the issue Of silver coin, and to make

During the discussion, Mr.. Bogy, Of
Missouri, member of the silver COM
mission said that the report of that
commission, had been completed and
would have been submitted to the
Senate had there not been difficulty
In having it printed. He hoped 1t
would be printed and submitted to the
Senate in few days.
After discussion, MIR. Logan moved
to make the bill the special order for
Monday next, at one O'clock p. m.

eventually compel Europe to interfere.
1t is said that General Ignatiefi, who
has arrived at ST. Petersburg and con-
ferred with the car and Prince Gorts-
chakoff, supports this view. The idea
amongst the peace party seems to be
that the powers, in answering the
Russian circular, might enable Russia
to withdraw and await the result of
Turkish efforts at reform, by publicly
recognizing the sacrifices which she
has made in behalf of the Eastern
Christians.

Political Events.

The prospect of a peaceful solution of
the difficulties in Louisiana Is improv-
ing. Both branches of the Nichols
Legislature have considered in caucus
the plan submitted by the commission
for the organization of a Legislature
upon the basis of the returns of the
election as made out by the Parish
Com missiuners, and have agreed TO
adopt if. This will give the Democrats
a no ljority, and there will, of course, be
a recanvass of the votes cast for Cover
nor, through which Nichols right to
hold the office will be confirmed.
Wade Hampton has made demand
upon the Republican State officers who
were elected upon the face of the re-
turns) for the books and records which
appertain to their respective offices.
The title to each of these offices is now
being tried in the Supreme Court, at
the suit of the Hampton officials, and
this attempt to oust the Republican in
cumbents is regarded by. them as a
violation of the agreement under
which the President consented to with
draw the troops from the State House.
The President expresses himself as
satisfied with the results of his South
ern policy, as far rs it has been tried,
ard maintains that it is in perfect ac'
cord with his speeches made in the
Ohio gubernBtorial campaign in 1875,
aud ia his letter accepting the nomina-
ton of the Cincinnati Convention.

A Gard TO the Puhic.

Fcr many years-we have made two medi-
cines suited to the ailments of vast class of
sufferers. Thousands of cures have been
made by them, and, in fact, the word failure
could not be coupled with them. But within
the last two years counterfeits of our medi-
cines have sprung up, dangerous in their close
imitation of our Trade Mark To secure the
people we have placed upon each genuine box
of Holfoway's Ointment the fac simile of the
signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock.
To counterfeit is felony. We shall relentless
ly pursue any one who initiates this with the
utmost vigor of the law. We most earnestly
beg that the great mass of the American peo.
pie will aid us in our efforts to protect their
health, and help us in our task of bringing
hese most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase Med-
cines purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached to each box
of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the end will
soon be reached.

pendenlIy of any other Influences than
those arising through the simple laws
of supply and demand. This forecast
ing of the cuurse of the wheat market
has been fully realized, not only in
England, but in this country, and pri-
ces for some time past have been stead
lily working upward, and still continue
to do so. In this market the supply
mas been very lneagre and even the
present high prices have failed as yet
to produce any appreciable increase In
receipts. The wants of our millers have
for some time been id excess OF the
supply, aud prices during the week
now closing have rapidly advanced
from aboui 81 70asI so to 81 8SaS2 00
per bushel Tor prime to choice grades,
sales being made yesterday at the out
side figures, which is the highest price
attained since February, 1873. There
is NO Western wheat coming here at
present, nor has there been for some
time past, and the total stock of wheat

portion of it Pennsylvania grain, is
only little over 40, 900 bushels. Some

what amount we are unable to say.
OF course high prices for wheat ne.
cessitate high prices for flour, and the
staff of life has not been tagging be,
hind in the upward movement. To
day high grades OF Baltimore -four are
quoted wholesale at 50 rs, and what
are known as shipping brands are
quoted at 50 00d9 25. At the cores
ponding period last year Baltimore
high grades stood ri 50 90 and ship
ping grades at 81 50a7 75. Such high
prices for wheat, however, will ne
doubt soon tempt out the boarded
fgrain far and near, and it is scarcely
possible that there can be any consider
able advances above those now prevail

that there need be any fear of entirely
draining the supply, and we have NJ
doubt there will be no small amoun
of the old grain crop on hand when tbs
new crop now srringing up and cloth

shall be ripe for the sickle. Possibly
some whos ARE now holding back theil

may find to their sorrow that they

The week Just closing has been dis,
tinguished by a remarkable degree oi
sctiyity-iargely speculatiye-in corn,
and by a steady and very rapid rise IL
toe price Of wheat and flour. The
movement in corn has been mainly
due to anticipation of an immense for

threatening aspect OF the Eastern com
ulications actually result in war.
Hence a very large percentage oil the
remarkable corn movement of the pasl
waek has had no more substantial
Ground to rest upon than anticipations
which NAV not be realized at all, how
ever probable and almost certain the
war NAV now seem. The transactions
in c,rn in this market during the

IL should be noted that the price o
Western mixed corn in elevator iol

from the fact than all corn now IN tht

AN important life insurance decision

IA Supreme Court in case involving
the question of the application of pre-

"The court in effect held that the

that the giving and accepting oil a note
for the payment of interest on prior

and render the company liable for the
