AMERICAN TRADE WITH FOREIGN CoUNTRIES.— Day by day American products in European Markets grow steadtly into popular favor, Tae Department of State is constantly in recelpt of informstion from our consular officers tn all paits of the world showing that this gratifying exhibit is not confized by ény means to Europe, but extends to every part of the globe. Their Personal testimony not only bears witness to T, but the newspaper clippings from foreign Journals which are from time to time forwarded to the Department of State by them are con- clusive evidence of the fact. The pubile at large have no adequate conception of the ex- tent to which our manufactures and products are entering and monopolizing foreign markets. A recent despatch from the consul of the U. S. at Geneva shows that American beef and live stock have even penetrated as far as that region, and that the value of chotce catt!s, raised in large Dumbers in Switzerland for the Ports and French markets, has been sensibly diminished by importations from America, PgrsonaL.—Hon.

TWO CENTS. Political Notes. Ninete ballots were taken in the Georgia democratic state convention yesterday for gov- erner, On the 19th ballot the vote stood: Col- Quilt 211, Lester 58, Hardeman 51, Gartrell 17, gud Warner 13. It needs 235 votes to secure the nomination. The convention then adjourned until to-day. Hon. John A. McMahon, democrat, third Ohio district, has yielded to the pressure, and with- draws his declination of another congressolual term. Mr. McMahon is one of the ablest men Ohio has ever sent to Congress, and will give great strength to the democratic ticket. Mr. James G. Bain announces himself as an independent candidate for Congress in the Nor- folk (Va.) district. Senator Wade Hampton is to speak at Fin- castle, Va., next Monday, and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will address the Hancock and English rati- fication meeting at Alexandria Aug, 12th. Senator Blaine will make his first appearance on the stump in Maine at Gardiner to-night. It is estimated that there will be 4,000 re- | Aspe meetings in Indiana during the pend- ig canvass. It is rather cheeky in General Banks to de. nounce Hancock as “a mere soldier,” and it is not strange the democrats pick him up for {t.— Boston Herald (1nd) Ex-Senator Charles H. Bell, of Exeter, is an aspirant for the republican nomination for gov- ernor of New Hampshire. Senator Vance, after an extended tour in tae north, returns to North Carolina confident of the success of the Hancock ticket. Luke Pryor will be a candidate for the United States Senate before the Alabama legislature just elected. The Springfield Republican (ind.) thinks that thus far Garfield leads Hancock in the presiden- tal contest. On the score of ill-health, Judge Thomas Hell- man has declined the democratic nomination for Congress in the 1sth district of Illinois. The conundrum in New York—and elsewhere— is “Why was Senator Conkling absent from the republican conference?” The apathy complained of this year in po!l- tics cannot be said to prevail in Virginta. The war between the funder and readjuster papers is red-hot. The idea of a compromise under the circumstances seems hopeless. ‘The Boston G/ove alleges that the republican State committee want #10,000 for each of the Boston congresstonal districts.

LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF THE FAILURE IN 1573, A somewhat complicated but important liti- gation, growing out of the failure of Jay Cooke & Co., the bankers, was decided yesterday by Judge Daniels, of the supreme court. It will be remembered that the New York house of Jy Cooke & Co., had also a branch firm in London known as Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co. The Suit in question is rough by one of the men- bers of that firm, John Henry Puleston, against his associates, Hugh McCulloch and Frank H. Evans, as also Edwin M. Lewis, as trustee of the estate of Jay Cooke & Co., in bankruptcy, aud Francis D. French. By the complaint it up- ‘ared that subsequert to thetr failure the Lon- Son tirm borrowed considerable money from Wiliams, Deacon & Co., bankers, of London, and as security for the same pledged various railroad bonds and other collaterals belonging to the firm of Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co. From time to time Williams, Deacon & Co., sent certain portions of these collaterals to French, the agent of Jay Cooke & Co, in this country for sale tu the market. The London firm of Cooke « Co., Went into liquidation, aud French repre- sented them for this purpose. No settlement, bowever, bas yet been had, and the plaint! charges that Evans has commenced sults In England to gain possession of the surplus as- Sets of his late firm. It is stated that, asa r- Tult of the sales for Willlams, Deacon & " French has now in his bands proceeds amoun!* ing to#200,00, leaving in the hands of \ liams, Deacon & Co. securities, together witt What French now has, amounting to $100,000 ovei and above the debt due them. The pla‘ Uf! asserts that French intends to remit all sums held by him to Williams, Deacon & Co., whic: if he ts allowed to do, will work irreparable jury to the partners.’ He accordingly asks for an Injunction restraining the wlihdrawal of this money, petitions for an accounting and ash that the surplus in the hands of French be d's- tributed to the various partners according to their interest. In deciding the case Judze Dauiels, after reciting the facts, goes on to say that the motion shouid be allowed so far to pre- Vail as to continue the injunction In the form in which it had already been issued. He did noi ‘think the appointment of a receiver necessary, and therefore denied the motion of Lewis tor that purpose.—™. F. Herald, 61%, WORSHIP IN THE Woops. The Methodist Protestant Camp- Meeting.

CO., MD., Aug. 7, 1889, Yesterday this camp was fafrly opened, that is, the various meetings were held according to Program, and were fairly attended, the tenters having generally fixea up their domestic affairs. ‘The morning service was conducted by Rev.

The Savior was as ready now to heal theafilicted, and he urged that Christians should bring their sick to him as was done at Capernium. A season of prayer followed this Ineetng until after 9 o'clock. During the day, between the services, some ot the young people engaged tn sinying, using the large Estey organ at the stand, while others sat about the tent doors in conversation or rambled tnrough the woods.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS BY C/TIZRNS, Frequent applications are made by property owncis who are making valuable tmprovements in sections of the city remote from improved streets for street work in the vicinity of their property. The Commissioners have not appro- priations for all such work, and if they bad, it Would not be politic in many Of Uhese cases to comply with the juests, as it would require heavy outlays to make the connections between such improvements and the streets or avenues already paved. In order to alford relief in such cases, a system of permit work has been de- vised’ by Licut. Green, and for some Ume past has been in operation with good effect, Under this system the District furnishes all the neces- j Sary materials, and the py y owners have the work done at their own expense, subject to inspection of tbe engineer's office, a di it of $50 being required in advance, from the appli- cant, to Guaiabtee a proper use of the material furnished him. The appropriation for the pur- cbase cf materials for this purpose for the current yesr is twenty thousand dollars, and as the contractors for furutsuing materials to the District agree to deliver it’ wherever ordered, the empense of such delivery is thus avol ed to the applicants for street work.
