demanded.

future changes of teachers, to con-
suit the Visiting Committees of the

A FULL MARKET, WITH FAIR RULING

poets of large additions being made

in great profusion, and first-rate ar
ticle of this palatable fruit was obtain
able at 60 cents per basket, with the
best qualities selling at rs and eighty
cents. Canteloupes came next in
quantity, and nice, sweet-looking nut
megs were freely offered at so cents

were offered at from fifteen to thirty
cents per piece, with reduced rates at

were held at 30 rs per basket, rather
stiff prices, considering the plentiful

65 cents per basket. In addition, po-
tatoes, onions and cucumbers were
freely offered at current rates. The
pavements and portions of che streets

POLITICAL ISSUES-GENERAL GAR
FIELDS PART IN THE GREAT
FRAUD-MoRAL OBLIQUITY OF
MEN IN HIGH POsITIoN-wHo
ATTEMPTED TO AssAssINATE THE
REPUBLIC?
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July "a, 1880.
Said a gentleman to me yesterday,
whose name is distinguished in the
annals of his country's recent legis-
lative history, "It is absurd for So
called independents to insist that
the coming election will be merely a
contest between candidates and par
ties, and that there are no great
issues before the people," Issues
were never more momentous or
more sharply defined. First and
foremost among them is the over
towering issue raised by the Elec-
toral Commission. In it is involved
nothing less than the right of the
people to choose through constitu-
tional methods their highest execu-
tive officer. 1t really envolves their
right to vote, for the ballot will be-
come an empty mockery il the great
crime by which Mr.. Hayes was in
stalled shall go unrebuked, and
Freedom will have greater cause to
shrek than at the death of ten thou
sand Kosciuskos, if one of the visit
ing statesman and one of the cleo
toral eight shall be elected to the
high place now desecrated by an
executive placed there by fraud.
Political philosophers are right in
speaking of Republican Government
as an experiment. True, it had SUBJ
sisted in the United States until the
election of Mr.. Tilden. 1t has ap-
peared fitfully and intermittently in
France. Favored by peculiar geo.
graphical environment it has held
its own in the Businesses of the Swiss
Alps. There are certain indications
III modern times that point to Re-
publicanism as the government of
the remote future, but viewed in the
trend of the worlds history, Repub-
lican government must be looked
upon as very novel experiment.
Certain it is that IL has been most
fatally stunned for four years in the
United States, and that the Repub-
lican party are so callously insensi-
BILE to the crime and the calamity,
that they are trying to award one of
the chief assassins with the Presi-
dency. 1t is this callousness, this
moral obliquity of men in high judi
cial and legislative places, where
they oug hit to be chastened and
purified with enthusiasm for this
sublime but critical exploiting Of
popular government, that makes
patriots seriously solicltous for the
fate Of Republican institutions in
the United States.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMs.

THE Viceroy of India telegraphs that
Ayoob Kahn did not follow up the British
retreat. Gen. Burrows force has arrived at
Candahar. When the messenger left Ayoob
Kahn was eneamped where the action was
fought. This seems to confirm the news that
Ayoob Khan has suffered heavily. The
London Tines Calcutta correspondent
says: Everything seems to point to Gen.
Burrows having been outgeneraled, and
the battle Of Phushki Nakud will probably
be hereafter cited as one more instance Of
the story, old as British history itself, Of q
gallant army being ruined by the infatuation
and incompetency Of its leader and treachery
of its allies, % there can be little doubt that
Walis's (native) cavalry went over to the
enemy"
