The present prospect is that General Butler

by the dissatisfaction with Governor Wash

In one ofthe latest divorce suits in New
York, the wife asks for separation on the
ground of harsh treatment, her husband
having come in late when she was unwell,
rung the bell more violently than was nee
essary, denied her money when she wanted,
and on one occasion shut the lid of the pi-
ano on her hand and hurt it. The husband
denies the harsh treatment and the refusal
of money for any necessary expense, and
complains that his wife was extrsvsgant in
her love of music, and in her expenditures
in gratifying that love.

The circumstance that has given cur
rency to the report of the loss or absence of
War Department records is the fact that
since the death of Gen. Candy, Benjamin
F. Butler has made application to the Sec
rotary of War for certain papers aud
vouchers relating TO his financial admins
tration at New Orleans, which be says he
delivered personally to Secretary Stanton.
He also says that before his interview with
Secretary Stanton terminated, the latter
sent for General Candy, who then occupied
q confidential POSITION in the War Depart
ment, and the General was directed to
make . thorough examination of the papers
and report his conclusions to the Secre-
lary. Butler alleges that at the same
time Stanton remarked TO him that
he had placed his papers in the hands of a
competent and faithful officer, who would
do justice to him and the government. Ac-
cording TO Gen. Buffers statement, Gen.
Candy made report which fully sustained
Buffers action. After Canby's death, Mr..
Stanton being also dead, Butler comes for
ward in great anxiety aboui bis reputation
during the war, at lesst so far as it was con-
cerned in the papers referred to. His con-
sternatiop knows no bounds, now that the
papers can not be found; nor does any
trace of their presentation or any report by
Gen. Z nby appear upon TIE records of the
department. The search is still progress
ing, but with no prospect Of sustaining But
ler's claims.

of domestic and - bales foreign for the same week
last year.
The main features of the market are unchanged
and the transactions have been mostly confined to
small lots. Holders of wool are not anxious to
make time sales and cash customers generally de-
mand concessions in price that dealers are not
willing to make. The sales are consequently con-
fined to such parcels as required for present
wants. Prices more or less irregular, although
rs whole prices are very well sustained. The
stock of domestic wool is small for the season and
there is no apprehension but that it will be all re-
qured at fair prices before another clip can be
MAJ keted. Foreign wool is firm and there is no
change TO note in price. Combing woolis firm and

can be manufactured either of thick or thin
material, of leather or cloth, for ladies' or
gentlemen's wear; and it is claimed that
twenty per cent. saving is made in stock. and
that the shoes are more durable, and easier
for the wearcr, as there are no seams to rip
or press against tender feet. Mr.. Grove OBJ
tanned patent for his inventionlin 1872, and
has sold the right of the United States to
Messrs. Magoune & Prior of Boston, for
twenty thousand dollars; reserving for HIM
self the right to manufacture in any State of

east, obligng him to put out to sea again,
where for several days the storm tossed him
about without mercy, unil he made anchor
age in Cape Ann harbor. A few minutes
