Corn AMI, ,OATS.-We publish an inter
esting article this morning from the Chi.
csgo Tribune in regard to the recent cor
ner in corn and the furry in the oats mar.
ket. The New York Bulletin Of yesterday
(August 3d) in speaking Of this corner ex.
presses itself as follows 'r n
"There appearsto have been more ol
real fact on which to build the "corner'
in oats. : True, the receipts at the Lake
ports, since August l, 1873, have been fully
equal TO an average oil the last three
years; but the low price Of the article
appears to have caused q largely
increased consumption at the West
for the shipments from the Lake ports
since January 1st, are about 100000
bushels below tho average Of 1872 and
1878, and the result Is apparent in "visi
BILE supply" oil only 100000 bushels aE
sgaipst 4 100000 bushels a year ago. The
shortness oil the visible supply has facili
tated the creation Of the corner" but The
speculation having eliminated, the mar
ket Is now open 10 the full effect Of tht
prospect OF q large now crop, and price,
are rapidly falling"

TIE PArkersburg JOurnd! has made
the best analysis that we have seen of the
late letter OF the Hon. CHARLES JAMES
FAULKNER II is as follows: % ~
Twas once Wing, afterwards a Dem.
ocrat, now am neither. ,,i9s
l was once Confederate, now I am q
Federal. .ar--j + -, y,-'i, IL. '

it would lead TO "a general stagnAtion Of

favor of giving the negro about all he
asks.
lam in favor Of railroads, and also op.
posed 10 them. % i.
lam in favor OF Grants administration
sometimes, and sometimes opposed to it.
CHARLES JAMES, like MARTIN VAN
buren,, knows how to write letter and
not say anything. He has studied nom
committalism too many years to come
out in these slippery times, when the peo-
pie are SO much split up, with a letter
that can be read only one way. By the
way, we see that he is following up his
letter with visits in person to the western
counties Of the Second District. The
Philippi PIaindeaIer announces his
presence in that town and acknowledges
a visit to It's editor. ltalso says that"
is candidate for Congress, subject to the
decision Of Democratic Convention"

sALT LAKE, August 8-There has been
considerable disturbance during the elec.
ton to-day at this place and the adjoin-
ing towns on account OF the disputes as to
the qualifications OF voters, the chal-
lengers being Liberals. During the alter
noon the Deputy U. s. Marshal here was
arrested and confined, but was afterwards
liberated on q writ othdbeaS corpus. Sew.
eral policemen were arrested during the
day by the Deputy Marshal, and at one
time there was general melee Of citizens
aad officers at the Central precinct.
After the closing Of the polls this even.
ing, Peter Clinton, Judge Of Election
OF the central precinct and late Police
Judge, and several policemen were ar.
reated BY the United States Marshall.
The charge against Clinton Is that he car.
ried of the ballot box at noon when he
went 10 dinner; that against tho police, OF
interfering with voters at the polls and
creating disturbance. An immense
crowd followed Judge Clinton 10 the
Territorial MarShall's Office, and a riot
seemed imminent, when Gov. Wood ad.
dressed the assembled crowd, which sOon
after dispersed. No more trouble Is an.
ticipated, The result of the election can.

A CREDrTABLE SHowNa.-We notice
In tho advertisement Of the Franklin In.
surance Company this morning that they
claim to have paid losses up to the 1st oil
July amounting to e62O02O 93. This Is
. vast amount Of money TO have been
paid out by an insurance company in the
unpretendiDg little city Of Wheeling.
What must have been the receipts Of the
Company in all these years to have en-.
abled 1t topay out that amount Of money
and OF the same time pay dividends Tor
several years and accumulate cash assets
TO the amount Of $4s5 ,O1O 10. We no.
tice by It's semi.annual statement Thirty
thousand copies Of which We have just
printed for the Company that the gross
amount Of premium received for the five
months ending May 8lst was $l70,354 53.
To this, we understand may be added for
the month Of juno (mostly reported since
July 1SO the further sum OF $4O,.
600, making an aggregate for the
six months say Of $2l0,S54 "a,
equivalent to an annual business OF over
$4,000. The losses reported adjusted
and unadjusted on this largo half yearly
business were $50, ,45s 20, or less than III
per cent The Company during the six
months paid the Losses oI 1878, amounting
70 $a7, 40, and also the dividend Of
January, amounting to S47,1O 40. 1t has
also declared and paid July dividend Of
per cent, and increased its assets about
$4,000. Considering the fact that the
present year has been a very severe one
30 far for insurance companies, it would
seem that the franklin has made graft
lying record, upon which her stockholders
md officers may congratulate themselves.

