NEW YorK, March l6.-Tho stock market to.
day has been extremely dull and almost with.
out ether feature. The total sales have boon
only $4,000 shares, n decrease from yesterday
of 1880 shares, and six stocks contributed OF
that amount over 10000 shares. In no other
case were the total sales as much as lO,OO
shares. The six stocks mentioned were 81.
Paul, Reading, Lacknwanna, Western Union,
Lake Shore, and Omaha, their activity vying
in the order named. Prices I'm the morning
were Irregular, but after Tho opening there
was weak tone, which was recovered before
II o'clock, at which time the highest prices Of
the day were generally reached.
From II to u clock the market was stcndy
to heavy, with only very slight changes. Atter
midday II was firm as a rule to the close, but
late in the afternoon the transactions were so
limited as to mako quotations little moro than
nominal except for the stocks mentioned.
The most prominent feature Of the days
operations was the strength developed IN st.
Paul, which sold as high as 81 late in the after.
noon, but lost y per cent. in tho final deal
ings, making net gain of y. The only ica'
turo to the trading IN the coal stocks was the
weakness Of Reading, which Is down ~ mt

coal stocks are n shade higher than yesterday.
81. Paul aud Duluth continues comparatively
active and strong, selling ~ high rs b6ls and
closing y lower, with net advance Of "a,
This is an advance for the past two days Of
"a per cent.
The only rnmors regarding the movement In
the stock relate to the large cash surplus said
to be In the treasury of the company. Omaha
common is also up ~ to Il. The other
changes are generally from 4 TO = per cent,
and arc about equally divided between adj
yances and declines. When 1t is remembered
that the extreme fluctuations OF the day are,
however, within n range OF only about q per
cent, the comparative stcadincss OF the market
becomes apparent. The only active stocks
that show fluctuations oil little over | per

The market closed rather weak for the active
stocks, ana firm for the rest Of the list at quota

that he is grown so greatY'
Mr.. Cullom disclaimed any intention to
keep friends in office, but protested against
secret or "star chamber proceedings that
reflected on the personal character of hon
est men. Men should not be allowed to
come sneakingly to the Postoflice Depart
ment, at the invitation of the Postmaster
General, and lodge secret complaints
against honest men. A refusal to produce
the papers would be an admission that they
could not bear the light.
Mr.. Maxey followed Mr.. Cullom. He
opposed the resolutions reported from the
majority of the committee, The real ques-
tion at Issue, he said, was one OF grave im-
portance. The Duskin case had been
merely seized on as an occasion to raise an
Issue with the President as to the point in
yolved. Mr.. ,Maxey inquired when the
Senate found authority TO condemn the
head OF a department under the circum.-
officer, could know the facts on which his
action restedy
Referring TO Mr.. Edmunds's likenlng of
the Presidents recent message 10 q COM
munication Of King Charles |, Mr.. Maxey
said the similitude did not exist. The fatal
inbecility that brought the king to the block
| by the semblance of a court-a court organ
lied to Gonyiet--wonld not be fou1aJ this
case. He who would attempt to Way the
role Of Cromwell here would find that this
| was not the country for II, nor this occasion
| the occasion for IL. The Cromwell had not
| vet been born who, In the name Of the Sem
| ate, could grasp the constitutional powers
vested IN the Executive of this republic.
| After COMMUNICATING the speeches Of Mr..
Pugh and Mr.. Kenna, Mr., MaXey proceeded
with his own argument. However much
the issue might be disguised, he said, the
real object was to ascertain the Presidents
reasons for suspensions or removals OF
officers. II was an attempt to do indirectly
what confessedly could not be done direct
ly. The report of the majority of the COM
mittee Mr.. Maxey characterized as simply
stump speech digniael with the name Of
4 a committee report.
| Complaint he said, was made in that
majority 1t that 6i3 suspensions had
been made under this administration. The

tnl of silly suit.

The case of H. a. SOWles against the
FREE PRESS association for an alleged
libel was on Saturday thrown ont Of court"
y few days ago the court decided that the
pleadings were insufficient and gave the
plaintiff 30 days in which to amend, at
the same time making an order that bail
be furnished by the plaintiff, TO the
amount of $50 for costs. As the bail was
not furnished the court ordered non
suit Thus ingloriously for those who be
gan it ends one OF the silliest ana most
uncalled for suits that was ever placed
on the calendar of Vermont court
The alleged libel was Il little item which,
IN the form of a despatch trOm 81. Adams,
was first printed by Boston newspaper,
to the effect that Mr.. Sowles had LEFT the
state at the end of II case in which ne had
been indicted for violation of United
States statute. The item was copied by
several newspapers in Vermont as well as
the FREE PRESS. 1t was inserted III the
FREE PRESS wholly without malice, and
uhe erroneous statement contained IN IT,
was corrected as soon as our attention was
called to it. Nevertheless to crafty the
petty spite of reckless and mcddlesome
attorney, the FREE PRESS was made the
victim of a libel SUIT. Preparations were
accordingly made for vigorous de
fence and investigations made at st.
AlhtuS ana elsewhere, IN Urutr 10 ne
termlne how much character the plain
TIL possessed that oula-posslbly he dam
aged, brought out many Interesting docu-
ments and facts relating to the career OF
the plaintiff, which VT. have now in our
possession. The sudden stOppage of the
suit deprives us of the opportunity to pro
duce these in court, and we lay them
away for safe keeping. Having had no
malice against Mr.. Sowles at the start,
we have none still, and the publication of
the documents in our possession Will be
determined by his own course III future
If it should eyer become necessary to
publish them. we can assure our readers
that they will make interI sting reading.
We take occasion to say, in this con
nection, that the FREE PRESS never know

any man aud when it has unwittinglv
