The New Orleans papers are disposed
to lay the cher portion OF the losd OF
fraud in the Louisiana elections, upon
the none too broad shoulders OF our an
cient friend JOHN SHERMAN; IN fact,
JoHN's shoulders are wanted for similar
purpose in numerous directions. The
New Orleans papers say of course JOHN
only staid in their city long enough for
the Returning Board to make up their
figures in favor Of HAYES, based upon
frauds and rascslities which were con-
cocled and put into execution IN the
preserce of that person who now rules
the Treasury. BY his own confession IN
his report to the President, he was aware
OF sll the disreputsble acts committed by
the Board. lie admits that they had no
right to throw out votes except after GER
lain solemn iormslties had been
complied with and yet he shows
in his report that these solemn
formslities" were never observed
in the cases where the alterations were
made. This shows JOHN to be some
thing OF fool; bat such an explanation
does not meet with his appreciation. de
would much rather be convicted as a
knsve, than aughed at rs fool. The
other statesmen were not so incautious as
JOHN or as candid as MOVES, but they
knew as much as either or they would
not have been given hush money and fat
offices.
1t will be interesting to know, not only
how the frauds were worked up and the
means employed to accomplish the de-
sired end, bat also who was the author
and contriver Of the plan, and who were
the most active OF the brotherly band OF
scampish politicians.

TIE OUTLOOK FOR WOOL.

The wool market is still quiet IN the
contiguous counties of Ohio and the
prices are not very encouraging. The
Steubenvllle Wool Growers Bulletin
says;
ave have given full reports from
Eastern markets, and will allow our
readers TO draw their own conclusions.
"The wool market is very quiet, as IS
generally the case at this season. No
BUYERS IN the market except msnufac-
turers, but they have been buying pretty
freely. We are creditsbly informed that
several large manufacturing companies
have been free buyers OF fine WOODS AZ
prices ranging from SEC to 4Oc, some
having bought within the past month
about half million pounds. from
another source we learn that some Boston
spectators are offering to lay down Ohio
understandable woods, clip OF '7S, at 500
SAC. This, by some, would be considered
bluff. When we call TO mind the trans
actions in the wool trade of one and two
wears ago, we do not deem 1t necessary to
offer any comments. During the past
week we have sold ] 900 ID; choice fine
delaine at 45c, 1000 lbs of fine de!aine
at 4Oc. 1000 lbs No. l M at 3Sc, 1850
10; coarse and medium unwashed at &c,
1920 lbs coarse tub at SIC, and 400 lb3
inferior tub at 223c.
ave had hoped TO have been able to
give our readers something more tangi-
Die or definite in this issue concerning
the future wool market But the cold
weather seems to have had as decided an
effect upon the budding Of the market tor
rs as it has on vegetation. Judging
from the number of sacks being ordered
we would inter that the views OF buyers
did not come up TO those OF the grower.
All who anticipate sending their wool TO
this house should endeavor to put it in as
good condition as possible. The best con-
ditioned woods are the ones that bring
the best prices"
The GAINESVILLE market is also dull &C
cordlng to the Courtsr, which says:
"There is but little doing in wool in
this city. Unwashed woods brings -
cents, and on this basis 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that washed woods, light condi-
toned, will command 3S cents, although
buyers are now offering but 20 to 30
cents, and are not seemingly anxious to
buy at that figure. Eastern commission
merchants advise against paying higher
figure, but at the same time they admit
that 80, or even 30 cents may be received
later in the season.

BY the Ohio moral standard, there Is q
deplorable state OF morals in Lawrence
county, Black Hills, Dakota, wherein Is
Dead wood. A New York Times CORES
pendent writes that in the county there
are $50 drinking saloons, which pay q
license of $500 year. This makes
$4,000 Cincinnati Commercial.
There is more than one way Of looking
at this matter. According to the "Ohio
moral standard" the $50 drinking saloons
would certainly exist, but as they do not
pay the $500 license, the $4,000 revenue
would be 8 nonexistsnt income. There
is no trouble in selling liquor in Ohio
but morality" forbids license.
