The dry-goods market was destitute of inter- esting. new féatures.- A steadily improving de- mand is reported, and within the next ten days the fall trade of 1881 will be fairly under way, Prices both for cotton and woolen goods remain, firm. The demand for boots and shoes is fairly active, and a liberal movement in hats and caps, clothing, and milinery is also reported. Jobbers of groceries were busy, bothj the ¢ity and country. trade ordering freely. Prices, without an important exception, wero firm. Sugars just now show specini strength. They were advanced ige. The con- tinued warm weather militates against un act- ive movement in coffees, but they are rezarded ns good property, und values show no signs of wensening.

It is tought by some members of tho Board of Trude that the bank clearances on Friday would bave been $15,000,000 instend of $39,500,000, if the checks bad all been made outfor property delivered on September contracts. The wait- ing for checks till several hours ufter the prop- erty hus been delivered, and the party receiving it can get bis. pay from sore one else, is a very loose way of doing business. It is simply 2 re- proach to the trade that Saturdays notiflention should be required. It is in effect as follows: All parties who have delivered stulf to they don’t know who, and all those who have. re- ceived stu‘t from they don’t. know who, should eport the fact to the oflice. of the Board of ‘Trade. ‘A petition has been circulated, and obtained the required number of signatures, asking the Directors to uppoint 2 committee to devise some plan foravoiding in the futuro sucha ruck of confusion as has attended deliveries during the pest week. Bradstreet’s report of the condition of cotton shows a falling off of about £7 per cent as com- pared with the yield of last year. The belief in short crop has caused a sharp advance under a buying pressure. It Is estimated that fui 000 bales have been bought in New York on or- ders from Chicugo within x short time past. ‘The rain is and will be welcome. Fall plowing bas been delayed for want of rain, and much apprehension is expressed in regard to the crops of next year, owing to the drouth of the recent past. - AChicazo operator remarked Saturday that wheut can be shipped from ‘foledo to St. Louis at a profit. This fact wrgues that St. Louis prices are too bizh, rather than that Chiengo prices are too low. PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS~Were more active and decided- Ip stronger. Liverpool repor:ed an advance of 1s In lard, and u better demand here was induced by the belief ofa great slioriaxe in hogs and the yield of batter. ‘There was a demand for sides und hams, which served to be 1n exeass of the supply, and bold- ers stuted thut they could have sold a great den! of Doth for shipment if they had-had itto spare.

The Grand Jury yesterday completed its work and was discharged by Judge Gardner. They returned thirty-two indictments into court and found no bills ina great many cases, including those of John Elliott, charged with the murder of Officer Moloney, and Rt. L, Monroe, charged with committing abortion. The indictments were care fully filed away by the Clerk, and some of the parties named have not yet been arrested. Capt. Ben Eyster was’ in- dicted for tne murder of Schumacher, and Ed Kelly (who is still at large) for man- slaughter in. killing Officer Daniel Crowley. Indictments for murder, burglary, and rob- bery were returned against Austin byrnes, Griffith Deuton, Max Weber, Itudolph Von Hessen, and Charles Griffith, who are charged with the killing and robbery of Lazarus Stern on South Clark street. James Cunningham w indicted for the murder of his wife out in the Deering street police dis- trict. Thomas, James, and Ellen Cahill were jointly INDICTED FOR THE MUY O'BRL Lee was indicted for the murder of Charles Manstield, and John Stanners for the murder of his mistress, Lizzie Cleveland, both these being South Clark street tragedies. Asa Griffin was indicted for bigamy. ‘The Grand Jury reported that they had ex- amined into a number of cases of homicide, and in most cases indictments had been found. Some of these cases were not sup- ported by sutlicient legal evidence to convict the aceused, and the indictments werefound, as the report states, ‘more because of the apparent expectation that a Grand Jury will indict wherever a buman life has been taken, than because legal evidence was presented fixing a.crime upon anybody.” ‘The Grand Jury directed the attention of the Court to an E APPARENT ER OF OFFICER P. Wan GLIGENCE ON THE POLICE with regard to obtaining evidence in murder ¢ and eited various instances, Bernard Murphy and John Keron, for instance, are charged with stabbing John Haus. ‘The act occurred June 1, and Haus died June 25, Benjamin Eyster ‘shot John Schumacher June 29, and the man died July3, Wang Lee stabbed Charles Mansfield Jume 11, and Mans- field died in the County Hospital Aug. 1. John Stanners murdered Eliza Cleveland in a ranch on South Clark street. Edward THE PART OF Kelly is charged, with shoot- ing Officer. Dan Crowley July and Crowley lived until, Aug. 4 ‘In four of these eases there were no eye-wit- nesses but the murderer and the victim, and the Grand Jury claim that greater pains should have been taken to