FRIDAY 3IORNL'G. AUG. 28, 1884 "IE SIS 88." TaruDiT, Aug. 27. Th breadstaff market ware firm and higher all around.

Wbt advanced lfjle ia Chicago, which waa partly loss before tbe close, while New York advanced IH-V6- Corn and oats wr also firm. Keceipt of wbaat war nn-nsnally light, and of corn and oaU fair. Kxporu war a moderately good averag-a. Provisions were irregular ani weak, especially for una pork, which mad a riou declin. CutmeaU were relatively steaJy.

Cotton waa firm, with a sharp apart in the August option io New York and in lir- pooL In Nw York, August mad an advance on tb day's dealings or 25 points, wbll other options varied but shigbtly. and spot prices were steady. Tat upward torn in August was clearly foreshadowed by a statamsnt from tbs Liver pool bona of E. Muigrove which we quoted a few dart tinea. There waa a remarkable fall in cattle in Chicago, and most otber markets were also weak.

Hogs were somewhat irregular, but without important changes. Coffees were higher in controlling markets, and sugars firm. Ia New York, foreign exchange was steady. Government bond were firm. Railroad bonds were quiet.

The stock market was firm and irregularly higher on a smaller volume of business. Ia Liverpool, provisions were higher, cot. ton option were higher, and breadstuff were steed v. The Detroit Scvs, in discussing; the in- cidents of cost and profit in the lumber industry, in relation to the recent strikes, shows that the groups of wages are about aa follows: highest group, $3 to $5 per day; lowest group, 1.12$ to low-eat average of all operatives in any com- pany, 1.61$, and the highest average, $3. The cost of getting lumber to the mills after purchasing it averages about the ame aa fur roaoy years past; the expense of sawing is about 75 ctnts less; and the coat of transporting tbe lumber is sharply reduced, the charge from Michigan mills, to Ohio and New York for instance, being reduced from 3 and $7 to 1.50 and $2.

The mill expenses of operation have decreased therefore, and the cost of distribution has diminished more, and yet the priws of lumber have greatly advanced. But the cost of seven cents' worth of stamiiag timber thirty years ago ia now up to $3. As old army offiocr related to a news-' paper reporter a few days ago a cock and bull story about tbe berd of camels which had been recently seen in one of the Western Territories. The surprise waa explained br this veteran by a narration of alleged importations of camels on a large scale by Prtbidcut Davis, as a possibly useful addition to bis Luggage train if it should huvo become expedient to take the Confederate armies across the Rocky Mountains. The fact is.

tbe camels were imported by the Federal Government before the beginning of tbe war, as an experiment, the theory, as we recall it, being that they might btc ine a valuable addi-'tion to -transport resources of the Western steppes aud prairies. They were in Texas when the war broke out; the Federal authorities were compelled to abandon them, and being left to their own resource they wandered oil and have 6inc grown up with the -country. Il is undoubtedly Mr. Lamar's privilege, as we suggest with all respect, to have the Government's camel herds rounded up and branded. Tom Ochiltuee would be the muu to txa the lob.

A communication from an American Consul ia Attica to tho State Department at A aMiiugtoo, Just received aud published, contains this picturesque and unique piece of intelligence: "It at pear that io 161-0 a Maodingo named Bismc ol eilmorainary iutelilKeuce aut energy, conceived the idea thai he was called of God to wage a war (or tbe ti.cprrssioa cf paganism and the cprning uf the read to tbe coast, which, in Certain districts, nave been for fenerations subjected to riWN, blackmail, aud to the pluoderir.tr of vagabond ti ibea.

If be happens to get bubted in bia present pious undertaking, Le can find a congenial situation as assistant editor of the ComntereiU Gazette. Lie wear no apparel to speak of. we take it. But, if be cornea to Cincinnati, he will only have to gird the bloody-shirt, about bis loins and of course he wouldn't mind that The Senate Con.missiou appointed to visit, in quest of commercial information and commercial treaties, all the countries of the American continent south of the United States, 'return borne, bringing a large amount of information which could have been cob ec ted more plentifully and cheaper from divers publications accessible to all. We are assured that we have but an insignificant share of the enormous commerce of the Platte country, even a less proportion indeed than enjoyed fifty years ago.

