Local Tobacco Market,


Local politics ran so high in Lancaster
city and county all last week that the to-
baccO trade was neglected. Growers,
packers and employees alike shared the
excitement. One prominent packer and 4
score of growers were candidates, of
whom some were taken and others left
There was nevertheless good deal of the
weed gathered up by buyers during the
week and good deal hauled to the city
warehouses on Saturday, but the season is
rapidly closing out. In some sections of
the county the crop has been bought up
quite closely, and well-infOrmed dealers
say there is not more than 5000 cases of
loose tobacco in the market, though Il
good many crops held ut high prices by
the growers are being packed by them,
and will eventually come into the market.
Very few packers have yet finished
packing, and most of them continue to
buy wherever they see Il crop in which
there is any money.
Not many young plants were set out
last week, except dollhouse plants. and
these will not aggregate one acre to the
hundred. The tobacco lands in all direc-
tions arc being prepared to receive the
young plants, and millions of them will
be set out at the first favorable Oppor-
tunity.
The New York and Philadelphia markets
for the current week have been published
in the lNTELLIGENCEI,a and some interest
ing local correspondence on tobacco and
reports of sales will be found on our first
page to-day.

FREQUENT inquiries are made as to

year charged with the special RESPONSE
bility of nominating a county commits
siOner and auditor who will be elected ::
and which, in view of the condition of the
Republican party may have other unusual

of the Democratic county committee
has to say, in answer to these inquiries,
that he finds it the universal desire of the

New Element in Presbyterian POiity.
At the Presbyterian general assembly
yesterday the report OF answers of the
presbyteries to the Ovcrturcs sent down
by the last assembly was read. The over
lures were declared by the moderator as
both answered in the affirmative. These
Ovcrtures were in reference to the reOrgan-
ization OF the synods Of the church, and
arc as follows: First, making the synods,
ut their own option, to be composed of all
the bishops and an elder from each church
in their several districts, or of equal dele
cations Of bishops and elders elected by
presbyterles on 4 basis and in 4 ratio de-
termincd by the synod itself and its presby-
teries. Second, the synod has power to
decide finally on ali appeals, complaints
and references which do not affect the doc
trine and constitution of the church. Both
of these changes will Introduce decidedly
new element into the Presbyterian l,olity.
