The Republican party repudiates
the Just debt of the Union soldier by
paving him for his services in depre'
ciated paper currency, while at the
same time it pays the bond-holder
who never fought 4 battle, the inter,
est upon his government bonds in
gold. Is such a party the friend o.
the people or the Union? The Dem,
ocratic party say one currency for ali
classes alike. The money for the
poor should be as good as that for the
rich.

DRY GOODS-There is scarcely
anything doing in this market beyond
| a filing OF a few small orders for
staple cotton and woolen fabrics. In
the Northern markets while there is
evidently an effort 90 talk the market
strong, and the manufacturers have IN
some instances put prices of cotton
goods up, it is very doubtful whether
they can sustain an advance, aud there
have been further adjustments of
prices to iower basis on some bleached
shirtings. The capacity for produc-
tlon OF most cotton fabrics is SO much
IN excess of the consumptive wants Of
the country, that there is little ground
for expecting prices to be sustained al

II Will he remembered that during
the progress of the Convention the
ballots Of both the Chancellor Of the
Diocese an, the Chancellor OF the
Cathedral were challenged The Chair
owe ruled the challenge, and the votes
were allowed to be cast, though the
opposition thereto was very decided.
O" the following d., M. Melville w.
; .. II and others opposed to DIR, 40
ven's election attempted to mend the
records, so they might show that these
ballots had been challenged, but they
we're again defeated. If the minutes
OF the proceedings had shown this, the
opposition would not be obliged to
otherwise verify the fact. But it
tasilv admits of proof, and they will
act upon it notwithstanding the re-
cords contain no hint of it.
According to the best legal interpre-
ters Of the Church law neither of these
officials had right to vote. The can
ons say that the Chancellor OF the
Diocese Is entitled to u seat ID the
Convention, but do not endow hin
with Church franchise. The Chancel-
lor of the Cathedral may. with two or
three of the laity. and with the certifi-
cate of the acting Bishop, cast one
vote. The Chancellor of the Cathedral
in the present case acted entirely in
dependent of both laymen and eertiti-
Gates, aud hence, it is claimed, voted
illegally. Both of these officials, it is
said. voted for DR. De Koven. As the
majority he received was but one, his
election would be annuled if the He
