A large number of contracts for July delivery remained unprovided for, and through the competition between buyers prices were forced from 63 to 69 conte. The market is undoubtedly under the control of # strong combination, and an effort will probably be made to advance prices to a still higher range.” The New York Post of Saturday evening says: “Inquiries were made to-day as to the fiect on the gratp trade of the great ‘corner’ in corn which ye-terday culminated in Chicago, when corn was forced up to 80 cents per lush Mr. Frankiin Egon, the president of the pro- duce exchange, said that the speculation had not infinenced the market in this city, where corn was sold yesterday at 79 and 78 cents per bushel, althongh its freight from Chicago costs 13 cents. The combination did not include any firms in New York and Liverpool, as reported, but was confined entirely to the neighborhood of Chicago, where its immediate effeet would alone be felt.” A Caruotic Priest, parich at Cape May, inthe course of his ser- mon yesterday, took ‘occasion to say that the so-called “sacred” concerts given at the great botels ox Sunday ought not to be patronized by pious people. He is of the opinion that “sacred” concerts can be given nowhere except ina Catholic church; and to compel the Catholic guests at the hotels to choose between the con- certs and the church services, he fixed the hour for ‘*vespers” at § p.m. The telegraph inferms us that a number of Catholics held an informal meeting In front of St. Mary’s church, and de- nounced the priest for violating Catholic usage in changing vesper, tervice from afternoon to night. The matter is to be reported to Bishop Carrigan at Newark. Tae Peacu’ Cxor.—If the estimate of the peach Yagi (442,000 basketa) be correct, more than one-fourth of the crop of the present searon is already marketed, and as yet we hare not got beyond the Hates, and have not partak- en of areally good peach. Consumers will be loath to believe that the season is one-fourth over, and will hang hopefully on the estimate of the ratlroad companies, (800,000 baskets,) which is more likely to prove the trusone. They reckoned that almost one-half the shipments would be of the Hale varieties, and it does seem if the crop be no greater than their estimate, that they will he correct in this particular.— Wilmington (Del.) Commercial. @ bas charge of a DivipENp For Jay Coons & C tenstee of the estate of Jay Cooke & Saturday another dividend from Ga worth, president of the Oregon Steam tion Company, amounting to 818, which, reduced to currency, produced which, added to the dividend received days since, amounts to €61,51602 alread received upon the $1,500,000 stock in that com- ee, held by the estate. Other dividends will follow. THe ARKawsas Constitutional Conven- Tron on Saturday adopted the franchise article of the new constitution. It provides that every male citizen of the United States, or who has declared his intention of becoming a citizen, twenty-one years of age, and who has been a residet of the state twelve months, of the county six months, and of the precinct one month, snall be a qualified ‘FICIAL CORRUPTION IN CHICA- Go.—The bribery which the Chicago Times ha- distinctly char; on the members of the Chi- cago common council, in the recent election of architects for the new Court-house bi Will be investigated, and it is affirmed that a number of the aldermen will be indicted for corruption im having sold their votes.

