The very noticeable decline in the
wheat market created quite buzz Of ex-
citement in Chicago, which continued
several days. A dispatch from that city
says; Favorable crops, rumors that the
combination has held wheat up for a few
months past were selling out, and the ex-
pected outbreak Of fever in the Southern
cities, have combined to depress prices.
The decline in cash wheat has amounted to
about fourteen cents during the week
the lowest sales being to-day, when
on call wheat sold for July option at s61ac
There were rumors Of failures, but so far
as known they were only temporary embar'
rassments, and all firms interested are eX-
pected to continue business. Clearings
were larger by $l,5o0,00o to-day than
usual on account Of heavy deliveries Of
wheat by the combination. The total de-
liyeries made by them were 100000 bush
els here and 100000 bushels in Milwau-
kee."

The efforts of the Hoosier war secretary
to interest the West in the U. S. navy, and
the failure that attended those efforts, are
exciting very general ridicule. The T.-J.
OF st. Louis refers to the matter as follows:
The Wachusett is mastering its cadets at
New Orleans. This is what we would call
"interesting the West in the navy" with a
yengance The mission Of the Wachusett
has proved an utter failure. 1t sailed up
the Mississippi to ''interest the West" and
then ANONYMOUSLY drifted back down
stream and did tor another section Of coun-
try what it loudly professsd it would do for
this section. The whole expedition has
petered and fzzled out ingloriously.

DOOMED FOR THE TINE, IF NOT

No one who is endowed with the better
elements of human nature can contemplate
the present and future of the once proud

upon the city, with no purpose to desist
until the cruel, relentless work Of destruc.

leper among American cities, stunned and
avoided by Its own peope.-held as thing
Of horror not to be seen or touched.-a

THE Democratic Workingman's' party Of
California has taken a new departure, and
has forbidden the payment Of assessments
by candidates, the penalty for non.compli-
ance, being the abandonment Of the guilty
candidate. This we think, is carrying the
civil service reform little too far. The
candidate should not be subject to black
mail, or burdensomc levies; but he should
be compelled to pay reasonable share of
the expenses of his canvass. The candidate
who, by the efforts of friends is elevated to
an office worth its thousands year, should
not impose the expense as we'll as the labor
upon his friends; but should bear his due
proportion If he declines to do this-to
pay for his own tickets, for his own hand
bills, posters ard circulars, and for the dis
tribution of them, he is, in a pecuniaIy
sense, hog, and lie is the man who should

its business, and to leave only the skeleton
to tell of the havoc that was wrought.
Dealing with the situation from a severe,
but practical standpoint, the Memphis Ap'
peal sees the scourge in front of the city,
and looking beyond it, sees in the light OF
the torch Of the incendiary, the starving
thousands who, to-day, are without food to
pass them over until the morrow. Never
was city in so deplorable condition
Most of her leading men have fled to places
of safety, hundreds Of them never to re-
turn. Of all those who in seasons of health
are there to plan and advise, but few re-
main to share the danger, and counsel the
bewildered poor, who cannot fly from the
terrors that environ them. Every man who
could do so, has looked, or is looking
to the safety Of himself and his
dependents; but not one word has he said,
not one dollar has he lett, from which the
penniless may profit. No provision has
been made for the safety of abandoned
property, "no money has been suh.cnbed
to maintain an integrity, which, Once as
sailed by hunger, will prove but weak in
deed" The city and county governments
are impotent in the emergency, and the
condition appears to be absolutely hopeless.
Those who left the city went under the
spur and pressure Of panic; while most Of
those who remain have yielded to that feel

What will come Of all this, no man
knows; but all may conjecture. Necessity
knows no law; hunger no crime. The
twenty thousand blacks and whites, now
penniless, finally driven 10 desperation by
their sufferings and wants, will enact
scenes, from a mere contemplation Of which
the mind recoils for very horror. This is
the outlook, and in it we read the doom of
Memphis. Property values are already
destroyed, citizens by the thousand, flying
from their business and their homes, as
from the grim monster himself, leaving all
to the mercy of the burglars and thieves or
the more dreaded hunger.driven mob--all
these form an ordeal that but few men,
who can avoid it will pass through for the
third time. In this lies the horror of tie
present and the peril of the future 10 untor'
tunate Memphis. For years to come,
though yellow fever gain no hold any
where in the South, the city will be and re-
main but mere shadow, skeleton of its
former self-shorn of its business, its lite,
its wealth, its air of thrift, of all that rem
dered 1t the second city of the lower

City Commissioners.

