ENGLAND REFUSES TO RELEASE HAL.
PINE.

The State Department has received
two dispatches from Reverdy johnson
in regard to the course the English
Government intends to pursue regard
ing Fenian prisoners. 1t will be re-
membered that the case of j. G.. Hal
pine and others was submitted to Presi-
dent Grant through Judge Carter, of
Cincinnati, acting on behalf of mass
meeting there. The President at once
sent dispatches to Minister johnson,
and directed him to try to secure the
release of the prisoners. Mr.. Johnson
immediately laid the matter before the
English Government. After consider
able delay he received in reply COM
munication containing a list of about
twenty prisoners whom 1t did not pro-
pose to release under any Circumstance
es. Among these were Halpine, CAT
ferty, Shaw, and Burke. Subsequent
ly Mr.. Johnson made second attempt,
and received a second answer reiterat
ing the determination of the English
Government to make no more releases
of Fenians. In closing his dispatch to
Mr.. Fish conveying this last informa-
ton, Mr.. johnson expressed the hope
that this action would be reversed at no
distant day, and at least part of the
prisoners be released. For the present,
however, the state Department sees no
ground to expect thar any of the Fen
ian prisoners whose cases have been
under consideration will be set at liber-
ty.- Wash, dispatch to Cincinnati Gazette.

DRY GOODS.

1t must be acknowledge that the
spring business in dry goods has thus
far been disappointingly small and
most unsatisfactory to all parties. The
season is not yet passed, and there
must still be considerable trade, but at
present IL is very dull, and prices have
a dropping tendency. There is a very
small trade in unbleached shirtings
and sheetings from the manufacturers
agents, and hardly any quotable change
i'll the prices of staple makes. In
bieached shirting there has been rather
more doing in the better qualities of
leading makes, and prices are better
sustained than for Inferior qualities.
But transactions are not large.
Printing cloths are dull and sales
low but the stock in first hands is not
excessive, which causes prices to be
steady. Sales of standard have been
made from IA to cents. a comsid-
cradle business is doing in medium
styles of prints of seasonable colors.
Prices are generally firm, and the de-
mand is reasonably good-better, per-
haps, than for any other kinds of do
nestle cotton fabrics.
Ginghams are in very limited request,
but prices are well maintained. Print
ed lawns and percales, beng at this
season in better demand, sell readily at
full prices for the new and desirable
styles, but the common qualities do
not command good prices. Rolled
| jaconets and cambrics are without any
marked change. The demand is fair,
and prices are fully sustained. ALI
other descriptions of cotton goods are
without noticeable changes. The de-
mand is sluggish and prices barely
maintain. Muslin de lains are not
much asked for at this season. Most
of the summer styles have been closed
out. and but few new goods are put up
on the market.
Wollens are generally dull. Fancy
casslmeres and doeskins are in better
demand, and prices are consequently
shade better than they have been.
Kentucky jeans are very dull, no i'm
provement being manifested in the de-
mand for them. The importation OF
European goods has very sensibly di-
minished during the past fortnight, but
the market is very abundantly suppl
ed with fabrics of every kind adapte
to the season with the exception of the
| few desirable styles of dress goods
lawns and silks, which are adapted to
the city trade. The auction rooms are
very well supplied with fabrics of every
| grade, and sales are effected at prices
which though they may not be alto
gether satisfactory to the importers,
| do not leave them much cause for COM
plaining.-N, 7. Independent.

THE PRINTERS AND THE NEGRO.

The question ofadmitting negro COM
positors into the printers unions was
raised during the session of the Nation
al Typographical Union in Memphis in
1867. and after heated discussion the
National Union decided that the ques-
ton of the admission OF colored men,
ters was purely local matter, and as
such should be lett to the local unions.
The question will now come before the
National Union in new form in the
case of Douglass, the colered compost
tor at the5goveInment printing Office.
If it is presented there without regard
to sthe color question, simply on the
ground that he is under the ban of re-
lection by the Denver Union, the Ma
tional Union may escape acting upon it
as involving a change in its constitution,
which requires years notice. But if
1t comes up there squarely on the ques-
ton OF admitting colored compositors,
there will be warm work, as from the
tone of the communications received
from Northern Unions by union men
here, urging resistance to the admis-
sion of Douglass, it is evidenr that the
prejudice against colored compositors
is not'contined toany particular quarter
or geographical line, -IFash. Star,

REPLY TO SENATOR SUMNER,

At ithaca, New York, on the 10th
inst, Professor Goodwin Smith, to
whom Senator Sumner alluded in his
recent speech on the Reverdy johnson
treaty, delivered reply to that speech
before members Of the Cornell Univer-
sity and a crowded assembly of cigi-
zens, among whom were several dis
tinguished men from different parts Of
the country.
He promised that he spoke both as an
Englishman, still loyal to his country
and also as one hoping to make his
home for many years in America. lie
briefly reviewed the relations between
the u. S. and England during the late
war. He denied that England in any
way had acted in bad faith, and assert
ed that the Palmerston government
like the Gladstone government, was
only anxious to do justice 20 this coun-
try.
England was willing to let Canada
90 when it pleased. Everybody in
Great Britain would consider the loss
of the West India Islands gain, and il
it could be proved that Ireland would
be happier dsunited from England, he
would vote for her Independence; but
no Englishman would ever consent to
relinqilsh any OF these countries as al
equivalent for such claims as those sci
M by Mr.. Sumner. Senator Sumner
has not treated England justly. He
omitted to state that England rejected
the offer of France to join in the politi.
cal recognition Of the confederacy.--,
This was secretly done to effect the es-
cape of the Alabama. NJ. Sumner
throughout was influenced by his ha-
tired of slavery, and lugged into every
political sphere his rancor against that
dead institution. His taunts against
England have struck strong blow al
the very men, like John Bright and
others, who have always opposed slav-
cry and been the warmest friends of the
Union. They would feel its effect
while the tory party, the enemy OF A
merica, would be encouraged. lie
closed with warm appeal for justice
and peace, amid earnest applause.
