The Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, May o7.-The wheat mar
ket at the opening this morning was
wild, nervous and unsettled. All sorts
of prices were quotable, the legitimate
differences between options being lost
sight of, September, at times, selling
above July, and at others at the same
price. First trades averaged from to
il above the close of Saturday, or in
the neighborhood of the price where
the curb trading was done. The buy
ing this morning was enormous, each
broker holding bunch of orders when
he came on the floor. There was good
selling, however, and prices made little
Roadway against the offerings. The
exciting scenes of the past two or three
weeks were re.enacted, it being fully
half an hour before the pit showed any
prospect of quieting down. Fully as
man persons appeared as sp' eta 5ors
as on any day yet, outside interest," be-
ing intense. There were very few re-
ports OF frost last night. Cables were
firm and higher.
New YORK, May 27.-The contra,
dictory stories about the condition oil
the wheat crop is making stock opera
tors cautious and consequently the
trading at the board shows q decided
falling off in volume.

The Northern Presbyterians.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 27.-At the
last days session of the General Assem-
bly, this morning an Overture from the
synod OF India asking for reply to a
memorial upon the subject of baptism
of polygamous converts was considered.
Ca Mohammaden had been admitted to
the church and he was allowed to re-
tain both wives in his house) The
matter was laid before the committee
on cbul en- polity and the answer was
that no action be taken on the ground
that according to the book of rules
polygamous marriage Was forbidden.
DR.. Morrison urged that the recogni'
ton of polygamous marriages by the
church in India was absolutely neces-
sary. Any other rule, he said, would
rule David out of the church. After a
spirited debate the whole matter was
referred back to the committee on
church polily with instructions to
amend its answer.

Gov. EVANS AND SENATOR BUTLER.
The South Carolina constitution case,
which will be heard in Richmond
Tuesday, has developed bad blood
between Governor Evans and Senator
Butler of that State. Gov. Evans &C.
cused the ex-senator of holding eau
cuses in Columbia at private houses,
having the ear of the court, and hold
ing the foot of the chancellor, and said
be was in favor of placing the respon-
sibility where it belongs and not
blaming the poor, lean, hungry
counsel, who are barking merely
for a bone, but visiting the sin
upon the heads of the arch con-
spirators. Senator Butler has retorted
by saying the Governor is guilty of
uttering a foolish falsehood and of
being a sufferer of swell head" BE fur
Their says the Governors powers of dis.
elimination between right and wrong,
truth and falsehood, fair criticism and
SANDER, are so vague and flmy that
be ought perhaps to be regarded as an
object of pity and contempt, rather
then indignance and resentment.

THOUGH free schools and cheap news
napers abound every where IN 'h's
country. thousands of voters really oe :
live that if the silver niue owners De
allowed to nave every fifty cents worth
Of their product coined into a dollar
t,ev the voters referred to, would get
dollars without having to work tor
them, as they are now forced to DO.
When the Mills bill was the Chief
public question, thousands of country
people believed that the object Of that
bill was to force them to sell their grain
for whatever their local mills might
choose to pay for it. But still the school
tax in Alexandria county is forty cents
on the hundred dollars, and the county
is flooded with one cent newspapers,
and though it went republican at the
recent election, the silverites will sweep
il at the next one. Education doesu'

THE EX-CoNFEDERATEs who will start
from Washington tomorrow for Chicago
to participate in the ceremonies attenc-
ing the dedication of the monument
erected to the six hundred Confederate
soldiers buried there, have been in
formed that the exhibition of no rebel"
flag, nor the utterance ofany "disloyal
sentiment, will be permitted there.
Taste is curious thing, and though
the ex-Confederates who will take the
proposed trip may think they arr
doing well, moro are convinced
that they are doing otherwise.
The cost of the monument and
of the dedicatory ceremonies would
have gone far toward paying the ex-
pense of bringing the remains of the
soldiers who died at Johnston's Island
back to the sunny land in defense OF
which they sacrificed their lives.

one financially, will. think, disap-
point the evil prophecies of its oppo-

measure, realized the hopeful predic-
