A Guilty Minister'S Confession

Rev. DR.. r. Fisk, Jr., the Universal

come to light, makes no attempt to de.
ny or palliate his guilt, but writes this
frank and manly confession:

State Of the Wheat Market.

.
The features of onr wheat market
the past week have presented pleas
ing contrast to those of the preceding
week. The more favorable advIces
from Europe adverted to at the close
of our last review and still later ad-
vices thence of similar character,
have given quite an impulse to the
market, stimulating the export de-
mand very materially, and but for the
scarcity of tonnage. a much larger bus
mess would have resulted. The de-
mand has been chiefly confined to No.
2 spring, and has been mainly to fill
English orders. The Continental
orders generally cannot be filled, as
there is no steamer room here. The
latest advices from France, Germany
and Italy are rather important prices
continue to advance, which is contrary
to the general expectation, and this to
us is conclusive proof that they have
no considerable surplus for export
Their stocks of old were exhausted
ere the beginning of September, and
with very short crops of coarse grains
and vegetables, the consumption OF
wheat has been unusually large, and a
much larger quantity than usual has
been fed to cattle, and the same is true
of Great Britain. The stocks of grain
at Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool, Lon
don. etc., etc., are light, and prices
much below those current last year;
hence the consumption has proved
very large indeed, absorbing their ex.
cessive imports rapidly; hence instead
of large supplies we fad them quite

THE views of Horace Maynard are
probably reflected in the following ex-
tract from the Knoxville Chronicle:
1t is a singular fact connected with
the discussion OF the financial ques-
ton, that the very men who are expect
ed to agree and give to Congress
wholesome advice upon this important
subject, totally disagree. OF some
forty prominent bankers, business
men, fnanciers, and political econo-
mists before Mr.. Maynard's Banking
and Currency Committee, no two
could agree as to the advice to offer
They spent their time in exposing the
fallacy of each others policy. and
wrangled worse than doctors of law or
medicine. In their eases, it was evil
dent that but few of them deduced
their theories from any process of
reasoning, but that they were in
fuenced in their opinions by their
personal interests. When such men
cannot agree. it is not remarkable that
Congress cannot.

Christmas with his niece, and seemed

his eye as clear, his voice as firm, his
step as elastic as it had been for many
years. He had made an arrangement
to meet Mr. Charles O'Conor on Sat

and said to Mrs. Smith that he had

he had not spent so merry a Christ

before. While dressing, his utterance
suddenly became indistinct, and he
was gently borne TO bed. hardly able

1t was found that his mind was now
wandering and he suddenly lost con-
seriousness. The attack under which
he gradually sank was pronounced by
the attending physician to be of an
apopletic character. He remained at
late hour last night in acomatose con-
dition, having been conscious only for
ten or fifteen minutes since the attack.

THE statue of Stonewall jackson,
excented by the late Mr.. Foley, the
well known English sculptor, for the
city of Charleston, S. c., is now nearly
completed at the Manor foundry at
Chelsea, near London. The general
is represented as standing with a
drawn broadsword in the right hand.
The hand rests on the sword hilt, and
the point of the weapon is placed upon
a piece of rock at the side of the
figure. He wears a horseman's short
tunic, grit by broad belt, and but
toned close on the chest, and loose
trowsers with riding boots. The de-
feet of the work, says the Athenaum,
is in the face, which lacks vivacity,
and even poetic suggestiveness.

GOLDEN words from the St. Louis
Democrat" There ought to be a
limit upon the power Of majority of
the voters to burden all the lands and
resources of country or city for gen.
erations to come. We can see no
other limitation which would be as
likely to secure caution in voting and
economy in the use of public money as
to require that those who want any
Improvement shall pay for it. Perhaps
We should not get forward quite as
rapidly; but there would then be no
step backward"

: How the Spell Was Broken.

The Ku-klux outrages in Kentucky
and Tennessee last summer were God
sends to Radicalism, but Gov. Leslie,
of Kentucky, and Brown, of Tennes-
see, both honest, patriotic and able
men, by promptly performing their du-
ty in suppressing the disorders, took
all the wind out of the Radical sails
obtained from this source. It was left,
however, for Lieut.. Gov. Penn, of Lou
isiana, to finish up the work so effec-
tually began by Leslie and Brown. He
seized the opportunity, and wiped out
the kellogg usurpation, and when
Grant, in violation Of the Constitution,
sent the army to re-instate Kellogg,
Penn said, Il submit. | have neither
the power nor the inclination to fight
the United States" This act of Penn 1
did more to open the eyes of the hon.
est Northern Republicans than any,
thing else.
Said they, ''the Southern people
have been slandered; they are not
traitors or they would have precipitat-
ed the country into another rebellion y
This thought went through the pub
lie mind of the North like electricity
was conclusive, and the spell of Radi-
calism was broken. ''Traitor" was
their only stock in trade, and in a mo-
ment they we're bankrupts. t.fs
We are not surprised that Dawes and
other Radical leaders should try t.
impress the public mind with the ides
that it was the currency question thai
produced such destructive political
tornado on the Sd of November. "StoI

HarPer's Weekly and the Louis
lana Outrage.

Harpers Weekly, above all Other
Journals, has been noted for It's blind sup
port of Grantism under all its forms
until the Louisiana affair. 1t is now IN.
qualified in its condemnation, and pre-.
diets the destruction of the Radical party
If Its managers assume the responsibility
of the Grant-Sheridan outrage. The fol
lowing extract is taken from its leader Of
January 31st:
As mere party tactics the first thing to
do was TO assume the truth and declare
1t, and that was the party condemnation
OF all unconstitutional and hasty action in
Louisiana, whether taken by a Republi-
eau local Executive or not, and whether
with the approval of the National Ad-
mInlstration or not. And now that
enough facts are known, Congress ought
to understand that there is one sure wav
of splitting the party" and that is by a
Gmid, hesItatlng, paralytic policy. Mr..
Schurz said nothing better in his speecb
than that he hoped the Republicans would
not attempt any strained or doubtful IN
depreciation of the law in defense of the
New Orleans action. The vital interest
of the party, the avoidance of "partv
split requires that the proceeding of the
Executive of Louisiana, so far as It has
no clear and simple and unquestionable
sanction In the Constitution, and whether
the President and Cabinet sanction it or
not, shall be as forcibly condemned bv
Congress as it is By Republicans through
'ut the country.
