1t turns ont worse and worse for the
democrats a the inquiry goes on into the
matter of mailing republican documents TO
Ohio under the frank of General Ewing,
instead of the State rights literature that
MeSSrS. Chalmers and Banks of MiSSiSSip-
nj supposed they were forwarding. The
only explanation A. vet reported is that
unite number of newly appointed
democratic folders cannot read, and, ind
inc lot of nicely printed republican cam
paign documents liked them better than
the assortment of speeches they had been
dealing with, many of which were printed
on very poor and cheap paper. AT any
rate. large editions of republican speeches
have passed through the mails under the
name of General Ewing. The democrats
should have some of those ''literary fellerS
serve as folders Of campaign documents.
Saws the Boston AdrertiSer: Striking
evidence of the impossibiity of maintain
ing resumption is now on It's way 10 New
York. Ii consists of $4,000 United States
gold eagles, worth quarter of million
dollars. which the price OF exchange makes
il possible to bring home at aprotit. That
is. so the English papers assert, only the
first of several shipments OF the same KIND.
If our friends in Maine do not keep well
informed As TO the importations of coin
during the coming months and tell the
Greenbackers all they know about it as
often as they get a chance, they are not so
shrewd as we take them to be. The indi-
cations now are that the amount will be
large. especially in view Of the fact that
the price of our bonds in England is so
high that it does not encourage the eXpor-
tation of them instead of money, which is
very cheap.

then struck her and knocked her down. The
witness was unable to state when she met John

tween North Capitol street and New Jersey ave
nue., and ran after this man, whom he found on

70 CARDS 50. Blacklidge gallery, III Market

The CORCoRAN MARKET QUEsTION.-A meet
ing Of property-holders living in the northern
portion Of the city was held last night In the
hall corner OF 18th and o streets, to take action
relative to the market being retained there.
Mr., H. II. Wells was chosen chairman and Mr..
A. w. Dom secretary. Mr.. s. r. Bond gave a
history of the market, stating that the ground
was sold to the District by Hon. WV. Corcoran,
with the understanding that it was to be used
for market. 1.-THE sale was one of his many
acts OF benef1cence, for he took in payment a
500, 900 bond of the District, which was used for
the erection and maintenance of the Corcoran
Art gallery. The Commissioners of the District
have recommended to Congress that this ground
be solo, but 1t is only justice to the property
holders, whose estates have been assessed to an
amount double what would pay fol- the erection
of the market, that the original intention should
be carried out. The old sheds had yielded ST, 900
annually. The following committee was ap-
pointed to prepare petition and secure sigma
lures for presentation to Congress: MeSsrs
Wells, Buck, r. G.. Hewitt, II. G. Daily, James
Reeves, DR.. Dietrich, W. A Cook, II. II. Wells,
E. W. Dorne, T. D. DAILY, s. r. Bond and D. Fo-
gerty. The committee was urged to go 10 work
