Remarks-1here continues to be quiet feeling in
the Wool market and very little dispu si,ion 10 buy
or sell. Stocks in the hands OF manufacturers are
UNDERSTOOD to be quite reduced, and more active
trade is soon looked for. Purchases can now be
maae on favorable terms, and it would psrbaps be
wen ior manufacturers 10 purchase now than to
come into the mar ct just before The advent Of the
clip. Supplies from the interior rather exceeds ex-
fectaion but as few weeks OF active trade would
clear the leading markets of desirable lots
ID New York the market is Quiet, and the uros-
regarded as favorable. = -
in Philadelphia the market IS dull, bnt prices have
undergone no change. The mqairy has been con-
lined chiefly TO the finer grades, the stock OF which
mas now become reduced to a very low figure The
trade has been dampened BY the failure of New
YORK mousse and the suspension of one or two small
eastern manufacturers.

GEN. CHARLES P. MATTocKs, just appoint
ed States Attorney for Cumberland County,
is chiefly known from his extremely creditable
military career and from his position as COM
mander of the Portland Light Infantry, one of
the very best drilled military organizations in
the country. He is yet young man, but il
men live in deeds not years, as the poet de-
clares, any one may become satisfied by Pc
rusal of his biography in the Adjutant- Gener-
ais report that he is at least not young in ex-
perience. His participation the principal bat
ties of the rebellion, from July 1862 to the close
of the war, and his personal bravery and eff
ficiency, secured his promotion from first
lieutenantcy to brevet brigadiefsgeneralship
He suffered Imprisonment at Lynchburg, Ma
con, Charleston and Columbia. Escaping
from the latter place, he was recaptured after
experiencing cold, hunger, fatigue and peril
sufficient to fill the pages of romance with
thrilling incidents. We have no doubt that
Gen. Mattocks will fill the position to which
he has been appointed with credit to himself
and to the satisfaction of the people of the
county. --.-.r-.r Eel. v-' ...

BURGLAR ARREsTED.-Yesterday morning
Deputy Sterling and officer Barbour visit
ed the establishment of Dunsier on Washington
street and arrested his son, about 10 years OF
age, for being concerned with Bragdon in the
Saccarappa burglary. Dupsier's statement is,
that on Thursday last he went over to Saccar-
appa with Bragdon, spent the evening in his
company. both partakiLg somewhat freely Of
whiskey till late hour, when Bragdon pro-
posed to enter the house of Mrs. Wilson. Ac-
cordingly they went in company to the house
and Bragdon broke in the window and crawled
in side, Dunsier following after much solicita-
ton. Alter this robbery was completed, Brag-
don proposed they should enter a store, but
Dunsier thought they had done enough for one
night and refused. He says he helped hide
the goods under barn and that he wore sew
eral of the coats home. On the way into the
city he says Bragdon pointed out to him sever
al stores which he sold he had entered. Since
the latter's arrest, Dunsier has been skulking in
the outskirts of the city, attempting to elude the
vigilance of the police. Tuesday night he says
he slept in barn near the Marine Hospital, but
there are suspicious that he entered store in
this city and supplied himself with provisions.
This whole Dunsier family is VIGOROUSLY infa-
nous, and if this boy can be taken away from
his parents, even if he goes to State Prison, it
will be advantageous for him.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1870-06-23

The tender regard of the Senate Finance
Committee for the interests of the wealthy
merchants, the grasping corporations, and the
fortunate heirs of rich estates who pay
special taxes and stamp duties, is to
be displayed, it seems, at the expense
of the poorer class of salaried men who
pay the Income Tax. Mr.. Sherman, who Is no
raw recruit at parliamentary tactics, took care
in submitting the Senate substitute for the
House Tax and Tariff bill to secure the repeal
of the stamp duties and special taxes before
submitting the clause renewing the Income
Tax, in order that he might advance the
argument that if the Income Tax was not
renewed, the Others would have to be restored.
Even this forced argument is not plausible
one. As far as the revenue is concerned we
can afford to see stamp duties and special
taxes repealed, and Income Tax discontinued
But it is absurd to take the tax off the pros
porous traders that it may be enforced upon
the poorer taxpayers. The manifest injustice
of renewing the Income Tax is only heightened
by this action of the Senate, and, we trust,
will disgust the House as it will the public,
and lead to the disagreement of the two bodies
a result from which we may hope better things
than from their agreement on this question.

does not lie in prescribing the men
who work for cheap wages-in efforts to dow
I'D their factOres-in threats against the lives
of their employers All these are the devices
of barbarOus era, when people supposed
there was necessary conflict between
Capital and Labor. They are as Idie
as were the combinations against street
sweeping machines, against the introduc-
ton of Arkwright's spinning jennles' or the
Jacquard loom. Men have the right to work
for as low wages as they choose employers
have the right to hire them; and we shall
only involve ourselves in endless trouble by
DENYING either Supply and demand VIII
fix the price of labor, az do they the
price of the products of labor. But wheh
iaborers become their own employers the case
is bravely altered Let the Crispins, thrown
out of employment by the Coolies, make shoes
on their own account; and, our word for
it, they will neither strike against their
employers nor quarrel about the rate OF
wages. Half the money spent in sup
porting even the briefest strike would
establish a successful shoe mandatory owned
and controlled by the shoemakers. That done
the present danger seems averted. Cooperation
is the key to the solution of the North Adams
nrOblpm.
