Decision Avriamen.—The Secretary of the Interior bes affirmed the dccision ef the Com- missioner of the General Land Office rejecting the application of Robert Burnett and Thome: A. Sanchez to purchase, under the 7th section of the act of Congress, approved July 23, 1355, certain tracts of land excluded from the survey of the Rancho Sansal Redondo Y Guaspeta in the Los Angeles land district, California. The Dry Goods Market. The commission Loses transacted bat a vers moderate business during the early part of the week, throughout which period prices of both coiton and woolen goods were nominally steady: but on Saturday the ente: wedge of @ break in prices of staple cotton goods was driven by a house repre-enting some of the best accounts in the market, and their example in redacing cur- Tent rates was necessarily followed by agents of other manufacturers having similar lines of goods to offer. The immediate etfect of reduced prices was seen ina freer distribution ofemany staple fabrics to the city jobbers, who have so long been holding aloof from the market. The jobting branches were quiet throughout the week, although probably the gross distribution effected exceeded that of the previous week, owing chiefly to the more liberal reesipts of orders from the interior. Despite the unusually large amount of goods forwarded te the west eariy im the season, that section is still forward- ing liberal orders for the renewal of assortmants; but there has been lately a less important de- mand trom the near-by states, owing probably to the momentary paralyzation of the various industrial interests, and the non-employment of thousands of operatives. IMPORTED FABRICS. The market for imported fabrics has rnled exceedingly quiet in private hands. The im- porters’ transactions were almost exclusively confined tothe sale of small and gencrally an important parcels of colored and mourning #.and a few other specialties, while with the jobbers the trade movement was de- cidedly slow and devoid of interest. Both British and Continental dress fabrics were teken in moderate quantities by country retailers, but the city retail trade has been devoid of ani- mation, and the retailers’ operations have con- sequently been inconsiderable in the aggregat= amount. Prices of dress fabrics are less firmly maintained, and in some instances are coasid- erably lower in private hands, and have shown amarked decline in the auction-rooms. Fine makes of black mourning goods have been in fair request for reduccd quantities at steady rates, and black alpacas, mohair lustres and brilliantines were taken according to the re- ments of the trade.—. ¥.

CARD ¥ROM HORACE RESLEY, FATHER OF THE ACCUSED. Mr. Horace Resley, elerk of the cireuit court r Allegany county, Md., publishes a card in the Allegarian, in which he answers the impu- tations thrown upon his offieial conduct by the Cumberland Times, which cost the editor, } Ulary, his life. ‘The Times charged Mr. Kesley with allowing talesmen summoned from Lona- soning $3.0), whereas they were only entitled to $7.75. Mr. Resley shows that these persons were law entitled to $5.50, which they receiver he Times asserted that the talesmen from Mt. Savage were not paid atali. Mr. Resley showa that the court refused to allow them psy and mileage when they were discharged, but subse- quently reconsidered the order, and those of ‘hem who bave called at the clerk's office have received their certiticates. The ‘Times also charged that the morey for the Lonaconing ja- rors had been handed over to Mr. Patrick Mul- len, @ satelite of the present incumbents, tisthibution. Mr. Re emphatically denies the charge. He makes no allusion, however. to the tragic affair which grew out ‘of this most unfertunate publication. The Baltimore American says, in reference to this card :—“We can see nothing in it that wou'd justify a suit for libel, much less a dead- ly assault. Mr. Clary was merely mistaken as © certain facts. If his attention had been call: to these mistakes he, no doubt, would eaeerful: y have corrected t Young Mr. Resley killed him betore he had any opportunity to make reparation. We therefore call the act a wanton murder. Keiser z TARRING AND PRATMERING Case.—G. B. Banks, S. H. Bur- gees, Wm. «J. Wood, James MeKay, and Henry Kt. Prime were arrested at Huntington, L. 1.