On Saturday President Hinckley, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore rail- road, forwarded a communication to Postmas- ter General Marshall, which was not received until to-day, reiterating his former statements relative to increased compensation, and saying that if the department ured his cars it must pect to pay for them. On Saturday evening the Postmaster General sent him a gram saying: ‘If you will not continue the transpor- tation of the matlsover your road on the terms and conditions preacribed by law refuse them when brought to you.” To this Mr. Hinckley replied this morning as follows: “| have your telegram. -1 shall not refuse to take the mails to-morrow if you send them to ons station, for your act in askiog us to carry the mails will be our assurance that you mean to tae Drayaned rice, and I leave you free to de- cide the question as to employing oar services or not. You of course will not employ unless yen mean to pay for them.”” To this Postmaster General Marshall sent the following reply :—* Your telegram is received, in which you Say you will not refuse the muis if sent to your station. If you receive and carry them it must ouly be on the te of the law. Under no circumstances can or will the depart- ment, directiy or impliedly, undertake or as- tume to pay a greater compensation than the law allows. George S. Banga, general superin- tendentof the railway mail service, is instructed barren = pi After the above reply was sent by telegraph the communication, dated August Ist, trom Mr. Hinckley, came to hand, upon which the Post- master General telegraphed him as follows: *Your letter of August ist only just received since my previous telegram of to day was sent off; would, it received earlier, have made no change in that telegram.” Assistant Superivtendent W. L, Hant iain Philacelphia, and in conference with Mr. Hinckley. He telegraphed to tne Postmaster General thie morning, saying there would be no interruption in the transportation of the mails to-day. It is understood that Cul. Scott, of the Pennsylvania railroad, has expressed his willingness to carry the mails over his line in case the Department tenders him the service. 2s +202 “A Fire Bovutevarp.”’—Chi which seems disposed to learn by the éxperience of two great fires, now proposes to build what is called afireboulevard. The suggestion, as explained by the Chicago Tribune, is “that a belt of ter- ritoryof the width ef a block, running weet from the lake to Ashland avenue, and thence north, should be purchased by the city and set apart as a people’s park and boulevard, forming at the same time one of the greatest’ possible protections against and preventives ot the spread of fire that can be devised.” Sucha boulevard, the Tribune says, will be built in twenty years. It will form # barrier beyond which fire could not extend ;more than all, the editor adds: “It will penetrate the most thickly settled portions of the city, giving breathing space and relaxation to multitudes who are now confined to the crowded tenements and narrow streets where they live. Ina few years this park, planted with trees, will be not on ly @ place of heaithful recreation, but will be an Ornament to the city beyond comparison wi'h any other public improvement. In point of ne- cessity as@sranitary measure, and as an all. sufficient barrier against fire, its value is not to be computed in dollars and cen! A VIOLENT ScENE IN THE Fazncn ASSEM- BLY.—A violent scene occurred in the French Assembly on Saturday. General D'Istria, a Bo- napartist,on Friday us d the expression that the republic had succumbed before the scorn of honest men. Saturday he was challenged by the members of the left to repeat the words, which he did. Thereupon Victor Schodehr, a republi- can, gave him the lie, andseveral deputies from the leit rushed toward him, shouting and shak- ‘ng their fists. The president of the Assembl apable to restore order, suspended the sitting {tis probable that several duels will follow fhe permanent committee of the Assembly, which is to sit during the recess, bas been It ie composed of six legitimists, ten members of the moderate right and right cen- tre, and nine of the left. ‘The Bonapartists are wholly excluded.

Carter, who was sentenced to the state prison for murder. It is now proved that he was in- nocent. The man murdered was Ira B. Wheel- er, and Carter was im bis employ. Domestic trouble arose, and Wheeler accused Carter of heing too intimate with his (Wheeler's) wife. {n one of the quarrels Mrs. alaryge gpronge up a hatchet and killed her husband, a she per- suaded Carter to help conceal the body. Both were arrested, and Carter, woak-minded as he is, was induced by Mrs. Wheeler to father the crime. Both were convicted, but she was dis. charged on awritoferror. A petition for the pardon of Carter was signed by the jadge who delivered the sentence and a large number of citizens of the county of Pepin where the mur- der was committed seven years ago. A SAD CASE OF DEATH from hydrophobia has just occurred tn Dublin. Iwo children. Thomas and Michael Mooney, sons of the gatekeeper of the Cabra gate of the Phoenix Park, were play- ~~ outside their father’s door a few days since, when a stray dog came by, of the retriever or pointer breed, and biteach of the children in th@cheek.

