Marshall County Wool.

The wool trade In Marshall county has
fairly opened. and several clips have been
sold. We noticed on several days last
week 4 busy tbrong Of wagons at the
warehouse Of J. ". Gallahvr, aud under.

in considerable quantity Of Marshall

The price paid is 80 cents, with premi-

TO be 4 disposition on the part Ot the wool

Whether their expectations will be re-
allied or not il hard to foresee. With the
immense stocks Of wooden goods on the

whether manufacturers will be able 10

Conflicting English Press Views on

Opinion that Turkey has Fared
Worse than by the st.
stsfano Treaty,

LONDON, June 29.-The Euglish press
differ Rresly In opinion as to the results
thus far reached In the Congress. The
Daily Nans says: at Ia not for us to pro-
iess any regret because Of the terms that
have been imposed.on Turkey by the Con
gress, but we confess we can not see how
Her Majestyis present advisers can come
with any credit out Of the whole transae-
tion. The dullest Turk must now see
that Turkey would have had far better

mendations made by the Constantinople

vice which the Prime Minister and For.

and to Europe. The means by which
considerable success has been attained
are even more valuable than the material
result. The Eoglish Government has
throughout the negotiations, never been
exacting or oyerbearing. and 1t has al
ways been firm.
The SANFORD says the delimitation Of
Bulgaria, though il leaves US with some

pointed equally both the extreme yiews
which had been taken Of It's prospects. It
has been sitting for no more than Tort

Treasury officials say that II the reye.

the past year the consequences will be
alarming. For this fiscal year the re-
ceip,s from interal revenue have fallen
over eight million dollars below last
year, and nine million below the esti-
mates. This Is taken as an evidence Of
unprecedented depression in all branches
OF business. As there are no Indications
that next year will be better than this,
and in view Of the large appropriations
by Congress, II Is the general opinion in
Treasury circles that the debt will be in.
creased eight TO ten millions during the
next 6scaf year. To prevent the deficit
being larger thansthis, considerable will
have to Be sAyed from the Sundry Civil

Congress VS.. Resumption.

Secretary Sherman, in recent speech at
Cumberland, Md, gave very clear state
ment of the situation of the Treasury, and
of the conditions which must be observed if
resumption is TO be successful. The large
excess of our exports over our imports is
bringing gold into the country and enabling
us to pay our foreign debt rapidly. But the
legislation of the last session of Congress
placed some awkward obstacles in the way
of resumption. 1t increased the amount OF
legal tenders from s300000,000 to S346,000,-
600, and it required resumption not in gold
which, Mr.. Sherman remarks, would have
been an "easy problem" but in gold and
silver. He says "The bullion in the two
coins is of unequal value, the silver in the
dollar being worth, in gold, only eighty
three cents. If the market value of these
metals was at or about the relative value
fixed by law for their coinage, resumption
in both metals would be much easier than in
either. 1t would be very easy to resume in
silver dollars alone, but it is resumption in
gold coin, as well as silver, that is provided
for by law as well as by public policy. The
coinage of S200000 monthly Of silver dol
lars of legal tender is disturbing element
which we cannot now compute. We car
only hope that, before its issue is greatly in
creased, Congress will either limit it
amount or make it contain enough silver t.
ha anual in value IN GOLD

The Presidential Outlook.

In the elections of the present year the
Republicans have carried the following
states by majorities or pluralities on the
popular vote, by which, had it been Pres
idential year, they would have had the cleo.
tors Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New IIamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wiscon-
sin. The total electoral vote of these states
foots up two hundred and nine-twenty-
four more than the requisite one hundred
and eighty-five to elect President. It is
thus seen, had the Presidential year fallen
in 1873, and had the vote been cast for cleo
tors, the same as it has been for other can
didates, the Republicans would have carried
the Presidency by handsome and indis-
putable majority. The outlook is every
way highly flattering when compared with
the result in 1S74-two years before the
last Presidential election, as this is two
years before the next. In that year the Re-
publicans failed to carry Massachusetts,,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsy-
vania, and these five states alone have one
hundred and eight electoral votes. This
year they are all carried by the Republicans.
But under the stimulus of a Presidential
election both Oregon and California are
pretty certain for the Republicans, with
;na -, h.. "a -
to two hundred and thirteen. And now,
when the solid South is all there is left of
the democracy, the people will take hope in
the evidence of such consolidation in the
North as will meet and check the rapidly
maturing schemes of the Southern raiders.
