Amid the general " slaughter" of prices in dry
goods, boots and shoes and merchandise and no.
tons all round now going on among the dealers
in Ottawa, il looks as if Mr.. \. Lynch was about
to eclipse them all. He has decided after New
Years to overhaul and thoroughly remodel his
store building, raising up the ground floor foot
or two and the ceilings to l6 feet or more. or
course during this operation he can do no bust
ness, and cover his goods rs he will, they cannot
avoid being injured by the clouds of sand and
dust which during the work must pcryadc the
building Rather than incur this damage, Mr..
Lynch has decided to put his goods at such prices
that he knows ,rW sell them before the rebuilding
in January commences. Reference is made to
what he says over his own signature elsewhere,
Mr.. Lynch is man who always does what he
saws and never goes back on an adNrrtisement.
Decidedly our opinion is that biz bargains about
now can he got at Lynch's.

vance Oh the State House. The gen.
eral fear was that they would so adj
vance. AS for the police in tho
building they were utterly disorgan
lied and scattered all over the build
ing, not more than twenty of them
being in ranks. Of the eight or nine
hundred persons who slept in the
building last night, all but very few
sneaked out this morning. A vain
attempt was made to entice into the
building some hundred oreighty ne
groes standing atthe corner looking
on. They emphatically declined the
invitation.
THE POLICE STATION.
The crowd in front of the Police
station and Court room was, at an
early hour, three or four thousand in
number. One company Of the Mill
tia was present under the orders OF
Sheriff Handy.
At about II o'clock the doors lead
ing to the police Court room were
opened and a squad of Militia
marched forward and took posses
sion, refusing admittance, however
to the mob. A dozen or so police,
men were in the building, but did not
attempt to exercise any official acts
They were simply deserters from the
garrison In the Third Precinct sta,
ton. Negotiations were then opened
with Captain Grey, commanding the
police, who announced that he felt
thes impossibility of holding the
place with his present force, and was
wiling to ,surrender.-, Fifteen min
were asked for and given. The pc
lice then complained of the crowd
outside, saying that they feared
some i'll treatment from them.
Two companies of militia were &C
cordingly marched up and the crowd
dispersed. After few minutes pre-
paration the police marched out in
between files of the militia, and thus
escorted they marched down Char
tres street, followed by q large crowd.

WASHINGTON, }
Jan. 2, 1877. :


man has made and unmale Cabinets
or apparently exercised controlling
influence on great public questions,
but rum'or has it thai the excellent
wife of Presidens Grant was not in
accord witt him IN hiss earlier and
more radicaEideas as to- thei means
!. ofcounting ia and initugdl'atint Mr.
HAYES, and that her oi,i.lons have
had and are having weight with the
President. Tie refusal Of Mrs
HAYES to visit Mrs. Grant at Long
Branch last Summer is one cause as.
siened for the alleged course of the
latter; but, whether petty spite or q
sound womanly sense of justice con
trolls her, it is to be hoped that her
Influence will be effective. Who
would dream Of the Inauguration OF
Hayes, but for the threatened sup
port of Grant, Chandler and Came
ron? The truth is that, under our
present centralized despotism, q
President Of military habits oil
thought and confessedly unified for
the exercise of civil authority, like
Grant, may imagine that he can per-
betuate any theory of'Governmeht or
enforce any anti-repubIican determi.
nations of his own upon the country.
Tsut the civil war is over. the people
wish to return to constitutions!
government, and would even show
him his mistake if he attempted SO
Migrant an outrage as forcing the in
auguration, as President, of q man
not clearly elected. Still, if Il gen
tier power than that of an aroused
and armed people, or even than that
Of the ballot, can change the deter
mination of our present dictator, it
will be well, and Mrs. Grant will de-
serve and receive the thanks of all.
