The market this morning opened dull
and heavy, with prices nominal and ir-
regular. The decline in New York spots
and futures and the weakness in Liver
pool spots and arrivals had q tendency
to depress this market; in fact, the bot
tom has fallen out Of it. In New York
middlings are lower than at any time
since the war, while futures have de-
clined to so low a figure as to make pur-
chasers and shorters sick.

HON. CHARLES FOSTER RENOJE
TNATED

The Congressional Convention foI
this District, as will be seen 10y proceed
ings elsewhere, has again re-nomina-
ted the Hon Charles Foster, 10y accla-
nation. for Congress. There is that
preuiinrity aiteiiti'us tii, repeated nom
mat ions, uf which few men can boast
| always been noiniua;rG by acclama-
| ton. At the iirs: the District was
| Democratic, having at the previous
election chosen f. T. Dickinson, of
Fremont, as its representative, and
when the Republicans met in Conven
ton at MonroeviIie, 10y common consent
they fixed upon Mr. F. as their repre-
sentative, and 10y the same common
consent nominated him by acclama
ton. Two years later, al effort was
made to organize an opposition TO him,
but before the Convention assembled
the opposition was Withdrawn and lie
was again nominated 10y acclanation
His sccoiId term WAS even more salts
factory than tie first. and two years
ago he was again chosen Us at the first
Since then his career has not been as
satisfactory to Iiany of his coEstiiUri...,
as they could have desired. YET r,.s;;ld
ing him rs cminentiy suited for ti,e po-
sitiou, aud the strongest candidate
that could be presented to the district,
all opposition was waived and he has
again been declared the nominee by
acclamation. As we said before, if is
an honor of which few can boast, ard
of which the candidate may well feel
proud.
The nomination has been made, and
now it becomes every Republican in the
District to grid on his arInor and get
ready for the fight. Do not deceive
yourselves with the belief that you can
easily win the victory. The reliable
soldier is he who foresees the danger
and prepares to tet it. Do not delay
your organization, but know your
strength and improve it. The enemy
is on the alert. He is vigorous, active,
confident and determined. Do not
misealculate his strength or over esti.
mate your own. Every inch of the
ground will be contested, and every
stratagem will be resOrted TO to com
pass your defeat. Only vigilance,
prompt organization, unity aud har-
mosy will insure triumph, and to
this the candidate is entitled, at the
hands of the organization which has for
the fourth time demanded him as its
candidate. See to it that your prompt
organization is not neglected.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
He Recommends Either an Increase of the Army
ora Call for Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE follow
ing message was sent by the President
to Congress to day:
To the Senate and House of Represent
atives:
| transmit herewith a telegram of
the 9Th of August from Lieutenant
General Sheridan to General Sherman,
Il letter of the 11th of the present
month from General Sherman to the
Secretary of War, and a letter frcm
the latter of the same date to me, all
setting forth the possible needs of the
army in consequence of the existing
hostiIities. | would strongly urge up
Oh Congress the necessity for making
some provisions for a contingency
which may arise during the vacation,
for more troops in the Indian country
than it is now possible to send. 1t
would seem to he to lie much more
economical and better to authorize an
increase OF the present cavalry force
by 2, 500 privates, but if this is not
deemed advisable, then that the Presi-
dent be authorized to call out not ex
ceeding five regiments 900 strong
eacl) OF volunteers, to serve for a
period not exceeding six months.
Should this latter authority be given
would not order out any volunteers
unless, in my opinion, based upon re-
ports from the scene of war, deemed
it absolutely necessary, and then only
the smallest number considered sufii-
Gent to meet the emergency.
Signed L. s. GRANT.