It is to bo hoped that tbe Commissioners knew these facts before leavinz Washington. Another fact, with which they ought to have been equally conversant, is also reported namely, that the maintenance of trade with South American Elates can never be realized until we control an amount of shipping in that quarter proportionate to the business enterprises contemplated. At present we have practically none. Forty to fifty steamers arrive at Buneoa Ayres monthly, but none from the United The project of a reciprocity treaty would have been heartily accepted by some South American States, but the Commission was not prepared to promise a rtddction or repeal of tbe duties on South American wools in return for the large tar.flj concessions sought at the hand of the South American States especially interested la wool. Tint Cbic-flgo Zfcuy A'tW ia disturbed because of a rumor on 'Change that East India wheat for October and November deliveries has been offering in London as low as 31 shillings per quarter, or 83 cents per bushel.

The Arte should spare itself any further uneasiness on this account, because tbe rumor referred to ia manifestly false. It is designed, of course, to fnglitcu people into selling their property for less than it is worth, but it can frighten only ignorant, According to lata official statements the cost of shipping wheal from tbe interior of India to Liverpool ranges between 50 and 70 cents per bushel; so this wheat would have to be bought of the Indian peasant at 15 to 85 cents, The actual cost of wheat at country point In India, accessible to transportation, is about 50 to 00 cent. Tbe JVcim thinks that current commercial Intelligence indicates that European market "are now mora largt-ly influenced by movements in grain-crowing countries other than the United States." This is a long jump at a disagreeable and erroneous conclusion. If the Xcm will examine tbo tallies, it will discover that tbe lull in foreign buying ia less In American markets than in others, and that while the lull baa continued, the supply of wheat afloat for Europe, from all quarters, has diminished by nearly 10,000,000 bushels In two months. TEE APPEAL 07 A DEMAGOGUE.

The political campaign of tbe year, on the Republican side, was opened in Ohio on Wednesday by Senator Jons Sbermax. He spoke at Mount Gilead. avillxge not far front Mansfield, where he lives, and to an audience which "made up," we are told. "in numbers what it lacked in enthusiasm." The Senator is never a rabble-rousing orator, albeit a demagogue, and, on this occasion, spoke with the sobriety which a man of senae usually employs when addret-sing a body of familiar constituents and neighbors with whom a budget of declamatory nonsense is unlike-ly to pass current Sir. SnERMAK is, indeed, by right of abilities, no less than inheritance, the lead er of the Republican party in tbe United States.

At present a candidate to succeed himself In the Senate, he has been for years, and is, a candidate for the Presi dency, baring a fairer outlook for the Utter than be has ever Lad before, and being pretty sure of the former. Ileuce whatever be says possesses the very greatest importance and significance. We wish we could add that the words he haa just uttered contribute something to the country's stock of intelligence and patriotism. Truly they do not. On tbe contrary, bis piogramme for the Republican puny is a combination of sophistries and incendiarisms trolled off with the artifices of a smart special pleader, wbile bis lndict-men of the Democratic Administration hardly rises to the dignity of an action for trespass before a quorum court.

31 r. Shermax is a demagogue, not a statesman, and, though he is tbe intellectual superior of Mr. Blaixc, he insensibly falls into the narrow path cut out for the Republican rank and file by tbe ready strokes of that bold and unscrupulous party leader. The burthen of the Gilead speech is the Solid South. Its author never tires of descanting on its Bourbonism.

Yet it is the Ohio Senator, and not the Southern Democrats whom be arraigns, who have learned nothing and forgotten n'rthing. Warning the 2onh against tbe return of "the heresy of State Uighis," he teems totally oblivious to the circumstance that the present Republican Supreme Court a fortress of the most rigid theonea of Slate Rights, and quite ignores the fact that the Republican members of the Electoral Commission were ao much ia love with State Rights that they could not allow a National Tribunal to go behind the returns of a State to determine the valid'ty of a vote on which hung tha ire6idency itself. He charges the late Jacob Thompson with being "a defaulter," unmindful of the truth, or unwilling to state it. that ilr. urged upon tbe Government an investigation of bis accounts as Secre tary of the Interior; that be was to tbe day of bis death good for every dollar of shortage that might have been discovered, and that he could not only get no official charge agaiust his admiuUtraiion of the affairs of the Department, but received from the late Secretary CHANDLER tbe most positive assurances that none would be made, or could be sustained.

Uuder tbe circumstances, it is difficult; to conceive why th custom of closing the various Government offices on occasions of the death of person who bad presided over them should have been disregarded in his case, particularly when it is considered that tbe present Secretary of the' Interior was a life-long friend and neighbor of Thompson. Tbera is a good deal of tbe body-6natcher in this use of a calumny sgainst the dead to arouse the prejudices of the living. Senator Shermmax refuses to admit that the Republican party waa fairly beaten in (he hat election. I tie dismisses altogether frjru his consideration the Democratic mi-nority in tbe Northern Republican Stales, aud claims the Republican minority to be the majority in the Southern Democratic State. The Mugwumps he treats wi.h a reticence, half-amazed and half-skeptical, aa if they did not know what they were about.

