Occasionally some rampant Republican remark, with apparent sincerity, that the prolongation of the war has been and i attribuUble to Democratic influences. A brief consideration of the facta in the ease cannot but dispel ail tucb Illusions, if auch they be. From the beginning the entire North has been practically a unit for the suppression of the rebellion by force of arm, or any agencies the Administration might employ to accomplish that purpose. Every dollar and erery man , that the Government haä demanded hare been promptly furnished. There hate been dTiffereticM of opinion as to the causes of the 'war; the manner of its prosecution; the objects to be accomplished, and even as to whether anion and peace could be secared by force of .trmj; but in all there has been no practical opposition to . the Government, or resistance to Its mandates. . Taxe bare been paid. Reveuuej have been collected. Erery law enacted by the party in power, and every call and proclamation of the President have been obeyed and complied with. The Democratic partr has plceJiio obstructions in the way of the Administration even in the States wh ere they bad the power to do so. These are the facts in the case, am such will be the reCord of history. Where, then, rests the responsibility for the management of public affairs md the policy which has cost the nation the lives of hundreds of thousands of men and put the country on the road to bankruptcy? To use the language of Mr. LixcoLX, is it not clearlj with those who have been running the go?ernment since the 4th of March, 1P61? Who eL-e can be responsible but the men who had the entire power of the government at their control? The war would have been of but short duration, if it er er had been begun, if the perpetuation of party rule, had not Overriden every other consideration. Partisanship bas been the cau.se of the prolongation or tbewir and the reason of its present gigantic proportions. The leaders of the party in power bare been more anxious to crush the Democratic party then to overthrow the rebellion. That spirit animates the administration and its immediate supporters to-day. Every act and every sentiment which comes from them present the indubitable evidence of the truthfulness of this charge. We repeat that no honest and sensible man can arrive at any other conclusion than that the continuance of the present party rule must result in disintegration and national ruin. UnautUorlzed statement. In the afternoon report the statement i mide that Gen Grant says the capture of Richmond is only a question of time, and that he is conSdeut of bis ability to take it. It should be remembered that this statement is made by a correspondent. It is not official, and the probability is that the Lieutenant General did not make the assertion. The great question now being de bated on the banks of the Chickahominy is very, very far from being decided. We have confidence in Grant's success, but ire all knote that his defeat it among the possibilities. IMac no reliance upon such random, unauthorized state ments as the one alluded to. We copy the foregoing from the Lafayette Journal, an intensely "loyal" sheet. If a Democratic paper bad expressed precisely the same sentiments even the Journal would have de nounced it as giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy by publishing statements calculated to discourage the probable success of our armies in the field. As the Journal states, Oen. Chant has said but little in regard to his present campaign. The reports of his doing. come through other channels. lie is a man of action, not a rainglorious boaster, nor does he commit the folly of publishing. bis purposes to the world. With the Journal we say there bas been great confidence in Grant's success. He had all the men placed at his disposal that be asked for and the whole power of the government to aid him. . It was expected that bis campaign would hare been a success through overpowering numbers and bis well known pertiuacity of purpose. . Not withstanding these advantages, we can aain say with the Journal that "ire all k note his dt je at is among the possibilities." In the languspe of holy writ, "The battle is not always to the swift, or the race to the strong." The country has been grossly deceived by unauthorized statements, even through official channels, until the public mind would not be surprised, and we nay even say disappointed, if some serious disaster should occur to our arms. Quoting vgaia from our co temporary, we repeat its impression that "the great question now being debated on the banks of the Chickahominy is very, very far from be ing 'decided." It is a problem than none bare the foresight to solve. A preacher in ODe of our pulpit, a few Sundays ago, after declaring hira;lf to be in Abolitionist and a supporter