Adopting the Cash Systen,

We notice by some bills printed in our
Job department that the merchants out
at Glen Easton have entered into an
agreement to sell goods hereafter on a
strictly pay system"-that is for "cash
or produce" They set forth in their cir.
cuIar that they "have experienced the sad
inconvenience Of the time system, and in
order to sell cheap and give superior in.
ducements to close bvycrs" they have con.
cluded to try new departure. They
stated that their neighbor merchants are
adopting the cash and produce system
and inasmuch US it holds out utinducements
both to buyer and seller they too have
concluded TO adoptit.
We think that this is a wise step on the
part OF the Glen Easton merchants. The
great evil Of our day is tie overselling
Of goods on credit. This is why the
quarterly reports Of the commercial
agencies continue to show 30 many fail.

Report OF tho Woodin Committee

New York, May lO-The Senate

concurred in by every member and adopt.
ed unanimously by the Senate, stating
that they were unable to find anything
to substantiate the testimony OF Wm. NJ
Tweed, which was only remarkable in
Tweed's refusal to answer questions, but
neither his testimony or refusal to answer
questions impressed the committee with
the conviction that he was able to furnish
any evidence tending to establish the
charges against Senator Woodin, and the
charges are pronounced entirely without
foundation

Decline in Wool Mt the London
SRleS.

Advices from the great wool sale at
London yesterday show a decline Of 10
per cent in the price from former sales.
This decline is, we presume, attributable
in good part to the breaking out Of the
war between Russia and Turkey, and to
the apprehension that England and per.
haps other nations may yet become in
Yolred in il.

The FRUIT AND THE FRosT.-It is the
opinion Of fruit growers that the fruit in
this vicinity has not yet been injured by
the frost. Apples are slow about bloom,
ing, probably on account Of the unfavor,
able weather, but two or three days Of
bright sunshine will bring them out into
tull flower. The potatoes, which are now
several inches above ground, have beer
cut some by the frost, but the damage &C
far has been slight. The cold, wet wealth,
er OF the past few weeks has caused
much corn to rot in the ground, and re-
tar'led vegetation generally.

THE HA IVES ExrRADIT1oY CASE.

Judge jackson, of Covington, KY,
has rendered decision in the case of
Smith N. Halves, with important bear
ngs on the observance of the extradi-
tion treaty. 1t will be remembered that
Halves was the defaulting Treasurer of
Covington, that he found refuge in Can
ada, and was afterward extradited for
forgery. He was indicted in Kenton
County for embezzlement and forgery,
and acquitted on the forgery indict-
ment. When his trial was called for on
the indictments for embezzlement,
Judge Jackson held that his trial on any
other charge than that stipulated in the
extradition and recognized in the treaty
would be violation of international
law, and he accordingly ordered his inn
mediate release, with the privilege of
about six months time in which he
might make preparations for his return
to Canada. The decision has been
looked for with some interest, not only
at home, but in Great Britain. If the
treaty is imperfect, this case, with that
of Winslow, will render its imperfec.
tions more apparent, and they ought to
so toward bringing about an amended
treaty which would work more satisfac-
,torily to the interests of both countries.
