The Wool Market.

New York Bulletin of Saturday.
Nearly all buyers who appear upon
the market assume tone of indiffer-
enee, and the bidding is slow and care
full. Manufacturers complain of the un-
promising condition of the goods mar
ket, and while admitting the compara-
lively low price of material, they assert
the prospects for their product are not
as yet sufficiently promising to warrant
investment in wool beyond positive ne
cessity for immediate consumption.
There are, however, exceptions to the
rule, and some of our dealers report
their customers as negotiating in more
encouraging form than for some time
past, and think that with larger and
better assortment they could considera-
bly, increase the volume of business
Advices from the primary points con-
tinue to report high rates ruling, and
much more inclination to buoyancy than
appears to be warranted by the condf-
ton of affairs at the Eastward. Sales
reported here during the week embrace

SECRETARY SHERMAN, in Columbus
on Wednesday night, in response to a
serenade, made short speech, placing
himself squarely on the doctrine of the
right of the Nation to prescribe the
rules for National elections. These are
his words:
What we want is fair election law,
having additional barriers, which will
protect the purity of the election,an not
the repeal of those we now have. 1t
will be said, why not leave that matter
for the States to settle for themselves
My answer is this, the States do regu-
late the election of State and municipal
officers, but the members of Congress
who exercise your political power in the
United States in the sense that the Con-
stitution has expressly said that Con-
gress may provide the mode of electine
Congressman. Now the people elect the
Electors, who elect the President, and
Legislatures, who elect Senators, and the
National Government has no right to
interfere with the election of Senators
but Congress ought to provide laws to
prevent any man from casting forty or
more tissue paper ballots at one election.
and then go quit of punishment. There
ought to be no infringement of the right
of any citizen in any State You must
take nothing from the nation for the
State, and nothing from the States for
the nation. The nation must prescribe
the mode of electing members of Con-
gress, the State subordinate officers.
What Congress ought to do should be to
stop, put additional safeguards around
the ballot-box, rather than taking them
from it. You can do nothing with local
laws, and you must do it by national
law. You have a national judiciary.
whom you could invest with enforce
ment of that law, then we could punish
violators of that law. Now these are
the ideas of the future of our country.
We will have. others, but the most i'm
portant will be whether we shall have
honest elections and honest money, and
| am in favor of both.
AS to his candidacy for Governor, he
said:
/ want to make one personal remark
about myself. Some of my newspaper
friends have tried to make me a candi-
date for Governor of Ohio, but hope
none of you will vote for me in conven-
tion or before the people l propose to
stick to my present place until the ques-
tion of resumption is settled beyond the
faith of a doubt,

CONGRESSMAN UPDEGRAFF, of OHIO,
says the New York Tribune, expressed
the popular Northern conception of re-
conciliation accurately when he said in
recent speech in the House: IF re-
conciliation comes it must come with an
equal recognition on both sides. 1t
must come with justice, with obedience
to law and to the sovereignty which the
trainers of our Constitution proclaimed
must be supreme We will agree that
our battered shields shall be hung up
side by side as trophies of common
valOr, but we will not agree that the
dogmas which led to that awful conflict
shall be honored and enthroned. We
will not agree that loyalty shall seek
pardon of treason. We will not agree
that the unmatched defence of our
Union shall ever be written down other
than as everlastingly right. We will
not agree that any man in any section
of our land shall be despoiled of his po-
litical rights or ask in vain the shelter
of our flag. We will not agree to exalt
the perils or sanction the heresies that
must endanger if not destroy our ma
jeStic possibilities"

THE Nation does not think that the
power of the government to keep the

OF Judge Taft's religion we may say,
in answer TO these letters, that he adj
heres to that branch which is called Uni
tartan. Whether these shall go to heav-
en- or to the other place, we, needing the
Scripture injunction, judge not. Judge
Taft is Trustee, and may properly be
called a pillar in Rev. Mr.. Wendte's Uni
tartan congregation. We may also re-
mark that he is righteous man in the
sense of right doing, a man OF IRE
proachable character, temperance man
in his life, model man as husband,
father, neighbor, citizen, and in all the
relations of life. Considering the pretty
heavy personal habits we have had to
overlook in high places, even in those
much higher than Governor, the notion
that Judge Taft will not bring sufficient
personal goodness into the Office of Gov
ernor seems to us very absurd.-Cincin-
matt Gazette.

