The Fifth Avenue Hotel Confer
ence-Mr. Carl SchHrz.

In pursuance OF the call signed by
Carl Schurz, Of Missouri, Jacob ID.
Cox, Of Ohio, William G, Bryant
and Oswald OttendOrfer, of New
York; David A. Wells, of Connect
cut, and Jacob BrinlerhooG of Ohio,
there was a meeting on the goth
inst, ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel, ''ol
gentlemen WHO are opposed to the
present administration ard its con
tinuance in office, and who deem it
necessary that all the elements OF
the opposition should be united for
a common effort at the Presidential
election" The signers4 Of this CALI
however, we're not satisfied with the
Cincinnati ticket, and the meeting
was held odecide what to do about.
Mr. SchUrz and Mr.. Trumbull both
decided for the Cincinnati nominees,
and when the interchange of opin-
ions among the one hundred mann
beers, more or less, of this conference
began it was soon made manifest,
from the earnest speeches in sup
port of Greeley, and from the en-
tLusiasm with which they were re
ceivcd, that even this assemblaqe of
supposed anti Greeley old-line wings
old-line democrats and anti-Grant
lreet-ade republicans was anything
but a unit against the Cincinnati
candidates. The whole thing result
ted in a triumph for Greeley Sena-
tor Trumbull delivered a short adj
dress, in which he said "To the
question that comes nppermost
among us there is only one answer
which occurs to NE as reasonable
or possible How are we to defeat
Grant? BY supporting Greeley"
Carl SchuIz said respecting the
Cincinnati nominees: perhaps q
better ticket could have been devised
and perhaps not. Greeley is now
before the people; and his name can
not be withdrawn. Overwhelming
waves Of opinion are rising in his ia
vor; and it would be idiotic to at
tempt at this juncture to stay their
progress The Senator expressed
the opinion that if Mr.. Greeley was
elected, as he would be, by an over
whelming vote, he would select from
all parties such a Cabinet and draw
around him such men as the nation
would place entire confidence in.
The World editorially treats the
conference as a fiasco.
The Herald thinks the conference
developed that the democratic party,
old and young, will go for Greeley.
The Times says it amounted to
nothing.
The Tribune believes that nothing
but good has resulted from the con
ference.
1t is reported that after the adj
iournment of the conference last
night, Judge Stalo called a meeting
for to-day of those dissatisfied with
the result Of Yesterday.

The Wheat Cron-

The topic of absorbing interest
just now is the wheat crop. What
is its extent. and what will probably
be the price oft. The st. Louis
Democrat of a receut date contains
special dispatches from all parts Of
Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska and
Michigan, showing that the crops
in those states has turned out poor
ly, and the best authorities estimate
the entire yield of the country at
one third below the average. In
Tennessee, Kentuclly, North Carroll
ma, Virginia and portion of Indiana
and Ohio it is even above average
in the other Southern States aboat
average. and in the north and north
west about half average. For the
benefit of producers we republish
the following from the Democrat;
"Prices now are high; notwith
standing tie evidence of very
short crop there viii be q sufficient
rush of new wheat into the market
We think, during July, to knock
down prices quite seriously. Then
it is fair to presume receipts will
check up and the market gain In
strength uLul the soft Iowa spring
wheat comes into market ia Septem-
her. This occurrence will probably
deaden prices again and check re
ceiPts. After the close of the upper
rivers and spring wheat can only

winter here. OF course we do not
pretend % vouch for the accuracy q
this view Of the markets future, but
print it as our Judgment after "a
thoughtful review Of the whole sit
uation. Last winter our market
was stronger than it would have
been nv the competition of buvcrs
for Southern mills. This winter Our
local mills will grind many thou
sands OF bushels Of Southern wheat.
while the Southern mills viii have
an abundance OF homegrown grain
10 grind also, and viii supply no
small part of the -four eaten in the
South and usually purchased OF
our ST. Louis millers. With this
probable restriction in the dour de-
maid. and the absence OF outside
competition for wheat on oar mar
ket, our miilcrs viii be slow and
close buyers during the winter, aud
will not manufacture as much flour
as they did in the fall and winter
of 1871 ana spring 81 =. w

GENEVA.
The Claims for Consequential Dam
ages Thrown Out by the Board
of Arbitration.