The following is the conclusion which be presents as the all-important coming issue in American politics. We quote: The Republican party was certainly liberal and Just to the rebels lately in arms against the country. We deprived of no political power, no blood was shed: no confiscation was bad, and more generous term were conceded to tbeui than ever before hail been extended to an uusuccessf ill party ia a civil war. Their leaden empnasized torn at the burial of our great com-niauUer, Gbaxt. The result of the settlement by the coos.itutioaal amendment at the close of tbe war waa to give them increased political power upon condition that ihe slave shouli be free aud should" be allowed to vote, and that all pott ileal disLiacclon growing out of raoe, color or previous coadidoa of servitude shouU aooliilied; aud ret to-day the Republican P-irty fe fcel by a Solid South, la wbi-jh the negra is deprived, ubsiauually.

By tal system and by the acquiescence of a rw Northern States, the mil who led ia the civil have restored to pwer, an hope, practically. tJ reverie all tha resulu of tbe war. Tai is the spicier that now haunu American politic, aal make it Jost as vital ana uecrsiiry to appeal to the Northern Stab-s to unit ugAa ajfaiost tuli evil, not so opea and arrogant as slavery, but ruore.dinarou and equally unjust.

The Republican party, as a party, was not -liberal and just" to the South. The terms made by Gen. Grast were generous to the Confederate soldiers, and Grast had to force their acceptance by the Government. Then Andhew Jorn- soh had to strain the full p.iwer of the Executive to keep the Republican party THE LOUISVILLE. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, iS35.

in CVngrcss from putting the South practically in iron, from establishing a military despotism over all the people of the South, little and big, white, and black, and from such an overthrow of the Constitution aa would, if they bad succeeded, have completely revolutionized our democratic system. Even as it wa, the Republican leaders Carried over JobSboYs head a metnira of Reennst ruction, as they called it, which made the Southern States, whilst it lasted, a hell on earth. It broke down of it own infamy and wickedness, no thank to thoea who created it for their own selfish and malign purposes. It broke down, and waa succeeded by a return to methods more consistent with tbe instinct and traditions of our people, because the good sense of tbe North was appalled by the progress of Radicalism, and the good feel-iog of tbe North shrank from inflicting upon great masses of American born and English-speaking men and women such penalties as the Republican party had imposed and was trying to perpetuate. Ever since the mad career of the Radical leaders waa checked, the condition of affairs at the South bus been continuously mending, and, all things considered, the harmouious adaptation of the two races to the new conditions is one of the wonder of the worlit, and will the admiration of future generation The present effort to stir up strife upon the old lines ia malevolent and ahort-sigbu ed.

It is based upon the falsehood that the people of the South love vioL-nce for it own sake, ami fraud for its own sake, and can not he trus ed to administer their domestic affairs cither wisely or fairly. The reverse is true. The people of Mississippi are as much concerned for good government as the people of Ohio. They love law and order as welL At tbe last election more otitrago was perpetrated in the sinjelo city of Cincinnati than in all of the Slates of tho Smith combiued. All parties, as parties, are bad enough where they have the chance to take advantages, and not worse South than North.

These things, left to are likely to balance themselves, and our real safety lies in leaving them to tho bonor and virtue of the several States of the Union, rely lug upon tbo people directly interested to rigbten wrongs that happen, sura that, in tbe long run. each community wdl set its house in ordea Perusing what has preceded it, there is in tbe ollowiug bit of oleaginous inaiacer-lty the gbastlines of a body-snatcher's prayer over tho corpse he has just dragged from its resting place; "I hope tbe war is over, and that the animosities of the tvar wlU pas away and be dead and buried.

But what "results" of tbe war are menaced by tbe Democratic parly Was it one of the stipulations of the surrender of tbe Confederates that the Republican party should be coutinued in power forever? 31 r. Sherman says his party means now to make a last appeal to "the honorable men and women of the South." Veiy well, let it be made, but let it fairly made. Certainly, hitherto, it baa never been so much aa attempted.

The only face the Republican party, as a party, baa turned to tbe South, has been a fsce red with anger. The only tones the Republican pstrty, aa a party, baa used as the South, have been tuned to tbe highest pilch of rage. The only word which the Republican party, aa a party, haa spoken to "the honorable men aud women of the South" that is. tbe great masse of tbe white popu lation has been a curse. And even now.

Of tho writer we know nothing.

