ANNNhi H1oASh "
The great feature of Wall street this
afternoon was the excitement conse-
auent upon the announcement of the
Cabinet appointment of Mr.. Stewart.
It occasioned a fall of one per cent.
in gold and buoyancy and higher rates
in the Government bond market His
we'll known views in favor of contrac-
tion and resumption of specie payment
and mercantile reputation were the
occasion. There is, however, a general
opinion that he cannot retain the office
consistently with his private interests
The Cabinet is otherwise received with
surprise.
A certified copy of the bill abolishing
quarterly bank statements shows that
the Comptroller is to call for statements
of banks on some day in the past, which
is expected to alleviate the periodical
stringency of the money market.

The silk factories of Patterson, New
Jersey, are running on full time, and two
new ones are to be started.
1t has become customary with many
New York grocers to sell bread by
weight, at five cents pound.
There have been nearly three hun.
dred and sixty-five ways proposed to
return to specie payment.
Secretary McCulloch, upon his retire
ment, it is said, intends to try his hand
at financiering on Wall street.
A Washington correspondent notes
very forcibly the influence of the press,
in defeating combinations to force rail
road measures through Congress. When
the session began three hundred mil
lion dollars would not cover the Gov
eminent aid asked for railroad projects
alone. 1t is doubtful whether four hun
dred millions would have carried out
the provisions of pending bills. Not
one of them has passed.
There are in Oregon twenty one
quartz mills, supplied with one hundred
and forty stamps and large number OF

been about $4,000. The extent of wa

one-halt of the quartz mills are driven
by water, being larger proportion
than IN California or any other portion
of the Pacific coast.
The city of Philadelphia contains

a;.orss;no the subject exhibits these

discussing the subject exhibits these
hardships. Maine builds about two
thirds of the deep-water vessels in the
United States, and will this year build
100000 tons. The tariff aad tax upon
the materials used in shipbuilding there
are equal to 50 or SO per ton. This tax
upon 1000 tons of shipping will be a
greater burden than the whole State
tax for State purposes. Shipbuilders
of Maine cannot compete with those of
the British provinces. The committee
of the Maine Legislature were unani-
nous in the opinion that measures
should be taken for the relief of the
shipping, and the first appeal they make
is answered by the copper tax bill,
which will add largely to the expense
of every vessel built in the United
States. The shipbuilding of Baltimore,
it is believed, will be seriously depress-
ed by this new copper tax law just
passed by Congress over the Presidents
veto.

messenger arrived with the names of
the Cabinet appointments, and there
was a general demand that the names

so much excited that it was impossible
to resume business for some time.

ten minutes so the mourners might have
an opportunity to commiserate each
other. Laughter

performed that duty, and the President
! had informed the committee that he
had, about two hours previously, an
ticipating that the Senate would be in
session, sent some nominations to that
body, but he had no message TO send &c
Congress.
Mr.. Farnsworth moved that Messrs.
Cliff, Tiff, Edwards, Cove, Prime

Elections with instructions to inquire
whether or not Georgia was entitled to
representation at all.
| After much debate the resolution was
modified and adopted, referring the
Iouestion to the committee on Elections.

Well Attested Cure Of Catarrh

DIR. A. p. LIGHTHILL-DEAR SR:-Your
treatment in the cure of my Catarrh has had
the desired effect, and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurablo, and had exhaust
ed all other modes Of treatment, without the
least benefit. Ny case was so chronic and
troublesome, that by giving few Of the symp.
toms the value of your treatment can be more
readily estimated. For years had been affiict.

my breathing 50 as to necessitate me to keep my
mouth open duris sleep; latterly, the discharges
became solidifed and impacted in my nose 70
such an extent that it required the greatest e1'
ertion to expel them. Sometimes these hard.
ened Jumps would get in my throat, causing me
to hawk and scrape even by the hour to relieve
myself Ny breath was offensive; my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light head
ness made their appearance and Of late symP
toms OF paralysis stepped in, and when places
myself under your care one side Of my face was
sadly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen
eral health suffered alike, there was q constant
tired, drowsy and debilitated feeling, with ne
energy to move or act; felt as tired or rising
in the morning as 1 did on going to my bed, my
appetite was capricieus and nay disposition

Trials and suneriuxs of n Party OF
RnciHc Railroad EXcuraiOnista.

