Editor Republacan:-On the 1st inst.
the great nominating convention of the
unterrifed Of this county, met in the
Court House, and was called to order by
the Chairman of their Central Commit
tee, who proceeded at once to explain the
object of the meeting.
The delegates from the different town
ships were early on the ground, and it soon
became evident from the wire working
already commenced by the ''Moguls," that
no one could receive nomination at the
hands of that Convention, who was not.
in some way, identified with the interests
of the Court House CLIQUE" Before
the balloting commenced, however, the
different candidates were called upon to
pledge themselves to support the nomi-
nees of the convention, which most of
them did, thinking that each man stood
on his own merits and would receive the
strength delegatedt to him by the primary
meetings held in each township the week
before This was not the case in that con-

Senator Sumnerin his bombastic speech,
made with the design TO beat Grant,
charges the President with being quarrel
Some-even trying to pick quarrel with
him. This comes with a poor grace
from man who has never neglected an
opportunity to redicule President Grant,
and hold him up to the world as an ignor-
ant usurper. Mr. Sumner has never been
at peace with his own party, nor even
with his own family-his wife was obliged
to leave him in order to find quiet. Such
man, if elected President, viii have no
brothers-in-law around him.

SUNDAY, August II, 1872.
The week In Wall street, though exhibiting the
continued absence OF the leading spectators, fur
nished the various departments OF speculation
something like a forecast Of the coming fall excite
ment. The main features were a slight movement
in some specaltes on the Stock Exchange, q dis
turbed condition Of the money market and con-
siderable speculative movement In foreign ex-
change. Gold, too, supplied some features OF
interest," but not differing very much nom those
with which the street is so familiar.
DECLINE IN STOCKS.
In the stock market q general selling movement
developed ITSELF particularly towards the close OF
the week, when a sharp decline occurred in most
stock values. This was not confined to the mere
speculative shares, but extended as well to sound,
dividend paying securities. A great deal OF long
stock was thrown upon the market, and the pres
sure to dispose Of 1t was steady up to the
close Of the week, when the lowest figures were
reached. Western Union showed the greatest de-
cline during the week, and yesterday was freely
offered, going on to 7OH. Lake Shore declined
from e1% to sS%, st. Paul common from 56h to
53H, Union Pacific from 36ss to a. Pacific Mail from

AMERICAN TRADE WITH PARIS.
Thirty Million Dollars q Year for French
Flnery.


PARIS, July Is, 1872.
am Indebted to the courtesy OF the United
States Consul General, Mr.. J. Meredith Read, for
series OF tables showing the exports Of goods
shipped from Paris to the United States. The
values in these tables are stated in francs, and
have converted them into United States currency
at the rate of five francs to the dollar. The total
exports for eight years. it will be seen, foot up an
aggregate Of s219 49o,694. or say an average OF
s27, 1897 for each year. Notwithstanding the
fact that the city of Paris was practically deferred
from all business with the outer world during the
period OF the siege and Commune, there Is but
slight falling OF compared with the average value
of former years. In fact, but for the interruption,
there would have been q steady increase In nearly
every branch. During the first quarter OF the
present year the value Of exports has been on
larger scale than any previous PERIOD Owing to
the loss of the Alsatian districts there Is marked
falling of in the value Of cotton goods, as well as in
furnishing goods.