The southern portion of New Mexico ha- been well explored and described by skilifu army officers, especiaily those graduated froa Weert Point, who, by their superior educatior were 60 weil fitted for the task. But Capt. Ma ning is wrong in suppcsing that the remnant of these aboriginal inhabitants is descended of the mystical moand-builters of by-gone ages. Drese, tradition, language, Teligious ceremo- nies, all conform to the idea that they are de- scendants of either the Tascalans—the allies of Cortez—or the Montezumas. The only openly performed religious festival is called the day of Montezuma, personated by some one, accom- panied by his daughter, Malinchas. All other ceremonies are performed in a cellar-like build ing called La Estufa, and no eye, save that of oue of these so-called Pueplos, ever beheld any ceremony performed therein. When it takes place the town is surrounded by their guards, and no traveler, white, brown or black, can for that night arrive in the town. There are many such towns on the Rio Grande—from Santa Fé west, St. Domingo, Los Luces, Los Lentas, Limitas, Socorro, Islete, and ny others. Their fields, farms and vineyards are a model of neatness, which might be well imitated by our eastern farmers; the houses in the towns are tastefully decorated and white war |, and ~— scrupulously neat and clean; in lieu of glass the window panes are made of crystallized gypeum, very clear and trauspa- rent. One feature is noticeable in their towns— the houses have no doors! the ingress and egress takes place from the roof—a means employed undoubtedly in former times to guard against surprise by their ancient enemies—the Apaches. Although nominally Catholics, they retain yet many of their ancient customs; every morning atthe rise of the sun the head of the family mounts tothe roof and peers into the sun, to see if Montezuma is coming.

Tradition has it that the sacred fire was guarded here, gether with a monster enake, to whom children were sacriticed daily; but on the advent of the Americans the fire happened to die out, the people deemed themselves bewitched, and scat- tered.

New York, August ‘The third district court room, Brooklyn, was again crowded this on the occasion of the case against Theodore Tilton fur libel coming up for the second time. Both plaintiff and defendant were resent. After @ number of mivor cases had — disposed of, Judge Riley read the fol- wing DECISION IN TRE CASE: In the matter of the people vs. Theo. Tilson, I entertained the complaint in this case and issued @ warrant against defoudant, believing it to be my «uty todos. I had no knowledge of complainant or his position in the matter. Defendant was arrested on that warrant, and appeared before me personally and by counsel, and comprainant, and thos made known to me for the first time. The complaint was not made with the knowledge or consent of the person alleged to have been libelied. Now, while it is true that a libel is a public offense, it ts also true that it is such offense because of the private wrong and injury it inflicts upon the individual libelled. Complaints of the kind usually originate with the person assailed, although it is not al absolutely essential nd many cases occur where third persons may interfere without in- curring odium or censure of any kind. As a public offence, however, consists in injury done or threatened to #n individual, it is hardly con- sistent with legal principles to assume a crime from any composition or publication, however virulent, when the person therein mentioned, who is generally supposed to be the best judge of what affects his own reputation, deciives or omits to prosecute therefor. The person men- tioned in the publication complained of is a cit- izen of Brooklyn, to whom the courts are ac- cessible. As to complainant in this case, has not seen fit to make any complaint, and does not unite in this prosecution. I have con- ciuded at this stage of the case that it is my duty to dismiss the complaint; not because com- laipant did not have the right to make it, but ause the person alleged t» have been libeled does not now unite in this prosecution; but as I may be wrong in my view of the | i will ineur no risk of error in the matter. I shall not, therefore, diemiss it now, but give notice that I will do 80 on Wednesday morning next, at ten o'clock, to which time the case stands om yee ed. My object in thus postponing the final deci- sion being to afford complainant an opportani- ty to apply to the supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel me to proceed. If I err in refusing in this event, I sball cheerfully per- form whatever may be regarded as my duty in the premises. Otherwise I shall terminate the case, as I have already stated.” MR. GAYNOR WANTS To KNOW. When Judge Riley had finished jreading his decision, Mr. Gaynor rose aud said, ‘Does your honor hold that under the law { have no right to this complaint?” The court replied that inasmuch as he was not oy ae by the party libeied, he had pre- pared bis decision, and would dismiss complaint on Wednesday next, if no other steps were taken by complainant. The judge then stated that the case Was adjourned. so The Saratoga Races To-day.