of the Adminis tration, speaking as an Ambassador of Heaven, gave it as his conviction that we could not ex pect the triumph of our arms and the overthrow of the rebellion, until the nation bad repented of its sins and brought forth fruit meet for repent anc. If this moral view of the questioti is cor rect, then the debate "on the bauks of the Chickahooiiny is vcrv, very fir from beirn: de cided." We do not desire to prophesy evil, but it is wroug, almost a crime, for thoe ia power to deceive the people, and to excite expectation which canr.ot be reaJiil. SXttJtS AT THE CONSTITUTION TX TTIE Sesatk. Jttilge CoHamer, Senator from Vermont, is one of the few statomen left of the Clay ami Webster school. In the matter of ability, and experience in public life he lead the pTPscnt senate. v From hi eat in that lerncrated IhhIv be lat week testified to the rharacter of his partisan compeers in these words: I do not wish to occupy the time of the n-n-ate by making any remarks on the constitution of the United States. I think it a subject alrnn.t of derision here with many pentlemen ir is an object of derision. A man is sneered at fur mentioning the constitution, and if he has a ticcent respect for it and for his ofvn oath he is railed a 'timid' man. I do not vfh to take np mnch of the attention of a bodyhere such a subject is treated in auch a manne c." No man of intelligence will deny the justice of this rebuke. And yet these men who daily sneer at the constitution who habitually deride the only and the fundamental law of or Union claim to b the exclusive friends of the jvernment and are sustained in their works of blasphemy and ruin br a majority of the people of the northern tutesf

Opinion of an Of fleer l hut !ta been fialned The ,.. Me ye rceary The I. Ire of Saldlers. YTaahisgto, J use I was periuiitc-J it re id a private letter this niomicj: from a General of Lieh raiA in the Army of the I'oiomac to a friend In Ibis city, ia Lieh he ue the following language: "We hare now been ßpbtlrisj three consecutive week, all the time looking to the objective point of Kichmond. In all the battles and strategic movements I thick the utmost miüttry skill has been displayed by the commanding General. One thins is certain beyond pcradventure, that General Graut is a military geniu. Iu all bit movements thus far he ha ued, practically, his own ideas and plans in attacking or countering the blows of the enemy, and although he hv been tcveral miles from the rcene of the great conflict, be bas so familiarized himself with the topography of the country, the strength and location of tbe enemy, and the probabilities of their point of attack, that he has never failed to meet them man to man, and generativ with successful results. Rut I reu! confers after all this fightine and loss of life, it is natural enough to inquire what bave we gamed? Without wishing to criticise my superiors, or set raj poor yA ment against thtir's. I can only say simply tbit we hre g aii.ed nothing. After two anJ a half years marching and countermarching with this army, I now find myself on tbe same ground that" I was on with AlcClclUn two years ago, with this exception, tint the enemy have improved every point fifty per cent. These are the pUiu facti, hs time alone will tell. I am in for the war, however, aud hall do ray duty, Ood being my helper, to carry out every order of my superiors. If I fall, I could not wish to die in a nobler cauee that of ray country." Thexe are plain outspoken sentences, just such as would fall from the lips of a soldier. The point we wish to make iu them is this, tht after all the sanguinary bait'es we bare been reading about, and the loas and maiming of to many good, brave and noblo men, the Army of tbe Potomac has arrived at a point where it was two years aco. We beg to make this amendment to this officer's opiniou. and say that (Jen. Grant does not occupy the iJentieal grounds' that (Jen. McCIellao did, and it will eot him one or two battles more before be does this. The affair of the 4th instant shows with what tenacity the enemy are prepared to defeud their capital. In some of the newspaper reports referred to, the public were given to understand that our troops captured tbe fir?t line of the defeues of" Jticlimotif, when the truth is we attempted, but dil not succeed In carrying an exterior line of rifle pife, and thU with- a loss of three thou-taud killed, wounded ai d missing. Amou these, three ot the bravest Colonels in tbe Army of tbe rotomao Colonels li iskell, Porter and Morris. General Grant's army at present occupies no particular position or line it is constantly on tbe move to get a position known only to the commanding General and one or two ollicers in his courldenee. It i a settled conclusion among high-ranked officers here, and the written opinions of our Generals in the field, that our army must settle down to the oucrous duties of a lege, und to that end entrenching tools by the cargo have been s-ent to Whi'.e House, and a few of tbe uns known as- "Swamp Angels" will soon be en route for the same poiut. ; A captain of engineers, who has been occupying a quiet dek in this city ever since the war commenced, says that Itichmond is' within our grasp. 