There are general co:piaints throughout the country ef the exorbitant prices demanded by Gealers for all the necessaries of hfe, particn-. arly articles of food. What is true of other sections, spplies with double force in this city. Many families. who, before the war, lived at Jenst comfortably on moderate incomes, now find themselves obliged to dispense with maay arucles whic ey deemed necessary. Meats, Vegetables, and groceries, which seem to be affected every few weeks with the “gold | fever,” go up as the precious metal advances» @nd stay up, no matter how low gold comes down. until the néxt rise, when we have nother turn of the screw. Besides, dealers in all the necessaries ot life, continually threaten that things will advance before the winter comes. The extortions complained of are. for the | Most part, the work of the middle-men, who buy up all in the market, and then make com- binstions to charge enormons prices Efforts are being made elsewhere to counteract this. A Cincinnati paper describes a company now organizing there to establish a mammoth gar- den for the growth of all kinds of vegetables and fruit, and furnish them to citizens, in ‘wagons, on orders. It is promised that mar- keting by this new method shall cost the con- sumer only a little more than one-half the pre- | eent prices asked. The same arrangements might be made here , and elsewhere, and to apply to the pur- chase or production of many other articles. At any rate some unity of action on the part of our citizens, with a view to forming associa- tions to relieve themselves from this growing evil, may accomplish much good. The experi- ment is worth trying, at all events. THE CASE OF JUDGE PATTERSON. | In the Senate yesterday. upon the presenta- | tion Hon. Mr. Patterson’s credentials as Senator elect from Tennessee, Mr. Sumner moved that the credentials be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, with a view to ascertain whether Mr. Patterson can take the oaib preeribed by Congress. Mr. Cowan sup- posed Mr. Pattersen knew whether he could take the oath. and it was hardly worth while to reter the credentials to the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into his ability to do it, Mr. Sumner’s motion prevailed, however; the Opposition to the admission of Mr. Patterson being ostensibly on the ground that he hela a judicial office in Tennessee while the Confed. eracy existed. Although. ifthe fact be as stated in debate, that Mr. Patterson, in his capacity Of judge of one of the courts of the State of Tennessee. did take an oath to support the Confederate Government, which was at that time the de facto government, yet it is alleged that he mformed the Confederate officials tha! he did not recognize their authority to admin- ister the oath, and omiy yielded to the force of | circumstances, pesides his record as a staunch and consistent Unionist is well known hi Under these circ umstances, the Senate might: we think, have safely leit the matter with Mr. Patterson and bis conscience: partic- ularly as his incegrity has never been ques- tioned. As it is, there are many who will | Gzaw the inference, whether justly or unjastly, | that the true ground of the opposition to his admission was the fact of his being a son-in- law of the President, and a conservative in polities. ———____ CoxrIRMED.—The Senate yesterday, im ex- ‘cutive session, confirmed General W.
