PRICES OF GRAIN,

La our July and August Nos, (says the
american Farmer We warned farmers
against fcrcing their wheat into market, as
there could be but little expectation of prices
ranging for any length of time at lower fig
ure than was then being paid. The uecessi-
ties Of many growers hurried large quantities
into the market, and for a time prices were
depressed-but an advance is being made, as
it now turns out and is admitted that the yield
at the West is proved on the result of the
threshing, to be below the general expectation,
and the farmers there are, in consequence
slow to part with their wheat. This fact is
now admitted by the commercial press, as " eli
as the Produce Exchange Reporters pub'ioa-
tions at New York. In addition to which it
is found that there is a deficiency, according
to the London Times, of more than 81, 600
600 bushels in the crops of Great Britain, be-
sides an estimated deficiency of three pounds
per bushcl in weight This result was stated
before the great disaster was known or adult
ted in the Potato crop, which will Increase
very largely the deficiency of food which is to
be provided for the supply of the United
Kingdom, to be furnished mainly from the
United States.
1t will be remembered by our readers hat
about the time ofthe iugatheriug of the crops,
we demurred to the statements received at
the Agricultural Bureau, Of the rose -colored
re :orts Of the wheat crop. We have known
of old some of the tricks of the trade, and
have seen such statements palmed upon the
public when contracts arc being made for fu-
ture delivery, and which were subsequently,
found to have been instIgated by spectators
who, after they had secured the command of
large amounts, were enabled to sell out at
heavy advance. The recent corner in grain
at the West, which was, however, defeated,
and the parties engaged therein brought to
shame, might possibly be traced to the early
misstatements about the crop. We cannot
but believe that the price of grain must rule
high before another crop comes Id, and we
would reiterate the advice heretofore given to
keep themselves in position to avail oe any
favorable condition Of the market which will
enable them to- realize just price for their
produce.

Greeley. The object is to elect the electoral

throw the election into the House, by clst-

southerner. While it supports the Greeley
ticket now, it says the South has no idea o:
trusting the heaven forsaken old renegade

The investigation into the Office of Inspec.
tor of Gas, 10 Richmond, it is said discloses
a degree oflooseness, negligence indifference
aud fraud seldom found in the mast corrupt
departments of the worst managed cities
Each Inspector did as he pleased turned on
and off gas at will; contracted private bills,
and let some people run their gas bills from
three to fifteen or seventeen months. To what
extent the city has suffered it is impossible to
know the state Of things in existence having
continued during three or four years Four
separate and distinct forgeries, it is said, have
! been discovered.
Suppose this condition Of things had been
discovered under Republican municipal
government? The howl of fraud and cor
ruption would have been blazoned to the pub
lie in flaming headings and double loaded
lines until the day of the November election.
As it is not a Republican city government,
there is scarcely an editorial aluson to it in
the city press. We have no sympathy with
corruption in public or private service, and
are always gratded to see it exposed, when
ever and wherever it occurs, and by whomso-
ever committed. Considering the field Of
operation, it is almost equal to the frauds in
the New York city government.
The fact is, corruption is rampant and all
prevalent. Neither Democrats, Conservatives
nor Republicans are free from it. 1t is ram
flied through all the avenues Of government
| and the exception is not to ind it.

WHERE BEN BUTLER FoUGHr. Al
though the negro debate at Cooper
Institute, the other night, was a
scurvy affair, we are indebted to the
administration champion Rev. Fl. II.
Garrett, for one entirely new and
startling fact in our history--a fact
we venture to say as novel and inter
esting to President Grant as to any
body. 1t has been among tho "histo-
rical problems" of the war. Where
did General Butler fight? Was it at
Baltimore or at Big Bethel? Or at
New Orleans, aftcrits capture for him
by Farragut? Or was it on the James,
where the distinguished General-in-
Chief of our armies reports him to
have been "bottled upl" No, it was
at nohc of these famous points that
Garnett's piercing ray detected him in
the active defence of his country. Oh
course not Even his dusky auditors
would have known better. But he
alluded to our hero as "Bcn Butler,
who fought among the clouds p There
you have it, future McCauley of your
country. Ben Butler fought among
the clouds There is in our earlier
history one other General who fought
among the clouds, but didn't stay
there. We believe his name was Lu-
cifer.-Springfeld Republican.
