THE DRY GOODS VAR.
The Origin of the Feud Between the
Giants of the Calico Trade.
From the Sumter Watchman.l
Tie New York Times says:

1Ne new / 1OTk 1lulcS shyo.
The houses OF A. T. Stewart t. Co., and II.
B. Clatlln & Co., are engaged in an interne-
cine warfare. Stewart, we are told, is making
a terrific raid on unbleached muslns and Mer-
rimac prints The story goes that during the
earlier part OF the late war Stewart got badly
frightened about muslins, and put all his stock
upon the market, selling them for what they
would fetch. Clatlin pretended to do the
same, but in reality bought back all his own
goods and bought up all Stewards. The result
was that he got monopoly OF the article, and
when it rose, as it did almost Immediately,
Stewart had 10 buy from Clalin ut pretty
much what the latter chose to ask. Stewart
has never forgiven Cla1in for this, but has
been outstanding his forces and waiting
patiently for an opportunityto to strike crush
ing blow in return. This he apparently thinks
he has found and is accordingly pushing his
columns of muslin and Merrmac forward to
the attack. AS u central attack he massed his
Merrimacs at ten cents yard, when they
were sold By the manufacturers at twelve, ana
hurled them upon the market. The result is
said 10 have been that the Merrimac men
struck his name from their books and refused
to sell him any more goods. Stewart Is re-
ported to have Immediately procured supply
through distinguished Philadelphia firm.
Thro,irh their abundant caution, however, the
Merrimac people had put private marx on
the goods sold by them to this firm. Their
emissaries bought some, of the goods from
quarters. and the Philadelphia firm has also
been struck from the Merrimac peoples
books. Mr.. Clafin is reported 10 be fully alive
to the situation. The practical result OF the
war is q terrible fiutter among the dry goous
people, and general assertion That II Mr.
Stewart continues his raid he will ruin pretty
much every importer and jobber in the city.

Trial of Prince Napoleon.

Tours, March "a.
The testimony that Fouvlle said Noir had
slapped Prince Napoleon's face Is contradic-
tory. A witness heard Fouvillc eIclaim that
if his pistol had not have missed fire he would
have shot the Prince.
Rochefor. was called and two gendarmes
conducted him. He was pale, but calm. After
the evidence, he took a seat among the jour
nalists, many Of whom shook hands with him.
Noir's brothers and wife testified that Noir
could not have slapped the Prince, as his
gloves we're intact.
During the lntermlssion Noir's friends gath
ered' about him, but the police kept them
apart.

Letter from the Emperor Napoleon to
Primo Minister Olivier.
PARIS, March %.
The Journal OIiciel of to-day contains let
ter from the Emperor to Prime Minister Olli-
vier. He says it would be expedient, in the
present condition of affairs, to adopt all re-
forms which will restore constitutional gov
ernment to France, in or'ler to put az end to
that lmmoderate desire for change which pos
sesscd certain spirits who disturb the public
mind by their belief in the instabilltxnf the
present regime. Among the reforms when
he has instituted, thu Emperor places in the
first rank those which touch the constitution
and the prerogative Of the Senate. He urges
N. Olivier to concert with his colleagues for
submission 10 him (the Emperor) "of 4 pro-
iect for the Senatus Consultum," which will
Ak invariably the fundamental provisions dds
positions .f4ndamentales) growing out Of the
ple... ..um of 1852, divide the legislative
power between the two chambers, and restore
to the nation part of the representative
power which had heretofore been delegated.

10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
In reference to the many Iumora concerning
the mysterious disappearance OF Sheriff Fischer,

which wonId preclude either Of them from

Of nDy kind whatever, and the astounding aactt-
Gees made by him have proyed this fact The
leal cause Of big disappearance, to my personal
knowledge. Ia thls: His personal safety By re.