secure the dying declarations. ‘This was done: in one case only (that of Schumacher), and then in such amuanner as to be worse than useless. In the Lizzie Stanners case, which the jury say “shows every indication of being a most atrocrous and cold-blooded murder,” the wit- nesses Were nos forthcoming, and the whole cc. depends: ‘on the evidence of a single wit- ness, who since the night of the murder shown every inclination to conceal his know edge. CONCEALED WEAPONS. The Grand Jury reported that the habit of carrying concezied weapons had attain dangerous proportions. But they could tind no remedy for. the evil within their statutory powers. They thought that possibly the sale of pistols, revolvers, and knives might be regulated by license, and that men. carrying them should be required to wear badges. In conclusion, the jury referred the matter to the Mayor and City Council, to give it that attention which its importance demands. ‘The County Jail was pronounced to be in good condition as to cleanliness. a ‘A reporter of ‘Tne ‘Trinune questioned Police-Superintendent MeGarigle about the alleged negligence of the police in hunting up evidence in cases of homicide. ‘Phe Su- perintendent said the complaint was entirely without foundation. ‘The police not only ar— rested murde! Hodged them in jail, but followed upand keptan eye on witnesses, although after the accused passed into the hands of the Sherif this matter properly r ihe care of that officer and his The police had no autnority to de- ses, Z\'c,if they moved away, as ¢ police were power- ‘aints wdout neglect in tatements, Ar.

Such statements, to be of value as evidence, must be made by the victim when he be. fieves he is about to die. In the case of Onicer Crowley, ior instance, noboay thought he v near death. ‘he Superin- tendent telephoned for information about him only an hour or two before he died, and was informed that he was getting along all right. ie could not helieve that the pulice had been derelict in this or similar cases, and said that, considering the present strain upon the foree, which he holds to be entire- ly inadequate to the needs of the city, every thing that could be asked of them was being done. LHe fully approved the dec- Jaration of the Grand Jury regard to the carrying of concealed wi ns, and wanted to see anything done which would put 2 cheek to the dangerous practice. DE BACOURT IN AMERICA. A Frank Correspondence—What Tal- Jeyrands Friend Thought of the Americans—A Queer Campaign Story ~A Prophecy. Mme. la Comtesse de Mirabeau has just contributed to Figaro some entertaining iel- ters written forty-one years ago in America py her unele, SL De Bacourt, ‘Talleyrand’s frieng, seeretary. and literary executor, AL though interesting for many reasons, these letters are far from flattering to the Ameri- can people and American ways. Underdate of June 26, 1540, he writes from New York “Lhave just returned from New Jersey, where Lhave been visiting Mr. 1K. at his country place. ‘The park, which is quite large, isin the English form, but the grass plats are replaced by potatoes. Everywhere one sees the stump of Americanisin, though in a luxurious form. America and the “American give no “idea of an England and an Englishinan of the second or third class. ‘The mistress of the house is as faded at 40 as. a European would be at 5 and her granddaughter is already | emaciated at 20, though eighteen. months ago she was) the greatest beauty in the United States. Itap- pears that this is Fenen ly the case with nerican ladies, who are very pretty from 16 to 18, then lose their teeth, their complex- ion, and their youth: the extreme variation of elimate id to. be the cause. Maste and guests are aso Englishmen of the sec- ond rate, though in this country they pas for refined gentlemen. One sees that swould like to be so, but it is not their natur- al manner, and the constraint troubles them.” s ‘M. De Bacourt went to Washington, whence he wrote on July 4: ES “yf went yesterday to see the President at the house which they call the Executive Mansion, a pretty place built in good taste. Phe apartments, which are of zood propor- tion, are decorated with an etexant simplici- ty. A few ininutes after my arrival, a gen- tlanan entered in whom £ had some dificulty in recognizing Mr. Van Buren, he had grown so much stouier. Tie wore a black coat, trousers, and -boots, which consoled ime somewhat for not having my own uniform, which has not yet arrived. In giving him any eredentials Daddressed him in Freneh; he answered in. English, and this ceremony being accomplished he shook bands heartily and said he was charmed to see me again, remembering our former 4 tintin England. Here, they the ‘American Talleyrand,? to be much fiattered by the ¥ ing to me he repeated no less than ten times, ‘Wonderful man!?, Mr. Van &. is generally: considered to be aclever man. though more aS in regard to his personat affairs than those ofthe Nation.” - A few days later De Bacourt dined with the President. “As the dinner was given for me, I had the place of honor, though all the diplomatic corps was present—this is_a courtesy which. they show te strangers. The President took myarm and conducted me to the dining-room, The tabie furniture was elegant. The French cook has since told my valet a very curious fact which I give you: Durmg the Presiden- tial campaign people come unceremoniously to the candidate’s house for breaktastor din- ner, and threaten to vote against him it they are not satistied! ‘The, cook says that itis extremely difticult to satisfy them, and that they otten send back the things that are served to them, saying that they are bad. My servant says, gravely:.