The Advance in Wool.

For the past few days the
wool market has shown unusu-
al activity. A number Of
prominent manufacturers have
been laying in thier stocks, and
sales of domestic wool in Bos-
ton have been made to the ex-
tent Of 1,850,00O pounds, this
we believe, exceeds the sales
of any previous week during
the past year. The value of
the wool which has changed
hands is about three quarters
Of a million dollars, exclusive
Of the value of foreign woods,
in which there has also been
something doing. The market
closed firm at an advance over
the rates current last week.
The demand for woolen goods
has set in earlier this year than
usual, probably in consequence
of the apprehension that the
long continued scarcity of water
will diminish the production
and cause an increase in price
as the2 season advances, and
manufacturers who have e,,orders
ahead at fixed price are nat.
urally desirous of getting in
their stocks of raw material at
such prices as will enable them
to manufacture at a profit.

Attorney General.

For the very important Of
flee Of Attorney General we
believe that no better selection
could be made by the Demo-
cratic State Convention, on the
LIST Of June, than that Of. the
Hon. JOHN MCSwEENEY, of
Wayne County. He is one of
the leading lawyers Of that
county; and, as a stump speak,
er, Che is among the ablest. -
The honest sons of ireland in
Vinton and surrounding coun-
ties would feel proud if the
name Of one Of their country
men should be placed upon the
State ticket. Our readers will
remember the portion Of the
very able speech, delivered by
Mr.. McSweeney at the Sth Of
January Celebration, at. Woos-
ter, Ohio, which appeared in
our columns q few weeks ago.

for the journals Of the party to
trot out as many bands of Ku'
Klux as possible, and keep up
a constant recurrence OF out
rage upon "trooly loil" whites
and inoffensive freedmen.
Previous to the appointment
of the Commission, the news
papers were almost bare of the
sort of reports in question:
1t seemed as though the out
rage business had been wound
up for good, and there appear
ed to be some ground for the
hope that no more would be
heard on that head. But the
hope was not to be realized.--
If any one thought that the
Radical factories for the pro-
duction of canards about terri
bic prosecutions and frightful
crimes iu "the States lately in
Rebellion" had been closed up
that person was mistaken.-
The work was only temporori-
ly suspended. All The facto-
ries are in operation again, and
the fabrics turned out are Of
exactly the same pattern as
those presented for public ac-
ceptance when the Radical
party was last in need Of Fede-
raj bayonets to make the peo,
Of the South vote the right
way Crisis.

Imnortant to Soldiers.

Important TO Soldiers.
The bill to extend the bene'
fits of the bounty land system
to soldiers and sailors Of the
late war, their widows and or
plans, provides that all honor,
ably discharged soldiers and
sailors who served in the re.
bellion ninety days, or their
widows and orphan children,
can acquire homesteads on
public lands of the United
States; or if discharged on ac-
count of wounds received or
disabilities incurred in the line
of duty, their term of enlist
ment shall be deducted from
the time heretofore required
for a perfect title. In case Of
the death Of any person who
would be entitled to a home.
stead under the provisions of
the first section Of this act, his
widow, if unmarried, or in case
of her death, or marriage, then
his minor children shall be en-
titled to all the benefits emu
merated in the act; provided,
such person died during the
term of his enlistment, the
whole term of enlistment shall
be deducted from the time
heretofore required to perfect
the title. Every private sol
der and every seaman, marine,
and officer who served ninety
days and are now now inscrib-
ed on the pension rolls are en-
titled to the benefit Of this
act.
This bill will, we doubt not,
pass and become a law.

Some of the territories of
the far West are Democratic.
AS a punishment for such polit.
ical contumacy, the House Of
Representatives on Saturday
last passed a bill giving to the
Judges of the United States
Courts and the Governors Of
the Territories the power to
make the legislative apportion
ment. These officials are ap-
pointed by the President, and
the design is to give the cen
trail power at Washington a
controlling influence in the 10.

German Unity---AmeriCan
Imperialism.

