A NEw-CoMER.-We clip the fol-
lowing from the Brockport Democrat:
Miss NJ. Logan, who for two years
and half has been engaged in the
dress making business in Brockport,
has closed her shop preparatory to
taking her departure for Los Angeles,
California, where she intends resu-
ming her work. Miss Logan has suf-
fered from i'll health for number of
years and we learn that she makes the
change in the hope that the climate of
California may benefit her. This lady
leaves many friends and business ac-
quaintances in Brockport who, while
they regret the occasion of her depart
ure, are hopeful that the climate may
restore her to health and that the Ia
dies of Los Angeles may not be slow to
discover her skill in the art OF
adOrning.

GRANTS CHIEF JUSTICE.
From the Philadelphia Age, Dec.

Some time ago, a man named Brown
was convicted in the United States
District Court of this city for the crime
of Illegal voting. The case was clear
one, and the offender was sentenced to
the penitentiary. In brief period he
was pardoned by Gen. Grant, as he de-
clared on the recommendation of GER
tain citizens. Application was made
for list of the men who asked for the
pardon of the prisoner. The Attorney
General of the United States refused
that application. He would not let the
people of Philadelphia know who petit
toned to have repeater set
free to duplicate the same. act at
the coming election. He stood between
the Ring" of this city, who struck the
letters from the limbs Of a personator,
and the honest voters. He shielded the
Ring" That man was Mr.. Williams,
who has been appointed Ch1ef-Justice
of the Supreme Court of the nation by
President Grant. Is he fit man to
fill the seat once occupied by Mar
shall and fancy? If as Attorney
General of the Republic he acted the
role of a small-fly politician, will he
not run IN the same ruts as Chief
Justice? The liberties of country
and people are in imminent peril
when their Court of last resort, outside
of revolution, is presided over Sy a
man who will step aside from thetpath
of official duty to shield such lot of
political thieves as constitute the
Ring of this city.

ment officials, and that Secretary Robe
son had exhausted his appropriation
and was about to ask for
s., 100000 Immediately. The re-
action in the case of most of the
stocks on the list was not so great as
the morning advance, and the market
generally closed at higher prices than
those prevailing at the opening, and
higher Throughout than the closing
rates of Saturday. Lake Shore ad-
vanced from 732s to 76a, and closed at
75s. New York Central opened at 49,,
rose to 95k and closed at 94a Harlem
opened at 100, advanced to 123, and
and closed at 1913. Wabash advanced
from 81 to "a, and closed at 53a. st.
Paul opened at 37aa and closed at 39s.
Western Union opened at 734, and
closed at 7244. Pacific Mail opened at
Al, rose to ~, and fell to 800, and closed
at 40. These quotations show the ten
denotes Of the market.
From the New York Times, Dec. 0.
The advance yesterday morning was
principally in stocks which have not
had the best reputation, either as to
value or as to The character of the rail
road management. Easy money may
make these stocks strong for a while,
but time will reveal defects which will
lower the prices. No bull clique wishes
to become saddled with worthless stocks
and bonds, and no advance can be sub
stantial which is not founded on real
merit. In the afternoon a reaction
from the high prices took place, which
was brought about by different reasons
of an important nature. 1t was discov-
cred that the legal tenders in the banks
We're largely drawn upon to take care
of the cotton crop which is now being
moved to the seaboard; that the Geo. B.
Grinnen & Co.'S stocks are about to
come upon the market under the decis-
ion of the court authorizing their sale;
that the Government reserve is not now
being seriously encroachcd upon, and
that the outstanding legal tenders may
be decreased instead of the opposite.
Under these influences there was a set
back to the market which was decided,
although it may prove but temporary.
Should there be less desperate attempts
to dispose of worthless stocks at high
figures the Immediate future of Wall
street will be far more promising.

CARPENTER.
From the Chicago Tim,


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Senate
Republican caucus to-day voted unani-
mously to re-elect Senator Carpenter
President of the Senate. He did not
attend the caucus, in order that there
might be a full discussion of the Long
Branch scandal, in which he was alleged
to be so prominent. 1t was most thor
oughly discussed, the senatorial law
yers giving their opinion that
the evidence did not implicate
Carpenter in any immoral conduct
ever, and that the developments made
showed it to bea malicious invention of
the Ne1v York Tribune correspondent.
The caucus discussed the question Of
expelling the said correspondent from
the reporters galleryof the Senate, and
referred it to a committee. 1t is claim
ed that the Tribune has ample proof of
all it charged, but the delay in print
ing 1t occasions surprise.

EFFORTS TO DEFEAT BOOTH.
From the Chicago Times.


WASHINGTON, Dec. g:-A private dis
patch received here this morning from
San Francisco gives the latest plan of
the Senatorial contest in California. 1t
says: The independent factions have
failed thus far to secure the Democratic
vote to elect Booth for the term COM
mencing March 4, 1875, on their prom
Use to elect Democrat for Casserly' S
unexpired term. The Democrats out
number the Independents and the Re
publicans, and have determined to
stand by their caucus nominee. The
Republicans will vote for a Democrat
in preference to Booth, whom they
charge with destroying the party. and
as the strength of the Independents
for Booth is less than one-third of the
Legislature, his chances are regarded
as decidedly slim.
