New York Dry Goods Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The market
for cotton goods has been little more ami
mated to-day, while woolens generally re-
main very Inactive. Standard sheetings
continue to move slowly at full rates, and
more enqiry is noticed for medium grades
which have been in fair request, and some
marks have been sold up tor the day.
Shirtings are in moderate request at cur
rent quotations. Bleached goods stale with
out any special feature, aud holders are of
fering lots at concession. Cotton drills
are without much enquiry, excepting for
home demand at former rates. Cotton
goods continue to do better and prices are
firm. Wooden fannels are still in fair de-
mand, and the late usual activity is noticed
for dry cloths, and cantings are inactive and
fancy cassimeres are without much life.
Prints are strong and far transactions are re-
ported for the day; IL is no1the market

THE PATRONAGE QUESTION.
The Documents Produced - General
Pleasanten Regrets the Presidents
Denial.

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator Carl
Schurz, in a letter to the Tribune,
says that the letter quoted in his st,
Louis speech concerning patronage in
connection with the San Domingo busi-
ness, was addressed to him by General
Alfred PleasantOn, late Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. 1t was written,
says Schurz, in reply to a note from me,
the contents of which have a memo
randum, which reads as follows: "Ask
Pleasanton whether he remembers a
conversation he had with me concerning
San Domingo, in which he said if /
would support the President, I could
have all the patronage l wanted, ETC.,
and ask him whether he was author
lied by the President to do So"
General Pleasantorl's letter in reply is
enclosed in my speech. have since
received from General PleasantOn the
following note:
NEW YORK, July ., 1872.
DEAR GENERAL--Ofc course I have no
objection to your giving my name TO
the public ia explanation of the facts. I
would say that, being a friend of the
President as well as of yourself, desired
that you should be On good terms, and
that you should understand that there
was no personal feeling in the way of
relations mutually satisfactory. Your
statement is correct that the President
wanted your support for his San
Domingo scheme, and that you could
have had the patronage Of the govern
ment for givingit. That was the distinct
impression the Presidents conversation
made upon my mind, and I communi-
Gated 10 you at the time. If the Presi-
dent positively denies having had any
such conversation, regret it. L may
console myself with the reflection that
this is the first time that any statement
Of mine has been questioned, while the
President has had occasion before to
distrust the accuracy of his recollection.
Truly yours, A. PLEASANTON.

CINCINNATI, July 26.-Over five thou
sand people attended the trotting races
at the Exposition grounds this evening.

were made, and those were all on time.
The race was between Goldsmith Maid

and was won By Goldsmith Maid. Three
straight heats were sun. Time 2:l9,
2:l73 and 2:21. in the first two heats
Lucy was not above half q second be-
hind the Maid The rack was little
heavy, and had it been in frst-rate con-
dition the time might have been a Sc
cond and 8 half faster. The second
were mile heats, best three in five, and
was woRby Jay Gould over Tom Young.
There We're three straight heats. Time
2:2S, 2:30 and 244. Young lost the adj
vantage by breaking ON the home

The Herald has another letter from
DR.. Livingstone, received by cable from
London, and addressed to Mr.. Bennett.
The following is an extract: In trying
to make the Eastern African slave trade
better known TO this Americans, ! in
dulge in the hope that / am aiding on,
though in a small degree, 10 the good
time coming yet, when slavery, as well
as piracy, will be chased from the
world. Many have but FAINT idea of
the evils thatthe tFslding in slaves in-
fiicts ON the victims and the authors of
its atrocities. The slaves generally, and
especially those on the west coast, at
Zanzibar, and elsewhere, are extremely
ugly. ] have no prejudice against their
color, indeed, any one who lives among
them forgets that they are black, and
feels that they are just fellow-men, but
low, retreating foreheads, prognothous
Jaws, iank heels and other physical PEE
cuiiarities common among slaves and
West African negroes always awaken
some feelings of aversion. l would not
utter a syllable calculated to press down
either class more deeply in the mire in
which it is already sunk; but l wish to
show that these are not typical Africans,
any more than typical Englishmen,
and that the nations on nearly all the
high lands of the interior Of the conti-
nent are, as a rule, an average specimen
of humanity. I happened to be present
when all the head men of the great Chief
Insama, who lives west of the south
end of Tangyanyika had come to make
peace with certain Arabs who had
burned their chief town, and l am GER
tain one could not see more
finely formed, intellectual heads in any
assembly in London or Paris, and
faces and forms correspond finely with
the shaped heads. Insama himself had
been a sort of Napoleon, for fighting and
conquering, in his younger days. Many
of the women are very pretty, and, like
all ladies, weuld have been much prettier
if they had only let themselves alone.
Fortunately the dears could not change
charming black eyes, beautiful fore
heads, nicely rounded limbs, well-shaped
forms and small hands and feet, but
they must adorn themselves, and
this they do, "oh, the hussies," by
filing their splendid teeth to points, like
cats teeth; they are not black, but of
light warm brown color. The Cazembes
Queen, Moarianyombe by name, would
be esteemed a real beauty, either in
London, Paris or New York, and yet
she had a small hole through the cartil-
age, near the tip of her fine, slightly
aqualine nose.
