THURSDAY, Dec. Sc Pm.
There was rather more activity In the CONNER.
cial marts to-day, and in certain commodities there
was considerable activity. At the Produce Ex-
change the principal feature was the upward move.
ment in two or three articles, which sold with in.
creased freedom at the enhancement Flour re.
NAMED quiet and steady. Wheat was In rather
better demand, and, being offered very SPAR
ingly, brought an advance OF fully &c. per
bushel the market closing buoyant, holders
generally refusing to sell prime even at the i'm
provement The demand was principally for ex.
port. Corn was dull, but sales to some extent were
made for shipment at the inside price quoted be-
low. Oats were in more demand and prices favored
the seller. Whiskey was in more demand and
higher the market closing firm at the outside price
quoted. The deadlock in the pork market remained
unbroken, and there was difference OF about 81
per barrel between the views OF buyers and sellers
OF round lots, current quotations being regarded as
wholly nominal. Lard continued dull and heavy.
The movement in freghts was retarded by the
scarcity OF tonnage, but rates were nominally un.
changed. both for freight and charters. Cotton
continued in good demand at full figures for spot lots
but slightly easier for future Petroleum remained
nominal. Naval stores were more sought after. but at
easier prices Groceries continued quiet, but without
material change In values.
CorrKE.-The inquiry for Rio continued moderately
fair, but the scarcity OF desirable kinds tended
check transactions. We only note sales OF 1000 bags

tcndent Hitler.
The crowd at the Office OF Pension Agent Silas
B. butcher fully as great yesterday as the day
previous, and while all the attaches worked with
all their might, at nlghtall hundreds remained yet
unpaid. Up to noon the assembled multitude
were not suffering much from the inclemency OF
the weather: but when the snow began to fall the
quarters occupied by the pensioners in the court
yard became exceedingly uncomfortable. Mr..
George Hitler the superintendent OF the Custom
House, with c0mmendabe humanity, had a number
Of benches transferred to the subterranean
passages of the basement contiguous to the
Pension ONCE and rooms adjoining opened to ac-
cOmm0date and shelter from exposure the waiting
multitude.
There was not as much money paid out yester-
day as on the previous day; but the individual
checks, as general thing, were larger, more PEN
sioners appearing who claimed the additional
amount granted by Congress by virtue OF the law
Of June 8, 1872. The orphan daughters OF deceased
soldiers now employed at the Pension once will
be retained by Mr.. butcher, as Also all the clerks
formerly under Colonel DOty. Mr.. w. II. Whitlock

DIsGRACEFUL JoURSALHM The Sunday
morning Union attempts to give an accoun
o. the Liberal meeting 10 Moline. TIL
article shows ooDolusively that tie Union
had no reporter present, and its attempts to
impose a half column Of gross miSre presen-
tA,ion upon the intelligent citizens of Moline
ought to arouse the indignation of the peo-
pie. Besides gross misrepresentation, the ar,
iicle contains several outrageous fAIsehoods.
The Union speaks Of j. d. Campbell, Esq,
of Davenport, as follows.
He Is one Of those old Democrats of whom
Greeley has always taken the smell Of their
breath as index TO their political sentiments In
his support Of Greeley he went upon the theory
that "GFesley has always cussed u.s. and we've
always cussod him-so we're about square," He
hated dFant OF eourse-cAlled him all the bet
names OF the Democratic voeAbulAry-and after
saving the air awhile with his arms settled do un
on his hams TO give Major Allan, Of Gensseo, q
chance to repeat to the Aoiinsrs what had q
week previous sieksned the Rock Islanders.
Mr.. Campbell iS one of the most respected
and respectable lawyers of Davenport, and
never was Democrat in his lifs-was al
ways Republican, and so stated in his
speech. Maj. Allan, of Genesso," was no t
there At all. These two facts stamp the
Union as a reckless fAlsifsr and show that
Is grossly incorrect and wickedly false.
NO correction is e1pectsd-ths Union neve
does hiatt believes "a lie well stuck to i
a. good As the truth"

HOW ARE THE CABLES 2

A gsntlemsn from one OF the townships
in our county came into our Office Saturday,
to inquire if Messrs. z. L. Cable, or r. R.
Gable had come out for Grant. He was an
old friend and Democrat, and We looked
at him sometime to see if we could discover
any signs Of softening of the brain. de
seemed in possession of his senses, and then
We asked him why he came on so absurd an
errand. He replied that, in conversation
with some Grant men, the other day, be was
naming long list of the greAtleaders OF the
RspublicAn party who refused to support
Grant and we're for Greeley, and showing
them that they had no reasonable hope OF
rejecting Grant when his former supporters
10 such great numbers, and of so respectable
talents and character, were for Greeley.
One Of them replied that be had just been TO
Rock Island, and while there he was told
that "botb the Cables had come out for
Grant Our friend didn't believe it bat
thought he would jusI drop in and see how
others, that both the Gables are very anxious
for the election of Mr.. Greeley aud all the
candidates on the Liberal ticket, and will
use ell honorable efforts to that end. Neither
Of them would have selected Mr.. Greeley as
I their FIRST choice. Either would have pre-
/ ferred HoiFman,o or Hendricks, or Groesbeok
o. Pendletop, or any OF our beat Democratic
statesmen. Bot the party judged that it Wal
not safe 10 risk the result on such q uomins
ton, and we're willing to let the Liberia
Republicans take the lead in bringing abou
a change Of administration. The Messrs
Cable defer to this Judgement of shei
friends, preterrng principles to- name
preferring patriotism to party; preferrin
peace TO war; prosperity to adversely; re
cancellation to hate, and for these reason
they prefer Greeley to Grant. That's Wher
the Cables stand, and no one need fear ths
they will aid, in any manner, the election {
the Grant Ring and thus aid in protongiH
, the oWrageS and expressions rhich no
, a6lict the rhole people Of the South. Th
2 men who claimed the Gables for the GrGr
cause showed that they would be glad to lin
e some respectable Democrats aiding the
p rotten dynSsty-bus they "reckOued Ei'ho'
their host" We do not believe any Den
ocrAt who clearly comprehends the momen
Gus issues will ultimately fail to give h
. support to Greeley and the whole LiOer
ticket-uuess he shall be controlled
q some selfish or msrcsnAry consideration.