'and iu time we hope to apply the proper means to secure it. When asked what the?e means are. he naively replied, to take an army of 400,000 men in front of the. city and carry it by assault, even1 at tbe cost of half our army. This is a fair specimen of the car el es i maimer in which educated West Point, if you please, military men, value the lives of our citizen soldiers! Correspondence of th State Sentinel. An Overland Trip to CalifornitiIMmcs by lite Way. St. JosLru, Mo., June '2, lcCl. ila. Em tor: IJIessed is the man who inreuted "first class hotels." He needs the prayers of the righteous to save him. Apt illustrations of the saving, "a fool and his money are soon parted," nothing can be more incompatible than such institutions to tbe tastes and habits of a country gcntlemau and family. I always aoci ited them with heavy whiskered gamblers and broken down libertines. Spaeious halN. jjrand parlors, pretty Irish girls, finikin, daiuty, gweet little clerks of the "dem foine" order, printed bills of fare with French names for very common dishes poorly prepated, with servants whose attentions to your wants are exactly proportioned to the consequence they invest you with, constitute the mnjor part of the attractions of a "first class hotel." You are u tiered into the dining room by a fancy looking steward, who, with a keen glance at your wearing apparel, at once reads your social status, and lip4 the wink to the servants. You are seated at a respectable distance from the McFlimseys, so that jour plebci iu presence may not oftend their aristocratic pretensions. You are presented with a bill of fare. You order up. meat with a French name to it, and are surprised when it does not come, which is never the case until everybody else is served, that you have a very small bit of beef, badly cooked, and presenting inimitable evidence of little manipulation, notwithstanding its changed name, since it came from tbe bullock yesterday. You feel then very much like bailors of Martinsrille wheu presented with a bill of fare at the Palmer House, expresed him.elf, "If that's vour bill, fill it." -In truth, the whole bill, filled at their rates, would scarce suffice for a decent meal. There is a class who enjoy, to the uttermost, these order your meal houses. They look fierce, and with an air of command plainly saying "I've beeu aroused," deliver their orders with an emphasis admitting of no denial. Impudence, at such an institution, is a necessity. Modesty, however commendable a virtue elsewhere, is here the handmaiden of starvation, and, trans lated into the hotel idiom, means verdancy. Wayfaring friend, unless you are a faded beauty in silks, a gambler with huge whiskers and a ponderous watch chain, or a railroad conductor, pasa by these immense piles of brick jelept First Class Hotels, unless you feel inclined, like cavalry horses, to feed on fence rails. A second-rate house, after the manner of your fathers, with loaded tables and food within reach, will meet your wants and accord with your habits. Besides, you there pay for food, and not furni ture. I make these observations out of no spite to any one, but rather as a warning to travelers, who, like myself, hate show, and prefer the sub stance to the shadow. From the balcony of the house where I am now writing can be seen an encampment of 17. S. soldiers, cavalry and mounted infantry. They are well behaved here, and are punished severely whenever they commit depredations upon person or propertv. The consequence is, no inconvenience is felt at their presence. I doubt cot, too, a man dicht express a dissenting opiuion, possibly a doubt of the propriety of some of the measures of policy of the present Federal Administration, without incurring their displeasure. This city claims fourteen thousand inhabitants, and is in the heart of as fine a country as can be found in the West, for soil acd productions. But such wiuds! Hooped skirts and straw h its, unless well cabled, suffer; and so do the eyes of the luckless wight who travels with his face to these simoons of sand and dust. Throughout all the country west of tbe MiLiippi to the foot of the Rocky Mountah-is. thee wind prevail, and hence the climate is changeable and disigreeible. Otherwise no country on earth can compare with it in natural advantage.. Though the actual frontier U pushed many hundred tnile west of this, yet the town wears the habit of a border town.

