The trade movement continued slow and un-

better feeling than on Monday, it being demon
strated that Of the great mercantile interests
Of this city will be likely to suffer very materially
from the great disaster which has befallen
Boston. But the incemency Of the weather en-
hanced the hindering influences to active trade
operations and the volume OF business,
both on 'Change and on the street, was
small The unsettled condition OF the money mar
ket, coupled with the uncertainties regarding the
future, tends to restrict business also; but 1t s
hoped that all trouble arising from this particular
source will speedily pass away. On Change to-day
cotton was steadier, though transactions were on
moderate scale. At the Produce Exchange -four

lower, particularly the lower grades Of Spring.
Corn was irregular, being irmer at the commence
ment, but dull and heavy at the close.
Oats were frmer, under freer movement.
Provisions were still dull and heavy, but scarcely
anything was done in pork while lard was lower.
There was fair inquiry for freight room, partcu-

poIitIeaI-Prisoner Sentenced

POlitlcaI-Prls0ne Sentenceo.
BosroN, May 25.-Hon. I. w. Bird
made speech at East Walpole, last
evening, on the part he took in the
Cincinnati Convention. He severely
criticised President Grant for his action
toward Mr.. Sumner, and said that il
other men felt as he (Bird) did about
it, they could only consistently with
their self respect and the honor OF
Massachusetts give General Grant and
his followers TO understand that until
that great outrage was atoned for,
neither Grant nor any of his friends
could ever expect the support oil
auy OF. the ;. Republican party in
Massachusetts,. Mr. Bird furthar said
that Mr.. Adams would have been
nominated at Cincinnati had the Mas
sachusetts delegation been. a unit for
him or had he not written that fiippaut
letter. The noisy work of the Conyen-
ton was for Davis, the earnest work for
Adams. The speech Of + Governor
Gratz Brown, be said, injured more than
helped Greeley chance. Birds speech
is generally regarded as bold and signi.
ficant and will doubtless create . sensa-
ton in political circles in this State.
In the Superior Criminal Court this
week Thomas Norton was sentenced to
fifteen years in the State prison for
yarroting and robbery. .....

HOUSE.

The House reassembled at 73O las
evening to consider the reports IRON
the Committee on Claims. No bushes;
OF importance was transacted up tG
midnig ght, when the House commenced
filibusteriug over bill to pay damages
for the destruction Of property neal
Lexington, Missouri, during the war.
Ati240 this morning a motion to
adjourn was made and, on vote by
the tellers, the Speaker declared the
House adjourned. Immediately the
opposition commenced calling for the
yeas and nays. In the confusion which
followed, it was some time before the
Speaker could command sufficient
order to put the question. When
the question was put, the House
by decided majority, refused
to adjourn. Then proceeded a call o.
the House, the first protracted call dur
ing the present session. 1t was made
upon the bill to pay Mr.. Wallace, a res
ident of Missouri, for property destroyed
during the war. The fear was that q
dangerous precedent would be set, and
consequently action on the bill was re
sisted.
A vote developed the fact that quo
rum was lacking and a call of the House
was ordered, resulting in great deal o.
time being wasted by the calling OF the
roll on dilatory motions, during which
much merriment was INDUCED in al
over the House. At first the oppon ents
of the bill wanted to adjourn, but the
motions to that end were success
lively voted down. Although the doors
were closed the absent members
were sent for and allowed to enter and
at a quarter to three o'clock this morn
ing a quorum appeared, when the ma
iority who had all through been resisting
motions to dispense with further pro-
ceedinds under the call. changed their
base, because they saw a prospect o
passing the bill, whereupon the minority
resisted dispensing with proceedings
under the call as long as they could.
The House INDUCED in all kinds Of
dilatory motions until 8 o'clock this
morning, when vote was obtained on
the pending bill, which was passed by
a vote of l03 ayes to 35 noes, when the
House, at $40 A. NJ, adjourned until
Monday.

Mr.. Poole called up the bill to estao'

Murder and Suicide-Po-

CINCINNATI, May 26.-A special dis
patch from Troy, Ohio, to the CONNER
cial says that Robert Fuller, wealthy
and highly respected farmer living FIVE
miles east Of that place, called his wife
Ing her hisgrain. No sooner had she
out OF the house for the purpose OF show
stepped outside the door than he drew a
revolver and fred at her, the ball taking
etec. in her breast and producing. it
is believed, fatal wound. He then
placed the revolver against his fore
head and discharged one load into his
brain, producing instant death. Fuller
was thirty-fve years old, and heretofore
has been considered sane man. The
affair creates great excitement.

The Press on GreeIey's Letter.

