MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
THE WHEAT CORNER VERDICT.
Special advices from Milwaukee on
the 21st inst, state that the differences
growing out of the McGeoch corner
were decided by the board of arbitra-
tors of the chamber of commerce to-
day. The complaint was McGeoch
against J. B. Oliver & Co., and the de-
cision was: ''We do find and award
as follows: That complainant, on
July "a, 1873, bought of respondents
$4,000 bushels of No. 2 spring
wheat for July delivery, sellers
option, at $115 bushe. Each
party put up margins as called for
under the rules, the complainant de-
posted $1,000, and respondents $500,
as security for the fulfillment of said
contract. Respondents had failed to
deliver $1,000 bushels of wheat sold by
them to complainant, and complainant
thereupon bought tie wheat so default
ed in open market, in accordance with
the rules of this chamber of commerce,
at $1.30 bushel. We therefore find
that complainant is entitled to recover
of respondents the sum of $500, and
the costs of this action"
NEW YORK ADMINISTRATION REPUBLICANS.
A Saratoga dispatch of the
21st says: A meeting of re-
publcans from all parts of the state,
favoring the administration of Presi-
dent Hayes, was held to-day, and it
was resolved that it is apparent that
the success of the republican party this
fall must depend on its harmony. This
cannot be expected if honest differ
ences of opinion as to the policy of the
administration or as to claims of lead
ing republicans are made the occasion
of discord; and especially if republican
voters are deprived of the right afforded
to the people by uniform party usages
of communicating their views by the
authoritative voice of the convention
chosen with the express reference to the
living issues of the campaign, some of
which have become prominent since
the last convention was held We,there-
fore, respectfully suggest to the repub-
lican state committee that it call state
convention of delegates to be elected by
the people according to the usual meth
DDS.

THE LABOR COMMISSION.
A New York dispatch of the 21st inst,
says the congressional labor committee
resumed its session to-day. The first
witness was w. Goodman Mady, of
Boston; he said that he could not dis
cover that there was any conflict
in the theory between capital and
labor, but he found that tn ere
was an artificial conflict be-
tween them, growing out of miscon-
certion of relations between them by
both parties; the direct cause, he
thought, was that the laboring classes
could not understand why the capital
lists could be in influence and they in
poverty; he had no sympathy with hos
tility.