LOOKING THROUGH THE DEMOCRATIC
gTApT'E9

II we might be permitted to compare politi-
cal campaign, solemn and high-toned as 1t is, to
q horse race, with all its unedifying inqulties
We should say that the selection Of the Repub-
licau horses for the Delaware Fall Meeting has
been made, and they have been brought forth
from the stables to be gently led up and down
on the track, in waiting for the start. Meantime,
the Democratic jockes are looking through
their stables, and we shall have the selections
they make brought out, on the 9th, at Dover.
What horses have they?
First aud foremost is ex-President Bright.
He has run we'll, already, in the Gazette. So
many letters from all parts of the State, extol-
ling his qualities, and praising his style, wind,
and bottom, were never before written, on any
similar occasion. And yet, in the sale Of pools,
we do not see that Brother Bright stands so
high as the altitude of the great pile of lie tiers
ought to have put him. Following him, are a
number of other New Castle goers, of varying
ages, from colts to mature roadsters-we had
almost said hacks. Ex-Sherif Lyman was once
mentioned, but we do not believe he is now Sc
riously proposed Andrew c. Gray, square
goer of the old-fashioned sort; DIR. Les
Icy the ex-Speaker of the Senate, and
father Of some damaging legislation
DIR. John j. Black, of New Castle, of whom
none speak Ill; John P. Cochran, of ATddletown,
a man Of force and great peach-grower Al
bert o. Newton of st. Georges and many 9TH
ers. In Kent county, there is John w. Hall, Of
Frederica, whose ability o contribute $50, 600.
to the campaign has been whispered for months
as though money and the purchase OF votes
were the essential features of the Delaware
campaign-fe fie - and there is DR.. Cahall,
also of the lower end of the county there is
Mr.. Williams, ex-speaker OF the Senate and
probably others.
Sussex county, it seems, offers nobody for the
race. Her horses haYe not been in training,
since 1870, when her Ponder-ous runner won,
for the Gubernational cup--if there is any cup
beloning to the Governorship. On the contrary,
her spokesman, Colonel Townsend, sits on the
fence, swinging his legs, swapping his whip, and
crying out occasionally, "Bring out you. New
Castle nag -
Amongst all this list whom may we expect tC
see on the track? The Republicans have goel
full of jump. II there are to be any hurdles be
tween score and score, lie will surely clear them

The s.reat nan ger Of Mini.ters,

From the New York Observer
The establishment Of such relations between
pastor and his flock as shall secure for him
that intimacy which ought to exist only in the
domestic circle is an evil of fearful tendency
and unspeakable danger. Ministers are censur-
able in high degree who encourage their peo-
pie men or women, to come to them with fami-
ly matters or secret sores. Some men are them
selves gossipH, and delight to get and give all
they can Of social news, and the more secret the
richer the prize. They encourage revelations
when their ears should be deaf to everything
approaching to scandal. All judcious pastors
discourage familiarity on the part Of their peo-
pie, especially Of the female denomination.
For this way lies the danger. silly woman,
pious perhaps but very soft and shallow, hears
the stirring words of her eloquent pastor, il
roused warned soothed, exalted-she thinks
ediied-and straightway she believes him to he
the man sent to do her good. She goes to his
study to tell him 70 how much enjoyment she
finds in his words, or she writes him a letter and
pours out her little soul full Of twaddle about
her gratitude for what her dear pastor has done
for her f; how she ''s lifted up by his instruc-
tions how she loves him as friend given to be
her guide and comfort and 80 on, and 30 on,
more and worse, running into mawkish senti-
mentality, sickening man-worship, disgusting
to every sensible person, but very nectar to i
vain, worldly preacher, who seeks only to make
his hearers "feel good" Such people never &C

CHECKING THEIR HILARITY- SERIOUS
MESS as A SIEN

A late writer in the Catholic Hiorid, in some
readable Notes from ireland, announces that the
Hibernian joker of tradition is now extinct, and
the modern Irish are becoming serious people.
This gravity, the author thinks, is due to their
increased chances of bettering their condition,
either by emigration or i'll their own country.
where he sees a decidedimproyement in their own
industrial pre- poets. The reason given for the
alleged fact sounds paradoxical but there is pro-
badly reason in it. 1t is generally nation which
has least chance of improving its condition that
takes refuge in amusing itself, and change for
the better in its circumstances does bring re-
sponslbility and CRAFTY in its train. Some OBJ
servers deplore the light-hearted hilarity of the
plantation negroes as thing of the past, draw
ing the conclusion that the change in their con-
dition is not an unmxed Improvement Matri-
mony works some change in the gayety of young
people, particularly with lively girls of whom it
IL said that it ''takes the giggle out Of them"
Hilarity ls not always Synonymous with happi-
nesa and the Wise Man tells of laughter which
is no better than the cracking of thorns under
pot but still it is pity to zee the increasing
cares that come with increasing proaperty-the
fever of ''getting on which Possesses modern
life-qute swamp the natural desire for mere
amusement and fun. There is neither use MOI
good in making so entirely serious business

THE RING LEADER OF NEGRO MOB KILLED, AND
COLLISION BETWEEN THE RACES IMMINENT.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. Z.
There has bsen great disturbance in Shep-
lerdsyille, Bullett county. growing out Of the
late election.
On Wednesday Frenchman was pursued by a
drunken negro mob, and he shot and killed the
nng leader. He took refuge in hotel which
the negroes surrounded and demanded his sur
render.
The negroes finally retired, but the white
from the surrounding country have collected in
the town and collision is still imminent.
