Weed OH the Situation.
A reporter interviewed Mr.. Thurlow
Weed on the subjects of the Potter resolu-
ton and General Grants chances for the
next Presidency. The veteran politician
was somewhat cautious about giving his
views but he took a very wide range of the
questions. He regarded the Potter resolu-
ton as a great misfortune, as it may lead to
revolution and anarchy in its worst form.
He said the character of Potter, well known
for its probity, would add strength to the
resolution and make the consequence all
the more dangerous. The country was not
in condition to bear anything that showed
of revolutionary excitement. Weed be-
lieved, in case of emergency, the first choice
of owners and capitalists for leader would
be Gen. Grant, butas to his chances fora third
election it was very difficult to answer.
Weed would not be surprised if ,rilden was
inspiring the Potter movement. He said he
had never seen any man who got Presi-
dency on the brain who was able to re-
linquish the idea.

sumo his duties.
Sugar Refiners' Paper.
There is much feeling in the sugar trade
over recent decision Of some banks to de-
cline to discount the notes of sugar re-
finers. The President of well-known
bank stated to reporter that it has been
apparent for some time that sugar refining
was not profitable. His bank had declined
single-name sugar paper because it was not
deemed prudent to risk the banks capital
in business that required the exhaustion
of its capital to sustain it. He claimed re-
finers were losing from to 2 cents pound
upon every barrel of sugar manufactured.

Vosburgh, at Jersey City, in regard to the
terrible accusation against her husband.

clares her belief that he is innocent, and
that he never attempted to poison her. If

him to the State Prison Mrs Vosburgh is

his prosecution against her husband.
GEN. Gideon J. Pillow,
in accepting the invitation of the Grand
Army Of the Republic to unite with them
in decorating the graves and honoring the
memory and achievements of the men who
fell in the war between the States, said:
'You but honor the brave and patriotic
men who fought that war out and had no
part in causing the national strife. On both
sides they obeyed their sense of duty and
patriotism. The great battles of those
armies are a common heritage of manly
courage and patriotic devotion. They con
stitute proofs to the world of what Ameri-
can people are capable. Divided, their con-
hicts of arms shook the earth beneath their
tread. United, they could resist the world
in arms"