Jrffrrkon Iinvl' lruce rnrof. When the Hun. Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Southern Cor.federa'-T. applied fur a personal intrrrifw with Mr. Lincoln, and was curllv and arroantlr denied admission with in oar line, upon pint of etiquette, the Daily N e ! expressed sorrow aud surprise that theadmiuiiratio should have thus dismissed an op portunity to .open a path of negotiation that might nave leu to an honorable peace. The administration journals, at the time, insisted that Mr. Stephens's mission was entirely disconnected

with any purpose of a diplomatic nature, and that it referred exclusively to a military question. We advanced arguments to prove the contrary, and exposed the absurdity of the supposition that a statesman, of such superior abilities as Mr. Stephen, and one of such high official grade in the Confederacy, should have been dispatched upon an errand less important than the discussion of tbe radical points of diZeresce between the sections. We publish to day a recent correspondence between Jefferson Davis and Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, that proves that we were correct in our estimate of Mr. Stephens' mis.-ion; and that further prove bow obstiuate and systematic have been this administration in closing all the aver.ues through which the it.8uctice of reconduction might enter. When we reflect upon the terrible sacrifice of life that bas occurred since that time, and of the new obstacles to com promise that bave been engendered, it is impossi b!e for the patriot and the humane man to re presa bis indignation at the heartless treachery of those officials who, for their own purposes, could thus coldly shut the door in the face of a messenger of peace. Mr. DarLssay: "We bare made three distinct efforts to communicate with the authorities at Washington, and have been Invariably unsuccessful. Iu regard to Mr. Stephen's mission, he says: "The third time, a few months ago, a gentleman was seDt whose position, character and reputation were such as to insure his reception, if the enemy were not determined to receive no proposition whatever from the government. Vice President Stepheus made a patriotic tender of his services in the hope of beinj able to promote the cause of humanity, and although little belief was entertained of his success, I cheerfully yielded to his su?ccstion. that the experiment should be tried. The enemy refused to let him pass through their lines or to bold any conference with thcra. He was stopped before he ereo reached Fortress Monroe on hit way to Washington." Wo should not have referred so pointedly to this correspondence bad not the Black Republican press, at the time of Mr. Stephens' rejection, sought to deceive the public and to exculpate Mr. Lincoln by repeated assertions that the proposed interview had nothing whatever to do with peace nejotiations. But wc wish the people to appreciate the extent to which the acts of deception have been practised, to bliud the public as to the real state of affairs. It would not have suited Mr. Lincoln's purpose to hare had the war terminated at that time, because, in the first place, the abolition plot had not ripened, and. in the second place, his arrangements for retaining the I'reideucy were not matured, He, therefore, sent a discourteous aud foolish answer of rejectiou to Mr. Stephen's request for an interview, knowing that puch a course would so effectually disgust the Southern people as to render any further advances on their p.irt improbable. At the same time he instructed his organs to mislead the Northern people by asserting that Mr. Stephens' mission was of no political importance, having reference exclusively to an exchange of prisoners. Hut, in the cour?e of time, the truth starts from its hiding phtce. and coufrunts the falsifier. We were eure, then, that Mr. Stephens came up on ac errand of mercy, of huminity and patriotism to appeal to the rulers of the North for negotiation, with a view to the peaceable settle ment of differences. His mission was one of peace, aud for that reason was thwarted by Mr Lincoln. In that, as in all other things, the Administration pursued a policy tending to exasperate the Southern people and to prolong the war. To have held a conference with Alexander II. Stephens, upon whatever subject, would bave disgraced no coverument and wronged no cause; for whatever his political creed may be, he is a statesman, a gentleman, and an honorable, conscientious and right-hearted man. That wc all know, and as such, he is the peer of the best in Washington. When he asked admission at the threshold of our Council Cham bers, wc must have known that no dishonorable motive brought him there; and when our Chief Magistrate turned his back upon him, he likewise turned away from a hope that was offering to heal the wounds of our poor country. In dictating the brief lines that denied the interview, be dictated the death warrants of hundreds of thousands of our countrymen whom Mr. Stephens would have spared, but whom Abraham Lincoln doomed to the slaughter pens, that in their blood might be written the realization of his schemes.