ImpcriailSln'
Gen. Grant, in q recent ut
terance recognizing the new
German Empire under King
Wilhelm, proclaimed that the
confederation was the nearest
approach to the American
form Of government, which, he
says, it greatly resembles
Nobody had the news but
Grant. In this expression the
wish was father to the thought.
He would like to be Emperor
of the United States, with an
entailment Of a crown and
sceptre in his family and a her.
editnry throne to transmit to
his progeny and multitudinous
brothers-in.law. This is what
the Washington usurpers are
after, and constitutes the only
resemblance between the Uni
ted German Empire and the
late constitutional Republic of
the United States. The Abo-
lition party is intent upon
traitorously converting this
Government-without formal
change in its written Constitu-
tion--from the Democratic
Federal republic originally de-
signed, into an arbitrary, vul-
gar oligarchy, chaotic in its
composition, essentially dcspot-
ic in spirit and Republican
only in name. NoiseleSsly, wi
lily, warily, as the spider
weaves its web, do the leading
minds of the party, in secret
conventicles, prepare their ne
farious'schemes and brood their
treason. Let a betrayed and
indignant people arouse itself
betimes and "expel the mis-
Chief" or it will awaken soon,
but too late, to find the repub'
lie of Washington helplessly
enveloped in the tolls Of Radi-
calism, and our liberties hope
lessly lost. Every week affords
fresh proof Of their treacherous
purpose, in the shape Of unwar-
ranted encroachments upon
the rights Of the States and
violations of that fundamental
principle Of our political insti-
tutions, popular soveaeignty.-

The Ku-KIux Commission.

The Ku-Klux Commission.
It is curious that the mo,
ment the Washington Ku-
Klux Commission is ready to
begin operations, Jacobin news
papers resume the publication
of outrage reports from the
South. Of course the resump-
ton Of the outrage business is
understood. The Commission
was appointed for a distinct
and palpable political purpose.
1t is desired and expected to
make a report that will give
color of justification to the en-
ployment Of troops throughout
the South before and at the
next election, and it is the pol
icy of the party which it rep,
resents to prepare the way for
q report Of this kind. The
most el'ectual way to do this is

A State Ticket.

AS it is only three months
until the Democratic State
Convention meets to place q
ticket in nomination, it is now
an appropriate time to bring
forth the names Of the most
popular men in our great State
who should head the ticket
Let the ticket to be supported
at the next election have a
solid and round head. For
Governor, we are in favor of
Hon, GEO. II. PENDLEToN,
and for Lieutenant Governor
no better selection could be
made than placing the name of
Hon. THOMAS EWING, Jr., be-
meath the name Of PENDLEToN.
With the names Of two noble
patriots at the head of the
ticket, we are sure Of a great
victory-the election Of the en-
tire State ticket and a majority
in both branches of the Legis,
Iature. Put down Vinton
County for PENDLETON
aud EWING!

Pleasures Of Arithmetic.

Pleasures Of Arithmetic.
AS it is extremely probable
that the Government, or rather
the taxpayers will have to
foot the entire bill, a bankers
clerk, accustomed to svch work,
has furnished q calculation Of
what the compound interest
and principal Of the Pacific
railroad subsidy bonds would
amount to in thirty years, the
time the bonds have to run.-
The principal being all bonds
issued to the Pacific railroads,
is $64, ,618,832 80, but the cal
culatton is based on a principal
in round numbers, Of $64, 800.
600. In twelve years the in,
terest and principal would
amount to $129,78G, ,684--more
than double the original a
mount. In twenty years it
would amount to s206,S88,864;
in twenty-five years to S976,-
863, 966; in thirty years the to-
tai, principal and interest,
would be $37O,476 129, being
64,500,0 900 original, principal,
and $305,976, ,l29 interest,"
In twenty years after that; the
interest and principal would
amount to more than our pres
ent national debt. AS to the
Pacific railroad people who say
they cannot pay their interest,
and did not expect to pay it
till the bonds mature, except
that portion paid In one half
the Governments transportation
account, it is evident that the
Government is stuck"
STILL what does that matter?

Nothing more happily Illus
trates the sympathy felt for the
people of France in this coun-
try, than the prompt and ac-
tive measures that have been
taken to send relief to the suf.
ferers from the war. Already
three steamships have been
chartered to load government
stores for that purpose and sail
direct to French ports. Among
the items of freight for one of
these steamships are 10000
barrels of beef. The New
York Chamber of Commerce
has notified the American Min,
lister that the sum Of $4,000
is at now awaiting his draft
for the purpose Of purchasing
supplies to send to the people
Of France. A ship was laden
at Boston the other day, and is
now on the way to Europe on
it's mission Of mercy.
Thus the work goes on all
over the country. While the
course Of the Emperor NapO-
leon has been universally con-
demned in this country, there
has been all the time the kind
liest sympathy felt and ex.
pressed toward the people of
France in the misfortunes for
which we dc not hold the peo-
pie responsible.
