November 18th, 1874. !
The market rules very quiet all round,
without material changesiin values. The
demand lie very small for hay, partly ow-
ing. we think, to the fact that the Missis-
sippi Central railroad, on account OF ina-
biity to make the landing with the trans
fer on tho Kentucky shore, hsI refused TO
receive freight for few days at this
point. and buyers are unable to make ship
ments. There is some inquiry for corn Of
all kinds, but there is none in market and
none coming. Oats are In fair supply and
dull, bu. prices hold firm. The demand
for eggs continues active at quotations
Poultry is no. wanted At any price. Their,

Noyes of the same State, followed Mr..
Sherman the same evening in an address,
in which he was quite, il not more unfortu-
nate in defining the questions Of the day.
To his mind they are ''the management of
'the finances Of the day; cheap transporta-
'tion in the interest of both producer and
consumer; the thorough pacifcation and
development ofthe prosperity Of the South;
'the civil rights of the colorcd people, and
'the promotion of such moral reforms as are
necessary for the public good" If Gov.
Noyes were to endeavor, for a couple OF
years, to find more vague and meaningless
phrase than 'Ghe promotion of such moral re-
forms as are necessary for the public good, "
we do not believe he would be able 10 find it.
Mr.. Shcrman's propositions contain too
little; those of Mr.. Noyes contain hardly
anything at all.
As we have again and again said, the
Republican party sought to take hold OF
some vital, progressive questions in which
the whole country is interested. There is
the transportation question. Mr.. Sherman
declares the party has not yet been able to
agree upon a policy in reference to it If
it has not, it is because of the cowardice OF
its leaders. The farmers, who are burning
their grain in the West for fuel, and the
laborers, who are almost on the verge Of
starvation in the East, because they cannot
get what is almost worthless in the West
will soon make party, if one Of the two
now in existence does not endeavor to
right the wrongs under which they are SUI
fering Again, there is the question of the
restoration of our commerce. Will the
Republican party ever do anything toward
that end? Then, there is our foreign
policy. We have, to be sure, the almost
mythical Monroe doctrine, which has &C
quired all the force of an unwritten article
of the Constitution; but it cannot be called
a policy. These are few Of the questions
to which, in our opinion, the Republican
party should turn its attention. Temper
ance and tinkering of the tariff are well
enough in their way, but they can never
build up a great party, or hold a great
party together.

D The Iowa Republican committee published
challenge for 8 Joint discussion between the Hon.
John A. Kasson and ]. d. Whitman. The anti
monopoly committee declines the challenge,
stating that 1t comedies Mr.. Kassons ability on

tics, and that 1t might as we'll challenge joint
contest on the farm or at the workbench wherein
Mr. whitman enjoys advantages which Mr..
Kssson does not possess.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: 1.-THE platform
adopted by the Republican State Convention at
Columbus is o straightforward declaration OF
practical principles. The Republican party is
the only party that has any record Of the past
that It is not ashamed of; or which has Eny hon
est principles and measures for the Fu.Tre; or
which dare lay down its principles in plain and
unequIvoeal language. To compare this with the

platform Is to compare bold honesty and manli-
ness with sneaking roguery."

the committee. and did not receive an OPP
posing vote in the Senate, and he has no
doubt that it passed the House under like
circumstances. They did not dream then
and do rot believe now, that the act IS
properly applicable to the statutory crime
OF libel, or that an editor can be brought to
this city to answer for libel published else
where. 1t is only a few members of the
press who, feeling guilty in their wicked
imagination, feel the 'thalter draw" with
an ill-opinion of this law. They have used
it effectively for the defeat of Judge Poland,
its reputed author, this time. But there is
to be another trial, and we have no doubt
that at the next election he will be trl-
umphantly chosen as the result Of the sec
ond sober thought of the people Of his
district .a.. ....- ....... ....
The act of Congress referred to, the pro-
visions of which have been extended to
the Criminal Court of the District of Co
lumbia, provides that "where one is &C.
"cused offs offence or crime against the
Omitted States he may be arrested where,
lever he is found, and brought back
'to the District or State in which the Of
''fence was committed to be tried" This
provision of the law of 179S applies to all
United States Courts in all the States, but
never before had been made applicable to
the District of Columbia. 1t was highly
proper that it should have been so
amended. For, as stated by Senator Ere
linghuysen. a man guilty of counterfeiting
in the District of Columbia, and escaping
therefrom, should properly be returned
there for trial We do not believe
that the constituency Of Judge Poland
have thoughtfully condemned him for
the performance of an official act
so proper as this seems to have been. 1t is
gratifying to know that plurality does not
elect, and that therefore they have it still
in their power to rectify an error which
they had welinigh fallen into in such
manner as will be fully understood al ~""T