A Hanker', Ifrokers' and JHerchuiif, Club Home The II igot Thin? on cite ContinentAmericans, whose mission seems to be to improve eveything, have now made up their minds to improve upon the foreign ide i of a club. Our Ieople cannot content themselves with a mere restaurant and lounging place They hive neither time nor inclination to display themselres iu club windows and. ogle tbe ladies that pass by. Ther must mingle buisiness with pleasure and profit with amusement. This peculiarity sdfScieutly explains why the ordinary kind ot clubs have always been comparatively unpopular here. At last a company of gentlemen here have organized and established an American club, to be conducted upon American principles. It is located on Fifth Avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets; and a brief description of its internal arrangements aud the purposes to which it is to be devoted will convince the most skeptical that its originator, Mr. II. St. C. Eytinge, has hit upon a decidedly novel, original and brilliant idea, and that New York is about to have a new sensation. The main Club House is browu stone, live stories high, twenty eight feet wido and 12U feet deep, with a bay window fronting on the Avenue. On the rear a large building hi3 been erected, with two entrances on Fifth Avenue and one on Twenty second street. This rear hall is to be used as a bourse, or evening exchange, and will be accessible both to the members of the club and to the geueral public. A regular call of stocks will be made there everv evening. But, to beg!n at the beginning, let us enter the club house from the basement. Here wc find a telegraph olhce and an elegant smoking room. A wide hall passes these departments and leads back to the ale and wine room, which is to be superintended by Chris. O'Conuet, K?q.t and so np stairs to the Bourse All of these rooms are large, and are to be splendidly furnished. The articles for sale in Mr. O'Conner's department will be of the first quality, selected with the greatest care. The spacious kitchens are not yet fitted up. Mr. A. Stetson, of the Astor House, is cutrusted with the immense responsibility of se lecting the artists in this most important portion of the establishment. Passing up stairs to the Bourse, we enter an immense hill, which will accommodate, with the talon f, a thousaud people. White was the arch itect of this hall, and has ventilated it' perfectly, and in every way fitted it up for a first class evening stock exchtnc. Here the sterling moneyed men of New York will meet nightly to gain fortunes upon stocks and transact all their private business. Commerce and business are not the etiquette of other clubs; but they are of this. The bankers, the brokers aud the merchants are all most comfortably j rovidei for, and none of them should tail to avail tbemseives of these advantages. The Club bulletin will hourly announce the exact state of the markets. The arrivals mid departure? ot ships will be recorded. A banking fund will be kept in the Club ?fe to change checks for members after banking hours. The larjre windows of the intiu s-tioon open upon the Bourse. This saloon consists of three I immense rooms en puite. These are all suraptu-1 nuly furnished in different aty tcs. but ilh exrjui- j site taste and harmonious effect. The saloon j will be the reception room of the Club, and is brilliantly lighted and supplied with every possi- I ble convenience. It opcrs upon a magnificent! bill, through wb'ch a wide staircase leids to the I second rtory. This whole floor is thrown into a restaurant, seating about two hundred persons. The service of silver and crvsul for this restaurant is mst cost! v. Here members will be served wiili all the dtMCiciei aiid ubiUDthh of the eo!i. at the simple cost of material, and with wir.es ot the rarest vlutages. A hair dre-s-vZ saloon and bathing room are upou each floor. Indeed, r.t thir.g is wanting which .the most refined taste and lavish expenditure can supply. The third floor is divided into apartments f. r iri-to i riif's. whit, chess and dreslL rooms. Tbo-e mar be thrown en ?u!ie for a large pirty j il required. Each of these rooms is furnished ! in a style contrasting with the other?, and it is baid to s-.ay which is the most beautiful. The Urge rear room, however, is the most gorgeous. Splendid dormitories, for the use of members, are also upon tais floor. All the standard journals of the world will be on file here. All of the European languages will be spoken