Special Telegraphic Correspen-
dence Of the Courier JozTnGt says:
The treaty of Washington has been
so often reported lost and so often
claimed as saved that reports either
way have lately received but little
credence. The official advices from
Geneva, Just at hand, again indicate
that the treaty win not only be
saved, but that the arbitration viii
proceed. This result has been
brought about in some way as yet
unknown in detail, bv which it is
learned that the arbitrators viii
virtually decide that while there IS
no demand for money damages for
the indirect claim, in fact this class
of claims is not in any way covered
by the treaty. 1t is not pretended
that there has been any formal de
cision by the tribunal to that effect;
but the United States have had rea-
son to more earnestly reiterate Gen.
Schenck's assurance to Earl Gran
vile that no claim for consequential
damages win be pressed on the Gen
eva Board. 1t is therefore believed
that the arbitration win 90 on, and
that the principle involved in the
indirect claims viii be reserved for
separate negotiations between the
two Governments in the future.
When the board reassembles on
Wednesday next, a brief postpone
ment may be made; but. according
to the present outlook, it will in no
way indicate a probable failVe Of
the treaty.

The Cincinnatl Railroad


Col. Mcclure Of Cornersville was
in our office the other day rather
jubilant over the prospect of a rail
road soon to be built from JCmciu-
natl, via Gallatin, Lewisburg, etc,
n survey Of which was made
through the eastern portion of. this
county last year. lie is in receipt
of letter from Col Turner, of Gal
latin, director of the road, giving
information that the contract is
about being let ont to GalIatin-
the gaps in subscriptions from that
point to Cincinnati having been
filed. Marshall county has already
a subscription of 1910, 1000, and it is
only necessary now for Wilson and
RUTHERFORD 10 veto their subscIip-
tons to insure the road to Lewis
burg. The objective southern ter
minus Of this road is Decatur or
Huntsville, but Col. Mcclure thinks
that Pulaski can get it by a little
effort. Like him, we believe that in
few years-perhaps by the time
that road is tinished-all the east
ern, western and southern connec-
tions desired can be had at Pulaski,
thus saving the cost of building at
least forty miles of road. We would
Toe glad TO see some demonstration
CA the part Of our citizens looking TO
the future railroad interest of Giles

We may rot have both the Memphis

Barring the title, which has nothing to do
with the story, and some extravagances, such
as a mother-of-pedrl bedstead, and woman Bit
ing her lip, till the blood spirited out, while her
tears almost scdlded her brain, this little book
is really a casbet of gems with great deal of
golden poetry, uncommon dramatic power and
startling incident, not only original, but quite
possible, II not altogether probable. The lesson
it teaches too, appears to be needed just now
among our superior women, and dissatisfied, or
disappointed wives, who, in the present condi-
ton of the marriage puzzle are clutching con-
vulsiyely at their chains. Let them watch and
pray-or watch and wait-and their chains, II

Wild Bill.

Among the white scouts were numbered
some of the most noted of their class. The
most prominent man among them was ''Wild
Bill" whose lhly varied career was made
the subject of an illustrated sketch in one Of
the popular monthly periodicals few years
ago. "Wild BilP' was strange character,-
just the one which a novelist might gloat
over. He was Plainsman in every sense of
the word, yet unlike any other of his class.
In person he was about six feet one in height,
straight as the straitest of the warriors whose
implacable foe he was; broad shoulders, we'll
formed chest and limbs, and face strikingiy
handsome; sharp, clear blue eye, which
stared you straight in the face when IN con-
versation; a tinely-shaped nose, inclined to be
aquiline; well-turned mouth, with lips only
partially concealed by handsome moustache.