* It appears that being a President is not always agreeable.’ “Mr. Van Buren is the son of a tavern- Keeper; he has ood manners—and four sons. _ “The American of the Northern States is ‘of the English type, combined with the finesse and cleverness of the Jew: it is th ure of pride, coldness, and Dritish st ness. with Hebrew cunning, which makes of the Yankee a being apart. The Yankees are Englishmen in soul, notwithstanding the contempt which is felt for them by the natives of the mother country. It is to England that they go for their manners, their tastes, their ishions, their prejudices—even to their an- tipathy to France and nehmen. The Yankees, much more civilized than: their compatriots of the South, would, willingly admit an aristocracy with all the dexrees of superiority one finds in England; and the New England States it would ‘e@ very little change to establish same government they have in In the South, on the contrary, the England. they incline rather toward the French, and— Isayit with pain—itis the worst things about us which they adopt, ‘They are vain and jealous of the superior civilization of the North, which they desire to crush by the principles of extreme democracy. ‘There is intthe Westa third race, which iscomvosed of emigrants from the States of the North and South, Ireland, and Germany. It is called, in my opinion, to play in the United States the principal réfe, and to dominate in a few years the two others. “Teonstder the Anglo-American, race as charged with the providential mission of wopling and civilizing this .yast continent. It is accomplishing that task without rezard- ing any hindranee, and this is what explains the notorious anomalies pointed out by all who have written about America. It is not just to criticise details when the whole is grand, — majestic, impos- ing! The fault of the Americans is not in limiting their pretensions to the suc- cess they have attained, in_ persistently com- paring themselves to European nations and claiming over them superiortty of every sort. ‘This is their great fault, and one that often renders them ridiculous. = “T have lately seen Mme. Jerome Bona- parte—Miss Patterson. She is a large woman, whose face preserves still the remains of rare beauty, but without the least expression. One would ‘say that she was as good as she was tiresome.” THE HENSLEY MURDER. Keenan’s Alibt Very Badly Shattered on Rebuttal Testimony. ‘The trial of John Keenan for the murder of Mr. J. P. E. Hensley was resumed in the Criminal Court yesterday morning. The de- hesses who testi- fied that the freight car No. 5,614, in which, according to Keenan’s testimony, he and his “pals? came in from Oak Park, did ar- rive on the morning of Nov. 13, 1879. This closed the case for the defense. ‘Mr. Robert Birdsall, clerk of the North- western freight oflice, was recalled by the prosecution and used us a witness in rebut- tal. Ile testified that the ‘“delivery-book ” containing the records of cars received was kept in the freight-house, accessible to al- most evérybody. 5 Charles IL Bodeker, employed ut the sup- ply house of the Chicazo & Northwestern Railroad Company, testitied that in Novem- ber, 1879, he acted:'as switechman and night watchman on the corner of Ada and Kinzie streets. In that capacity it was his business to examine the’ “seal records ” or pieces of tin with which cars are sealed, He pro- duced his record-book, by which it appew that on the morning of Nov. 189, car No. 5,614, in which Keenan swore that he and’ his partners rode in, from Oak Park, ‘was locked and ‘sealed. ‘There were tin tags on all the doors but one, and that was securely fastened. It followed of course that no one had stolen a ride in this particu- Jar exr on that particular occasion, and when itis remembered that Keenan’s alibi rests entirely on his allegation that he and his erence that, sugzest itself. Frank C. Waite, keeper of the seal records for the Galena Division ef the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, identitied a beok a being in the diwriting of Mr, Black, his predecessor at_ the State Street Station, who js now in California. ‘The book showed that car No. 5,614 arrived at’ that station on the morning of Nov, 13, 1879, with all its doors and windows either locked or sealed, and some of them doubly secured. — Mr. Brinkerhoff, Local Freight the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Com pany, deseribed the method of sealing cars, and testified that cars could not be entered without the violation of the seals. = ‘The State’s-Attorney sait that was his case, and, the jury having retired, the taw- yers and the Court discussed the question of adjournment, tinally.concluding that, as the 3¢ could not. possibly be concluded that an atid t should be taken until Agent of TROPIC-FRUIL LAXATIVE 4, Delicious and Refreshing Fruit Lezenge, Which Serves the Purpose ef Pills and Disagreeable Purgative Medicines.
