A SPECTATOR.
A CA ls I'D.

Numerous complaints with regard to tho
rost Office under my control, having come
10 my ears, it is duo to the public and to
myself that IN explanation be made.
On account Of bad health, which disabled
me, and on account of the loss of the yulu-
able services Of Mr.. j. S. Bull who's system
and ability, ensured my respect and con-
ftdence in the entire management of tb,
Office, was obliged to obtain n
Deputy familiar with the routine Of
business, and securing Mr.. Ezekiel, removed
the office to his store, that he Nigh, give
the more undivided attention to it.
Had Mr. Bull not received better offer
than | could afford to mako would still,
have had his valued help. And had he
remained with me | would not have re-
moved the office. Had my own health cen
better, might have seen less occasion I q
move the Office

not much would be said. This was u
reply to question asked me about it
by some one. 1t so turned out, as usu
al in manner to show unfair feelings.
But Of me they expect nothing" Of
course not. I have fully proved to them
before now that [ could not drink in
that unrelenting bitterness which they
are too ready to manifest against those
who incur their dispIcasurc. 1 see now
that they arc beginning to critic,sc and
censure tho Conservatives in some par
ticulars."

TNion.
AS this is likely to be the case it is
the duty Of the Republican party to be
gin now to prepare for the contest. Our
house should be put in thorough order,
our armor FURNISHED up, and our eyes
set firmly upon victory for our State
and National organizations.
1t will not DO for this country to be
turned over to the Democracy. The
mission Of the Republican party has not
yet been fulfilled, aud we are quite sure
that it never would be were the Demo
Gratis to attain to power just now. The
colored man needs to be better educated
and made stronger in his power to pro
tect the rights Of his race, before turn
ing over this government to his enemies
Once this is accomplished it will no, :
matter so much whether there be auy
party at all or not. The colored peopl lie
will then have become sufficiently euligh
tened to take care Of themselves. But
now it behooves them to stanl firmly
by the principles Of their party, and see
to 1t that its banner shall not be trailed
in the dust in consequence of lcthargy
on their part. Party lines should be
strictly drawn and none but faithful
Republicans be put on guard. Traitors
should be driven from. our ranks, and
thus purified wo should continue stoad
last In our devotion to the party. We
should consider it crime in memb.r
to desert its organization upon any ab
stract question or in allowing hims IF O
become indifferent in consequence Of
the disappointment Of some petty ambi
ton. In this State we have every reason
Tor supporting the Republican party.
1t has been shown by Gov. Chamberlain
that Republicanism is not inconsistent
with good Government, and that oil
tho people prosper alike where the laws
are properly administered. We do not
believe the latter would be the case nm
dera Democratic administration. Cover
nor Chamberlain has brought quiet out
of confusion and has done much towards
restoring the credit of tho State, which
had been completely destroyed by his
lrofig,o aud corrupt prcdcces. or !.
Hence we have much good to hope Tor in

The public, including myself, had
been led by paper an ruuor accounts,

stealing of public m3n.ys. would have
been Charged AMI pfoven This was
not done. Now, uptn this kinl %

them appended sohution to their rc
port, to rxpel Andrews from his seat
In view of the san nte showing, two Of
them appended to thd report Il resolu

passed on him. Now, for what No
charge of stealege, no evidence to prove
crime There was evidence in An

pay certificates and the like Unfortuu

worthy citizens, merchants, &C., have
dealt in these tradeatle papers to their

was elaborately discussed. The main

two of these were emi1 ens Democratic
lawyers; in favor Of e.rpcfiing there were
y votes, three OF these are Democrats
the remainder, 8 are Republicans, two
were absent. 1t would have taken %
votes to have expelled. We were
expecting to vote on the resolut to
ccnsuvc the Senator. On this point
there was considerable debate whether
to cc"surc Was equivalent to expul
sion or not A few Senators thought it

and closed by saying, "if | err in this
yotc prefer to err on the side of mercy
aud justice, rather than soil my con
science in aiding to fix infany on man
and his family ON unsatisfactory
grounds" In the confusion of the de
bate, this resolution was Withdrawn, an d
the Senate adjourned, and so no direct
vote was taken.

Secretary said to-day that when he left Mlch'.

being invited to a seat in the Cabinet Than OF
going to Heaven English like" IN CHARIOT OF

home the latter part of the week to arrange his

There is fair demand for Wool and prices are
quite steady and firm. The stock on hand is small
1or the season. but with the exception of combng and
siderable fine Wool is still held in the interior Man
ufactured goods have been selling more freely but at
very low prices, and while manufacturers are dis
posed to purchase material more freely any
advance in prices would have a tendency to put a
stop to business Manufacturers, in fact, al pur-
CHASING cautiously, and holders of Wool are indier-
ent about selling except to most responsible buyers
on account OF the recent unexpected failures among
manufacturers. $3.50
In New York during the week there has been a
lack Of animation, but disposition is shown on The
part OF holders to recede from their present asking
rates. The supply of fine Wool is greatly reduced
and the scarcity is felt, as the demand is now al
most wholly for that description.
In Philadelphia there has been decidedly firmer
Ieenng IN medium grades since our last notice, and
rather more disposition on the part of the manufac-
urers 10 purchase but the continued low and unre-
munerative prices realized for some DESCRIPTIONS of
manufactured goods tend to restrict Operations.
Stocks are relatively light, When compared with this

fallen of. Unwashed and combing Woods Command