by the servant) in attcndiDce, as many of the foreign Consuls and our foreign residents bave already joined the Club, aDi the diplomatic corps will be very fully represented in the mem bership. In this re?pect, as in all others, there af pers to be the utmost solicitude to provide for the comfort and convcn'er.ce of those connected with the institution. The fourth story consists of a spacious hall, entirely devoted to a billiard saloon. Six large tables will be et up A well known profeasorof the art will take charge of this saloon, and it will certainly be superior to almost any other billiard saloon in tbe city. Although tbia is a secondary feature in comparison with tbe Stock Exchacge, still the same care 's evident ia all its appointments. Tbe cost of the Club House, with its parapherhalii, has been alout $123,000. The cost of the silver alone amounts to $20,000. The aunual dues are fixed at $100. Tbe location is the best in the city, central, and easily accessible from down or up town. Arrangements have been made for carriages for the use of the Club. The membership is already very large, and is rapidly increasing, as the design of the Club and the perfection of its details become belter known. The strictest inquiry as to character determines the applications for the membership; for it is one of the laws of the Club, as unalterable as those of the Medes and Peisians, that no irresponsible person can be admitted. Perhaps this feature, more than any oilier, has draw u together the leading bankers, merchants and business men the true representatives of the metropolis in the organization of this institution. We predict for It remarkable success, and expect to see it outlive all of the mere imitatious of European cliques that have hitherto usirpcd and monopolized the name of club in this city.

From tbe Cincicuati Trice Current, June 8. Financial und Commercial Siiiumury for flip Vixst Week. Gold has fluctuated between JUO and 11)4 during the week, and the murket for it not much excited :.t any time; but it is evident that nothing h;is yet been atcorntdi.-hed by the army of a sufficient decisive character to lead to that confidence which is necessary to cause a decline in gold. It is true that Grant bas pushed bis lines close up to Itichmond, but should he attempt to take the place by regular iege approaches, it is clear that it is some time before Itichmond will fall; but should he be able to hem the rebel army in there, and cut off the supplies, then the speedy surrender would be inevitable. In any event, it is clear that tho;e who expect Itichmond will fall fall in a week or two, are doomed to disappointment. These are the reasons why jrold does not go down. Sherman has pressed forward during the week, aud at the latest advices was within fifteen or twenty miles of Atlanta, where it is supposed great battle will be fought. All that can be said of the stato of military affairs just now is that our commanders in Virginia and Georgia have been successful in all their movements, so far, but without any decisive re suits. The money market has been quite stringent. with a pressing demand, chiefly from speculators, and rates of interest advanced fully U per cent., the closing rates in the open market being 10 12 per cent. Indeed, at the close it was easy to make loans on the best security at the latter rate. This pressure is being felt in all departments of trade to a greater or less extent, and has made conservative dealers mote cautious. An immense amount of produce is now held by specu lators, including pork, floiir, whisky and lard, which should have gone forward long ago. and performed its legitimate mission in commerce and finauce; and necessarily to bold this produce an unusual large amount of money is indispensably necessary. There h is not been much done in Government paper, holders preferring to use it as collateral upon which to borrow money. Currency has been in light supply, and a considerable amount bas been brought out from New York, and in this has been developed the fact that the New York bankers are short in tha supply of legal tender currency, for instead thereof they bave chiefly paid out in response to orders from this market the o per c ent, legal tenders. Orders on Washington are