OUR MARKETS. city markets
were well supplied with meats and vege-
tables, as we'll as fruits this morning. But
high prices still prevail. We see that our
friends in Petersburg complain of search
ty of truck in the markets of that city,
and are calling upon the people south Of
that place to help them out, we feel some
what like making the same request, not fol
the same reason, but with the hope that
sharp competition would materially red uce
prices. Evidently 'live and let live" amt
the motto of our market men. Since they are
under no legarestraints, moral restraints
are little thought of. The consumer is
compelled to buy truck from third OIL
fourth hands, paying more than double
what the producer receives. We do hop,
our new city Council will take up this mar
ket question, and relieve our citizens, (wht
are paying heavy taxes,) from the imposi
TORS to which they are subjected, by thu
passage of a stringent ordinance upon tn
subject of huckstering. t 49,

PUBLIC BATHs.-Publc expenditures
should in large measure be for the benefit
of those who have not private means.
Parks, music, lighthouses, and the like,
should be provided in every city for the
many whom fortune has not sufficiently ia
vored to enjoy these things from their own
purses. Practical philanthropists in many
of the large cities of the Union recommend
the efficacy of public lighthouses in pro-
noting the health and happiness Of the
poorer classes. & Cleanliness is next to
godlness,n and we respectfully call the at
tention of our Board of Health and of the
city authorities to the Importance of public
baths.
The facilities for such an institution are
at hand, and the vast good which would re-
suit from it not all doubtful. In what way
could the city better demonstrate its care
for the industrial classes than by establish
ing free baths; and in what way could
public morals, public health, self-respect,
and decency be more surely promoted.
Here is an enterprise in which a small por-
ton of the one hundred thousand dollars
which it is proposed to expend for the
grading Of Main street, CAN be much better
employed. 1t is an enterprise in which all
are interested, and of no doubtful utility.
1t affects the health and happiness of the
whole people. Let us cease the squander
of public money upon wild and impractical
BILE schemes, and devote some of it to the
pressing public necessities.

+ NORTH CAROLINA exhibits this record
as to its vote since 1868: In 1865
Holden. Republican, in the canvass for
Governor, had majority over Ashe,
Democrat, of S,64l. In 1870 the test
was upon Attorney General, with a little
heavier vote. The Democratic nominee,
Shipp, was elected over Phillips, Republi-
can, by majority of 1895. In 1871 the
the test was for and against calling con-
stitutional convention. The Republicans
taking the negative, voted down the con-
vention by majority of 9,345. The Re-
publicans claim that the party lines were
closely drawn, this is now denied but was
not then. The vote was large. g. ".
The Tribune claims that the white voters
have a majority Of 10000 in the State, and
claims them as almost unanimous for Gree
ley. The Democrats can, it SAYS, and must,
carry the State. According to its showing
the great anti-slayery champion is to sue.
coed over combined colored vote. What
| a position does the renegade choose for
himself. We shall see where the aloya
whites of the North State stand. q. , tsH 81

E EXTRAORDINARY BRIDGE.-The rail
road bridge which is to extend across the
harbor Of San Francisco from the main land
to Goat Island, and to which the citizens
have been SO strongly opposed, is to be
somewhat of an architectural novelty. 1t
is to run through an immense tube of boil
er iron, which supports itself in the water
by its own buoyaney, and is held some
thirty feet below the surface by a compli-
Gated system of cables, anchors and buoys.
The tube is twenty feet in diameter, and is
strengthened by an internal framework OF
iron beams. The principal problem with
the engineer was to have the buoyancy Of
the tube equal the weight of a train of cars,
so as to require the minimum of anchorage
or support. Should the bridge prove q
success, submarine railroad tubes may
become quite common, as they may be USED
where regular tunnels would be impracti
cable, or at least very expensive. ia

POLITICAL NOTES.

