UNITED STATES CONSULATE GENERAL,
London July 5, 1873. )
Hon: Assis: ant Secretary Of State, Washington,
D.. c.:
SIR have the honor TO report in reply
to your dispatch, No. lS0, that have made
an examination into the subject OF the trade
in wheat from New York aud New Orleans
to London and Liverpool, and IN reply to
.the inquiries Of the Hon. William Window,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Transportation Routes to the seabOard,
communicated to me in said dispatch Ibeg
to state that if the modes of transportation
are the same and the care in storage is
equal. Western wheat transported via New
Orleans does not sell lower either in the
London or Liverpool market than Western
wheat shipped to either OF those ports from
New York; but if the conditions mentioned
differ. the rates Of sale differ on the arrival
of the wheat.
If grain is brought by sailing vessels in
stead of steamers, which happens more
often in the case of that imported from New
Orleanss than that from New York, or if it
is badly stored, exposed to air or dampness,
there is material difference in the value
on its arrival. The mere fact Of storage at
New Orleans and OF the passage through
the lower Mississippi and the Gulf OF
Mexico, however. does not in duty depre-
ciate the value of the grain, though the
longer tine required under these circum-
stances Il AXE the possibility of damage
greater. and when grain thus transported
is sold before examination and at the risk
OF tho buyer, its value Is accordingly and
unfavorably affected. l am. sir, Your obed-
lent servant, ADAM BADEAU,
Consul General.

This statement. like many others ema-
mating }rorA Democratic authority. is lot
in all respects il conformity to reality.
Now, while all good citizens will agree
that Lincoln's death was an unfortunate
occurrence, none can truthfully say it
was caused By accident. His death was
cruelty planned and executed By an assas-
sin for political purpose, not remotely
affecting. as many thought, the speedy
accession Of the Democratic party to
power. If the subject Of the WorlTs re-
marks in this connection was not grave
one, We might be led to think, from its
we'll known character for wit upon ill
proper occasions, that it was speaking in
a Pickwickian sense in attributing 1I..
Lincoln's death 70 accident.
Our neighbor-who is no Pickwickian,
but always serious-we hope will see that
we are led by no captious or triiing spirit
in thus arraisning the Democratic deini-
ton of the cause Of the death of the na-
tons chief magistrate at a time Of immi-
nent danger to the country. We desire to