dull at l;l.j2 discount, aud vouchers at 3).jd discount; 5 20s are offered at 10G'.. The demand for Government bonds is light, and must remain so pending the taking of the new 6 per cent. loan now about to be offered. The subscription to the 10-40 bonds has diminished perceptibly. Exchange has been dull and rates somewhat irregular during the week, but they did not change essentially. The quotations for coin, exchange and Government paper at the close were as follows: BLTIXu. New York .'1-I0dis. Gold yolii rrem. Silver "SäO prem. Orders oc Waskington.OSU' Quartermasters Vouchers, city SGi9S.ji SELLING 30 dis par O-iaiOj prem S prem. The weather has beeu quite hot during the week, with but a small amount of raiti, but there has been no wact of it felt so fir in this section, and vegetation bas progressed quite rapidly. Iu the Northwestern States, it bas been Quite dry and the crops, we are told, need rain badly; but notwithstanding, speaking in general terms, the agricultural interest are in a good and promising condition, and the corn is growing finely and looks very healthy. There can be no doubt now that the biis is laid for an immense large corn crop; all being necessary to make it so is a favorable season heneeforward. The accounts from the growing wheat are very encouraging, and we are informed that grass is verv forward and unusually good. Business in general continues moderately active, but without any especial excitement in any department. Flour has not changed, and the demand has been but moderate and chiefly of a local nature, but a small amount having been bought by speculators, which must be attributed in part to the closeness of the money market, for an impor tant advance has been established in New York. Wheat declined 7c per bushel, and closes dull. Corn has been somewhat irregular; ear declined to $1 05 and $1 10, whilst shelled has been iu better demand and advanced to $1 IS, but again fell back to $1 1G. Oats have been dull at 82c. Itye declined to $1 Cö, and closes dull. No demand for barley, and prices are nominal. Whiskey ruled firm at $1 30 up to Monday, when a pressure to sell put prices down "2c; but yesterday, after it was known that the Senate had passed the tax bill, as reported to it by the committee, so fir as the tax on Whisky was involved, the demand became active, and all to be had at $1 23 was taken. The clauses in the bill, relating to whisky, as they now stand, taxes all made after June 1st $1; after October 1st $1 25, and after January 1st, 18C5, St 0- The stock on band is not taxed. It is probable that the bill will pass the House, without taxing the stock on band, for it has been rumored, and the rumor is generally credited, that a fund of one hundred thousand dollars has been subscribed by the holders of the article, to be paid tr somebody, in case the stock ou hand is not taxed. If t!:e maxim Is true that "every ram has his price," then there need be little fear ; the fpat will hA rfimrliliP(l . and the nnhlip PT ! - i r - - chequer minus ten million dollars or so. Cutter h is been iu better supply, and prices declined 4 (l 5c. Cheee unchanged. There has been a good jobbing demand for groceries without essenti il change iu prices. Mess pork has been active, and a large bu-ine was done in the fore part of the week at $30, but holders having withdrawn from the mirket. there lus been little or nothing done during the last three days. It is stated that $31(g31 5) would be paid for! city brands: if eo it is evident thit there are no j sellers at these rates, because thore have been 1 no sales. This demand has been pjeculative al together, based upon what operators regard a : strong probability, if not au absolute certaiaty, ; of a shorter croo of pork next f-ea-on than h.t been known. The probabilities are that if the corn crop is ood. there will be a fair supply of pork; but be that as i; may, a good supply of , old pork, rr. ide ud from the crot-s of three sea sons, will pass over to ccxt season, and a large surplus of the List crop of lird will also be intact. There is t o doubt in our mind that an un uuillv larce proportion of the lard and barrel perk of 1C3-I st:il in the Wet. Lard advanced to 14c. and bulk sides to 12. Nit much done in bacon, and prices are nomi it illy unchanged. ITm rather dull and demand light. Linseed oil dull, and prices iu the lare way nominal at $1 4?.