Ex-senator Ross, of all persons in the
world, has been indulging in a public adj
dress against the lack of honesty in the Re-
publican party! Who, after him ? s
A year ago or less the New York Tri-
5une was an earnest advocate of the Indian
policy ofthe Administration as against that
of General Crook. Now it cries out against
the former and for the latter.
The gambler Morrisey, who lost $685.
900 on Bassett at Long Branch, lost another
$25 900 in trying to make things even by
betting on Longfellow at Saratoga. Morri-
sey also bets on Horace Greeley. r ~
- "A gentleman of careful inquiry, who
has lust arrived in Washington from Ohio,
states that that State is sure for Grant this
fall, and that some of the counties of that
State can boast, comparatively speaking,
scarcely Greeley voter. d
The establishment of a new and i'm
posing Republican daily at St. Louis does
not look as if Republcanism was dying out
in Missouri. 1t will be found in November
that those who followed the gushing Brown
and ornate Schurz into the wilderness eight
cen months since are finding their way
back. ST.. .EA .'E t&,.A ~ .t'F .,
Henry Ward Beecher, in whose sterl-
ing common sense the people of this country
have an abiding faith, says in the Christian
Union 80 In all truly civilized nations. the
avoidance of personal display, manly sim
plicity, and directness are highly honored.
No American President was ever so abso-
lutely unpretentious, so simple and modest,
in his manners as General Grant. 81
--Gratz Browns speech at New Haven
was mastery effort according to the New
York Tribune. The Cincinnati CONNER
ctal,s notwithstanding its proclivities for
Greeley, does not 'ssee it in that light" 1t
is not surprised that an attack of cholera
morbus followed the effort. 1t says: Ills
estimate of the majorities for Greeley and
Brown in Iowa and Illinois seems to us ex-
cessive. Evidently his Imagination was ex-
cited by the visit to the scenes of his col
lege DAYS. Possibly Grant will not carry
more than three States, but we suspect he
would carry at least six, if Mr.. Brown be
persuaded to become eloquent in all parts
of the country gEi.1 .g1.a4.. B.. ,.
81 The Cincinnati Commercial having sad
"Beecher himself was once spoken of as a
candidate for the Presidency, we feel sure
that if he had received the nomination Gree
ley would have supported him. OF course
this is no reason why Beecher should sup
port Greeley, but it is reason why he
should treat him fairly" Beecher replies
'sIf Mr.. Greedy had received the nomina-
nation of the Republican party we should
have supported him. But what if Mr.
Greeley had remained in the Republican
party and Mr.. Beecher received the nomi.
nation of the Democratic party, would
Greeley have supported Beecher then !
The Tribune would have been. summer
threshing floor, and no fail would have
been long enough or tough enough to beat
Beecher small as the very dust"

Republican Mass Meeting at Alexandria-De-
lano on Greeley.

Alexandria, Va, July ia large
Grant and Wilson ratification meeting was
held last evening in this city, at which
speeches were delivered by Secretary De-
lano, Prof. j. M. Langston, colored, and
Hon. j. j. III. Ella, fifth auditor of the tres-
sury. The secretary spoke an hour and a
half. Secretary Delano concluded his speech
by arguing that if Mr.. Greeley, is elected,
would place himself under obligations to
the Democratic party-that in some degree,
at least, he would be the exponent of the
principles Of that party that it could not
be otherwise than so, unless Mr.. Greeley
designed to deceive, and abuse the confid-
ence which the Democratic party was be-
slowing upon him. Mr.. Greeley was in
capable of such deception, and therefore
the conclusion was inevitable that his adj
ministration would in some degree, at least,
be shaped in accordance with Democratic
ideas and sentiments. G3 -
He disclaimed any design or desire to do
injustice to Mr.. Greeley, or to doubt his
personal intes rity, but he claimed that it
was fair to argue from MIR. Greeley's posi-
ton that if elected be would be compelled
to deviate from the old landmarks of the
Republican party, and to fall into ways
and practices in accordance with demo-
cratic ideas, and he asked, therefore
feed so much for the salvation of the Union
amendments, should pause and consider
what he regarded as political trap, intend
ed to deceive, and to destroy i'll part the
work which had cost so much blood and so

Saratoga Races-Basset annin Victorious
Long fellow Withdrawn from the Track

Saratoga, July l9.-First race--sweep-
stakes, $50 each, 81 900 added by the AS
ISOLATION for FLIES ioaled in 1859, one
mile and an eighth. The race was won by
Woodbine, beating Minnie by nose, with
Nema trailing badly and Sue Ryder worse.
The last two were placed respectively
second and third, Minnie being ruled out
on account of crossing from the extreme
outside, impeding Woodbine on the
stretch, at the start. Time, 2:06f. Wood
bne was backed at two to one against the
others. .H.. ....
Second race--purse 81 900 for all ages,
miles. Bassett led for two and half miles,
with Littleton tapping him for most of the
distance, when he opened two clear lengths
as they passed the half-mile pole, which
Lttleton closed up again in the turn, and
challenged Bassett for the lead as he came
up the home stretch. Bassett answered
calamity, winning the race by couple of
lengths. Time, 5:43a. .~e.
Third race-purse of 5000, for all ages,
one mile and a quarter. Tubman won by
beating Gray Planet four lengths, with
Fadladeen third, and one length behind.
Time, 2:17!.
John Harper says, should Longfellow
fully recover and be fit to run again, he
would not let him start in another race il
he were certain of winning 100000.
