TO resurrect every case in which a Repub.

were on the alert, and Mr.. Window met
this charge by proving that not one OF the

WEDDING IL SOUTH WnEELixG.-The
announcement OF tue marriage Of Mr.. Ed.
Wheat and Miss Ella Thatcher, step daugh.
ter of DR.. J. W. Mccoy, which appeared
in these columns yesterday morning, it
seems was premature. The awkward err
ror was the result OF q misunderstanding
on the part Of our informants as 10 the
time the ceremony was to take place, and
was given to the writer in good faith and
published in the samespirit. The ceremony
was performed last evening, at the resi-
dence OF DR.. Mccoy, on Jacob street,
South Wheeling; and now that the couple
are happily united we trust they will not
think hardly OF the blunder which antici.
pated the clergyman in tying the matri-
monial knot.
Mr.. Wheat is a son OF Mr.. Jesse Wheat,
OF South Wheeling, and is employed as
bookkeeper by the well known house Of
Joseph Speidel & Co. He is young man
Of nnexceptionable character, and desery-
edly popular with his associates. His
bride is an accomplished young lady,
much esteemed by a large circle OF nc.
quaintances. The young couple have the
good wishes Of all who know them.

Honest and Dishonest officials, and
What Was Said orThem In the senate.
WASHINGTON, June 95.-The Democrats
Of the Senate were unwilling 10 say or do
anything in reference to the political
riders until the joint caucus had passed
upon the report Of the Committee on
Safety. Hence, when the little Deficiency
bill, with its heavy load OF amendments
came up to-day, the Democrats resorted to
the disingenuous game Of mud.finging,
with view OF diverting the regular order
debate. Mr.. Window made mastery
defence OF the Republican party, and in.
iected into his speech a very interesting
comparative statement Of the growth Of
the government and its economic man
agement for the past eighteen years. But
the speech was too true to be relished by the
Democrats, and, being unable to cOntro-
vert it, they attempted to break its effect
BY making wild charges OF corruption and
indulging in general abuse Of the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Salisbury was the first to
make these charges, although he retired
at the hrst shot Of tho Republicans. Mr..
Window spoke for large number OF
people in the country when he declared
that, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Democrats Lad been in control OF the
House four years, and had had thirty.one
investigating committees at work 10 hunt
up dishonest officials, they had only sue.

thousand dollars OF the peoples money

ToRoSro, oSr., June 25.-Crop reports
from Ontario and the other provinces
show prospects for more than an average
crop. In some places fall wheat was win.
ter-killed, and in other the latencss OF the
spring delayed its growing; but the favor
able weather OF the past few weeks has
worked wonders. TIE dispatches indicate
that the craps are looking better in the
eastern than in the western sections oi
Ontario; but the harvest the country over
will be q bountiiul one. The hay crop
will be unprecedentedly large. Wheat,
oats and barley are above the average.
Root crops OF all kinds are thriving well,
and fruit will give at least an average
yield. The potato crop has thus far es'
capped the ravages Of the potato bug.

Esw York BuelIn Of Yesterday.
A fair number OF buyers continue in at
tendance and are willing TO examine the
samples Of attractive wools as they become
ready for market. The demand, however,
lacks force aud vitality, aud there is an
evident inclination to move with greater
care on the part Of manufacturers. The
improvement on goods has either been
checked entirely or proves 50 very slow as
to render margins between material and
product extremely doubtful, and with a
large portion ofthe more pressing contracts
now provided for, buyers incline to stand
of a trihe for developments. Advices
from the country still indicate a feverish
aud somewhat buoyant feeling ex.
tant over a. portion Of the wool
area; but, as noted in our last, this
is in great measure stimulated by
speculative operators, while the represen.
tatives Of the regular dealers and manu-.
faCtures are holding of entirely or con6n-
ing themselves to odd parcels now and
then coming within reach on comparative.
Iy easy terms. We have heard within
week or ten days Of several parcels here
upon which owners modified their former
extreme views, especially Texas and Cali
tOrnina stock, but it scarcely amounts to a
decline, and indeed, so far as the average
holder is concerned, the feeling seems 10
be firm still, with no idea that any posi-
tive reaction on value will, for the present,
take place. The market in brief appears TO
have simply reached stopping point in
the tendency to buOyancy, and will prob.
ably require the test Of two or three weeks
operations to fairly indicate whether all
the recent gains can be sustained. Coarse
foreign woOls move to some extent, but
without unusual features.
