
DE disappointed. The importers are doing
reasonably well, and seasonable fabrics
find a ready sale at satisfactory prices. The
auction-rooms have been well supplied and
well attended.-Ne,o York. Independent.