The press pretty generally pronounce
Mr.. Greeley's letter accepting the Lib
eral nomination an able and yigor Gus
paper, some OF the opposition even
styling it courageous, while single
journal, the New York Post, merely re.
CARDS it as cunning From this
point the line OF comment divides. The
Administration papers say that the life
has been taken out Of it by the action
of Congress in passing what they call
the amnesty act, a partial and hence
ungracious measure at this late day.
They also speak Of il as bid for Dem>
ocratic support. A straightout Demo.
cratic paper saws that in it Mr. Gree
ley departs from his lifelong principles,
as that paper understands them. One
free trade paper speaks OF Mr.. Greeley
"as willing to hide his protectionist
proclivitics under mass OF words. "
But however adverse the line of critI-
cism, or however inimical 10 Mr.. Gree
ley may be the critic, no: one under.
takes to pronounce the letter anything
short OF a firstcass document in point
Of tone as well as method. Those who
speak for SOuthern sentiment point out
that in it Mr.. Greeley touches chord
which is quick to respond generously to
its generous sentiment

TERRE HAUTE, May 25.-Hon. d. w.

about two thousand persons this even7
ing at the City Park. He spoke one
hour, and was very bitter in his denun-
Citations of General Grant and his ad-
ministratiop, deeming him man OF no
brain or Judgment and as being sur
rounded by the most Infamous and
corrupt men in the nation. He ar

terrible blast and denouncing him In

happen, he asked his friends to write
his epitaph upon his tombstone, that
he was true to his trust and died in the

largely of Republicans, many sof them
from the neghboring towns. His
speech was not we'll received and very
little enthusiasm was manifested.

BROOKLYN, y. y, May, 1872.

BROOKLYN, y. y, May, 1872.
Editors of the Register:
The General Conference OF the NJ.
E. Church now in session in this city
has attracted a measure of attention
most remarkable even for these two
cities OF daily sensations. From the
'city of churches, and from Gotham,
or Tweedopolis, the crowds which have
poured into the Academy of Music
have shown that church doings are
watched with profound interest even
by the people who are surrounded by
rings and who are centering their hopes
all on Erie. The great event thus far
in the Conference has been the ballot
ing for Bishops. Eight were to be
elected. Four ballots were had. The
successful men are as follows: DR..
Thomas Bowman, DR.. w. l.. Harris,
DR.. Z. r. Foster elected on the first
ballot), Dr.. I. w. Wiley, DR.. +. NJ
Merrill (elected on the second BALLOT,
DR.. E. q. Andrews, G. Haven (elected
on the third BALLOT. and DR.. j.
T. Peck, elected on the fourth
ballot. | send you brief sketches
Of these gentlemen, and will say no
more about them than this: OF the
eight elected, one is a missionary Secreta'
ry, one President OF q Theological Semi,
nary, one President Of a College, three
Editors and two Pastors. The feeling
of satisfaction throughout the commu,
nifty here and in New York is general;
the judgment being that the Conference
has made good selections. DR.. A.
Martin, President of the West Virginia
State University, received 46 votes
which we regard as being quite com
plimentary. AS matter Of curiosity

various candidates on the first ballot

Quoted finely and the best of temper
prevailed on all sides.
The Book Concern troubles are soon
to be settled. DR.. Lanahan made a
very strong and violent speech on Mon
day and was followed by good tenn
pered and well considered reply to his
report on Tuesday.
The West Virginia delegation is win
ming good opinions; hard working and
earnest, not wasting time in speech max.
ing. Your correspondent has met DR..
Westwood, OF the Fourth street Church,
and C. w. Brockunier, Esq., Of the
firm OF Brockunier & Co; also Misses
Boyd, Hallowell & Logan, Of your
city, all looking we'll and seeming TO
be at home in this great city.
The Academy, in which the Confer
ence is held, is admirably adapted to
the purpose 1t is crowded daily.
As | hope to write you again, will
close this hastily written letter, merely
remarking that the forces are now mar
sbaing for the contest over the reman-
ing General Conference Offices.

Editors OF the Register:
Since | wrote to you last the only
items OF special interest in the General
Conference have been,
|. The selection OF st. Louis as the
seat of the next session.
.. The resignation Of DR.. Harris,
Bishop elect, as Secretary OF the Confer

ST. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha, Atlanta
and San Francisco The FIVE senior
Bishops will reside, as before, in or near

4. The ordination OF Bishops to-day
at l0i o'clock. The Academy Of Music,
in which the services were held, was
dcnsely packed throughout the exer-
cises, which were very solemn.
Rumor has it that an effort will be
made to put one of our delegation in
the editorial chair Of the WeE7H
Czistian Adrocate, vacated by the cleo
ton of Dr.. Merrill to the Episcopacy.
One of the Church papers has the
following historical NOES suggested by
the ordination OF Bishops: The fret
Methodist Episcopal ordination took
place in 1874 at the organization OF the
Church. Thomas Coke and Francis
Asbury were then ordained. Sixteen
years later Richard Whateoat was Or
