Bos.on Hide and Leather Market.

fruay, July 81.
There has been rather more inquiry for leather
the past week, and better feeling is manifested
among the trade. Prices are not entirely sats-
factory, and the margin for profit is very small
one.
Hcmlock sole cor tinues firm, and the best lea Ii.
er is readily token at full prices.
Cropped is meeting with more liberal sales and
demand increasing.
The supply of rough leather is large and the mar.
ket dull at prices lower than peryaied earlier i'll
the month.
Rough calf skins sell at 52lac for Western and -
for f. tannages.
Finished skins remain dull
Finished wax and kipare in fair demand but
prices are hardly SO firm.
Prices range from 1892 for common to good
leather and some choice leather has sold at 2Tc,
bnt the demand for those fine grades is very limit
ed.
Hides are in moderate request at quotations.

Raphael Semmes and others whose disa-
bilities were removed upon their application
for pardon are up for Office as democratic can

Col A. II. Holt of Illinois has been appoint.

rule.
The Sheriff of Vicksburg has solemn sense
of his responsibility. In view of the next
election day, he has appointed "thirty good
and lawful men" to be his special deputies. in
order (to use his own language) that our com

RECIPROCITY AND THE COASTING
TRADE

The ninth article of the proposed Trca-
ty of Reciprocity reads thus
"Article 1X--For the term of years
mentioned in Article XIII of this treaty
(21 years) vessels of all kinds built in the
United States may be purchased by inhab-
itants of Canada, subjects of Great Britain,
and registered in Canada as Canadian
vessels; and reciprocally, vessels of all
kinds built in Canada may be purchased
by citizens of the United States as United
States vessels
OF course all vessels that could be
built cheaper in the Provinces than
in the United States would be built
there and brought here for registry
i writer in the St. John Telegraph
has already boasted that this article Of
the treaty "will virtually transfer the ship
wards of Bath and Boston to St. John and
Dorchester The effect would undoubt-
edly be to surrender our coasting trade to
Canadian vessels In view of these facts
it is not surprising that the ship-bui!derS
of Maine shonld be much excited over
the question-but the most surprising
feature of all is that Democratic papers,
like the Portland Argus, should approve
policy SO at war with the interests OF
its State. .-Boston Journal.

EFFECT OF THE NEW LOAN.

The feeling at the favorable completion
OF the new loan is one of general and
deep satisfaction. In quarters the best
informed in relation to financial matters,
1t is viewed with the greatest pleasure,
both because it reduces the interest ac-
count very largely, and at the same time
improves our credit. The Providence
Journal says: THE effect of the funding
of the six per cent. bonds, at five per
cent, even if it should not include the en-
tire @179, 100000, but be limited to
$55, ,0O0, 900. will be to reduce the govern
ment interest account, and to uplift the
credit of the United States abroad. When
the Rothschilds are ready to take such an
amount at such rate of interest, it will
be undoubted by the bankers and capital
lists Of Europe that the national bonds are
a safe investment; this conceded, with
the present condition of the money market
abroad, and the unsettled state of political
affairs there, it will be inevitable that all
our bonds, not tainted by suspicion on ac-
count of known or alleged fraud, will be
held in higher esteem
Without some extraordinary and unex-
pected change, this loan at five per cent
means renewed ease in money matters at
home, increased confidence abroad and
the ability to obtain all the money at a
cheap rate, which it can be shown can be
usefully employed in business, or the de-
velopment OF our resources. The Secre.
tary Of the Treasury, us the country, is to
be congratulated upon this success, a sue
cess which import ant as it is in saving in
terest, is of still greater consequence in
the mode in which it has been effected
and the strength it gives us in the money
markets of the world. Now what is need
ed for the nation is economy. strict con-
struction in regard to appropriations, and
desire to pay the public debt tempered
by wise consideration of the value of
money to new country, and OF the ne
cessities Of business public sanguine
and of late accustomed to a redundant
currency. To get back to specie pay
ment, and to required amount of curren-
cy, should be the constant and dirreversible
aim; but at sensible and not sensation
al pace"

AUGUST ELECTIONS.

