CHICAGO, July 12-Between 1000 and u
500 cattle were unloaded here to-day, 1850

scarcely more than half of the supply
number than the pens held at any time
within the last two weeks. Prices were
lower. not because of any present over
supply, but by reason of anticipated heavy
receipts and the sharp decline within the
last two or three days at Eastern and
to deprsss values was the strike among the
local butchers. The sales reported did not
show any important advance on the prices
ruling when the strike began. The market
is not yet in shape TO absorb the usual
supplies. and unless receipts are kept down
They are already 25a50c lower than at any
time last week. Hogs were lower. Buyers
were inclined TO invest. but the strike of
the butchers threatened 10 seriously inter

declined TO &05.25 for common 10 best

the strike began of l0Nl5c per 100 lbs. But

eeople,
Did our executive committee
choose this method SO as to strike
still another blow at the farmers, la
boring men, masses, by nominating
someone who will vote against the in
terests of these already enslaved
classes? Or was it done to prevent
the election of a new committee
What was your object, gentlemen
Speak out If you can aud dare.

ABOUT SENATOR BLANCHARD.
NJ \RTIN.

Justice White has at last sent IN
bis resignation "a United States Sen
ator His resignation came by wire,
and the Governor at once, without
delay appointed Ho' \. g. Blanch
ard for the vacancy. The appoint
ment Of Blanchard created no sur
prise AZ it was more than expected.
Mr. Blanchard, will, we have no
loubt, make III able aad capable
Senator. Mr.. Blanchard has served
with credit aud distinction nearly
fourteen ycars in the lower house,
and he will carry with him to the up
per house the benefit Of those years Of
ripe expernce, and will at cnce take
u foremost rank IN the Senate
We believe the appointment to be-
good one. Mr. Blanchard is very
able man. and was, we suppose, the
logical caudete for the vacancy.
We have been astaunch supporter
Of Blanchard for Senator for several
years. And when the news Of
Whites elevation first came to us,
we declared ourselves for q North
Louisiana man, and thought Blanch
ard he man. But when he sent that
telegram to Carter and Garland in
reference to sugar, we weakened in
our support: And when he aban-
doned his post at Washington and
made that unseemly and uudignified
trip to Louisiana to personally ask
and beg the appointment from the
governor. We thought that little
too much; it made us sick Of our
choice; he got Just little too sweet
and showed how hungry be was for
} the job. We once supported him but
now no more. We are sorry he got
, the appointment, and hope he will
4 fail Of election when the Legislature
! meets and true, straightforward.
+ down man for instance q man like
: Charles } Boatner, be elected -
Springfield Bee.
Q How does Mr. Boatner stand On
the anti-option bill, brother? Had
i not the people better fully under
stand this before they give him their
support? Remember this question
/, is likewise very important one be-
fore the people and we want one who
- is sound on it to represent us il
;, either branch Of Congress.
