CoMBINGS IN DEMAND.

The demand is largely for combings,
which are selling all the way from 80 to
59c, the latter full quotation. The
stock here is hardly up to the aggregate Of
a year ago, nor will there be as much
upon the market. Most of the largest
mills have bought direct IN Kentucky
and Canada suilicnt to cover their neces-
sitics for the current year. The decline
in the gold premium is rather more ia
vorable to Canadian markets, which are
now likely to be cleaned up and Otford a
margin of profit at 9Sc, If gold shrink5 to
III, to which value many think it will
yet recedc.
The sales of California continue large
nearly onc-tbird of the aggregate. Prices
have softencd down n little with the turn
in tht Gold market, and at the close one
or two dealers were soliciting offers in
round lots, willing TO concede &c less
than was quoted ten days ago
FLEECE wooLs.
In Western feeces the inquiry is fair,
with dealers reporting sales of Michigan
Mt 81, 81 and Acc. The inquiry is chiefly
for No. /, which is worth as much on the
market as extra For this the manufac-
turcrs pay iGc for small lots, and this
would seem to pay good margin on
these wools A small business is doing
in new Ohios at I6 TO 4Sc for No. and
cxta. but fine woods are wholly neglected
The market is well supplied with such
classes of woods, which are exceedingly
anxious for business. A lot of old pick
lock which two months ago was refused
to be parted with at G0c, has this week
changed hands at sac cash.
The dealers have begun to pick up q
little Wool in the West prices since the
lst of July, especially in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, having cased off consider.

almost wholly on consignment, and are

jerome Markell has been arrested here
on suspicion Of having, with accomplices,
committed the most extensive robbery
that has ever occurred. Their property

n total value of about $4,000, which was
owned by Mrs. Catherine Meyer, The

Markell, and were shown by him where
the valuables were buried. All were re-
covered; except one watch and some
minor articles of jewelry. Markell, in
default OF bail, was committed for trial.
1t is thought he will implicate others in
the robbery

come the organ of an individual, ring,
clique or corporation. How well 1t
sticks to its text-how closely it ad-
heres to the compact of the stockhoid-
ers-its readers are well able to decide.
We pass over the evidence furnished
by itself that 1t is the organ of a party OF
land spectators. But we cannot pass
in silence its unwarranted and unjust
attacks on Mr.. p. D. WIGGINGToN,
Democratic Candidate for Congress
from this district. If anything could
be urged against Mr.. WIdGINGTeN's
record, II he was incompetent, ii he
was wanting in integrity or ability,
and the Express commented on his
shortcomings, we should not say a
word in response. But nothing OF
this kind can be urged against him,
and this high toned independent jour-
nal, that is always bemoaning the
coarseness of its cotemporaries, after
admitting that it does not know Mr..
UNCONSCIOUS name, proceeds to rid
icule it. This is simply despicable,
and we regret that SO worthy gentle
man should be made the subject of at

pen to be SO euphonious as LYNCH OF
JONES or AYERS. P. d. WIGGINGroN

Political Bitterness.

The campaign opens bitter, sharp
and decisive. The leading speakers
are handling each other without gloves
and the record of the three candidates
for Governor is distorted and twisted
to conform to the views Of those who
wish them to appear bad or good. So
tar the elimination and recrimination
business has been mainly confined to
The contending forces of the Republi-
cans and Independents. 1t isa fami-
ly quarrel and they say such quarrels
are the most acrimonious and vindic-
tive of all quarrels. If PHELPS is one
half as bad a man as the Independent
speakers makes him, he is unfit for the
position Of town beadle, much less
that Of Governor of a State. II BID
WELL is the narrow-minded question
ably honest old gentleman that Cor
HAM and others would have their
hearers believe, he is better fitted for
an overseer in his satanic majesty's
domain than to sit in the Gubernato-
rial chair of the State Of California.
VIM. IRWIN, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor comes in for large
share Of Misrepresentation and abuse
from the Bulletin, but from the stump
he refutes everything and stands well
wherever he goes. The campaign is
opening little too hot. This whole
sale dealing in personalities by candi-
dates is to be regretted. 1t is true
that the public record Of public men
is public property, and their official
acts are legitimate subjects for COM
ment and discussion, but there is no
necessity for preferring unfounded
charges and the bandying ofcoarse ep-
ithets. Tone down little, gentlemen.
You are not advancing your own
chances nor diminishing those of your
opponents by resorting to bitter in
vective and vehement denunciations.
Let us have more argument and de-
bate and less attack and malignment.
