Our Northwestern exchanges report
that there is a great stringency in the
money market, and distress among the
spectators in consequence of the low
price of wheat The price was so low
last fall that there was disposition to
hold over until spring. The consequence
is that there is a large accumulation of
stocks at the principal markets and con-

The Associated Press reports inform
us that Beast Butler has been notified by
the war Department that Charles Sumner
Wilson, the colored youth that he recon-
mended to be appointed cadet at West
Point is too young for the position.
We would not be surprised if his color
was in some degree the cause of his re-
lection. But that will not do. Charles
may be rejected, but other negroes who
are old enough will be recommended and
must be appointed. The sooner they are
recommended the better, for the respecta-
bility of the army is in great need of ms
provement. Perhaps an amalgamation
of colors will be of benefit to it. Missis-
sippi's honorable Senator should give
this matter his special attention.

The Richmond War.

| The Chicago Times gives the following
description and causes of the war between
the rival claimants for the position Of
Mayor of Richmond. 1t comes nearer
the facts in a nutshell than any thing we
have seen upon the subject. Gen. Can
by's conduct in this matter has been dis
| graceful in the extreme.
The trouble in Richmond between the
'.rival mayors" illustrates in peculiar
manner the beauties of military govern
ment in supposed-to-be republican state.
Under the military regime in Virginia,
the civil officers were the appointees and
servants of the military power. A per-
son named Cahoon was appointed ''may-
or of Richmond" by General Candy
But the mayor of Richmond is an cleo
| tive office, created by and existing under
the civil law of the State. The State is
reconstructed; the military dominion
over it is supposed to have ceased; the civ
il authorities are again the rightful adj
ministrators of the government. The
military mayor of Richmond being thus
officially dead, the legislature of the State
passed an act authorizing the Governor to
appoint Board of Aldermen pro tenn
The Board was authorized by the same
act to elect a mayor. In virtue of that
act a citizen named Ellison, was elected
to serve until the next municipal election.
The military mayor refuses to sur
render his power; and assumes to be still
the mayor Of Richmond. He is clearly
in rebellion against the civil authoritie,
and civil law of the State. He has a
small army of niger rebels at his back,
and General Candy, upon the pretence of
preserving order, proceeds to assist him
and his niger rebels in their rebellion.
This Is the situation. This is the state of
things that is one of the natural fruits of
military reconstruction in republican
state.