She nuy be old and ugly, or the may be young aud pretty. It is one comfort that she dots not prcseut herself, as is so often tbe case, as an invalid, whose sole hope of ob taining a livelihood ia her pen, or as a widow, with helpless child; eu, who seeks to eke out a too scanty income by verse- making. Vie judge her to be a youug person of spirit, who seek to attaiu some figure in the world; and, if ho be sucb. we could put her aspirations to the blush, and cause her heart to sink within her, by thowiug her women of genius, culture, aud experience, and l-leuty of them, who have loug ago aban doued ambition, aud who ask only woik which wiil bring bread to tha hungry, aud medicine to tue sick.

Let us consider the subject, however. In a larger way. We will isuma that our correspondent la young and fair, that she bus pure emotions, tender sensibilities and noble purposes, and with training and practice, ii might reach aora measure of literary proficiency. Grant these thing and, if possessed a wise friend who could tell her the truth, he would say.

"Tor Goa's ke, and for your own, fly from this Illusion; but, if you can not lay aside your pen, lay aside hope and peace of mind and all the better aims open to the heart and bands of a good woman It is sad enough when a woman mutt detach herself from her household, her kingdom. and take the field of battle to earn her living by independent exertion. It is a crime for a woman voluntarily to Quit the arena of domestic love and duty, where God and nature placed her, at once the fortallce of morality aud faith, the sou row and resource of childhood and manhood, tho shrine, the altar, and tb citadel of human life. But of all the ways of setting a living, which tb woman, forced to get ber living, can adopt, wntin is tbe moat pre carious and exposed, and tho least re munerative. The most honest, tbe most honorable, the sincerest and the kindest answer which can be made to such letters as that which suggests this article, is the bluntest and most uncouth, to-wit: If you are not obliged to undertake a career, don't try it, and, if you are, educate for a nurse, for an accouutant, for a sales woman, go for a udiiaer, go on the stae.

adopt anything rather than the disease called "literature," for Ink Is poison, and the pen. like the javelin of tha Assyrian Prince, find first the heart of its holder, and rankles there. Tbe shores of time are strewn witb famous literary wrecks; who can number the myriads, which, nameless and unheeded, nave gone down in mid-ocean, leaving not a ripple on its calmest surface, nor a memory bo ll 1ml? Genius, which is said to be a madness, will fore its way in wisdom aud the despite, and, morn's the pityl is as irrepressible in women a in men.

When for tb truth ougut to the lesson still remains that the conventions of modern life, which a recent Euglish writer not inaptly declared to be "the prosody of art," mark within very distinct lines the paths of duty and common seuse, which lead not lea to tbe success of a career than the happiness of a home. No great work ever spraug from the morbid visions of a disordered fancy. Vanity may indeed be a part of ambition, but the grandest achievement of genius take their start in the com-inou -place of real life, and young people, particularly young women of cultivated taste, should shun as they would a pitfall, the notion that they are called to some mission not clearly defined by the circumstances which belong to their everyday existence. Women like CnauLOTTE Bronte are thrust out of the sweetness and simplicity, the serenity and happiues of home in spite of themselves. Women like GaOBGK Sand and Gkoboe Eliot came into the world of action and strife to Buffer and disturb, going hence In sorrow and ia doubt, after Uvea wasted upon the impossible.

What wie, pure, thoughtful woman would wish to follow in their footsteps 7 But they are tbe ininiortals. In their sum total of wrecbedness, no account is takeu of tbe "silent sinjrera," in whom, to tbe burning of tbe unquenchable fire of tbe unattained in conception, must be added tbe tortures of person 1 defeat aud material failure. As to our present correspondent, of wbobe personality we know nothing, let her bethink herself seriously of these rough words, which are not ill-intended in their nor at heart ungracious; let ber cease to wish to be famous and learn to wish only to do good; let her, if she must write, find in her local paper a more than sufficient vehicle of communication with tbe public, and, utilizing this, let ber deliver sucb preachments aa she has to deliver to those with, whose cbur actcr and needs she ia best acquainted. Tbus mny she try her wings about tbe parent nest. And if tbe sacred gift be hers; if she be of Goo's holy martyrdom, sent into the world to labor and to suffer, she will come to her kingdom, and its crown of thorns shall be placed upon her brow and all the insignia of sorrow shall be blazoned upon her bosom.

But if, io niticy, sue is reserved for a happier fata, and. instead of sucb a career as even poor AMELIA Welbt had, she is destined to grace a home, whose blessing ia its obscurity, she may find in these lines not the rebuke with which she will now dismiss them, perhaps in wounded pride, or. worse, iu angered vanii ty, but some hints for making a husband happier, and sumo suggestions toward tbe better of a house full of children.
