PoTATo MARKET SOUTH AND NORTH
In New Orleans there is great dearth of
Irish potatoes at present, and this, too, at
time while the remains of the old crop
are drug in Maine and other Northern
States, and the new crop from Virginia is
supplying the West with an abundance.
Potatoes are quoted at 81 to $12 per bar
rel in New Orleans, while retailers sell
them at three cents each. The difficulty is
that the market is so easily glutted that
dealers fear to ship to it, even when there
is an apparent profit in doing so. In the
New York market the old crop was quoted
as low as twenty-five cents per barrel, and
hard to sell at that

THE POSTAL CAR QUESTION.

The last paper on the running of postal
cars by the Phila., Will. & Bait. Railroad
is from President Hinckley to Postmaster
General Marshall. Mr.. Hinckley sets forth
in his statement of the case that the
company receives but five mills per lineal
foot per mile for running their postal
cars, which is less than the Senate COM
mittee recommends who carefully examin-
ed the whole subject, and named eight
mills as adequate compensation. Mr..
Hinckley asserts that the rates they are
paid by the department is less than they
receive for the lowest grade of freight,
such as bricks and pig iron carried on plat
form cars. He proposes to continue the
postal cars on the road till the first of JAN
uary if the department will allow them
the rate named by the Senate committee,
and after the first of August, if the Gov.
eminent continues to use the cars, it will
be understood by the Railroad Company
that their terms are agreed to, which ar
rangement is to continue till the first of
next January. If Mr.. Jewell, the newly
appointed Postmaster General, after he
arrives and takes possession of the Office.
desires to open the question again, Presi-
dent Hinckley signifies his willingness to
do so. The Railroad Company demand
thirteen mills per linal foot of cars used
per mile as an adequate compensation for
their services in transporting the mails.
President Hinckley also suggests that the
department advertise for proposals for car
rying the mails between Baltimore and
Philadelphia and guarantees that they will
be received 1t is claimed that other roads
receive much higher compensation for
transporting the mails than the P, w. g.
b. Company.
THE BEECHEE-TILToN SCANDAL-This
greatest scandal of the age is still in a
blessed state of uncertainty; and the plot
seems to thicken every day, as new charac-
tiers are introduced. Mr.. Tilton has been
sued for libel by one of his friends for the
purpose of bringing the matter before the
Courts, where the testimony can be sifted,
and not covered up as it is feared the
church committee which has the case in
charge, are disposed to do. Whether
Beecher is guilty Of adultry, as Tilton
charges, or innocent as his friends allege,
it is evident that the relations of "spiritual
love" which he, Beecher, and Mrs. Tilton
both admit, existed between them, was any
thing than proper relation for preacher,
or any other man, to maintain with another
mans wife. When minister draws
his inspiration from pretty woman,
particularly if she is the wife of another.
we have very serious doubts about that
inspiration being of divine origin. When
such "divinity shapes our ends ~ it is safe
to class the inspiration along with Burns,
Byron's and Tom Moore's, which is drawn
from it.