ST. LOUIS, March 1.-The Evening
Dispatch publishes long account OF
the trials aud sufferlugs of a large par
ty of gentlemen who recently came over
the Union Pacific Railroad. The &C
count is given by one of the party,
which embraces many prominent gen
tlemen of California and New York and
other Eastern States, and says that they
were detained ten days at Rawlings
Station, and could not induce the rail
road officials TO send train out until
they held an indignation meeting and
telegraphed the railroad committee at
Washington Of the treatment they were
receiving. When they did start, they
were obliged to shovel snow at different
points, and, as they allege, were very
badly fed. At one point they shoveled
through q snow-drift a thousand feet
long, and when they had the track
clear, the engineer had only steam
enough to carry them into the deepest
of the drift, in consequence of too much
whisky drank by the officers of the
train, and they were stuck again.
After remaining two days in this con-
dition, about fifty of them started on
foot for Laramie, ninety miles distant,
reaching there in four days, after much
suffering. From Laramie they came
through to Omaha without detention
The complain bitterly of the treatment
received at the hands of the railroad
officials, who they charge with repeat
eddy making misstatementS to them
and who would entertain no proposition
to refund the extra expenses incurred
by the passengers. They also say that
exorbitant prices were charged them
for provisions, in some instances dol,

hundred persons on beard the train
when it was left in the snow.

Opinion. of the new York Press.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The World
SAYS: The inaugural shows too much
confidence and elfsufficiency, and lacks
that grave and sustained propriety of
expression BETTING the Chief Magis-
trate. 1t has no original ideas, and every
thing in the message which is not hit
is crude, and it is \ mere echo OF the
trite commonplace of the Republican
press.
The Tribune says: The emphatic dec
laration of President Grant that we
should pay our national debt to the ut
termost fartAing, is worth countless
millions to the labor, commerce and
prosperity of the republic. 1t says that
Grant will be the champion of the Mon
roe doctrine, and direct his policy to-
ward consolidating and extending
Republican institutions upon the Amer
lean continent. 1t hopes to receive
from President Grant splendid admin
istration.
The Times says: The inaugural
touches great wants, indicates great
duties aud propounds great policy,
with distinctness that leaves nothing
in doubt, and the force of true-born
earnestuess. General Grant had some
thing to say and he has said it strongly
aud we'll. No one doubts that General
Grant will aim to meet the just wishes
and expectations of the Republican
party; not by conceding to the demands
of its individual members, but by pro-
noting the welfare of the country and
building up its prosperity on the prin-
cipleS of the party as the only princi-
pies on which it can rest safely and
permanently.
The Sun says: The inaugural is a
plain, straightforward and succinct
declaration of the views which will
govern the National Executive during
the next four years, and expresses the
conviction of its author in a manner Ia
which the popular heart will every
where warmly appreciate. y
The Herald says, after rehearsing the
points of Grants inaugural: Here, then,
including economy, retrenchment and a
faithful collection of the public reve-
nue., we have the sailing direction OF
the new administration. What is the
prospect7 1t is one full of promise,
prosperity, progress, development and
powerat home and abroad, and so opens
the new book of American history.

Execution.

PRINCESS ANNE. March 5.-Four ne
groes, William Wilson, Frank Rounds,
William Wells and George Bailey, were
hanged here to-day for the murder OF
B. +. Johnson and Henry Cannon, cap
tain and mate of an oyster sloop, in
March, 1868. Each of the prisoners
confessed their guilt. Rounds and
Wells died instantly, Bailey in a few
seconds. Wilson's neck did not break;
he groaned and suffered horribly; he
got the rope off his hands aud legs and
caught hold of the shroud of Rounds
and then of his own rope, by which he
drew himself up on the scaffold again.
The jailor assembled and frightened the
moose and again pushed the wretched
man off, jerking the rope violently as
no fell. The prisoner continued to
struggle for five minutes, some of the
crowd yelling CHATS right, you ought
to suffer-" The execution occupied forty
five minutes. Towards the last four or
five thousand spectators were present.