The City Solicitor decided, in regard to
the Newport and Covington Street Rail-
roads, that the city can impose any and all
conditions it sees proper; that the com
panies have no rights here unless the city
grants them, consequently the city can
withhold the giving unless its demands are
complied with. What conditions, if any,
should be imposed, is not question of law,
but one Of policy, and wholly within the
jurisdiction of the legislative department
of the city.
The matter of laying water pipes in the

Investigating Committee met, with all the
members present. After roll-call and read,
ing of the minutes, Mr.. Butterworth stated
that heand his colleague were not ready to
state whether they would have counsel OF

General Ware then stated that he had
been employed by the memorialsts to give
advice on points of law, and that Messrs.
Pugh and Gerard would act as his associ-
ates.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. New that
the investigation be confined to the matters
contained in the memorials referred to the
Committee, and the mode and effect of the
execution of the law in relation to the du-
ties of Supervisors.
Before the vote was put, however, dis
cussion on the subject matter of the resolu-
ton took place. which was followed by the

Fort PICK, NJ. r., VIA BUFoRD, D. T.,
July 23.--Joseph Lambert, the well-kncwn
interpreter, scout and guide, his wife and
four children were killed yesterday by the
Sioux They had been out to the Yankton
Camp and were within six miles of Wolf
Point on their return when attacked. Nine
persons in the party were killed, and lit
tie girl was carried away into captivity.
A little son of Lambert was ahead of the
party, and ran back to look for them, when
he was lanced through the body, but he has
been brought in and may recover.
At the mouth of Muscle Shell Col. Iges,
with four companies of the Seventh Infant
ry, is stationed. The vicinity of this camp
was formerly favorite crossing for the hos
tiles going north and south.
On the Goth band of hostiles supposed
ly Sioux, were going north above Muscle
Shell with large number of stolen horses
Lieutenant Wright with a detachment
went in pursuit and kept the trail until the
reds were overtaken. After a short
skirmish two Indians were killed, the rest
flying to the bad lands for refuge. There
is no cavalry at Colonel Iges' camp, al
though it seems to be an important point
for intercepting roaming bands.
BEAVER CREEK, NJ. r., July 1S.-Eight of
our Cheyennes went out to reconnoitre
this morning near the scene of yesterday s

He used his Winchester freely, and
killed the Cheyenne Chief, Shadow Comes
Out, at the first fire. Other Cheyennes
then charged in body, and killed the

Madame Won Loewe's Attempt at Suicide.

Some time ago Mrs. Caroline Florenz alias
Madame Van Loewe, who attempted sui
eide by shooting, at the st. Nicholas Hotel,
left word with Mr.. Balthasar Roth to send
copies Of the Cincinnati papers to certain
persons in Budapesth and Vienna tolet them
know what she had done, after clipping with
Nathan Schuk. Mr.. Roth complied with
her request and his wife has received the
following in reply;
VIENNA, July 4, 1879.
DEAR MADAME-Deeply stricken by the
sad and terrible news which one of your
papers brings us that our loving and not to
be forgotten sister-in-law and sister, Caro-
line laid hands upon herself, hasten to
beg you, dear madame, to let us know at
the shortest notice if the poor one, our
good Caroline, has succumbed to her
wounds or If she is still alive God grant it
be the latter and that she may recover to
return again to our arms, as we will receive
her once more with the greatest Joy and
love. We and the whole family are up to
date, without any letter from her. and
therefore in terrible ignorance as to her
fate. | again pray that you, dear madame
will make known to us all the additional
circumstances, and accept our heartfelt
thanks for what you have DONE with the as
surance of our highest regards.
GEORGE GRUND.
From the above it will be seen that the
anxiety felt by Mrs. Florenz (who is still
at the Betts-street Hospita) as to whether
her relatives would take pity on her and
receive her once more as a member of the
family is ungrounded.
Mr.. Roth has in his possession photo
graph of Nathan Schuk, the paramour of
Mrs. Florenz, who eloped with her from
Budapesth Mr.. Schuk's countenance has a
strong proclivity to the Jewish type. 1t is
rot an inviting face at ALL The character
of the man is established by the picture,
which shows number of titles, etc. OH his
breast, which, according to the Austrian
Consul at New York, are all forgeries.
Mrs. Florenz is in fair way to recover,
and will probably soon leave for her de-
serted home.

One of the proprietors of Brighton Beach

vulgar, and il is well known fact among
hotel men that when this class once takes
possession of place that place is dead

The opinions of the proprietors Of other
hotels on Coney Island Beach vary as to the
wisdom of Corbin's course. Prominent
Hebrews of this city vehemently denounce
his conduct The Sun says to-day ''rhe

Murder in the First Degree and
Imprisonment for Life.

OwENroN, KY, July 23.-Late yesterday
afternoon, all arguments having closed,
Judge McNamara gave the Buford case to
the Jury. They had not agreed at bed
time and were permitted to seek their
couches at their lodging-house, under sur
veillance of the Sheriff. This morning at
$50 they were again in consultation, and
at o'clock announced that they had
reached verdict.
The Courthouse was at once packed with
a throng eager to learn the fate of Judge
Elliott's murderer, and the decision of the
jury evidently was what a majority o!
those assembled had anticipated. The ver-
dict rendered was of murder in the first
degree, and the punishment of the prisoner
was fixed at imprisonment in the Peniten-
tiary for life. The counsel for BufOrd at
once made motion for a new trial.