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for June is al
ready on our table, exceptionally bright
and meritorious in every department.
The principal steel engraving, among

The double-siZe colored fashion plate is
an exquisite picture, Then there is a
colored design for the cover of a blotting
book, so pretty that every lady, we
should think, would begin to work one
at once. The stories are unusually good.
The "Work-Table" department is partic-
ularly full. Nothing but its enormous
circulation could enable Peterson" to
give so much for the money: it is incon-
testibly the cheapest as well as best
Magazine of its kind. Its price is but

In my opinion, an amendment to the
Constitution ought to be devised sepa-
rating in distinct bills the appropriations
for the various departments of the pub
lie service, and excluding from each bill
all appropriations for other objects and
all independent legislation. In that way
alone can the revisory power of each of
the two houses and of the Executive be
preserved and exempted from the moral
duress which often compels assent to OBJ
jectionable appropriations, rather than
stop the wheels of Til
denis Letter of Acceptance, 1876.

HARPER'S MAG AZINE for June begins
the Fifty-ninth Volume and the thirtieth
year of that periodical. To new gen.
Grafton of readers it appears in a new
dress--in larger type, and with wider
wage. This is the third change which
has been made in the type of the Maga-
zine-each being an Improvement. The
contents of the June Number are espe-
cially attractive. They bring about the
reader the atmosphere of summer days.
They are bright, amusing, and restful.
There could hardly be more enjoyable
reading than Mr.. W. r. O'Donovan-one
of our most promising young sculptOrS
gives us in his "Pye and round there.
This opening article is followed by a
graceful full-page picture, illustrating
Herrick's lines upon a Virgin Kissing
a Rose" Then we are taken beyond the
Red River of the North into that myS-
terious land of magnificent distances
the territory of the Hudson Bay Com
pany-and brought face to face with the
fur traders, the half-breeds, the trappers,
and their picturesque life. By another
leap we are transported to the Dolomites
of Southeastern Tyrol We ascend the
and make delightful excursions over the
Ire Croce Pass to Mesurina Lake, and
over the Italian border to Cadore-Ti-
tian's native country; and here, again,
the artists pencil translates into beauti-
full pictures the charms of valley, lake,
and mountain. From nature We turn
again to pictures and scenes of greater
human interest in Olive Logan's "Grand
Days of Histrionics," illustrated with
of these being repro
ductions of paintings by distinguished
artists. E. p. Whipple contributes no
BILE paper, entitled "Recollections of
Agassiz;" ;" and going back to our early
history, John Esten Cooke gives an in
teresting sketch of Alexander Spotswood
of Virginia, the old Colonial Governor.
In fiction, besides Miss NEIlOck's delight
full novel, 'Y Young Mrs. Jardine,' there
are two excellent short stories-"Black
Point" by Constance FenimOre Wool
by A. A. Hayes, Jr. Two new serial
novels are promised, to begin in the AG-
gust Number-"White Wings; a Yacht
ing Romance" by William Black, and

order that new subscribers may have

ly to those remitting to them the price
of a yearly subscription, beginning with

THE conflict between Congress and
the President brings to remembrance
the fact that the constitution of the
Confederate States provided that its
President should have the power to We
to any separate items of a bill without
disappearing of the whole. Under such
a rule riders would not be tackled on to
appropriation bills. Another improve
ments in the Confederate instrument
was that it gave the President "a six

reelection.