After making a few repairs and coating we slipped our cable on the morning of August 30th, and after a few hours steaming came (o anchor off San Francisco. September 21, took our departure for Victoria, sighted Cape Flat tery the afternoon of the Bth, and at 2 a. m. of the 9th came to anchor at Port Angelos Bay Washington territory. EXAMINING FOK A TERMINUS FOR THE CABL Soon atter breakfust boats were lowered and preparations made to examine the harbor— Lieut. Baldy being detailed to examine a lagoon; Lieut. Norris and Pilot to take soundings, and Mr. Fisher, naturalist, and Boatswain Barker to dredge ‘and collect specimens. Ali hands were on board again by 1 p.m, and shortly afterwards ig ar under way for Port Towu- send, W. T., ing there about 6 p. m. THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN. The scenery through the S! ts of San Juan de Fuca was very attractive, and as we passed the Island of San Juan al! were eager to see that g-eat bove of contention, and the decision the Emperor of Germany and the Alabama ms were the theme of many. Our pilot Capt. Butler, an old pioneer in these parts, had many amusing incidents to tell of its history. ARRIVAL AT VIOTORIA—NAVAL COURTKSLES, ETC. ‘We left Port Townsend on the 10th of Sep- tember, and arrived here about 10 p. m. the same evening, coming to anchor in tue Koyal Roads. The following morning we found anchored near us in Esquimalt Harbor nearly all of the English Pacific squadron, under com mand of Admiral Sir Arthuc A. Cochrane, and the usual naval eourtesies were exchanged. We left here on the 11th for Nanaimo, a small mining town in British Columbia, for coal, re- turning on the 14th. HARS AND GRORGIA STRAITS. ‘The scenery through these straits on oar pas- naimo was very picturesque, and the spow-clad summit of Mount Baker, one of the highest peaks on this continent, was plainly scen, which our pilot informed us was about two hundred miles off. We left Victoria ou the isth, and about p. m. the same evening came to anchor in Neeab bay, neat Cape Fiattery. ¥INAL DEPARTURE AND FIRST CAST TAKEN Ou the morning of the 17th of September we took our final departure from Cape Flattery steaming on a great circle course to Japan.

York jury in the case of Stokes, for murder of Fisk, found a verdict of man. slaughter in the third degree last evening, and the prisoner was sentenced w four years in the state’s prison at hard labor. Davis, ines pera tence, maid Li Jud, vis, in passing seni Ne “In sendeting thin verdict, Stokes, the jury bave mi more than exhausted, all the Tey in your case. No appeal to this court ean minish the sentence from the highest penalty aitiacd by the statute in the degree in which You are convicted, aud that is too light and ap- parently trifling as compared with the great crime you have committed. I do not desire to make any further remarks on thix case, bat shall impose upon you all that the law confers power upon me to give: and I only regret that that sentence cannot be more adequate to the crime whieh rests upon your guilty head. The sentence is that you be imprisoned at the state prison, in Sing Sing, at hard labor, for four years.” Stokes was then surrounded and em braced by bis male relatives and friends, and instantly burried off to the Tombs. His fe male relatives were not pri it at the senteace. ORARGES AGAINST TRE JURYMEN. ‘The New York Heraid of yesterd nection with this case says: stated that one jury: lie rooms in the city, while virtually in the care of deputy sheriffs, his opinion as to the verdict that he and his fellow jurymen should agree — By the kindness of the coart he has been lowed an opportunity to transact some private bar This privilege has been abused, and he bas used it to declare his determination that he intends to save Stokes from the ignominy of capital punishment. The phraseology te has used has not been so refined as this, but that har been the meaning of what he has said. Deputy Sheriff French, who has had this juror in charge. states that he and the jaror visited Bry- ant’s Minstrels, the Fifth Avenae Hotel, Keddy the Blacksmith’s, Harry Hill's, and other nota- ble places where convivial parties congregate. In the hearing of a miscellaneous Pat, he Juror has deckared his intention of delivering a certain kind of verdict. This tact has been substantiated on the testimony of more tha one witness, whose evidence is in the possess of the prover legal authorities.

A QUESTION oF Law.—It appears now that the Taintor defalcation case has been reduced to the question whether, under the act of Con- ar lishing the national banks, any off- cer of a national bank, who uses its funds for urposes Of speculation, cannot be held to an- er for an illegitimate conversion of said fands, even though acting in this business with the fall knowledge and consent of the directors. A common sense application of the law, we think, would hold the offending officer and his aiders and abettors responsible for the misappropria tion of the funds of the bank in illegitimate speculation; but there is no telling what may be the issue among lawyers and judges upon a point of law Y.

A $4,000 Burctary.—a few nights ago bur- glars secreted themselves in the large buildin, at 140 Fulton street, New York.

He és one of those active gentlemen who doesn’t believe in stopping @ car, and consequently when he reached the corner of Fifth avenueand Macomb street he made a graceful jamp to the pave- ment. He jumped plump into the man bole of the sewer which had been left uncovered, aud he was soon imbedded up to his neck in'mul and filth. He disappeared so suddenly that no- ayy, missed him, and he stood upright in the mud for an hour before his shouts reached the ears of Officer O'K eefe, who fished him out.

The paddlers at the Kensselaer iron works notified the proprietors that they shall refuse to work for less than 85.25 per ton. They were informed that the price was out of the question, and that the offer of running the mili on a basis of $5.10 for puddling was witadrawn.