Several elections take place this month
but the only one of Importance is thai
which is to take place in North Carolina
Tennessee elects county officers, but the
election of governor and legislature does
not take place until November. In Ken
tucky the only official to be chosen on the
general ticket in August is the clerk of the
supreme court.
The North Carolina election will take
place next Thursday, the 9th inst. There
is to be elected superintendent of public
instruction, the legislature for two years,
eight members of Congress, and six of the
twelve circuit judges. The recent death
of Gov. Caldwell will not render an cleo
ton of governor necessary, as the lieuten-
tenant governor, Hon. Curtis Ii. Bragdon,
has succeeded to the office, and will hold
1t until the end Of the constitutional term,
In January, 1877. The election this year
is to be contested, as usual, by the repub-
licans and democrats. Messrs. Cobb,
Waddell, Ashe, Robbins and Vance are
members of the present House, and the
States delegation now consists of three
republicans and five democrats, the for
mer being from the 1st. I'd and 4th dis
tricts. The republican nominee in the
I'd district is colored man, and he has
two self-announced colored opponents. In
the Eth district FL Constantine David
son is announced as a granger candidate.
In the 9Th district, Mr.. Durham, who has
been member Of Congress. is an inde-
pendent candidate, and it is believed,
will generally be supported by the repub-
licans. At the last election in North Car
olina, which was for President. in 1872,
Grant had 81 1892 votes, and Greeley
57.479. In August of the same year,
Caldwell, republican, tor governor, had
$3.50, and Merrimon, democrat. 96,73l.

LETTER FROM MARION.
Effects Of the Democratic Victory
Miscellaneous Items.

PALATINE, MARION, Go.
Editors of the Register.
All is mild and lovely and the goose
hangs high. Our election is over which
resulted in Il great Democratic victory.
Also, the election resulted in change
in the road law of Marion county, from
the six day system to the payment of
81 so from each taxable person, then
equal taxation does the balance of the
work. This is certainly victory for
poor laboring men. 1t don't look well
for stout, hearty man who is loaded
down with gold watches and
greenbackS, to mount his fine
horse and travel over large scope of
this country for no other purpose than
to sponge living for himself and horse
off of his friends and relations. Such
characters should take hint and make
some recompcnse for the past, for fear
the public might get six or dozen of the
first letters of his name.
Farmers are generally done sowing
their wheat, of which large crops have
been put in the ground.
Corn has proved to be an average crop,
worth from 90 to 65 cents per bushel.
Apples are scarce.
The weather has been warm and
pleasant for some time but there has
been but little rain during this month,
consequently great many springs and
rillS are almost dry. Grass is and has
been short for for some time. Stock Is
held at pretty good figures, notwithstand-
ing money is scarce. Hogs are high and
very scarce.
Grange societies are being extensively
organized throughout this county. Their
is certainly room for doing good in the
way Of their profession.
Court is in session at Fairmont. The
grand jury has found indictments against
several persons for fighting, Sc.
4 protracted meeting of the VI. +.
Church ut Shinston, Harrison county,
was in progress but short time since,
and during the meeting some outlaws
awaited themselves of doing all the mis-
chief they could by cutting brides, sad
dies, harness, etc, into pieces. The
pieces were strung for miles in all dircc-
tions. We learn that one ladies saddle
was thrown into the river. No arrests
have vet been made. Yours,

STATE OF TRADE IN NEW YORK.
The New York Times Of Saturday al
ludes To the rumors OF failures which
had been SO mischievously circulated the
day before. 1t says: go.
%There were some discouraging inch
dents IN commercial affairs yesterday,
but it is to be hoped that no one will be
foolish enough TO exaggerste their mi
portanCe. We are passing through
period of the year which is always very
irving. and considering all the crcun-
stances, the state of trade must be regard
ed as singularly healthy. Everybody we
believe, anticipated that we should Sutier
far more than we are now deing'
Meet of our large retail houses testify
that they are doing very fair average
business, some very far above tbs average;
and this is n great thing To say OF sneh .
season as the present. The failures
which have happened here and there are
the relics of last years panic; no new
cause has produced them. We sincerely
hone that even the houses which have
been thus struck will eventually recover,
and it is quite clear that there is not the
slightest necessity for alarm or gloomy
forebodings in any other quarter.
