DRY GOODS.

The latest from New York states that the
exports of domestics for the week were
9, "a packages, including 14o TO Great Drlt-
ain. 731 to China, $50 to the United State
of Columbia, pa to Hayti, 92 to Central
America. 81 to Peru, etc. Inc demand az
first hands was comparatively hght, put
there was a fair movement IN tne pSsI
wide sheetiDgs, corset jeans, dyed DUCKS,
ETC., on account of back orders, and prices
remained steady on all the most prominent
makes. Print cloths were in moderate ue,
mand for prompt and future delivery, anu
prices remain unchanged on the basis OF
3sc, for extra 64x64s. and 1-l6c. for 5oxovs;
Prints were in irregular demand at agents
hands and the jobbing trade was some
what less active; but prices are steauy' eA-
cent for ''oif STYLES" on which slight con-
cessions are made in some cases. 1lng,
hams, wide printed cottons, lawns and
pioues were in moderate request by pack
age buyers and in fair demand by retailers
"A Boston dispatch says there has been a
noticeable revival in trade this week,
exoept with agents. The jobbers and
retailers have been very busy. Pialn COT.
tons are we'll sold up and hrm. Many Oh
the popular brands Of sheetings and shirt
ings are sold ahead and agents are lndiiier-
>ent about taking further orders except AT
value. The stock of colored goods has been
somewhat reduced and prices are on q
steady basis. Prints are moving moder-
ately from full hands at full prices. ITO
duction has been greatly curtailed. Prlnt-
ing cloths have ruled quiet, but the
demand for a week past has absorbed the
entire production, and prices are stea9y az
3sc. for 6ix6i, and 1-l6c. per yaId ioi
56xG0. Wooden fabrics move rather slowly
except some fancy makes for ladies' wear
Fine fiannels are selling to some extent,
but other grades are neglected. ManuIac'
turers are taking some orders for blankets
but buyers are not prepared 10 oPeIatt
freelv- The production of blankets mas
beeu greatly curtsiled. Fall hosiery Is
beginning to receive some attention ana
the mills are starting up.

BUTTER AND EGGs,

George NJ. Stetson, the oldest peach
packer in the United States, says that the
peach crop this year will be large and OF
good quality. Peach trees grew to less ex-
lent than usual last year, anu Tue sap ulu
not rise 10 develop the buds till the cold OF
winter. These are the most favorable con-
ditions for good crop. There will not be
quite so much fruit as last year, but 1t Will
be larger and finer, and will bring the
farmers more money than they got for the
last season. Another favorable thing is
the uniformly cold weather of the present
winter, which has kept the sap down and
prevented the buds from swelling. They
are now entirely out OF danger. and can

oREELEYs OPINION OF LAW.
YERS.

The late Horace Greeley was : man Of
strong likes and dislikes, and when he
made up his mind on anything he was
always sure to express himself in : plain
and blunt way, 20 that there could be no
Misunderstanding or false construction
placed ON what he said. In n article id.
vocating the repeal Of all laws for the col.
lection Of debts and the Abolishmsnt Of
the credit system. he touched up the
lawyers in the following style,
II hate lawyers, they do more mischief
than their heads arc worth; they cause
disorder, demoraliss every form Of equal
ity and are the chief obstacles to gov
eminent. II A lets B have his property
without payment, I do not see why G,
D, 3. F and all the rest Of the alphabet
should b called upon W police force to
get II back No such thing should BE-
attempted by law. II IL the most o
strous innovation upon mans honor and
integrity that was ever forced into the
commerce Of the world. Let . man

gambler pays his debts contracted 81 the
gambling table. He 10 mot Obliged TO
pay, but he considers them debts Of
honor. Abolish AL laws for the colleo.
ton Of debts, and thus abolish the whole
credit system; this i the only safe, true
basis; that would abolish most lawyers,

now controls the commerce Of America"

mk ~ VIZ
In deciding that the amendment to the
Constitution of the State Of Iowa pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors has not been
adopted, and that it is, therefore, of no
binding force or effect. the Supreme Court
has simply performed its duty. has done
that which it was elected to do, and .
failure to do which would have justly in
Cured the severest censure. 1t might,
therefore, be said with apparent justice,
that the Court deserves no commenda-
ton. But when it is remembered that
Iowa has an elective judiciary. that
most of the members Of this Court are
in favor Of prohibition, and that they
have been brave enough TO face a storm
of fanatical wrath in this reversal Of
their previous action, it must be admit
ted that their moral courage and Judicial
integrity have stood . severe test. and
that they and the people of Iowa are to
be congratulated on this splendid vindi-
cation Of the strength Of popular gov.
eminent.
All that stands between order and
anarchy in q State is the Constitution or
fundamental law. The most important
Of all governmental questions is the
means by which the people Of . State or
country may change the government
under which they live, OF, in other
words, amend or set aside their Constr
tuition. ALI the rights on which life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness are
based depend, in a great measure, on
this question. 1t is a question OF in
finitely greater moment than the manu-
iacture and sale of strong drinks. Every
Constitution provides means for its W
acknowledgements just what must
be done in order to change any or all OF
it, provisions. And there is no other
matter in which the builders OF govern
ments in this country have exercised so
much care as in relation to constitutional
changes.
The Federal Constitution can be
changed only by a vote Of Congress and
the concurrent action of three-fourths OF
the States through their Legislatures.
In all the States the Legislatures must,
in . certain prescribed manner, submit
amendments to the people for their rati-
fcation, and q majority Of the voters at
an election duly called must approve OF
the propositions before they can become
