THE statement that Hambl 9ton,
Clerk of the most important COM
mittee of the Democratic House OF
Representatives had named his boy
J. Wilkes Booth, has been denied by
the mourncrs for Wilkes Booth and
Jeff Davis. 1t turns out that the
statement is tact, and Morrison,
chairman of the committee compelled
him TO resign The Democratic
paper at Warrington urged the re-
moval because "his retention would
lose the Democratic party 500, 600
votes" Hence it il proper to infer
that if the Democrat were 10 fu!l
power Hambleton would be prince
among them. When that day comes
even Morrison, being Northern man
and an ex soldier, though Demo-
crat, will find himself regarded as
beneath respect. This Hambl9ton IS
the fellow who before the war made a
list OF n, Y. Wholesale merchants
who were Republicans and, SEPT

the latter not to trade with the for
mer, which was very kind of him,

repudiated their debts in New York

Ii Is ssid that corn loses one-ffth
By drying, aud wheat one-tourteenth.
From this the estimate is made that
it is more profitable for the farmers
10 sell uasheled corn ia the fall at
10 cents than al 81 bushel in the
following summer; and that wheat
at Sl25 in December is equal to $3.50
in the succeeding June. In the case
of Notwithstanding those that rot
and are otherwise lost-together

doubt that between October and
June the loss to the owner who holds
them is not less than SO per cent.

What They will Do when They can

The Cincinnati Commercial, which
was Greeley paper, has this to say +:
Why the republicans want to insure
their continuance in power is 10 win
the public assurance that there IS to
be an end to Granlism without the re
storation of confederate Bourbonlsm
As for HILLS speech, il is milk and
water compared with the "pinetop"
that would be poured upon the
country by the confederate brigaders
if they were not restrained by the
consideration :hat they have as the
case stands, . chance of winning, in
the presidential campaign. Give the
confederate democracy the national
government, and Hills speech would
be laughed at for its humilating mod
Grafton toward the conquering Sec
ton in the war. The people might as
well face these things now as at any
tune.

Fred Moore, the Washington cor

follows:
A dozen OF more different news
paper dispatches have been sent from
here with the ringing head to them,
"Blane Of Maine and Cameron OF
Wisconsin" Most of the dispatches
christen it as a Matt Carpenter move
ment, to seat Angus Cameron in the
Vice-President's chair, and make q
Senatorial vacancy in Wisconsin. So
much is true. The Cameron move
ment has made some Roadway among
the newspaper reporters, who killed
Schuyler Colfax foIr years ago, and
the active men from the Northwest,
but Of course the Ex-senator is limo
cent of any completely in the case,
one way or the other. And tn
strange part Of the movement is, that
active Liberals are developing a
wonderful affection for Mr. Cameron.

said "they like him, ard half claim

ness than they did Horace Greeley

A great deal OF sympathy is ex.
pressed by "Steel Rail" and others,
for the poor, deludcd Holanders and
others who were induced, before the
days of Potter laws, to purchase at
G5 and 10 cents on the dollar the first
mortgage bonds of these corporations,
and it may be interesting for them to
know how the sufferers by the Potter
law are getting along, and how soon
they are likely to become objects Of
charity, and at the same time utter
words of comfort and consolation to
those whose estate pride" is so sen

Iowa and Illinois, aud the bonds Of
their company secured by liens on
their road in Wisconsin, are in better
request, and bring higher prices. than
those on their roads in the other
States. In fact but few securities are
offered in the New York market that
command as high a price as the bonds
of both those corporations. They
bring better prices and are in more
active demand than they were before
the enactment Of the Potter law.
