Boston Wool Market.

TIL. wool market is steady, with q con-
tiuunl tli- demand for all grades of do
nestle %. about previous rates. There is a
marked improvement. in the demand for
products, which La, developed "a better
feeling both oa the part OF holders and con-
-umcg- of Woo. Though the transactions
In this market DO NOT foot up so large an
aggregate as last week. this circumstance
Is principally owing to the fact tat hold
cr, arc mo-, now SO free sellers. at quoted
rates as .hey have been thus far since the
opening Of the wool season In fact. most
OF the choice Pennsylvania and Ohio
HeCce-. which have heretofore been selling
at relatively low rates, are now held for an
advance which is above the present views
of buyers. But the latter are in want of
these woods, to fill orders for fine goods. and
hence their acquiescence in the demands
Of sellers is simply question of time In
the meantime. they are free buyers of all
desirable grades OF wool offering at about
previous rates.
Some manufacturer, have rather antici-
Patcd their wants, on the strength of short
crop reports and the firm attitude Of West
en dealers. These are, in some cases, stock
edahcad to the extent Of one or two months
consumption. But there are many others

1 commercial prospects, have continued to
supply themselves from hand to mouth.
and hence are compelled to enter the mar

This class Of buyers seem to have about
made up thci minds that nothing is to be
gained by holding Off, and the indications
now are that they will make some heavy

The Great Cause of Freedom

A discu sion has been going on in
some Of the Western papers as to who is
entitled to the credit of first moving in
favor of the abolition of slavery in this
country There are various claimants for
the honor. The genuines and original
movers in the great cause of freedom have
long since departed. As early as 17l6,
tle Friends monthly meeting at Nantuck
ct recorded that sit is not agreeable to
truth for Friends to keep and purchase
slaves" John Woolman, the Quaker
preacher Of New Jersey, at the yearly
meeting at Newport, in 1850, talked very
plainly with the families whom he visited
concerning their slaves the wick
edness of slaveholding, and the
terrible consequences which it would in
evitably bring upon posterity Year by
year those who speak the "plain language
report diminutinn in their membership,
and humanity speaking, it is the world s
loss. They left their marks for good
wherever their patient feet have trodden,
among white men, as we'll as the slaves
and Indians. And in spite of their prime
dress and starched manners, fountain Of
poetry has dubbed out through their
quiet hearts that has found utterance in
the faVorite pages of Barclay and the
sweet lyrics Of Whittier.

An Important Decision,

The following is the language of Chief
Justice Sawyer, of the Supreme Court OF
California, in the case of the contested Pres
iien,ial Elector ofthat State. 1t was unan
imously concurred in by the associate justices
The opinion was read on the 4th of Decem-
Der last
''on the question submitted to Us by the Secre-
tsry OF State in respect to counting for D. Hof-
man, as Presidential Eiector, the votes cast for
ID. 4. Hoffman, our opinion is that the Secretary
has the power, and it is his duty. decide on the
returns before him and ali the surroundin g
facts of general notoriety, whether or not the
votes cast for 4. Hoffman really intended
by the voters to be cast for D. b. Hoffman; and
if he shall be satisfied of that fact it will be his
duty to certify them. And will add that
a. far as the facts are disclosed TO US, have no
doubt they were so intended"
Commenting upon which the San Fran
cisco Bulletin says:
"A year from now it will be a matter of won.
der that it could ever have been thoug tinecessa
ry to call upon the Supreme Bench to decide SO
simple a question. The general opinion alread y
is that but for plentiful lack of good sense on
the part of high officials, and tendency TO view
the plainest propositions through partisan me
dium no such issue could ever have be en- raised.
4 few more decisions like the above, will
put an end to the venal practice of some
persons, in issuing or putting in circulation
tickets containing photographed errors for
the purpose of vitiating the ballots, and thu.
defrauding the electors out of their votes

Postmaster General.

The suggestion, which we made several
weeks ago, that Hon. EDWARD NJ PHERsoN
was an eminently fit man to represent Penn
sylvania in Gen. Grants Cabinet, appears
TO be quite popular with the Republican
press of the State. The Reading Journal,
Stroudshnrg JeFersonian, Greensburg Her
aid, Pittsburg Commercial, Harrisburg
Telegraph, York Republican, Somerset Her
aid, Erie Republican, Bedford Inquirer and
Chambersburg Repository have all contain ed
favorable articles The Indiana Register
also has an editorial on the subject, in which
it says:
"Mr- M'Pherson has good record. Tie was
member of the 36th and 57th Congress At the
expiration of his second term he appointed
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and
on the assembling of the 3sth Congress was cho-
sen Clerk of the House, which position he has
continued to occupy ever since. In 1855 he re-
fused to enter upon the roll of the IL use the
names Of the Bogus Me bsrs Of Congress sent to
Washington by the Rebel States, and by so doing
saved the country from all the embarrassments
aud dangers that would have followed the defeat
Of the Congressional plan Of Reconstruction, which
would have inevitably been the result of their ad
mission. Mr. hPherson is a ripe SC olar and is
in every way we'll fitted for the place. His ap-
Pointnont as Postmaster General would only
be popular, but would, in opinion. prove nigh
ly satisfactory to the Republican party of Penn
sylvania, and trust the proper steps will be
ken to bring it about
The Johnstown Tribune copies the fore
going article, and adds:
This is well and truly said. Our Indiana CO.
temporary properly emphasizes the courage and
patriotism of Mr.. MPherson in December 1865
Wh.n he refused to place the roll of the House
of Representatives the names of Andrew John
sons Southern congressman. That fearless
and most timely act justly entities him to the
erlasting gratitude of every true-hearted Ameri-
citizen. Its value TO the country can be best
understood by i'm agining the Reconstruction pol
icy Of Congress to have been efectualIy blocked

gressmen who had been reconstructed after the
plan proposed by apCstate President. Mr..

that the general attention of the Grand Ar
